First year I missed in due to my dad going under the knife on that very week end. Nice to have the videos indeed!

I bet they will.

I walk slower because I have smaller legs. Pff, but then I can swim faster than quite a lot of younger people, for longer, and daily. And run. WTF.

Same. No MBP for me, given the current sorry state of affairs.

I am using quite a few machines, some being mine and others being systems I need to use for specific projects. It is getting tiresome to plug and unplug things (albeit some -but no…

shaders?

As a keyboard freak and vim user, I can relate. As a Pharo contributor, well, there is indeed some clicking involved but not as much as you may think. Keybindings are okayish at th…

I am using Linux a ton (actually on clusters of boxes) and have a boatload of tools and languages (including low level C and in the past, assembly). Now, I am also using Pharo to d…

Amen a billion times to that. And then some.

Any feedback on how this went? The even sourcing pattern I mean.

The phone with 4G will not be subjected to stupid corporate firewall rules preventing access to, say, StackOverflow.

Looks like this in Win10: https://imgur.com/a/X9PcgZe Should be better anyway, but it is usable. I already got it better but the VM has changed since and the rendering is not as go…

Because that bit indicates if it is a normal object or an integer (for 32 bit VM)

On the 64 bit VM, we can do better now on the integer front. Floats are also boxed automagically in a 64-bit entry.

This would be a kind of REPL https://github.com/guillep/Scale "Scale aims to take Pharo into the shell. That is, to write shell scripts in Pharo, use its power, and have a better s…

Test suites and test cases. Tests are usually written first and drive the development. When encountering a non existing message, the debugger pops up and asks you if you want to cr…

Not true, I work on a 4K screen and it is clean. Win10 latest. Windows VM, some settings to tweak in Pharo but it works. Upcoming is Bloc, which uses Mozilla2D as rendering engine …

One can save an image. I've done this thing https://github.com/Pharophile/HOImageSaver for example. Nowadays, an image should not be considered as a long lived artifact, one would …

There are a things in it that are not in other Smalltalks (e.g. slots, revamped streams, GToolkit). The point is to be a system to be improved over time. Squeak is more conventiona…

Yes, very true. And a system has a ton of interesting mechanisms. Pharo now has pretty neat git support with Iceberg and Tonel file format.

I have been coding in Pharo while in BigScreen on a Rift. Cool experience. Better with the font size set to medium in Pharo settings.

The move makes sense. Cloudera has cash on board and Hortonworks has excellent technical chops and associated vision. The offering is not Hadoop only. Druid can be deployed with ea…

Hebdogiciel.... A fond!

In C# you have Winforms, WPF versions x,y, z.... and now UWA stuff. And with Xamarin, a slew of other ways. Not that less confusing.

You haven't been looking much then. http://gtoolkit.org
