Hi, By studying the NeoJSON book chapter (Pharo Enterprise), I do not understand how to modify the following example: -=-=-=-=-=-=-=- "Let us say that we have an Attachment class..." Object subclass: #Attachment instanceVariableNames: 'url fileName' classVariableNames: ''

[Pharo-users] PharoCloud method sources

2017-09-21 Thread Esteban A. Maringolo

I wasn't being cynical when I asked if it makes sense to you the fact that people write free software and give it away for free. I just wanted to know if there's any obvious reason that explains that to you. It's not my intention to judge why proponents of "permissive" licenses think the way they

We will have to agree to disagree. I have been a passionate user of open source software for over 20 years. Are you really saying that proponents of permissive licenses don't understand why people write free software and give it away for free? Really! I passionately disagree with the

I personally don't care about the interests of big corporations cheating with end-users' rights. If they were my potential customers, or any intermediary which is afraid of not being able to do business with them due to their obsession with restricting end-users' rights, then I'd probably have a

Sean I'm not an expert on PetitParser, but I think I understand what is happening. If I am right, I would expect the parser which fails to also fail, for the same reason, if the input is just 'John Smith' without the 'Jr'. If this is not so, you can disregard the rest of this post. The top-level
