I think that the interesting thing about Eiffel is that it supports design by contract, an idea that was created and implemented first in Eiffel.

This reminds me of good old Clippy.

Surprised he did not choose "American Intelligence"

Oh gosh, “sudo”… because if you use it you are a “super user”?… Not a great name.

To be honest I like the classic UI and would not want to use Rockbox… I have struggled trying to use it with Linux. There are ways, in theory, but actually was a pain in practice. I’ve been told Finder works fine, if that’s the case then that’s great.

Well, the support link says iPod Touch, that’s not all iPods. I was thinking about older models to be honest.

I’ve been told in another comment that they still sync, via Finder. I have had issues with that, but it’s probably okay from what other comments say.

I’ve done an online search and I see other people that have had technical issues syncing with Finder. I guess it depends on the macOS version, iPod model… who knows.

I’ve used Clementine but found it to be clunky and unreliable. Again, just my personal experience with it.

It’s true that after iTunes ceased to exist it was then possible to sync them with the Music app and Finder, I was wrong to say that. I meant to say that Apple no longer offers support for the device.

I have had issues syncing with Finder on a particular model. I assumed these models no longer worked with the OS. Happy to hear that they do. Maybe it was the OS version, or the model. I should try again.

Hi. I am the target for this kind of device. I like to have a dedicated music player, and I like the shape of the iPod classic. I don’t want to use a smartphone.

This device has Bluetooth which the old iPod did not have, which is an enhancement. The old iPod also forces you to sync the music using the iTunes library.

The iPod aren’t supported anymore, they require iTunes which is no longer available on macOS. And iTunes is also not available for Linux.

Exactly my experience with it, and I did the same, which is a pity.

I was hosting a site there, but the administration is unresponsive and I gave up on them. Lovely place, though.

The Interim Computer Museum in Tukwila, WA, is a partner organization.

Is it Cerebus the aardvark perhaps?

I see a code editor and a word processor as having different aims, I wouldn't see vim working for this purpose, personally.

A WordStar port to modern operating systems would be interesting.

It's possible to satisfy a set of requirements with code that's low quality. There's the maintainability of the code, for example, or the performance of the system.

At this time of the year?

... At this time of the day?

... In this part of the country?

... Localized entirely within your kitchen?

This is fantastic. Thanks!

It's meant as an example. The function receives something, which we call v, and returns something else, which we call e. It's not meant to be taken literally as the variable names - otherwise, you are right, e is undefined in that example.

He is just showing how the syntax of a Scheme function corresponds to the structure of a JavaScript function.

Inditex, Mercadona, Movistar?...

'Engineering a Compiler' by Cooper & Torczon is a great resource. It gives context on each topic, explains them clearly, and at the same time, I think, it is a really good resource from an academic point of view. It still requires some investment in terms of time and effort, but I found it more approachable than the Dragon book. I would say that both cover more or less the same introductory stage to compilers construction. If you have read the Dragon book, I have the feeling that you are perfectly well prepared to write your own compiler.
