Like another autorelease pool or something that GCs on a thread? 15:15:25 the other part about accessors that is broken is that they shouldn't be necessary. there's no reason you shouldn't just be able to just read/write a property directly in 80-90% of the cases -- and it's at least an order of magnitude faster 15:15:41 Ahh, I see. That's what you meant about the OO-purist attitude. 15:16:37 I think they've tried GC a couple of times, but the hard part is that the code for retain/release is already there (hard to no-op), and it shifts your warts around. 15:16:41 "But when she asked Matt why she couldn't make CNN.com any larger, Matt launched into one of his geek tirades with lots of big technical words, got very frustrated, and finally said there was nothing he could do. 15:16:41 " 15:17:28 if anyone ever wonders why Cocoa apps are slow, that article explains probably half of it right there. 15:17:42 15:18:40 by coincidence, I've "worked" with John Randolph and Don Yacktman as attributed in that article ;) 15:19:14 never on the same projects tho -- never met them in person 15:21:56 as a warning: never suggest this kind of stuff to a NeXT/Apple veteran. you'll get fried 15:22:14 I could imagine :) 15:22:29 they are so entrenched it will take word from God^H^H^H Jobs to change it 15:23:57 and mind you, even with those criticisms Obj-C is a good two orders better than C++, and possibly more than a good deal better than Java 15:26:20 it's also faster than Python, a little bit 15:26:59 I keep wanting to dig into GNUStep some more. Though I love working with Cocoa, I hate being stuck with just OS X 15:28:14 from what I hear, GNUStep is very capable now. most people's "starter apps" should work on GS 15:28:22 it's usually the broader things that don't work 15:28:23 But that memory management thing still has me confused, especially after having been buried in perl and java for years 15:28:35 :( I know 15:29:25 i wish they'd hurry up nd finish pyobjc 15:30:54 That would be very nifty.

Often, you lose sight of the users. 21:34:36 commented item A 21:34:53 A::The power of Radio is that it can write. Winer charges for that power, and that's fine. 21:35:00 commented item A 21:35:45 A::AmphetaDesk is an aggregator. That's my goal right now. I don't assume the user wants to write.

Compared to Radio's tech audience which must fork out $40 for code they don't own, I've already won, even if the features aren't matching yet. 21:37:30 heh 21:37:33 commented item A 21:38:28 A::The only public opinion of heard from Winer is that he thinks the aggregator is a clearcut rip of his Radio aggregator.

The current thought from the creators of MacPerl is that it's a GUSI bug, and we're both working together to try and figure it out. 21:43:24 commented item A 21:43:30 A::Once it's hammered out, there will be a Classic AmphetaDesk. 21:43:32 commented item A 21:43:36 neat 21:44:11 A::And what about multithreading...? 21:44:11 A::Since threading isn't available under Mac Classic, there are no plans for threading. I don't like the idea of OS superiority - one AmphetaDesk working better somewhere else. 21:44:13 commented item A 21:44:17 commented item A 21:44:22 A::But, depending on the demand for Classic support, I may reconsider. 21:44:24 commented item A 21:44:38 A::Rumors have been swirling about a new Aqua interface for AmphetaDesk, developed by a man only known by his catch phrase: "I hate decaf coffee." Do you have any response to these allegations? 21:44:45 commented item A 21:45:33 A::They won't be rumors for long :) 21:45:39 commented item A 21:46:59 A::What do you think of Rael Dornfest's aggregator, [blagg|http://www.oreillynet.com/~rael/lang/perl/blagg/], also written in Perl? 21:47:01 commented item A 21:47:33 A::Rael and I have already talked about integrating Blagg and AmphetaDesk. 21:47:36 commented item A 21:47:45 actually, no we haven't. 21:47:45 that's blosxom. 21:47:45 remove that line 21:47:53 post-production 21:48:04 ok, real response? 21:50:22 Morbus? 21:50:51 bzzt. time up 21:50:52 A::With a version number like 0.93, should new users be afraid and wait until 1.0?

