Label truncation in new Pharo 8.0 64-bit (stable)
by Shaping April 19, 2020

April 19, 2020

Hi everyone. Below is a Pharo 8.0 64-bit (stable) image (installed with the new Launcher 2.0) with two changes: -Light theme selected. -FiraCode 11 chosen as the default font. Truncated labels in the GUI on font change has always been a problem. Am I the only one experiencing this?

Pharo Launcher is mostly compatible with the previous one. When using Pharo Launcher 2.0, image metadata will be converted from the old format to the new one. I added an upgrade section on Pharo Launcher documentation: https://pharo-project.github.io/pharo-launcher/installation/#upgrade-notes Tell me if this is enough. Regards, Christophe

Minimality
by CÃ©drick BÃ©ler April 17, 2020

April 17, 2020

Just a reflexion that Iâd like to share here. When Hilaire talks about complexity. I have to agree too, even if I like the progress under the hood, and explored spaces like GToolkit. But how to change such legacy beast, the pharo image ? Potential is huge but resistance is also tough for so few peopleâ¦ Just imagining changing method protocols seems so complex at the end ! Instead, Iâd start with minimal images, bootstrapped ones. A system I would love to understand every bits. Iâm pretty sure this is what lots of us have in mind and the progress in bootstrap has been teasing us ;-) <dreamMode> For instance, Iâd want minimal images that would be able to deal with collections of informations (text/data processing) with (web)socket connectivity or whatever cheapest way to communicate. It would be some kind of information store, a minimal image that can store information objects and that I can interact with a client in a full pharo image (or in a web browser). Wouldnât it be possible to start from scratch, literally from nothing (nil) and define little by little what necessary and along the way define minimal protocols, minimal Object class and then iteratively a clean collection hierarchy until â¦ (for me) â¦ the information store. That would probably need some filesystem support but itâs not an obligation. Iâd far prefer web socket stream support and interaction with object only within the image. Another image could be responsible of exporting information objects to filesâ¦ It also need some basic mime types support and probably parsing (xml/html, json, geojson, ical, â¦). I donât know well. But it has to be iteratively done anyway. I imagine there are not one but several images (and therefore source code) that would lead to functionally equivalent images. There should be some ways to abstract functionalities we expect of a system (if people have pointers on that) ? We could even imagine like a Contest to come up with the nicest pharo images (contest driven by tests ^^). Depending on the functionality coverage, thatâd be just crazy to see similarities between code/imagesâ¦ </dreamMode> Is it feasible, does some of the remarks makes sense to some of you ? At least, Caro, as we talked a bit, your writings on such a quest will be terrific, and Iâm sure well followed ;-) Have a nice Easter Monday, CÃ©drick

[Demo]: Remote Control Mac Apps (like OBS) via Pharo on iOS
by Sean P. DeNigris April 17, 2020

April 17, 2020

I used Pharo to turn an iPhone into a tethered remote control for apps on my Macbook Pro. Code available on GitHub. Here's a video in case anyone finds it interesting: https://youtu.be/z59FWpv4_GA NB: Could be made wireless with a Duet Display Air subscription. ----- Cheers, Sean -- Sent from: http://forum.world.st/Pharo-Smalltalk-Users-f1310670.html

Internet connection active
by dario.trussardi65 April 16, 2020

April 16, 2020

Ciao, i have a Pharo 7.0.3 image run on Ubuntu system. Sometime the internet connection go down. In this status when i do the: NetNameResolver addressForName: 'www.esug.org' timeout: 1 the system is busy for 20 seconds ( for any request ). The timeout: 1 is not considered. Question: how i can test if the internet connection is up before submit any NetNameResolver request ? Googling in VisualBasic i found the ActiveConnection It return true if internet connection is active. Equivalent in Pharo - Gemstone ? Thanks, Dario
