<McMartin> I've been trying to collect official Apple documentation that is cited heavily by everyone including themselves, but that they took down at some point in the past six months <-- that reminds me of when I actually tried to do win32 dev, started bookmarking MSDN heavily since finding shit was a PITA. They changed all the URLs. Refound most things and rebookmarked them. Then they changed the URLs again, by which time I had already started looking into
11:09
< [R]>
Linux...
11:24
<@TheWatcher>
You actually bookmark things?!~
11:29
< [R]>
Used to
11:33
<&McMartin>
Yeah, this isn't just "changed all the URLs", this is "their own documentation isn't properly crossreferenced and the target document does not appear in their master search"
11:34
<&McMartin>
On the plus side, I have *also* located a MOD I had previously heard in several places but could not actually locate.
11:34
<&McMartin>
It is "Her 11", by Estrayk, most prominently featured in the Lyle in Cube Sector OST but apparently predating it.
11:34 * gnolam sighs.
11:35
<@gnolam>
I have just realized I pretty much have to make my own vector editor to properly implement this feature. >_<

< Wulfric>
Can you guys recommend a good advanced Swing tutorial? I know the basics (well, some of them), but it feels as though I'm gravely misusing the damn thing.
11:40
<&McMartin>
Sarcastic answer: "That means you're doing it right!"
11:40
<&McMartin>
Less sarcastic answer: I used to use it semi-extenisvely and I learned from the O'Reilly book "Java Swing"
11:40
<&McMartin>
Though that's also got a lot of reference in it; it is a Mighty Codex
11:43
<@TheWatcher>
Semi-sarcastic answer: does you code actually work and show the UI you want? If so, just go with it, because there is no sanity to be found by going further.
12:15
< Wulfric>
TheWatcher: No, it does not.
12:16
< Wulfric>
It's a mess, and that which works I don't know why it works.
12:20
<&McMartin>
Have you at least run through the Swing Tutorials on Oracle's docs site?
12:20
<&McMartin>
That's probably the "fastest" answer if you haven't
12:21

Not exactly. I've been running off half-remembered university material, and reference.
12:37
<&McMartin>
I'd have a spin through their tutorial then, skimming or slowing down when necessary. If nothing else it'll expose you to sample code that is Swing used as intended
12:38
< Wulfric>
OK.

One of their servers must have crashed
22:23
<&McMartin>
I'm kind of astonished that a server crash would result in documents being purged from your own internal search results
22:25
< [R]>
I could see that, assuming your search engine offloaded the work to all the storage servers and just consolodated the results
22:26
< [R]>
It's somewhat like what Google does... just lacking the insane redundancy that makes theirs work.
22:29
<&McMartin>
It also doesn't help when you're Apple and have a long and well-documented history of shoving two-year-old APIs entirely down the memory hole
22:30
<&McMartin>
"If we document it, people might use it, and we can't have that."
22:30
<&McMartin>
"We want them using Storyboards and Swift, let's purge all references to programmatically interfacing with UIKit in Objective-C"
22:30
<&McMartin>
Turns out the latter isn't quite on deck yet, but.
22:30
< [R]>
Eww
22:31
<&McMartin>
So I figured they'd just purged information about actually interoperating with View Controllers to get people to stop trying to do that, hence, archive.org
22:31
<&McMartin>
It appears that this time my cynicism was misplaced
22:31
< [R]>
This is why offline documentation wins.
22:32
<&McMartin>
There is in fact still no "introduction to iOS programming" document that is actually written for ObjC programmers now.
22:32
<&McMartin>
Sort of!
22:32
<&McMartin>
Apple has also made the mysterious choice of making most of the API reference basically be PDF
22:32
<&McMartin>
Except I can only find the PDF links when I load the same pages on archive.org, so I assume that is some kind of cookie or browser config thing.
22:33
< [R]>
Remember when offline documentation/help was called online documentation/help?
22:33
<&McMartin>
Sure, because you were at a computer.
22:33
< [R]>
:p
22:33
<&McMartin>
As opposed to facing an entire bookshelf full of identical spiral-bound notebooks
22:33
<&McMartin>
Not gonna lie - I'm old enough to remember those days, albeit as a child
22:33
<&McMartin>
I'm glad to have missed them. My paper references have always managed to fit in a backpack.
22:34
<&McMartin>
... A big backpack.
22:34 * McMartin is reminded how large the IBM DOS 2.1 + BASICA documentation was.
22:35
< [R]>
I miss backpacks, I'd never use the provided lockers, as such I'd go through 3 backpacks in 2 years.
