00:00:00 ◼ ► Happy New Year and stuff. And happy birthday John Syracuse the forty years old house a feel to be an old man John. [TS]
00:00:06 ◼ ► On my birthday today. It's That's person I'm a spoken to you since your birthday it's close enough. [TS]
00:00:10 ◼ ► Beginning the year with a technicality. So we have some follow up. Let's talk about John's. [TS]
00:00:21 ◼ ► I shouldn't a little bit of research of this but I'll have you do the real time research for me so I [TS]
00:00:32 ◼ ► Management stuff like that one of the things that didn't come up that probably should have was the Austin window [TS]
00:00:44 ◼ ► You probably just accept this as the way things work because it's sort of like how Windows works. [TS]
00:00:51 ◼ ► You've got a bunch one doesn't screen if you click on a window that window comes to the front. [TS]
00:00:55 ◼ ► And it comes and then you click another window in that window comes to the front of the other ones [TS]
00:01:02 ◼ ► I know it's ten if you click on the dock icon all windows from that application come to the front right [TS]
00:01:07 ◼ ► and this is again if you've only ever used always thank you I guess what that's just how everything works. [TS]
00:01:12 ◼ ► And there are menu commands for hide others and. You can option click on something to hide. [TS]
00:01:18 ◼ ► The previous thing to show the new thing and there's also it's a shortcut like about the people now [TS]
00:01:25 ◼ ► and the the doc like brings all the windows the apt. Now back in the olden days. If my memory serves correctly. [TS]
00:01:33 ◼ ► When you clicked on the window. All the windows blowing into the application. Them to the front. [TS]
00:01:38 ◼ ► So it was sort of the opposite of the behavior in a less tent where a special collect in this case a click on a dock [TS]
00:01:44 ◼ ► icon brings in all the front but a plain old regular click just brings the. The particular window. Now. [TS]
00:01:50 ◼ ► Since I am and old person as we've already established. And I come from the old school Macworld. [TS]
00:01:56 ◼ ► When I was ten it came out. I didn't like the fact that when I click the single window. [TS]
00:02:00 ◼ ► Only that window can't with the front end because my window arranging habits and have been built up over years [TS]
00:02:05 ◼ ► and years of using a regular Macin classic my cos I was used to the idea of being able to pull the windows of an [TS]
00:02:12 ◼ ► application forward by snagging a corner of one of the windows and then they would all come to the front [TS]
00:02:20 ◼ ► and then within all the windows of that application which are now visible take on that I wanted because they'd be tiled [TS]
00:02:24 ◼ ► according to you know whatever. And so the whole much utilities that came out for us ten. [TS]
00:02:31 ◼ ► In the early days of us tend to let you switch this policy to make it so regular click brings all the windows of the [TS]
00:02:39 ◼ ► And I use lots of those utilities over the years I think the want to music now is. [TS]
00:02:44 ◼ ► I'm still using Ask them which was supposed to give you an application switcher menu which is like a classic macro us [TS]
00:02:49 ◼ ► thing in the upper right corner of the screen I think that part doesn't work anymore even if it does I have a disabled. [TS]
00:03:06 ◼ ► and if I click any terminal window all the terminal in those come to the front. But if I shift click. [TS]
00:03:18 ◼ ► or the wrong one because I think both behaviors are useful it's just a question of which one do you think should be the [TS]
00:03:24 ◼ ► And the defaults are really the matter that much either I suppose I could have got used to just going down to the dock [TS]
00:03:31 ◼ ► and using them as these big quick areas to do stuff that this is one of the few sort of classic macro S. [TS]
00:03:41 ◼ ► I guess it's probably like a little bit of a system have to do this when they're learning. [TS]
00:03:46 ◼ ► I think drag thing also either had are still has this feature and there may be other utilities to do it [TS]
00:03:53 ◼ ► Listing I don't even know what this thing is doing whether it's us back or not but anyway. [TS]
00:04:04 ◼ ► And I would imagine that both of you have never done this or use any or Teles like this [TS]
00:04:09 ◼ ► and would probably drive you crazy if you could get a single window and they all came to the front from that app. Yup. [TS]
00:04:14 ◼ ► If you tried it's actually kind of neat. I mean you obviously do have to adjust your habits. [TS]
00:04:19 ◼ ► Because you're not losing the ability to do the other thing you just have to you know shift quicker option quicker [TS]
00:04:23 ◼ ► whatever. Modifier quick you decide to make it but it does change the way things work it makes. [TS]
00:04:38 ◼ ► but a lot of people have emailed them to eat at me since that show to say they were intrigued by my. [TS]
00:04:54 ◼ ► People sent in e-mails and tweets saying they wanted to try but what I felt like telling them is. [TS]
00:05:01 ◼ ► but here is the setting that I have had on my mac since the dawn of a tent you probably don't have [TS]
00:05:16 ◼ ► I'm assuming people wanted perhaps like an exposé screen shot so they could see the eleven gives Illian windows that [TS]
00:05:23 ◼ ► I don't want to necessarily formally request that because you would probably have to obscure a bunch of things [TS]
00:05:30 ◼ ► but should you decide that you would like to share that I'm sure the world at large would love to see it. [TS]
00:05:37 ◼ ► but I can't I mean I can't explain shots of my screen because all my stuff is on my screen I don't want to go through [TS]
00:05:41 ◼ ► blanket all the windows and in the end it just looks like a bunch of windows. Like there's nothing to see. [TS]
00:05:46 ◼ ► To you'd maybe write to you and that's all looks like then it's like. Why don't you set a vid. [TS]
00:05:53 ◼ ► You'd be seeing all my stuff I don't show you all my stuff all my email my pads that I have a mess of like that. [TS]
00:06:09 ◼ ► but also through email that's not to the listening is been overwhelmingly positive in terms of people saying yes that's [TS]
00:06:16 ◼ ► exactly how I work all the old mac users and in those emails yes. Yes you're right that's how I work too. [TS]
00:06:24 ◼ ► but it sounds interesting to me very little negativity about it which is surprising is there how negative you to where [TS]
00:06:37 ◼ ► One thousand or something like that that was astronomical. Like a that I might as well have said ten thousand. [TS]
00:06:47 ◼ ► and I thought maybe I'm crazy maybe not you wonder there's a lot of that everyone's like you kidding me. [TS]
00:06:56 ◼ ► but you keep for windows open perhaps it's like Anyway I don't want to rehash the entire thing that it's probably [TS]
00:07:07 ◼ ► but I have been very surprised it is been overwhelmingly essentially on my side well. [TS]
00:07:12 ◼ ► Whether you know decisively on my side like yes exactly how I do things and it's the one way you do things [TS]
00:07:20 ◼ ► OK so the feedback I've seen the feedback I've seen there has certainly been some and. [TS]
00:07:25 ◼ ► I shouldn't even say some a pretty decent amount of people saying. Yes that's exactly what I do. [TS]
00:07:36 ◼ ► But most the overwhelming majority feedback that I saw was my goodness that was hysterical. [TS]
00:07:48 ◼ ► but you can't categorize that because most of that was just like Hey I enjoy watching the parking lot was like great [TS]
00:07:52 ◼ ► But it's not like they're not taking a side or position around that thing on the substance of it [TS]
00:07:57 ◼ ► but I don't categorize that what I did was I favored it as as a form of tracking all the ones that were all the tweets [TS]
00:08:08 ◼ ► I don't know if you can do this and to Twitter but scroll back to like the the week following the show [TS]
00:08:12 ◼ ► and just look at the huge amount of favorites that are in there. And I favor the ones that are against as well and. [TS]
00:08:21 ◼ ► and the email to feed off from has also on the email directly to me was basically a hundred percent. [TS]
00:08:27 ◼ ► That people thought it was not created have one thousand windows open and by the way I will add [TS]
00:08:34 ◼ ► But I'm not closing windows as I think I said on the show as I think I'd actually did a real time on the show. [TS]
00:08:40 ◼ ► We're going through like up like encloses wonder now because I'm done researching like the date that these things are [TS]
00:08:44 ◼ ► released or whatever the windows closed when I'm done with them so I'm keeping them around. Like for the hell of it. [TS]
00:08:50 ◼ ► and so for example I have to Safari windows open that why do I have to Safari one is open to the been off for like a [TS]
00:08:58 ◼ ► And the only support windows open I have never in our stats windows that are sort of things that I'm currently [TS]
00:09:05 ◼ ► and I'm not currently monitoring them are like I'm still looking at the stats on my tender view just to see. [TS]
00:09:10 ◼ ► As it slowly. Tails off in the long tail. How it's doing it anyway. And chrome windows. [TS]
00:09:22 ◼ ► Using as a sort of like the Marlin manual here in boxes a To Do List which is a bad idea using Safari windows has the [TS]
00:09:45 ◼ ► All those the other before we get off the top to go here just me thinks a sick. River did a post some time. [TS]
00:09:52 ◼ ► Since October to remind him to read his article in the family got around to it of any post a little linguist. [TS]
00:09:58 ◼ ► And everyone jumped on him and said You're using a circular winter technique to because he essentially had this window. [TS]
00:10:04 ◼ ► How did the Windows thing open a tab like I'll get around to it some day and he did. [TS]
00:10:08 ◼ ► And I bet any read it and he posted it nobody close that window. It's either I can't I can't I can't do it. [TS]
00:10:18 ◼ ► So instead of move on to another piece of follow up unless Marco you have something to add. Nope. All right. [TS]
00:10:33 ◼ ► On a site like a solicitor com that all it does is display content. And then many people wrote in with what. [TS]
00:10:41 ◼ ► In retrospect was a reasonably obvious answer that I certainly didn't think of which is your. You could use S.S.L. [TS]
00:10:49 ◼ ► To prevent injections. So say you're on an airplane and you're using one of the airplane wife I set ups. [TS]
00:11:02 ◼ ► There's no reason they couldn't whereas if I was running up to sell there's nothing they could do to intercept that [TS]
00:11:08 ◼ ► There's also a bunch of like tinfoil hat conspiracy theories that go along with that [TS]
00:11:12 ◼ ► but the most obvious one that I saw are the most reasonable one I saw was preventing like an injection [TS]
00:11:22 ◼ ► With even something that's brochure where so to speak like my site is. Yeah what's even worse. [TS]
00:11:32 ◼ ► or like actually it's into the pages themselves so it isn't just if you're on a plane occasionally you might just be [TS]
