Delphi and pascal are memory safe? That's news to me. I have created my fair share of buffer overruns and memory corruption in both of them (they were my first languages I programmed in)

I love these monthly progress reports. As a non game-programmer, there's not much of immediate use to me, but these writings give a great insight into the development of the project and sometimes they have really interesting and surpri

I can't be sure obviously, but if it's done once by the installer, there's no reason to assume it won't ever do it again. So in the worst case, you'll have to re-chown every time you install an update. Or you don&#x

you don't need to. You only need to if you have manually deleted /usr/local for some reason. /usr/local is exempt from system integrity protection. The only problem is that its owner gets reset to root on every OS u

The -R was a bit overkill - what's inside /usr/local should already have had the correct owner - the problem is the owner of /usr/local itself.

The only problem is that after the update, the /usr/local belongs to root again. That's easily fixed with a chown though. Apps still have access to the raw UNIX filesystem. The only restriction is that they can't write t

Binary diffs. But depending on the file, it might not really be of much help (I know for a fact that Adobe premiere projects for example are nearly completely different every time you save).

I'm not sure. The way I read this is that enterprises can disable Gatekeeper and then add a CA by which the binaries need to be signed. Gatekeeper seems to really be tied to Apple's CAs. Of course, if you're willing to downlo

How ironic that this bug affects the only really secure locking method. Neither the pattern nor the pin are really safe to protect a device as both are easily snoopable.

There is a proper roles system. But as a shortcut, roles are assigned by domain. It's either this or manually creating/accepting accounts if they need privileges other than the default. In this case, they could get away with the s

Yeah. I know. You could try heuristics and trick the user into pressing y or z early. Then you'll know what they probably have. But yeah - just asking is better and I'm really happy that you did

Thank you, thank you, thank you for the keyboard selection. So many cool web game demos assume querty which makes it really inconvenient or even impossible to play them without changing the keyboard layout in the OS, but that's asking

As far as I understand the on-demand loading, once downloaded assets do not get pruned until the device is under memory pressure. The feature also allows to pre-load assets in the background. So if the developers do the right job, then that

The AppleTV is intended to work as an always-connected device, so apps can reasonably be expected to download the assets as they are needed. iOS9 adds the on demand resources feature that does exactly that. According to https://d

I'm of two minds about this. In one way, I was updating Appcode, PhpStorm and IntelliJ once a year anyways, so this is going to be considerably cheaper. On the other hand, I liked the safety net that if worse comes to worst, I'll
