Re: [Pharo-users] New project Forum on CI not building

The job seems to be in a very strange state.

When I try to edit the config, I can not.

A problem occurred while processing the request. Please check our bug tracker 
to see if a similar problem has already been reported.

Thanks Marcus,

Green build!

The mail I got from the build failure provides a clue. I should have browsed to 
the specific
version of the job to find the results.

I’ve seen that with several jobs, and it stopped me from fixing it.
Someone did something about it (upgrade the plugin?), as I was now able to fix 
it.

Hi!

Apache is used as a frontend server, and many images are indeed in the
db, thus served through Pharo.

The Pharo image is a 1.4, the VM is Cog, with a typical Mongo+Voyage
setup. Most of the DB data is cached by Voyage, which partly explains
the speed.

Mongo and Pharo are running on the same machine, there's no special
caching except for what Voyage provides by default.

The Iliad app is served by Kom, and we have many bash scripts to monitor,
auto-restart and manage the app (we manage SmalltalkHub in a similar
way).

Cheers,
Nico

Re: [Pharo-users] News Page

[Robert Shiplett]

But what if Pharo developers loaded the Curl plugin into their browser ?
Curl has great dynamic loading for such situations ( as needed by my old 1
CPU core Wind'd XP laptop ;-)

{pharoNewsLine {urlBase {www www.curl.com}}  {topic "markup that JSON folks
should love"} {whatever } }  || humour

Curl RTE ... for when HTML + JavaScript + CSS is just a needless pain -
(and when a markup dialect is just smarter ;-)

But the news page is more for external people. And it’s just too long. The 
solution is to a) workaround: make is smaller b) move to a better blog for the 
news.

I hope that someone will develop pagination feature in future. We cal also use 
smaller font (just kidding). Maybe for now new news will stay there and old 
ones can be moved to the other page called archive? Or we sonly show titles for 
older news.

Cheers.

" humour from Canada on ice" " Lcurlr class comment "

Pharo Smalltalk remains just the best way to generate dynamic Curl markup
via Seaside3 or Aida ... although nunjucks with node.js is fine for
text-edit dev server-side, I guess ... or Wicket on java if need be ...
there are SO few frameworks loosely bound to web markup choice ...

but since Curl runs in most any browser or on most any OS ... If only KOBO
had chosen Curl for e-book markup after their acquisition by Rakuten ! ...
Well, there's always Ottawa QNX at Blackberry while they are still Canadian
...

AND having NEVER given up on Smalltalk, I am not likely to give up on Curl
! Now back to OS/2 1.3 on my 3dfx i386 with the i387 co-pro ... but where
is that Betamax video on using DBX 2 with Quadraphonic 8-track conversions
? ... Ah, here with my hi-fi (Canadian) Pacific Microsonic HDCD's ...
crushed between my killer Samsung and Toshiba Nuon programmable DVD players
... with my unusable Version 2 iTouch and complete with its final upgrade
to iOS 3.0 !!! Wadda dinosaur find that is !  But at least the i3 App's
have no pending updates in the PommeMag !  Now where is that serial
joystick cable ? Oh ... hidden under "Rebol For Dummies"

And it is fast.


This surprised me too. I was expecting a Zinc server somewhere, but it
uses Kom, so the speed must come from Illiad.
  
  
I think the speed comes from knowing very well what you are doing and
optimising the right things, probably lots of caching on different
levels ;-)


That is totally true.

But still... sometimes the tools used impose a minimum (or maximum)
performance, memory requirements, etc.
E.g. I'm considering moving away from Seaside-REST to bare Zinc
delegators. But that's a topic for other story. :)


  
Exactly what I did the last weeks :)

The whys-and-how-fors of that might make a good blog post somewhere. 
I'd like to know what a "bare Zinc delegator" is.

[Pharo-users] [ANN] CJSolver

[Luc Fabresse]

Hi all,

As a teacher, I always try to find new programming exercices for students.
I discovered the CodeJam coding contest that provides problems and their
data sets. We can also upload a solution on the website and it tells us if
it is right or wrong.

Example of problem:
   http://code.google.com/codejam/contest/dashboard?c=351101#s=p2

So, I did a little framework (CJSolver) to make it easier to read data sets
and write result files.

More info here:

http://car.mines-douai.fr/2014/01/cjsolver-a-framework-to-solve-problems-of-the-codejam-programming-contest/

 The code is on Smalltalkhub but since I also wanted to commit data set
files and correct results, I also have a github repo here:

 https://github.com/LucFabresse/CJSolver

 You can checkout the code, test it, implement solution to other problems
or *optimize* already implemented solutions (I did the simplest version
;-)) and sometimes it is slow on big data sets.

have fun,

#Luc

DONE (by the support of CmsBox… thanks!)

The news site now shows 5 items (with a  navigator at the bottom)
