Apparently some of the posts in the current view transcript of this room are really annoying Chrome right now
I hope that in the future some of them are gone. (for that matter, I hope it's those posts and not something else on my computer trying to self-destruct)
registry currently has the following wiki entry:
Windows registry is a place to save the configuration for hardware, software and the operating system (Windows). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Registry
so it's supposing that all the posts using it (1229 at the time of writing) are rel...

I propose to use well-used dashed-form for versions.
(@TimStone okay, I see now that the messages I'm referencing are actually from 11 hours ago... I only just read them all now. I guess we're even on rookie mistakes.)
is it still the rule that the bounty is automatically given to the user with most upvotes (>2) after the start of the bounty? or is it most upvotes since the question was asked?
Yeah, that's exactly why I'm asking. The flair page still says it'll be deprecated eventually, but if it's been gone for a while there's no need for that notice to continue to exist.
For example:
This question: What are some funny loading statements to keep users amused?
used to have this notice on top:
But since then it has been deleted on November 9th.
I have seen this with a few of the historically significant questions like What is the best comment in source code you ...
Based on this question: When jsFiddle and other related sites are gone, so is the information
Since it is possible for these site to succumb to linkrot, I am making a request for a StackFiddle site.
Could only be for javascript at start, then could expand.
This is not subject to linkrot becaus...
The other one says "I was wondering if SO has any plans to create its own (slightly-more-permanent) code playground for its users" and is tagged as a feature request. You were "making a request for a StackFiddle site." You described them slightly differently, but they're essentially the same request.
If your tl;dr comment is itself long, then you're doing it wrong.
@jcolebrand If you end up going under the knife for it, schedule way more recovery time than they tell you. Especially if you're on painkillers prior to.
Every line in the first 30 minutes of that movie directly establishes some plot and or character attribute from "Firefly". That's all. I just happened to watch them one after the other so it was really obvious.
@Shog9 What do you mean? I'm not implementing a search algo, NSPredicate does that. I think I need to use a different predicate though. That's part of the question.
Can I optimize a Core Data query when searching for matching words in a text? (This question also pertains to the wisdom of custom SQL versus Core Data on an iPhone.)
I'm working on a new (iPhone) app that is a handheld reference tool for a scientific database. The main interface is a standard...
@Moshe I mean, if you have a lot of elements in your array, and you're doing a brute-force search, you'll likely get a bigger payoff by picking a different algorithm before trying to optimize your comparison.
What is faster getting to an object from a collection?
a. Searching in an NSDictionary with [dictionary objectForKey:key];
or
b. Searching in an NSArray with [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"someKey like %@",someKeyValue];
In both cases I create the collections.

I'm looking for suggestions on the best way to implement a full-text search on some static data on the iPhone.
Basically I have an app that contains the offline version of a web site, about 50MB of text, and I'd like for users to be able to search for terms. I figure that I should somehow build ...
AFAIK (and I know nothing about this) - NSPredicate is sugar, not magic. Whatever tests you write, they're going to be run on every item to determine the filtered results. Which is gonna hurt if your tests are non-trivial.
If I'm reading this right, you're searching for a sequence of characters separated by vowels. You could probably speed this up considerably by simply storing a separate copy of the content with the vowels already stripped.
@RobSiklos If it's a great answer with just one supporting link broken, and you're feeling intrepid, you could try to fix or find a replacement for the link... but in most cases I'd say flag for a mod.
I've been hitting /review again over the past few days, so my mind is skewed towards thinking of link-only answers that do need speedy deletion when the links break.
Of course you're right that that's not the case all the time and each post needs to be considered individually.
For example:
