Re: Swift function overloading - invoking func with specific parameter (in place of Any parameter) on passing Any object

> Is there any other elegant way to achieve the desired behavior without > using `if-let + typecasting`? One way is to use classes instead on structs and define display as a method on those classes. I’m no Swift expert but I expect you may find value in making display() into a protocol.

Re: Direct NSSpeechSynthesizer output to buffer instead of file?

If you post to the speech-dev list you'll likely get a more detailed reply as Apple's TTS engineers hang out there. I believe it is possible to hook up the synthesizer as an Audio Unit and capture the output that way. A more basic approach would be to use the venerable UNIX mkfifo function

Re: New busy cursor in the Finder

I have TextWrangler installed but not BBedit. In any case this was definitely showing up in the Finder, though given it was the Open With menu item u guess it could be Launch Services showing it. On Dec 19, 2012, at 11:55 PM, John Pannell j...@positivespinmedia.com wrote: I noticed the

Re: Private Method?

Java, running with a byte code verifier and a strict security manager enabled does a reasonably through job of enforcing private methods at runtime. You can defeat it, but not typically with remotely loaded code such as applets. It's a continuum of design choices in languages. You're right

Re: CFURLWriteDataAndPropertiesToResource as root?

But doesn't it seem entirely reasonable that apps signed by the same vendor (for example) be able to share files? I mean in a safe location perhaps with a limited quota of space? Cookies and client side storage in HTML 5 allow this (not exactly the same but still), but native apps have no

I'll caution you as written that singleton is not be thread safe. Often you don't care, because you only have one thread or because creating 2 webservice clients may not be a problem for you. On Jun 1, 2011, at 3:54 AM, Dan Hopwood d...@biasdevelopment.com wrote: Thanks Steve. For

Re: encoding of file names

However, in practical terms, the indexable string elements are components, not codepoints. It seems to me the single hardest thing to come to grips with when newly approaching NSString is understanding that 'unichar's (and characters in the sense of [characterAtIndex:]) *aren't*

I'm a little surprised that no one else mentioned it, but are you sure that you actually want to strip the characters? As Sixten Otto said For what it's worth, another common cause of problems with stuff pasted from Word (at least on the web), is Word docs that contain characters from the

Crash in +[NSMethodSignature signatureWithObjCTypes:]

It seems when I push signatureWithObjCTypes: hard - i.e. submitting about 250 tasks into NSOperationQueue, signatureWithObjCTypes will occasionally crash. By occasionally, I mean about 1 time in 10 to about 1 time in 15 on a dual core machine: Thread 68 Crashed: Dispatch queue:

Re: Time Zone Names

These are called Olsen names. One typically uses a city style. e.g. America/New_York, Europe/London. Which is a bit arbitrary but captures the DST thing well. In theory, the timezone ET captures EST and EDT but the 2 letter names are even more ambiguous than the 3 letter names, and I am

Your question is a simple problem, actually, that hides a hard problem. Creating a regex from a bunch of strings is simple, just take all the words and OR them together, so in your example: Word1 | Word2 | Word5 | Word8 | Word11 | Word19 | Word23 | Word45 | Word77 Unfortunately, there is no

Blue lines

How do Interface Builder and Quartz Composer draw the blue line connections from object to object? I have been looking through the APIs, but I can't find anything that looks right. I thought of just drawing my own line on a custom view (shouldn't be that hard), but interface builder manages to do
