Re: [Sugar-devel] [IAEP] soas live cd on MacBook? How?

2009-05-23 Thread James Zaki
I have a new macbook, but have seen issue 1 and not 2. Is there some sequence of usb/cd creation I should try that might produce the problem? Its intel mac only, right? My partner has a desktop mac running leopard, but its intel also. I can later try on this setup if it would be of value.

I did not know there was much debate about this, because for me the journal in its current state made sense for the target audience of sugar. Understanding hierarchical file structures use the concepts of containers and recursion with no limits (except for total capacity). It is not naturally

Re: [Sugar-devel] Random numbers and the Journal

I'm using python's random.getrandbits() to generate unique identifiers in my program. However, I've discovered that when I start it from the Journal, I get errors, Perhaps its not the best practice to rely on a random number generator to give unique identifiers. Would you not store a number with

Hey Benjamin, Taking a guess with the information you've given perhaps a hash tablehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash_tablecould help? Fast lookup/retrieval, but just have to consider what you would enumerate as the key, and loading. Let me know if you want some help applying this, memories of a

Not sure if you have found an answer to this yet, but with more information about what you're trying to do could help with communicating the right solution. Again I think a hash table can answer your questions about fast-lookup, but it just depends your chosen key, and other requirements you might

With regards to the speed issue. I tried SoaS on a USB2.0 (but not high-speed) memory-stick, performance was hideous on a macbook. Using a USB2.0 high-speed memory-stick, performance is great on an eeepc, which has 1G Ram. I know its not small, but its all I have to compare with for now. So from

Perhaps this is a late reply, (I am yet to read the last 6 or so digests of to 20+ that were in my inbox) But I am always sensitive of little incremental additions that seem like it would be useful. I always try to think about the first time I used sugar. In particular, what helped by being very
