LC PDF User Guide

2019-12-12 Thread Kurt Kaufman via use-livecode
Thanks so much for bringing this to my attention. I was aware of the LC User Guide in the past, but hadn't realized (or had forgotten) that it is in the PDF format, and as such, is easy to duplicate and press into service on a tablet for browsing or when assistance is required. Kurt Richard Ga

There are probably quite a few who, like me, have used LC/RR/MC for years, creating in-house labor-saving devices (for myself, they are mostly of the variety "pull A,B, and C from X, rearrange them and format them to Y, and spit the result out as a text file"). Could I have [attempted] to write

I apologize that, in addition to being someone who almost never contributes to this list (although I do read the posts I can understand), when I finally do it's OT. But so it goes: https://www.technologyreview.com/s/609048/the-seven-deadly-sins-of-ai-predictions/ Kurt

I'm very glad to see that we all could come together to support this promising endeavor! Even though I'm not doing much programming at the moment, I do use my LC-based applications everyday in a professional setting, and have a significant interest in seeing continued support for LC. Thanks to a

"Luckily, here in Bulgaria, as well as in Britain, we never have to face medical bills as we have socialised medicine; very civilised." Having lived in Belgium, in general I can vouch for the civility of the socialized medical system. However, I believe that physicians there still have to send

Had a call from a doctor who recently switched medical billers. Seems her new biller used software that did not display all of the fields in the caret-delimited text files ("iPlexus") that were sent as batched bills. It took just a few hours (and would have taken some on the list here far less t

More fun with LC's binaryEncode functions (see the card script): http://www.kkef.org/MIDIBuilder031212.rev It must be pretty quick to accept from user input an ascii representation of a musical note, convert it to binary from which a MIDI file is constructed and played, then add the input to an

Re: iOS; Android: manual sound recording level

2012-01-01 Thread Kurt Kaufman
It's odd, perhaps, when you consider that earlier mobile phone software, such as Symbian s60, offered manually-adjustable sound recording levels at least as far back as 2005. Perhaps the capability will be rolled-out over time with revisions to iOS and Android. But I would guess that many people

iOS; Android: manual sound recording level

2011-12-30 Thread Kurt Kaufman