00:11:39 ◼ ► like if you're any team here prizing customer like that we've seen. Certain things I don't. [TS]
00:11:48 ◼ ► or testing were like trying certain things a certain wireless carriers like injecting ad tracking code into every [TS]
00:11:54 ◼ ► H.T.M.L. Pages viewed over the over their data networks and that's really really horrible on so many levels and this. [TS]
00:12:00 ◼ ► So this could also help defend against that. That's not to like people send a screenshot that I didn't. [TS]
00:12:06 ◼ ► I didn't over the don't travel a lot of that like that airline why five like when you're on the plane [TS]
00:12:10 ◼ ► but you know Southwest banner over every single page that you're on like this is not this is not speculative this is [TS]
00:12:16 ◼ ► apparently a thing that happens and not unlike a senior kind of like Arisan secretly putting an H.T.T.P. Header. [TS]
00:12:22 ◼ ► or something as in a giant banner for like in case you didn't realize that you're on a Southwest flight right now. [TS]
00:12:33 ◼ ► You know and can see the traffic or man in the middle you again with lots of unpatched. [TS]
00:12:43 ◼ ► but I can tell you that in the corporate world it is not uncommon for corporations to either. [TS]
00:12:53 ◼ ► or try to do it until the employees revolt depending on what kind of company you're in to basically man in the middle. [TS]
00:12:58 ◼ ► Every single employee of the company by putting in an S.S.L. Proxy making every computer in the company. [TS]
00:13:05 ◼ ► Trust the certificate. And they're basically and then the middling all your S.S.L. [TS]
00:13:11 ◼ ► Unless you're not unless you're OK with the ID department at your work knowing all of your passwords [TS]
00:13:31 ◼ ► and you hate new things again can you tell us about that we are sponsored this week by Harry's go to Harry's dot com [TS]
00:13:42 ◼ ► The holidays are over and here's the chance to start fresh and start making smarter decisions. [TS]
00:13:46 ◼ ► Overpaying for drugstore razorblades a bad habit you should definitely behind this year. [TS]
00:13:51 ◼ ► Harry's offers high quality razors and bleeds for a fraction of the price of the big raise or brands. [TS]
00:13:57 ◼ ► Here's a started by two guys who wanted a better product without paying an arm and a leg. [TS]
00:14:04 ◼ ► They make their own blades from their own factory an old blade factory in Germany that they liked so much that they [TS]
00:14:08 ◼ ► bought it. These are high quality high performing German blades crafted by shaving experts. [TS]
00:14:21 ◼ ► Harry's play there about half the price of things like you know if Gillette Fusion is of like that. [TS]
00:14:26 ◼ ► Plus you don't have to wait around for the guy to come to life the anti shoplifting case of the drug store to buy them [TS]
00:14:32 ◼ ► They ship them directly to your door and shipping is free for any order above ten bucks. [TS]
00:14:41 ◼ ► You get a razor moisturizing shave cream or jail your choice. And three razor blades. When you need more blades. [TS]
00:14:48 ◼ ► They're just two dollars or less. Each and for example. An eight pack is fifteen bucks. [TS]
00:14:53 ◼ ► A sixteen package is twenty five bucks. So I think it was like a dollar fifty each some like that. [TS]
00:15:05 ◼ ► The best price I see today on Amazon for those fusions is a twelve pack for about forty bucks. [TS]
00:15:16 ◼ ► I'm very impressed by the quality they cheat here and they. The economy just can't be beat. [TS]
00:15:21 ◼ ► They have great packaging they have nice heavy handle that the handles are all like fancy nice metal stuff. [TS]
00:15:31 ◼ ► Look like they're from those droid commercial remember those I think I already made that joke [TS]
00:15:35 ◼ ► but they you know they're like all that covered in like blue accents and like rubber and plastic [TS]
00:15:43 ◼ ► and Harry's blades are just classy they're these nice classy handles nice you know way to medals that just so much it's [TS]
00:15:51 ◼ ► when Harry is you get to give me an ease of ordering online you get these high quality blades a great handle [TS]
00:15:55 ◼ ► and shaving cream an excellent customer service at half the price of the big brands. [TS]
00:16:07 ◼ ► Go to Harry's dot com and then you can also use promo code A.T.P. To save five dollars off your first purchase. [TS]
00:16:13 ◼ ► Really this is a fantastic deal go to Harry's dot com. A R R Y S dot com. Use promo code A.T.P. [TS]
00:16:20 ◼ ► For five bucks off the first purchase Thanks a lot there is so Marco tell us about why you hate new things again. [TS]
00:16:25 ◼ ► Other than that being your natural state. So last week I discussed that I had tried a new programming language sort of. [TS]
00:16:34 ◼ ► I had written. Beginnings of a feed crawler for to replace overcast P.H.P. Feed crawler to augment it. [TS]
00:16:46 ◼ ► You know enough javascript to get by so it wasn't entirely learning a new language. [TS]
00:16:50 ◼ ► But it was at least in a new context using a new platform and stuff like that and for some certainly using javascript. [TS]
00:17:05 ◼ ► The problem I was trying to solve a mention last week so I won't go through it too far into it is that overcast feed [TS]
00:17:10 ◼ ► crawlers basically have to pull. About two hundred fifty thousand feeds now. And I like to pull them no. [TS]
00:17:19 ◼ ► No less than once an hour. Each. And the ones are popular and to pull over a few minutes. So we're talking about. [TS]
00:17:25 ◼ ► Probably I don't know a million feeds an hour. Something like that or more than that me maybe. [TS]
00:17:30 ◼ ► So it's a good number of like feed fetches per hour. And right now. I use two hundred forty P.H.P. [TS]
00:17:38 ◼ ► Processes that are crawling think they're pulling things off of the stalk you it takes tons of C.P.U. [TS]
00:17:45 ◼ ► and it's you know this is I was not made for this word like the node event loop kind of model is way better suited for [TS]
00:17:56 ◼ ► and then you know keep on doing some work on them like it's. It's way better for that so much better suited for that. [TS]
00:18:06 ◼ ► and I just can't get it to work properly I I have the crawler functioning perfectly fine. [TS]
00:18:19 ◼ ► And that's the one that I've been able to solve all the performance problems all the weird. [TS]
00:18:23 ◼ ► You know little edge cases all of the weird exceptions thrown from odd places that I can't quite figure out a couple [TS]
00:18:34 ◼ ► So well you know I could just like post a script on line and ask people Hey victim really for me [TS]
00:18:46 ◼ ► and what I what I found you know last week I mentioned how I didn't foresee myself rewriting the whole back and [TS]
00:18:52 ◼ ► or wanted to make a whole web app inode. Just because of like the nature of Web Apps. [TS]
00:18:58 ◼ ► You know makes couple more in the new put things together like doing all that in a pure asynchronous for a framework is [TS]
00:19:06 ◼ ► Clumsy and it leads to all sorts of spaghetti code and callback hell and everything like that and so I [TS]
00:19:13 ◼ ► I really don't respect it as a language I really don't like it's crazy object system. [TS]
00:19:21 ◼ ► This is a little early for me to judge a whole language like this but it certainly seems like node and Javascript.. [TS]
00:19:38 ◼ ► And I don't have a lot of faith in this combo for the future of my programming. Needs and career. So instead. [TS]
00:19:49 ◼ ► Tonight I started trying go. And I want to see how that goes I have literally have. [TS]
00:19:54 ◼ ► and so far haven't a chance to anymore so maybe ask me next week how that's going but. [TS]
00:19:59 ◼ ► And the reason I'm picking go right now to try next. It seems like the kind of thing that I would enjoy. [TS]
00:20:10 ◼ ► I mean obviously the language actually weird to make a dozen You see thousand texture everything and you know it's. [TS]
00:20:14 ◼ ► This is the first non-SI syntax languages. I thought I'm learning in a very very long time. [TS]
00:20:23 ◼ ► And looking around the landscape today I think that would still be a reasonable choice [TS]
00:20:42 ◼ ► and the way I do it is I prefer to like really deeply master of a very small number of them rather than try a whole [TS]
00:20:48 ◼ ► bunch of them and have some familiarity with all them. Because of that I'm afraid that Python will fall out of favor. [TS]
00:20:58 ◼ ► Then you know compared something like go or node or roster or any of these newer languages. [TS]
00:21:04 ◼ ► I could go that route and I might still get it right I don't know. We will see where this experiment and. [TS]
00:21:11 ◼ ► You know making this thing that has to crawl a whole bunch of feeds in parallel and then. [TS]
00:21:16 ◼ ► and then write stuff into some kind of queue to hand it off to the rest of the app to do the rest of the processing. [TS]
00:21:21 ◼ ► I'm getting a pretty good feel like I think this might be a good task to try. In three or four different languages. [TS]
00:21:31 ◼ ► You know what languages like to use on this kind of scale and how appropriate is it for this kind of task. [TS]
00:21:36 ◼ ► Right now my try this and go I don't know if it's going to last longer use for this task. I hope it is. I like the way. [TS]
00:21:43 ◼ ► Go. Keeps the language itself seemingly fairly simple. It doesn't have to like generics. [TS]
00:21:49 ◼ ► And a whole bunch of like new things like that that like all these like metaprogramming type features it doesn't seem [TS]
00:21:56 ◼ ► I really prefer a language that can fit in my head and a language that is easy to as easy to read. As it is to write. [TS]
00:22:05 ◼ ► And it seems like a lot of the new languages these are throwing that balance a little more towards the directions of [TS]
00:22:11 ◼ ► they're making it they're making all these like really really crazy little features little exceptions little communes [TS]
00:22:16 ◼ ► is to make the code look really cool when you're writing it or or to make it make really good conference wides [TS]
00:22:23 ◼ ► Hello world example really look at look at it look at what you can do in these two lines of code [TS]
00:22:28 ◼ ► and it's all really dense and concise and do those cool things that I'm struck to weigh what's actually happening. [TS]
00:22:33 ◼ ► You know Globe scenes. And I don't like that style because it makes it very hard to both learn and maintain. [TS]
00:22:40 ◼ ► That's not that's not a style that's abstraction that's programming then why not just [TS]
00:22:52 ◼ ► I kind of understand what you're getting at in terms of constructs that may look unfamiliar [TS]
00:22:57 ◼ ► but it's not like it's not a choice of styles like rain technique and drunken monkey deck make it's like. [TS]
00:23:07 ◼ ► Ways to express more with with less typing and the general argument in favor of that is history has more [TS]
00:23:15 ◼ ► or less shown that the number of bugs per line of code written. Doesn't change too much. [TS]
00:23:20 ◼ ► So the only way to get your bugs is to reduce the number of lines of code you need to write to solve a given problem [TS]
