[Pharo-users] The worst programmer

Today there was a link in the Daily Insider [1] to a really nice blog post [2] featuring Tim Mackinnon as the worst programmer. Congratulations Tim :) Cheers, Christian [1] https://www.codeproject.com/script/Mailouts/View.aspx?mlid=17447

[Pharo-users] Re: Porting from VW to Pharo

Yes, PDFtalk is the only example, because it was created to port that library. Any other uses are welcome. The project has been dormant for a year now because of other obligations, but I hope to resume soon. The documentation is, as Richard notes, in a suboptimal state. I think that the

[Pharo-users] Re: Whats the easiest/cheapest way to run a Pharo web app in 2021?

Yes, this is my camp 😊. Every layer or tool adds many cool features (their raison d'être) which you don’t need for the "easy" setup. You typically need only a handful of the configuration parameters at most (imagine PostgreSQL, Apache, Jenkins etc.). Yet, all the myriad of super-duper feature se

Re: [Pharo-users] Moving/rolling average implementations ?

I don’t see how rounding errors could accumulate, if you keep the sum and not the average. The rounding errors should be neutral, because each element is added once and subtracted once. If + and – is symmetrical in this respect, rounding inaccuracies should balance out. Cheers,

Re: [Pharo-users] Moving/rolling average implementations ?

Hi Cédrick, for smallCharts, I had to implement the same, but for stock market time series, which are a bit bigger than your example (like creating a 38 day moving average over 5 years). Always copying the values to average is far too slow in this case. My solution is to add up the first

In the end, you need to have bitmaps for the screen. Rendering is the projection of vectors onto pixels. But you don't want to lose the vectors, because you need them for interactions (mouse, keyboard focus). I think that it is extremely sexy to have an interactive viewer for PDF! Writing a ren

Yes, reading PDFs is fine with PDFtalk, but what you want is more: Text extraction (there is a chapter in the spec about this). This feature is not yet readily available. Some ground work has been done (content analysis), but for full text extraction more work is needed. Cheers, Christi
