Newsletter #3 - Understanding the RunLoop model Oct 4 2019

Hello,

This week I spent some time away from the computer relaxing and visiting San Francisco. Had such a good time with friends I haven’t seen in a long time.

This week’s post was about understanding the RunLoop. We used a basic shell implementation to show how to use different input sources on our RunLoop. There are not many examples on how to do this, and I feel that the RunLoop is central to the macOS architecture, and understanding it helps us design better applications.

Newsletter #2 - Using BSD Sockets in Swift Sep 27 2019

This week was fun. It was the first time I got an award for one of my posts on Reddit. It’s always fun to receive messages from people that find my posts useful.

You can see the post with the little badges on top :) here:

I usually share my posts on Reddit. I find it less cluttered with random posts (unless you subscribe to random subreddits). I don’t use Twitter much, but I think I’ll start using it as Seth Godin uses Twitter, mostly a feed for the blog. I want to share more content but spending time on Twitter takes time from researching and writing. So I’ll probably won’t pay much attention to it. Anyways, let me know if you have any thoughts on using Twitter.

Newsletter #1 - Objective-C and Swift Interoperability and Mach-O executables Sep 20 2019

Hello,

Another week has gone by trying to figure out how computers work under the hood, and also enjoying dark mode on iOS. I hope you are enjoying the update too. Everything went smooth on the update, the only problem I had was with my reminders.

I make heavy use of reminders, both on my phone and on my laptop. So you can imagine, I was all excited tapping yes to every new popup on my phone. And I didn’t pay attention to the warning for Reminders. If you update to the new reminders, you won’t be able to see them in macOS until you upgrade to Catalina. My advice, make sure you won’t be needing your reminders on macOS before tapping “upgrade”.