00:23:27 ◼ ► obviously you can go to extremes there where your compressing things down to the point where it's not understandable [TS]
00:23:35 ◼ ► So it is not a good example of that I don't think anything in the language makes it like this one line is [TS]
00:23:41 ◼ ► incomprehensible I think the problem there is a swifter more like the problem areas of C. [TS]
00:23:44 ◼ ► Plus plus but like templates generics and operator overloading giving you the ability to make incomprehensible. [TS]
00:23:52 ◼ ► Mumbo jumbo but that's the opposite that's where there's more typing not less like when you [TS]
00:24:04 ◼ ► and that's why you have problems problems figure with else going on because you've got to parse a million tokens to [TS]
00:24:10 ◼ ► Not letting you do that type of thing you're never going to see the crazy prototype like that here and you know [TS]
00:24:24 ◼ ► and that's something that you know for example Javascript has that going for it not. [TS]
00:24:28 ◼ ► There's not much you can type in javascript that is too complicated to look at where you won't even understand [TS]
00:24:33 ◼ ► programmer intent you may be surprised by what it actually does because of weirdness but you will get the intent. [TS]
00:24:41 ◼ ► Plus plus and swift and a lot of other languages sometimes you can hear what the intent is that without sort of. [TS]
00:24:46 ◼ ► You know parsing it like seeing yourself in your head to figure out what does exactly it will and also like. I'll It's. [TS]
00:24:56 ◼ ► and be able to roughly tell what it does without having to jump around too much other code. [TS]
00:25:04 ◼ ► You know like a lot of these new language features that a lot that a lot of the more crazy dynamic languages. Offer. [TS]
00:25:11 ◼ ► There are a lot like C. Macros. Where it's like you could. You could define your own. [TS]
00:25:18 ◼ ► You could define like your own metalanguage on top of this language for your own code. And so if. [TS]
00:25:26 ◼ ► Or you reading code you wrote a year ago in this language when you're being a little too clever. [TS]
00:25:32 ◼ ► or what cause a certain behavior seeing that's one the reasons I don't like rails. [TS]
00:25:36 ◼ ► And one of the reasons I avoid back forever ago. Why David and I decided to write tumblr in P.H.P. Instead of rails. [TS]
00:25:42 ◼ ► Was the Had a lot of that like like the mix and like a lot of the like behavior caused by things that are hard to find. [TS]
00:25:58 ◼ ► but generally I don't like having all that magic that's hard to find it hard to follow when you're reading the code [TS]
00:26:05 ◼ ► or when you debugging the code. That's why I like Lang languages like C. and Like Objective C. [TS]
00:26:16 ◼ ► and say it's macros macros make that a nightmare it looking at someone the I mean to give a great example try looking [TS]
00:26:22 ◼ ► at the Perl source code not like you know perl code but the C. Program that is the Perl compiler. Futebol. [TS]
00:26:30 ◼ ► It is so filled with macros. It is almost nonsensical and macro people don't like macros for it with good reason. [TS]
00:26:36 ◼ ► But if you take macros and take away all of the evil. Sort of text processing. Crap about them. [TS]
00:26:45 ◼ ► when you said if you look at a program it looks like you know some metaprogramming can't figure out. [TS]
00:26:49 ◼ ► That's why people love lists that you're centrally define a language to solve your specific problem [TS]
00:26:53 ◼ ► and then use that language. To to write your program and. And so the whole idea of Lisp is that you will. [TS]
00:27:00 ◼ ► There is no sin taxes speak of as just you know. Fingernail clippings all the way down. [TS]
00:27:09 ◼ ► And if someone else has a look at that yes they would have to say I don't know this does not I mean that's that's true [TS]
00:27:13 ◼ ► Vulcan any program it's kind of weird to hear you say that because you're working with like vast libraries of millions [TS]
00:27:18 ◼ ► of lines of code that you A didn't write and B. Usually don't even have access to the source code to. [TS]
00:27:23 ◼ ► And that's the majority of the code in your program. I get over getting out of and. The problem I have is that. [TS]
00:27:28 ◼ ► Marco All I'm hearing you say is I want to remain a C. Program or for life. And that's OK. [TS]
00:27:34 ◼ ► If that's what you want to do. But like you grumbling about generics which I know is just like an off the cuff example. [TS]
00:27:42 ◼ ► But you grumbling about generics is is nails on a chalkboard to me because I love generics Now a lot of generics. I do. [TS]
00:28:00 ◼ ► when everything was extremely strongly typed type inference wasn't a thing. And you had to cast. [TS]
00:28:13 ◼ ► And to me generics are being extremely deliberates about what you're trying to accomplish. And. [TS]
00:28:26 ◼ ► You don't feel like all the codes where you expected to be in have to jump around in different files to find it all. [TS]
00:28:32 ◼ ► All I'm hearing you say is I want to be a procedural C. Programmer for the rest of my life. And that's OK. [TS]
00:28:41 ◼ ► I hope that's not what you're what you mean even if that's what I'm hearing you say. [TS]
00:28:45 ◼ ► No I mean that isn't what I mean however. You know like the languages I know I've either. Either they work this way or. [TS]
00:28:54 ◼ ► My goal is ease of ease of reading the code and simplicity of keeping things small reducing cleverness. [TS]
00:29:02 ◼ ► I am not a very clever programmer. I program things in pretty straightforward way is usually. [TS]
00:29:14 ◼ ► It makes things look cool up front but it makes that really hard to use over time or with a team or with [TS]
00:29:20 ◼ ► when maintaining code and. It's Or when using third party code. It gets very very difficult. [TS]
00:29:26 ◼ ► I feel like a lot of this is complexity for its own sake. Or solving the wrong problems. [TS]
00:29:31 ◼ ► Well but your problem here is not a language problem. It's kind of a library problem. [TS]
00:29:36 ◼ ► And it's mostly an implementation problem because like you have all the fun problems solved. [TS]
00:29:47 ◼ ► and can it handle because you're doing things in a fairly large scale and. You've got something that works. [TS]
00:29:56 ◼ ► and it's not particularly efficient as you saw we need to the node implementation it could be more efficient than the [TS]
00:30:04 ◼ ► So like yours what you're looking for is something that will work with fewer with less like an S. [TS]
00:30:13 ◼ ► Did and so I think go is a reasonable thing to be looking at it as I said on Twitter and I wasn't actually joking like. [TS]
00:30:23 ◼ ► Tons of event to libraries you could do that use the. And even wrap around the Evie. Libby via library. [TS]
00:30:30 ◼ ► I think it would be fairly straightforward and so would you would your pearls Lucian. [TS]
00:30:41 ◼ ► and see what it have fewer bugs in the node one probably because that library that C. Band module. [TS]
00:30:47 ◼ ► Are all way more mature than the notable nation of it. But go would definitely be faster. [TS]
00:30:55 ◼ ► Am I going to use an existing event library am I going to sort of write my own event library because once you sort of [TS]
00:31:05 ◼ ► or something like that then that's a media the worse it doesn't matter how good languages like no don't. Don't use. [TS]
00:31:14 ◼ ► You know directly with system calls into it like someone did that already what you just want to language that exposes. [TS]
00:31:20 ◼ ► One of these mature libraries there works really well in a way that's not buggy it doesn't leak memory that's fairly [TS]
00:31:25 ◼ ► and so I would obvious a drive pro for us because I know there's a bunch of event library wrappers in fact there's a [TS]
00:31:34 ◼ ► And so you could go through like let me try seven different libraries with the same program [TS]
00:31:38 ◼ ► and if they all suck you like well that didn't work you know I haven't done a vent [TS]
00:31:43 ◼ ► or been programming apparel anything more than like a trivial thing so I can't tell you whether it will actually work [TS]
00:31:54 ◼ ► and then you can just write against that one and see what your He's also talked about. [TS]
00:32:01 ◼ ► But I've also heard that live event is not the best event library if you're looking to do that so with alarm work it [TS]
00:32:06 ◼ ► was just saying that he wrote it I'm Jack of zero. Wrap around Libby v to do something similar. Yeah. [TS]
00:32:14 ◼ ► Is there the language has something like this built in his company to mention Erling [TS]
00:32:18 ◼ ► or whatever like has some sort of parallelization event the type of take making efficient use of C.P.U. [TS]
00:32:29 ◼ ► or has a really good stable wrap around one of the other low level libraries the does this for you. [TS]
00:32:34 ◼ ► Yeah well I mean and. It should be you know. In case the implication here was not clear. [TS]
00:32:40 ◼ ► I'm not just looking first listen to this one problem. I'm also looking for a long term replacement to P.H.P. [TS]
00:32:48 ◼ ► but that's I don't think this is a great example for that because it is so you find something that does really good job [TS]
00:32:55 ◼ ► in this it still doesn't say OK now I'm going to write all of the all the stuff used to write in P.H.P. [TS]
00:33:00 ◼ ► but I go could be an appropriate choice for this provided you get the event stuff. [TS]
00:33:05 ◼ ► Now then and the same token Where you to get a handy little solution of this. In Perl. [TS]
00:33:12 ◼ ► or something doesn't mean you would say OK now I'm going to rewrite all the speech religion Perl because that would. [TS]
00:33:19 ◼ ► You're probably not well in addition to Pearl having many of many of the same problems that I just cited with P.H.P. [TS]
00:33:33 ◼ ► or you're like look I want to solve this problem without using two hundred forty P.H.P. [TS]
00:33:38 ◼ ► and you lot of resources like an economics like a single purpose probably I have a problem. [TS]
00:33:51 ◼ ► And the reason you will do the things I do the reason I'm able as one person to run a web service. [TS]
00:33:57 ◼ ► With a few hundred thousand users and I.I.S. App and be able to keep up with them. Semi OK. [TS]
00:34:07 ◼ ► You know experiment in with new languages a new systems and making things just for fun. Most of what I do is to serve. [TS]
00:34:17 ◼ ► Trying to learn a bunch new languages to try to pick the best one for just this one task. [TS]
00:34:32 ◼ ► I look I could keep using it for a long time it's going to be around for a long time [TS]
00:34:39 ◼ ► And I recognize that as I said last episode I really don't have a lot of faith in the quality of the direction it's [TS]
00:34:52 ◼ ► I actually heard from Russell Ivana fiction and one of after you say last name I try to remember and try to learn [TS]
00:35:00 ◼ ► He's one of the guys in shifty jelly one of my competitors in the pod cast as based in the pocket cast and. [TS]
