Re: [ANN] Release 9.6.2 RC-4

[Richard Gaskin via use-livecode]

At the turn of the century, so soon after HyperCard's death, it was 
understandable that Mac users would be disproportionately represented 
among LC customers.


For this to remain the case more than two decades later -- long past the 
time when most devs have never heard of HyperCard, Windows maintains 
it's 80+% market share, and Linux has a strongly disproportionate usage 
among professional developers -- would seem to evidence the difference 
between marketing and remarketin, between seeking growth and seeking 
remonitization of a fixed audience.

Re: Intermittent typing delay in script editor.

[Richard Gaskin via use-livecode]

Based on the sum of anecdotal evidence, it would appear contributory 
factors may be primarily outdated/suboptimal Win timer APIs, coupled 
with overzealous file I/O from frequent DB (Dict?) accesses, perhaps others.


The workaround would be time spent focusing on just those specifics.

The solution would be to commit the IDE team to spending at least one 
full work day each week to doing their work on Windows (bonus points if 
they spend one day a fortnight on Linux).


As a multi-platform tool, scripting work should be robustly productive 
regardless of platform.  Wherever it isn't merits attention.


Direct first-hand experience within the core team will bring about 
immediate awareness, and thereby resolution, of issues long before 
potential new users uninstall LC for its uncommon slowness on Windows 
(or UI anomalies/feature abandonment on Linux).

Hi Richard,

When you say a separate process, do you mean have the standalone builder as
a separate application from the IDE? Why could it not be accomplished in
the IDE where it is more convenient?

Handling it within the IDE process was fine as long as the only thing

Forgive my lack of knowledge, but when we compile it to an application for
different platforms, what are the differences from one platform build to
another, particularly regarding where it is just a stack file bound to the
engine and the other way(s) not listed here?  I'm genuinely interested.

I have been exposing these crimes for over 20 years and I can assure
you that is wishful thinking on your part.  Booz, Allen, Hamilton are a
global company and they are connected at every aspect of the US
government and probably many others.

I went blind and that was for 6 months.  My phone was disconnected
around 8 years ago and I was blocked from getting a phone.  I can
tell you a lot but the issue is about Sean and maybe Kevin being
victims of similar abuse.

We live in a complex world that is does not have boundaries at the
American border.

It would be a separate application, but would still be called from the IDE like 
today.  One difference is that as a separate process it would not disrupt the 
current session inside the IDE.

Intermittent typing delay in script editor.

[thompsonmichael--- via use-livecode]

I am using LC Indy 9.6.1 Build 15522 in Windows 10 on a Dell XPS - 15-9570
with a Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8750H CPU @ 2.20GHz   2.21 GHz Processor, with
16.0 GB (15.7 GB usable) RAM, and a Toshiba 256GB Solid State Drive.

 

LC normally works lightning fast on this setup but over the last couple of
years I would occasionally experience a sudden slow down in the script
editor for no apparent reason. (Delays of seconds sometimes between typing
and the type appearing on the screen) I would close everything and restart
Livecode and all would be well again. It didn't happen very often so I
tolerated it.  Eventually I noticed this only happened when I used the
'Message Box'. I usually put results into a text field rather than use the
message box but on occasion when I wrote a 'Put' command with out a
destination (in error) the result the message box would appear. It was only
after that that the slowdown would occur. I am still tolerating it and
closing LC when it happens but wonder if anyone else has experienced this
and if there is a work around. I have given up on using the Message Box
deliberately unless absolutely necessary.

The road went down that path and hiding the truth about his possible
problems is not something I was willing to do.  I don’t talk politics
either that was all I really need to tell any of you about it the rest is
something that needs to be dealt with by others.

You can pretend it is not true but I can assure you President Trump
and President Biden are not supporting the crimes and abuse.

Re: Intermittent typing delay in script editor.

[Sean Cole (Pi) via use-livecode]

Ooo, you are right Michael, I've had it in the past where if there were
large amounts of text in either the message box response field or in a
variable window (if you double click a variable in the variables list) that
has a large amount of data, then it would be a tad slower. But I get that
on the mac too interestingly. I just tried it by copying soo lorum ipsum
into the message box response field. So this isn't limited to Windows.
Interesting.

Re: Find Replace in Script Editor with cr

[John Balgenorth via use-livecode]

If Sean has said he is bipolar then is it possible he is mistaken and
actually a victim of government lies and abuse ?  The answer is
yes.

I have told President Trump and President Biden about abuse to
me involving BAH and Homeland Security with cover ups by the
corrupt news media of in America.  This involves but is by in no
means limited to being poisoned in my own home and having it
be infested with spiders and ants.  That abuse alone is enough
to cause people to break down mentally and physically.  This is
covered up the the corrupt politicians in congress and senate
and they all  hide from me like cowards.

Ban the Guns!  The first step is stop the abuse causing many
people to break down.

A couple of years ago I was poisoned in my own home while I
was using the computer and I suddenly went blind.  I needed
to have eye surgery but I can see now.

