@nriley I was using the side. Do you think there’s a benefit to deleting and re-adding a finger, rather than just adding it again?
@mpweiher Right. Core Data is probably at least an order of magnitude slower, and its objects are heavier.
@reneritchie That you know of. :-)
@nriley Yeah, at this point I routinely fail with four different fingers in a row. It doesn’t like lotion, either, so I’m stuck.
@atomicbird Right. You have to bring the objects into memory to modify them; then, until you save, you get slow in-memory filtering.
@mikeabdullah @drewmccormack Or, probably, for that many nodes.
@drewmccormack And an SQLite index on disk can be way faster than Core Data’s in-memory predicate filtering.
@drewmccormack Not for batch updates like Brent’s “corner case.”
@drewmccormack Would be fun to see those massive schemas as NSManagedObjectModels.
@drewmccormack It’s possibly convenient, but not high perf, to bring all objects into RAM before operating on them.
@mikeabdullah @drewmccormack It still doesn’t work properly with NSDocument, right?
@drewmccormack You think that, absent the history, Core Data would make a better word processing/spreadsheet document format than XML?
@milend @drewmccormack Exactly. Core Data is not bad, but it can paint you into a corner. The article way oversells it.
@drewmccormack Notes and iBooks don’t use it for syncing, either. Nor for storing large amounts of data. No iWork or iLife apps (AFAIK).
@mikeabdullah They do, but basically as a cache layer. Not for primary data storage or for syncing.
@drewmccormack Article says that you should use Core Data because Apple uses it for apps, and Apple knows best. But where are said apps?
@drewmccormack Aperture used to use Core Data, switched away from it, and got faster.
@drewmccormack They use SQLite and other syncing infrastructure for, from what I can tell, are good reasons.
@mikeabdullah @apontious Docs say that -stringWithFormat: uses the “canonical locale” and that %@ calls -descriptionWithLocale:.
@drdrang I must have been thinking of Amazon. Seems like such a basic feature. I guess you could add a unique campaign to each link…
@mpweiher @drewmccormack For evidence, you can look at what Apple does vs says. Are Mail, Aperture, Contacts sync, etc. all “corner cases”?
Finding Apple’s new PHG affiliate reporting inscrutable. Is there really no way to see which apps/songs were clicked on, or from where?
@willco007 It’s still not even documented how various APIs behave in the sandbox, and this is still changing from version to version.