00:35:09 ◼ ► What sounded like a pretty impressive number with a pretty impressively low amount of hardware. [TS]
00:35:16 ◼ ► Anything about jobs in the modern day to lessen my use Java was in Computer Science want to one. [TS]
00:35:22 ◼ ► Back in two thousand and one. Maybe people told me that I should be looking at C. Sharp for this. [TS]
00:35:33 ◼ ► I don't know if Casey what if you were faced with this problem. What would you do. [TS]
00:36:01 ◼ ► Is that while the sun timeout is eventually leading to memory leaks is that a fair statement. [TS]
00:36:07 ◼ ► It's like every every set Timeout is for some reason it seems to be that it's capturing the scope of its calling. [TS]
00:36:21 ◼ ► It's like I don't see why it needs to retain anything that's at in the calling scope. [TS]
00:36:25 ◼ ► But for some reason it isn't if you search around for for nodes that timeout or set. Interval. Memory leaks. [TS]
00:36:33 ◼ ► You see a bunch of other people having problems like this and some of the. Some of the fixes look like bugs. [TS]
00:36:41 ◼ ► If you do if you just call set timeout then you'll get a leak but if you assign to a variable save our T. [TS]
00:36:46 ◼ ► Equal set Timeout. Then the doesn't leak. There's a bunch of weird stuff going on with the way this captures things. [TS]
00:36:53 ◼ ► Either it's a bug or it doesn't make any sense or both. Either way. That is a big problem for me. [TS]
00:36:59 ◼ ► I don't want to have to keep fighting issues like that in a language I'm going to invest much time into Also again what [TS]
00:37:04 ◼ ► I said before is like idling javascript. And I I don't. I don't foresee this dealing. [TS]
00:37:11 ◼ ► My long term replacement for P.H.P. So I feel like I'm kind of wasting time doing a whole bunch in it. Yeah. [TS]
00:37:19 ◼ ► If the only issue you're having with no doubt boils down to just tickling that node process [TS]
00:37:25 ◼ ► and getting it to do its thing. Then. Couldn't you fire that from P.H.P. and Have no do the crawling. [TS]
00:37:36 ◼ ► Am I doing this wrong or like a descent timeout like just not work without leaking memory and. [TS]
00:37:41 ◼ ► I got a few I got a bunch of responses from node programmers. None of them use it all of them trigger. [TS]
00:37:57 ◼ ► or they use things like there's something called I think node chrono something like that [TS]
00:38:00 ◼ ► and I believe you look at the source. It's using set Timeout internally. Like that it's basically the only option. [TS]
00:38:06 ◼ ► All I need to do is. I need to crawl. For all these feeds each of them has a T.T.L. That I calculate. I calculate. [TS]
00:38:14 ◼ ► When the next one should run. And I say call me again. With this ID in this many seconds. [TS]
00:38:20 ◼ ► That's it that's all I have to do. So they shouldn't be nesting. They're not stacking up. [TS]
00:38:26 ◼ ► I verified that like there it's not like it's not like they're there like not being cleared. [TS]
00:38:36 ◼ ► It's just something about the memory capture but again this. That that's honestly like I'm sure. [TS]
00:38:41 ◼ ► I'm sure a note expert could could look at this and possibly fix it I it's more that. [TS]
00:38:45 ◼ ► I don't want to keep investing in a language that is clashing with me on such a fundamental level. And that. [TS]
00:38:51 ◼ ► I don't feel certain my long term goals. Yeah and I really want to defend node. Because I have not done. [TS]
00:38:59 ◼ ► Overwhelming amount of node programming but the programming I've done in node I really like. [TS]
00:39:04 ◼ ► I want to defend javascript because although it is full of landmines and pitfalls and bottomless pits. [TS]
00:39:16 ◼ ► But if I were in your shoes I'd probably be coming to a similar a similar conclusion [TS]
00:39:21 ◼ ► and it certainly sounds to be a pragmatic conclusion. Regardless. To go back and answer question what about like C. [TS]
00:39:28 ◼ ► Sharp. Well that's that's challenging because the. The right way to do it if you're going to do it in C. [TS]
00:39:42 ◼ ► It Right and you have no interest in that and honestly if I were in your shoes. I wouldn't have any interest in that. [TS]
00:39:49 ◼ ► when I was doing for fun programming in my own time that I was going to have to pay for what I did I used C. [TS]
00:39:56 ◼ ► Sharpen a speed on it. Hell no I didn't because I didn't want to stand all that op ed enough Todd. [TS]
00:40:00 ◼ ► Didn't want to have to worry about all that. So we'll see sharp as a language actually I think would. [TS]
00:40:08 ◼ ► but the problem is you've got all the periphery to deal with that I don't think you would enjoy. [TS]
00:40:13 ◼ ► Now of course you could take the approach of well let me look into Zambia and flesh mano and. [TS]
00:40:18 ◼ ► That might work to be honest I'm now outside of my comfort zone because I work in the Microsoft stack so I don't really [TS]
00:40:25 ◼ ► know a lot about the Zamfara and mano. The way that would be deployed. But it's worth looking into I don't think C. [TS]
00:40:37 ◼ ► I don't know enough about go to be able to say yes that sounds like an excellent choice of something that has long term [TS]
00:40:42 ◼ ► viability. I think node is certainly very trendy right now in the same way that Python and Ruby have been in the past. [TS]
00:40:50 ◼ ► But to your point earlier are Python and Ruby going. To remain trendy. I don't know. And is no going to remain trendy. [TS]
00:40:59 ◼ ► I don't know. And although it seems a little weird to me to throw no doubt entirely because of set time Al. [TS]
00:41:06 ◼ ► I can also understand how that's the straw that's breaking the camel's back so if I were your shoes. [TS]
00:41:11 ◼ ► I honestly don't know what I would do I guess I would try to go and see how it works. [TS]
00:41:20 ◼ ► Understand entangling both of these things up with each other find a new language replace P.H.P. [TS]
00:41:26 ◼ ► And solving a specific problem is over complicating it think those are two things that you should do. [TS]
00:41:34 ◼ ► It's something to be nice if you're buying that I can understand it as I like Oh if I could get them you know two birds [TS]
00:41:38 ◼ ► with one stone. But the needs are so different I mean like on the one hand for example. [TS]
00:41:43 ◼ ► The best bet for a new language for you to learn that you're going to have two years later is probably at this point [TS]
00:41:48 ◼ ► swift and not because you're going to use your place peacekeeper because Apple's going to make you use it to you know. [TS]
00:41:54 ◼ ► Also but but because with does not open source there's nothing about so if they can go on the server yet. [TS]
00:42:04 ◼ ► Yeah I know you do you still need something to replace P.H.P. But yeah exactly good at like Swift. [TS]
00:42:09 ◼ ► But that aside you're probably gonna need to do that maybe look into it to see if it helps you here maybe does maybe [TS]
00:42:14 ◼ ► doesn't probably won't. Then you've got the problem of what do I need to replace P.H.P. [TS]
00:42:17 ◼ ► and Then you've got the problem of what do I do short term to make this crawler takes your resources. [TS]
00:42:22 ◼ ► Well I would also point out. I tweet share this last week on during during the break. [TS]
00:42:29 ◼ ► Last episode of core intuition was really good I'd look at the number open the show notes were day no jacket mention [TS]
00:42:42 ◼ ► How safe is it like to invest a whole lot of time in Swiss today. And they rightly pointed out like we do. [TS]
00:42:49 ◼ ► We don't actually switch is not a sure thing yet we it it is a thing that is out there that Apple has put out there. [TS]
00:42:54 ◼ ► But they've also put out things like garbage collection in Objective C. Things like the Java bridge back forever ago. [TS]
00:43:01 ◼ ► That ended up being axed. Only a few years down the road they just weren't working out. [TS]
00:43:08 ◼ ► and actually be the eventual replacement for just a C.S. All we know is that it seems like that's the goal right now. [TS]
00:43:18 ◼ ► Apple certainly in a better position now than they were in the other alternatives came around [TS]
00:43:21 ◼ ► but we'd like it is not a guarantee that Swift will be the next thing for just of C. Programmers like. [TS]
00:43:50 ◼ ► We'll deal with that whatever they do but it's better to think Swift is much stronger. Of A. [TS]
00:43:57 ◼ ► You just named all bunch in the job a bridge job or it was done from a position of weakness. [TS]
00:44:01 ◼ ► Because it was like maybe people on used these crazy square brackets that is of super weak position [TS]
00:44:07 ◼ ► Garbage collection was always kind of half heartedly pushed it was like we're making garbage collection [TS]
00:44:17 ◼ ► but then they couldn't even convince all Apple internal library people to use it for the library to make them garbage [TS]
00:44:22 ◼ ► like and say it was just it was never like the amount of publicity and the push behind [TS]
00:44:35 ◼ ► Proven that they can get things done with an Apple having changed their whole compiler infrastructure over several [TS]
00:44:40 ◼ ► years and it was in a keynote. But you know it was also in the keynote. We're going to the standards bodies. [TS]
00:44:48 ◼ ► And we're going to make Face Time and open industries didn't have enough Did Steve Jobs than random things. [TS]
00:45:03 ◼ ► Major technology based things I would say this is even stronger than like by the way you should build your with an [TS]
00:45:13 ◼ ► Than project building is it took them a while to get in fact I think it basically took them until they had the X. [TS]
00:45:22 ◼ ► You know we're telling you like we're completely taking over the compiler infrastructure which they were from the [TS]
00:45:26 ◼ ► beginning anyway but they were kind of timid about you know especially coming off the whole a cold warrior thing [TS]
00:45:31 ◼ ► and everything. My recollection anyway is that they were X. Turnley not shoving it in your face that.. [TS]
00:45:37 ◼ ► By the way if you're going to develop applications for our platform you're going to use our I.T. And our compilers. [TS]
00:45:43 ◼ ► Because they were in transition period there and eventually said no you're going to use our stuff [TS]
00:45:49 ◼ ► and you're going to deal with that Swift was very bold and very strongly backed and you know. [TS]
00:45:55 ◼ ► I would say that the thing should be wary about using it now is they've said they're going to just constantly break the [TS]
00:46:01 ◼ ► syntax and they could all be so all those weird things. Having to do with source code compatibility. [TS]
00:46:06 ◼ ► Well and the tools are very amateur right now in the performance of the compiler sucks all the heavy stuff [TS]
00:46:13 ◼ ► This is just so much stronger than the other things you've listed so even though those things have happened in the past [TS]
00:46:19 ◼ ► The problem a swift is the opportunity cost of not doing it seems much higher like you could sort of say All right well. [TS]
