use a high performing language to do that.  Something like Rust.


Rust has a reputation for performing on par or better than C++, but not 
C. If speed alone is the language determiner, why not C?



Each new (1) customer (a school) will usually be 1500+ users who create
150,000+ records or more.  So it will add up quickly.


I don't know the details of the aggregate operations, but my first 
reaction to queries across millions of records is that storage and 
deserialization speed aren't as big an opportunity for performance as 
not brute-forcing your way through the records at all, using an index 
instead.

Re: [ANN] Release 9.5.0 DP-1

2019-05-21 Thread Pi Digital via use-livecode
If it’s business only that’s the single dumbest bit of reasoning I’ve seen LC 
do (and I’ve seen some doozies). Stuff em. I’ll build one and make it available 
for all Indy users for free just to pee over their weird business decisions 
like this. I’ve used the iOS version by merg frequently as an Indy user and 
lamented the lack of android version for broader platform support. 

I’m convinced, though, this must be an overall typo and that it IS available 
for Indy users and not business only. I just can’t imagine they’ve been so 
short-sighted (unless theyve got a real good reason why, like licensing cost or 
what have you). They are not complete imbeciles! I hope.

Re: repeat with times

2019-05-21 Thread dunbarxx via use-livecode
Hi.

What Ludovic suggests is not just a shortCut. You can say:

repeat 5

or repeat 5 times

but you could never say:

repeat with y =1 to 5 times

It is not a regression, that is, something in the latest v.9 build, it is
bad syntax.

repeat with times

2019-05-21 Thread Andrew Bell via use-livecode
I'm excited to try some of the new features of LC 9.5 but found a  
regression that has me dead in the water. Went to file a bug report,  
but 9.0.5 is the newest version listed. (I realize the team is busy in  
San Jose this week)


Now that I'm a slightly more seasoned coder I know there are more  
efficient ways to accomplish this, but my n00b syntax was very  
English-like for repeat loops like this...


put the number of lines of tSomeText into tThisMany
repeat with x = 1 to tThisMany times
   ## some code
end repeat

The only structure that seems to support "times" now is...

put the number of lines of tSomeText into tThisMany
repeat tThisMany times
  ## some code
end repeat

I make extensive use of what (I now know since I've researched the  
bug) was an exception that let my sloppy code work in the first place.  
This has worked in every version of LC I've used since learning in  
v6.x but now throws a "repeat: bad termination" error in 9.5dp1. While  
the dictionary doesn't explicitly says that "times" should work in  
this type of repeat structure, it just always has (and makes it  
slightly easier to read). I'm happy to accept the deprecation and  
refactor my code if there is a reason for the engine change, but  
wanted to check here before going through that effort.

2019-05-21 Thread Bob Sneidar via use-livecode
This goes to my point about why certain things you want to use are bundled into 
version you cannot afford. I would much rather subscribe to certain add-ons but 
we all decided on this awhay back when the licensing model was put forth, and 
also I can see that someone might only purchase an add-on for the year they are 
developing a project that uses it. It would be a difficult system to manage.

Re: [ANN] Release 9.5.0 DP-1

It SHOULD be in INDY even though I am personally paying for the Business
upgrade.
LC should rethink this - there are fewer people on Business (educated
guess) so you at least want a few more people on Indy.
This might be what makes them upgrade - get them to Ben Nevis THEN they
might climb Everest.

Just my 5p worth (inflation)

9.5 layerClipRect

2019-05-21 Thread Michael Kristensen via use-livecode
Hi there

layerClipRect is a nice addition to LiveCode.

Made a little experiment with the code from the Dictionary

// Hide 10 pixels from the border of image "myImage"
local tRect
put the rect of image "myImage" into tRect
add 10 to item 1 of tRect
add 10 to item 2 of tRect
subtract 10 from item 3 of tRect
subtract 10 from item 4 of tRect
set the layerClipRect of image "myImage" to tRect


Had an image and a button with the code.


It always toke two clicks on the button to have an effect on the image

Did also put a “lock screen” in there to force an update.

Same result: Two clicks necessary

Hello Jerry,

Both the PDF widget and the Android Barcode widget are included in Business
edition, but the release notes they are mentioned under the section
"LiveCode Indy Extension Changes" too. This is because of a bug in our
release notes builder. Sorry for the confusion.

I have a routine that will convert an array to an sql table. That is probably 
going to be your best bet, but it would have to be stored that way.

Re: Livecode Array Encoding / Decoding using other platforms?

2019-05-21 Thread Bob Sneidar via use-livecode
You would have to convert the array itself in LC to another format, then 
convert it back when you need it. The LC array is obviously proprietary. The 
structure of the encoded array is not something that can be externally 
interpreted. I know, I looked  into it.

Re: Livecode Array Encoding / Decoding using other platforms?

My LC written client will send to cloud for long term storage on the
livecloud system.. but then I will have to pull the data to aggregate,
count, and analyze it to show data interesting and useful points to the
customers..  As much as I love LC I really want to do the right thing and
use a high performing language to do that.  Something like Rust.

Each new (1) customer (a school) will usually be 1500+ users who create
150,000+ records or more.  So it will add up quickly.

I think I will convert to JSON on its way out from the client and going to
storage. That way the cost of that conversion is not paid by the cloud
service but the client.

Thanks RG

Its not really the encoding / decoding speed i am thinking about.  Lets

I can try to read C code in the codebase to see if i can see how the
data gets processedmaybe i will peek out of interest ...if i 
can

even find the arrayencode function in the c codebase

Its probably easier to encode into Json and baseencode any binary
data..and just deal with text chunks instead of blobs.


What will you be doing with the data?

If both producer and consumer of the data are written in LiveCode, it's 
really hard to beat LSON (my pet name for encoded arrays).  LSON is to 
LiveCode what JSON is to JavaScript, as BSON is to MongoDB. It is the 
most efficient, most with-the-grain serialization in this language.


Of course, if you need to talk to things not written in LC, you'll have 
to write a parser in that language.  My notes could help, but there 
would be no benefit.  For interoperability, use JSON or XML.


But if both client and server are LC, just enjoy LSON without even 
having to worry how it's made. Efficient, robust, easy to use - what's 
not to love?
