I remember Paul de Bruicker (cc'ed) used a similar service to get user profiles (with first and last name and pictures, so you can "simulate" users in your app, and you could ask for male or female profiles). I don't remember the name, hopefully he will :) Esteban A. Maringolo On Mon, Apr 29, 20

Re: [Pharo-users] how to model this a better way

Roelof, I second Richard on that. Maybe Exercism is important, but I don't know if is important enough to consider quitting Smalltalk because of the experience solving a problem there. Maybe sharing some of our personal experiences learning Smalltalk, the struggles and joys on that could put

Ah, also quite interesting. With the latest Zn loaded: Metacello new repository: 'github://svenvc/zinc/repository'; baseline: 'ZincHTTPComponents'; load. You can do: ZnClient new systemPolicy; forJsonREST; url: 'https://uinames.com/api'; queryAt: #region put: #germany; queryAt:

Re: [Pharo-users] Getting example images - https://picsum.photos

I forgot the "ext" query parameter which gives the image urls so ZnClient new systemPolicy; forJsonREST; url: 'https://uinames.com/api'; queryAt: #region put: #germany; queryAt: #gender put: #female; queryAt:#ext put: nil; get. -- Sent from: http://forum.world.st/Pharo-Sma

Crying victory too soon: Alas, it happened again pharo screen frozen, partly drawn, when going to full screen ( see image.) frustrating. The strange thing however: the Seaside/Zinc server kept running that is: I could enter and save data in in my test app running in the web browser! No idea w

[Pharo-users] Why doesn't the VM command line help show the useful image commands anymore?

I was asked a question about starting pharo exercism from the command line on Arch linux - seems the Pharo.image file isn’t being found (but it was installed with AUR, which I am unfamiliar with). Anyway - I tried using the command line on OSX ( I noticed they had used pharo, and not pharo-ui —

Re: [Pharo-users] how to model this a better way

For what it is worth, I have now completed two thirds of the Exercism tasks for Pharo. That's about 24 of them, maybe 1 or 2 more. ONE of them warranted the creation of another class (the Tournament exercise deserves a Team class). MOST of them were no-data classes with just one method. A couple of
