Re: Change My View: Once Macs use ARM chips, they should be updated annually like iPhones

Rafael — Wed, 20 Jun 2018 17:10:50 -0000

A yearly release cycle is already very stressful for developers. make it a two year release cycle for iOS & macOS devices.

Re: Setup The Caching Service On macOS High Sierra

Rafael — Mon, 16 Oct 2017 02:11:43 -0000

Thanks for sharing your Caching Server experience. It looks like there are a couple of gotchas when you use the command line tool inside a virtual environment like ESXi. While the status command returns Activated = 1; Active = 1;, the isActivated command returns an error message and tells me that I’m inside a virtual machine. The Caching Server seems to work nonetheless and the GUI correctly represents this status. I’m not sure if one of the CLI commands is broken or if something else is going on. I’ve the serial number of the machine already configured to be no longer than 12 chars and the Caching Server worked without flaws on older (virtualized) version of macOS.

Re: PhpStorm 2016.2 is released!

Rafael — Sat, 23 Jul 2016 05:20:06 -0000

I’ve the same issue. In PhpStorm the debugger segfaults:


/usr/local/bin/php -dxdebug.remote_enable=1 -dxdebug.remote_mode=req -dxdebug.remote_port=9000 -dxdebug.remote_host=127.0.0.1 /foo/bar/script.php

Process finished with exit code 139 (interrupted by signal 11: SIGSEGV)

When I use the same command in the terminal I get a different output:


➜  ~ /usr/local/bin/php -dxdebug.remote_enable=1 -dxdebug.remote_mode=req -dxdebug.remote_port=9000 -dxdebug.remote_host=127.0.0.1 /foo/bar/script.php

Starting...

➜  ~ echo $?

0

Any ideas what’s going on here?

Did you try a similar example in a Swift 2.0 context?

I think the most important part of your post is hidden at the end: everybody should use what works for a specific project.

While I see the advantages of using the present tense (and in fact stumbled upon this post because I’ve seen some present tense messages in open source projects), I probably never won’t use the present tense for my projects.

I’m an indie dev and I use the first line of a commit message for the release notes while the description gives me an idea about implementation details. It’s a user centric workflow compared to the developer based approach you describe. I can save some time this way. It would be extremely unnatural to give your users instructions in the release notes. It’s my job to fix bugs and to add features. I have to save time, because I’m an indie. I don’t have a “release notes writer” in my team.

What’s the difference to the official, free GitHub client (which honestly looks almost the same)?

Won’t there be a JoyPoll anymore?

US sales tax is usually much lower than VAT in Europe. There are also much higher taxes when you run a company in Europe, even if it’s in a country like Luxembourg where the taxes are amongst the lowest in Europe.

What a great idea! Thanks for sharing it. Now I’m ignoring like it’s 1999.

Recommending 1Password now and at the same time telling people that a new version is around the corner isn’t good advice. The update will cost money and be a different app.

Why not use a script like this one? We all have Keyboard Maestro and you can assign to run a script on key press or release.

Re: MOSX Tumblelog - Save All Your iTunes/Mail Receipts as PDF

Rafael — Mon, 01 Oct 2012 06:07:39 -0000

I prefer to buy iTunes gift cards and give them to the accountant. It’s much better to have one receipt with 8x25 € cards than 100 receipts with apps for 1,59 € each.

Re: iPhone pricing and US market share

Rafael — Sat, 21 Jul 2012 17:46:25 -0000

Data roaming (although more limited) is also covered in this extra fees. If you buy the aforementioned extra package in addition to your contract you stop caring in which part of the EU you are (e.g. with Vodafone or Telekom / T-Mobile). Even prepaid contracts have the same prices for outgoing calls in the whole EU (e.g. Congstar). Regulations made this almost a non-issue and it will only get better. Travel SIMs are popular, because people are locked in into creepy contracts or don’t know that they can buy an extra package in addition to their monthly contract. They are also very popular for people from outside the EU. Keep in mind that we have also a much better coverage than in the US and effectively pay less.

Re: iPhone pricing and US market share

Rafael — Sat, 21 Jul 2012 07:05:05 -0000

We’ve also cheap roaming plans (depending on the carrier and contract, but usually between 5–10 € / month extra) that let you either use your national minutes or get very cheap calls from within the whole EU (thanks to government regulations). Your comparison couldn’t be further from the truth.

xcrun is just a multi-purpose command that runs or locates development tools. In this case it just locates the iOS frameworks and runs pngcrush from there (instead of you specifying the whole path). Nothing really new here.

Re: Standard iPhone Element Sizes (Width x Height)

Rafael — Fri, 11 May 2012 05:18:17 -0000

These are a lot harder to determine, because you have to stand on your head while watching the Great Bear (and only when there’s a full moon). And I—completely—seriously still don’t get it why Apple had to take the energy spectrum of cosmic rays under consideration when calculating the size for the landscape modes.

Re: Another Day, Another New Update For Day One Journal App

Rafael — Fri, 09 Mar 2012 13:35:24 -0000

Hi, I’m Rafael, one of the owners of Juicy Cocktail. We make a journaling app for OS X that offers better media integration than Day One for about the same price. There will also be an iOS version, but the release date isn’t public at this moment. Memories (http://shurl.at/as) has an easy to use interface while you can add images & other media to your entries in Memories. With Day One you are limited to text, but it’s sometimes really nice to add a picture of your or a place you recently visited. Furthermore we offer true encryption. Day One is password protected, but it is very easy to see the plain text of your entries when you go to the folder in the Finder where your journal is stored. Memories uses AES encryption and your entries are really unreadable for prying eyes. I can’t say it often enough how important it is to keep your very personal entries protected. I think that our export and import functionality is also superior. You can export and import entries in over five formats and choose between exporting a single entry or the whole diary.

Re: Automatic creation and modification dates in Core Data models

Rafael — Mon, 05 Mar 2012 10:52:59 -0000

You shouldn’t set the primitive value, because Core Data won’t notice the change. You should rather compare if the date is greater than a certain threshold (e.g. 1 second) and set it only in this case. This is also stated in the Apple docs.

Based on your workflow I created one that edits the current text in BBEdit. I remember that you told me that you’ve a similar one, but that you aren’t allowed to switch applications between the editing session, because the script always switches back to the last application. I save the current app in a variable and then switch back to it. You can browse in Safari or do other weird stuff during your editing sessions and the script does the right thing.

I used QuickCursor all the time, but it stopped working reliably for apps that are in full-screen. My script has also some problems with them, but there’s a hacky solution around it that isn’t visible in this screenshot: http://shurl.at/aj. Just add 0.5 sec pauses before you paste the content into BBEdit / the other application and tell the other application to bring application windows to the front.

Yes, Smart Folders are like BBEdit or DragThing. You don’t realize what you missed until you *truly* try to use it.
