Finally somebody other than me who is aware of Summoning. They are awesome.
"The Passing of the Grey Company", "Land of the Dead", "Mirdautas Vras", "Nightshade Forests" and "Kor" all evoke specific scenes from the books for me.
As someone who reads 10-20 tech books per year I rate PragProg the highest, then O’Reilly, though not everything is of the same quality there. PacktPub is absolute trash tier. Don’t remember others you’ve mentioned as good or bad
> Here is some Youtube channels that are very solid on approaching weightlifting grounded in real practice and science: Jeff Nippard, mountaindog1 (John Meadows), Greg Doucette, VitruvianPhysique and Renaissance Periodization.
I'd add Mark Rippetoe (Starting Strength on Youtube) and Alan Thrall to that list.
I'd also add Jeremy Ethier for the highest production value videos I've comes across, which typically include insights from research in the flow of the video, and which use nice overlay 'explainer graphics,' which make it easier to understand his detailed breakdowns of muscle-targeting, desired motions/angles etc.
Is it just me or is anybody else also reminded of "The Origins of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral mind" while reading this ?
I have a hunch that ancient peoples could not conceive of a state of clinical depression. That comes along with the modern emphasis on "me" and "my goals" and "my desires"
As Soren Kierkegaard put it "Anxiety is the price of freedom"
Every time I am reminded of that book I become more and more convinced that humanities people are not fully sentient but are in fact advanced Markov chains.
Thank you for your support! I'm happy that it was helpful for you. If you have any questions or get stuck at any point feel free to email me at milancurcic@hey.com. I'll be happy to help.
Wait ... let me see if I can anticipate the top comment
"Electron consumes so many resources ... Why so resource hungry ... My workstation already runs Chrome, can't have electron apps bogging it down ... Slack runs on Electron ... VSCode is the only good Electron app ... Why are we doing this ... Dennis Ritchie would be turning in his grave"
This topic could honestly trigger the "parse regex with html" kind of reply.
Well, Slack is currently taking almost 3 GB of memory on my machine. Not entirely sure if that's due to Electron or Slack, but I have never found an Electron app that didn't consume vast swathes of memory.
If a developer has already decided they care about resource consumption and bloat so little that they're distributing on Electron, then why would you expect them to care about resource efficiency at all?
An empty Atom window containing 5 source code files consumes about 120MB of RAM. For comparison with native apps, an empty iTerm2 window uses 100MB, and so does an empty Notes.app window. The base memory footprint imposed by Chromium is not that significant.
Do you have some packages installed? If so, can you re-run with `atom --safe`?
Granted, it is totally normal to have packages when using Atom, but their memory cost shouldn't be considered a penalty that you pay due to Electron. Rather, it's a penalty that you pay if you want an extensible application in which extensions are allowed to use JavaScript.
I tend to get "helpers" that pile up that seem to consume the most.
I developed an application with Electron (+ Vue + Node) for an internal tool used by non-technical staff at my work and I don't have nearly the consumption as some other applications, but there is a lot less occurring on the renderer process than it appears with other applications.
I've added VSCode (with a large project), my application's usage (censored because it's proprietary, but it's a document-based application) and the worst memory offenders on my system (16GB 2015 MBP):
I've heard of other similar strategies-- but the best one seems to be to offload as much of the work to the main process or talk to a binary wrapped up in the application and do as little lifting with the renderer (the Chromium portion) as possible. My results have been alright so far.
This is no different than every C thread turning into a Rust evangelism crusade. For me personally it’s interesting because it corroborates the fact that stereotypes do exist, and generalizations can be made about groups of people, to the dismay of people against generalizations.
I remember last week's episode on Darknet Diaries where NordVPN was offering 3y plans for a hefty discount. My first reaction was "Are they going out of business ?"
