@leebennett That’s what I’m suggesting.

@argon I’m not when/how the encryption works, but the Facebook binary that iTunes downloaded to my Mac was not encrypted.

@leebennett @FlickrHelp Not sure. It sounded me like he thought only Facebook was getting a different share controller.

@brentsimmons @tofias Plus, it may be the app itself (windows, preferences, etc.) that you want to script, rather than the underlying data.

4:38 PM, Aug 27th, 2015 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to brentsimmons

@tofias @brentsimmons It's still useful for the app itself to be scriptable. IMAP is like an API, but people still want to script Mail.

@nuoji Agreed.

@grynspan @ameaijou @gparker python -c "from Foundation import *; print NSProcessInfo.processInfo().isOperatingSystemAtLeastVersion_"

9:01 PM, Aug 22nd, 2015 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to grynspan

@ameaijou @gparker @grynspan Yes, I just checked 10.9.5 and the method seems to be there (and work).

8:54 PM, Aug 22nd, 2015 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to ameaijou

@grynspan @gparker I know that’s what you recommend, but I've been bitten before by -respondsToSelector: and previously private API.

8:48 PM, Aug 22nd, 2015 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to grynspan

@gparker @grynspan calls to -mjtIsYosemiteOrBetter so it is very clear when I can eventually remove the check.

8:46 PM, Aug 22nd, 2015 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to gparker

@gparker @grynspan I do checks like this this way because: (1) method might have existed before, but undocumented (2) I end up with

@grynspan Yeah, I never quite understood the old system. Always found myself hardcoding latest version since didn't have access to constant.

@danielpunkass Future Daniel will thank you.

7:18 PM, Aug 22nd, 2015 via Tweetbot for iΟS in reply to danielpunkass

@grynspan Yeah, that’s what I use if the other version says it’s at least 10.10. Much more readable.

7:15 PM, Aug 22nd, 2015 via Tweetbot for iΟS in reply to grynspan

@gte It doesn’t solve the same problem. There’s a reason why even Lisp has a formatting micro language even though it has great quoting.

@rob_rix So it doesn't work if f takes an array instead of a SequenceType?

1:28 PM, Aug 19th, 2015 via Tweetbot for Mac

@rosyna Interesting that they added hash ivar for NSIndexPath. NSStringDrawing is a category so not sure what you are referring to there.

1:25 PM, Aug 19th, 2015 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to rosyna

@rob_rix How can you do that if the sequence you receive is not final?

1:18 PM, Aug 19th, 2015 via Tweetbot for Mac

@rob_rix Yes, that is nice.

1:15 PM, Aug 19th, 2015 via Tweetbot for Mac

@rob_rix Wonder how often that is. I would think you’re usually passed in a collection and don’t know its type.

1:14 PM, Aug 19th, 2015 via Tweetbot for Mac

@rob_rix Right, I meant how NSFastEnumeration was designed to avoid message sends.

1:14 PM, Aug 19th, 2015 via Tweetbot for Mac

@rob_rix that slow or that the batching isn’t that worth it.

1:09 PM, Aug 19th, 2015 via Tweetbot for Mac

@rob_rix Yeah, just seems like an odd omission given the focus on performance. Seems like conclusion is either that message sending was not

1:09 PM, Aug 19th, 2015 via Tweetbot for Mac

@rosyna So, again, this is not (yet) an actual performance improvement resulting from Objective-C 2.

1:04 PM, Aug 19th, 2015 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to rosyna

@rob_rix So no batching.

1:02 PM, Aug 19th, 2015 via Tweetbot for Mac

@rosyna But it didn’t break compatibility, and in fact NSEnumerator conforms to NSFastEnumeration (though probably not very fast).

1:01 PM, Aug 19th, 2015 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to rosyna

@rosyna So why are they still using it now that we have Objective-C 2?

12:54 PM, Aug 19th, 2015 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to rosyna

@rosyna I kind of doubt removing old ivars from view classes makes up for slowing down every ivar access with extra indirection.

12:52 PM, Aug 19th, 2015 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to rosyna

@rosyna Non-fragile is great for other reasons, but if we're talking about optimization…

12:52 PM, Aug 19th, 2015 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to rosyna

@rosyna Compiler support, yes. But I thought we were talking about breaking backward compatibility.

12:50 PM, Aug 19th, 2015 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to rosyna

@rosyna Why wouldn't fast enumeration have been possible before? Were there really a lot of unused ivars removed?

12:05 PM, Aug 19th, 2015 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to rosyna

@rosyna That's a good one.

12:04 PM, Aug 19th, 2015 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to rosyna

@rosyna Example?

@mpweiher So when is your book coming out? :-)

@cjwl @landonfuller I thought half the fun with LINQ is that it knows the type of everything. Just not a good match for Objective-C.

12:48 PM, Aug 18th, 2015 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to cjwl

@mikeash @landonfuller Mainly because of Apple, but it was a gaping hole that no one else had filled. And now there’s an ecosystem.

12:46 PM, Aug 18th, 2015 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to mikeash

@landonfuller Could LINQ work well in Xcode without special support (just Swift auto-complete)?

12:44 PM, Aug 18th, 2015 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to landonfuller

@landonfuller Right. Do you see Apple making Swift-only APIs any time soon? Or could a third-party LINQ gain traction?

12:44 PM, Aug 18th, 2015 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to landonfuller

@landonfuller LINQ looks great. Lots of issues with Core Data, but it does have traction.

12:03 PM, Aug 18th, 2015 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to landonfuller

@landonfuller Not sure what your “it’s” refers to. But I agree that it’s a good thing to move beyond OO as the solution to everything.

@mergesort Looks like they did. Thanks!

@chucker Thanks.

@marczak Yeah, I have no idea whether this is a good move. Will be interesting to watch what happens.

@marczak On Page’s motivations or on whether this is good for shareholders?

@soryu2 :) I only added it a few weeks ago. Not sure I like it there. May move to the sidebar.

@soryu2 Thanks for your support. Were you expecting it to say “donate”?

@warwick Do you sell maintenance for your own work or for others’? Maybe the latter is easier?

@steveharris I wonder how many people will not initially know about the direct version because you aren’t allowed to mention it.

@iljawascoding The docs say it has been KVO-compliant since 10.6.

@OvercastFM Would be nice to be able to sort a playlist by when I most recently listed to the episode, so I can easily finish what started.
