Re: [Pharo-users] Transcendental #new (was Re: why Pillar)

by Robert Withers

I was thinking about this on my drive home, more, and I think that I was jumping the duck. #new is related to named classes, therefore in the analogy of brahma-loka, this is more of a rupa level behavior. The arupa level is there (and there is a #new at that level) but it deals with things that have no form, but by name only (#allInstancesDo:). cheers, robert --- And yet everything that is created does not rest in Me. Behold My mystic opulence! Although I am the maintainer of all living entities and although I am everywhere, I am not a part of this cosmic manifestation, for My Self is the very source of creation.

Hi JuliÃ¡n, Le 26/12/2015 18:12, JuliÃ¡n Maestri a Ã©crit : > I'm trying to use a BaselineOf approach for development, and wanted to > know if I got something wrong. > > 1. Development must be done on the baseline? Hum, I'd say the two concepts are orthogonal: A BaselineOf express the relations and requirements of the packages in your project. You associate a BaselineOf to every project. Development or stable happen in separates branches. Each of those branches has a BaselineOf to express the dependencies and packages... > 2. Configurations must reference a specific point (commit,tag,branch) of > the baseline? The ConfigurationOf specify a target repository (in git, this means a commit, a tag or a branch, by default master) and the BaselineOf to load from that repository. In short, it's not it must, but it will, since you can't avoid it :) > 3. My dependencies to other projects must be Baselines or > Configurations? Why? They can be BaselineOf or ConfigurationOf. Having ConfigurationOf is a bit more flexible, because a ConfigurationOf can carry multiple versions, #stable and #development, whereas a BaselineOf carry a single baseline spec. It is also a bit easier to request a single group or package of a ConfigurationOf than from a BaselineOf; in the latter case you often have to import the BaselineOf names (packages and groups) inside the namespace of your project baseline, which may be problematic. > BaselineOf: > https://github.com/dalehenrich/metacello-work/blob/master/docs/GettingStart… > > Thanks in advance, JuliÃ¡n Regards, Thierry

up to date library to access facebook api

by stvienna wiener

hi, is there a up to date library to access the facebook API ('graph api')? The facebook api had major changes in April 2015, so any library that wasn't updated in the last few months is probably not working at all. I looked at this place to find a library: http://smalltalkhub.com/list If there is not a library available, what libraries (e.g., rest client libraries for accessing json APIs) should I use to build my own code? Best, Steve PS: this is my first message to pharo mailing list, I'm new...

Github + Metacello + Baselines

by JuliÃ¡n Maestri

I'm trying to use a BaselineOf approach for development, and wanted to know if I got something wrong. 1. Development must be done on the baseline? 2. Configurations must reference a specific point (commit,tag,branch) of the baseline? 3. My dependencies to other projects must be Baselines or Configurations? Why? BaselineOf: https://github.com/dalehenrich/metacello-work/blob/master/docs/GettingStart… Thanks in advance, JuliÃ¡n

Block that doesn't leak memory

by webwarrior

BlockClosure objects hold reference to object that created them via outerContext receiver. This can cause memory leaks when moving blocks around/deepcopying/serializing. Is there a way to get "lightweight" block that has empty outerContext (like when executing code in Playground) or is there another class for such "lightweight" blocks somewhere? Obviously I'm talking about blocks that don't reference variables in enclosing scope and don't do nonlocal return. -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Block-that-doesn-t-leak-memory-tp4868529.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

sorry, responding to this slipped off my todo-list somehow Excerpts from stepharo's message of 2015-12-10 20:42:27 +0100: > For when do you need that? google code-in is running now, until end of january. new tasks can be added any time. > I have the magritte tutorial and we are writing a web tutorial covering > Mongo and Seaside. this one here? https://ci.inria.fr/pharo-contribution/view/Books/job/Magritte/lastSuccessf… i am afraid, this looks a bit to advanced. it should be possible to work through the tutorial in a few hours (or it should be possible to split it up into multiple tasks.) here are the tasks and tutorials i used last year: http://societyserver.org/mbaehr/learning-smalltalk-with-Google-Code-In i will use some of them again, in particular the one for zinc, as it is very simple and clear, but i am hoping to find more... greetings, martin. -- eKita - the online platform for your entire academic life -- chief engineer eKita.co pike programmer pike.lysator.liu.se caudium.net societyserver.org secretary beijinglug.org mentor fossasia.org foresight developer foresightlinux.org realss.com unix sysadmin Martin BÃ¤hr working in china http://societyserver.org/mbaehr/
