Why not go flashy?

How about:
HyperX (kinda joining HyperCard and xTalk)

Google85 How do you want to use this ability? My demo script can tell the difference between "dog" and "DoG", but then what? Craig Sounds like a good use-case for password management, to name one example. However if managing passwords outside of the home environment, I'd recommend hashing (where ca...

Async callbacks are the tricky case because you cannot call the LCB handler directly from a C thread — it will crash or corrupt state. You need to marshal the call back onto LCB's main thread. There are two practical approaches: Option 1: Polling (Simpler) C side maintains a thread-safe queue. LCB ...

I was wondering if the C code dylib can call back into the LCB? I really don't know enough about LCB (few here do...) According to Claude: Yes, C code in a dylib can call back into LCB, through handler references passed as function pointers. The mechanism works like this: On the LCB side, you decla...

Hi All, I have been wrestling with this for a while now and I have been away from LC for some time now. Trying to get back to it! In an App I aim developing, when I open a particular card I want to populate a field with the contents of a .txt file. Each line of the .txt file contains 4 tab separate...

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) The “wild side” as you call it is not (yet?) fit for my purposes. Webtalk, while cute and surpr...

from the records of the LiveCode company in Britain is that nothing is 'forever' and nothing is quite what it seems. https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/SC200728/charges Is this link news to you? This is an old story and while I don't understand the legalese, my impre...

Alternatively, use an AI to guide you through notarisation. They are usually helpful and if you get errors just feed the error to the AI and it will usually sort it out. I personally use Claude AI but I’m sure any AI would do it.

Some thoughts/questions 1. MacOS version? 2. LC version? 3. Do you have a current subscription if using LC create classic? 4. If you're using legacy version, has it been modified to run on whatever MacOS you're running? 5. Is this code related? create an empty project with no objects or code, make a...

LLM?

Not sure if that is an attempt at humour, or just genuine ignorance.

Maybe you should ask chatGPT instead of posting lame sarcastic comments.

Is that only true for Catalina? And what are the reasons for that? Nowadays you stand a much better chance of getting both a more accurate and definitely a faster answer using one of the many free (or free-tier) LLMs. The role of forums is diminishing day by day but probably forums will still remai...

Yes, server is an important one for me too.
I’m not sure changes to existing installations can be enforced, but then what do I know.

Yes, our thoughts are with Jacque in these deeply troubling times. Stay safe…

Craig, just checking that the sessionLengths is a multi-line string rather than an array?

The way I've used server is as pure middleware between the outside world and the database directly; I have it on a linux server running nginx rather than apache and its job is to manage calls received from http calls to .lc files. LC Server then directly interacts with a MySQL instance on the same s...
