You're not going to like it :) Rather than use typeof, CPObject has a runtime feature for asking about its class ( https://github.com/280north/cappuccino/blob/master/Foundatio... ). Because we also do "toll-free bridging", you can ask if st

Amusingly (to me at least) the only thing Objective-J really addresses from that list is 'typeof', which we have a much better replacement for :).

It seems perhaps as disingenuous to think that because you know a (very) little bit about the Lodsys issue that the anecdote that all of a products profits can be consumed is true even in this instance. After all, Apple has been standing up

But, in the hypothetical counter example where the prosecution had evidence of you using the encrypted volume (let's say, a convincing photograph or video), would you then grant the prosecution the right to compel the decrypted information?

As companies get larger the likelihood that they are well managed decreases significantly.

He may very well be a nice guy, but as a journalist his behavior is pretty questionable. It isn't as if the Caterina Fake incident is the first. He's a professional, he ought to behave like one.

Pretty cool. We've been using macros in the Cappuccino source code for years, but we were too lazy to write our own macro processor so we just use the GCC preprocessor. Relying on GCC being available turns out to work pretty well.

Presumably most or all of these services will let you rotate your secret key, and Instapaper will do that. Assuming it was done rather quickly, then there would be no practical risk of unwanted access for any of the OAuth accounts. If the s

And not servers hosted in other countries? I'd be very curious to hear the thought process behind that decision.

And version 1 of Chrome already had most of the things people consider as modern anyway.

What's the problem with HTTP Basic auth over HTTPS?

by boucher 15y ago
Absolutely not true. The most interesting features in the Web Inspector are Chrome specific, largely because they are V8 specific for the moment.

Well it certainly hasn't been standard for all that long. I do not have dates handy, but I can remember a time in the not too distant past where Safari was the only browser that processed color profiles. It was actually a huge pain in the a

Many employers operating outside of California have a policy very similar to the California law. There are some companies with even more generous policies, though I'm not familiar with any major tech companies with a more generous policy.

You're misreading the law. As an example, if you work for a software company that makes iPhone games, and you write an iPhone game in your spare time and with your own resources, that game could be at risk of being owned by your employer. I

I'm not actually sure if the idea of templates alone is that much of a departure, I could see something template like working in Cappuccino (a more human readable version of a XIB perhaps), but relying on HTML and CSS is something I'm obvio

It strikes me as less than brave, especially when you consider that 1.0 and 1.5 were also essentially backwards incompatible rewrites. This update seems to move SproutCore away from what made it unique and towards something that mostly rese

And of course that vulnerability would not exist here, in that the information would not web accessible, but rather only accessible to the local operating system.

Of course, OAuth is also vulnerable to phishing in a "trusted" browser, when you're talking about average users who don't really understand how it works. One interesting way to provide "trust" would be to have a system wide "OAuth" view (or

Absolutely. Any page in the process served without SSL introduces a vulnerability. None of that is explicitly within the scope of PCI.

Except, that's not what the author said. He said "practically" that.

Apple will almost certainly defend these people. It would be a major setback for their platform if they allowed these lawsuits to be lost. In fact, even just making it to court would be a pretty major problem for them.

Honestly, your idea probably isn't that great. Even if it truly is, these things tend to have pretty short half lives. By the time it accidentally made its way to another startup through a YC partner you'll probably have had a lot of opport

Weinre also works where this currently does not (on mobile devices where you generally can't just run a custom version of the browser for testing purposes).

You can still have a null pointer exception.

It's not exactly fair to call either technique pointers, but the original could be useful for more things than just this (though this is probably the intended use case). The linked article, however, makes no sense. The author does not seem

That strikes me as a pretty indefensible statement. Objective-C has an incredibly powerful runtime, which is nearly as flexible as the ruby runtime. It's also much much faster than ruby, and probably every other popular dynamic language.

Scrolling the scroll views in this demo is unusably slow on my macbook pro (Safari 5, OS X 10.6).
