LiveCode Forums

Forums are bottom-of-the-funnel. To see drivers look at the top of the funnel. No doubt, but as a lambda user we only have access to the bottom of the funnel. Furthermore, if I continue your metaphor, what comes out of the funnel is, in theory, exactly what goes in. The size of the spout only deter...

I'm certainly not going to extrapolate Livecode's situation from these few figures...

Good call. The charts reinforce what we experienced on the ground: the decline plateaued, until FOSS was dropped.

I have recently been inundated by Facebook posts for XOJO showing up on my feed, which are professionally attractive and enticing. Great advertising that almost had be heading to their download area. When the last time this happened to me with LC? Well... never. You may have hit on a key element th...

Good morning, I have just checked and "suspend development tools" removes all options to close the application under development. Quitting Livecode even fails so its a dead end and I have no idea why it is an option; probably a good idea at the time. The goal with suspending the IDE is to provide a...

Richard.

Did you mean "suspend development tools"? I never heard of suspending the IDE.

Yes, suspending. How does that affect what you're experiencing?

If I have both a closeStack and a closeStackRequest handler in the stack script: on closeStack answer random(999) end closeStack on closeStackRequest answer any char of "ASDFG" pass closeStackRequest end closeStackRequest Only "closeStack" fires from the "close" menuitem. Both fire if I close from ...

This (and many other things) would be easily accomplished with a LC field, if LC's mobile engine had Clipboard support. This request has been outstanding for some time: https://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=19990 I'm unaware of a method to use the OS-native editable fields as non-editable. If...

There were two, but I deleted your duplicate post. Please post a given topic in only one place so people know where to reply. Most Web3 apps are open source, and LC discontinued their open source edition some years ago. If you can tell us a bit about how you envision using LC for this project I migh...

SQLite is a relational database system. No one said it wasn't a relational database; it's not an RDMBS . You're fine with "RDBS" but not "RDBMS"? What did "M" do to raise your ire? SQLite can be used as a substitute for ZIP archives or Tarballs. I would not make that recommendation. Well that is of...

Nicely done, Stam. Thanks for posting that.

Back in the open source era I'd hoped it might last long enough to attract contributions for a stats lib and others. Much better than shelling out to some other language. Maybe this will inspire more.

Why rush to a stent when some patients only need a cleaner diet and some exercise? Of course the answer will depend on the patient. Poor example I'm afraid - one option is treatment and the other prevention - you can't prevent with treatment and you can't treat with prevention - you can only preven...

Ultimately however I still think an sqlite database would be a) safer, b) quicker with the number of records discussed here. a) Safer in what way? b) Quicker only for certain operations, and slower for others. Safer because it’s less prone to random errors. Deleting 1 char in a text file (a column ...

Ultimately however I still think an sqlite database would be a) safer, b) quicker with the number of records discussed here. a) Safer in what way? b) Quicker only for certain operations, and slower for others. There's a reason log files are commonly flat files written with append. RDBMSs are optimi...

I have a file with 50,000 rows of about 25 chars per row. I only need to read roughly the most recent 200 rows until something is true and it saves time not to load the entire file using put ULR "file:filename" into tWhatever What is the evaluation test you're performing? It may also be useful to s...

You could make an IDE plugin with two fields, one for the prompt to a GPT API and the other for the response, with a Copy button to put it in your script editor.

Later you could learn enough about the script editor to put it there directly.

Have you used HTTP APIs for GPT?
