Most of my comments fall into a few categories:

I'm pretty sure line counts aren't a competition and mostly just a headache due to me being unable to remember what everything does. If I could have everything in under 1,000 lines, I would.

Ridiculous that you'd pay that much for a few cups of tea, really. It doesn't cost that much to get a load of tea bags (or whatever form folks prefer - I just using bags of Twinings stuff).

Top-Down Shadow Hack

(Note: copy/pasted this from Google+ because nobody reads Google+ and I'd originally shared it privately.)

Well, yeah, the documentation mentions that. Plus it doesn't use the JVM, so it's not like it'd support 1.7 anyway.

Crazy idea

19th April 2013

No. If I wanted to read source code I'd do it in Xcode so I could jump between definitions and retain a history of said jumps and view callers and callees easily and so on. Books are not good for this. Books are only good at cached access (aka bookmarks).
