 Yeah, libquicktime went thru a spasm of API-breaking (and probably

to be precise, i haven't changed a line since August 2006, when there

 Hm, this gets asked (and answered) once every 1.5 weeks. What can we
 do about it?

It is also one of the most frequent questions I get asked when I
introduce new users to PD. Personally I think the entire 'search paths'
window is badly designed. I have a few ideas about how it might be
improved:

1/ 'Save all settings' and 'Apply' should be removed. 

2/ The path list should have a dynamically generated scrollbar, so that
when the list exceeds a certain length (10), the scrollbar appears and
the user can view the additional paths by scrolling up/down.

3/ It should not be possible to type directly into the path list, only
select a list element or group of elements (paths).

4/ Two new buttons should be added directly underneath the path list:
'Add' and 'Remove'.   

5/ 'Add' opens a new dialog ('Select path...') whereby the user can
either enter a path or navigate to it using a filesystem browser widget.
Once the path has been entered (or selected), clicking 'OK' adds the
path to the path list and closes the 'Select path...' dialogue. 

6/ Clicking 'Remove' in the main 'path list' window will remove the
currently selected item(s) from the path list.

7/ Clicking 'OK' will commit changes to disk, apply them for the current
session and close the window. 

8/ Clicking 'Cancel' will discard the changes and close the window.
 

Just a few thoughts. If anyone else thinks this is a good idea, I would
happily put a feature request on the tracker.

Actually it occured to me that this is a silly argument, which I could
only bring up, because I'm living proof that creating non-trivial Pd
patches for 6 years is possible without ever using namecanvas once. 

It's silly, because of course one would normally not want to clear the
main canvas of an abstraction altogether as that would also clear the
logic to fill the canvas again, and this logic generally would be in
the abstraction itself.

 This restriction leads to really ugly workarounds. 

Second silly argument: dynamically patching an abstracion instance
would still be ugly even when namcanvas was a property, as you'd still
need to keep track of how many objects your logic (see above) contains

 and about feminist jokes. well you know feminism is in total discredit, is

 this.


I don't mind femin-, but any -ism tastes nasty to me.  femin-ism is,
lexicographically or whatever, one step from sex-ism.  Equality is
equality, and doesn't need another name.  If a man is treated badly for his
gender, does he have less right to justice because he is a member of a group
less often treated badly?  Maybe not in theory, but in many people's
actions, yes.  I believe in equal rights, but I don't believe that is
accomplished by focusing on one group of people.

Oddly- not speaking of institutions- men are far more often victims of
violent crime than women, at least in my country (worldwide anyone know?).
They say a lot that women are most often victimized by people they know,
but leave out that this is still less often than men are victimized.
Occupational fatality, drug addiction, and suicide are traditionally higher
among men, and men have shorter lives worldwide as well.
It is very well-known that, in university, social studies subjects are
filled largely with women and technological and scientific subjects by men,
and that the latter are more well-paid positions.  BUT could this have
something to do with the fact that men are traditionally judged by women
according to their income?  I would far rather study art and history than
mathematics (in fact I did, I have a music degree and make $0 from it, and
often feel ignored on lists like this for my lack of computer science
knowledge).

It's true I know almost nothing about society in any place but North America
and Europe, but I'm really not trying to belittle the ill treatment of
women; I know forced prostitution, for example, still occurs in many places,
probably more often with women/girls.  But I don't believe humans are
anything but animals, and I think, all things considered, they have done
pretty well over the last few hundred years.


I didn't start this thread on sexism because I didn't have any particular
 complaint against this list although I can remember some situations
 outside the list:

 - once a pd friend said to me that still no women wrote an external, ah
 yes I would like to program a external I said. He said oh well Yves can do
 that  you don't have to do that.


I think many people would say the exact same thing to me.


 it would be better IMHO to discuss things and not avoid it but yes that
 would take time, to look into what we really mean by sexism and ask around
 why women (hey but not only women) don't participate in this spaces.


I wasn't aware that women didn't participate.  My few exchanges with Patrice
convinced me she knows far more than I about computers and especially Pd,
but for a year or two I had no idea what her sex was.  As they say in regard
to the internet, I still don't REALLY know.

