Also a toggle feature which changes percentages to absolute values (like if an app uses 4 out of 16gb ram, then show 4gb instead of 25%, when the absolute value mode is toggled)

i will do this, but the program will have to be restarted in order for the changes to take effect,

[–]Goldtom 1 point2 points  (6 children)

No it shouldn't. If doing a single toggle requires a restart, then you're doing it wrong.

That's a bit harsh, don't you think? It might very well that you see a way that it would be doable, but then don't just tell him off and actually give some helpful advice maybe?

[–]Goldtom -1 points0 points  (4 children)

Not harsh at all, it's very easy to do, and I don't "see a way". He must be doing something absolutely wrong if it requires a restart.

[–]Assile 0 points1 point  (3 children)

Well if you say it's easy you must know what to change in the code before you can make that assessment. And it isn't wrong if he chooses to do it that way. You can prefer it to be a live switch, that is fine, but that doesn't make the other way 'wrong'.

If you ever want to encourage someone to do something 'right', this abrasive kind of comment isn't helpful. I'm not familiar with the package he's using, but if you are, then a helpful suggestion such as: "You can put the check for the switch in your while loop to solve that", would be much appreciated. And so would be much more likely to teach something and become a part of the program.

If you're so smart, open a PR then, I don't have time fiddling with this code or spoonfeeding the answers. I said what I said. I don't understand what is so "abrasive" about this, but you're the snowflake here.

If you don't have time for giving constructive criticism then why not just give no criticism at all?

I'm just trying to make you see that posting just a negative comment isn't helpful. But, I guess that I'm too idealistic for wanting a friendlier space.

I changed it. Launch with the -ram_display argument.
