No NSCoder night for me tonight!

I’d like to make it to NSCoder Night tonight, but I just have too much else to do today — again. I won’t be seeing anyone at NSCoder Night next week, either, as I’ll be in San Francisco for the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference! If you’re attending, be sure to find me and say hi!

No NSCoder night for me tonight!

I’d like to make it to NSCoder Night tonight, but I just have too much else to do today. Hopefully I’ll see everyone there next week!

No NSCoder Night for me tonight!

I’d like to make it to NSCoder Night tonight, but I won’t be able to as I’ll be looking at a new place. Wish me luck, and have fun everybody!

Build LLVM and clang!

I’ve talked about the LLVM Compiler Infrastructure in the past, but what I haven’t talked about yet is just how easy and quickly you can build it on your own Mac running Leopard! This is a great way to get into hacking on compiler lexical analyzers and parsers, code generators, optimizers, and so on. What’s […]

Copyright canonical form

One thing that’s nagged at me lately has been the series of applications I’ve seen lately with copyright statements that appear to be from the Bizarro universe. I don’t mean that they have weird license restrictions; rather, they have a copyright statement in their standard About panel that’s formatted strangely. It’s a minor pet peeve […]

The next CocoaHeads Silicon Valley meeting will be on Thursday, April 17, 2008 — that’s tonight! — at 7:30 in the De Anza 3 auditorium at Apple. That’s just inside the south side of De Anza 3, right across Mariani Avenue from Apple’s Infinite Loop campus in Cupertino. See the web site for directions. This […]

Free font happiness! Inconsolata, Kaffeesatz and Tagesschrift

I love good fonts. It’s one of the things that I enjoy most about Mac OS X — the font rendering is *wonderful*. Lately for programming and Terminal use, I’ve used [Inconsolata][1] by [Raph Levien][2]. It’s a very clean monospaced font that renders really well at 12 points and higher, and is perfectly usable for […]

Jon Harrop dives into OCaml on LLVM

As seen on the LLVMdev mailing list: Jon Harrop, Fibonacci example in OCaml: Here is a complete 104-line native code compiler for a tiny subset of OCaml that is expressive enough to compile an external Fibonacci program: […] The compiler is itself written in OCaml, of course; for those who don’t know, OCaml or Objective […]

NSCoder Night Silicon Valley (and hopefully elsewhere)

I’ve been toying with this idea for a while now, and now that Leopard is coming out, it’s finally time to make it happen! I call it NSCoder Night! (Major thanks to Scott Stevenson for coming up with the name!) Here’s the inaugural announcement: > NSCoder Night Silicon Valley will be having its inaugural get-together […]
