morning

Mornin'

morning! trying to roll out a new version of plantuml-mode today

moaning!

I’m about to release a new version of clj-kondo this weekend with detection for unused bindings (function arguments, let bindings, etc.) I’d appreciate it if someone would test this, since I refactored quite a bit of code…. So if you’re bored… 🙂

I’m not often bored, but I do try to squeeze as much quality Clojure time out of my personal time, so I can give it a shot tonight if you want. My code base is still very small and I’m mostly trying out stuff, but I’d be happy to test it.

Thanks! Are you using Mac, Linux or Windows?

I see you joined the #qa channel, so the link is there as well

Yep. I’m a Mac user.

In fact I’m going to order a new personal MacBook next week. I don’t trust the one I have anymore. It regularly completely hangs, I sometimes see things that might point to data corruption 😞 In the old days I used to know and recognize the signs of a failing hard drive, but I find that much harder with SSDs…

Battery is also poor by now. The machine is from 2013. Still pretty good in terms of performance 🙂

how old is it?

ah

are you going for the new i9 8-core Macbook Pro?

I’m thinking i7. Don’t really need the extra bit of performance I guess.

Rather spend those couple of hundred euros on an new display.

so 13"?

No 15".

I’m looking at it myself too, 32GB of memory would be nice… but 4200 euros (for the 8 core + 1TB SDD), I’ll have to think about it 🙂

Yeah the memory is also difficult decision for me. Lots of money.

then again, I can deduct BTW etc because I’m a freelancer

Still got this display at home: https://everymac.com/monitors/apple/studio_cinema/specs/apple_cinema_display_20_2.html. It just won’t break 😉

Yeah I don’t have that luxury. Might wanna try at some point, but the concept scares me 🙂

I’m a bit reluctant about the new Macbook stuff, because I heard bad things about the keyboard and throttling because of high temperatures which makes the 8 cores pointless

I think the temp issue was initially because of firmware bug?

then again, I also don’t want to spend time on fixing drivers for a cheap linux laptop

But i7 shouldn’t have the temp issue at all 🙂

yeah, maybe the i7 makes sense 🙂

Indeed, and isn’t it amazing that even after more than 5 years the machine still is absolutely fine in terms of performance, and completely supported!

well, that machine is from before 2016 😉

?

when the Macbooks were still good

Keyboard you mean?

overall yeah

Maybe other people here can share their experiences with a > 2016 Macbook. The rumors on the internet might not always give a fair picture

At work I have the one from summer ’18. I’m very happy with that one…

that’s good to hear

At work we have tens of them, I’m not really hearing about issues. Personally I don’t worry about it in terms of buying one myself.

kk 🙂

SSD size is also difficult decision for me btw. I currently have 1TB and struggling to fit everything on. But maybe I should move my photos off to an external drive. It’s sooooo convenient to have everything available all the time though.

And I have to deal with whatever I buy now for at least 5 more years of course.

But €720 extra for 2TB… 😞

I use Dropbox which lets you selectively sync stuff, but I’m still going for 1TB next time (currently 512GB)

I’m not using any of those cloud services atm. Value my privacy too much I guess 😉

makes sense

I sold my soul long ago

hehe never too late. It’s like smoking: one day you just quit. 🙂

I actually did that 🙂

Awesome, good for you!!

good luck letting any subset of the internet completely forget about you 🙂

Yeah well it also takes 10 years for the tar to get out of your system after you quit smoking 😉

I quit when I was 19, now I’m 38 🙂

👍

<optimism mode="off">in this day and age, if you let your stuff leak in someone's datacenter it's more akin to radiation exposure rather than smoking: those genetic mutations aint getting away!`</optimism>`

I agree this is a big problem in our current society, we need to find a way to deal with this. Has to be legislation + tech iMHO. Interesting by the way that legislation (at least here in EU) has a lead on the technology in this case, usually it’s the other way around.

Next Clojure meetup will have (streaming) video.

cool!

feels no pressure whatsoever 😳

I’ll be there asking stupid questions to make you look smart, if that helps? 😉

Haha
