Re: not really OT: The Coming Software Apocalypse

[Peter Alcibiades via use-livecode]

Thanks for the link, which was very interesting.  There is a quite deep
insight there about what made Hypercard so inviting, and why LC is so
accessible.  Its not just drag and drop, its working directly with the thing
one is making.  Of course you still end up typing a lot of text, but these
systems are a small part of the way to what the people interviewed are
talking about.

I recall a moment many years ago now when the difference between the
ordinary user's understanding and the coder's suddenly became apparent.  In
the early days of the Web we did a demo for a senior manager of a new
interface.  He had never used a computer - as was quite common back in those
days.  He heard about it with some puzzlement and then asked us to print it
out.  We looked at each other and you could see everyone wondering how on
earth they were going to explain that this just wasn't possible...  That
whatever we handed over on set of A4s was not going to be what we were
talking about.

I write "is a /real/ date" into my notes whenever a meeting is a date.
How do you handle such _real_ cases in your functions?  ;-)

Being a mathematician I always dreamed about meeting an integer.

How did you manage to meet an integer?
Was it male or female and positive, negative or even zero?

Comparing 2 Spoken words, FFT function in LiveCode?

[Peter Reid via use-livecode]

Does anyone know of an implementation of an FFT function written in LiveCode?  
I've tried joneslib but this doesn't include FFT. I'm hoping to use FFTs as 
part of my attempt to compare 2 short sound clips of people speaking a single 
word.  I'm trying to judge whether a single word spoken by 2 different people 
is the same word or not. Any advice or code that might help with this would be 
most welcome.

Thanks

Re: is a date

[Roger Eller via use-livecode]

Exactly!  I was elated to find the built-in "is a date" check, because I
really wanted to NOT have to roll my own.  I was THRILLED that our lovely
English-like syntax was working FOR me.  And then an integer was accepted
as a legit date.  I didn't like that at all.  Why can't the engine have "is
a date" or "is a formatted date" as well?

Re: is a date

[Bob Sneidar via use-livecode]

This of course assumes you know tDate is supposed to be a short date. 

I also have this function which is part of the master library methinks:

function formatDate theDate, theFormat
   /*
   Accepts any valid date for the first parameter. If not a valid date, it 
simply returns
   what was passed. Second parameter can be any of the following:
   sql date: date in the -mm-dd format
   short date, abbreviated date, internet date, long date: LC versions of the 
same
   julian date: Julian number based on (I believe) Jacques formula)
   */
   
   put the itemdelimiter into theOldDelim
   set the itemdelimiter to "-"
   
   if the length of item 1 of theDate = 4 and \
 the number of items of theDate = 3 and \
 item 1 of theDate is a number and \
 item 2 of theDate is a number and \
 item 3 of theDate is a number then
  put item 2 of theDate & "/" & \
item 3 of theDate & "/" & \
item 1 of theDate into theDate
   end if
   
   convert theDate to dateitems
   set the itemdelimiter to theOldDelim
   
   switch theFormat
  case "sql date"
 put item 1 of theDate & "-" & \
   format("%02d",item 2 of theDate) & "-" & \
   format("%02d",item 3 of theDate) into theDate
 break
  case "short date"
 convert theDate from dateitems to short date
 break
  case "abbreviated date"
 convert theDate from dateitems to abbreviated date
 break
  case "abbr date"
 convert theDate from dateitems to abbreviated date
 break
  case "internet date"
 convert theDate from dateitems to internet date
 break
  case "long date"
 convert theDate from dateitems to long date
 break
  case "julian date"
 put the date into theDate
   convert theDate to dateItems
   if  ((item 2 of theDate = 1) or (item 2 of theDate = 2)) then
 put 1 into theDay
   else
 put 0 into theDay
   end if
   put item 1 of theDate + 4800 - theDay into theYear
   put item 2 of theDate + (12 * theDay) - 3 into theMonth
   put item 3 of theDate + \
   ((153 * theMonth + 2) div 5) + \
   (365 * theYear) + \
   (theYear div 4) - \

Re: OAuth2 (LC 9) on mobile?

[Ben Rubinstein via use-livecode]

OAuth2 does work on mobile - I needed to include the Browser widget in the 
standalone. (The 'search for inclusions' doesn't know to include the Oauth2 
library, let alone the browser widget.)