President Biden needs to explain who is going to pay the health
costs for the many others being poisoned in their homes.   I am
already covered and he should know that since I told him he is
allowed to access by medical records.

How do you know Sean is bipolar and not a victim of American
government hidden crimes ?  Does he have any evidence other
than maybe a doctor who was deceived by the government by
them not knowing about these crimes?

RE: Find Replace in Script Editor with cr

[Ralph DiMola via use-livecode]

I talk politics(including health care) all the time(ask Margaret) but this list 
is not the place for me. It's not because of some "rule" or "I'm afraid to show 
my political cards". It's for the same reason I don’t do it at RR conferences. 
I want to glean and learn as much information from my colleagues as possible. 
Even while having a pint at an RR event I learn more about our field than when 
I'm hanging with friends. So I will have a few pints with you good folks and 
maybe strum some chords or tinkle the ivories(music and the arts are my 
exception) but I try to limit the exchanging ideas to our field for selfish 
reasons not because of any "rule" or proper decorum. But that's me...

Re: Help! I'm stuck

[Richard Gaskin via use-livecode]

Standalone building needs to be moved to a separate process.

Handling it within the IDE process was fine as long as the only thing 
the Standalone Builder did was bind a copy of the engine to a copy of 
the stack file.


But today, building a standalone means deep modifications to the stack 
file, and this has resulted in multiple successive layers of knock-on 
effects where design complications are needed to compensate for design 
complications put in place to compensate for earlier design complications.


The end result of attempting to build standalones within the current IDE 
process is not merely cumbersome, but disruptive, confusing, and even 
requires CODE CHANGES from EVERY USER to compensate even further just 
for the build sequence.


LC has gone from the simplest way to build apps to something no less 
onerous than most, and more confusing than many.


Standalone building needs to be moved to a separate process.

With that, LC can begin the return journey back on its path to the 
simplest way to build apps.

[David V Glasgow via use-livecode]

Not going to get all professional/technical here, but this condition is 
*really* tough on those who have it.  Think social-emotional roller coaster.

It also generates challenges for those who interact with them.  What allowances 
individuals choose to take is a matter of choice, of course.  However it seems 
to me it would be useful for some consideration from list-parent.  Not a 
license to offend gratuitously, but equally I would be more than happy for 
there to be encouragement to repair off list rather than the usual threshold 
for list off-booting.

Cheers

Re: Help! I'm stuck

[William Prothero via use-livecode]

Richard:
What you suggest makes a lot of sense. As someone who doesn’t build complex 
apps very often, my first question is “why would I turn off error 
notifications?” Would I miss something by turning them off when making a build? 
Anyway I think it would be far more straightforward to just have a different 
(linked) app to do the build.

Also, if there is a separate app, why couldn’t it take care of a lot of the 
mystery of notarizing, adding certificates, etc, at the same time? That would 
be a huge help. Maybe it could even include an installer. Yikes, I would even 
pay a bit for that capability.

Best,
Bill

Re: Find Replace in Script Editor with cr

[Keith Martin via use-livecode]

Mailing lists such as this aren’t perfect oracles and they’re not pure 
technical reference sources either. Most importantly, they are not one-to-one 
conversations; MANY more people will be reading a thread than may be actively 
posting to it.

When a question is asked, people will respond with what they feel may be of 
use. Sometimes it isn’t helpful, but often even those posts will help others 
reading the thread to gain a better understanding of all sorts of areas within 
the general topic.

I know I’ve learned a HUGE amount by reading threads on topics that free-wheel 
around with all kinds of creative and sometimes off-target (and even off topic) 
responses. For me, that is a big part of the value of a mailing list. I don’t 
read every post in this or a number of other mailing lists, but I keep 
everything for possible later trawling with searches. (I have roughly 142k 
unread emails in my inbox – I practice inbox infinity rather than inbox zero! 
But it works well for me.)

This is how mailing lists naturally work. If that’s not suitable, the forum 
allows for a somewhat more focused approach to questions and answers. What’s 
not so suitable or appropriate is personal abuse being thrown around. I don’t 
know how many people are subscribed to this list, but it will not be a small 
number. That’s a lot of inboxes. Frankly, anyone should be embarrassed to be 
’shouting’ at someone in such a large and semi-public environment.

k out.

LiveCode is wy less responsive on Windows than on a Mac.

The script editor hangs all the time, even when you turn off all the smart 
stuff. Removing it from defender and stuff helps but doesn’t solve the problem.

LC is quite neglected on Windows and Linux. I understand that mac is the money 
making machine, but the kind of hiccups I see can only be explained by no one 
at HQ using Windows, or they’d have noticed it by now.

