Ridiculous we are

Hello, Tested on Linux, when I move DrGeo.app folder under hierarchy tree with accent characters (For example, /home/hilaire/TÃ©lÃ©chargement/), loading font does not work However font path seems ok: File @ /home/hilaire/TÃ©lÃ©chargements/DrGeo.app/Contents/Resources. Inspecting this path, it looks like 'TÃ©lÃ©chargements' is 8 bits, but it should be utf-8, right? I think there are issue on Windows, as some user reported to me. Holy shit.

Hi, I am very surprised to see that : Alien newC: has 8 bytes (data size = 8) , which is consistent with a 64 bit architecture but not with a 32 one ! What is the problem ? Annick

UI testing
by Usman Bhatti Sept. 30, 2014

Sept. 30, 2014

Hi all, Is there anything in Pharo that supports UI testing? What I would like to achieve is to be able to simulate a click, select a menu item, input some text in text fields, Ok/Cancel button click, and some other basic task for the automation of my tests. With Glamour, I can simulate transmissions programatically and then test for the display values in the presentations or dig the resulting morph structure to test for specific information. The problem with dialog boxes is that once launched, I cannot perform anything in the system because my test code is active only when dialog boxes get their intended input and are validated. So, if there is anything for simulating testing "scenarios" (click on second button -> select third menu item -> fill up text field -> select color -> ok button -> test fourth PanelMorph in the window ), it would be really helpful and make my testing much more productive. regards, usman

Machine learning in Pharo?
by Martin Dias Sept. 29, 2014

Sept. 29, 2014

Hi all, I'm playing with weka [1] for classifying data using data mining/machine learning. I'm really new on this field so I want to give you a concrete example of my use case to make it clear: I have elements that can be classified as true or false. In a training phase, I set up a bayesian network with elements that I manually classified. Then, I can use such network for predicting the classification of new elements. ---> my question is: Do we have a package for replacing weka-in-my-use-case in Pharo? It doesn't need to be exactly a bayesian network, it could be simpler. I looked a bit in Moose-Algos and in BioSmalltalk but I think they don't have what I need. I would appreciate any help. Cheers.

Request for adding Smalltalk syntax highlight in SE network

I have requested for some justice to stop the look down on Smalltalk syntax highlighting in StackOverflow: http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/272327/syntax-highlighting-for-smal… Maybe more votes (from you) would better support the request. Cheers, HernÃ¡n

[sorry for the cross-post] Dear all, There has been quite some work around analyzing non-software related data. The teams of Serge, Thierry and Noury have been doing wonderful things. I am not sure you are aware of this, but I found this a nice achievement of what our community can do.

I do not know if this make sense to crosspost all these urls (looks like a spam isnât it?) but I am really happy to see all that happening.

Hanging reference and sluggish image
by Alain Rastoul Sept. 27, 2014

Sept. 27, 2014

Hi, I have a sluggish image due to some hanging reference on a big object (a BTree filled with test data) that I inspected with GTInspector, and can't get rid of those references. Opening a PointerExplorer on this object show me lot of various references from GLMCompositePresentations, GLMPanes, AnouncementSubscriptions, blocks etc. Is there a clean way to reset subscriptions , announcers and GLMPresentations ? Any help or suggestion will be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance, Alain
