**Johnny Boursiquot:** I think when you tweet, Twitter gives you that option to select who can reply to your tweet... If you select of the options, if you go from everyone to people you follow, or only people you mention... Let's go with the people you follow. I think that's the equivalent of saying "You know what - I ...
**Ian Lopshire:** I agree with that.
**sam boyer:** Yeah... I can't disagree. It's sort of literally true. I think I'm just not sure that it's worse than any of the alternative options, if you sort of play them out a bit. But that feels like a longer conversation... \[laughs\]
**Kris Brandow:** I feel like it's a necessary thing though, because people commenting on the internet are horrible, and they are especially horrible to certain groups of people. So I think it -- I would say it depends on who's using it. If it's just someone that would be praised in bulk, if it was just open and had a ...
**Johnny Boursiquot:** Yeah, the fact that we can all agree on the one thing - that should make for a pretty question to ask our followers.
**Kris Brandow:** Spicy...
**Johnny Boursiquot:** Spicy, yeah.
**Kris Brandow:** Alright, I think that sounds like it's it, since Ian doesn't want to come up with an unpopular opinion...
**Johnny Boursiquot:** Hey, Ian... \[laughter\]
**Kris Brandow:** It's okay, it's okay. That just means you have to automatically have to come back next time, because --
**Ian Lopshire:** I could offer you my backup one, but it's got Aristotle in it, and I don't feel like anybody can understand that garbage... So let's just not. That's a terrible idea. \[laughter\]
**Kris Brandow:** That sounds like a good place to end the episode then... Ian and Sam, thank you as always for joining us, and thank you, Johnny, for being an amazing co-host.
**Johnny Boursiquot:** My pleasure.
**Kris Brandow:** Thank you out there listeners for listening to another very meta and analogy-filled podcast. I hope you've enjoyed it.
**sam boyer:** May your grass ever be greener.
**Johnny Boursiquot:** Get some grass... \[laughter\] Get some grass... Get it? \[laughter\]

• Soft memory limit will trigger garbage collection events as the program approaches the specified limit
• Old method of controlling garbage collection was based on percentage of new memory vs old memory, but this can lead to issues with apps crashing due to excessive memory use
• Twitch had used a hack called "memory ballast" to trick the garbage collector into triggering at different times
