Is FSEvents more efficient than polling?

2013-04-28 Thread Steven Degutis
There is a library I'm using that is reading a list of files every 0.5 seconds and watching for the last-modified attribute to change. Is this less efficient than using FSEvents? If so, how? For example, will it weak down the HDD or SSD faster? Run the battery of my laptop out sooner? Some other w

2013-04-28 Thread Michael Starke
An educated guess would be that polling should be less efficient as the event based FSEvents. Any reason you do not want to tap into the FSEvents API? You concerns about weakening is nothing I would consider, as you're talking about reading, which should be considered harmless (in the physical s

Let me give a little more context. The app is a Clojure test-auto-runner[1], that spins up the JVM and watches files to reload and re-run the tests for[2]. I'm concerned that running this auto-runner on my laptop is killing the SSD and battery quicker. Especially because these rMBPs don't have eas

UITableViewCell with variable height

2013-04-28 Thread Koen van der Drift
I'm having some problems to resize and show all text in a UITableViewCell based on the contents. It has two labels, the second of which can have a variable length and I'd like to show it all. So I added this code: - (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPa

Are you recalculating the size of the label as well? Using the same logic? I worked on the very same thing yesterday and that got it to work. In my case the label's content can be very large, with string length up to 12 characters and I found out that a label's recalculated size doesn't work

Laying out text in NSTextView around a subview

2013-04-28 Thread Jason Brennan
What I’m trying to do is have an NSTextView and add custom NSView subviews to it, but have it so the text can layout around the subviews. Right now, I can easily add a subview to the textview but of course, that goes into the textview and the text is ignorant of the subviews, so it just runs ov
