World: r3wp

Thanks, it's not needed, I figured how to post :)

I can post if it is.

Posted.

Seen :)

So actually, vectors are only for storing index purpose (to save 
memory).
Because Carl has only that need.
Hum...
He could use binary series instead, if it's his only one need.

Vectors without maths are only binary streams with less capabilties.

i use bniaries to store large index since several years with R2

lol
>> v: make vector! [integer! 16 2 #{01020304}]

]]


Brian, no Big endian, no little endian, it's a new format: little 
byte

Steeve, don't take an example as being the sole use.

How do I fix this:

Couldnt get a file discriptor referring to the console.

I'm using Ubuntu Linux 8.10

When does that happen? Are you trying to launch rebol?

Anton, after launching R3, when I type "docs"

That should open a browser window, which may not work under Linux 
yet.

Henrik, too bad.  I hope that changes soon.

What happens if you type: browse http://www.google.com?

Command not found.

Interesting. Curecode reports a very different issue in ticket 710.

If I gave Firefox the alias of "browse"  would that solve this problem?

Wait a minute: Are you typing the browse command in R3 or in the 
shell? You must type it in R3.

In the shell.  In R3 I get the error mentioned above.

It won't help in the shell, so it's a BROWSE bug.

Louis: You can redefine browse at R3
browse: funct [ url ][ print ["Can't open "  url]]

So when you write docs o bugs command you'll see the url and can 
copy and paste to Firefox or Opera

Louis: Better solution
browse: funct [ url ] [ call reform [ "x-www-browser" url ]]

And browse works, and all commnads based on browse ( docs, bug, changes 
) too

Is anyone else following the Rebol3 blog using the Google Reader? 
 Its the only blog that i follow in which the text is poorly formatted. 
 Basically the entries appear as one big paragraph., and is hard 
to follow as a result

maybe the RSS feed should be HTML?

I have no knowledge of how the reader interprets the rss, but its 
the only feed of 20 which shows up this way, which is not very conducive 
or complementary

think i should mention it over on the r3 chat?

I don't think there is a big chance it will be fixed by Carl right 
now. However, if you get the source and provide your own fix, it's 
likely that he would use it.

that's what i thought, unfortunately i don't have the html knowledge. 
  I wonder is anyone using any other news readers?

I use Safari's RSS reader and it's badly formatted there too.

ok so he's probably aware of it

I was going to compare the output of his feed to that of Monologue, 
and make it match. Monologue works in Google Reader.

thanks BrianH, for my edification could you put some message about 
what was needed?

What happened to the system/user object?  I just downloaded Rebol 
3 a-51 and it's not there anymore.

The system/user object was removed in the great system reorg of alpha 
46. The only setting in system/user that was of any use was system/user/home. 
That setting is likely to be put back somewhere else, probably in 
system/options with a different name.

There are going to be some more changes to system - like removing 
system/words - but most of the changes were done in alpha 46.

BrianH, thanks for the info.

ManuM, thanks!

hmm, http coming as first module - working in next version ...

Brian - Carl did some change to module creation and referred to objects 
too. I know that you are after context spec changes, so just a reminder 
to watch Carl's changes :-)

I noticed that. I'm giving it some thought - it seems like a cheap 
fix, but it might not be bad. The HTTP scheme needs some work.

Carl, while you're here: Post the update blog for May, please! We'd 
like to know what you're up to :)

BrianH: already requested earlier today on R3 Chat :-)

BrianH: maybe Carl here is visiting using new R3 based Altme GUI 
client? :-)

I'm seconding your request :)

Will do.

I recently skimmed over a *new* implementation of multiprocessing 
in Python 2.6 and 3.0. Really new. Great model - it could be how 
tasks work in R3

http://docs.python.org/library/multiprocessing.html

Henrik:<I can only emphasize the importance of submitting Curecode 
reports.>


If you look at some very recent bug reports (numbers 700 -- 799), 
over half of them have been resolved, often within days
    46 built and/or tested (ie fixed) 
     8 dismissed (not actual bugs)

There seems no better time to report R3 problems than now!


The rest are Reviewed, Deferred or Waiting.....So still on the action 
list.

what happened with ordinal accessors in R3, what replaces them?
