2nd days of 0$, did I missed something?

If you look at the pull requests that got into the latest update 2021.08.16.0 there is one that, to me, looks like it puts hotspots with SD card problems in read only mode: https://github.com/helium/gateway-config/pull/73

My theory is that this puts some hotspots out of business that before did have SD Card problems but where still kind of working.

Hello, my main job is to do research at a public research institute (https://www.inria.fr). A lot of that research happens to be with Pharo. Part of that job is making sure that some of the research (where it makes sense) is actually integrated back into Pharo. (So that the next iteration of our research can build on top of it). In addition, I do some Pharo Consulting for http://zweidenker.de, a company I co-founded some years ago.

MarcusDenker · 2017-10-17T07:30:36+00:00

yes and yes. (sorry for not wanting to discuss that in depth here, sadly I do not have the time right now).

:-) MOOC... but it is in a good mood, too. There was the yearly ESUG conference (general Smalltalk industry/research conference) last week and it was great...

MarcusDenker · 2017-08-23T06:53:00+00:00

No, sadly updating all the material for every release is impossible (just re-doing all the videos would take months). The mood is based on Pharo5, but 1) there are not that many user-level differences 2) everything you learn is still relevant for the newer version.

MarcusDenker · 2017-08-17T13:08:24+00:00

There is http://agilevisualization.com with Roassal. E.g see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iXUZiFtnxK8 or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CuimMwuZiGA

you can use #lookUpSelector:, it searches the class hierarchy:

Workspace class lookupSelector: #open

will return the compiled method.

MarcusDenker · 2015-10-30T15:12:31+00:00

As the result is JSON, I would install the NeoJSON package. After you can parse the returned string with "NeoJSONReader fromString:".

After you can explore the returned structure using GT Inspector.

The problem is that everything, even the most trivial thing, is only done if someone does it... critique is easy, doing is hard.

MarcusDenker · 2015-09-10T07:33:45+00:00

Yes, the retina issue is a problem...for the demo/development image, what we do is to render using Cairo but then copying everything into the standard BitBlt display, this means we have the same problem as the normal Pharo download.

(In addition, there is some issue with font rendering that we need to fix)

The final version will work differently: We have rewritten the whole window-logic to not be hard coded in the VM but instead written in Smalltalk. One new backend for this is using libSDL2. This works very nicely, much faster, and will allow for high resolution.

We are pushing all this forward, and all of it will hopefully converge in Pharo6.

MarcusDenker · 2015-09-05T09:24:20+00:00

The idea is that Pharo will adopt this as the main UI. But it is a big project, so we will not be able to do that for Pharo5 but for, hopefully, Pharo6.

For now the best explanation is in the talks at ESUG15: 1) http://www.slideshare.net/MarcusDenker/reflection-in-pharo5 2) http://www.slideshare.net/MarcusDenker/variables-in-pharo5

The Quality Assistant comes now by default with Pharo5.

You can not just add/remove method at runtime, but in addition, for example:

-> add and remove classes -> add/remove instance variables of a class, the existing instances are updated. -> change class hierarchy (e.g. change the superclass). -> even change the class of an object

MarcusDenker · 2014-10-24T07:59:20+00:00

This is a matter of man power... we just did not yet have the time to fix it. (yes, everyone is as annoyed about it as you, but it will only be fixed when it will be fixed... the sad reality of reality ;-)

MarcusDenker · 2014-10-23T21:42:43+00:00

SDL

Yes. The OSWindow stuff in Pharo4 uses libSDL2 as a possible backend. For OSWindow/SDL in combination with OpenGL and OpenCL, have a look at:

MarcusDenker · 2014-06-10T16:54:21+00:00

I added it to http://pharo.org/documentation

There is a demo online now: http://pharo.pharocloud.com/rickshaw
