Swift and Go. Love 'em both. They make me mad in completely different ways. Infosec as required.

I'm not particularly leaving Twitter, but I am spending a lot less time here. Most of my posts are now on https://t.co/uk9qvzCUSI, and that's where I spend more of my time reading. I'll post to Twitter for things that need more reach, and I still look at Twitter every day or two.

Big-O matters, but it's often memory that's killing your performance.: https://t.co/8trk1LBNMz

@Cennydavidsson I don't think it changes this much one way or another. Before you pull something into main is a very good point to stop, think about what you (singular or plural) meant to do, and re-read the changes and make sure they actually do that, and the way you really wanted.

@davetron5000 I configured my client to show all posts. The folks I follow, I wouldn't follow if I didn't want to see their posts. I don't hang out on the local feeds.

And *still* the CWs are handy by giving me a bold subject line, and leads me to skip over stuff I'd rather skip.

Life comes at you fast.

In a few weeks, my "I'm bored" muscle memory has gone from "tw\n" to "mas\n". (after "sta\n")

I think this wake is premature. Things can shamble on a long time (livejournal). But still, Mastodon has already replaced this for me. Took 2-3 weeks.

@cocoafrog Now that I've taken the trouble to make a custom instrument, I probably wouldn't go back. But if templates can let me filter signposts and HTTP requests tracks to just the pieces I want, I would save some time in the future.

[Rob Napier - @[email protected] @cocoaphony]

Any custom Instruments experts out there? Maybe this is just a limitation in Instruments to keep it faster?

[Rob Napier - @[email protected] @cocoaphony]

@cocoafrog But question: What really got me started on this road was that I couldn't find a way to save a template that showed Signposts for a specific subsystem. It always had the general "os signposts" instrument, and after running, I had to drill down to my piece. Can templates do that?

[Rob Napier - @[email protected] @cocoaphony]

@cocoafrog Fairly well; there are some states that are very short, so nothing is visible, but that's fine; they're very short states. The states I mostly care about are roughly of similar length and represent large chunks of the request, so when zoomed to the request, their bars are long.

[Rob Napier - @[email protected] @cocoaphony]

@cocoafrog My Instrument has tracks for the entire request time, time in each state (sequential), time spent in each activity (overlapping), HTTP requests, and total network traffic. They're all built-in tools; I just want to organize them in ways that best tell the story, even to non-devs.

[Rob Napier - @[email protected] @cocoaphony]

@cocoafrog I've found that even with my current builtin-based solution, I screenshot and share the plot a lot (often to folks who are not Apple devs). Having the numbers on it would make that nicer, keeping the screenshot small and clear.

[Rob Napier - @[email protected] @cocoaphony]

@_saagarjha @davedelong Yeah, that was the answer, at least with out writing a custom modeler, which I may consider at some point, but not today. Thanks. https://t.co/asdVDDI2oU

[Rob Napier - @[email protected] @cocoaphony]

I've never had a response from Apple so fast & helpful through dev forums (not counting Swift forums). Even though the answer is "this isn't possible, please open a FB," that's totally fine, and for once in a long time, I was happy to open the FB. https://t.co/okufdyvHfy

[Rob Napier - @[email protected] @cocoaphony]

@icanzilb @aligatr Bah. No fun at all. I'm considering Apple's suggestion of writing a custom modeler, which is more work, but then I can do whatever I want. (That said, for the moment, I'm going to just accept that the duration is in the label and the detail table.)

@rtfeldman A good proxy is the discount banks are offering in order to sell the loans they made. Reports of up to 40% discounts. https://t.co/iYFUJaQvul Normally they're sold at very close to par (see https://t.co/zfz3KnAQZ1.)

[Rob Napier - @[email protected] @cocoaphony]

@FakeUnicode Any chance you have thoughts on this question? It's an interesting one, and maybe you have an answer better than my comment. https://t.co/ZHboFvJLDi
