• Habitat – Automation That Travels with the App

From containers to traditional services, Habitat gives you a
consistent way to build and run your applications in a Cloud
Native manner.

Suggested by Kbknapp

As for habitat, we’re not using it in production (yet) but it’s a neat way to package up your “app” (whatever that may be) and everything it encompasses (redis, DB, you name it) into a single output artifact (they call them HARTs) in a reproducible manner.

This artifact can then be either run baremetal, inside a traditional container, etc. There’s also a lightweight runtime for these artifacts that allow some awesome things like service discovery, gossip rings, config sharing and updating between multiple instances of these artifacts.

Basically it’s a great way to have an extremely lightweight “environment + your app” (hence the name) that has everything you need except the OS or OS related bits (which is where/why it differs from a container and also why it can be run in a container if needed).

Keeping XCTest in sync on Linux

Interesting read on some complications with working in #swift on #linux https://t.co/Mt4VWW5m3e #programming

— Michael Dominick (@dominucco) April 16, 2017

Swift is cross-platform, but it behaves differently on Apple platforms vs. all other operating systems, mainly for two reasons:

• The Objective-C runtime is only available on Apple platforms.
• Foundation and the other core libraries have separate implementations for non-Apple OSes. This means some Foundation APIs may produce divergent results on macOS/iOS and Linux (though the stated goal is implementation parity), or they may simply not be fully implemented yet.

Therefore, when you write a library that doesnʼt depend on any Apple-specific functionality, itʼs a good idea to test your code on macOS/iOS and Linux.

Stuck between a rock and a hard place

It’s been 4 years since the last substantial update to the MacBook Pro. The exact reasons why Apple decided to neglect their pro equipment, and why they still have not updated the Mac Pro or the iMac are known only to Apple, but it seems reasonable to assume that if Mac’s were still their main profit generator that this would not have happened. The iPhone is updated like clockwork at the same time every year.

• Apple Unveils New 13-Inch and 15-Inch MacBook Pros With Retina ‘Touch Bar’ – Mac Rumors

Apple calls it “the most powerful MacBook Pro ever,” and the 13-inch model features a 2.9 GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 processor with Turbo Boost speeds.

• up to 3.3 GHz, 8GB of memory and 256GB of flash storage.
• The 15-inch version has a 2.6 GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 processor with Turbo Boost speeds up to 3.5 GHz
• 16GB of memory and 256GB of flash storage.

• Both computers reach “up to 2.3 times the graphics performance” of the previous generation.

• Each edition includes SSDs with sequential read speeds over 3GBps, and the ability to drive a 5K display through a single Thunderbolt 3 ports

The level of pushback from the MacBook Pro event is staggering. I sure hope someone at Apple who can make a difference is paying attention.

Wow 16GB cap? https://t.co/LIo3IhkIqw that’s really tough on the #MacBookPro @ChrisLAS

— Michael Dominick (@dominucco) October 29, 2016

• Why is it limited to 16GB of RAM? Supporting more RAM would just require a bigger battery, so instead of making it thinner, they could have included 32GB of RAM and kept it the same width as the previous model

Although this is technically true, there is a seemingly little-known legal obstacle to this. The Federal Aviation Administration has capped the maximum allowable size of laptop batteries on flights to 100 watt-hours. That explains why Apple’s pro model contains _precisely_a 99.5 watt-hour battery. Making a thicker laptop would not allow them to increase the size of the battery due to these regulations.

• Apple’s new Intel driven MacBook Pros have a secondary ARM processor that runs Touch ID and security

Apple’s new 13″ and 15″ MacBook Pro models come equipped with a Touch Bar — that bar and the accompanying Touch ID sensor are powered by both the Intel processor at the core of the laptop and an Apple designed T1 chip. That T1 is the same chip that is inside the S2 in the new Series 2 Apple Watch.

The T1 consists of the processor in the Apple Watch’s S2 and the Secure Enclave.

