looks at 1-hour compile-test runs on a threadripper yes, of course, great fit.

  It’s a great option for office work. Need a day off? Have some errands? Hit the compile button.

    lolwut. you mean let your CI/CD on a real computer/server compile it much faster so you can keep working?
• alisonkisk 6y ago
  Seems silly to do that compile/test on a laptop instead of a server.

    Well they're advertising XCode so

    if you have a server for on demand compiles why would you buy a macbook over el cheapo linux machine? besides vanity ofc

      OSX and overall better dev experience?
      • tonyhb 6y ago
        Where'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.

          Not at the company I work for.

            On the one hand I'm kind of jealous, but on the other it's really fun :D

        > better dev experience what constitutes a better dev experience?
        • bloody-crow 6y ago
          From 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.

              No, it's about window being in a non-exclusive fullscreen mode. It's fullscreen, but at the same time can be on the background underneath other windows. Looks like this: https://imgur.com/a/YNzcA0w https://imgur.com/a/YNzcA0w Essentially, I always have terminal in the background even when I'm not working acting as my wallpaper.
              • the8472 6y ago
                Ah, that's basically a frameless maximized window. It requires some tinkering but there are tools to force that behavior on other applications; for both windows and various linux window managers.