00:46:29 ◼ ► and the garbage collection is like well wait to see what haven't you can do it was swift to let me say wait to see what [TS]
00:46:34 ◼ ► Apple actually in one sense but. But even if there is Apple and book like it's first. [TS]
00:46:48 ◼ ► To be sure but I I think the degree of confidence in swift being a thing whether it's good [TS]
00:46:57 ◼ ► Yeah and plus I don't know Apple's history with like Metro works cold warrior and stuff like that I. [TS]
00:47:04 ◼ ► but certainly it seems like a lot of the moves they've been making over the last five to ten years probably five ish [TS]
00:47:11 ◼ ► years have been to set the things in motion to get swift to be a thing you know to to get to work on L V M to work on [TS]
00:47:19 ◼ ► claiming to work on all of these things that make up the swift toolchain do it seems like a very deliberate multi-year [TS]
00:47:39 ◼ ► Just say OK well back to object Recy retreat to safety. They need as I've said many times the need something. [TS]
00:47:53 ◼ ► and advance again in a couple years in the future I think they're already behind and they need something like swift [TS]
00:47:57 ◼ ► and it's not swift. This will be a huge mistake for them because they will have wasted years and tons of resources. [TS]
00:48:02 ◼ ► Attending this with transition and if it fails it's like. What do we do now. The shop I guess I don't know. [TS]
00:48:12 ◼ ► Member fracture they print photos directly on glass in vivid color. Go to fracture Me dot com F R E C T U R E Z. [TS]
00:48:25 ◼ ► They're awesome prints I like them a lot of people have come from of them whenever they've seen them. [TS]
00:48:34 ◼ ► And then you can hang them up directly you don't have to frame them like they are their own frame basically. [TS]
00:48:38 ◼ ► It's really really nice presents are just fifteen dollars for a five by five inch print and I use that size. [TS]
00:48:48 ◼ ► Or a little square Prince and I use them to print app icons of the apps I've done. So it's kind of this nice. [TS]
00:48:59 ◼ ► Because in our world the little get a lot of like physical recognition of things you make in software. [TS]
00:49:08 ◼ ► You can do that you can also print photos I have a couple photos printing them on the other wall over here. [TS]
00:49:13 ◼ ► I have like looks like it's probably an eleven by seventeen side. Tonight nice size. Anyway. [TS]
00:49:18 ◼ ► Every fracture is handmade check for quality with a small team in Gainesville Florida. It is the finished. [TS]
00:49:24 ◼ ► Lightest and most elegant way to display your favorite photo. I can attest to that also like the. [TS]
00:49:32 ◼ ► But the glass layer is actually very thin on the front and behind it is like a little bit of like. [TS]
00:49:38 ◼ ► So much like a foam board kind of things you could mount. You can like metal hangers something. [TS]
00:49:45 ◼ ► Like I could I was also afraid like how big I want to piece of glass hanging on my wall. [TS]
00:49:50 ◼ ► But it's nice it's a very nice weight balance it does not seem crazy to hang it on your wall [TS]
00:49:55 ◼ ► and they also have desk stand it's really great. Anyway. You can get twenty percent off your first order from fracture. [TS]
00:50:05 ◼ ► and that'll make them sponsors more in the future so please do that there fracture Me dot com and use Capone code A.T.P. [TS]
00:50:12 ◼ ► For twenty percent off. These are great everything is in the box. Great quality I can't recommend enough. [TS]
00:50:28 ◼ ► and mean heck maybe twenty fifteen will be the year of me learning too many privileges or just switching to Java. [TS]
00:50:33 ◼ ► I don't know. I doubt it will be switching to Java but I'm with Probably not but if you know you never know. [TS]
00:50:39 ◼ ► There are enough. I would like to time permitting talked. Talk about your new i Pad But before we do that. [TS]
00:50:46 ◼ ► John lunch tell us about some survey that's been going on lately. I think that the survey. [TS]
00:50:55 ◼ ► but a lot of people got a survey from Apple asking them questions about the App Store [TS]
00:51:11 ◼ ► This is a question from Apple services which are the top three most effective marketing channels in driving down those [TS]
00:51:19 ◼ ► So that's going to how do you get people down without finance are tons of choices not just one. [TS]
00:51:24 ◼ ► And as literate are in this picture that shows the second choice unless the first choice is in app messaging [TS]
00:51:37 ◼ ► and down the drop the second choice is pushing notifications. And so it's great because you know I write is a trap. [TS]
00:51:48 ◼ ► And then you check push notifications everybody checks does not have a case and gets a little email from Apple [TS]

00:52:20 ◼ ► whether it's you know. Another situation where some department doesn't understand another department or. [TS]
00:52:26 ◼ ► It's maybe they just like one just be honest and just see how many people will check that as there as I don't know. [TS]
00:52:32 ◼ ► It confuses me greatly but markets you get the survey. I did and I honestly I don't even if that was in mine. [TS]
00:52:54 ◼ ► Maybe is the person who wrote that document which might have been Steve Jobs or isn't even there anymore. [TS]
00:52:59 ◼ ► I don't think I mean. The rule against push notification spam is is sadly. Such a joke that. [TS]
00:53:08 ◼ ► I wish it was and we will over this month as I wish it was enforced. I really do I think. [TS]
00:53:19 ◼ ► Because the App Store and I.O.U.'s is turning into such a spammy flea market of garbage. And it's. [TS]
00:53:28 ◼ ► This is this is completely the opposite of what I what I think Apple would would want to encourage him to tolerate. [TS]
00:53:35 ◼ ► But now your phone is full of ads. Because of this. Primarily because of his one rule being flagrantly ignored. [TS]
00:53:42 ◼ ► It is literally a way to push add to your phone. Whenever somebody feels like it with nope with no penalties. [TS]
00:53:48 ◼ ► How often do you get these sorts of ads. And I'm asking honestly because I get this. [TS]
00:53:54 ◼ ► Once a month maybe like I do not receive these that often now they infuriate me when I do get them [TS]
00:54:02 ◼ ► Well it doesn't happen that often to a lot of nerds like us because we usually either don't use the kind of apps that [TS]
00:54:11 ◼ ► That is not representative of the population at large if you see it we talked about before that if you see like normal [TS]
00:54:18 ◼ ► and have have have somebody have like you know a family member who uses And I was devise have them show you their [TS]
00:54:26 ◼ ► You'll see they are extremely common in your brand big brand that and games free to play games and you know it's. [TS]
00:54:38 ◼ ► So as being a common the survey here is the first survey about the apps or you've ever received Marco. Yes. [TS]
00:54:46 ◼ ► and so this seems from the outside looking in just seeing the stories about this that is this is like a response from [TS]
00:54:53 ◼ ► someone inside Apple to all of like the bad press that the App Store isn't getting lately with the current cycle of [TS]
00:55:04 ◼ ► You think it's just a it was I was going to ask like is it something we do every year. Know why now. [TS]
00:55:09 ◼ ► I think it's something that the that like the app store marketing team decided to do on their own basically I don't [TS]
00:55:14 ◼ ► think this has anything to do with the developer policies I don't think you know it's like we all posted on Twitter [TS]
00:55:21 ◼ ► like what we said in the final question which is like is there any other feedback you like to give Apple. [TS]
00:55:25 ◼ ► Of course you know all those developers unloaded on them with like well here's all the ways the app store sucks and. [TS]
00:55:31 ◼ ► I don't think this is going anywhere I don't I think this is going to a giant black hole [TS]
00:55:36 ◼ ► and I think the marketing team. And I see what's going to happen from the thing why send the survey. Now. [TS]
00:55:44 ◼ ► or is it because this is part of some like we're getting a lot of press so first thing we need to know is like where do [TS]
00:55:49 ◼ ► we stand is it just a bunch of cranky people ever let just gather information send out a big survey that it covers all [TS]
00:55:56 ◼ ► and see what we get back because just looking at a bunch of news stories a cranky developers don't tell you anything [TS]
00:56:04 ◼ ► And so they're just gathering information not like they're going to take this information and do anything with it [TS]
00:56:11 ◼ ► Let's see where we really are because I can imagine inside Apple the argument is and always is. [TS]
00:56:16 ◼ ► That's just a bunch of cranky people that's just a website that doesn't like us that's just someone going for page it's [TS]
00:56:21 ◼ ► not actually big deal we have hundreds of thousands of developers ninety nine point nine nine percent of them love us [TS]
00:56:26 ◼ ► and think we're awesome in the App Store is awesome and everything is great. This is I can imagine B.P. Saying. [TS]
00:56:30 ◼ ► And you just. We just have to manage the squeaky wheels with good P.R. and Stuff like that to realistically speaking. [TS]
00:56:36 ◼ ► Everybody loves us. Our developer SAT is awesome. And just like that's what that's what I tell it you know what I mean. [TS]
00:56:46 ◼ ► but I don't like reading stories so step one prove to me that's the case survey all the developers. [TS]
00:56:51 ◼ ► Well see what the several results say and if they say like ninety nine percent love us and one percent hate us. [TS]
00:56:56 ◼ ► Then you know I'll believe you but if not then we'll have further discussions. I would believe that might be the case. [TS]
00:57:08 ◼ ► It is pretty clear that this was written by marketing people. Not developer relations. You know. [TS]
00:57:18 ◼ ► I don't remember if I got it but I certainly saw the survey because we we have certainly seen. [TS]
00:57:24 ◼ ► Pretty much the entirety of the survey I thought was only two or three pages right. Nose long it was. [TS]
00:57:29 ◼ ► I probably twenty screamed the. Oh then maybe. I clearly have not seen it then but the pieces I saw just reeked of me. [TS]
00:57:40 ◼ ► and I agree with you Marco that this was marketing acting on its own just trying to figure out what to say to the world [TS]
00:57:45 ◼ ► was I don't think this is any big conspiracy or anything like that but concern about some [TS]
00:57:49 ◼ ► but I have some give me examples on the question for all the questions about the like how do you market your app yes. [TS]
00:57:54 ◼ ► And how can we help you market your app better basically basically yeah like it was. [TS]
00:57:59 ◼ ► It was not I mean I could be wrong but it really did seem like this was like some ab store marketing team. [TS]
00:58:09 ◼ ► and it was not a it didn't seem representative of the developer program as a whole of the App Store as a whole caring [TS]
00:58:14 ◼ ► what developers thought about the App Store and the like. It really did seem like it was. [TS]
