Another thought. Turn on the computer, turn it into something that frees you. And if you want to be a little less selfish, make it something that frees more than just you. (bye for…

Good job, and I regret to hear that it seems you were given some bad advice from authority. There's a lesson I learned at around 12 or so, good to learn sooner than later. Don't tr…

nijk, I'd like to upvote your comment, but you've been hellbanned. For those who can't see the dead; "We have no need for 7 billion Einsteins. Humanity is a team project."

Context, sir! We can't help if we aren't provided sufficient nouns and verbs.

Start with smaller projects, something simple based on either what you already know, or an existing lesson/blog/book. Then adjust it a little bit, work iteratively, towards the new…

I use -drawRect any time I need a UIView's CGContext. For everything else, I use -layoutSubviews. When you do anything in Core Animation in -drawRect, that throws all drawing on CP…

Keep calm. Reach out to people, old and new. Plan, and work towards a better tomorrow. Do not give in to fear. Be sure to call your parents at least once a day. It makes a differen…

You may be in luck, sir or ma'am. It looks like the one man army behind Mobiruby found a copy; https://github.com/mobiruby/BridgeSupport Which he found from a really neat looking a…

Which is what I meant by "within the bundle of your app." That may have been a bit too iOS developer-centric, I apologize. In Foundation, [NSBundle mainBundle] returns a reference …

As I recall, BridgeSupport created indexes to C symbols, enumerations and functions by producing XML files [1] that corresponded to C APIs like CoreGraphics, and code you produced …

That's fair. This does save one ugly, extra step that I didn't mention, which would be to call into the Objective-C runtime's C API [1] to dispatch messages and introspect Objectiv…

Functionally, this appears to be identical to JavaScriptCore's longstanding C bridge [1]. If Objective-C isn't your preference, there's nothing stopping you from calling into the C…

Just one nitpick for an excellent comment. GNUstep/Clang would be the only way to get support for array, dictionary and number literals, as well as ARC. GNUstep/GCC is possible, bu…

That's a good observation, some inefficiencies are quite intentional. I didn't even know that about Linux until just the other night, when I was looking for non-GNU GPL projects th…

Interesting. Do you have details on which jurisdictions do not allow this, and why? I admit that I'm not familiar with international copyright law. I do know that several GNU proje…

Ideally, a well-organized project would have a copyright assignment process to resolve those sorts of issues. However, as far as I know you're right. If there's no clear authority …

It's possible, though it depends on the wishes of the original authors. Stockfish Chess [1] is the one GPL v3 licensed app that I know of which has been available for... quite some…

WindowMaker split off from the GNUstep project quite some time ago, IIRC. They don't even use Objective-C, they use their own framework for widgets built on WM called "WINGs." Ther…

Is this the one? http://nextstuff.info/mirrors/ftp.peak.org/next/apps/games/m... (tar.gz file)

> They need a vastly bigger space, or multiple conferences throughout the year, or a higher price, or something to manage the insane demand, if they actually want to improve this s…

I believe that's true, regarding Developer Relations. I did get into a Tech Talk one year that was sold out through a large media company, thanks to that. However, that's a tricky …

Back in 2011, there was one guy who waited a few minutes before deciding to purchase, checked the site again minutes later. Then Apple gave the "we're all sold out" message. He goe…

Moscone North alone would be an improvement from Moscone West. Heck, just take over all of Moscone for the week! I've been told the reason the event has been kept small is to maint…

Well, every year's a full house. It used to be a great event where you could meet people in IT, web developers, Objective-C developers, Mac developers and iOS developers. Now, it's…
