How much RAM do you have in your dev workstation/laptop?

@pervognsen [32 GB] But only as of a few weeks ago when I included an upgrade from 8 GB with my storage space upgrade.

One of the arguments against immediate mode UI is that it will drain your battery. I think that's bollocks!

Here is my "proof of life" test to measure power draw. Preliminary result is that Dear ImGui consumes less power than YouTube. That feels like a fairbar to compare against

I'll of course take some much more rigorous measurements and tests over longer periods of time. This is just the first time I have actual data.

@wolfpld @amonakov @forrestthewoods @castano Arch's turbostat package has as its URL https://www.kernel.org which'll probably explain why it's not on github as a mere random utility. It seems powerful from my first run and a glance at the manpage. Cheers for mentioning it, Alexander!

@wolfpld @amonakov @forrestthewoods @castano Yeah, I was actually interested myself in this power stuff just the other day, knew about powertop from my laptop days, but was disappointed to find it didn't do it for me on this desktop. So gave up, not having come across turbostat.

Here's the closest I can get to .csv just from turbostat itself: https://miblo.net/_files/turbostat_1714048427.txt

sudo turbostat --quiet --enable Time_Of_Day_Seconds --show Time_Of_Day_Seconds,power --Summary --out turbostat_$(date +%s)
