Tim Stone
Hm?

Apple automatic reference counting.
It's confusing.
iOS 5 doesn't make me call release manually anymore.
So why does that make me unhappy?
I am confused. How does this work on older versions of the OS?
 
Tim Stone
Tim Stone
Well, I assume that it doesn't work if your target is less than iOS5?
 
Moshe
Moshe
No. That's what I thought.
You can target the older OS. It's a compiler setting. I assume that the compiler generates the memory commands for me.
@TimStone does that make any sense?
 
Tim Stone
Tim Stone
Ah.
 
Moshe
Moshe
2:02 AM
Does that make sense?
I just want to make sure that I wrapped my head around this correctly.
 
Tim Stone
Tim Stone
Yeah, but I'm not entirely convinced that it would generate more efficient code in all cases.
 
Moshe

I didn't say it's more efficient. I just said that it's there.

No, they did :P

Well I am a bit edgy but I am about to give it a spin.

if app is crashing on one device but work fine on other devices will android market accept the android app
 
Octavian Damiean
Octavian Damiean
the market yes but it will most likely get bad reviews
 
ManjotSingh
ManjotSingh
it crashing on wildfire but works fine on all other devices
i am still there in memory management
now time to upload an app to market
 
Damodar
Damodar
5:50 AM
@ManjotSingh then its specific to one device, that will not create bad impresion
 
Octavian Damiean
Octavian Damiean
well it won't crash only on Wildfire, it will crash on a multitude of other devices as well then
 
ManjotSingh
ManjotSingh
i was also getting confuse how to test on all other devices
as i am having one device
it is impossible to test on all existing android mobiles
 
Octavian Damiean
Octavian Damiean
if it is due to memory being too low on that particular device then there something you should know, there are other devices with way less memory
quite a lot of devices actually
 
ManjotSingh
ManjotSingh
all devices have different screen size and different resolutions
how should i take a general approach that it will support all existing android devices
like mini Xperia have small screen size and Wildfire has large screen
 
Octavian Damiean
Octavian Damiean
don't hardcode dimensions, use relative dimensions and widgets
 
ManjotSingh
ManjotSingh
5:56 AM
all layouts are relative layout
 
Octavian Damiean
Octavian Damiean
but there is a whole article about that on the developer site
 
ManjotSingh
ManjotSingh
ya i read
the thing is how to test on all devices
 
Octavian Damiean
Octavian Damiean
I don't believe that you read the documentation on that otherwise you would've read the section How to Test Your Application on Multiple Screens and wouldn't have to ask.
 
ManjotSingh
ManjotSingh
ya this is on simulator
but how to test the memory case
i did it with different layouts
 
Octavian Damiean
Octavian Damiean
you can set the RAM used for the emulator instances
 
ManjotSingh
ManjotSingh
6:03 AM
i am having 98Mb RAM but heap memory is only 2.8Mb
so cant we increase this heap memory to some extent
can device have 1Mb RAM?

SD card memory is similar to RAM

no

can you tell me how to set RAM used for the emulator instances?

i read which is in need

@ManjotSingh I work a lot with virtualization (Xen mostly) .. so I'm confined to an 8MB ceiling (combined) for the tools I write.
@ManjotSingh I also work ( side projects for extra money ) on Kiosks and similar things
 
ManjotSingh

Great
I dont have much time to work extra for money.

@TimPost side projects... where can approah for side projects for extra money

@Damodar Honestly, the best way? Blog your adventures solving interesting problems, side jobs will find you.

ManjotSingh
ManjotSingh
@TimPost so how is it related with Kiosks
 
Tim Post
Tim Post
@OctavianDamiean My only complaint is that it's hard to receive them internationally. I think listing as 'microcontroller' on the package is problematic
 
Octavian Damiean
Octavian Damiean
heh yea :)
@ManjotSingh well almost 100%
 
Tim Post

@OctavianDamiean if it said "Computer part" it would sail through.

@TimPost do java also have side jobs?

@TimPost what is LISP language. I never heard about that

Lisp (programming language)
Lisp (or LISP) is a family of computer programming languages with a long history and a distinctive, fully parenthesized syntax. Originally specified in 1958, Lisp is the second-oldest high-level programming language in widespread use today; only Fortran is older (by one year). Like Fortran, Lisp has changed a great deal since its early days, and a number of dialects have existed over its history. Today, the most widely known general-purpose Lisp dialects are Common Lisp, Scheme, and Clojure. Lisp was originally created as a practical mathematical notation for computer programs, influenc...

