Hi everybody We really want to build a "vitrine" showroom of Pharo and we would you to participate. We want to build a web page with all these successes and show it to the world. :) We would like to get from you a three slides document: slide one: a sexy picture and a teaser / who you are. slide two: what is it how cool is it. slide three: what cool pharo techno you used or developed. I did a bad one using DrGeo to give you an idea. So can you please send us these three slides. We would like to present them during the Pharo conf and after put them on the web. Stef and marcus.

[ANN] LRUDictionary
by Norbert Hartl May 12, 2012

May 12, 2012

I like to announce a tiny utility I did for my last project. It is only a single class that basically works like LRUCache internally but on the outside it is more like a dictionary. And it has no factory block. If you don't know LRUCache, it's a fixed size dictionary that sorts its elements by usage in a "Least Recently Used" fashion. Meaning the last used element is put in front and the least used at the end. Elements get discarded at the end if space is full. Apart from #at: that is provided by LRUCache , LRUDictionary implements to following methods at:ifAbsent: at:ifAbsentPut: at:ifPresent: at:put: removeAt: removeKey: removeKey:ifAbsent It is available here MCHttpRepository location: 'http://source.selfish.org/mc/misc' user: '' password: '' Blog article is here http://norbert.hartl.name/blog/lrudictionary/ hope you like it, Norbert

student project: a simple recognizer
by stephane ducasse May 10, 2012

Hi guys Here is a topic for somebody that would like to have fun with events. There is a javascript version and it would be cool to have a version for Pharo. http://depts.washington.edu/aimgroup/proj/dollar/ http://www.lifl.fr/~casiez/PJE/OneDollar.pdf It is probably close to Genie but at least the algorithms are clearly defined.

FYI: No JIT on Windows 8 for ARM - luajit - FreeLists
by Sven Van Caekenberghe May 10, 2012

May 10, 2012

That means no official CogVM then ? Both ARM and x86 seems to be problematic. http://www.freelists.org/post/luajit/FYI-No-JIT-on-Windows-8-for-ARM Luckily I am not on Windows ;-) Mac OS X is also moving slowly in the wrong direction of a couple of fronts. Maybe it becomes time to switch to Linux for everything, if only a nicely built 100% supported laptop existedâ¦ Sven

Fwd: Do you know any candidates for assistant positions in our department
by StÃ©phane Ducasse May 10, 2012

May 10, 2012

Begin forwarded message: > From: Kim Mens <Kim.Mens(a)uclouvain.be> > Subject: Do you know any candidates for assistant positions in our department > Date: May 10, 2012 10:28:45 AM GMT+02:00 > To: researchers RELEASED <released(a)listes.uclouvain.be> > > Dear all, > > I am urgently looking for possible candidates to fill up some teaching and research assistants in our department. Such an assistant typically has teaching and research duties and gets up to 6 years to obtain a PhD (to be renewed every 2 years). The 6 years is because of the extra teaching load as compared to a normal researchers. Regarding research, they get to choose what professor they want to do research with and negotiate the research topic with him; evidently I'm open to have them under my guidance, but the choice is up to them. Regarding teaching, the teaching charges are distributed equally among the different assistants based on their capacities and interests. The positions are very interesting, and they get a real contract and fair salary (as compared to some other countries). A university level degree of master in computer science or computing science engineering (or something equivalent) is a must. (For foreigners, equivalence of their diploma will need to be verified but that can be done afterwards I think.) Knowledge of French is strongly desired because the bachelor years are still taught in French and we are already quite short on French-speaking researchers to help out with teaching duties in the bachelor years. Knowledge of English is also positive since our Master years are taught in English. Anyway, if you would know anyone, please pass them this information. The deadline is very short since all forms need to be filled in and submitted electronically by May 18, which would mean they need to start working on it right now. A internal selection commission of professors from our department will select the three best candidates from all those who applied. > > More instructions on how to apply can be found here : > http://www.uclouvain.be/11617.html > The candidate needs to fill out the digital form that is available there. If they click on "Listes des postes vacants" they will see the different vacancies currently available for the entire university. The ones related to our department can be found under the faculty "Ecole Polytechnique de Louvain" and more specifically the vacancies with identification numbers 00001941, 00002203, en 00004257. > You will see that 2 of these 3 have a description that is particularly dedicated to computer science. The third one looks more general, but in fact it has been decided recently that it will also go to computer science, but we weren't able to change the description anymore. Interested candidates should thus fill in the form and are strongly advised to apply to each of the 3 positions, even though they can receive only one. (I agree the procedure is a bit absurd, but what did you expect, this is Belgium.) > > Of course you can always contact me for more information or if the procedure is not 100% clear (even though I also had to look all of this up on the official university webpage). > > That's it for now... > > Thanks for your attention to this mail. > > Prof. Kim Mens > UniversitÃ© catholique de Louvain (UCL) > Institute of Information & Communication Technologies, Electronics and Applied Mathematics (ICTEAM) > IngÃ©nierie Informatique (INGI) > Place Sainte Barbe 2, B-1348 Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgique > kim.mens(a)uclouvain.be > > >

Listening on sockets

May 9, 2012

Why doesn't the second listen fail? And is there a way to fail if a port is already in use? socket := Socket newTCP. socket listenOn: 8088. socket2 := Socket newTCP. socket2 listenOn: 8088. (socket isValid and: [ socket2 isValid ]) ifTrue: [ self error: 'how can I be listening twice on the same port?!' ]. socket destroy. socket2 destroy -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Listening-on-sockets-tp4618129.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
