Re: [Pharo-dev] Get not accepted text from TextModel

Hello Yuriy, you can do: aTextModel spec instance widget textMorph text. I am not sure there is an easier way to get this non accepted text. 2014-08-18 13:28 GMT+02:00 Yuriy Tymchuk <yuriy.tymchuk(a)me.com>: > Hi, > > TextModel has getText, but it only gives you text that was accepted.

Of course, ppl want to get these things. Especially in the UI space like Spec. Younger guns are of course drawn to it. It is hopeless to think that there will be no tension there. And yes, we are a kind of fashion industry. Isn't Pharo going to be innovative and taking in the new stuff ? ValueHolder is a known thing. It is frankly not more sensical that ReactiveVariable. Of course, now, we understand it. But when it first started, it could have been a lot of other names. In Java, it is an interface... http://docs.oracle.com/javaee/6/api/javax/faces/component/ValueHolder.html Look at Seaside's DynamicVariables... not that super clear when encountered at first. Are they really what Lisp calls Dynamic Variables? In 3.0 NewValueHolder is with this in the class comment: / ! \ IMPORTANT / ! \ NewValueHolder will soon be replaced by ReactiveVariable ============================================= Within Spec itself, NewValueHolder has been renamed to ReactiveVariable (during the beta phase of Pharo 3). Since Pharo 3 was already in beta, NewValueHolder has been kept untouched. For new code (and all code in future versions of Pharo), use the following two hook methods: asReactiveVariable - use wherever you would have used asValueHolder, which will soon be deprecated. For now, it returns a NewValueHolder. In the future it will return a (polymorphic) ReactiveVariable selectionReactiveVariable - as above, returns a SelectionValueHolder for now. This extension method allows the two different packages to coexist without having direct references from the Spec model. ... A variable that emits announcements when changed looks quite reactive indeed. Of course a couple of things are using the NewValueHolder (Roassal2Spec, GT-Inspector) But subclasses of NewValueHolder: CollectionValueHolder, DictonaryValueHolder, IdentityNewValueHolder (yikes!), SelectionValueHolder This is confusing. At the same time, none of this kind of thing ever prevented progress. I guess you can remember the dual hierarchies in previous version of Pharo... Pharo itself came to life because we wanted progress. Now, we attract people who want to do things differently. And then are surprised that they want to do just that. Who got named "Random Refactorers"? Remember that? And calling people names? https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/squeak/conversations/messages/109404 > Related links: > - https://github.com/spec-framework/spec/issues/16 > - https://pharo.fogbugz.com/default.asp?13824 > > > Yeah, the pic at the end is an ad hominem. There is a ton of such things. http://coolhaus.de/art-of-controversy/ Too bad we ended up on http://coolhaus.de/art-of-controversy/erist38.htm so fast. On Spec itself, we got good stuff. Like docs. http://spec.st/ And getting this to go GPLv3 is going to hurt. https://github.com/spec-framework/spec/blob/master/LICENSE-GPL3 MIT is a big plus for Pharo tech. This is a bad precedent.

Hi, TextModel has getText, but it only gives you text that was accepted. Can I get somehow text that is just there? Uko

Re: [Pharo-dev] Quitting the community

by stepharo

Ben, I'm sad about your decision and I think that it is a bit biaised against me. Your statements are your point of view and I will not argue with you. Now for the others I got a disagreement on the rename of ValueHolder into ReactiveVariable (see my reasons below) as referred here - https://github.com/spec-framework/spec/issues/16 - https://pharo.fogbugz.com/default.asp?13824 I let you judge. For me the picture at the end of https://pharo.fogbugz.com/default.asp?13824 tells a lot on your state of mind and I do not think that this is a good state of mind to work in an open-source community. I think that we can have disagreements with other people and we can discuss but it seems that it became difficult to discuss with you recently and this is sad. (Members of the rmod team still did not get why you left the team without saying bye to them). Here are my reasons: - I do not want that people can say that innovation in Pharo is just by renaming existing concepts. The concept of ValueHolder is the basis of VisualWorks. Spec is influenced by the application model of VisualWorks and valueHolder. So using this name is recognizing its influence. When people using VW will come to Pharo they should not think that too and they should not get lost. - Stephan Eggermont mentioned in addition that - Reactive variable is a concept from reactive programming. For the record - Value Holder is a pattern described by Bobby Woolf in 1994 in http://c2.com/ppr/vmodels.html and referred to in much of the pattern literature. - The books of X. Briffault, Bernard Horan, Tim Howard, Ivan Tomek, plus all the tutorial and docs of VisualWorks are using ValueHolder. Probably more but I did not have the time to check. - I programmed since some of you in VW since 1998 and telling that the books we used are obsolete does not help because there are still accurate. - Now if Spec would be an external library that can be loaded in Pharo, I would not care and you could use any name want. But Spec is part of Pharo and Spec is based on my ideas too. So I would a bit of care to be taken. I imagine that you can understand my point. I really wish I would not have to write such mail. I'm immensely sad.

I'd say that we now have: Camillo - pissed off to death Ben - same Nico - gone There is something amiss there. These people are significant contributors and made the system move forward in new and much needed directions (Zeroconf/CommandLine, Spec, Amber). Pissing them off is really a bad approach, no matter why/how/... Get the house in order please and stop the ego trips. Yelling at people/each other just doesn't work and doesn't help. Try that at your cat. Oh, yeah, it helps in pushing great people to other communities... As we needed that. And now, I am feeling sad.

Hi Ben, Thanks for letting us know. I am sorry you feel this way, but I believe your presentation of the situation is both unfair and unfortunate. You are obviously referring to issues that are of personal nature, and as outsiders we are left with only an ugly feeling without being able to either understand or fix anything. I was actually having fun until your email, and as far as I can tell, others were having fun as well. I am not sure what the intention of your email was, but at least for me, your mail did manage to spoil the fun for a second. I appreciate the work you put in Pharo, I respect your decision, but I do not sympathize with your behavior.
