Thankyou Heather. I use the List to learn and explore new concepts using LiveCode. I find myself spending a lot time these days deleting many post that are meaningless because of these needless Rants. I use or try to use LiveCode because it is so versatile and exciting. I'd like to spend my time

Thank heavens this policy change has finally come. Baseless accusations can end up affecting perception. Surrounded by negative criticism one can actually blame LC for defects that exist in oneself. It has happened to me, where I've tracked down the defect in my own work just before I was going

I very much doubt whether anyone round these parts has ever doubted the integrity of the people who work for LC Ltd. But that should not blind one in other respects. There have been consequences of the recent decision to drop support for an Open Source version of LiveCode: some seemingly positi

There are an infinite number of infinities, and many can be ordered in terms of their “size”. The problem is you need an infinite number of Alephs to talk about them all. The real question is can one talk about all those infinites in an Aleph null number of ticks? Craig > On Oct 28, 2021, at 1
