I'm no expert (not even close), but I believe they'd have to run Pharo itself, yes. So you could redistribute the Pharo runtime along with your app code (similar to, say, Python). …

This applies to loops as well. Numbers are objects that accept the `timesRepeat:` message: 10 timesRepeat: [ n := n*2 ]. Not only that, you can send messages to blocks, to implemen…

Anyone interested in playing around with Smalltalk can use https://pharo.org - I recently tried it and was pretty amazed with the quality of documentation available. It is quite a …

There's also Kivy ( http://kivy.org ). Not with a sizeable sponsor like React or Xamarin, but it's Python :D

Would be nice to have a screenshot without the red squiggly underlines.

How do you know it wasn't just a glitch in the Matrix?

I have some projects in Mithril - is it worth it port to Vue?

Could you please elaborate more on mithril vs. vue? Was it ease-of-use, performance or something else that pulled you over?

Often gets lost in the release notes - deploying on Google cloud is super easy: % gcloud compute instances create INSTANCE --image freebsd-11-0-release-p1-amd64 --image-project=fre…

If you're familiar with Python, try the Jupyter notebook (jupyter.org) - very useful for quick visualizations while also allowing you to quickly transform the data when necessary. …

The article mentions this. Also you can write this as `grid[1, 1] = True`

Do LLVM have any support for coroutines? If I wanted to implement a language with Lua-style coroutines, could I target LLVM?

With this you can encrypt one dataset and leave another unencrypted, on the same block device, paying the cost only or the encrypted one.

Oh absolutely, I think Kivy is fantastic and the best option for UI in Python currently. I just wish the community was bigger.

Kivy seems well designed and easy to use - not just for multi-touch but general cross platform UI apps, and phone apps. My only concern is that the community seems small and the si…

Heh yes. There was also a mozilla XUL based terminal many years ago - can't remember the name though.

The argument that we are machines made of meat and so machines made of any other substance may be conscious too is a remarkably weak one to me (a lay person, not a consciousness or…

Do you know if there are any updated benchmark results since the quoted ones are a bit outdated now.
