@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.â€
@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.
