I just had weird experience. I approved an edit on one of my questions and I only have 127 rep on the site. @JasonSalaz @NathanGreenstein @KyleCronin Do you know how I did that?
Does anyone do web development on here - not website design, but development?
Also, if anyone is interested in participating in some brainstorming with regards to the setting up of a fundraising website, please get in touch on twitter or similar - Cheers.
Also, if you hate "free", and grumble when Instagram (for example) sell out because it's their only way to actually, you know, earn money, I want to chat :)
@stuffe re web development: yes, but if you're looking for a collaborator, I've already got an internship for this summer and probably won't have lots of time...
But I have a more generalised issue with "free", whereby services that are free generally have no way to earn money than to get bought.
I had an idea to set up a site where if you would like to pay $2 a month for Twitter, then because you can't pay Twitter, you could pay into a fund that raises money, and the money that is raised is owned by the people who pay in.
The point being not not to raise money for twitter, but to raise some money that can be used for any purpose, as decided by democratic means by the contributors, but intended to be in the areas of either raising awareness of the whole "if you are not paying you are the product), or maybe helping out small developers with a "grant" to help avoid needing ads in Apps etc.
@jtbandes Not so much an internship, but I am thinking of trying to get a bunch of guys to brainstorm the idea in general, and see where it goes from there.
You dontate $, and can split it out. I had an idea that you might donate $10, split it out between what you might like to pay for Twitter, Tumblr (basically any of the free services that have no revenue other than ads), and you havea fun system whereby you can see what people in the system would have paid for each service, but then we choose to use the money for some other good cause.
As a sort of mutual fund yes. I would happily pay $10 a month for a selection of free services I use daily, and if there are a few hundred others who are lucky enough (3rd world problems!) to not even think twice about throwing a couple of coffees worth a month into such a scheme and be part of a fun benevolent society it could be a lot of fun, both doing the actual mechanics, but also giving the money away
This is my first Mac application.
I would like to send emails by comparing the current date and saved date of clients by the user in sqlite only one time- every day depending on the condition, asynchronously.
Note: I'm assuming that by "asynchronous" you mean "do this whether or not the user is logged in and running the application at 9:30 am".
The right way to do this is to register a call with launchd that handles the appropriate work for your application. When and how you do this is somewhat flexi...
I'll let those that truly care about the question attempt to salvage it. I respect Ian's efforts at answering it, but I would have voted to close and moved on.
There are a few different states an iOS device might be in when one wants to capture a memory really fast:
Power off, with a PIN or password screen
Power off, no PIN or password, but need to "slide to unlock"
Power on - on springboard (no app running, looking at app icons)
Power on - in an app

My initial response is that it's pretty much asked and answered. You put your favorite camera app in the App Bar and you do your best. There is no magic potion that's going to improve things.
@MathiasBynens Good point. Also, if mine ships from my local online store (in order to get the correct plug), I kind hope it isn't because I intend to attempt to take it back to an Apple Store and swap it for a 32Gb one!
@stuffe With all the @2x images, you’d think that a Retina display iPad requires ± twice the storage of a non-Retina display. So, a 16 GB iPad 2 (before the Retina iPad era) ≈ a 32 GB “new iPad”.
With the new iPad being released with the Retina display, many apps are being updated with new graphics and images to enable native resolution images to be displayed.
However, with increasing resolutions comes the resultant increase in image file sizes. Your definition of what constitutes doubl...
As you see, in anticipation, I was trying to work out if I could survive on a 16Gb one, given that I would only use it for apps, no audio, no video, no pics other than that which I shoot on the built-in camera.
Graphics are 4× as large (in file size), but app bundles contain the old @1x images too. So the total size of images gets about 5× as large as it used to be, now that there’s a Retina iPad.
Indeed. Luckily not all Apps are bitmapped. Larger apps (games) are often vector based anyway (although the textures they use may still be increased). So it depends on the app how bad the effect is.
*"Threaded compositing Mac, Windows, Linux, Chrome OS Uses a secondary thread to perform web page compositing. This allows smooth scrolling, even when the main thread is unresponsive"*
@stuffe @gentmatt What was the conclusion on that 16GB vs. 32GB discussion? I have heard that app sizes are getting huge nowadays, but I don't know how much it'd matter to me.
@jtbandes I am not sure, but I would imagine so, if it's not faulty, they can hardly sell it again without replacing the back and then it would likely be classed refurbished
imovie is taking a lot of space.
Things like Instacast take up a lot in cached podcasts
@gentmatt Rdio can take up a ton of space on my phone if I download songs for offline listening. It's the biggest data hog on my iDevices usually. I don't really run games...
Unfortunately, you can only count iPad or iPhone apps at once, and you can't see a combined total. You can't add them, as universal apps wreck that math.
@stuffe Oh, too bad.
Use a computer then.
@jtbandes Oh cool! I have Bump but I wasn't aware of that functionality!
