Interesting clippings from the slides: "What can we do with it? * Write applications. Melodie uses lots of Smalltalk, first pure-Smalltalk app committed to svn in January. * Write scripts. Corner activation and gesture app uses Smalltalk for scripting. * Modify existing apps... " "We can inspect classes in a code browser, see method names, and write replacements in any running application. In a perfect Free Software system, any user can make any changes. "

My comment above might imply that Smalltalk is not modern. The truth is far from it, as Smalltalk is still pushing the boundaries of technology and user interfaces, from Croquet and Qwaq, to Alice, Sophie, Scratch and Etoys.

(I fixed Friday's broken link to the PDF.) From what I read so far, this seems to be another attempt at a fully introspecitve integrated and customisable personal computer with a graphical desktop. In other words, it is Dynabook Smalltalk and Lisp workstations all over again, but quite likely with some interesting modern twists.

We propose a novel user interface metaphor for code understanding and maintanence based on collections of lightweight, editable fragments called bubbles, which form concurrently visible working sets.

Be sure not to use this techniques in present and future web developments.

Manufacturers & Suppliers of standard & custom Hoist Trolley. Hoist trolleys are designed to travel on an I beam, providing a movable anchor point and support for the hoist and lifting device. While be driven, the hoist trolley is separated as a push beam trolley and geared beam trolley. Enquire Now!

Crane lifting clamps, one of the lifting tools and equipment are specially designed for positioning, hoisting, and transferring steel sheets/structures, metal/plastic drum, and various pipes in a straight-up direction or horizontal direction. As one of the top lifting clamps suppliers, TITANSUHE's lifting clamp tools are all structured with a built-in safety mechanism, which consists of a locking device, tension spring, and a lever. When pushing/pulling the lever, the crane lifting clamps safety mechanism provides constant pre-tensioning of the cam on the loads and ensures that the clamp does not slip when lifting force is applied. When a load is being lifted, the clamps for lifting force on the cam is increased by the weight of the load.

Pallet Stackers are designed to lift and handle the palletised loads in factories and warehouses and distribution centers. With similar functions, Pallet Stacker is a cost-effective alternative to forklift trucks. Another advantage of pallet stacker is their compact design which can be used in many applications that require significantly less operating space. TITANSUHE's pallet stackers are available in manual and electric. Both of them can reach higher lift up to 3.5m maximum. Manual Stackers are pushed around by hand and the forks are also lifted manually either using a winch or hydraulic jacking system. While electric stackers are driven by battery. The semi-electric pallet stacker means forks lifting and lowering are electronic, but the travelis manually controlled. A full electric operated stacker means both vertical movement and horizontal movement are controlled by electric.

GitHub updated its online data and insights platform that provides info on local and worldwide impact of developers letting using look their own software development trends. Programming languages are famous topic in software development world and tool provides insight into language by country. Javascript has highest ranked programming language based on number of unique developers who uploaded code followed by Shell and Python. The GitHub innovation Graph was updated with Q1 2024 data adding to data troves that started in Q1 2020. The company launched the tool in 2023 with purpose of letting anyone researchers policymakers developers tp access data. Over 22,233,000 American developers and  1220000 American organization are building on GitHub. The US top three collaborators were UK Canada and Germany American developers uploaded code to GitHub over 27.2 million times American developers and organization owned more than 60.5 million repositories on GitHub. One research analyze the impact of ChatGPT on velocity of software development finding that availability of ChatGPT. Increase the number of Git pushes per 100,000 inhabitants of each country Had positive correlation with number of repositories and developers per 100,000 inhabitants High level languages like Javascript, Python impact on domain specific languages like SQL and HTML One study uses Graph data to show how the proliferation of ChatGPT across the world ahs start to enhance developer engagement across various programming languages/
