OT: Facebook -> Meta (Damaged Infinity!)

Facebook on Thursday announced that it will change its company name to Meta! It figures he would mess with the infinity symbol to try to make it his own! Oh well… Rick ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to

For the record…

In case anybody actually was curious to know how to type an infinity symbol: On a Mac, the keystroke is option-5. Also on the Mac, there's a cute thingie called "Keyboard Viewer" which does what it says on the label. KV displays your entire keyboard, *and* it shows you the complete set of charac

Message Watcher? AHA. My one entry into the "bug” pollI was to complain about random crashes of LC itself now and then. Not likely to have that solved anytime soon. But I am tempted to categorizes as a bug a sorely missing feature of the message watcher: In the Forum "https://forums.livecode.

Re: Mudslinging and consequences - a change to our policy

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

What's the purpose of the .idsig file when building an Android apk? I looked it up and it's related to app signing but I'm not sure whether I need that file for something later or not. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyperactivesw.com HyperActive Software | http://ww

Yes, but the message watcher is way too verbose. I do not need every system message, only the ones called by my own code, and I need to at least be able to discern when procedures exit. My reason is that I have 15+ modules that all need to use the publish and subscribe method I am implementin

"As it turns out, the number of elements of this power set exceeds the number of elements in the set of natural numbers." They have betrayed themselves. The number of anything cannot exceed infinity. Otherwise they are playing a shell game with what they mean by infinity. Bob S > On Oct 28, 2

Hi Bob and Martin, On a Mac the solution is to use the Option and 5 keys. The result is: ∞ All you really had to do was G∞gle it! I remember the math class discussions of a googol and a googolplex. Then I recalled that some infinite sets are bigger than others. The following article will real
