Yeah, sure. But why would I put effort into providing the dependencies to Pharo on silver platter? I engaged here just to show that it, indeed, doesn't work for me and I'm not misrepresenting anything . Now, it even looks like a

I mean... it executed code that was supposed to print "Hello world\n" and it did print that, so how is it not working? :) I have no idea why is libgit needed to boot a VM (is it even?), but evidently some functionality is still av

Here: https://gist.github.com/piotrklibert/e953b7bf85821f88f02a3c2... If you have an image with Seaside project (they should work in headless mode) or something similar laying around I can try running it, I suspect it&

It seems to work. I found Pharo 10 on disk, running it like this: -▶ ~/portless/pharolauncher/pharo-vm/pharo --headless Pharo10-SNAPSHOT-64bit-0618067.image a.st with a.st: Object subclass: #BenchmarksGame

Quoting from your link: COMMAND LINE: /opt/src/pharo-vm-Linux-x86_64-stable/pharo --headless [...] Yeah. It indeed works. With --headless. It's "just" incapable of displaying GUI. I use Fedora

Ah, yes. "Entitlement"... I'd say: to show that its authors have a sense of decency , at least. But let's not assassinate the lads any more than this.

No. This is easily the weakest part of Smalltalk IDEs. And with Morphic-based ones, you can't even fix it with a tiling window manager or something, since it's just one window for the rest of the OS. There's no way of organiz

No need to, but the project should be honest about it: "this is not for lazy people! You'll spend a weekend just trying to boot the VM, and once you're done the hard part starts right there! So, go away, you unwanted user, yo

Well, they're consistent at least. It was exactly the same when I first tried Pharo, at version 2.something IIRC. Same in Pharo 5, 7, 9 (increments of 2 purely coincidental) and now with 11. I love Smalltalk. The language is great, inc

The sad truth is that it's the average README that's hilariously bad, not that you did something strange or wrong. As you say - whenever something is trying to be useful to anyone other than the author, the author should in turn t

But it's a cost shared by all open shells, right? Well, even if it was 15MB per shell session, it should still be worth it if the startup and searching is faster. For comparison: I use extended ZSH history format, which records a times

The idea is that the representatives of yours only do things against your wishes when they don't know what you wish for or you are in too tiny a minority for them to care. So, you make it clear what you want (or don't want) and ge

Well, introducing any new patterns was always an uphill battle. People don't like to learn, and especially don't like to relearn something they already know. If anything, I think it's easier to fine-tune Copilot to use a new

Because people actually don't like to think. They hate being confronted with unfamiliarity, which is the prerequisite for all learning. They dislike coming up with original ideas, as they have none and would need to work to get som

by klibertp 4y ago
I think we're going to see a shift in developers expectations towards the cost of their tools, as a side-effect of Copilot & co. If you already pay $100/mo in subscriptions for IDE, its plugins, and services it integrates with
