At-will employment wouldn't make sense in professional sports. Imagine a team that got eliminated in the first round of the playoffs. A player could give two weeks notice and then join a team that was still competing.

The log viewer and query tools looks excellent. Here are some (hopefully) constructive comments: - As others have mentioned, change the NS prefix. Only Apple should be using that. - The API is not canonical looking Objective-C/Cocoa. It l

"I don't know when or where I am being called from, or what the state is of the rest of the program at this time." Gotcha. A parent object should own a child object. The parent can directly call a method on a child. The child object sho

Boost bind and fast delegates do certainly suck. (I used to work in games in a past lifetime.) But this is most certainly a C/C++ problem. In Objective-C, the @protocol keyword gives the language first class delegation and works really, r

I didn't work on DoW2 but I worked on CoH. The core AI engine was similar. CoH added features to improve group pathfinding and pathfinding for when terrain changed, etc. I don't remember all of the details since this was 5 or 6 years ago

Interesting strategy. They're pulling out profile, place, friends views into an SDK. Looks like they are going to try to be THE profile view, place view, and friend view for each App on your phone.

Nope. iOS 6 adds auto layout to Interface Builder and Core Layout to the runtime. You'll either start at the largest resolution and setup constraints as the screen size shrinks or at the smallest resolution and do the opposite.

In the Objective-C/Cocoa world, Operations are encapsulated using the Receptionist Pattern. http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Genera... And Events are handled with a combination of Key-Value Observing and UI binding.

Java is a language that is in a weird space. It doesn't compile to binary like C/C++ and it isn't high-level and interpreted like a Ruby or Python. It's a weird middle-times language. It originally appeared in 1995 and is somewhat pioneeri

You should be stripping your binary of symbols. (-strip-all, -s) I used the word "inspect" carefully. Apple is probably looking for calls to private APIs by looking at the addresses of functions called in your binary with the addresses of

Apple does not inspect your source code when an App is submitted. They only inspect the binary and the metadata of an App.

Sorry but this is not 'ideal', this is Capacity Planning 101. If you're launching a new product which you expect to be very popular, take your peak traffic and double or quadruple it and build out infrastructure to handle it ahead of time.

I eat a 6 egg, mushrooms, and bell peppers omelet for breakfast topped with salsa. I highly recommend it. I feel much better than the days I have oatmeal for breakfast. And it takes less than 5 minutes to prepare.

First of all, all compilers are buggy because all software is buggy. Software has bugs. Deal with it. Second of all, if you are using alloca to allocate memory on the stack you are asking for trouble. There are so many filthy corner case
