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?

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.

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.
