Its behavior for applications which use a GUI is unspecified by Apple (afaik) which means it could break at any time. Among other problems: Dock icon weirdness (no bouncing, status changes are strange) your app won't show up in the "Recent

It's important to point out that doing this is a bad idea (as the author of the article notes.) The behavior specified by this plist value is meant for daemon processes. Google is using it because they run daemon processes for the window re

Well, on iPhone, it would get deallocated with the next pool drain, not garbage collected (since garbage collection does not exist for iPhone as of now.) foo = myshinyobject is ok if you use instantiate it like [[SomeClassThing alloc] inite

You're right, I should have said that Texas chose to drill their oil.

You're overthinking it. Silicon Valley provides good models for building businesses. The state and local governments are masters of burning money and getting nothing from it. As a taxpayer in California, I cannot track where most of my mone

I really hope this goes somewhere. I think there's a good chance they'll be able to make it difficult to attack this client to the point that other targets (Flash, Java, QuickTime, etc) will be easier to do damage with. And native code in t

This makes sense and it could work :) I imagine you would have to spend time tuning the tokens you map out. I think this would break down pretty quickly with moderate or complicated regexes, but those might not be the majority of searches.

Quote is unrelated to what you are saying! use MapReduce to expand the regex over the keys So we have a hash table of words/searches -> results Because we have this, we can regex search the keys, and end up with the result pages. ..

really tasteless (and unfitting) comparison. and your blog is ugly.

very proper and well written, with detached and unspecific wording. a general sense of disapproval towards americans and japanese. an implication that people have a misunderstanding of the world in terms of governance and foreign perception

legitimate question: are you one of the information/opinion disseminators under charge of the Chinese government? i'm not trying to be a dick, i really am curious. i'm not so closed-minded as to disregard what was written in your post, rath

You don't necessarily up/down people on HN because you agree or disagree with them. It's about contributing to discussion.

This sounds cool, but I think I will just make a jumble if I try to actually use it. What I like most about closures in most languages is how quickly it lets you work. In C, I don't want to work quickly. I need to be methodical and pay clos

DVI can carry HDCP just fine. In fact, if you have a recent desktop display with a DVI port, there's a good chance it has HDCP. And if you're running a recent version of Windows with a recent graphics card, there's a good chance you're actu

This is actually one of the best intros to Unicode (and string encoding in general) I've seen. If the rest of the book ends up being of this quality, I'll be pretty pumped.

I actually think #1 is accurate – if you don't have any money, and you're already working on your product, then you obviously aren't burning through tons of cash just to stay operational. If developing your product is eating through cash, y
