Man, why no source code? Or, at least, API documentation or usage example?

What do you mean? There are a couple demo programs. I also
include some individual doc that explains what the different
features are. The project may be creative commons at some point.
Running a program is just running the executable with the program
name as the parameter.

The hint about the library is something that might be of interest 
to people. I suggest you mention it earlier the next time. Also, 
after extracting the archive the folder is called release. One 
would expect HarpoScript/release/. Little annoyances put people

I mean without source or library/API it seems no way to embed it in 
host application, which is the point of any scripting language.

At the bottom of the search results page there is a 'change columns'

I think I did the regression == orange manually in the templates and will

Yeah, I've seen the programming without programming tools come and go over the

You'll get a lot more interest if you put this somewhere a more 
public and reliable than a tarball on mediafire. Put the source 
in a github/bitbucket repo perhaps?


As it is, I'm wary of touching random mediafire links to binaries 
on a mailing list.

Creating a subdirectory with the same name as the archive is the job of 
an extracting tool. Archives with a redundant internal directory are 
annoying.




Re: DBI Interface 0.1.5

2014-04-10 Thread Jason King


How about representing time as the number of seconds (0.1 
seconds?  0.01 seconds?) since midnite 12/31/1999?  Use a 
signed 64 bit int, and depend on a time library to convert it 
into the desired format?  This allows times to be stored in a 
compact form, and YOU don't need to worry about leap seconds, 
etc. You're just dealing with int's.)  Also figure out the 
desired time range to cover, and use that to figue out the 
precision in pieces of a second you are interested in.  (I got 
into this discussion with someone before, and they convinced me 
that 2^63 hundreths of a second is a LOONNNGG time.)


Either Unix epoch (1/1/1970) or 1/1/1900 would be dates that have 
a lot of existing software support.  1/1/1999 is a problem if 
we're storing birthdates for anything besides summer-camp.

One other nag (suggestion).  Keep your base DBI and any object 
relational wrapper separate.  A lot of use-cases don't need ORM, 
and separating the two parts means that adding a new db driver is 
simply a matter of plugging in the dbi part.

My request for bug prioritization isn't new:  regressions, blockers, and majors -- in that order.

Suggestion: A search and replace of the comments, replacing

That way at least most of the links in comments between issues

Maybe in a perfect world. We do not live in such a place (especially
since tools don't flag 'tarbombs' as anything different). Either way,
get a flag added to tar for such a thing and maybe folks wouldn't care
so much about tarbombs anymore.
