Wouldn't aStream nextPut: $.; next: placesDesired put: $0 be better here? I mean $0 is the character we want to see and not something language specific (especially after using $. for the decimal separator). Also creating a string seems to be overkill for most cases. I'm just nitpicking, but couldn't stand to ask. :) Levente snip

TextLint for Emacs & TextMate
by Damien Cassou 08 Sep '11

08 Sep '11

Dear all, Lukas Renggli and I have worked on the integration of TextLint within both TextMate and Emacs. TextLint is a tool to check your scientific writing for common style errors. Integration within TextMate: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SrG29zWHqkk Integration within Emacs: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CsG2DKgHanE It's written in Smalltalk and is currently accessible through: - Emacs (https://github.com/DamienCassou/textlint) - TextMate (https://github.com/DamienCassou/textlint) - The web (http://textlint.lukas-renggli.ch/) - A Smalltalk IDE (http://scg.unibe.ch/research/textlint) Please report any issue to https://github.com/DamienCassou/textlint. I'm also very interested in feedback, code, and whatever can make the whole thing better. If you have any problem or feedback, report on https://github.com/DamienCassou/textlint -- Damien Cassou http://damiencassou.seasidehosting.st "Lambdas are relegated to relative obscurity until Java makes them popular by not having them."

Changes to Trunk (http://source.squeak.org/trunk.html) in the last 24 hours: http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/pipermail/packages/2011-September/004945.… Name: Kernel-nice.614 Ancestors: Kernel-nice.613 Let (ScaledDecimal newFromNumber: 0.0 scale: 2) print itself.

Integer shall be polymorphic to Fraction because Fraction with denominator = 1 don't preserve their class across arithmetic operations. ============================================= http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/pipermail/packages/2011-September/004947.… Name: Kernel-nice.616 Ancestors: Kernel-nice.615 Form a Fraction explicitely rather than sending asFraction when coercing an Integer is required. This way, Integer>>#isFraction and Integer>>#asFraction can be modified. ============================================= http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/pipermail/packages/2011-September/004948.… Name: Kernel-nice.617 Ancestors: Kernel-nice.616 Consider an Integer as a special kind of Fraction (from behavioral POV, not from hierarchical POV), ans as such answer true to #isFraction and answer self to #asFraction. This is a logical consequence of having Fraction with a unit denominator automatically reduced to Integer. Two pre-requisites to this change are: - letting Integer be polymorphic with Fraction by responding to #numerator and #denominator - and don't letting senders of #asFraction rely on the class of the result being a Fraction (which was the case of some coercion message only). These requirements should be fullfiled by update-nice.196.mcm. A side effect of this change is to speed up a bit mixed arithmetic like (1/2)+1, but not 1+(1/2). A second side effect is that (1 at 2) asNonFractionalPoint will now convert coordinates to floating point. There is no other sender of #isFraction or #asFraction affected by the change in the trunk image. =============================================

ScaledDecimal newFromNumber: 0.0 scale: 0 can't print

ScaledDecimal provides a numeric representation of fixed point decimal numbers able to accurately represent decimal fractions. It supports unbounded precision, with no limit to the number of digits before and after the decimal point. ScaledDecimal complies with the ANSI protocols: Object number ScaledDecimal ???? #todo. "finish protocol list." Implementation Notes: + In order to fullfil exact arithmetic requirements, ScaledDecimal is implemented using a Fraction (or an Integer if fraction part is zero) in the fraction instance variable, and a positive Integer number of digits after the decimal point in the scale instance variable. - I implemented ScaledDecimal with the decimal fraction stored in instance variables numerator and denominator, and the number of digits after the decimal point in fractionalDigit as a positive Integer. I implemented operations by first coercing the aurguments to fractions, doing the operations, then coercing the result to the proper numeric representation when necessary and scale. This is because I assume the Fraction class is more likely to implement them correctly. + A scaled decimal will perform arithmetic by coercing the arguments to fractions, and perform the operations with exact arithmetic. + + Note that the denominator needs not being a power of two. If denominator has other prime factors than 2 and 5, then it cannot be printed in decimal form with a finite number of digits. Instead, the printed representation will be truncated to the number of digits prescribed in scale. But beware, the number still has hidden precision. + + Example: + | x | + x := 1 / 3.0s2. + ^{ x printString -> 'truncated print'. + 3 * x -> 'but full precision'} - Richard A. Harmon !

Squeak Oversight Board minutes – 9/6/11
by Chris Cunnington 07 Sep '11

07 Sep '11

Attending: Chris Muller, Bert Freudenberg, Colin Putney, Randal Schwartz, Jecel Assumpacao Jr., Chris Cunnington * Bert and Chris C. returned from ESUG. Quality of attendance was expressed as one of several highlights. * The future of SqueakSource was also discussed. The plan is to employ an updated SqueakSource running on GemStone in the near future athttp://ss3.gemstone.com <http://ss3.gemstone.com/>with the mirror in Chile remaining unchanged. The squeaksource code repository is important to the Smalltalk community as a whole, and so it is very nice that GemStone has taken on this responsibility. * Bert has a change set that can make a trunk image work on iPad like the Etoys image works on the iPad and he is considering merging those changes into the trunk image.http://etoys.squeak.org/experimental/ipad/
