XCode has never crashed for me in 3+ years.

Your project is corrupt. You're doing something wrong. Look to a professional for assistance with your IDE.


You're not using Xcode. I mean Really Using Xcode. Like making a serious attempt at exercising its features. Hell, you really don't even have to do that. Create a project, edit some code, compile and run your app. That's usually fine. Now, try repeatedly, several times a minute for eight hours straight to use the debugger on your app (intentionally overrelease something or create some other reason for Xcode to launch lldb when your app crashes.)

Xcode will crash.


LOL. For the same reason, Microsoft Powerpoint has never crashed for me in 3+ years. (Because I haven't used it in 3+ years.)

I guarantee you that there is no professional programmer anywhere in the world that has used Xcode to write and compile their applications for 3 years and not had it crash. So your experience would suggest that you aren't one.


I crash Xcode many times a day. Go on, tell me I'm not a professional, or that I'm doing something wrong. I dare you.


This is a great post and should be read by every Web Designer out there.


Cuz you're a frickin' amateur? It's not rocket science, it's easy to do, but it is work!

I think these meatheads are complaining because it's work...


Yep, sounds like 'work' and these people don't 'work'.


What a troll! The problem is we have pedantic editors that do not want the text to flow fluidly. They want to control every extra dash like it is print. They need to realize that to work on landscape/portrait mode, you have to program the text to flow fluidly, you can't use 'screenshots of text'. Simple fact: the publishers are stupid.

HTML5 works the same in an App's Web View as it does in Safari, so the lies at the end of this article are particularly grating.


warned of ads. got it.


Apps are hosted on other servers. So if it is not using HTTPS (to get the app page hosted on another server), it cannot load the content over HTTPS that Facebook is using at the moment.

Switching Facebook to HTTP solves this problem. Because why use HTTPS with Facebook? It's not necessary.

Also, the deadline was October 1, 2011 (last year).


I think HTTPS is entirely necessary for services like Facebook. My friends share information with me privately. Without HTTPS, any intermediary or snooper could trivially see that information.

Out of curiosity, which services do you think are better candidates for HTTPS.


I don't agree: Facebook can just make something that's almost exactly like YouTube. Seems like a no-brainer investment for facebook.

But with Instagram, they wanted the name-brand.


Google tried that, they made Google Video. They're also trying to make something like Facebook (Google Plus), hasn't taken off so well. If Google can't make Google Video work, what makes you think Facebook Video will work?


clue #1: do not type out "Sigh". Or "Le Sigh". That is something teenage girls do, and it drives people nuts.

clue #2: do not use overused internet trailer trash phrases like "Citation Needed" when you aren't on Wikipedia, or the phrases "Really? Seriously?"

clue #3: try to emotionally detach yourself from the topic and engage the merits of the topic, no need to capitalize words, etc. ALL CAPS won't help you.


When someone claims that their subjective, unsubstantiated opinion is fact, asking for a citation that backs up their claim is about the nicest way I can think of to say, "You are utterly full of shit, and I'm calling you out on your bullshit."