If anyone else finds themselves sometimes spending a long time going down a 
path where the answer is to do with inclusions, I have two relevant feature 
suggestions in LQCC - I'd be interested in comments:

put tDate into tOldDate
convert tDate to dateitems
convert tDate to short date

Hi,

We tried to do this for a set of professional business english training 
software suites for companies ages ago.
We ended up using Microsoft Speech recognition with an External by Tuviah 
Snyder. On the the mac front we
used the speech recognition ( then in Supercard) to see if any of the words 
reconized was in the restricted
recognition target dictionary. Worked fine. However : If you are looking at 
precise comparisons of two phrases in the realm of :

“ Flying aunts can be dangerous”
“ Flying ants can be dangerous”

then you need word-per-word FFT analysis and the closest I have come were the 
libraries to
plot AIF files by Mark Smith, may he rest in peace. Stephen Barncard was so 
friendly to relay them
to me in 2016. Then funding stopped and I had to pursuit other things. But I 
would be very interested in
solving this as well, because it is a major asset when dealing with languages.( 
I’m an old linguist ;-)

I believe Stephen would not mind the stacks being out there. I just can’t gauge 
if they would be
any help in your endeavour.


Cheers


Frans

quicken dates

[Mike Kerner via use-livecode]

Way back in the day, Quicken allowed all kinds of shenanigans with dates
It allowed a variety of delimiters
It allowed pseudo-dates:
20 -- 20th of the current month
10/20 -- 10/20/current year
+ -- tomorrow
m -- first of this month
h -- last of this month
etc.

I really like this, because it makes it much easier than trying to look at
a calendar all the time, so I wrote my own version, that expands on the
idea:

function quickenDate what
   /*
   Returns current date if sent an empty string
   Returns empty if can't figure out what "what" is supposed to be

   Delimiter can be ".", "/", ";",  or comma
   Date can be in m/d/y, m/d, or just d format
   Also accepts (upper or lower case)
   T - (T)oday
   M - First day of (M)onth
   H - Last day of mont(H)
   W - First day of (W)eek
   K - Last day of wee(K)
   Y - First day of (Y)ear
   R - Last day of yea(R)
   + - tomorrow
   +x, where x is an integer, x days from today
   - - yesterday
   -x where x is an integer, x days before today
   */

   if what is empty then return the short date # you got a better idea?

   put the short date into currentDateInDateItems
   convert currentDateInDateItems to dateItems #y,m,d,h(24
format),m,s,daynum (0 sun, 6 sat)
   put item 1 of currentDateInDateItems into currentYear
   put item 2 of currentDateInDateItems into currentMonth

   if what="T" then #today
  put the short date into what
   else if what="Y" then #first day of year
  put "01/01/" into what
   else if what="R" then #last day of year
  put "12/31/" into what
   else if what="M" then # first of month
  put currentMonth&"01" into what
   else if what="H" then # last day of month
  if currentMonth is 12 then
 put "12/31/" into what
  else #not 12, # the easiest way to do this math is to get midnight on
the first day of the following month and then move back a second and let LC
do the math on what the date is
 # since otherwise we have to figure out the 30 days
have september, blah, blah, blah, and leap years, blah, blah, blah.
 add 1 to item 2 of currentDateInDateItems #next month
 put "0" into item 3 of currentDateInDateItems #I love dateItems.
How to figure out the last day of this month?  Go to first day of next
month and subtract 1, (making it a 0, e.g. 5/0/17 is 4/30/17)
 put currentDateInDateItems into what
  end if #currentMonth is 12
   else if what is "W" then #first day of week #sunday is first day of week
  put last item of currentDateInDateItems into dayNumber
  subtract (dayNumber-1) from item 3 of currentDateInDateItems
  put currentDateInDateItems into what
   else if what is "K" then #last day of week #saturday is last day of week
  put last item of currentDateInDateItems into dayNumber
  add (7-dayNumber) to item 3 of currentDateInDateItems
  put currentDateInDateItems into what
  convert what to short date
   else if first char of what is "+" then #at least tomorrow, but if
a nuber follows, then x days after today
  delete first char of what # "+"
  if what is empty then put 1 into what #"+" is tomorrow, i.e. +1
  add what to item 3 of currentDateInDateItems
  put currentDateInDateItems into what
   else if first char of what is "-" then # at least yesterday, or if a
number follows, then x days before today
  delete first char of what #"-"
  if what is empty then put 1 into what #"-" is yesterday, i.e. -1
  subtract what from item 3 of currentDateInDateItems
  put currentDateInDateItems into what
   else # a date-ish string could be a date only or a month and a date, or
a month and a date and a year
  #
 if what contains ";" then replace ";" with slash in what
 if what contains space then replace space with slash in what
 if what contains "." then replace "." with slash in what
 if what contains comma then replace comma with slash in what
  # and, if what doesn't contain any of those, comma will be the
delimiter
  #

