[Pharo-project] I stumbled upon
by Friedrich Dominicus April 3, 2013

April 3, 2013

The following two functions: capitalized "Return a copy with the first letter capitalized" | cap | self isEmpty ifTrue: [ ^self copy ]. cap := self copy. cap at: 1 put: (cap at: 1) asUppercase. ^ cap and withFirstCharacterDownshifted "Return a copy with the first letter downShifted (in lower case)" | answer | self ifEmpty: [ ^ self copy ]. answer := self copy. answer at: 1 put: answer first asLowercase. ^ answer Well AFAIKT it should be first in the function (according to SLIME) But as one can easily see it's redundant code. How about a replacement like: withFirstLetterTransformed: aTransformBlock | result | self isEmpty ifTrue: [^ self copy ]. result := self copy. result at: 1 put: (aTransformBlock value: result first ). ^ result the above fucntions would get: capitalized "Return a copy with the first letter capitalized" ^ self withFirstLetterTransformed: [:value | value asUppercase ]. and withFirstCharacterDownshifted "Return a copy with the first letter downShifted (in lower case)" ^ self withFirstLetterTransformed: [:value | value asLowercase ]. Well I also know that capitalized is a very "old" thing but the second name is more specific. So what about: withFistCharacterUpshifted .... as counterpart? There's another thing which probably is incongruent: we have first for accessing the first element of any collection but first: is not for setting the first element. first:n yields the first n Elements of a collection. That's not a good name then. firstElements:n would be a better name IMHO. And then we could have first: someValue and so we would have in the end: result first: (aTranformBlock value: result first). would change the first Element of "any" collection. AFAIKT Lisp has such a convention... my first changes to not to any harm to existing Code, but of course changing the meaning of first: would.... Regards Friedrich

[Pharo-project] PDF Rendering
by Ben Coman March 31, 2013

March 31, 2013

I was looking around for PDF rendering libraries that might be used with NativeBoost and they all seem to be licensed GPL, which is not compatible with Pharo's preference for the MIT license. Then I came across Apache licensed pdf.js [1] which sparked my curiosity.... There are a few projects to have Smalltalk run on top of Javascript, but has anyone looked at the reverse, running javascript inside a Smalltalk image? Perhaps handing the Javascript off via NativeBoost to a Javascript VM like SquirrelFish [2]. Or is that just a bad idea? cheers -ben [1] http://andreasgal.com/2011/06/15/pdf-js/ [2] https://www.webkit.org/blog/189/announcing-squirrelfish/

[Pharo-project] bump: pharo wikipedia page sucks
by Esteban Lorenzano March 31, 2013

March 31, 2013

Hi, have you seen it? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pharo it is old, small, non-accurate and well... it could receive a lot of love :) (the weird thing is that the image is actually a 2.0 image, he) Can anyone adopt the page and update it? thanks, Esteban ps: also... we have a lot of spanish speakers in this list (including myself). It is a shame that we do not have a spanish version :)

[Pharo-project] New issue tracker statuses
by Sean P. DeNigris March 31, 2013

March 31, 2013

I'm unclear about how to change issue statuses in certain cases. For example, https://pharo.fogbugz.com/default.asp?10178 has been integrated, but it's still listed as "Fix to include". However, when I click "edit" there doesn't seem to be a drop-down to change the status, and if I "reopen", I only see the active issue statuses. ----- Cheers, Sean -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/New-issue-tracker-statuses-tp4679026.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[Pharo-project] Owner vs user in SmalltalkHub
by Alexandre Bergel March 31, 2013

March 31, 2013

Hi! I have spotted some inconsistencies. Look at the following screenshot: According to the Monticello registration code, abergel is a user. But the Gofer scripts says that ObjectProfile is a smalltalkhubUser. Should not ObjectProfile be called the owner? When I click on Contributors, abergel is not listed (and abergel has right to write). Easy to get lost.
