Maybe it is the same issue as: http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=5568 which is easy reproducable with the image attached to the bug. Thanks Torsten -- NEU: FreePhone 3-fach-Flat mit kostenlosem Smartphone! Jetzt informieren: http://mobile.1und1.de/?ac=OM.PW.PW003K20328T7073a

[Pharo-project] SciSmalltalk first commit
by Serge Stinckwich April 4, 2012

April 4, 2012

Dear all, i made the first commit for the SciSmalltalk project. The code is available here: https://github.com/SergeStinckwich/SciSmalltalk As a test, i commit the random number generator available here: http://www.squeaksource.com/Random.html I put here a list of potential existing code that could be integrated in SciSmalltalk: https://github.com/SergeStinckwich/SciSmalltalk/wiki/Existing-Math-packages… I will asked the authors if they agree to package their code in SciSmalltalk. In order to have something coherent, every sub-librairies of Sci-Smalltalk should be packaged as 'Math-XXX'. Right now, i have Math-Random and Math-Random-Tests. SciSmalltalk will contain only code released under MIT licence. Any comments ? Best regards, -- Serge Stinckwich UMI UMMISCO 209 (IRD/UPMC), Hanoi, Vietnam Every DSL ends up being Smalltalk http://doesnotunderstand.org/

[Pharo-project] Optimizations, Cog, cpu load??
by Schwab,Wilhelm K April 3, 2012

April 3, 2012

Stef, I have my laptop downloading updates, running a vm and installing clunky windows software therein. The fan just started, so my reduced load theory seems to hold water. Something in what has been done in the image and/or vm has allowed things that once would cause my laptop to heat up to run w/o need of the fan. The fan *could* have quit, but that is now clearly not the case. Pharo is getting better. Bill

I just reported. SequencableCollection is an abstract class and should not be instantiated. But that it freezes is strange, it should report an error as soon as a subclassresponsibility is encounterd (like Collection) Marcus -- Marcus Denker -- http://marcusdenker.de
