@jckarter Does this affect the ability to test optimized code?

@steipete OK, thanks for the warning. I’ll just try something else.

8:44 PM, Jul 27th, 2016 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to steipete

@steipete Even in Xcode 8?

@schwa What do people like? Jenkins?

4:38 PM, Jul 27th, 2016 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to schwa

@schwa I’m considering it. I picked Xcode CI because I thought it would be smoother, being built-in, but just one problem after another.

@toaster4000 For now. Microsoft says that at some unspecified time they will drop the Mac client, only supporting Win 10, iOS, Android.

@petermaurer Yes, in practice, they do differ. pw_dir has always been the “real” home directory.

4:27 PM, Jul 25th, 2016 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to petermaurer

@petermaurer Right. I thought you were referring to the evil part of looking for "Containers" specifically. That could possibly change.

4:26 PM, Jul 25th, 2016 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to petermaurer

@petermaurer Yeah. Maybe slightly better to compare pw_dir to the Foundation-reported home directory?

4:19 PM, Jul 25th, 2016 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to petermaurer

@petermaurer What are you using instead?

@dnanian That would be fine with me. BTW, I wonder if this is an issue when cloning a Time Machine volume…

6:00 PM, Jul 22nd, 2016 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to dnanian

@dnanian OK, so make a .xip, tell the Apple utility to expand it, and then move it to the desired location. :-)

5:58 PM, Jul 22nd, 2016 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to dnanian

@dnanian @bdash I wonder how Archive Utility does it when it expands Xcode.xip…

@McCloudStrife What kind of apps is that?

4:07 PM, Jul 22nd, 2016 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to McCloudStrife

@McCloudStrife The problem is that there’s little to base future estimates on—can’t see issues beforehand. The boiling analogy is apt.

4:06 PM, Jul 22nd, 2016 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to McCloudStrife

@McCloudStrife Yes, but it goes both ways. If the estimated work to continue is small, makes sense to stay in.

4:03 PM, Jul 22nd, 2016 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to McCloudStrife

@McCloudStrife Knowing what I know now I never would have gotten involved, but, now that I’m in, it always seems feasible to continue.

4:00 PM, Jul 22nd, 2016 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to McCloudStrife

@McCloudStrife I would guess the latter. With the MAS you always think you’re almost in the clear and then run into yet another issue.

@McCloudStrife No, but I can attest that it takes a huge amount of time. Has bitten me multiple times as a user, too.

@bdash I presume it’s a security restriction when the target is in a bundle but don’t fully understand. Ma@dnaniannian can explain.

@ObjColumnist @milend @jacobgorban Yes, I’m pretty sure it’s in 10.7, but my 10.7 test system wasn’t working.

3:13 PM, Jul 21st, 2016 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to ObjColumnist

@milend @jacobgorban @ObjColumnist Yes, I tested .xip back to 10.8.

3:10 PM, Jul 21st, 2016 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to milend

@milend @jacobgorban @ObjColumnist Me, too. Until then, Apple is using it themselves, so I consider that an endorsement.

3:10 PM, Jul 21st, 2016 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to milend

@milend @jacobgorban @ObjColumnist My conclusion is that for Sierra if you don’t want to use .dmg you should probably use .xip.

3:06 PM, Jul 21st, 2016 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to milend

@milend @jacobgorban @ObjColumnist I don’t think Apple has actually documented this but my testing (prior to b3) showed they were not.

@ObjColumnist @jacobgorban Functionally, signing is the main difference with .zip. Technically, it’s a different format based on .xar.

2:53 PM, Jul 21st, 2016 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to ObjColumnist

@ObjColumnist @jacobgorban Difference compared with what?

2:51 PM, Jul 21st, 2016 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to ObjColumnist

@jacobgorban Not that I’m aware of, but perhaps that will change.

2:46 PM, Jul 21st, 2016 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to jacobgorban

@etresoft Yeah, I don’t know why I have to keep doing that. Warning comes back now and then without editing that part of xib in interim.

@ccgus I don’t think so. I’ve been assuming that Mac OS X 10.11 and earlier keep their original names, just like System 7 did.

@royfactorial That's what I'm trying now.

@arqbackup The problem is that after it uploads the changed files they change again before it completes the record. So it never completes.

@schwa So far, all positive responses about Amazon Cloud Drive with @arqbackup.

9:38 AM, Jul 20th, 2016 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to schwa

@arqbackup Right. Since the file keeps changing it goes around and around. Backup never completes and also blocks other backups.