Dev Hoopla: .NET Goes Open Source

.NET Foundation – Announcing new governance model and project contributions to the .NET Foundation

Microsoft is making headlines today for its decision to open source its popular .NET development stack, which will now be maintained under the stewardship of the .NET Foundation. This should be welcome news to the millions of developers who use .NET to build high quality applications and services that can scale from needs of individual developers to large enterprises.

As part of its announcement last spring, Microsoft released .NET code to the open source community. Today’s news builds onto that, as Microsoft aims to further make .NET Core available across platforms for Linux and Mac. The company will open source additional key .NET platform components through the foundation.

• Microsoft Open Sources .NET and Mono – Miguel de Icaza

Today, Scott Guthrie announced that Microsoft is open sourcing .NET. This is a momentous occasion, and one that I have advocated for many years.

.NET is being open sourced under the MIT license. Not only is the code being released under this very permissive license, but Microsoft is providing a patent promise to ensure that .NET will get the adoption it deserves.

The code is being hosted at the .NET Foundation’s github repository.

This patent promise addresses the historical concerns that the open source, Unix and free software communities have raised over the years.

There are three components being open sourced: the .NET Framework Libraries, .NET Core Framework Libraries and the RyuJit VM. More details below.

Lennart Poettering talks about dysfunctional communities in open source

I don’t usually talk about this too much, and hence I figure that people are really not aware of this, but yes, the Open Source community is full of assholes, and I probably more than most others am one of their most favourite targets. I get hate mail for hacking on Open Source. People have started multiple “petitions” on petition web sites, asking me to stop working (google for it). Recently, people started collecting Bitcoins to hire a hitman for me (this really happened!). Just the other day, some idiot posted a “song” on youtube, a creepy work, filled with expletives about me and suggestions of violence. People post websites about boycotting my projects, containing pretty personal attacks. On IRC, people /msg me sometimes, with nasty messages, and references to artwork in 4chan style. And there’s more. A lot more.

Dev Hoopla: Massive Issues with Xamarin?

Anonymous Open Letter to Xamarin – Please Stop Abusing Your Monopoly

Anonymous Open Letter to Xamarin – Please Stop Abusing Your Monopoly

I’ve been using Xamarin for the past half a year almost fulltime, developing an application for both iOS and Android. Everything in this letter is based on my personal experience with the technology.

I’d really like to know what the priority list is at Xamarin, because it seems that Cool Thing To Demo is way up high, and Working software is hiding down in the corner where nobody sees it. I just hope that someone at Xamarin is actually reading the error reports that Xamarin Studio generates.

Does anyone there actually use Xamarin Studio, or is it just something you guys sell and never try yourself? Throwing exceptions on Undo/Save is something no editor should ever do, period. Please stop adding new features and go fix some bugs. There are hundreds of them just in the UI of the editor.

Xamarin makes me sad, here is my message to them

TL;DR: I love C# more than any other language, but Xamarin is HORRIBLE. I wish it and mono were never invented. It’s a disgrace, completely broken and buggy and just the most broken thing in the entire universe, but I still use it.

Why? Because I can write for 2 platforms as if it was one. haha, not really … but because I work on small apps, I don’t have to write all the business crap twice. That is good about Xamarin, that is the only thing. They can actually compile plain C# … hooray. If only the rest of the crap expensive broken Xamarin crap library actually worked as advertised.

If you don’t believe me, go to https://bugzilla.xamarin.com/ and look at the bugs, or look at mono release notes. Just look at the list of shiny features of Mono (https://www.mono-project.com/docs/). Well half of that crap is either broken, or was never implemented, or just doesn’t work as documented. Everything is just a lie that should make it look good. Xamarin does thousand things, they release new iOS SDK the same day Apple releases it … wow … if only they waited a year and then released a working version instead. They make thousand cool features, but they’re all broken.

For comparison, Apple reported 9 million iPhone 5s and 5c sales in the first three days. This means the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus set a new record by over a million units. Apple is unlikely to give any more color regarding iPhone sales performance until its quarterly earnings call in October.
