Large Image Generator

by Benoit St-Jean

Just read that announcement (https://pharoweekly.wordpress.com/2020/01/29/ann-large-image-generator/) on Pharo Weekly. Anyone knows more about the precise goal of that project?Â What is the exact purpose of those images and what are we trying to test?Â Garbage collection?Â The VM behavior under stress? Limitations of Pharo on a specific OS? A reference against which future versions will be benchmarked for performance? Iceberg and code management performance? How base classes react when they have to deal with millions of objects (e.g. a Bag with 15 million objects, forking 15000 processes, creating 20000 semaphores, etc) ? -- ----------------- BenoÃ®t St-Jean Yahoo!

Re: [Pharo-users] Another Smalltalk Poll

by Offray Vladimir Luna CÃ¡rdenas

Hi, Probably many Smalltalkers would select all of those options. I wonder if the poll software you are using allows you or sort the answers, so instead of knowing the main reason(s), you can get the priority behind them.

That's right. The poll is for non-Smalltalkers. The goal is to identify the pain points and then to respond to those points in a future blog post.

Is this a poll you expect none of us to take? Maybe - itâs too productive and fun, real programmers should be made to suffer Sent from my iPhone > On 29 Jan 2020, at 13:00, Esteban Maringolo <emaringolo(a)gmail.com> wrote: > > Final and correct option: All the above :-D > > Esteban A.

Thanks a lot Noury. It's pretty inspiring. There is any possibility to access the apk directly or via F-Droid, for those of us who don't use Google services?