00:58:20 ◼ ► and nothing more than that which is a survey about how you market your apps like that that really seemed like that was. [TS]
00:58:25 ◼ ► That was it was there anything in there about like find ability in the search and stuff like that very little. Now. [TS]
00:58:33 ◼ ► A lot of it gets overshadowed you're right by like the people posting the like the free response thing where you type [TS]
00:58:38 ◼ ► whatever you want. And ever and just dumping a pile of turns on the Apple store a step. And not the other questions. [TS]
00:58:47 ◼ ► Like I still question you know it's not like every individual department can decide to e-mail every single developer. [TS]
00:58:53 ◼ ► Whenever they feel like it or like a lot of enough developers that. You know it seem like. [TS]
00:59:10 ◼ ► but why would you give the OK for like I'm sure every department wants to do this I'm sure you know everyone would love [TS]
00:59:15 ◼ ► to marry my all developers and ask him questions about whatever they're there are things developer relations. [TS]
00:59:21 ◼ ► or the frameworks team has sent a how you like in this framework that we just made thought the survey [TS]
00:59:28 ◼ ► And you know Schiller's organization I guess got the go ahead to send a twenty page. [TS]
00:59:39 ◼ ► But it's also marketing right the entire developer relations division at Apple is under marketing which is under [TS]
00:59:47 ◼ ► But that's looking back I'm saying like of us if you said this is just marketing and not developer relations [TS]
00:59:52 ◼ ► but as long as the same department maybe the questions were just bad maybe you feel like the question should have been [TS]
01:00:04 ◼ ► That was there are questions about like how do you deal with the reviews on the SO I DON'T YOU should just post post [TS]
01:00:09 ◼ ► the full survey so we can all of the questions. Yeah I mean I go back I do not like. [TS]
01:00:15 ◼ ► I don't even check to see like what emails they are going to but maybe I'll go back and screenshot every page. [TS]
01:00:19 ◼ ► It's excessively boring. Like it's really it's extremely dull and it. It is really mostly a marketing survey. It. [TS]
01:00:28 ◼ ► I don't think the purpose of this was was what you're saying however there was something interesting. [TS]
01:00:35 ◼ ► I think posted a few days ago on December thirtieth to developer news feed here impatiently going to Chad here. [TS]
01:00:45 ◼ ► I was I was I was away on vacation so I didn't blog about it yet but which might be the pulpit. If you look at this. [TS]
01:00:53 ◼ ► This is a quick thing I'll just read it's pretty short the quick thing posted to the apple developer news feed. [TS]
01:00:58 ◼ ► Posted on December thirtieth. Titled getting help with at previous and rejections. So here's the entire text of it. [TS]
01:01:09 ◼ ► If you need to appeal an average action a request that they review your app be extradited. [TS]
01:01:13 ◼ ► The fastest way to get help us tickets to contact the app review team to the Contact Us form. [TS]
01:01:18 ◼ ► To us projection details and asked for clarification visit resolution center and i Tunes connect. [TS]
01:01:22 ◼ ► We look forward to seeing the innovative new app you'll create in two thousand and fifteen. [TS]
01:01:30 ◼ ► So this this this I think is much more interesting than the market. What do you think this angle is this. [TS]
01:01:40 ◼ ► and so I think this might be I mean obviously you have to read a lot to do leaves here. [TS]
01:01:54 ◼ ► and says the fastest way though it doesn't say it runs the press never helps anything [TS]
01:02:07 ◼ ► It reads more like a reminder to like their developers out there who don't know about the resolutions on their I don't [TS]
01:02:16 ◼ ► and maybe this is just me being optimistic about this kind of stuff. I think this. This might be the. [TS]
01:02:25 ◼ ► I think this might be like hey guys you know don't worry we're getting it under control I don't know maybe again maybe [TS]
01:02:37 ◼ ► This is them saying Alright alright alright everyone relax. Have rewon relax. Just let us know Wolf Ixia. It'll be OK. [TS]
01:02:48 ◼ ► But millions a frustrate me that Apple so institutionally crotchety maybe. I don't know. [TS]
01:02:59 ◼ ► We have seen that there's been some questionable choices on our part. We're going to fix it. Like. [TS]
01:03:08 ◼ ► Is being vulnerable really that bad I know it'll never happen by chance step one admit no wrongdoing. Yes. [TS]
01:03:16 ◼ ► I mean like that's not that's not apples Emma like they have admitted wrong to me for even [TS]
01:03:20 ◼ ► when they think they're wrong again and again everyone gets a free Bunbury even though as we think it's not a problem [TS]
01:03:25 ◼ ► but in general this specific part of Apple Apple of you does not admit wrongdoing in like the whole it you know lower [TS]
01:03:35 ◼ ► deck your app and then you make a big fuss about animal accept it and then like that that cycle happens. [TS]
01:03:40 ◼ ► And there's never a part where Apple comes out and you know sort of bears its soul and says we've thought about this [TS]
01:03:50 ◼ ► The admission of wrongdoing guess is OK now your app is back in the store but it's like. This isn't a systemic problem. [TS]
01:04:01 ◼ ► Is just one of those things that happens and oh well it got fixed and don't worry about it [TS]
01:04:06 ◼ ► and there's never any sort of public acknowledgement that this might be a thing and not just like well. [TS]
01:04:11 ◼ ► Those things just happen sometimes. And that's what frustrates people so much that. [TS]
01:04:15 ◼ ► That part of the our innovation is a so different than individual Apple employees which as we all know are human beings [TS]
01:04:24 ◼ ► The larger corporation in terms of when they make design mistakes or. When they have you know. [TS]
01:04:30 ◼ ► Large scale problems like the labor difficulties in China. A diversity within the organization things that Apple has. [TS]
01:04:36 ◼ ► You know fallen on its face about. And they come back and say we're not doing well I often diversity. [TS]
01:04:42 ◼ ► Where the Greenpeace yelled at them and I thought it was unfair and they got you know that [TS]
01:04:44 ◼ ► but you know we are going to make us stuff better before we were sent in our better labor practices we're going to try [TS]
01:04:49 ◼ ► to be more transparent there we're going to do you know. All of the situations where Apple did something wrong. [TS]
01:04:59 ◼ ► But there's never anything like that having to do with apps or of you at least not public. Know. [TS]
01:05:03 ◼ ► Well because again this is longer Schiller I mean if you think about the kind of public persona that Schiller shows me [TS]
01:05:09 ◼ ► I don't know any about the guy. You know non publicly but what he shows publicly. He is kind of like this you know. [TS]
01:05:21 ◼ ► Even in his presentation in the last few years. Is just me or does he just kind of seem angry. Like it's. It doesn't. [TS]
01:05:33 ◼ ► and knowing that he does have a lot of direct involvement in some of these decisions. [TS]
01:05:36 ◼ ► It's no wonder that the attitude we get is just a brick wall with with occasional terseness coming out and not really. [TS]
01:05:44 ◼ ► Openness or friendliness because that appears to be the public persona Phil Schiller shows. [TS]
01:05:54 ◼ ► and more of the sort of higher level entire corporation Apple stuff just of this is a corner of the corporation now so [TS]
01:05:59 ◼ ► the tire cooperation is diversity labor practices. Finances. You know like the environment. [TS]
01:06:07 ◼ ► That is big picture stuff human resources like. Geraghty all that stuff that is big big picture. [TS]
01:06:13 ◼ ► You're hopefully they'll be filtering down to the smaller things and of course like the. [TS]
01:06:17 ◼ ► You know the whole management reshuffle and collaboration is more important than unifying things under Johnny I [TS]
01:06:23 ◼ ► but it just that that influence in that tone seems not to have made that review yet. No I mean. [TS]
01:06:28 ◼ ► I honestly as long as Phil Schiller is in charge of the division that. After a view was under. [TS]
01:06:34 ◼ ► I don't foresee any major changes in this area. Because I really do think it goes to him and I think. [TS]
01:06:44 ◼ ► and seems to believe that the way they're doing it is the correct way to do it. Now that's. I don't know. [TS]
01:06:51 ◼ ► Part of the reason that we all love apples because everything is so secretive an interesting [TS]
01:06:58 ◼ ► but I don't know I feel like holding on to that Apple is perhaps not the right approach anymore. [TS]
01:07:11 ◼ ► It's probably unfair for me to prescribe what Apple should do from. From my chair here. [TS]
01:07:24 ◼ ► and I'm not the first person realize this is that when we all left over the sea this year we were all so amped up [TS]
01:07:30 ◼ ► and so excited and so. Reinvigorated and then I feel like six months later all grumpy again. [TS]
01:07:43 ◼ ► And how open they seem to be becoming and how they seem to be listening to us and. [TS]
01:07:51 ◼ ► Now six months later it's like Oh we're back in this same dull grind. That we're always in and. [TS]
01:08:00 ◼ ► It's just not in part of the reason that we are also attracted to this environment [TS]
01:08:09 ◼ ► and God are they working hard to suck the fun out of it. Yeah. I feel right now but Apple development. [TS]
01:08:15 ◼ ► The way Phil Schiller sounds on stage at the live most recent you know it's completely on amused I'm bored. Yeah. [TS]
01:08:21 ◼ ► Like just kind of like going through the motions get like kind of like almost angry laid it. [TS]
01:08:26 ◼ ► It like the mood has shifted from the Craig Federighi that we saw at the river D.C. [TS]
01:08:36 ◼ ► Being dropped and saying no this is how things should be this is not how things should be. Period. [TS]
01:08:44 ◼ ► He was under job he's been there for very long time like he is. He represents that. That attitude Apple. [TS]
01:08:50 ◼ ► And you look at the leadership like you know Ben Thompson thought about this like a lot of the of the leadership has [TS]
01:08:54 ◼ ► changed. He's one of the oldest SEPs there now our longest running at least. And I really do think like this. [TS]
01:09:00 ◼ ► This is how this department is run. This is how he thinks is the right way to do it clearly. [TS]
01:09:09 ◼ ► and govern he could change if he wanted to so we know this is how they think they should be running the company [TS]
01:09:26 ◼ ► And maybe that's it look at seems to working OK again like you know edge of a coup [TS]
01:09:42 ◼ ► It benefits the users in certain ways but not others. But you know overall it's probably a benefit. [TS]
01:09:47 ◼ ► But yeah you're right I mean the the overall attitude is pretty negative. And it's pretty stifling and. [TS]
01:09:57 ◼ ► Possible long term problems for Apple you know they they really do depend on developers to to push the boundaries for [TS]
