Agreed. I tried news:yc out for the first time yesterday and wound up deleting the app pretty quickly. The toolbar at the bottom was probably the biggest thing other I didn't like. It just felt wrong.

Manually installing an app in the simulator is the easy part. Slightly harder is running multiple copies of the simulator.

It isn't a blog, but I would highly recommend picking up a copy of iOS Recipes by Matt Drance and Paul Warren: http://pragprog.com/titles/cdirec/ios-recipes . It has a bunch of little tips and tricks in it on making your app work and behav

How is AppCode going to get any better than that? Either they're going to go the heuristics route, like Xcode 3 and below, and have all kinds of cases where they fail miserably, or they're going to hook into LLVM, and have no real insights

I mostly agree with you. The exception is the last paragraph. To me, the last paragraph reads along the lines of "Silly person, engineers can't design. Only a designer can add polish to something. Go back to your coding hole and don't e

`cp` for `cherry-pick` fits how I think about git and cherry-picking -- I'm copying a patch from one branch into another, aren't I?

The best thing I did to help me get into using git was set up some aliases, to make it at least pretend it was like Mercurial and only needed the bare minimum number of characters to complete a command (in ~/.gitconfig): [alias] st

Multitasking has been available since iOS 4.0. iOS 4.2 was the first version of iOS 4 to support the iPad, though.

This. I know a few people who have done this -- and have done something similar myself. Most colleges have an Art department that offers something like Graphic Design. I would personally suggest concentrating in something like Studio Art, r

politics? I don't think so. Economic inequality is a very interesting social phenomenon, though it is often written about in a heated/political way. The comments should count as much as the articles do in determining if a particular topic

Maybe flagged comments could be killed in a similar manner as flagged stories are, rather than just stopping them from getting any further upvotes.

I've always been partial to the binary watch[1] and the Rosendahl Watch[2] (but not enough to actually buy either one for myself -- I wear a non-digital watch myself[3].) Also, I know a few people who are wearing iPod Nano's on their wrist

Not everyone wants to be reached. Not everyone wants job offers or to become a cofounder for someone's startup. Of course, if you post a message trying to hire someone, you should have a way for prospective people to get in touch. But, stil

Look for sublets on Craigslist. You won't find a place to rent for that short of a duration, but you can find someone who is going on vacation for awhile and has a furnished apartment that they are willing to rent out. This is what I did wh

Fair enough. I can definitely see why chat history is important to have -- and Campfire does make that very easy to have. (And happy to hear you use Colloquy! :D)

I don't suppose it matters much at this point, but, have you tried a UI-based IRC client (like Colloquy for Mac or X-Chat for Linux)? I don't know about any clients on Linux, but, Colloquy (and most IRC clients for Mac, I suppose) use a Web

2. Is it time for Apple to consider a format to allow more people to attend? Their platform has grown 10x in 5 years, but the conference is still in the same facility. I hope not. Currently, the presentations are done by Apple engineers -

No you don't. You get warnings about not responding to the method if you put the method implementation after it is used. If it is before, it works fine. Example implementation: @implementation SomeClass - (void) foo { [self baz]; }

You can answer that question by looking at what the oldest 64-bit machine was and seeing how little ram you could buy one with.

Since Objective-C is a superset of C, it also gets compiled in a top-down fashion[1]. if you don't want to add a method to your interface (public or private), just put it above everything else that will use it. 1. I believe there is somethi

Yeah, EXIF tags have to be explicitly added to an image by the app (using CGImageDestinationSetProperties()), regardless of how a photo is taken. As an aside, I'm kind of surprised that there's no easy way to add EXIF data with AssetsLibrar

iTunes Connect is the last thing you should be using to know if your app actually crashes or not. I'd consider app reviews in the App Store to be more useful than iTunes Connect is to know if my app is crashing or not. iTunes Connect reli

Avie was responsible for a lot of the Darwin code. Bertrand for a lot of the Aqua and AppKit code from when it was still NeXT Workspace. He also ran the OS X team after Avie left Apple up until today.

The hardest part is convincing someone to spend any money. If you've done that, the difference between charging $1 and $5 isn't going to be much.
