Pekr 17-May-2010 [3229] | Maxim - I just think that you know nothing ... |
Steeve 17-May-2010 [3230] | the atmosphere is a bit tense lately |
Maxim 17-May-2010 [3231] | some people like it that way ;-) |
Pekr 17-May-2010 [3232] | the biggest problem is not the development, or the lack of thereof, but the lack of communication. I think that one short message per week or two on Twitter would not hurt :-) Just last two working days, I experienced the same - I am leading our corporate site roll-out to 8 branches abroad. Marketing managers involved. While I worked like mad for last week, I started to receive emails, asking for the status update - and that's it - ppl just want to plan a bit their things. When I explained other branches, what I am busy with, they stopped asking, and I will update them once per week, till I finish the job ... and that's it ... correct communications .... |
BrianH 18-May-2010 [3233] | two releases last week? where? - Alpha 98 and 99, in the usual place. |
Pekr 18-May-2010 [3234] | 2-3 weeks ago? |
BrianH 18-May-2010 [3235x2] | Less than 2 weeks. |
You do realize that Carl went to a conference after a99, right? He twittered about it and everything. | |
Rebolek 18-May-2010 [3237] | Is there some simple way how to extract values of one datatype (eg. string!) from a block! ? Something like filter [...] string! ? |
Henrik 18-May-2010 [3238] | remove-each val blk [not string? val] |
Rebolek 18-May-2010 [3239x2] | Thanks Henrik! |
and is there a function like ALTER but that adds a value to a block if not present and leaves block as is if value is already present? | |
Henrik 18-May-2010 [3241] | I think this was just discussed a few days ago in this group. Search for ENTAIL. |
Rebolek 18-May-2010 [3242] | I just see a lengthy discussion about that function's name... Nevermind, I wrote one myself already. It's faster than to use AltME's search. |
DideC 18-May-2010 [3243] | INCLUDE : if I pick the usage well, it can be named APPENDNEW. The tradeoff if the length, but its shorter than the either statement anyway. So we can have an INSERTNEW too. |
Pekr 18-May-2010 [3244] | ANEW, INEW |
Maxim 18-May-2010 [3245] | INCLUDE. why is everyone dancing around this word. <sigh> this is what the word means. union is merging two sets. Including, means adding to a set. since a set is by definition a collection of unique items, I don't see what's the problem. |
Steeve 18-May-2010 [3246] | INCLUDE, includes several meanings. |
Andreas 18-May-2010 [3247] | and in set theory, "set inclusion" is just another name for the subset relation |
Steeve 18-May-2010 [3248x8] | INCLUDE has the drawback to be already used for other purposes in computer languages (like preprocessor). We simply could peek a synonym, they are many. COMPRISE, CONSIST, CONTAIN, HOLD, CONTAIN, BEAR, CARRY, INTEGRATE. A short one if possible... |
CONTAIN is not bad | |
matter of taste... | |
i like HOLD because it's short | |
CATCH is not bad either... | |
oh.. already used, forget it | |
eh ! what about PROPOSE ? | |
it has a sense of a contionnal action... no ? | |
Gregg 18-May-2010 [3256x2] | I like #INCLUDE as a preprocessor directive, and I wouldn't mind if the function (e.g. Ladislav's INCLUDE) had a different name, like ASSEMBLE. I know he has a BUILD func already, |
I also don't mind if I need to port things to a new system for R3, as many things need to be revisited anyway. As long as I can run old R2 scripts side-by-side easily. The important thing, then, is getting everyone on the same page with regard to the various domains, steps, and responsibilities of design, assembly, and deployment. | |
Andreas 18-May-2010 [3258] | just call the "missing" function UPSERT and be done with it. will also fit nicely, if you add special treament of "keyed" records to it (using the usual /skip and /part refinements). |
Pekr 19-May-2010 [3259] | Max, Robert - thanks for offering Carl a help with the Help Kit maintanance. If we do it, I buy Android phone to test R3 :-) I was also thinking about the Beagle board, etc. Simply I would like to see R3 on ARMs, as in mobile sphere, they are - everywhere ... |
Maxim 19-May-2010 [3260] | I am also thinking of buying a beagle board, for robotic experimentation with my kids. |
AdrianS 19-May-2010 [3261] | Are these more versatile than a plug computer? I guess so if you want to use 3D and the other media related IO ports, but otherwise how do they compare? |
Maxim 19-May-2010 [3262x2] | they are motherboards which you can use to make plug computers |
they have everything on-board (even a graphic chip IIRC) and standard connectors right on the board. | |
Pekr 19-May-2010 [3264] | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beagle_Board |
Maxim 19-May-2010 [3265] | the graphics actually aren't that bad (10 million polys a second!) |
Pekr 19-May-2010 [3266] | We are registered with Texas Instrumets, and they have new DaVinci gfx chip - http://focus.ti.com/dsp/docs/dspplatformscontento.tsp?sectionId=2&familyId=1300&tabId=1855&DCMP=dm368_041410_eu&HQS=Other+EM+dm368elp-ee |
amacleod 19-May-2010 [3267x2] | or this board...$49 - CM-X300 Computer-On-Module http://www.compulab.co.il/x300/html/x300-cm-datasheet.htm?gclid=CPinmdrk3qECFaEN5QodCgu1KA |
although you can find Arm based laptops for under $100. You already get the keyboard and screen.... | |
Maxim 19-May-2010 [3269] | too much cool stuff out there ;-) |
Graham 23-May-2010 [3270] | What are people actually using R3 for at present? |
Robert 24-May-2010 [3271] | Internal tools, prtotyping to see how far we can go with it, up-front development of necessary libs |
Graham 24-May-2010 [3272] | Are there anythings you are doing that can't be done with r2? |
Henrik 24-May-2010 [3273] | there will be soon. |
Graham 24-May-2010 [3274] | I'm looking for the compelling business proposition to shift my apps to R3 ... |
Sunanda 24-May-2010 [3275] | UNICODE support? |
Henrik 24-May-2010 [3276] | I don't think you should do that yet. Wait 6-12 months and see what tools are around. What RM Asset is developing is mostly backend/tools stuff, to make sure that developing boring business apps becomes a smooth and quick process and some of these things wouldn't work well in R2 or would be hampered by various already known showstoppers. We have to think forward and build this stuff under R3 now, otherwise we will have two things: A fast and poorly supported platform to build apps on (R3) and a slow and limited platform to build apps on (R2), and we don't want that, do we? Besides, RM Asset already has some target apps in mind for R3. Also given how R3 uses a hostkit, gives everyone much more control over how they want certain things done or add special extensions to, say, graphics or database capability without having to ask Carl to add it. I think you will appreciate that this stuff is done first, so you can build a good app in a few days, rather than spending 2 months doing it. It'll save you a good bit of money too. This involves GUI test tools, customer feedback mechanisms built into the GUI, quickly integrating a GUI with a database, completing the GUI generally, various extensions, such as the high speed networking extensions needed for xpeers-II. |
Pekr 24-May-2010 [3277x2] | Customer feedback into the GUI? I am really interested to know, what is VID turning into :-) Or is functionality as "customer feedback mechanism" an addon? Maybe it would be helpful to have some high-level diagram, about GUI components ... |
Will there be anything to test in 1-2 months period? I would be interested e.g. in testing new styles you are creating ... | |
