Hopefully the negative responses in that thread + the conversation here on HN might help them realize that totally removing Code access for Pro users isn't a good look.
And with no free trial period on top of that, nobody is going to want to pay $100+ just to check it out. I can't imagine the conversion rate of that test being positive.
Very cool! This reminds me of ARDI Executor [1] - a piece of (discontinued) commercial software first released in 1990 that took the same API-level reimplementation approach used here. And it did so jaw-droppingly fast considering that it was running on 90s PC hardware. As a little kid using it to play a few Mac games on my Windows PC, it was genuinely inspiring to me to see that this was possible at a time when I was first learning how to code. :) Great to see something with a more modern implementation doing this as well!
It was discontinued in 2005, but the developers subsequently open sourced it and put the code on GitHub a couple years later. [2]
Bonus: One of the engineers from ARDI, the startup that created Executor, was very briefly featured in Bob Cringely's 1996 documentary Triumph of the Nerds talking about the lifestyle of working at prototypical mid-90s Silicon Valley startup.
Minor nitpick, but I would say Phoenician is to Canaanite as Byzantine is to Roman. It gives a name to the local continuity and further development of the Canaanite culture in the northwestern coastal region of Canaan, i.e. Phoenicia, at a time when Canaanite culture to the south developed related but distinct branches of its own.
Yes and no. They believe the peninsula where they may have found the city of Kane used to be a separate island. They think there used to be a channel that filled in over time, converting the island into a peninsula.
I would love to try the pre-bottled version, but unfortunately I'm allergic to soy. I wish they would give an option of the type of protein used since soy is a fairly common allergy.
