[OFFTOPIC] Update: Debris Publishing / Quuve Research & Portfolio Management Platform

by Mariano Martinez Peck

Hi all, A while back our team presented Quuve [1], a customizable investment management ecosystem for professional investors. We also discussed the technologies employed to build it [2] (it is developed on Pharo and deployed on GemStone). We are reaching out again because we recently revamped our website [3] and created a number of promotional videos that demonstrate Quuve's power [4]. We would appreciate your help in marketing our wares! Quuve is the world's first fully integrated and customizable research and portfolio management platform. The system offers powerful features never before seen by the investment community and it empowers users to tailor tools in ways that accommodate their idiosyncratic investment style. In the coming years, customization, data-inheritance, shared databases, machine-learning, and robo-trading will become standard among investors of all sizes, and we expect Quuve will blaze the trail. If you have any questions about Quuve please let us know.

Re: [Pharo-users] Problems with PunQLite

by PBKResearch

Hi Esteban Thanks. That has fixed the immediate problem â the tests in PqDatabaseTests are now all green. The effect is weird, because the downloaded .dll just overwrote the old one, so they are in the same place, but now it works. I am still getting some PqFetch errors in testing, but I canât yet give a clear characterisation of the problem. I shall come back when I have some more results.

Doesn't matter where the method is, your state machine clearly has blocks stored as instance variables and you're trying to save the state machine as part of the Order; SandstoneDb doesn't support saving blocks. I'd try what Dennis Suggested and store message sends rather than blocks for the guarded method, then it might save fine. Inspect the state machine, any use of blocks has to be removed/changed to message sends in order for it to be persistable by SandstoneDb. -- Ramon Leon http://onsmalltalk.com ---- peace, sergio photographer, journalist, visionary Public Key:Â http://bit.ly/29z9fG0 #BitMessageÂ BM-NBaswViL21xqgg9STRJjaJaUoyiNe2dV http://www.Village-Buzz.com http://www.ThoseOptimizeGuys.com http://www.coffee-black.com http://www.painlessfrugality.com http://www.twitter.com/sergio_101 http://www.facebook.com/sergio101

Fwd: [CfP][Meta'17] Workshop on Meta-Programming Techniques and Reflection

by Guillermo Polito

Hi all, sorry for multiple copies, ========================================================= Call for Papers: Metaâ17 ======================== Workshop on Meta-Programming Techniques and Reflection Co-located with SPLASH 2017 October 22, 2017, Vancouver, Canada Twitter @MetaAtSPLASH http://2017.splashcon.org/track/meta-2017 The heterogeneity of mobile computing, cloud applications, multicore architectures, and other systems leads to increasing complexity of software and requires new approaches to programming languages and software engineering tools. To manage the complexity, we require generic solutions that can be adapted to specific application domains or use cases, making metaprogramming an important topic of research once more. However, the challenges with metaprogramming are still manifold. They start with fundamental issues such as typing of reflective programs, continue with practical concerns such as performance and tooling, and reach into the empirical field to understand how metaprogramming is used and how it affects software maintainability. Thus, while industry accepted metaprogramming on a wide scale with Ruby, Scala, JavaScript and others, academia still needs to answer a wide range of questions to bring it to the same level of convenience, tooling, and programming styles to cope with the increasing complexity of software systems. This workshop aims to explore meta-level technologies that help tackling the heterogeneity, scalability and openness requirements of emerging computations platforms. ### Topics of Interest The workshop is a venue for all approaches that embrace metaprogramming: - from static to dynamic techniques - reflection, meta-level architectures, staging, open language runtimes applications to middleware, frameworks, and DSLs - optimization techniques to minimize runtime overhead - contract systems, or typing of reflective programs reflection and metaobject protocols to enable tooling - case studies and evaluation of such techniques, e.g., to build applications, language extensions, or tools - empirical evaluation of metaprogramming solutions - security in reflective systems and capability-based designs - meta-level architectures and reflective middleware for modern runtime platforms (e.g. IoT, cyber-physical systems, mobile/cloud/grid computing, etc) - surveys, conceptualization, and taxonomization of existing approaches In short, we invite contributions to the workshop on a wide range of topics related to design, implementation, and application of reflective APIs and meta-programming techniques, as well as empirical studies and typing for such systems and languages. ### Workshop Format and Submissions This workshop welcomes the presentation of new ideas and emerging problems as well as mature work as part of a mini-conference format. Furthermore, we plan interactive brainstorming and demonstration sessions between the formal presentations to enable an active exchange of ideas. The workshop papers will be published in the ACM DL, if not requested otherwise by the authors. Thus, they will be part of SPLASH workshop proceedings. Therefore, papers are to be submitted using the SIGPLAN acmart style: http://www.sigplan.org/Resources/Author/. Please use the provided double-column templates for Latex http://www.sigplan.org/sites/default/files/acmart/current/ acmart-sigplanproc-template.tex) or Word http://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template. - technical paper: max. 8 pages, excluding references - position and work-in-progress paper: 1-4 pages, excluding references - technology demos or a posters: 1-page abstract Demos, posters, position and work-in-progress papers can be submitted on a second, later deadline to discuss the latest results and current work.

But: right now we abuse the requesterscope to implement the feature that you can hand in an additional dictionary with bindings. See testEvaluateWithBindingsWithUppercaseName This change breaks this featureâ¦ but it just means we need to implement this better, which I will do . Marcus