BTW, I did remove a number of your comments in replying; I don't mean to
erase them, I just had no response.

implement:

Clicking the top button moves the path up the list. Clicking the bottom
one moves it down. 

 10) unify the path and startup dialogs into one single (possibly 
 multi-tab) dialog.
I completely agree. I forgot about the startup dialog!

I've figured out some years ago that in united states 'Patrice' is a 
name given to women, when I've heard about the existence of Patrice 
Zappa, the sister of Frank Zappa.
  Also this name come from the roman 'pater' which mean 'father', or in 
french 'Patricien'. It's a communauty of people living during ancient Rome.
  I've no idea why my united statesian homologous (sorry didn't find a 
better translation for 'homologue') is a woman.

 what i am dearly missing in your design is:

 I agree - there should be some easy way to do this. IMO, the nicest
 thing would be for each path to have an anchor, which when clicked,
 rather than selecting the path, enables the path to be dragged up and
 down the list. I'm not sure how feasible this is in Tk though.

There is the drag'n'drop tk lib for that it's called 'tkdnd'

It's actually three objects: Two cubes and a sphere. I leave it as an

 and what am I doing wrong with the rotation, the objects behave a little

I would recommend to use or look at the [ode_*] helper abstractions
that are included with pyode. They automatically do all rotations and

Re: [PD] many paths, how

2007-10-18 Thread Thomas O Fredericks
But isn't this all deprecated? I thought the new official way of loading
externals in Pd-Extended was to either use prefixes or the import object
(which make more sense  with the upcoming Pdpedia, permits the dynamic
loading of libs and better follows the standard import method seen in other
programming languages).

Now, I bring this up because, if there is not a standard way of using
Pd-Extended, it will tend to confuse new users and make patches incompatible
between different use configurations.

I could start a html documentation on the particularities of Pd-Extended.

Re: [PD] pd to webpage

2007-10-18 Thread Thomas O Fredericks
What is the difference between [str] and [any2string]?
If I understand correctly str is a wrapper for standard string functions and
it's output is a pointer to a string.
I believe this approach is more limited that using any2string because all
basic string functions can be recreated once a symbol is converted to a
series of bytes. For example, to split a string along a space character you
can use [list split 32], but with the [str] architecture, you need to use
[str csplit 32].

Just my 2cents. Also, [any2string] does not break compatibility with Pd
Vanilla.

 What can I do then about audio rate inlets? 

Inlets (sig and control) and arguments aren't related in any
predefined way. Obviously you cannot pass signals itself as arguments,
only symbols and numbers are possible, so any conversion to signals
has to happen using some dsp object. 

 As far as I understand they supply continious streams thus
 overriding and creation arguments I might supply. Is there something
 like [sel~] that'll only send the signal on should it be different
 from 0?

Is [sig~ $1] of any help? It will take the signal to generate from the
first argument. If that is missing, it would be the same as [sig~ 0].
The same of course is possible with any dsp-object that accepts
arguments, like [hip~ $1] etc.

  things have been clean in pd until .pdsettings has arrived, now it's

in a country that has apparently abandoned the rule of law and allows
it's citizens to intimidate foreign nationals with impunity. If this
came from a Nigerian scam artist you would just inform your local
police computer crime department of a 419, but unfortunately there is
no recognition or remedy for receiving specious pseudo-legal threats.

I can however understand Kluppes choice to avoid the stress and move on.

But the problem with abusers, bullies and terrorists (whether they
use force of arms or merely threats) is that once you capitulate
they will be back for more. The question then is, at what point do
you put up a robust defence?

Re: [PD] [OT] Re: about sexism is TERMINATE THREAD PLEASE

2007-10-18 Thread Kevin McCoy
 Equality is equality, and doesn't need another name.  If a man is treated
 badly for his gender, does he have less right to justice because he is a
 member of a group less often treated badly?  Maybe not in theory, but in
 many people's actions, yes.  I believe in equal rights, but I don't believe
 that is accomplished by focusing on one group of people.


Chuckk, while I can sympathize with this, I would also suggest that the goal
of many feminists is not equality in the limited sense of we get the same
things as men.  I hope that you don't take this as any kind of attack,
because certainly this is not a reflection on you, but I am almost a little
bored by that idea.  After a certain point, doesn't the question become -
how long will we keep chasing and catching up with men?

