Wow… first my hard drive at home and now 2 of my RAID drives in my office died this morning… what a way to start the week

I love watching my Mac slow down to a crawl…


So, off to the Console.app to see what is going on:

kernel	disk1s1: I/O error.

Awesome!

I saw this demo done at WWDC on how to turn off warnings, only when truly warranted, while compiling with clang:

#if defined (__clang__)
    #pragma clang diagnostic push
    #pragma clang diagnostic ignored "-Wunused-value"
#endif // defined __clang__

void ImAUselessLittleFunction ( int pleaseUseMe )
{
    pleaseUseMe; // Nope, you are not going to be used
}
#if defined (__clang__)
    #pragma clang diagnostic pop
#endif // defined __clang__

I thought this should be shared with you… You’re welcome

Thanks to foundationphp.com for this tutorial!

Here is a tool that looks quite interesting: SymbolSort

What!?

LLVM is available for Visual Studio? http://llvm.org/docs/GettingStartedVS.html

Here is a tool that allows you to do some cool things with the windows in Mac OS X: moom

I had to install Windows 7 on my test mac-mini computer and was halted by the “Boot Camp x64 is unsupported on this computer model” message.

Thanks to Michael Anastasiou , things are now working as they should.

Ah-ha! I found this nice little feature in the “Command Prompt” in Windows 7: hit the F7 key and you get a window with a history of commands you typed into the window.

Nifty!

Last week I was fortunate to attend the GoingNative 2012 seminar hosted at Microsoft’s Redmond campus.

Bjarne Stroustrup, Herb Sutter, Andrei Alexandrescu, Stephan T. Lavavej, Chandler Carruth, Hans Boehm, and Andrew Sutton gave presentations at this seminar. If you don’t know who they are, you can easily look them up since they are all very important people in the computing world.

Videos for the seminar are available online (thanks Herb!): http://herbsutter.com
