Which actually sounds like a good fit for a dev machine, where you only compile once in a while, but do not sustain high loads

- the8472 6y agolooks at 1-hour compile-test runs on a threadripper yes, of course, great fit.
- McAtNite 6y agoIt’s a great option for office work. Need a day off? Have some errands? Hit the compile button.
- stevehawk 6y agololwut. you mean let your CI/CD on a real computer/server compile it much faster so you can keep working?
- alisonkisk 6y agoSeems silly to do that compile/test on a laptop instead of a server.
- vmchale 6y agoWell they're advertising XCode so
- kkarakk 6y agoif you have a server for on demand compiles why would you buy a macbook over el cheapo linux machine? besides vanity ofc
- bloody-crow 6y agoOSX and overall better dev experience?
- tonyhb 6y agoWhere's dmesg, kvm, namespaces, cgroups, and package management built in? What about inodes and cpu spikes even running node on osx? Let alone doing that inside a container. Nah. OSX is long gone for "better dev experience". Linux always wins.
- thrwyoilarticle 6y agoNot at the company I work for.
- tonyhb 6y agoOn the one hand I'm kind of jealous, but on the other it's really fun :D
- sprayk 6y ago> better dev experience what constitutes a better dev experience?
- bloody-crow 6y agoFrom just off the top of my head - Same text editing shortcuts that work consistently throughout all apps in the system including your editor/IDE, browser, and terminal. - iTerm2 having so called "legacy full screen mode" that I use exclusively. (I've been searching for something similar for windows/linux for quite some time). - The general system polish and usability. This is not directly "dev experience", but it's something you interact with while doing development throughout the day and it's just hands down a lot better than anything linux has atm.
- the8472 6y ago> - iTerm2 having so called "legacy full screen mode" that I use exclusively. (I've been searching for something similar for windows/linux for quite some time). Is that about disabling animations? That can be done globally on windows and linux desktop environments.
- skummetmaelk 6y agoA mac server?
- Teknoman117 6y agoWhich don't exist?
- skummetmaelk 6y agoExactly.
- vmchale 6y agoMy compiles take like 8 minutes at worst.
- jonplackett 6y agoYou'd hit thermal throttling way before 8 minutes I'd guess. A lot of my iPhone app builds are pretty quick though, < 1 minute.
- hajile 6y agoI did a lot of development on a pixelbook. Things were mostly fine for development, but compiling took 2-3x as long due to throttling. Our unit tests took around 30 minutes on a fast system though and were simply not worth running outside of the specific tests I was writing.