  set the itemDelimiter to slash

  #
  if the number of items in what is not 3 then put slash
after what   # try adding a year, first
  if the number of items in what is not 3 then put currentMonth
before what # try adding the month, next
  #

  if what is not a date then put empty into what #error
   end if #what="T"

   convert what to short date
   return what
end quickenDate

Atkinson Dither 04 (Fastest Version)
and make it faster.

How would you do this?

Making the Functions Private (so they are not
available in the message path)?

Converting some variables to constants?
(like the black and white pixels and many
other variables that do not change at all
inside the handler)

The main difference between V04 and V03
of this handler is a single modification:

An arithmetic operation like ADD:
> add (tDifusionError) to tArray2[tNewKey]
replaced all instances of PUT
variable + variable into array
like in this line:
> put (tDifusionError) + tArray2[tNewKey] into tArray2[tNewKey]

This single change speed the handler (in my own setup)
by a whopping 33%. Just replacing "put" with "add"

Please take a look! :-)

It mattered to me recently on a project I was working on so I wrote  
these two scripts to help me generate a LC version of the mySQL  
version of "timestamp":


on timeStamp
   put the internet date into tTheDate
   convert tTheDate to dateitems
   put item 1 of tTheDate into tYear
   put item 2 of tTheDate into tMonth
   put item 3 of tTheDate into tDay
   put item 4 of tTheDate into tHour
   put item 5 of tTheDate into tMinute
   put item 6 of tTheDate into tSecond

   leadingZero tMonth
   leadingZero tDay
   leadingZero tHour
   leadingZero tMinute
   leadingZero tSecond

   put tYear & "-" & tMonth & "-" & tDay && tHour & ":" & tMinute &  
":" & tSecond into tTimeStamp

   return tTimeStamp
end timeStamp

on leadingZero @pDateItem
   if the length of pDateItem = 1 then
  put "0" before pDateItem
   end if
end leadingZero


A new date/time format of "database" would be useful for something like this.

Again, I would prefer a simple one-liner built-in function.  What if
instead of "is a date" returning true or false, it instead returned some
expected outputs like "short, long, internet, seconds, ect.".  Something
short and sweet.

Re: Comparing 2 Spoken words, FFT function in LiveCode?

LC Script is probably not fast enough for performing a FFT.
But you could use, for example, the following digital signal processing

Re: Send "rawKeyUp"

My experience is that adolescents have considerably less foibles than 
adults; merely that adolescents are honest enough to admit them openingly.


However, what I meant was labelling a program with "don't do this" would 
produce the opposite with adolescents.

Change the checks for being near the right hand side of the image from

Sorry not to have replied sooner Ben… I think this is my fault :-(

When I did OAuth2 I recall adding in some stuff for mobile but I actually can’t 
recall testing said stuff so it’s definitely feasible you are breaking new 
ground here.

It sounds like the browser isn’t redirecting but it needs investigation. Could 
you open a report with your findings and we will look into it.

Cheers

But I am too late - the file is called "...Final Version ..." :-) :-)
Let's have a look anyway

Please, take a look at the script of
Atkinson Dither 04 (Fastest Version)
and make it faster.

OK, did that :-)

I've been aware of this interesting discussion, but had no time to look 
at it at all (until tonight). Sorry to be late to the party.


I made a few changes, as follows:

1. (Just on principle).
I would change all these reference to "char" to "byte" when we are 
really talking about bytes in binary data.