In my opinion (as a man though), the more interesting varieties of feminism
also encompass a celebration (or expansion) of femininity.  The feminine
does not have to be a static, rigid entity either - see Donna Harraway's A
Cyborg Manifesto, or feminist responses to Deleuze/Guattari's rhizome.
Economic justice does require some attention to the idea of equality, but it
must an equality that is aware of difference, never turning a blind eye to
it.. otherwise, how to address inequality?  By turning back to some abstract
enlightenment ideal, or by attending to the differences?

Also I am not a computer science type either (as much as I often wish I was,
my degree is in art, so we are related in the $0 market), but I've been on
an interesting ride so far in large part because of pd and this
list/community, for which I am very grateful.  You can tell by my ridiculous
newbie questions from last summer :)

Also I found the mistake over Patrice really beautiful.

 ...is painfully slow! It takes minutes sometimes to execute a command 
 that the terminal handles is a second or two. Why is that? Does anyone 
 else have this problem? 

i cannot help you here, but most likely it is a problem with 
initializing a context:
everytime you call shell, it will have to restart the shell-interpreter 
which will take some time (when you start the terminal it also takes 
some time...once the terminal is up and running it is faster, but you 
don't get this with the [shell])

btw, this is the reasons why many often-used applications are often 
re-written as daemons (e.g. i have a virus-scanner that usually get's 
called from the cmdline to scan a file - this is too slow if you are 
using it on a mailserver; therefore there is a daemonized version of the 
scanner which is always running and which takes the data to be scanned 
via a pipe)

this is also one of the reasons i hardly ever use [shell] but usually 
write a small shellscript server (using ./pdreceive) and send data to 
this server via [netsend] (and vice versa)
i often find this more stable (and fun), but it is more complicated to 
setup.


 Also, it doesn't seem to understand, for example 
 cd /home/derek, since a pwd command immediately after still lists 
 / as the current dir. 


what makes you think it doesn't understand?
whenever you call shell, it will open up a new context.
so when you send cd /home/derek it will changedir into /home/derek 
(from /) and then quit. when you call pwd it will print the working 
directory of a fresh context (which is /)
it is like when you open a terminal and do a cd /usr/local and then 
open another terminal and do a pwd...
this behaviour is the same on all platforms.

therefore you one usually uses scripts for more complex operations:
$ cat /tmp/doit.sh
  #!/bin/sh
  cd /home/derek
  pwd

and then do
[/tmp/doit.sh(

 If I understand correctly str is a wrapper for standard string functions
 and
 it's output is a pointer to a string.

 More or less true. There are also functions to output the string as bytes
 or
 symbols.

 I believe this approach is more limited that using any2string because all
 basic string functions can be recreated once a symbol is converted to a
 series of bytes. For example, to split a string along a space character
 you
 can use [list split 32], but with the [str] architecture, you need to use
 [str csplit 32].

 That's one more character to type ;)
 If the web page patch could be done with [any2string] and [list] then
 sure.
 When I did the string stuff I was not aware of any other way of
 manipulating
 arbitrary lists of bytes. Pd tries to interpret anything you type and some
 characters don't get through unmangled. Even with the [str] object you
 have
 to specify them by ascii code.

 So simple bash scripts can use $1 as well? That was what I was unsure

it's the other way round: pd can use $1 as well, just like other

I think it depends when and where you are.  I worked for 6 years with almost
all women coworkers (data entry), and the us vs. them mentality was strong
and loud.  I told a coworker once about a woman in Thailand who had severed
her husband's genitals because she suspected he was cheating; her response:
Well I guess he won't be cheatin no more.  It was a hostile environment at
times, and this was acknowledged and perfectly okay in some of my coworkers'
minds because so many women at different times had been subjected to hostile
environments by men.  My point about equality is that we're not teams that
need to even some score; maybe that's obvious to most of us, but I suspect
we can't help sliding into that mentality sometimes.  Else genital
mutilation would be equally horrifying in all circumstances.


In my opinion (as a man though), the more interesting varieties of feminism
 also encompass a celebration (or expansion) of femininity.


