Kind of random, but: I see some Android phones are sporting ~460 dpi displays. What do people think the chances are we see an "@3x" display soon? Anyone know the Apple policy on using "Retina" in an app title?

I dunno, it seems people tend to use HD instead (it's short, normals understand it).

It always annoys me when people boast about their "HD" camera when even 1920 x 1080 is a really lovely resolution for a picture.

I know it doesn't, but at this point the only people who care are goons, videophiles and anime fans. So whatever. Though cameras are all about 10 megapixels and lovely optics.

I have something I can't figure out, and it could be because I'm stupid, or because I dont' understand Right-to-Left languages... I have an app that one view is localized: iPad is set to US English, most of app is in English, but users select from one of many languages on screen A, then move to view controller B, which is localized properly for that language. All is well, but now I'm supporting my first RTL language. I am loading a new XIB for rtl languages, with things laid out differently. The problem is, the UITextFields, while being right aligned, still input in L-t-R mode: if I type 'John Doe' in, I see 'John Doe' over on the right side, when I think I should be seeing 'oeD nohJ'. I've tried using setBaseWritingDirection:UITextWritingDirectionRightToLeft forRange:[textField beginningOfDocument] toPosition:[textField endOfDocument]]]; in various places, but to no avail. Is there any way to set a UITextField's direction to r-t-l manually? I guess I can steal the input out when they type and reverse the string, but that seems very kludgy.

Have you tried with the iPad set to an RtL language (write down how to switch back if you're worried)?

Yes, and it correctly (at least I assume correctly) puts new characters to the left of previous input. So somehow Apple does it; I need to know how too  EDIT sort of "fixed" I guess... Turns out if you add an RtL language keyboard and select that, your text fields will correctly handle typing in the appropriate direction, regardless of the iPad locale. I love it when things are easy. Lumpy fucked around with this message at 18:02 on Apr 25, 2013 |

This actually is a changeup from last year where they went on sale with the announcement and so took two hours because half of America was asleep. This time they announced a sale-time instead so everybody was ready when they went up.

I remember freaking out last year and getting super lucky. Everyone at the conference from the west coast had a story about the cat waking them up or something, because nobody was expecting it. Announcing the time at least gave everyone even footing, but a couple thousand tickets just doesn't cut it.

I would make sense to have more keynote-less WWDCs and then I dunno a flagpost convention for all the hype (plus normal wwdc stuff). But that would kill exclusivity, so... I dunno.

Part of what makes WWDC so special is you get to rub elbows and chat with actual Apple engineers. If the conference got bigger that wouldn't be possible anymore. If they do multiple conferences then you take away too much actual development time from people who have work to do. They need a lottery system, maybe with some weightings for various factors. Being the quickest to mash the buy button isn't a good way to pick who gets to go. Also, have the keynote in an arena or something and all the people who only sign up to go to the keynote can get special tickets for that, leaving slots open for actual developers. There is no reason those people should be going to WWDC.

Doh004 posted:Hey, hey rjmccall. Sorry, I have zero power over the attendee lists. I am pretty sure that we do over-book the conference with the expectation that a certain fraction of attendees won't being coming to anything after the first day, although IIRC that fraction really isn't that high. But yeah, we're constrained by multiple things here, including both the number of engineers who can usefully answer questions but also the size of the actual rooms in Moscone West; we give multiple versions of some sessions specifically because a lot of them hit capacity the first time, even if they're in the enormous keynote room. But this is why we're making a huge effort to get the talks out there publicly as soon as we possibly can.

I'm playing around with adding a predicate search thingie in an app, and it looks like poo poo because it calls -description: I have properties on my objects that return a nice display-ready implementation, and I also have NSValueFormatter subclasses that can convert back & forth. But I don't see a good way of putting those on there? Is there a way to fix that without using a horrible hacks or tons of boilerplate? Everything I can find seems like it's a lot of work: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6193814/using-nspredicate-to-analyze-strings http://funwithobjc.tumblr.com/post/1482915398/localizing-nspredicateeditor

Doctor w-rw-rw- posted:I'd swizzle the description method. Maybe default to calling the original description method in it, unless some criteria to use your better description are met. If anything is depending on the structure of description to be a certain way that would seem very odd. Since Apple is generally religious about not being dirty with their APIs like that, you should be OK. Thanks, that's not a bad idea! I's still a hack, you know? I'll probably do that. Though, kinda surprises me that predicates use -description for display instead of some @protocol or hhatever

If you have unusual requirements sometimes you need unusual tools.  Not saying it should be a go-to solution, but if you need to avoid subclassing but you need a method to respond differently, there's not a lot you can really do. vvvv: Oh yeah, totally forgot about proxying objects. That does sound less evil. Doctor w-rw-rw- fucked around with this message at 21:12 on Apr 26, 2013 |

You can probably proxy the predicate object and replace -description on the proxy; that seems less evil than swizzling methods on the predicate, and your predicates are unlikely to be big enough that you'd ever care about allocating two objects instead of one. But really, I think this is supposed to be managed by the row template.

Lumpy posted:I have something I can't figure out, and it could be because I'm stupid, or because I dont' understand Right-to-Left languages... A little late, but I thought I'd clarify things. You seem to have a misunderstanding about what setting a text field to RTL actually does. In every modern OS, all text rendering is inherently bidirectional. The system is smart enough to figure out whether each individual character in the string to display belongs to a LTR or a RTL language, and sets its directionality accordingly. Typing "John Doe" will always output "John Doe", no matter which directionality the field is set to, because English characters are always displayed left to right. A simple way to think about what text directionality actually does (although this is a gross simplification) is that it determines the directionality for characters that don't inherently have one - that is, punctuation and spacing. Had you followed "John Doe" with a period, for example, it would have been rendered as ".John Doe".

Don't get me wrong, I love that swizzling is possible. Every time I've considered using it, I've ended up finding a more elegant solution. That makes part of me sad. I keep the evil side of me happy by using class dump to reverse engineer private frameworks.  enterprise development

Should there happen to be any Xcode and/or LLVM labs at WWDC this year — a possibility which I can neither confirm nor deny — then I will likely be staffing said labs, and you should feel free to drop by and say hello and possibly ask me embarrassing questions about stairs and/or automatic reference counting.
