@wincent @arqbackup I see that, too.

@bgannin @rosyna I thought 2-letter was always only for Apple.

8:10 PM, Apr 19th, 2017 via Tweetbot for Mac

@ClarkGoble @OluseyiSonaiya @jgordonshare But after seeing more of him, he clearly has/shows lots of passion for non-product things/ideas.

6:31 PM, Apr 19th, 2017 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to ClarkGoble

@ClarkGoble @OluseyiSonaiya @jgordonshare That’s a great point. At first I thought the passion was there but hidden by his personality.

6:31 PM, Apr 19th, 2017 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to ClarkGoble

@owensd Yeah, what a strange way of describing a computer whose defining feature is its display.

4:19 PM, Apr 19th, 2017 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to owensd

@rosyna Is that recent? I recall the guidelines being 3-letter prefix for 3rd-party frameworks and none for 3rd-party app code.

@mjdrayton @schwa Me, too. It still works well, integrates with Lightroom, and I haven’t seen anything better.

3:49 PM, Apr 18th, 2017 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to mjdrayton

@jckarter Cool that you can do that, although I don’t really want to spawn a threat to walk my data structure.

3:01 PM, Apr 17th, 2017 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to jckarter

@gte @tofias You can use it for that, but I think most people just use it to make writing iterators easy.

12:37 PM, Apr 17th, 2017 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to gte

@tofias For ease of coding. Can be a lot of work to manually maintain the proper state stack for an iteration.

11:37 AM, Apr 17th, 2017 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to tofias

@flumeapp That makes sense, but they tell you what you need to do to be in compliance?

11:22 AM, Apr 17th, 2017 via Tweetbot for Mac

@lapcatsoftware No. Makes sense.

@peternlewis Every SE and 5s (and I 4S) I’ve seen has the shake sound (gyroscope?). 6s has it, too, but much quieter.

11:17 AM, Apr 17th, 2017 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to peternlewis

@owensd “t do”?

10:24 AM, Apr 17th, 2017 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to owensd

@jgordonshare @fraserspeirs Aperture was so good.

9:39 AM, Apr 15th, 2017 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to jgordonshare

@mpweiher Agreed. It seems doable, though.

8:52 AM, Apr 15th, 2017 via Tweetbot for iΟS

@mpweiher Do you mean “admitting” in the context of the ownership model stuff?

8:16 PM, Apr 14th, 2017 via Tweetbot for iΟS

@McCloudStrife Thanks. I guess that could be a problem if you have a short password.

7:50 PM, Apr 14th, 2017 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to McCloudStrife

@mpweiher @lapcatsoftware @bxlewi1 What are you referring to regarding low-level code?

7:49 PM, Apr 14th, 2017 via Tweetbot for Mac

@johnhugg I use AirPods most of the time, too. Main use case (when I get a newer iPhone) would be in a car that doesn’t have Bluetooth.

3:55 PM, Apr 14th, 2017 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to johnhugg

@johnhugg Yeah, I think Bluetooth is the way to go. Seems like those options are getting better. Then just use Lightning to charge.

3:48 PM, Apr 14th, 2017 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to johnhugg

@schwa Even more because starting from 70%, the 30% is an increase of 43% (minus fees).

3:38 PM, Apr 14th, 2017 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to schwa

@rjonesy Thanks. One of my favorite apps.

10:59 AM, Apr 14th, 2017 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to rjonesy

@jgordonshare AppleCare is even more of a black hole for software issues.

10:00 AM, Apr 14th, 2017 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to jgordonshare

@DamienPetrilli Couldn’t get that far. It stopped downloading the TV show, citing that the iPad was full, when it had 6 GB free.

3:25 PM, Apr 13th, 2017 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to DamienPetrilli

@z31r4m OK, cool. But it also requires DRM-free content, right?

10:12 AM, Apr 13th, 2017 via Tweetbot for Mac

@z31r4m I’m guessing those don’t do offline.

9:05 AM, Apr 13th, 2017 via Tweetbot for iΟS

@jimmyjamesuk123 That is typically how Apple thinks. But there’s a good chance I would replace the new Mac Pro before their future arrives.

4:30 PM, Apr 11th, 2017 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to jimmyjamesuk123

@jimmyjamesuk123 Yeah, but right now the Amazon Choice SSD is $94 for 250 GB. So about 10x more expensive than the WD HD I mentioned.

4:23 PM, Apr 11th, 2017 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to jimmyjamesuk123

@jimmyjamesuk123 Seems like it would be longer than that given the current rate of progress.

4:17 PM, Apr 11th, 2017 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to jimmyjamesuk123

@jimmyjamesuk123 Seriously, I don’t care of the box is huge. The alternative is lots of stuff that has to go outside the box.

4:15 PM, Apr 11th, 2017 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to jimmyjamesuk123

@jimmyjamesuk123 And what big gain do they get by only supporting SSDs?

4:10 PM, Apr 11th, 2017 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to mjtsai

@jimmyjamesuk123 Why not? Who has the budget to use SSDs for backups and archives?

4:09 PM, Apr 11th, 2017 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to jimmyjamesuk123

@jimmyjamesuk123 Yes, because a 6 TB HD is only $200. And I already have a huge library of them that I will need to connect.

4:01 PM, Apr 11th, 2017 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to jimmyjamesuk123

@jimmyjamesuk123 You’re probably right about what they will do, but I don’t think that’s what they should do.

3:57 PM, Apr 11th, 2017 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to jimmyjamesuk123

@lapcatsoftware No, but sometimes they misspaced it.

3:48 PM, Apr 11th, 2017 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to lapcatsoftware

@notio Seems like the early community feedback was important, though, and devs (still) have the choice of when to start using it.

2:16 PM, Apr 9th, 2017 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to notio

@notio Definitely a lot of churn, but better than sticking with Obj-C or developing Swift in secret or leaving the early warts in place.

2:07 PM, Apr 9th, 2017 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to notio

@notio Swift is the best thing Apple has done for software/devs in a long time.

2:00 PM, Apr 9th, 2017 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to notio

@maxim_ux I haven’t looked into that. Assume it uses the GPU somewhat but is not native speed.

9:31 AM, Apr 8th, 2017 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to maxim_ux

@tjw Thanks. The bug is that my app tries to display it as a text file instead of using Quick Look. Easy to work around and will ship soon.

8:14 PM, Apr 7th, 2017 via Tweetbot for Mac

@mpweiher @lapcatsoftware I was.

3:27 PM, Apr 7th, 2017 via Tweetbot for Mac

@lapcatsoftware Yeah. But I guess financially it was a win?

3:17 PM, Apr 7th, 2017 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to lapcatsoftware

@colincornaby Seriously. Why can’t they automatically update the download at the same time?

2:22 PM, Apr 7th, 2017 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to colincornaby

@_karsten_ It also happens on another Mac with no USB devices attached.

12:53 PM, Apr 7th, 2017 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to _karsten_

@_karsten_ I don’t think so since hardware setup has been the same for years and issues started with an OS update.

12:52 PM, Apr 7th, 2017 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to _karsten_

@mjdrayton Who knows whether there even will be any. Federighi considered the idea of SATA on the Mac Pro a joke.

11:40 PM, Apr 6th, 2017 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to mjdrayton

@jimmyjamesuk123 Also, there have been reports that he made major changes to the way the releases have been managed/scheduled.

7:41 PM, Apr 6th, 2017 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to jimmyjamesuk123

@jimmyjamesuk123 He seems like a smart, affable guy, but I’m looking at the output. Software quality is ultimately his responsibility.

7:39 PM, Apr 6th, 2017 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to jimmyjamesuk123

@jimmyjamesuk123 For me, 10.6 was the best. 10.7, 10.8 OK. Decline really started with 10.9.

7:36 PM, Apr 6th, 2017 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to jimmyjamesuk123

@jimmyjamesuk123 Last couple years have been the worst ever in my time as a Mac user. More bugs at all levels: frameworks, system, apps.

7:32 PM, Apr 6th, 2017 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to jimmyjamesuk123

@jimmyjamesuk123 Endless bugs.

7:22 PM, Apr 6th, 2017 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to jimmyjamesuk123

@cocoadog OK. The way I see it, foo has a formal parameter x, and "parameter" is often used as an abbreviation for "formal parameter."

9:13 PM, Apr 5th, 2017 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to cocoadog

@cocoadog That seems to match Swift but not your definition.

8:30 PM, Apr 5th, 2017 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to mjtsai

@cocoadog “parameter (sometimes called formal parameter) is often used to refer to the variable as found in the function definition”

8:29 PM, Apr 5th, 2017 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to cocoadog

@cocoadog And the argument label appears at the call site right before the argument (value).

7:05 PM, Apr 5th, 2017 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to cocoadog

@cocoadog Wikipedia seems to agree with Swift: https://t.co/PqxvLMBGYx Parameter is the variable in the definition.

@lapcatsoftware Are you using anti-virus software or Drive Genius?

2:59 PM, Apr 5th, 2017 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to lapcatsoftware

@andrewabernathy Mini is still important? There’s no other way to answer that question without implying its imminent cancellation.

@ccgus Good thing we won’t have to worry about bad blocks with APFS. :(

1:13 PM, Apr 3rd, 2017 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to ccgus

@TWSheppard @DoctorPebkac Yes, this has been an issue for me as well. Backups stop during log periods of maintenance.

11:04 AM, Apr 3rd, 2017 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to TWSheppard

@DoctorPebkac @TWSheppard @arqbackup Now that I’m using ACD, the displayed paths are all the same. I can’t tell which backup is which.

8:29 AM, Apr 3rd, 2017 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to DoctorPebkac

@DoctorPebkac @TWSheppard @arqbackup Baffling. Before, I could work around somewhat by setting the path.

8:29 AM, Apr 3rd, 2017 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to DoctorPebkac

@foadafshari Yeah. Technically, the ExpressCard slot was more capable, but I never saw anyone use it, and everyone I know used the SD slot.

7:49 PM, Apr 2nd, 2017 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to foadafshari

@foadafshari I don’t recall that except that the 17" had an ExpressCard slot instead.

7:12 PM, Apr 2nd, 2017 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to foadafshari

@foadafshari What do you mean? The MBP has no SD card slot.

7:00 PM, Apr 2nd, 2017 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to foadafshari

@lapcatsoftware Priority for me: trackpad, Touch Bar, keyboard. And that’s saying a lot, because I don’t like the keyboard.

5:19 PM, Apr 2nd, 2017 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to lapcatsoftware

@marcoarment @rands I really wish there were a non–Touch Bar 15-inch.
