Wait, how slow is it starting for you? On my 2012 Mac Mini, a clean clj 1.11 REPL (with no namespaces loaded) starts in under 5 seconds (using JDK 18).

No namespaces loaded is not a very good benchmark IMO, a real project will have lots of them.

I've worked on a large project with many namespaces and dependencies and it took about 20 seconds.

That seems pretty slow, I've never had it take more than 5 seconds, even on large enterprise backend services.

Maybe your service was also initializing a lot of state/components on startup?

Yep, it's the most insanely underappreciated public health intervention in history.

Many public health people say that iodized salt takes those laurels. Or maybe its the most bang for the buck, at an estimated $.05/person/year to prevent intellectual and developmental problems. Guess it depends on exactly what you mean.

Yeah, they more or less do. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Legislative_Exchange_...

Is Nakamoto consensus not an interesting idea?

Love the product. Too bad you aren't open to remote.

"Cloud-based" shows up as a "Pro" compared to Metabase several times, but that's inaccurate, since Metabase has a hosted offering: <https://www.metabase.com/start/>

Is there a way to buy it outside of subscribing to Apple TV?

It appears to be an Apple TV+ exclusive, so probably not. However Apple TV+ has a 7-day trial in some countries, and you get 3 months free if you buy an Apple device.

I don’t think there’s any subscription lock-in, so I don’t think you’d ever find it cheaper than the cost of a 1-month subscription to Apple TV+

Ah, didn't consider that. Thanks.

There are some ways to “rent” it for free, then you can decide whether to pay Apple $4.99 for the show or not.

Most homes in the midwest, south, and west (apart from coastal California, perhaps) have central air.

Trust me, coastal California is all about air conditioning as well.

Perhaps parent commenter is referring to carbon capture or something similar?

There's one particular company that always asks for these on the phone, and unfortunately I have to call them somewhat regularly. "Yes, my grandma's name is 7lIMkcblbatQ7wXrmamTHc". Interestingly, they always maintain a poker face/tone throughout this process.
