Valgrind Works with OS X nowadays. Plus, Xcode has the benefit of Clang's Static Analysis being built right in . You really can't beat checking one box and having it automatically scan over your code when you build to point out a lot of

Is it really fair to compare the amount of headaches that an OS that came out in the middle of 1998 (and isn't even supported by the vendor anymore) gives with the amount that an OS that was just released this past year would give?

Are people who spend all day helping animals get better naturally weird? How about those that spend all day looking at tax forms? Every job has its quirks. People tend to choose jobs where they have quirks that fit. This isn't exclusive to

That would be a fun idea. I'd probably buy it right away and start using it more then Tweetie (leave it open in the background while doing other work and just passively hear tweets). Incase anyone does want to do this, Apple doesn't directl

You already said it: But Apple can't find the margins in the product line and the equation means that they have no offering for this huge hole in their lineup. It won't have a good profit margin. Why should Apple waste time on it? They ha

How many people that install osx86 actually buy a copy of OS X and then modify everything as necessary themselves? It seems like its far more common to find it online and then complain when it breaks.

But I think the exception to Apple's behavior is that there are large numbers of customers who would be more than happy to fork over another wad of cash for an Apple branded netbook (in addition to their existing systems) and Apple has (ye

The good people contribute to Darwin and the other core Apple projects and their code ends up in mainline os x. Could you link to some commits on Macosforge that were based on patches by people from osx86? This is the first I'm hearing of

One could perfect this to an art really. Get your ip to start changing, have Chromium open on a hotkey, use ctrl+shift+n to go incognito (or just have it auto-load in incognito), have the poll set as your homepage. You can clock alot of vo

Perhaps. But more often than not it's an inherent complexity in the problem space itself. That isn't to say there is only ever one way of performing an action or that it is impossible to make it clearer how to perform a task. And if you m

It may just be me, but it seems like you're contradicting yourself with: There's very little software that supports both fly-by questions on the web, and proper discussion via e-mail, so we optimize for ourselves, not users. and Users do

Not to be a Negative Nancy® here, but the problem is that "You're Doing It Wrong." If you're just wanting to get your questions answered without any sort of input to the project, I think perhaps you're missing the spirit. Theres more reas

The answer to "would you pay?" for any dedicated, single-purpose consumer electronic: Yes. If the device did enough for me. I have a Kindle, which can only read documents. I still have and use an old iPod that can only play music (no game

Unfortunately, that method of detecting piracy doesn't work anymore. I (and a few others that I work with on an app) were hoping to be able to check Info.plist to detect if an app is pirated or not (for analytics; the app is open source any

The simplest one is to detect if the Info.plist has been modified as indicated in the previous section This doesn't work to detect piracy anymore. It hasn't for months.

And while I'm also uncomfortable at the gas station doing the same, I have a higher degree of confidence that the station is legitimate. Why can't a gas station use this software?

I think you missed the mark on Squirrel, completely. This is, to me, one of those things that you can show people and they'll think this is why I have a computer or cell phone . There is only one bank (USAA, http://www.nytimes.com/2009/08

Don't forget: BitTorrent is a business that Bram Cohen built. Their goal is to sell their product, in this case, uses of BitTorrent the protocol to companies. They can hardly do this if BitTorrent is being blocked everywhere. If they have s

I'm not saying that the problem is only a power users problem. Just that the proposed solution is. A simple toggle switch somewhere in Settings.app would work just fine. Or some other solution. Just not this particular solution, a multifi

Where else is there an "Only for power users" feature in iPhone OS? There's no precedent for this sort of behavior in the iPhone's UI anywhere. No other built-in app has that kind of setting. The closest that I can think of is the developer

If I had to guess, I would say that user accounts are part of Darwin, not Aqua. If that is the case, you can still view (and modify) the source code.

The iPhone's accessibility makes use of a lot of the two finger gestures already. Not this one, but most others. http://www.apple.com/iphone/how-to/index.html#accessibility.... . This particular gesture doesn't really make sense for Apple

I'm just puzzled by people who seem to think that this is so important or that mac ownership is a substantial hurdle to iPhone app development. Because it is a substantial hurdle. The hurdle comes down to: Do you want to be able to test y

Why couldn't Adobe do this on their own? They have the money to throw at smart engineers if they feel the need to. And its not exactly like a lot of what they needed was completely undocumented; ARM and Mach-o binary formats, how to link ag

You can find an Intel Mac Mini for ~300 on eBay. Its not terribly expensive or hard to get set up. All I'm saying is that you may still need a Mac if you intend to put your app on the app store (or on your own device if you don't jailbreak)

In short: no Mac required for developing iPhone apps. flash games which are extremely easy/quick to develop can be ported into iphone apps. Remains to be seen. You still have to sign applications to submit them to the app store. Adobe h

I did get that. What I didn't get was why it only showed the relevant svn commands, not how to do the same thing in git for all the items listed (ie: for "Find all authors"; format of an authors file? a link to git's docs? or how about reco

I'm not much of a GTD person, at least not as far as all the core principles go. I guess I follow them in some way, but I've never read any book or blog post and went and restructured how I'm organized. What I do: I personally use Things.
