Sure, by titty bar I meant like, Hooters, or Tilted Kilt, or Twin Peaks, or Mugs n' Jugs, or Pinupz, or Bombshells, or Show-Me's, or Bone Daddy's, and I only made up one of those.

In current tech companies i can see why tech bros would want to add feeld. If you've been to those offices its basically college 2.0. With tinder you run the risk of meeting someone outside your "school" but with feeld you know your meeting someone of your calibre. So long as their not working on their next viral medium post, watch out boys!

Satire aside, tech companies are super sad and some people literally spend 14+ hours a day there and basically the only thing a company couldn't offer, to keep employees on site and working, was a matchmaking service. And now here we are.

It's a bad idea but anything that hastens the fall of tech company culture is okay by me.

This has nothing to do with Slack and everything to do with Electron.

Not memory capped like Chrome tabs though, is the way I understand it.

Atom has the same problem. It's a god drat text editor that ends up taking over a gig of ram if left open for a while.

Electron is flash for the desktop

https://josephg.com/blog/electron-is-flash-for-the-desktop/

quote:

What is slack doing?
The process was in the background when this happened. I wasn't even interacting with it - I was in a meeting. I only noticed because my laptop fans were whurring when I got back. Restarting slack seemed to fix it for now.

But that's not abnormal for slack. In fact, slack often idles at 5% CPU usage. Whats it doing? I have no idea.

And I bet the slack team doesn't know either. How many lines of code do you think the slack team wrote to make their client work? I'd guess around 50k. Maybe 100k. But slack isn't a native app. At least - not a normal native app. Its built on top of electron, so when you download slack you're actually downloading a complete copy of Google Chrome. Chrome, at the time of writing is 15 million non-comment lines. When you download slack, 99% of the code is 'below the water'.

And chrome is a hog. Its huge and complicated. It uses ram and CPU like nobody's business, and it totally thrashes your battery life.

You can think of slack as a small javascript program running inside another operating system VM (chrome), that you have to run in order to essentially chat on IRC. Even if you've got the real chrome open, each electron app runs its own, extra copy of the whole VM.

And its not a stretch to call chrome an OS. By lines of code, chrome is about the same size as the linux kernel. Like the linux kernel it has APIs for all sorts of hardware, including opengl, VR, MIDI. It has an embedded copy of SQLite, memory management and its own task manager. On MacOS it even contains a userland USB driver for xbox360 controllers. (I know its there because I wrote it. Sorry.)

Does slack contain my code to use xbox controllers? Does the slack team know? Does anyone know? I mean, the slack app is 160 megs on disk. Thats about the size of 70 uncompressed copies of Lord Of The Rings. Who knows whats in there? The other electron apps I have on my computer are Spotify (Edit: Not quite - see below) (200 megs) and Atom (260 megs). The first time I installed linux I did it from floppy disks. It would take 450 floppy disks to store these three simple apps. Together these apps are about the size of the standard desktop ubuntu distribution. Which y'know, probably contains an IRC client, a text editor and a music player. An an entire operating system, user space and web browser.
Sure! You say. Disk size is cheap you say! Sure but ram sure isn't. The brand-spanking-new macbook pros only ship with 8 GB ram by default. Because of battery concerns you can't configure them past 16 gigs. And right now slack is sitting on somewhere between 300 megs to 1 gig of my laptop's ram

like i can understand using extra resources to run in a higher-level or managed language, but javascript is incredibly poorly designed and i dunno why people are trying to leverage it to make desktop chat clients that weigh in at 200MB.

edit: i still laugh about the time NPM was taken down cause a guy took his package with a single left-padding function off the repos, and everyone in the JS community was dependent on it and it broke a ton of people's js applications

Because it's real easy to take a crash course in Javascript and then you can write your entire company's code stack without having to learn anything else.
