I noticed a new can and flavor for Coke Zero in Denmark in the last few months. Maybe it was a testbed for a larger rollout in the rest of the world? I'm not sure, but I vastly prefer the taste of the new version.
Not really. Jenkins allows a very fine control over jobs and steps orchestration. I realize it might appear as a dated glorified cron, but it's really not. There's nothing you cannot do with it, which is more than I can say about any other CI system I used.
Just a small note. The skeleton of the T-Rex named Tristan Otto is not in Berlin anymore. It is now on display at the Natural History Museum in Copenhagen. I saw it on Friday and it is quite spectacular!
The main difference is that with Parcelable you have two versions of your object (one persisted on disk and one in memory) while with Realm you are always working with your real data, not a representation of it.
Thank you for bringing the subject up! Importing data from JSON in a painless way is very high on the priority list. Right now we don't have an elegant solution for your specific use-case, but we're working on it so stay tuned!
Please feel free to join us in the mailing list as we would love to hear more about your project and help with it if possible!
I surely prefer a language that comes with HTML/JSON parsing in the standard library, as opposed as trying to find which library is better implemented, hoping it will keep being maintained.
I guess that's what attracted people to Python some ten years ago, as opposed to Perl. One can be sure that CPAN has a Perl library fit for your needs, but having such features in the standard library makes a big difference for a newcomer.
The same could be said in the devops context with Ansible vs Chef/Puppet. Ansible joined the game pretty late, but it's attracting a lot of users because of its "batteries included" philosophy. But this battle is still ongoing and only history will tell us the winner.
