/li:v/ , adj.,adv. [common] Opposite of test. Refers to actual real-world
|
|
data or a program working with it. For example, the response to I think the
|
|
record deleter is finished might be Is it live yet? or Have you tried it out
|
|
on live data? This usage usually carries the connotation that live data is
|
|
more fragile and must not be corrupted, or bad things will happen. So a more
|
|
appropriate response might be: Well, make sure it works perfectly before we
|
|
throw live data at it. The implication here is that record deletion is
|
|
something pretty significant, and a haywire record-deleter running amok live
|
|
would probably cause great harm.
