The differences between JavaScript function declarations and function expressions (and why variable hoisting is the reason for these differences).
// JavaScript code is run in two passes, the first pass
// does all the function declarations and determines the
// variables. The second pass actually executes your code.
// Example 1: Function Declaration
// Function declarations will always work because
// declarations are determined on the first pass and when
// you actually call the function is performed on the
// second pass.

A lot of people are having issues with com.apple.IconServicesAgent. Since this is a very new issue, Google was no help and `man iconservicesd` is even more hilarious. I eventually fixed it, when I was working on a completely different issue (that is still not fixed). The instructions are below and on the Apple Support Forum, https://discussions.…

I was chasing down another issue (slow "Save As") and thought these two issues may have been related (with QuickLook being the common broken link). Unfortunately, my "Save As" dialog is still miserably slow on the initial load; but IconServicesAgent hasn't gone above 30MB and he rarely makes an appearance in the Console!

Some of these steps may not be necessary, but here are all of the steps I took that inadverdently put IconServicesAgent back in its place. Note: all commands are a single-line, if they appear to be multiple that's just the forum formatting.

  1. Check for any QuickLooks related .plist files. In a terminal: mdfind com.apple.quicklook. -name .plist

  2. I only had files at the system level (specifically within /System/Library/LaunchAgents/). If you have others, modify the directions below to take that into account (re-introducing plist files from the system level back up to the user).

  3. Make some temporary directories to store these plist files, just in case: mkdir ~/tmp-quicklook

Correct JSON-API Example Our response consists of a single array with the same name as our table. Notice this is using the ID format in that foreign keys return the primary key to the joined table. A URL format is available and preferred, so that the client can be completely unaware / agnostic in regards to the backend. In ID format, we must har…
