The iPhone i'm developing with (building the application to, not installed via ad-hoc) receives push notifications as it should. I've got an application that just sends dummy push notifications on command, and the dev iphone receives them consistently. However, I've distributed a beta build under the release configuration to several co...

Our application is quite mature, and thus we are up to version 16. However, this can give the impression that the software is old and out of touch (how many commercial applications are there with a version 20+??) Obviously, version numbers are quite arbitrary - what do other people use? I quite like the Ubuntu approach of month.date, bu...

Are there examples of significant enhancements to major programming languages that were fully released and then found to be sufficiently flawed that they had to be withdrawn? UPD @Jeff Foster has an example of a feature that is not consistently implemented and I'd take those as answers UPD There is a grey area between Deprecated and w...
Hi all, I have been working on a web development library (for the CodeIgniter framework) that I soon hope to release. This would be my first contribution ever, and I have never released an open source library in the past. I wanted to appeal to the experience of some of you for any steps to follow before releasing. I know that testing...

I am developing a website where I am using a tabs implementation with jQuery. In Debug mode, all runs fine, I spent the entire day developing it, and when I was about to deploy to the live site and I compiled in 'Release' mode, the tabs don't switch anymore. Why would this code behave differently? I am assuming it's the JavaScript code t...

Hi! I've got a little problem. my application runs without problems in Debug mode, but crashes in release mode. I can't track down the problem, because in release mode all the Debuginfo appears to be nonsense. However - sometimes in other projects the Debug output is also valid in release mode. What projectsettings do I have to change s...

The problem with the instructions is that it's quite annoying to get all the ...

From Objective-C i'm used to Reference Counting / Retain Counting (same thing). I love this concept, and it's plain simple. So I thought, why not apply this to a database? The problem is: Imagine these tables: users, photos. A user can own a photo, a user can like a photo of himself or someone else, and a user can recommend a photo. In...