M4 (computer language)
m4 is a general purpose macro processor designed by Brian Kernighan and Dennis Ritchie. m4 is an extension of an earlier macro processor m3, written by Ritchie for the AP-3 minicomputer. Use All UNIXes make the m4 macro processor available, and POSIX has standardized it. Most users requires m4 simply as a dependancy of GNU autoconf, used by "configure" scripts, although the language can, and is, used stand-alone. A macro processor (or a preprocessor) operates as a text-replacement tool. End-users often employ it to re-use text templates, typically in programming applications, but also...

@Damodar Escrow is where your client has agreed to a price and deposited the funds in an account where he or she can't withdraw
 
Damodar

@TimPost oh that cool for transcations
 
Tim Post
Tim Post
@Damodar When you complete the project, the client releases the escrow. If there is a dispute, an arbitrator is involved.
 
Damodar
Damodar
@TimPost ok.. this could help us from fake clients
 
Tim Post
Tim Post
@Damodar This gives you the security of knowing that the person has the money to actually pay you. However, beware of unreasonable clients.
@Damodar most freelance sites provide an escrow service.
 
Damodar
Damodar
@TimPost sure, but how can we identify them?
 
Tim Post
Tim Post
8:03 AM
@Damodar That's a bit of an art. The first clue is a serious heightened sense of urgency. For instance, "I NEED THIS DONE IN TWELVE HOURS!"
 
Damodar
Damodar
@TimPost ya before i used to use one site , oDesk
 
Tim Post
Tim Post
@Damodar The second clue is a client who obviously can't do it themselves, but seems to be sure regarding how long it should take.
 
Damodar
Damodar
@TimPost ok
 
Tim Post
Tim Post
@Damodar E.g. "This should take no more than 2 1/2 hours to complete"
Avoid those people like the plague.

Damodar
@TimPost ya they showing us ICE Cream with such offers, i will not believe those. I feel he is unkown before he provide work to me , i feel same even if he give me some work ... long back before my marriage i registered to oDesk its a freelancer site
 
Tim Post
Tim Post
When dealing with freelance work, get a clear scope, solidify it, specify in your bid how much changes to the scope will cost per hour and stick strictly to your agreement.
Your client is almost never your friend, in fact, you should not be working for friends, that's a great way to lose them.
 
Damodar
Damodar
but i never get any oppertunity fo work, had twice interview with clients thats it.. after i got married , i left that, as there is no time to work on side business.
@TimPost you are right, if we feel as friends, then we need to compromise
 
Tim Post
Tim Post
@Damodar The trick is to be very selective. Only accept work from people who understand your schedule. After a year, you have about 10 people feeding you jobs consistently, which usually take a few hours or less.
I still have a client who subscribed to my BBS in the early 90's.
 
Damodar
Damodar
@TimPost ok i will keep in mind all your suggestion, those are very valuable to people who are interested to work as part time at home
thats great

to this 
^              # begins at start of body

A: Should 'Hi', 'thanks' and taglines and salutations be removed from posts?

Jeff AtwoodWe now automatically remove salutations from posts as they are entered. I got really tired of performing this edit over and over, so anything matching the form of … ^ # begins at start of body \s* # possible spaces ( hi(?![a-z])| # any of these greeting words he...

tombull89
tombull89
Do you mean dual boot with OSX or on a Mac?
 
ManjotSingh
ManjotSingh
how?

...
dual boot means when you start your computer up you have the choice of two operating systems, in this case Ubuntu and Mac OS X.
not at the same time, no. It requires a reboot.
 
ManjotSingh
ManjotSingh
VMware will help for this ?
 
Loïc Wolff
Loïc Wolff
At the same time, you would have to run Ubuntu on a virtual machine
yes, VMware Fusion for example
 
tombull89
tombull89
Or VirtualBox.
 
Loïc Wolff
Loïc Wolff
or Virtual Box if you're looking for a free solution
 
ManjotSingh
ManjotSingh

ManjotSingh
ManjotSingh

Loïc Wolff
Loïc Wolff

ManjotSingh
ManjotSingh
how?
 
Loïc Wolff
Loïc Wolff
well, go to virtual box website, install virtual box for mac, mount ubuntu iso and install like any other OS
 
tombull89
tombull89
A virtual machine is, in very basic terms, an OS Emulator.
 
Loïc Wolff
Loïc Wolff
12:53 PM
pretty straightforward, everything is well explained and graphical
no dark magic command lines
 
tombull89
tombull89
Between SuperUser and VirtualBox forums it's fairly quick to get running.
 
ManjotSingh
ManjotSingh
ok
means is it legal to use VirtualBox
 
Loïc Wolff
Loïc Wolff
yes
 
tombull89
tombull89
yes, VirtualBox is freeware.
 
ManjotSingh
