Re: Devawriter Pro

For those of you who care about this sort of thing, I am just starting the SDLC 7 of my Devawriter Pro software using OXT Lite.

This is planned as a long-term major expansion and refactoring of Devawriter.

Re: Is forever really forever?

Unwanted physical access to a computer by a malicious individual IS a concern, however, embedding a malicious terminal command inside a stack does NOT require physical access to the computer (of course). Emphasis mine on the 'of course'. Windows and Linux will let it through unchallenged. (Yes, new...

Re: Is forever really forever?

against assuming dedicated security professionals are idiots I did not say that, write that, or assume that. So there is an unwarranted assumption about what is going on inside my head. 8) Of course I do wonder how much Apple's 'dedicated security professionals' are that, or people working in Apple...

Re: Is forever really forever?

That's why I can't contribute to the OSS project Oddly enough you can, just as I do, in a small way, even though I know nothing of 'C'. A lot of what can be done is identifying bugs, and what we could call "shortfalls" in the legacy code, as well as running projects that we previously worked with i...

Re: Is forever really forever?

The “wild side” as you call it is not (yet?) fit for my purposes. let's deal with your incredibly dismissive reply bit by bit: Webtalk, while cute and surprisingly performant, feels like a toy and needs a lot more development for it to useful in the sense I need it to be. I always thought 'cute' wa...

Re: libURLDownloadToFile issue

I wonder why you are using libURL when you could use go url "https://unmixr.s3.amazonaws.com/a/167eb769-a1b9-47ac-b7ae-86ae6e5af3ed.mp3" ? Possibly like this: command mp.downloadFile put "https://unmixr.s3.amazonaws.com/a/167eb769-a1b9-47ac-b7ae-86ae6e5af3ed.mp3" into tURL put "/home/madpink/unmixr/...

Re: LiveCode Marketing Suggestions

I’ve seen so many times where companies start out all about engaging their community, but then over time their support and openness kind of fade away. Oh, quite. But we've probably got past that stage as there is now no support or openness whatsoever. AND, by-ther-way: in 1985, in Kirkwall, in Orkn...

Re: Is forever really forever?

You could always take a walk on the wild side: both the Open Source continuation IDE and the web-browser implementation.

Forever is never forever: but some good folk are prolonging 'things' for a bit. 8)