Well said.  That aspect I enjoy, but I still recoil from -isms.

I think the best way is by understanding where it comes from (understanding
is not the same as sympathizing, mind you).  Something so universal
throughout human history can't possibly be coincidence?  Throughout most of
history, survival was something people clung to desperately.  The idea of
sending women on a raid, or to hunt, or to sail across the ocean, was
tantamount to slaughtering the next generation of infants.  On the other
hand, they could send all of the men except one and still have the same
number of young born.
Obviously this is no longer the case in some parts of the world today, and,
even more obviously, most of the disadvantages/horrors brought upon women
based on gender were/are completely irrational if inspired by this line of
thought; but I still think it's the main factor that has caused society to
do these things since forever.  A woman can have one baby a year, a man 365,
and for that baby to be born the woman must be kept from physical danger.
Or whatever else our superstitious, slime-worshiping ancestors thought might
hurt their societies.
Anyway it remains to be seen whether humans can ever live peacefully for any
length of time, and who knows if we'll last another 100 years.  Here's
hoping we all get the same rights as long as we do survive.

  More or less true. There are also functions to output the string as 
bytes
  or
  symbols.
 
  I believe this approach is more limited that using any2string because 
all
  basic string functions can be recreated once a symbol is converted to a
  series of bytes. For example, to split a string along a space character
  you
  can use [list split 32], but with the [str] architecture, you need to 
use
  [str csplit 32].
 
  That's one more character to type ;)
  If the web page patch could be done with [any2string] and [list] then
  sure.
  When I did the string stuff I was not aware of any other way of
  manipulating
  arbitrary lists of bytes. Pd tries to interpret anything you type and 
some
  characters don't get through unmangled. Even with the [str] object you
  have
  to specify them by ascii code.

i started this thread mainly because i wonder why some women
 feel the need to create their own structures and events,
 and why we go straight to separatism,
 separate women and men,

 .

 so why we should have different agendas?
 one of the reason is that women can't take this macho c.r.ap. anymore.


I'm not big on macho crap either, and you obviously aren't.  A lot of times
when people form their own separate structures, it's as much shyness as
intimidation.  Has THIS happened due to the language on this list??

Anyway I don't interpret crass humor as macho.

The main difference is that moocow's conversion of a message into a string

Most likely it shouldn't, unless it uses the 0 as separator or terminator 
in what could be any number of strings in the same message.


If the intent is that there can only be one string per list, then the 0 is 
superfluous, as in pd, a list knows its own length, which is usually not 
the case in C/C++, and which is the reason for the terminator. This reason 
does not exist in Pd nor most other programming languages.

Re: [PD] [OT] Re: about sexism is TERMINATE THREAD PLEASE

2007-10-18 Thread vade
In my defense (for my instigative comments earlier in the thread), im  
not macho/sexist in any way, I am simply lewd, loud and obnoxious and  
enjoy cynical humor, because the joke is not the joke, its the fact  
that some genuinely may laugh at it. Some may even call me an  
asshole, but hey, at least I didnt *start* this goddamned thread.  
Anyway if you were offended, too bad. Really, Im not sure where the  
right to not be offended comes from, but frankly, if the list (and  
PD by extension) is truly to be open, someones going to be offended -  
get used to it.


I realize one of my responses was sent privately, but I really want  
to say, for the women (and yes, I agree, speaking of women as girls  
is pretty dismissive), on the list that lurk, if you are offended by  
any speech on this list, its your job to speak up, lest it be  
perpetuated. Same goes for any group or individuals. However, I share  
the confusion on where the hell this whole thing came from. Frankly I  
think its a non issue. My opinion may not count though, as I have a  
penis.


But fuck, I really do hate feminism as it is an ism, and by that I  
mean it has some strange life of its own. I could not be more for  
equality though. Well said.


You know, I showed this thread to my girlfriend, and she basically  
rolled her eyes and laughed at everyone who takes this thread  
seriously. Stop trying to be so goddamned 'fair' and pay more  
attention to user experience in PD, its interface, compatibility and  
improving  the overall experience of *using* the software. Perhaps  
all the *girls*  (GROSS!) are using Max?

Resolution of a second would suffice. A friend using PD for an

already be a way to obtain time. Any suggestions?