 This is a list of people reading and answering questions about LiveCode
 programming.  You might think my explanation of your typo was  not
 what you were looking for especially since I mentioned C and C++ in
 the reply. But  I personally answered the way I did for many reasons
 and even told you to ignore it if that was not what you wanted.  Some
 of the reasons I answered the way I did was that instead of pointing
 out it was a typo I  provided other users reading the message with
 info about why it was a typo. I have made the typo many times and
 I was not sure if you were misled by an error in the dictionary or  if
 it was a typo and I helped people learn the basics of why it was not
 going to work and that behavior of using backslash n  goes back to
 C++ which LiveCode is written in and C++ got the behavior from C.
 
 Another point is people were complaining LiveCode needs to be up
 on the list of programming languages and it was noted that the list
 is based on messages related to the language. Providing links with
 C and C++  and info helps people understand LiveCode better and
 any other language they learn in the future.
 
 So your question has value to many users and to LoveCode on a lot
 of different levels,  not just what you want to hear or learn or even be
 reminded of.
 
 In other words your complaints are invalid and a waste of your time
 with attempts to prevent others from learning.

I ran the original code on my MacBook Pro (16in 2019, 2.3GHx 8 core i9). Three 
quarters of the results were over 4000, almost 150 of those were 4400 or above. 
The highest value was 4493.

Average: 3873 (rounded)
Median: 4081

[Bob Sneidar via use-livecode]

Fine but I am on JB side on this one. I suggest everyone just create a mail 
rule that sends Sean’s posts to the trash. That is what I have done. Maybe at 
some point he will finally get that railing against people inevitably 
accomplishes the exact opposite of his intent, which I think is to get people 
to change the way they respond on the list. But somehow I do not think he WILL 
get it. In fact I get the sense that he just likes to rail against people. This 
isn’t the first time.

Re: [ANN] Release 9.6.2 RC-4

[Bob Sneidar via use-livecode]

To be fail, I do not think the problem is Livecode, I think it’s Windows, and I 
am not sure there is much LC can do to get around whatever it is causing these 
issues. It could be that LC is still a 32 bit app (it installs in the 32 bit 
app folder).

LC is quite neglected on Windows and Linux. I understand that mac is the money

at HQ using Windows, or they’d have noticed it by now.

Re: Find Replace in Script Editor with cr

[Sean Cole (Pi) via use-livecode]

Hi all,

It's gotten out of control, hasn't it. If you are told not to put your hand
in the snake pit and you still do and get bit, it should come as little
surprise to such a person that they get referred to as stupid, in the true
English meaning of the word.

I had asked specifically not to add in this kind of irrelevant nonsense and
to stay on topic. Just to answer the question asked specifically and
directly.

I am happy for you all to block me and not respond to my posts if you so
wish. I only rant at those who really deserve it based on their attitudes
towards hijacking threads and stupidity. I've helped and continue to help
plenty of people here in good manner. And I hold no grudges against any of
you. I help all discriminatorily. Even JB who told me to place my wang up
my own poo hole and do the dirty. Nice! He would probably never need my or
anyones help as he already knows everything to root level anyway.

Besides, this only ever happens in my own threads. Anyone elses I would be
respectful on as I would want them to be on mine. This is a community but
still contains some level of ownership individually.

Bob, I know you can't read this, but I don't rail against all people. Only
those who go out of their way to disrespect my specific requests and those
who demonstrate it and then get upset when I call them out for it. What has
happened on this thread was, if you look back over it, is completely
disrespectful to me before I got provoked into retaliation. If you don't
poke the lion, he won't turn around and bite you. It's that simple. Anyone
who can't get that must be a moron (a medical term denoting an adult with a
mental age of about 8-12) as mentioned.

Guys, Sean is bipolar. He's told us so, and it isn't entirely under his 
control. On the other hand, it isn't pleasant and it's disruptive.


Sean, the problem is, if the accusations and anger keep up, you may well be 
banned from the list. I understand it's hard to control, but you can't 
continue to berate people who've done you no harm and only mean the best. 
From where we are, the accusations seem unreasonable. Your targets don't 

know what they've done to make you angry.

BTW, I've never blocked anyone on any list and I read everything. But when 
you get angry, I ignore it. I know what's going on but no response would help.


I've also hijacked your thread and could have answered privately but I 
thought other listers might want to know why your recent posts are so 
combative.

Re: [ANN] Release 9.6.2 RC-4

[Sean Cole (Pi) via use-livecode]

I'm running it over vnc to a remote server on a single core (2.4Ghz), 4gb
virtual system running Win Server 2016 standard. I edit my code
there directly and have only partial lag due mostly to the screen share,
dropbox scanning and single core nature of it. I've often made my feelings
known about where LC is failing. But this, for me at least, is not one of
them, even with all options on except bracket highlighting (can't remember
why I turned it off).

If you make sure your windows system is clean as it can be you shouldn't
see any serious performance issues. Maybe a bit slower just because (in my
dumb opinion) windoze is rubbish compared with macOS. Photoshop on my
windows pc is less responsive than on my mac. That's not Adobe's fault. LC
is not responsible for what system you are running on or the performance
caveats of one over the other. That's for us to deal with and handle the
best way we can, I guess. But, as highlighted in another thread recently,
what do I know!

Sean
