[Pharo-users] Pharo MOOC: Difference between class methods and instance methods

I am an absolute beginner at Pharo and I’m working my way through Pharo by Example as well as the MOOC online. While coding the TinyBlog example in the MOOC, I got stuck until I kind of “guessed” the difference between “TBPost >> methodName” and “TBPost class >> methodName”. I didn’t know I had to

Re: [Pharo-users] Critical issues for Dr. Geo on P6

The problem is explained in the ticket: there is a bug in the position where the drgeo menu shows up when encapsulated in the Playground. It is not related to Glamour however. I may just decide to remove the Dr. Geo menu to avoid the bug. Le 21/07/2017 à 20:50, Tudor Girba a écrit : Can you

[Pharo-users] Iceberg + github without github account

Hello! I use Iceberg with metacelloIntegration: true to have gitlocal:// protocol available to load local git repos. Problem I encountered (while trying to load Mocketry) that Iceberg hijacks github:// protocol and it seems it needs ssh credentials that actually allows access to github. But

Paul - this is very helpful, gosh you learn a lot from what seemed like simple question. Your suggestion along with Subbu’s gives an easy workable solution - I also wonder if the method should be in the image along with the comment explaining half open intervals like you have. Do you think ther

Re: [Pharo-users] How to calculate someone's age elegantly? Does Duration work?

As an aside - there is another way of doing it - but I’m not sure if its clearer (or more efficient): ^ ((aDate year * 1 + (aDate monthIndex * 100) + aDate dayOfMonth - (self year * 1 + (self monthIndex * 100) + self dayOfMonth)) / 1) truncated > On 21 Jul 2017, at

[Pharo-users] Beyond Live Coding

Pharo (Smalltalk) is much more than simply live coding. All of us here dearly love live coding. Kilon states it is possible to do live coding in other languages. I have no experience doing so in any other language. I will say that I know of no other language that it is integral to development i

Re: [Pharo-users] How to calculate someone's age elegantly? Does Duration work?

I remember this was discussed before in the mailing list, not in the context of age calculation, but regarding the offset/duration vs calendar based dates handling. Pharo's core date classes are "incremental", which isn't suited for calendar sensitive calculations. Java core class for those calcul

Re: [Pharo-users] How to calculate someone's age elegantly? Does Duration work?

I hadn’t heard of that library - looks like one to keep in the back of my mind for more serious date related work. I do think that age or ageOn: should be in the standard core particularly when we have so many date and duration related classes - but I’m not sure what the feeling is about adding

Re: [Pharo-users] In Praise of the Very Best Programming Language

Great! Although it might happen silently, many smalltalkers like me value the "public relations" job you decided to lead on your own. So keep promoting Smalltalk! When something has value in itself, it doesn't need to be sold, only needs awareness in the public. Regards! Esteban A. Maringolo

Re: [Pharo-users] How to calculate someone's age elegantly? Does Duration work?

Tim, You might consider a full-fledged framework for it like Chalten: https://github.com/ba-st/chalten I don't know how it handles timezones, because the age calculation might get trickier if you consider also the time of birth and you're querying it from a different timezone ;-) Regards! Esteb

Re: [Pharo-users] How to calculate someone's age elegantly? Does Duration work?

I suppose no one needed it that badly ;-). Age is the difference in years except when the given date's julian is less than self's julian when it is less by 1, so the code can be simplified to: ^aDate year - self year - (aDate dayOfYear < self dayOfYear) ifTrue: [ 1 ] ifFalse: [ 0 ]) BTW, the

Yes that's a good solution, however I'm really surprised that with the plethora of dates, durations, timespans (we are well served with a very rich time and date domain) that this isn't already in the image? It seems very surprising. In fact the group I was working with (other language programm
