https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Cocoa... Security scoped bookmarks allow persistent access to a filesystem resource. That's the only one I'm aware of, but it's a major upgrade.

Those first two and following aren't equivalent, are they? Wouldn't they compile, respectively, to: objc_msgSend(self, @selector(bar)); And: objc_msgSend(self, @selector(performSelector:), @selector(bar)); ?

On one hand, it's nice, and it'll make coding in Obj-C nicer. On the other hand, it strengthens the coupling between Objective-C the language the Cocoa the framework, and I'm not sure how I feel about that. I do like it better than the prop

This is one of the reasons I decided to move to New York instead, after having lived in the suburbs for my entire life, I just couldn't take it anymore. There are so many more things to do in Williamsburg (where I live now) and the easily a

Actually, it's not draggable either, so it's now (at least) a CSS background image, on a <span>. I'm not sure if it was an <img> inside <a> up until today or not, but in that case, I suppose you could say that CSS wa

Probably to make Xcode as MAS-compliant as possible? Dogfood and all.

Regardless of whether or not it drives itself (although it's an improvement), I still find the idea of owning a car very unappealing, and it still doesn't give the suburbs a soul.

I've received a rejection for using a "private" ivar (it was actually a framework doing it). The ivar was in a public header, and was not marked @private, which is the only correct way to designated an ivar as private in Objective-C. Putt

Is there any reason not to make zsh the default? Better license, better shell.

Well, I use Xcode because the performance loss in writing Objective-C without autocompletion is larger than the performance gain from using vim. However, navigation is just so painful , and "awful" is really being kind about Xcode's find/r

This would actually be pretty easy to do (for someone on Hacker News). You could do it with the real API, but it could also probably be done with a few lines of Javascript pasted into the URL bar on your profile. Any takers?

Almost anything is a step up from "hi there, I'm AJ3F532FDSAD. In this game. What's your name?"* * you can't actually ask them that, since you can't talk.

Buy an iPhone. Joking. But the Timeline view in the iOS app places all items in a single column. That said, Facebook has basically become a place where I sync my tweets and other services like Instagram so that people that I know who don't

This isn't really a good measure. Given the same income, a single person is much better off than a family of 5.

Honestly, while it's "cool" conceptually (because of the electric thing), I find the Tesla styling pretty repulsive compared to a Mini or Smart Car, both of which I consider pretty adorable (and I hate cars).

I associate cars with constant paranoia. Will I run out of gas, will my tire explode because I forgot to put enough air in it (or put too much), will I lose focus for a second and kill a family of four? If I leave my car somewhere, will it

The TV studios are all behind SOPA as well, so canceling cable in general isn't a bad idea. As a side benefit you no longer have to watch TV. :) Maybe that's a "young person thing" though. My parents watch a decent amount of TV, the only ch

I like Twitter because it is simple[1]. 140 char messages, reverse chronological order. That's it . [1] I use Twitter for Mac, the website is kind of a mess actually.
