Ask HN: Why is the hunger for RAM never satisfied?
Throw 16GB at a system and start up a few browsers and other programs, and pretty they have used up almost all the RAM. It seems browsers in particular will happily eat all the RAM they can.<p>Why is this?  At what point will the hunger of apps for RAM be satiated? With 32GB? 64GB?<p>With all the advances in tech, why are our hardware still struggling to keep up with demands of the apps we use?