01:10:04 ◼ ► what their platforms and not just the phone but especially the i Pad and probably also in the future the watch. [TS]
01:10:11 ◼ ► They really. They need us to make reasons for people to buy these things. The phone is an easy success. [TS]
01:10:17 ◼ ► Because it's a really good smartphone. And everybody by smartphone. They're subsidizing so much of the world. [TS]
01:10:24 ◼ ► I mean smartphones are this magical business where everyone buys them because their diggers provide so much utility [TS]
01:10:37 ◼ ► They're willing to do it because smartphones are just so there is very big with us so the only. The question isn't. [TS]
01:10:43 ◼ ► Do I buy a smartphone the question is which smartphone do I buy. And so they can compete well there. [TS]
01:10:47 ◼ ► If you look at the i Pad the i Pad is like. It's optional. It's an accessory for most people it's and. [TS]
01:10:53 ◼ ► It's a luxury it's it's an extravagance. It's a fun device it is usually not your primary computer. [TS]
01:10:59 ◼ ► And usually most people don't say I need to have an i Pad It's only a question of which rather I need to have a tablet [TS]
01:11:05 ◼ ► only question of which one do I buy. No it's. It's just an extra The watch is going to be that same thing. [TS]
01:11:11 ◼ ► Most people I don't think wear watches and certainly the the ones who do are watches today. [TS]
01:11:19 ◼ ► Like they think the watch is going to have the exact same challenge the i Pad has of. [TS]
01:11:25 ◼ ► It is coming from zero it is not going to be like a phone where they just have to pull people into the store who are [TS]
01:11:31 ◼ ► already buying their phone anyway. The watch is going to be like you have to tell me why I want this. [TS]
01:11:37 ◼ ► And so much of that rests on what developers do. What apps are out there. So many people end up buying these devices. [TS]
01:11:59 ◼ ► It's very and it becomes less likely that the next big thing is going to be an eyewitness. [TS]
01:12:05 ◼ ► And how does that help Apple. You know I agree and I think perhaps the most obvious. [TS]
01:12:15 ◼ ► Everyone's reactions to watch kit and a lot of popular developers and I wish I could think of a specific person [TS]
01:12:26 ◼ ► Yeah it looks cool but no men to wait and see how this shakes out before I do anything real. [TS]
01:12:31 ◼ ► And that is a different reaction than I remember ever having seen before. Like when the i Pad came out. [TS]
01:12:39 ◼ ► If nothing else. Everyone said holy crap I'm going to make an i Pad app so I can be a part of the gold rush. Where now. [TS]
01:12:56 ◼ ► and you know what Apple has shown this fall with all day I would hate stuff and all the crazy rejections. [TS]
01:13:00 ◼ ► Racing forward to be first to market is not necessarily a good idea. And that's I think that feeds into this like. [TS]
01:13:15 ◼ ► You know there can be more he believes added over time but like all the crazy policies [TS]
01:13:23 ◼ ► The watch is going to have its own set of those it's going to it's going to reset from zero it's going to have it's an [TS]
01:13:31 ◼ ► Many of which the developer community will disagree with and bloggers will get angry about it. [TS]
01:13:36 ◼ ► We're going to start over starting from scratch here and all the same people who cause all this stuff with I.I.S. [TS]
01:13:41 ◼ ► Rejection so far this fall. They're all still making the decision they're also making the calls. [TS]
01:13:46 ◼ ► And so the same system them play it's going to have the same problems of his new platform. [TS]
01:13:56 ◼ ► Because a most most I.O.'s developers of all i OS developers use I.O.'s devices themselves like. [TS]
01:14:03 ◼ ► These are the vices we choose to have. So that makes us already right they're encouraged to develop for them. [TS]
01:14:17 ◼ ► That it is that it's just a good business idea to target them. In many cases or in most cases. [TS]
01:14:28 ◼ ► or if it's going to end up being like what a lot of us say about the i Pad which is like God only use that much ever [TS]
01:14:32 ◼ ► you know ever since the big phones came out or whatever. We also don't know if they're going to sell very well. [TS]
01:14:39 ◼ ► They might sell like crazy they might be blockbusters and we might be we might be looking back at this episode. [TS]
01:14:53 ◼ ► They just might not sell that well for a while if ever and we don't know. And you know be because of the attitude. [TS]
01:15:01 ◼ ► That they have shown developers. I mean since the being the app store really. This. [TS]
01:15:06 ◼ ► but it is special because of the recent mood among the community of like all of this chilling effect coming from all [TS]
01:15:15 ◼ ► I think that makes it even that makes us even less excited to jump into this unknown this big question mark. [TS]
01:15:22 ◼ ► This is why I'm saying like the timing of these things as terrible I think the timing of all these relief. [TS]
01:15:31 ◼ ► Is just awful because this is this is when Apple needs all the enthusiasm that they that they earned. This past summer. [TS]
01:15:39 ◼ ► They need that enthusiasm now. For all of us to start building cool stuff for the launch. [TS]
01:15:47 ◼ ► And instead they've totally burned so much of that with these rejections and again. For what for. [TS]
01:15:54 ◼ ► What was the benefit there are when I think of what the pony had bossman say it all that they would say. [TS]
01:15:59 ◼ ► It's just these weird indie developer blogger things that are angry as you know. Starbucks is going to have a lot jab. [TS]

01:26:04 ◼ ► The nine point seven inch screen. Or at least they're better on it. What I found and. So what I found. [TS]
01:26:14 ◼ ► What I found is that the things I would do on an i Pad I wasn't enjoying them as much. They weren't as good. [TS]

01:29:37 ◼ ► And I actually saw I had an i Pad one i Pad three and now the. I Pad Mini with Retina Display. [TS]
01:29:50 ◼ ► For two reasons one because it is so much more portable which sounds so so stupid if you're if you're a big I've had [TS]
01:29:58 ◼ ► when the first Many came out everyone was like oh it's so much broader because it's so much smaller as we go you people [TS]

01:30:14 ◼ ► That changes everything for me and I take it with me. A lot out with me a lot where I define out with me as. [TS]
01:30:22 ◼ ► Like I throw it in the glove box of the car or something like that or maybe I'm in a meeting [TS]
01:30:27 ◼ ► and I don't bring my computer but I just bring the i Pad so funny to look up something in an email [TS]

01:31:19 ◼ ► You know it's like gone for maybe you know. Ninety nine percent to ninety eight percent of the time. [TS]
01:31:26 ◼ ► and I really think it is the bigger screen the i Phone six on the bigger screen the reason I reach for it is not [TS]
01:31:35 ◼ ► Because that's not what I tend to run into the most it is reading things and browsing the web [TS]
01:31:41 ◼ ► or even just playing games I just don't notice any speed difference of the silly games that I play. [TS]
01:31:49 ◼ ► This giant everything he said about that matter is totally true it is just a massive battery slapped onto a rat is [TS]

01:32:17 ◼ ► This doesn't make sense given like the massive advance hardware advantage of the i Phone six [TS]
01:32:26 ◼ ► It probably won't work on this handheld thing I'll need a bigger screen to be able to do it [TS]

01:42:20 ◼ ► And they needed a buffer like know it's there because that's where you hold it in the thumb rejection stuff. [TS]
01:42:26 ◼ ► Just maybe maybe I just can't get over the idea of like just go ahead just put your arm around [TS]
01:42:30 ◼ ► or you'll never accidently accident. Give it a button the thumb rejection will totally handle this for you. [TS]

01:43:27 ◼ ► when you open and close it. The edge of the i Pad matches up with the like. It doesn't go off. You know. [TS]
01:43:33 ◼ ► At a different angle whereas that the mini version works at all hinged terrible things one is off axis all the time [TS]
01:43:41 ◼ ► That really about you would like the bad cover you know the number three fold instead of four like those are all minor [TS]
01:43:49 ◼ ► but that all of them are trumped by the little skinny edge which I feel like doesn't need specially since it's so light [TS]

01:50:57 ◼ ► And somebody does that thing where they post a screen shot any there it is a screen shot trying to show some piece of [TS]
01:51:03 ◼ ► or more commonly I find it is that insane thing that makes no sense to me except for maybe as a way to get around tweet [TS]
01:51:24 ◼ ► Sometimes it's a picture of a tweet which really boggles my mind is like like with a mechanism for retreating. Like. [TS]
01:51:31 ◼ ► I guess maybe even in the in the non-technical person like view of the world a screenshot of. [TS]
01:51:40 ◼ ► Which really just next year a sense but I know that my problem is or it's a people do this thing it [TS]
01:51:45 ◼ ► and sometimes it's just a legitimate screen shot like showing some application or whatever. [TS]
01:51:49 ◼ ► And whatever I'm using whether it's a Twitter website or a Twitter client or if it's a vine thing or if it's an image [TS]
01:51:54 ◼ ► or a link or like I don't even know what saw from using but very frequently I find myself tapping something. [TS]

01:52:16 ◼ ► I know this is not the original image because nobody would oppose this image because it's illogical they're trying to [TS]
01:52:27 ◼ ► And it is one hundred percent illegible and that means something between me and them. [TS]
01:52:35 ◼ ► and probably it's Twitter doing it like try to sell give will serve the mobile version. [TS]
01:52:41 ◼ ► Well I'm getting As it so many things. So many web services seem to have the idea that all pictures are photos. [TS]
01:52:50 ◼ ► and in my experience it's the opposite almost all pictures are not photos and are like screenshots or text [TS]
01:52:58 ◼ ► And these services like this is another reason I want to be in my path because listen I bet I have a fighting chance [TS]
01:53:03 ◼ ► they won't try to serve me the super duper compressed tiny scaled version of the image. And I find. [TS]
01:53:09 ◼ ► And credibly freshening is like I'm not a lot on the corner real Internet I have to be. [TS]
01:53:12 ◼ ► And it's like being in a web browser again like Toyah version of this. You can handle the full quote unquote photo. [TS]

01:53:40 ◼ ► and maybe if you're really cool you'll like highlight the line that that you want to call tension to like. [TS]
01:53:49 ◼ ► But I can get over it if you can include a link to whatever page you're trying to link to but my favorite [TS]
01:53:57 ◼ ► and by favorite I mean the thing I threaten hate is when they take a screenshot of this thing [TS]
01:54:02 ◼ ► and the don't provide a freaking link. Because it's so annoying and people are posting examples. [TS]
01:54:11 ◼ ► Guys obviously a screenshot like mobile Safari because it's the the highlight of the paragraph or whatever. [TS]
