Re: Future for Mac applications

2011-10-29 Thread Gregory Casamento
This subject came up about a year ago when Lion was first announced
 here was the reaction to it:

http://9to5mac.com/2010/04/25/jobs-mac-store-negative-ghostrider-593035053/

While Steve is now no longer with us.  I very much doubt that Apple would
shoot itself in the foot in this manner.

  Not too difficult to forecast the future here. Will it be for an
 application to run on a Mac it will need to sandboxed and signed ?

 We all know that Apple will not comment on future plans. It might not be a
 good idea to encourage rampant speculation on this list.

 But as it stands right now, it's worth remembering that code signing and
 sandboxing are orthogonal technologies, and sandboxing clearly hasn't been
 nailed down yet.

Re: Stepwise articles

I honestly wish that he had left them up or had allowed them to be
Archived.  Those articles were invaluable back in the NeXT/OPENSTEP
days and they would certainly be valuable today.

 Hi all,

 does anybody have a copy of the following article:

 archive.org appears not to have it.

 Thanks,

 Unfortunately, Scott Anguish deleted the entire site, and when he did, he 
 specifically asked for people not to post backups of it online. It was a real 
 shame to see it go, because it was a really helpful resource when it was 
 still around.

Re: Does anyone else dislike Xcode 4?

2011-07-24 Thread Gregory Casamento
One of main problems I have with XCode 4 is the one window interface.
While integrating IB made sense on some level, it also seems like if
they're going to integrate IB, they should integrate editors for
everything else (such as images).   This is, of course, ludicrous.
I'm a big believer in the philosophy of separate applications/tools
for every job.   Xcode 4 violates this philosophy by the integration
of IB.

Then again, I took part in writing Gorm (the GNUstep equivalent of
IB), so I may be a bit biased about it going away. ;)

 As I mentioned before, everyone should go to bugreporter.apple.com and

 Please don’t do that. It’s just going to annoy the people who have to triage 
 the incoming bug reports. “I don’t like this feature” is not a bug report, 
 it’s an opinion about the user interface. And believe me, there are already 
 enough people inside Apple with strong, and divergent, opinions about UI.

 I’m not saying you should shut up; just that a different medium like a blog 
 post or a WWDC feedback session would be more appropriate.

 That's silly. Everyone at Apple always says, If it's not in Radar, we don't 
 know about it. The decision makers aren't going to read your obscure little 
 blog. And WWDC was sold out in one day; attendance is very limited.

Re: #macdev/#iphonedev ban, in need of sympathy

2010-05-02 Thread Gregory Casamento
Patrick,

There are alternative channels on FreeNode to discuss Mac/iPhone
development.  You might give #macosxdev a shot since it seems to have
developers in it who know what they're doing and are relatively nice.

 I just got kick/banned from #macdev and #iphondev. I was asking an

 typing out the text explaining the problem, so they couldn't possibly

 After enough trying there, I went to #macdev instead, looking for

 understand the question, but only after dozens and dozen of lines of
 IRCing in a PM. He gave some pointers, and now it's all worked out.

 However, in the mean time, another user in #macdev started bitching at
 me about reposting the question when I already supposedly got loads
 of answers in #iphonedev (which I most definitely did not).

 I say bitching because he wasn't just politely reminding me that
 re-posting question is frowned up. His words were of a condensing
 sort, and he was _bitching_ about it. So, I said fuck you, /ignore,
 and put him on /ignore Immediately after that, the admin RTFM_FTW
 banned me, and he's not willing to lift it.

 I get banned from #iphonedev and #macdev on a very regular basis.
 Don't quote me on the numbers, but I think it's something like once
 per month, sometimes maybe more. Every time it's by this abusive admin
 RTFM_FTW. I've had open disputes with him in the past. Eventually I
 politely told him that I didn't think we should interact anymore, and
 then put him on a permanent /ignore in my IRC client. But the bans
 keep coming anyway :-/

 I feel that I'm being discriminated against. The bans keep coming from
 RTFM_FTW, and from nobody else.

 I wish I could put some sort of injunction on RTFM_FTW banning me,
 because I'm certain no other admins would.

 I'm not really sure what to do here. I'm really missing
 #macdev/#iphonedev right now :-(

 P.S
 If you're on here RTFM_FTW, fuck you. Just leave me the fuck alone
 already. I don't want to talk to you, and you don't want to talk to
 me; we don't like each other, and that's fine. But stop fucking
 banning me already, it's an abuse of your position. Feel free to ask
 another op to ban me, and if that other op feel that it's fit, then
 I'll be fine with a ban from _them_. But I doubt that's likely to ever
 happen, because 90% of your reason for banning me is due to the
 lasting dislike of me that you have from that time I talked back to
 you earlier this year in #macdev, so just quit it already, please!

Re: #macdev/#iphonedev ban, in need of sympathy

2010-05-02 Thread Gregory Casamento
I should also mention that the alternative on FreeNode for the iPhone
development instead of #iphonedev is #iphone.  My recommendation is to
go there and to #macosxdev instead of #macdev if you want actual
questions answered.

I'm saying this from experience. :)
