On: Ask HN: Why Firefox 21 takes more RAM?

[guojh0570]

Here is Hacker News and I think people here may prefer Firefox, Chrome to other web browsers.

And thank for your information, I will ask Firefox Support Forum later.

And in fact, after I updated my Firefox to 21.0, it seems that it took more memory than before. I run it on Mac OSX 10.8.3

On: Ask HN: What Should I Do With Xcode?

[guojh0570]

I code Common Lisp and Scheme in Emacs, Python in Vim.

I just want to try C programming, after I'm good at C, I may turn to Emacs.

On: Learning Emacs, any tips or tricks, best tutorial?

[guojh0570]

Emacs tutorial itself is a nice start for you.

I'm a senior high student, so I don't think I can do some work in a biology lab - even I want to do. And I don't think the school biology lab does not have enough tools for what I want.

As I said, I'm in China. Thus I don't think there are some hacking spaces and people who have a lab or something like Biohacking spaces.

Thank you for replying, I've visited some websites about biohacking, they're in USA and/or Europe, but I live in China. So I want to know some basic information. Of course I want to meet people who are good at biohacking.

your best bet is https://groups.google.com/group/diybio - there are some people from China and all over the world.

You can find other groups here: http://diyhpl.us/wiki/diybio/groups

Even if you're in high school, you can still join or build your own lab. Don't let school get in the way of your work.

When I visited DIYbio.org, I tried to get in their email list, i.e. group/diybio.. But due to the GFW, I can not see the page. Thus I was so sad.

And thank you for the last line. I do agree what you said, and it's what I think as well.

BTW, it's hard to balance schoolwork with interests, the school doesn't encourage students to discover and do what they really enjoy. I've tried my best, I'm learning Latin as well.

You can send an email to diybio+subscribe@googlegroups.com if you want to read the mailing list. Also, there are public archives:

On: Ask HN: How to use Firefox better?

[guojh0570]

Yes, I always see "about:memory" and minimize memory usage. My machine doesn't run out because of Firefox, but yesterday it took nearly 1G RAM. I have 4GB RAM.

[sp332 → guojh0570]

OK so if you're not hurting for memory, then I think it's using an appropriate amount of memory.

[guojh0570 → sp332]

I just wander why Firefox always takes more memory for no reason-Even I keep the same pages.

On: Ask HN: How to use Firefox better?

[guojh0570]

thanks for replying, and I know Chrome separates its processes. And I just wander sometimes Firefox use the same memory when I open 4 or 8 pages. Even it uses more memory for no reason(e.g. I open 2 pages, but it will increases).

On: So what happened to the HN server?

[guojh0570]

how did you know everyone uses virtualized server environments on mulit-core machines..
