Cmi5 eLearning Standard in LiveCode

2021-01-10 Thread Brian K. Duck via use-livecode
Roger,

I haven’t done anything with CMI5, yet.

I have been running a project during the FREE xAPI Cohorts, both the 2020 
Spring & Fall sessions, where we’ve used LiveCode Comunity to send xAPI 
statements from input received via a MakeyMakey board to an LRS.

The LiveCode for this project is available as a GitHub download, and is usable 
by LiveCode Community. There are JavaScript libraries that I would like to make 
available internal to the stack, guidance on internalizing the HTML, CSS, and 
JavaScript would be appreciated.

The next xAPI Cohort begins February 4th, the live sessions are Thursdays at 2 
PM Eastern, and the signup is at: https://xapicohort.com/

Anyone who would like to learn about using LiveCode for xAPI, online learning 
and assessing training events is invited to join. Once you register for the 
xAPI Cohort, you will receive information on joining the xAPI Cohort Slack 
channel, and you should look for the #Discuss-Dev-LiveCode sub group to join, 
say hello, or reach out to me via slack.

If you like, we could look at building a CMI5 project in LiveCode as a getting 
started effort.

Brian Duck

I'm glad you went there! Thank you. I do ask myself, and the answer is 
clear. Whether it's a Mac, or any other product. Same deal.


Not to mention forced organ harvesting (often while conscious), torture, 
gulags, repression (now becoming fashionable), ethnic/racial crackdowns, 
thought/political/religious crackdowns, IP theft, debt traps, 
poison/health risks, safety flaws, hacking and theft, credible plan for 
world domination, worker hazards and living/working conditions, and the 
list could go on for many pages.


I'm typing this on a PC laptop, with a fan blowing on my face, at a 
desk, sitting on a wheelchair, under a light bulb, all of which probably 
have the same origin. Consumer choices are limited, but it does bother 
me. There's a real need for products produced in a context where human 
rights are respected.


(I consider that human decency, not politics. And for the record, I'm 
completely off cheese at the moment; developed allergic reaction to it.)


Best wishes,

Curry Kenworthy

One could ask him/her-self the question if it is still ethical to buy a 
reall Mac? Seeing the child-labor in their factories in China is still 
present. Seems nothing good enough is yet done to prevent that.

Naturally, right after I post this, Apple makes headlines (again) for 
doing something arbitrary and rather dim.


So an ethical and professional disclaimer:

I don't support self-contradictory and illogical policy,
any more than self-contradictory and illogical UI.

Shallow thinkers (and toddlers of all ages) focus mainly on external 
agreement. It requires some mental development to realize a need for 
intellectual consistency and indeed honesty.


I like the way this principle is clear in the realm of coding. If true 
is also false, logic falls apart. Every logical branch in a script 
evaluates to true or false. True and false must be reliable, not 
arbitrary and capricious. Otherwise code would be unpredictable.


(That's why people who rationalize have trouble writing good code: 
they are speaking a second language, and have trained themselves to 
imitate logic rather than following it! Mental habits matter.)


Apple's biz practices make it difficult to avoid finally replacing my 
2012 Mac, but as most people here probably know, I did not intend my 
statement as an endorsement. Glad Richmond can still work on the G5! :)

Re: Audioclips overlapping

2021-01-10 Thread Richmond via use-livecode

As

get the length of audioClip "M9.wav"

crashes LiveCode

I wonder of there is a way to determine the length of audioClips reliably?

Hmm: Yes, I do work occasionally on a couple of G5 iMac I have lying 
around, and, more often, a G4 Mac Mini
(a lovely machine I can shove in my bag and run back and forth between 
home and work): BUT, to tell the  truth,
at the moment my main work is spread between a 2018 Mac Mini (the last 
INTEL model) running macOS 11.2 and an ASUS

laptop running Xubuntu 20.10.

Apple, like Microsoft, is a profoundly undemocratic institution. This 
should not matter if the 'great dictator' is
truly 'great' (and even the sainted Steve Jobs has feet of clay); but 
those types of dictators only crop up in places

like Plato's Laws and fairy stories.

When I read Plato's Laws I got an ENTIRELY different picture from all 
those 'leisurely chats' between Socrates

and his chums.

A company with no checks and balances, and that doesn't listen to its 
customers, is going to have more than the

odd wonky moment.

Currently the 'great dictator' of my company (me) is listening to the 
Bulgarian Ministry of Education, the parents
of children who attend my language school, 3 trustworthy doctors, my 
assistant, and so on: as not sure when
to stop delivering online classes and restart in the physical school, or 
whether to provide a 'mixed service' with
both online and 'offline' classes (also known as logistical hell). 
Obviously if I don't listen AND act on what I hear

in a way that keeps the majority happy, I'm shafted.

All I can say, with a smile on my lips, is "Thank God" I only have 50 
kids to worry about.


Richmond.
