[Pharo-project] WeakArray>>isFinalizationSupported

by Sean P. DeNigris

As I port code from Sophie, I keep running into WeakArray>>isFinalizationSupported calls. Why was this method removed from Pharo? I want to make sure I understand what I'm doing when I remove these calls. Thanks.

[Pharo-project] realized and learned something today :)

by StÃ©phane Ducasse

Hi guys I think that over the years I (but also many of you, I know) tried to expose newbies to smalltalk or our culture. And often we get bad reactions, bad windows, bad colors, slow, why not in svn, ..... I think that showing Smalltalk to newbies is the best we can do to ourselves, not really to attract new people but also to get a large kick in the %^&* because most of the time students are not stupid, they are exposed to other technos. So each time we believe we want to show them something cool and they do not really consider it as cool as we believe, we can of course think that they are idiot (some of them are) but most of the time we can also think that may be we stayed too long in our little boxes and the world moved (interfaced well with c, fast, cool frameworks, has cool tools, processes (integration...), cool UIs, web stuff.....). So each time we get down because we do not see the little flame opening in the yes of the others we can think hard and get from them what we missed. I really happy to get exposed to student acid tests, this is a valuable feedback and I wanted to share that with you. Stef

Comment #6 on issue 3486 by stephane.ducasse: RecentMessageList problem with PluggableTextMorph http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=3486 I'm confused there are too many classes and I do not know if we want SH* in core. We should check that carefully. And this code looks old SHPreferences, SHParserST80>>-= aSymbol ^ 1 -= 2 Mariano is the problem you see only happening in pharo-dev?

Re: [Pharo-project] [ANN] SqueakMovieMorph (Alpha) plays any video file playable by QuickTime

by DeNigris Sean

Forgot to mention, right now the prototype only works on Mac. I'm not sure how hard it would be to have it work on other platforms. It may be easy as I just hardcorded the Mac platform references and there was other-platform code that can be re-enabled. Sean
