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?

Why do I feel that the OP might be a phantom?

I can't imagine how you could get that impression. It's been less than a day since he posted his question.

Nothing is 100% safe. I think you nailed it right there. What we're seeing is a difference between professional and lay reporting, similar to how medical journals and blogs reporting on their articles sometimes differ (Nature's "Myocarditis among Covid-vaccinated patients" being among the most famo...

Since it seems I need to clarify my post: LiveCode language is memory safe because you don't deal with memory allocation/deallocation through the language. Perhaps something to celebrate. This is the point of my post. The misunderstanding here seems to stem from LiveCode's decision to have "LiveCod...

Only one of those variables is declared as global. What happens if you comment the global declaration?

Thank you. Done.

I've tried reaching out to Cyril on LinkedIn, but he's not very active there so I don't expect a response.

If anyone here can reach him, I'd be happy to provide hosting for his LC collection at livecodejournal.com

I don't see a redraw command in the dictionary. I do see three commands that are either inactive or apply only to specific controls like the (deprecated) Browser. There's a "redraw" item in the Glossary portion of the Dictionary window. The Dictionary defaults to showing both language elements and ...

Mine is:

~/Library/Preferences/RunRev/livecode7.rev

Why does show "LiveCode7" of all things?

I believe that's a format specifier, noting the last time the Prefs data stored there underwent significant revision.

@Zax: link76 noted that ftp is not an option for this project.

@link76: what are the symptoms of failure? Any diagnostic info returned from the php script?
