[Pharo-project] About ~= and ~~
by Clara Allende Nov. 26, 2016

Nov. 26, 2016

Hi guys, I'm wondering, why? ProtoObject>> ~~ anObject "Answer whether the receiver and the argument are not the same object (do not have the same object pointer)." self == anObject ifTrue: [^ false] ifFalse: [^ true] Instead of: ProtoObject>> ~~ anObject "Answer whether the receiver and the argument are not the same object (do not have the same object pointer)." ^(self == anObject) not And why? Object >> ~= anObject "Answer whether the receiver and the argument do not represent the same object." ^self = anObject == false Instead of Object>> ~= anObject "Answer whether the receiver and the argument do not represent the same object." ^(self = anObject) not. Is there any particular reason for this that I'm missing?

I noticed the SmallPOS on ss3 is under MIT license. AFAIK, it was GPLv3. When did this relicensing happen? Stephan

[Pharo-project] StandardFileStream size limit?
by GÃ¶ran Krampe Nov. 13, 2015

Nov. 13, 2015

Hey all! I have just added large file (chunkwise upload and download) support to Kom/Networking/Iliad in Pharo 1.4 and while testing it I tried uploading a 2.9Gb file. I haven't looked at the exact error message, and I haven't tried writing a trivial test - but the "half written" file on disk is almost EXACTLY 2Gb (2147483647) so I am wondering - do we still have a 2Gb file size limit? This is "one click 1.4" on Ubuntu 64 with ext4. regards, GÃ¶ran

Re: [Pharo-project] How to encrypt a password?
by Paul DeBruicker Nov. 22, 2013

Nov. 22, 2013

Hi Mariano, I've made a FFI library on Squeaksource that works on Linux. http://www.squeaksource.com/Cryptography/PasswordHashingFFI-PaulDeBruicker.… You need to install the 32 bit versions of libcrypt and libxcrypt if you're using a 64 bit linux os. Using crypt can hash passwords using MD5, DES, SHA256, SHA512. Using libxcrypt can hash passwords using bcrypt. If its for a new installation use bcrypt or SHA512 to hash the passwords. bcrypt is better because its slower, and allegedly future proof. to get a hashed password use BCryptLinuxFFI bcrypt:'mypassword' to check it against a stored hash use: BCryptLinuxFFI check:'mypassword' against: storedHash

[Pharo-project] TextAttribute, TextAction and TextDoIt or TextURL: not working
by phil＠highoctane.be Nov. 6, 2013

Nov. 6, 2013

I've been investigating with text. I found things that do work like: ((Text withAll: 'foo') , (Text string: '*' attribute: (TextAnchor new anchoredMorph: EllipseMorph new)) , (Text withAll: 'bar')) asMorph openInWorld. ((Text withAll: 'foo') , (Text string: '*' attribute: (TextAnchor new anchoredMorph: ThemeIcons confirmIcon)) , (Text withAll: 'bar')) asMorph openInWorld. But doing: ((Text withAll: 'foo') , (Text string: 'some link' attribute: (TextURL new url:'http://philippeback.eu')) , (Text withAll: 'bar')) asMorph openInWorld. gives me a nice purple 'some link' bit but clicking on it fails with MessageNotUnderstood: TextURL>>actOnClick:for:in:editor: Damn! Ideas on how to tackle this? TIA Philippe Back
