Breaking Changev41 - Liquid GlassholeI've made it! I'm over the hump! I'm actually writing* my language-learning app in Swift!
Send an email expressing how proud you are of me to podcast@searls.co. Or if there's any news worth following that isn't about AI. Too much AI stuff lately.
*And by "I'm writing", I admit Claude Code is doing a lot of the heavy lifting here.

iOSDevLog399. nshipster-NSCoding : NSKeyedArchiverhttp://nshipster.cn/nscoding/NSCoding / NSKeyedArchiverMattt Thompson撰写、 Yu Jin翻译、 发布于2013年5月13日在构建应用程序时，一个重要的架构决策问题是在每次启动之间如何持久化数据。问题是如何精准的重现最后一次关闭应用前的状态；如何描述对象图以使下次完美地重新构建。在 iOS 和 OS X 上， 苹果提供了两种选择 ：Core Data 或 NSKeyedArchiver / NSKeyedUnarchiver （用来将遵循 的类序列化）或者更确切地说：有三种选择，如果你算上NSURLCache的话. 在client-server应用场景下，在每次启动时加载必要的数据是一种可行的设计，尤其是结合磁盘缓存，存储服务器的响应，这样当发送对应请求的时候可以立即返回。在实践中，网络层和对象层上的缓存结合是可取的。当涉及到建模，查询，遍历，持久化复杂的对象图，那Core Data是无可代替的。Core Data 是把大锤子，但不是所有的问题都是足够大的钉子。Core Data 和 NSKeyedArchiver客观和常见的比较可能是这样的：Core Data NSKeyedArchiverEntity Modeling Yes NoQuerying Yes NoSpeed Fast SlowSerialization Format SQLite, XML, or NSData NSDataMigrations Automatic ManualUndo Manager Automatic Manual等等。在这场对决中，没有什么可比性，它看起来是一边倒的局势。...也就是说，直到你从一个稍微不同的角度看它：Core Data NSKeyedArchiverPersists State Yes YesPain in the Ass Yes No通过这些对比，在某些情况下NSKeyedArchiver是一个完全合理的选择。并非所有的应用程序需要查询的数据。并非所有的应用程序需要自动迁移。并非所有的应用程序处理大型或复杂的对象图。而且应用中确实是有一些模块更好地被一个简单的方案解决。这篇文章将关注如何，何时，为什么选择NSKeyedArchiver 和 NSCoding。希望能提供给亲爱的读者们以启发选择最合适的工具。NSCoding 是一个简单的协议，有两个方法： -initWithCoder: 和 encodeWithCoder:。遵循NSCoding协议的类可以被序列化和反序列化，这样可以归档到磁盘上或分发到网络上。举个例子：Objective-C@interface Book : NSObject @property NSString *title;@property NSString *author;@property NSUInteger pageCount;@property NSSet *categories;@property (getter = isAvailable) BOOL available;@end@implementation Book#pragma mark - NSCoding- (id)initWithCoder:(NSCoder *)decoder { self = [super init]; if (!self) { return nil; } self.title = [decoder decodeObjectForKey:@"title"]; self.author = [decoder decodeObjectForKey:@"author"]; self.pageCount = [decoder decodeIntegerForKey:@"pageCount"]; self.categories = [decoder decodeObjectForKey:@"categories"]; self.available = [decoder decodeBoolForKey:@"available"]; return self;}...

We also discuss fonts for coders & console use. Apparently Moore's Law is dead and we touch on the iPad Pro in use. The absence of Americans on the show devolves into a discussion of the weather and where to get a good poutine. More than just code, folks!
