  1. All that remains of my car

  2. Xcode uses 100% CPU when running tests because it’s constantly updating the test status image. Virtually all of it is in -[NSImage size] 😞

  3. Introducing the Realm Mobile Platform! 🎉🎉🎉 The perfect backend for the next generation of reactive mobile apps

  4. You asked and we delivered: the Realm Mobile Database is now fully open source! 🔓👏

  5. They left it on the front step in plain view of the street. Anyone could’ve taken it. Isn’t the point of signature required to prevent that?

  6. iPhone wasn’t schedule for delivery until Monday, but delivered it early. Trouble is, their driver lied about anyone signing for it.

  7. And for the ultimate laugh, the installer for the tool to set your iOS app up with Oracle Mobile Security Suite requires XQuartz.

  8. Also attempts to interpose all HTTP requests. And people apparently willing add this to their apps?!

  9. WTF, Oracle Mobile Security Suite. Among other things, it attempts to interpose all file I/O functions in your app:

  10. There’s no way for a user to know they can get sensible backtraces unless they hover their cursor over random things on screen.

  11. And the toggle to disable it is one of tiny, unintelligible icons at the bottom of the debug pane.

  12. Who on earth thought having Xcode default to hiding frames without symbols from backtraces was a good idea?

  13. Apple’s spec for Time Machine over SMB is interesting. Wonder how long it’ll be before it’s widely implemented.

  14. PG&E’s approach to clean energy is to charge customers more for it?

  15. And having tweeted about my first non-Apple computer in forever, my MacBook Pro promptly kernel panicked.

  16. The IPMI KVM also means I can watch memtest86 without ever plugging a display into the machine.

  17. Worked around that by plugging in the ethernet and using IPMI to power on the machine. Physical power buttons are so 1990s.

  18. Assembled a new computer for the first time in a decade, but couldn’t convince the case power switch to turn on the machine… 😖
