[ANN] CJSolver

by Luc Fabresse

Hi all, As a teacher, I always try to find new programming exercices for students. I discovered the CodeJam coding contest that provides problems and their data sets. We can also upload a solution on the website and it tells us if it is right or wrong. Example of problem: http://code.google.com/codejam/contest/dashboard?c=351101#s=p2 So, I did a little framework (CJSolver) to make it easier to read data sets and write result files. More info here: http://car.mines-douai.fr/2014/01/cjsolver-a-framework-to-solve-problems-of… The code is on Smalltalkhub but since I also wanted to commit data set files and correct results, I also have a github repo here: https://github.com/LucFabresse/CJSolver You can checkout the code, test it, implement solution to other problems or *optimize* already implemented solutions (I did the simplest version ;-)) and sometimes it is slow on big data sets. have fun, #Luc

" humour from Canada on ice" " Lcurlr class comment " Pharo Smalltalk remains just the best way to generate dynamic Curl markup via Seaside3 or Aida ... although nunjucks with node.js is fine for text-edit dev server-side, I guess ... or Wicket on java if need be ... there are SO few frameworks loosely bound to web markup choice ... but since Curl runs in most any browser or on most any OS ... If only KOBO had chosen Curl for e-book markup after their acquisition by Rakuten ! ... Well, there's always Ottawa QNX at Blackberry while they are still Canadian ... AND having NEVER given up on Smalltalk, I am not likely to give up on Curl ! Now back to OS/2 1.3 on my 3dfx i386 with the i387 co-pro ... but where is that Betamax video on using DBX 2 with Quadraphonic 8-track conversions ? ... Ah, here with my hi-fi (Canadian) Pacific Microsonic HDCD's ... crushed between my killer Samsung and Toshiba Nuon programmable DVD players ... with my unusable Version 2 iTouch and complete with its final upgrade to iOS 3.0 !!!

I hope that someone will develop pagination feature in future. We cal also use smaller font (just kidding). Maybe for now new news will stay there and old ones can be moved to the other page called archive? Or we sonly show titles for older news. Cheers.

But what if Pharo developers loaded the Curl plugin into their browser ? Curl has great dynamic loading for such situations ( as needed by my old 1 CPU core Wind'd XP laptop ;-) {pharoNewsLine {urlBase {www www.curl.com}} {topic "markup that JSON folks should love"} {whatever } } || humour Curl RTE ... for when HTML + JavaScript + CSS is just a needless pain - (and when a markup dialect is just smarter ;-) cheers the NOTcURL guy ...

Apache is used as a frontend server, and many images are indeed in the db, thus served through Pharo. The Pharo image is a 1.4, the VM is Cog, with a typical Mongo+Voyage setup. Most of the DB data is cached by Voyage, which partly explains the speed. Mongo and Pharo are running on the same machine, there's no special caching except for what Voyage provides by default. The Iliad app is served by Kom, and we have many bash scripts to monitor, auto-restart and manage the app (we manage SmalltalkHub in a similar way).

Thanks Marcus, Green build! The mail I got from the build failure provides a clue.

Please check our bug tracker to see if a similar problem has already been reported. Iâve seen that with several jobs, and it stopped me from fixing it. Someone did something about it (upgrade the plugin?), as I was now able to fix it. Stephan