Probably doesn't make any difference to performance - the engine will 
most likely realize that there aren't any Unicode strings involved - but 
it's just "right" to call them bytes, and to use the byte functions to 
manipulate them :-)


2. there's a function ImgToCh which extracts a single channel of data 
out the image data.
It does this with a cute 'delete' method - but that is over-thinking the 
problem.
You can (i.e. the engine can) access a single byte within a byte string 
in constant time (it's surely a single offset in the C library).


so instead of


repeat untiltempVar isempty
  putchar1oftempVar aftertResult
  deletechar1to4oftempVar
end repeat


we can simply do


*repeat* withi = 1tothenumberofcharsintempVar step4*
  put*bytei oftempVar aftertemp*
end* *repeat*

(I kept the initial delete to select which channel, just because it's so 
clever :-) - but that could have been removed and the repeat changed to

*   repeat* withi = tChannel+1tothenumberofcharsintempVar step4*
*

3. The result of that function is then passed to another function that 
converts the byte string into a sequential array of numbers (and that's 
all that's done with the byte string).

So those two should be combined into a single pass - to get :


Function ImgToChToArrayNum2 tImageData, tChannel
   -- extract a single channel's data, and convert to sequential array 
of numbers

   puttImageData intotempVar
   deletebyte1totChannel oftempVar
   putemptyintotResult
put0intotCounter
   repeat withi = 1tothenumberofbytesintempVar step4
  add1totCounter
  putbytetonum(bytei oftempVar) intotResult[tCounter]
   end repeat
   returntResult
end ImgTochToArrayNum2

This takes the time for this part of the whole process down from 250ms 
to about 75ms, and therefore the total process time down from around 
750-800ms to 600-650ms (on my aging MBP).


Trying repeated runs, the times do seem to vary more than usual - not 
sure why.


I haven't tackled the second half (i.e. the actual dithering bit yet - 
maybe tomorrow).

Re: OAuth2 (LC 9) on mobile?

I never met an integer I didn't like.

Re: Word recognition

[Mark Wieder via use-livecode]

Peter, Hermann, Frans:


Does anyone know of an implementation of an FFT function written in LiveCode?  
I've tried joneslib but this doesn't include FFT. I'm hoping to use FFTs as 
part of my attempt to compare 2 short sound clips of people speaking a single 
word.  I'm trying to judge whether a single word spoken by 2 different people 
is the same word or not. Any advice or code that might help with this would be 
most welcome.


Having recently embarked on a similar project, I'd recommend a python or 
lua interface to fftw rather than trying this in LiveCode.

In my experience, adult people with toxoplasmosis
act exactly in the same way... :-(

If you say them: "Don't to this or that because something
worse would happen for sure" then...
these persons would do exactly this and that, not
because they needed to, but just to prove that you
are wrong... :'-(

Re: Atkinson dither algorithm

[Alejandro Tejada via use-livecode]

Hi Alex,

This is Amazing! :-D
Alex, your function saved another 34%
in the running time of this handler!

In retrospect, only now it seems very obvious
that merging two functions could save more
running time in this handler... but
I just keep wondering: How far can we go
merging functions to save milliseconds
in our LiveCode handlers? This is an interesting
question that could be answered exactly
in milliseconds.

By the way, I have to add a try structure to dismiss
an error message:

Function ImgToChToArrayNum2 tImageData, tChannel
-- extract a single channel's data, and convert
-- to sequential array of numbers by Alex Tweedly

put tImageData into tempVar
delete byte 1 to tChannel of tempVar
put empty into tResult
put 0 into tCounter
repeat with i = 1 to the number of bytes in tempVar step 4
   add 1 to tCounter
   try
  put bytetonum(byte i of tempVar) into tResult[tCounter]
  end try
end repeat
return tResult
end ImgTochToArrayNum2

IIRC, if you are using Indy or Business, then tsNet will provide those 
functions on mobile (it provides a libURL like interface on all platforms).


I believe you just need to make sure that you are including the Internet 
library and tsNet inclusion in the s/b.


Warmest Regards,

P.S. I'm pretty sure libURL also works on mobile in community - if you select 
the Internet inclusion, although in that case it just plain libURL, no tsNet 
as that requires Indy or Business.
