With the new frameworks in ios17 it’s clear that Apple is slowly converging on providing the tools for easily compiling for Mac and iPad from the same codebase.
I’ve been using the Go version of Encore for the past year. Overall it’s been really pleasant, a few rough edges that their team helped resolve, but it saved so much time on Ops that it was well worth it.
Roughly 20% faster than the original M1 Max, which scored ~2400 on single core.
As mentioned elsewhere it’s 10% faster than the M2 Max. This is really an impressive step up each year compared to what came before. If Apple continues this trend I’ll probably upgrade every 2 years.
Hmm, I was of the opposite impression. Not much of an upgrade. The big change was going to Mx, mainly in battery time / power usage. But no big need to upgrade if you have M1, for instance.
Thank you for the memory of 2adv. I spent a significant amount of time in high school reverse engineering their SWF file to understand how to do animations like that in flash.
It's not that large of a benefit, but when performing tests comparing two objects, I sometimes pass the wrong object type in. Most of the times this is happening, I'm refactoring existing code and updating tests as I go. It would be nice to see all the errors at compile time (and therefore in my editor's problems/quickfix view) rather than having to run the full test suite to find all the tests I forgot to update.
I think it's possible to keep the implementation of testify almost (or exactly) the same, but update the type signatures of the methods to use generics, and shift-left a lot of errors to compile time. Just a nice-to-have.
