blog post on lazy become

Hi All, I've just published a blog post on lazy become and the partial read barrier<http://www.mirandabanda.org/cogblog/2013/09/13/lazy-become-and-a-partial-re…>in Spur. I'd really appreciate criticism, preferrably as comments on the blog page. This is one of the riskier parts of the design so it really does need to be pounded on. -- thanks, Eliot

human language translation service

Through another application I just bumped into a human language translation service that is apparently free to open source projects. I haven't looked into it yet, but thought it might be of interest to others here. https://www.transifex.com/features/translation-management/ https://www.transifex.com/plans/ cheers -ben

Workspace Moprh Bug with image 30389
by Torsten Bergmann Sept. 13, 2013

Sept. 13, 2013

Marcus wrote: >This should be fixed in 3.0 390â¦. at least I can't reproduce it anymore. Hi Marcus, No its not. I tried in the latest 3.0 image from today. To make sure I cleanly downloaded a fresh Pharo3.0 Latest update: #30391 and still can reproduce the problem. One has to do some moving on the Workspace. If you look you will into an updated image you will also see that still class var "TranslucentPatterns" in FormCanvas is uninitialized and class side methods on FormCanvas for initialization are missing. So the problem still persists ... Thx T.

How to state up to date with Pharo ?
by kilon Sept. 13, 2013

Sept. 13, 2013

So what the best way to ensure that I have the latest version of pharo ? To tell you the truth I kinda miss git/github ability to keep me update to the latest version of things. The problem with pharo is that it uses its own internal system and updating things is not as simple as a "git pull". So whats the best way to being always updated with the VM (binary) and the Image ? I have taken a visit at jenkins server but I am confused how to use it and what I should be downloading. Builds are not documented in such way to make clear to a begineer like me what he should download for his needs. I know there is also a github repo again I am confused whether I should clone that . -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/How-to-state-up-to-date-with-Pharo-tp4707617.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Developers mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Fwd: NBFFI version of the OpenDBXDriver
by Rocio Amaya Sept. 12, 2013

Sept. 12, 2013

* Hi! * * I'd like to show a bit the outcome of the first iteration of the DBXTalk Gsoc of this year. First, I've been adapting myself to the environment and technology (DBXTalk, OpenDBX, TalkFFI), and I've written some little tutorials of what I've learnt about them: - Post of how to install OpenDBX http://rochiamaya.wordpress.com/2013/07/28/how-to-install-version-1-4-6-of-… - Post of how to install and use TalkFFI to generate mappings http://rochiamaya.wordpress.com/2013/07/30/create-bindings-with-talkffi/ - Post of how to use mappings generated by TalkFFI http://rochiamaya.wordpress.com/2013/08/06/how-to-use-the-generated-binding… Also, as concrete code, we have built a NBFFI version of the OpenDBXDriver. The main idea of this is to provide a backward compatibility layer to people that use OpenDBX, while letting us move forward dropping the old FFI implementation. Gofer it smalltalkhubUser: 'DBXTalk' project: 'Configurations'; configurationOf: 'OpenDBXDriver'; load. (((Smalltalk at: #ConfigurationOfOpenDBXDriver) perform: #project) perform: #version: with: â1.3â) load: 'DeveloperGroup'. However, the configuration still supports to load the former version of the driver (no NBFFI) Gofer it smalltalkhubUser: 'DBXTalk' project: 'Configurations'; configurationOf: 'OpenDBXDriver'; load. (((Smalltalk at: #ConfigurationOfOpenDBXDriver) perform: #project) perform: #version: with: â1.3â) load: 'FFIDriver'. And the configuration with only NBFFI version. Gofer it smalltalkhubUser: 'DBXTalk' project: 'Configurations'; configurationOf: 'OpenDBXDriver'; load. (((Smalltalk at: #ConfigurationOfOpenDBXDriver) perform: #project) perform: #version: with: â1.3â) load: 'NBFFIDriver'. To use, writte in the Workspace and DoIt: âto set the NBFFI bindâ LibOpenDBXMap initialize. OpenDBX current: NBPharoOpenDBX new. âor to set the oldFFI bindâ OpenDBX current: FFIOpenDBX ffiImplementationForOS . In our current/next steps, we are starting to dig into the other driver implementations. I'm currently working in a Mysql driver implementation that will use the C mysql library directly without the intermediation of OpenDBX. That way, the setup of the environment will be far easier and the entry barrier will be lowered. Best Regards!* *Rocio.*

Startup Preferences
by Goubier Thierry Sept. 12, 2013

Sept. 12, 2013

Hi All, a while ago, I added some settings to one of my projects and it ended up inside my startup preferences, as expected I guess. However, the very next time I rebuilt my image, the first start of the new image displayed errors because of some code inside the startup preferences calling for a non-existent class. Forcing through the errors worked, but then, once fully loaded, that setting was lost. So I looked at the startup preferences code and hacked around a different kind of Setting for my needs, but... has someone else encountered this and found a solution?
