I'd say I'm more disappointed than surprised -- rowing machines have a huge space footprint compared to other equipment. You can stack 3 or 4 treadmills in the same space.

People are really confusing the effects of "wearing a mask on the bus" with the effects of "closing offices and schools down."

I don't see how data recovery is an issue. You should be backing up off-site and locally anyway. Why would you optimize for the specific case of most of the laptop dying but not the SSD? It's more likely your laptop will get stole

Yes. Even once I was in college in the late 90s, to get my own copy of Visual Studio was hundreds of dollars — discounted in the university book store for students from full retail, but still prohibitive for a college student.

A common sentiment on HN (and other programming-centric communities) is nostalgia for early computing days, and specifically, how easy it was to become a programmer. You turned on your Commodore and it booted into a BASIC prompt, for exampl

It's obviously not a non sequitur, it's the essential tradeoff we're making. We could weld every person into their home for the next month and eliminate Covid, but we don't do that because we're trading off public h

Right, but the word "Pro" existed before the Touch Bar, and as far as we can tell customers did not actually like the Touch Bar.

I think I'd wait to see what the Mac Pro supports before coming to that conclusion. Could be something they're still working on for that product, and then when it's working on the Apple Silicon build of macOS will be made ava

OP mentioned specifically VC-backed sea floor mapping companies; I assume those plan to monetize via natural resource drilling.

It's a one-way to the right but there's a no right turn sign on the pillar to the left of the street as you approach it. Not signed great, but still not a legal turn.

That one number can't exist, because there is no one definition of "healthy."

Sibling commenter pointed out why this is wrong, but on a broader level, I don't understand the need to retcon the CDC's incompetence to score points against the anti-vaxxers. The anti-vaxx position is wrong whether or not the CDC

Where is the evidence that customers want it back?

by jdminhbg 5y ago
Right, but there is a distinction in Clojure between what you distribute and what you develop. You aren't shipping an image, you're shipping compiled source code.

If you go to something like the For You screen, you will see a pause while the content is loaded remotely. And if you hit Command-R, it will reload, like a web page. I think the other commenters are right that Music.app is written as a nati

To me that term also implies that images are the primary means of distribution, as in (most) Smalltalks. That said, it's still probably a better term than REPL for the Clojure experience.
718.
by jdminhbg 5y ago
I agree that the term "REPL" is poorly chosen, since read-eval-print-loop equally applies to a Bash prompt. But in this case, it's even more than hot reloading, because you are making changes in the running application, not j

> Does the REPL adds anything to the live-reload environment? Yes, altering state in a running application is vastly more productive than save/compile/reload, even if the latter happens automatically.
