What worked for me are following settings
After cleaning all the stored passwords and disabling autofilling Safari eventually stopped to bother me with multiple questions regarding keychain access each time there were user/password fields on the web page.
export JAVA_HOME=$(/usr/libexec/java_home)
you can put it inside your ~/.profile.
If you are looking for all these fancy OS X icons (like ones below):
You can find them here:
/System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Resources
Just open Finder, choose from menu: Go -> Go to Folder … and paste above line.
Let’s say we have two files:
<!-- first file --> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <sometag attr="1" attr2="2"> Hello </sometag>
<!-- second file --> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <sometag attr2="2" attr="1"> Hello </sometag>
After cleaning with xmllint we can compare them.
xmllint --noblanks --c14n file_one.xml >file_one_tmp.xml;\ xmllint --format -recover file_one_tmp.xml > file_one_canonical.xml xmllint --noblanks --c14n file_two.xml >file_two_tmp.xml;\ xmllint --format -recover file_two_tmp.xml > file_two_canonical.xml diff file_one_canonical.xml file_two_canonical.xml
As you can see, the only difference lays in comments
2c2 < <!-- second file --> --- > <!-- first file -->
XML files were transformed into normal form (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canonical%5FXML).
In Mountain Lion it was enough to change settings inside
System Preferences -> Sharing -> Computer Name
In Mavericks, that’s not enough.
sudo scutil --set HostName $COMPUTER_NAME_GOES_HERE
1. Format USB drive using Disk Utility
2. Use following command inside terminal
sudo /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Mavericks.app\ /Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume\ /Volumes/Untitled --applicationpath\ /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Mavericks.app\ --nointeraction
3. Restart mac book with Option key pressed
4. Choose USB as startup disk
5. Make sure to erase your previous installation of OS X in case you want to make really clean installation – otherwise system will be restored (e.g. you will have your previous user account)
Sometimes, simplest solutions are most efficient ones.
getent passwd `whoami`
To uninstall or disable nomachine server on OS X:
All this, below, is wrong :)
I have figured out that this is not correct way to disable NX server. It uninstall client software as well.
sudo /Applications/NoMachine.app/ \ Contents/Frameworks/ \ bin/nxserver --uninstall
sudo /Applications/NoMachine.app/ \ Contents/Frameworks/ \ bin/nxserver --shutdown
And the procedure below, is OK :)
So, don’t disable nxserver as described above. Instead, do following:
sudo vi /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.nomachine.server.plist
and change
<key>RunAtLoad</key> <true/>
to
<key>RunAtLoad</key> <false/>
Update:
There is one more place you have to take care about
sudo vi /Library/LaunchAgents/com.nomachine.localnxserver.plist
and change
<key>RunAtLoad</key> <true/>
to
<key>RunAtLoad</key> <false/>

Cocos2d-X by Example Beginner’s Guide by Roger Engelbert
Summary:Nice introduction, but I am not sure whether beginners will survive
If you are looking for cross platform mobile development, Cocos2d-X can be a solution for you. Written in C++, cross-platform graphics engine that allows to develop games with ease.
But with new engine comes great effort – you simply have to learn it. And it’s always good to have a companion to show you where to start. COCOS2d-X by Example can be such companion. It is organised such way it covers most common topics in games development: sprites, layers, graphics, sound, music, animations and basics of physics (big plus for the appendix with physics basics at the and of the book). You will also find nice clues e.g. how to create game tutorial with ease.
I have just one big remark here. This book is titled as “Beginner’s Guide”. Well, this might be a challenge if you are complete beginner:
- C++ explanation is definitely too shallow – make sure to buy some companion book to get started with C++
- There are also small issues with the C++ explanation. For example, I am not quite sure whether this sentence is quite correct:
“You use this instead of self. The -> notation is used to access public methods inside an object, and the . (dot) notation is used for public properties”
I think that “->” is used for accessing pointer’s properties while . (dot) is used for object’s instances.
Another thing here is, that book demands some knowledge of physics – surprise, surprise. If you haven’t heard that yet, be warned that developing games without basics of physics is hardly possible.
As for the Cocos2d-X itself, I think this is really good introduction. Each example is covered from the beginning till the end – you actually work with executable samples. There are detailed explanations of what’s going on, but as I said, people who are not familiar with C++ will probably get lost in the source listings.
Why do I give just three stars here? For the miss leading title. In my opinion, this book is for intermediate developers who are already familiar with XCode and have some basic knowledge of C++.
Summarizing, if you want to start coding with Cocos2d-X – make sure to check this book as one of the sources but be prepared for challenging source codes.
