May be a plugin to SC wouldn't be too hard either :)

How do you build from source?

Do you use lazbuild?

Yes, the one thing about Lazarus source is that you need to have a working copy of Lazarus to build with.  I think the devs were working on making it so you only have to download FreePascal, the LCL and Lazbuild, but I don't know how far that got.
As far as building with Lazarus, just open pastequick.lpi with Lazarus, it will ask if you want to load the project (say yes) and hit the compile button.
Or lazbuild pastequick.lpi works too.

Thanks for the response.

Well, since I'm testing out packaging it, using the IDE to compile is not really practical :)

My initial attempts at using lazbuild didn't end in success, but hope to go for another round before long.



FWIW, compiling from Lazarus worked fine.  Saw my first paste :)  Nice work!

Sounds nice for sure :)  Hoping the success continues.

I also have a minor suggestions if thats ok:
Would it be possible to obey environment variables? So that we could use something like '%UserProfile%\Documents\VeryImportantDocument.pdf' regardless of the current user name? Or so portable apps could be launched regardless of the current drive letter?

I think this should be doable.  Let me do some testing and see what I can manage.

Sounds like it would be a nice enhancement.  Good luck!

I'm currently using AngularJS in a project and I don't find the terminology particularly nice, but there is some very nice functionality (e.g. two-way data binding and user-definable HTML elements and/or attributes).  There are some helpful introductory resources available now -- don't know what it was like when this article was written.

Perhaps there will come a day when reading/writing JavaScript won't be a weird experience...definitely an odd beast.

I continue to find naming to be difficult.  An art perhaps?

Nice follow up!

Email addresses and email being used as the SOLE link for authentication -- no good.  An appropriate (devil is in the details) alternative would be welcome -- one that does not require the use of email for starters.

385
Good to hear something worked out :)

Don't know how relevant, but FWIW:

Perhaps also of interest:

Although it’s unclear exactly what kind of game Handmade Hero will end up being, Casey says that the project will take at least into 2016 to complete. Before the release, however, people can pre-order the game for $15 and receive access to the full source code. Also, two years after the game’s release, the source code will be released into the public domain.

Thanks for sharing this.

Have been working to wrap head around Rx.  The going has been slow, but recently came across some resources that have been...better than what I had found before:

  • RxJSKoans - once the set-up was complete, this was helpful especially because of the small chunks and interactive experience...didn't know anything about QUnit though and it had been quite a while since interacting with NodeJS, so had to learn / brush up on some of that...some of the code seems a bit buggy which tends to work against the learning experience, but that's a relatively minor point.  The links below the 'Reactive Extensions Class Library' section of the RxJS repository page were helpful -- the fact that the example code seems to often enough reference other library functions does not tend to facilitate newbies looking to shave less yaks, but way better than nothing.
  • Netflix JavaScript Talks - Async JavaScript with Reactive Extensions - nice (and humorous) talk by Jafar Husain (cf. LearnRx Tutorial below) -- via comment on reddit by an RxJS author -- btw, there's a glitch / subliminal advertising(?) at 13:55 or so ;)
  • LearnRX Tutorial - 'a series of interactive exercises for learning Microsoft's Reactive Extensions (Rx) Library for Javascript' - interactive with relatively small chunk-size like RxJS Koans...not quite finished with this and haven't reached the "Reactive" part yet...watching the talk first may help
  • The introduction to Reactive Programming you've been missing - taking a look at this after having gone through some of the RxJS koans was helpful.
  • 'Additional Reading' section of RxJava repository - a collection of resources, many of which somehow I hadn't managed to find in the months since I first started investigating.
  • RxMarbles - Interactive diagrams of Rx Observables - interesting (try dragging and dropping some marbles) but slightly buggy?

Anyone else experienced with / looking into such things and have helpful resources to share?

I'm pretty sure the exact same trends apply to the Play Store - just with far lower revenue numbers.

It would be interesting to see reliable data for the Play Store case.

Thanks for sharing.

I give up.  Please tell me what that stands for :)

Thanks for the feedback and link.  Haven't tried it yet -- interested in seeing how practical it would be to create a live system prepared for something like Android development but am waiting for motivation to build before attempting :)

Note the Kinesis keyboard in the comic ;)  Ok, may be, may be not...

When someone tells you something is new, and it is new to you, why shouldn't you believe them? The obvious answer is that people pushing the next big thing are trying to get rich and will lie like a rug to get there. Been there, almost done that. Another reason is that enthusiasm is infectious. It is just fun to jump on something that seems new and exciting. But, mostly the media have little to write about so they all jump on the same new idea and hype it.

Haven't done much recently with Lua, but I remember the lua-users site to be helpful and specifically the Learning Lua wiki page to be a relevant starting point for learning lua.

I understand it's used for extension in a number of projects -- e.g. VLC, wireshark, etc, -- and this presents one potentially nice approach for learning the language: identify a project (preferably one you have interest in) that's using it for plugins/extensions and start studying the existing plugins/extensions, including modifying them and writing one's own.

Just came across Systemback via this article.  Anyone given this a try with Linux Mint?

Systemback makes it easy to create backups of system and users configuration files. In case of problems you can easily restore the previous state of the system. There are extra features like system copying, system installation and Live system creation.

Odd that 'which' wasn't there already....quite "minimal" as you said.

A quick glance suggests that .install.sh is checking for grep -- it's just a shell script and grepping for 'grep' in the source tree doesn't turn up much so it might be worth just commenting out the checking for grep in .install.sh and trying again.



BTW, if you don't mind sharing, if you execute 'which grep' on the command line, what is the result you see?

Link to source code / tarball under consideration?

One of the features that caught my eye was the debugger -- I didn't quite get it to work on my *nix installation though.  Of course there's the official debugger, but I was looking for something a bit more flashy.

In the mean time I'm using Devel::REPL for some interactive development -- which is better than nothing, but it leaves me feeling that it needs some love and attention...

In any case, good luck with your Perl-ing!