@dnanian Interesting! FYI, the hard-linked file is /Applications/Xcode-beta.app/Contents/Applications/Accessibility https://t.co/zC6Fs69uL8

3:45 PM, Jul 19th, 2016 via Tweetbot for Mac

@ozaed Oddly, I got the iTunes update first thing this morning. Updates since then have worked from 10.11 but not 10.12.

3:13 PM, Jul 19th, 2016 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to ozaed

@arqbackup I have e-mailed about that. Basically, the backup never completes. It keeps going back and uploading new changed pieces.

2:34 PM, Jul 19th, 2016 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to arqbackup

@dafacto Yes, that was necessary for it to work with the number of files that I have.

@steipete @arqbackup Yeah, I should investigate Nearline as well.

10:33 AM, Jul 19th, 2016 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to steipete

@arqbackup Most are fixed as of 5.1.8. Still problems with validation/enforcement and large files that change during upload.

9:49 AM, Jul 19th, 2016 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to arqbackup

@steipete @arqbackup I use Arq as well. Second choice for restores due to Glacier delay. Great overall, but tons of issues with 5.x.

@bump Never liked CrashPlan’s client, just the service. Backblaze has (had?) issues with large numbers of files, external drives, xattrs.

9:38 AM, Jul 19th, 2016 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to bump

@danielpunkass @jckarter @concreteniche Yes. The interesting thing about Obj-C is that you can call or override them all.

9:34 PM, Jul 18th, 2016 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to mjtsai

@danielpunkass @jckarter @concreteniche It’s not about embracing because fundamentally protocols are designed to hide details.

9:28 PM, Jul 18th, 2016 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to danielpunkass

@danielpunkass @jckarter @concreteniche I think in practice protocols would intentionally not have enough surface area.

9:24 PM, Jul 18th, 2016 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to danielpunkass

@concreteniche @jckarter That would be nice, but it doesn’t seem realistic to me. At least not on the time scale we need.

9:21 PM, Jul 18th, 2016 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to concreteniche

@concreteniche @jckarter Yes, sometimes overriding private methods was (unfortunately) necessary. Already not possible with Swift.

9:17 PM, Jul 18th, 2016 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to concreteniche

@jckarter @concreteniche In other words, API being “too specific” is both a flaw and a feature depending on the situation/point of view.

9:15 PM, Jul 18th, 2016 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to jckarter

@jckarter So it’s less useful for the cases I’m talking about doing things unexpected by the API designer.

9:15 PM, Jul 18th, 2016 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to jckarter

@jckarter @concreteniche Yes, but patching from the outside is limited because you can’t override anything that’s not in the protocol.

9:14 PM, Jul 18th, 2016 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to jckarter

@concreteniche @jckarter Probably not as flexible. And changing classes to protocols doesn’t make the design/thinking issues go away.

9:08 PM, Jul 18th, 2016 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to concreteniche

@concreteniche @jckarter I just don’t understand this idea that forbidding something magically makes the need for it go away.

9:06 PM, Jul 18th, 2016 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to concreteniche

@jckarter bad decision. Whereas the framework client, without the ability to override, has no recourse.

8:57 PM, Jul 18th, 2016 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to mjtsai

@jckarter If this is about 3rd party frameworks, the vendor can always put a breaking change in a new version. If necessary to reverse a

8:56 PM, Jul 18th, 2016 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to jckarter

@jckarter I mean in general—undocumented/unpromised subclassing details and non-subclassing-related bugs.

8:21 PM, Jul 18th, 2016 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to jckarter

@austinzheng So fear is that either there is no good answer or they don’t care.

8:17 PM, Jul 18th, 2016 via Twitter Web Client in reply to austinzheng

@austinzheng The issue to me is that we know they’re smart, but they have failed to allay the concerns.

8:17 PM, Jul 18th, 2016 via Twitter Web Client in reply to austinzheng

@jckarter Aha, that makes sense. So then you either force a recompile or can’t optimize.

8:12 PM, Jul 18th, 2016 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to jckarter

@jckarter I don’t understand why you have to support bugs (rather than the promised contract) forever. Why not warn like with deprecation?

8:11 PM, Jul 18th, 2016 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to jckarter

@jckarter I would have thought you could revoke a final across a module boundary because clients can’t inline, anyway.

8:07 PM, Jul 18th, 2016 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to jckarter

@jckarter You’re saying no change for Apple Swift frameworks because you consider the API, but it’s about protecting others who don’t?

5:42 PM, Jul 18th, 2016 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to jckarter

@jckarter Right, but presumably you expect that to ultimately benefit end users (indirectly).

5:35 PM, Jul 18th, 2016 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to jckarter

@jckarter @bsneed @colincornaby If it truly “doesn’t affect end users at all,” what could be the point of the change?
