NativeBoost

Hi, were is NB currently maintained? Only within the image as it is integrated or still with an external config and on STHub? The reason why I ask: when I load the latest NB-Core package from STHub it looks like this one is outdated and back from Pharo3 day (trying to load it gives problems from changes in Pharo 4). So it looks like NB was originally developed external using STHub, then integrated into standard image and now it is only internally in-image managed. OK. But the future goal is as far as I understood to manage more and more packages using external configs again. What is the status and future plan for NB? Will the repo get synchronized? Or will it stay internal only? Thx T.

Hi, Iâve found this code puzzle: http://codegolf.stackexchange.com/questions/42242/recognise-stack-exchange-… <http://codegolf.stackexchange.com/questions/42242/recognise-stack-exchange-…> Do you think it can be implemented in a nice way in Pharo? Because other implementations look hyper obfuscated. Uko

Re: [Pharo-dev] [squeak-dev] Does Monticello try to install shared pools before methods using them?
by Chris Muller Dec. 8, 2014

Dec. 8, 2014

I'm pretty sure the responsibility falls to the loader. I'm not too familiar with it but if I wanted to be I would probably start tracing from McVersionLoader. Do your pool references end up being valid? That is the most important but I agree it would be an annoyance to see those messages in the Transcript.

[ann] gtspotter: a moldable interface for spotting objects
by Tudor Girba Dec. 8, 2014

Dec. 8, 2014

Hi, Alex Syrel, Andrei Chis and I are happy to announce a new addition to the Glamorous Toolkit: GTSpotter, a novel interface for spotting objects. GTSpotter has two goals: - Provide a uniform yet moldable interface that can work on any object, and - Handle searching through arbitrary levels of object nesting. We think this will have a significant impact on the development workflow in Pharo. Here is a couple of screenshots: [image: Inline image 2] [image: Inline image 1] [image: Inline image 3] A trailer is available here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PhSmjR3NOlU A detailed description is available here: http://www.humane-assessment.com/blog/introducing-gtspotter It works already in Pharo 3.0 and can be played with by following the instructions from: http://gt.moosetechnology.org Please let us know what you think. Enjoy, The Glamorous Team

Re: [Pharo-dev] Investigating MultiByteFileStream for adding tests
by Stephan Eggermont Dec. 8, 2014

Sheridan wrote: >Do operations involving FileStream as input always return a >MultiByteFileStream? That is a well-known pattern, class cluster. A base class defining an interface and acting as a factory hiding the specific class returned. Cocoa uses that a lot, it results in a much cleaner architecture than that of .net and java. https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/General/Conceptual/Co… Stephan

I am writing a book using Pillar. Here is the problem I do have: I put something like Some text explaining XYZ.. +SomeCaption>file://figures/somefigure.png+ Some other text... But the figure is not staying between the two paragraphs for some reason. Anyone having an explanation and a way to have the thing stay where it should? TIA Phil

Applying GTSpotter to domain objects, an experiment
by Stephan Eggermont Dec. 8, 2014

Dec. 8, 2014

GTSpotter looks like a nice way to build end-user applications too. An address book is a simple example of that, with parties and addresses Clear the address book ABAddressbookModel reset. Add someone ABAddressbookModel default addFirst: 'Stephan' last:'Eggermont'. Add a telephone number to someone ABAddressbookModel default parties first addTelephone: '+31-6-55555555'. Open a spotter on the address book GTSpotterMorph new width: 400; doLayout; spotterModel: (GTSpotter on: ABAddressbookModel default); openCenteredInWorld How do I add actions to add a person/address, edit it, or remove it? I can see how I can add one action, can I add multiple? Stephan