I don't consider blagg a competitor however - it requires too much from the end user. Perl installed, manual config file editing, a command line, a filesystem that can support thousands and thousands of tiny files in a single directory, etc. 21:54:23 commented item A 21:55:13 A::AmphetaDesk is rather polished. My minor numeric upgrades are HuUUGe code upgrades. AmphetaDesk has been around since early 2001, has gone through about a dozen revisions, and has been downloaded about 26,000 times. It's stable. 21:55:15 commented item A 21:55:25 A::It's not 1.0 yet because I don't think it's great enough for a 1.0 release. 21:55:27 commented item A 21:55:55 A::Well, we all know you've been working on this release for months. What's next on the horizon, and when should users expect 1.0? 21:56:10 commented item A 21:56:32 A::Well, first, there won't be a 1.0. I'd jump right into 1.1.

I was hoping you'd sent a DW fanboy letter a few years ago or something 21:57:56 A::As for the horizon, probably the one feature that will absolutely make it in a 1.1 release is the "don't show items I've seen before". It's oft-requested. 21:58:02 sbp: bwahahah 21:58:07 commented item A 21:58:30 A::And ordering by last-update? When is that addition planned? 21:58:32 commented item A 21:58:39 A::Other than that, the tech end of things will include stronger support for all the various RSS 1.0 modules, template switching, a possible plugin architecture and so forth. 21:58:42 commented item A 21:59:18 A::Ordering by last update? Channels or items? Channels are already ordered by last update, but in the current version, you could order them alphabetically, reverse alphabetically, by date added, etc. It's a few lines of code - another loaf/slice sort of thing. 21:59:21 commented item A 21:59:40 A::As for items, that will come later. Since RSS doesn't force date and times on items, AmphetaDesk will have to figure that out by it's lonesome. 21:59:43 commented item A 22:00:18 happening live in #swhack 22:00:21 oops. 22:00:38 Rias (thomas@io.stderr.net) has joined #swhack 22:00:54 A::Another often requested feature for AmphetaDesk is a search engine for the thousands of available feeds. Are you planning to add such a functionality? 22:00:55 commented item A 22:01:17 A::I'd love to, but the difficulty isn't the code, but rather the people who create RSS. 22:01:20 commented item A 22:01:42 A::People aren't putting in decent descriptions of what the channel is about, so searching will ultimately fail due to lack of strong data. 22:01:45 commented item A 22:02:11 A::What about a title search? 22:02:13 commented item A 22:02:36 A::Same sorta thing. I'd like to, but searching for "semantic web" isn't going to return this Swhack weblog. 22:02:38 commented item A 22:04:13 A::[http://www.edmurray.org/archive/000281.html#000281|Ed Murray] notes that he is very keen on [http://www.newzcrawler.com/|Newzcrawler].

Pff 22:04:56 it's a bit more whimsical as it is above, though, I suppose 22:05:01 A::I don't consider any aggregator a competitor unless it's free, open sourced, and crossplatform. 22:05:07 commented item A 22:05:21 A::For that much, the only one I know of that is similar to AmphetaDesk is [http://www.johnmunsch.com/|HotSheet]. 22:05:27 commented item A 22:06:33 A::AmphetaDesk is still a Web-based program in an age where GUI tools are back in vogue again. Do you have any plans to give AmphetaDesk a native GUI? 22:06:36 commented item A 22:06:49 A::None what so ever. 22:06:52 commented item A 22:07:42 A::What is Bill Kearney's relationship to AmphetaDesk: how much is AmphetaDesk dependent upon his syndic8 site, and what is your personal opinion of him? 22:07:45 commented item A 22:08:16 lol 22:08:38 oh man. 22:08:50 heh, I surprise myself sometimes 22:09:07 A::Kearney and I have disagreements an awful lot, but we've always got smiles on our faces as we lace into each other. 22:09:15 commented item A 22:09:49 A::AmphetaDesk does use the feed export from Syndic8's site, and Jeff Barr (the creator of Syndic8) realizes and approves of it. 22:09:57 commented item A 22:10:06 bastard 22:10:11 is that all? 22:10:17 hey, it could have been worse. A::Did you not say in the past (and I quote verbatim): "kearney is driving me nuts", "kearney pisses me off with his reasoning", and "when winer left, we got kearney in his place. i'm not sure who I dislike the least." 22:10:18 what's your personal opinion 22:10:36 sbp: hey, anything's up for grab. 22:10:40 A::One of our viewers has kindly written in with this, er, question.
