I thought TIL stood for Threaded Interpretive Language, as per Forth or Factor
Re:Pharo 4.0 Released
on Thursday April 16, 2015 @05:08PM (#9390760)
I installed this for Ubuntu 12.04. When I fired it up, it requested I choose and build a source file (different from Pharo 3). Then when it started, it said, "Pharo cannot locate the source file named /usr/lib/pharo-vm/PharoV40.sources.
Any ideas what to do?
TIA, Steve

Mark,
I believe you reviewed mocl. It would be interesting to see your comparison of the two.

Wonderful idea. I had a similar thought for a particular set of books using a browser (in large mode) for controlling.
Congratulations!!!

The practitioner software I saw was built in dBASE III or dBASE III+.

I get an error on a number of the examples when executing them with Pharo 3.0 on Win 7x64. For example:
Unknown character ->(ZnServer startDefaultOn: 8080) onRequestRespond: [ :request | ZnResponse ok: (ZnEntity with: DateAndTime now printString) ]

PG: It could be instructive to be able to compare your new version with what is currently available.
Re:Learn the M programming language, and teach it to others.

Great article. I've worked with M for over 2 decades in various healthcare institutions. It's amazing how it has supported multi-user systems from 286's to minicomputers (remember them?) to IBM mainframes to today's servers. In one large company we had the same application running on OpenVMS, Unixware, Linux and Windows. While there are domains in which it is not appropriate, for storing and accessing large amounts of indexed data, it is hard to beat.
And the syntax of the base language does not pose the barrier of entry that some more modern languages might.

Re:An iPhone,the 4th amendment & TSA (airport screening) policy "change"

I'm not sure that the average traveler/voter can judge what is good security. What seems plain to me is that there is no totally safe place on this planet and that the better alternative to hoping that TSA has caught the bad guys, is to allow everyone the inalienable right to defend themselves. Could there be a downside to this? Yes, but at least they would be responsible for their own defense and would not have been disarmed by their own government.