01:54:19 ◼ ► What people are trying to do with this new strategy is beyond like the using screen justice prevail out of his like. [TS]
01:54:24 ◼ ► I can't fit this in a tweet I can put a link to an a tweet but I think of the put a link to it you want to follow it [TS]
01:54:32 ◼ ► You can read text that I couldn't otherwise include in the treat It's like people just don't know it works because you [TS]
01:54:38 ◼ ► know people according to what engage with your tweet more if they can see the paragraph of text here. You know. [TS]
01:54:52 ◼ ► and also my experience of Twitter is very different I would rather just follow the link [TS]
01:54:56 ◼ ► but sometimes it's nice to be able to know exactly where it is there's nothing like in page anger isn't it. [TS]
01:55:00 ◼ ► People don't know how to use. Or they don't exist or both. And so the best way people communicate. There's an article. [TS]
01:55:06 ◼ ► And this part about it I was like basically what they're doing is a link list kind of blog posts where I was there [TS]
01:55:12 ◼ ► They want to link you to something and they want to quote the passages they found relevant. And comment on them. [TS]
01:55:20 ◼ ► You know less plus the link to the image in the image has the part highlighted with. [TS]
01:55:25 ◼ ► Those kind of a mutant inverted form of blogging. Where you can't just birth the Jew thing anyway. [TS]
01:55:31 ◼ ► Bottom line if you're writing your mobile application don't assume all photos are text if you're going to want to be [TS]

01:56:43 ◼ ► Like I don't understand why does any argument because it isn't arguments on polls that one of the crazy examples [TS]
01:56:47 ◼ ► and the like get those people like oh well I guess you'd have to use it there are don't write that sentence [TS]

01:56:57 ◼ ► I could not agree with you more friend of the show Stephen Hackett swears that the Oxford comma is evil [TS]
01:57:10 ◼ ► and if you don't let me put a comma there I cannot express the meaning the intended meaning of that is one of these I [TS]
01:57:18 ◼ ► I have no idea what drives me nuts about about the at the absence of the Freak On the one thousand it's like what I [TS]
01:57:25 ◼ ► read and I don't know if anyone reads this way I may be so so I'm a programmer I don't know what I read. [TS]
01:57:40 ◼ ► and it's hard being it's a no wait with your own stuff and it's. It's given somebody points out like all. [TS]
01:57:45 ◼ ► I thought this sentence that you wrote didn't make any sense to me at first as I thought I meant this [TS]
01:57:49 ◼ ► and you know so it's good to you know Pittston picture that and reword things when you need to but like. [TS]
01:57:54 ◼ ► For me it's like. Like I read in a stream. And I don't want to have to read the whole sentence. [TS]

01:58:30 ◼ ► Oh that's what they meant by that I really don't understand how people could think that that that. [TS]
01:58:51 ◼ ► Well that night heads aren't a complete waste of money. Yeah. Well ask me again six months. That's true. [TS]
01:58:58 ◼ ► You've got a year to figure out this note issue I know you going to give up on it you probably should [TS]
01:59:02 ◼ ► but it makes me sad. If I love everything else about no I would I would try to figure this out more. [TS]
01:59:07 ◼ ► It just doesn't seem like a Type A man it's young it's like it hasn't been tested in this way in the Waited a lot of [TS]
01:59:17 ◼ ► If it seems like the type of thing where you OK so you run into this problem and you ask the question [TS]
01:59:20 ◼ ► and the answer is not oh of course everyone runs into the problem he's a fix the answer is of course everyone's a [TS]
01:59:27 ◼ ► Like that's bad because the beginner should not immediately find something that causes that causes people who know it [TS]
01:59:41 ◼ ► when you're under nother one like it should be the progression of you learning a language shouldn't be. You know. [TS]
01:59:54 ◼ ► And like what you can always tell the warning signs from the community that this might be that some be the wrong thing [TS]
02:00:05 ◼ ► If the question is why is set time at least in memory. If all of the answers are don't use that time out. [TS]
02:00:16 ◼ ► That's a that's a red flag right there that something's not right here this is some some part of this is a bad fit. [TS]
02:00:28 ◼ ► or early on I was like well you know every language has some way to just you know. [TS]
02:00:35 ◼ ► or whatever it's not like I wanted said time out I want like just you do nothing for a while please because I wanted to [TS]
02:00:40 ◼ ► have a race with some of the fellows going on it's like how annoying would not have a sleep causes this is like Unix [TS]
02:00:46 ◼ ► addling my brain other simming every language has access to the UNIX A.P.I. but. Yeah with that without set Timeout. [TS]
02:01:02 ◼ ► when you were asking that question well if I don't use that time out then what is what smiled her maybe note as an [TS]
02:01:07 ◼ ► alternative because no you know. No like that that is like node. Node implemented set time out and said interval. [TS]
02:01:15 ◼ ► To work this way and like that is if you look at the they call the timers module if you look at the node timers module. [TS]
02:01:21 ◼ ► That's that's it like those of the function that you that you have to schedule something in the future and it's not [TS]
02:01:26 ◼ ► It's not just like a thing where you have to be careful about what you reference inside the closure [TS]
02:01:33 ◼ ► when you do set time that you've got to be careful not to have not the cause over these references [TS]
02:01:36 ◼ ► or to like explicitly do something you know to make it happy so you don't like memory there's nothing. [TS]
02:01:45 ◼ ► Maybe it is doing something way too literally the calls like set Timeout. Pull your all. He T.L. I don't like ID. [TS]
02:01:55 ◼ ► I even tried parse into I just to make sure it's an integer doesn't try to retain them in crazy and. [TS]
02:02:01 ◼ ► I even tried making a string. Evolve thing to set high but unfortunate isn't support that. [TS]
02:02:15 ◼ ► Can't be done this in the memory limit which also seem to trying to be no actually that's the limit. [TS]
02:02:23 ◼ ► And apparently people aren't bothered by like it's not gonna know it's as like Romana Moji support. [TS]
02:02:29 ◼ ► Some things just can't be explained. Although it's not coming I'm sure it's coming I'm sure. I need to know. [TS]
02:02:37 ◼ ► Overall I think I would say. If I had to predict and Granted most My predictions are comically wrong. [TS]
02:02:44 ◼ ► But if I had to predict the future of these languages I would say. Python and Ruby. Will outlive node in common usage. [TS]
02:02:57 ◼ ► and only reason anyone cares about it all is because every frigging where we all have to deal with it. [TS]
02:03:01 ◼ ► And like so that's that for javascript and. No it is like well whatever great if you could say. [TS]
02:03:15 ◼ ► It just may be that node jast is not the one or maybe needs more time to bake or whatever [TS]
02:03:22 ◼ ► and maybe no never accepted in someone else comes out of the services there's been there been other service odd jobs [TS]
02:03:27 ◼ ► or been there will be other ones in the future until we can't unless we can get Javascript off of the. The browser. [TS]
02:03:41 ◼ ► and if we get to use Marj goblet cations I've gotta change over the years but until we can get rid of javascript [TS]
02:03:45 ◼ ► and the browser side. Probably stuck with some kind of job script on the server side. You know. [TS]
02:03:52 ◼ ► I should point out that the current version of node is zero dot ten thirty five which. [TS]
02:03:58 ◼ ► I mean obviously everyone's version numbers mean something different than everyone else's [TS]
02:04:10 ◼ ► and I mean there's nothing there's nothing technically about no that says it couldn't be made to be better like it just [TS]
02:04:15 ◼ ► is just young yet and people obviously haven't stressed it to do that was that the market was doing. [TS]
02:04:21 ◼ ► Or haven't found that's where the limit as it needs time to mature and become about us. Like right mean maybe. [TS]
02:04:27 ◼ ► Maybe I'm using their own tool for the job here. But it really it really seemed like it was a good tool for this job. [TS]
02:04:33 ◼ ► Yeah really bums me out because I really wanted to like it I don't even know why I like it doesn't matter. [TS]
02:04:38 ◼ ► But it just seemed like this is the sort of thing I would use note for to your point and. [TS]
02:04:45 ◼ ► It seems like it's a lost cause and it worked fine if you had ten thousand year old aquaria but once here. [TS]
02:04:54 ◼ ► and it would work fine if I was going to reset the process every six hours. With only one thousand euros to crawl. [TS]
02:05:13 ◼ ► when I was crawling eight of them whatever that is like you know. Forty or whatever the. [TS]
02:05:17 ◼ ► And even doing that it would it would pass again within like twenty minutes. It was really bad. [TS]
02:05:28 ◼ ► So I tried taking heat from profiles and loading them into Chrome developer thing and looking at all the stacks [TS]
02:05:36 ◼ ► And for the for the few objects it is it is tracking you could see some of them had really really deep recursive set [TS]
02:05:42 ◼ ► Timeout calls. So you can tell that's where the problem is the problem is set Timeout is retaining things. [TS]
02:05:51 ◼ ► but like the function at the end of itself call set time out on itself. For some point in the future. And I tried. [TS]
02:06:03 ◼ ► And I tried you know clearing the intervals of course I tried a lot at it. I could not get to work. I worked. [TS]
02:06:10 ◼ ► I could not get it to not legal over the place and it just. Again it's. It just is not. [TS]
02:06:16 ◼ ► It is not a good enough fit in every other way to what I'm told I want in new language. [TS]
02:06:24 ◼ ► So I mean the case the Emini you're getting what you want which is you're going to try a new language and now. [TS]
02:06:29 ◼ ► Because no does not working out I'm trying even more new languages so really this is awesome. Well. Yes and no. [TS]
02:06:37 ◼ ► I think you're predisposed to hate almost ever seen you're trying but. But to your credit you are trying. [TS]
02:06:47 ◼ ► Once I actually I'm predisposed to hate and I haven't tried before because I don't want to have to try them. [TS]
02:06:58 ◼ ► or however long it's been getting pretty decent as one really complicated task a node. [TS]
02:07:04 ◼ ► And now I feel like I'm throwing away all this knowledge I mean granted at least it was quick. [TS]
02:07:09 ◼ ► and everything like you know goes in take a little bit longer learn just because it's. [TS]
02:07:19 ◼ ► but once I try something I want to work because I don't want to learn something else. [TS]
02:07:24 ◼ ► That's just like it's like natural human offensiveness like you want to when something is new [TS]
02:07:33 ◼ ► It's writs relevance to them so that they can continue the way they've been doing things [TS]
