I've been running my review collections on OpenExchange now for more than 3 years. I explained the principle I apply in a past article. These reviews are the first step of the quality check in OEX.
My personal Credo My expectation of OEX (expressed in extreme) is to see it rather as a collection of jewels, than just a flea market.
The AI Programming Contest has begun, and we want to support you with an inspiring discussion on AI agents. Let’s explore the past, present, and future of AI agents together!
Just wanted to acknowledge the fact that this community has become a great resource for help. I have had many wonderful people helping me out with my questions in last couple of weeks. Thank you to all of you :)
Our previous code golf ended with an overwhelming win, so now it's time for another one. Parenthesis Hell is a Lisp-like esoteric programming language(esolang).
As a Lisp-like language, the code consists only of nested matched pairs of opened and closed parenthesis.
Your task is to write a method that receives a string of parenthesis and returns 1 if the order of the parenthesis is valid. For example, the string of parenthesis (())() is valid because it contains a matched pair of opened and closed parenthesis at each position. The string ()((()))) is not valid because it contains one unmatched parenthesis.
Documentation here explains how IRIS Portal can be launched in a tab in the VS Code editing area from Server Manager. One limitation though is that if you then perform an action in Portal which needs to invoke a modal message box in the browser (e.g. window.alert() or window.confirm()) this doesn't work.
The goal is to construct a comma separated string, using a loop but the same way $listtostring(var,",") would do (i.e. "a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h" without starting or ending comma).
What is the best way to do it, concerning the readability of the code and its performances?
To do so, there are more than 5 methods, but in this example we will test 4 :
You will receive a positive integer for the number of floors. Your challenge will build a pyramid with a "#" character. As usual, the shortest solution wins.
You will receive a string of comma-separated integers whose elements have both a negative and a positive value, except for one integer that is either only negative or only positive, our challenge will be to find that integer.
As usual shortest solution wins.
As the year comes to a close, it's time to reminisce a little of what's gone on and what was the most important breakthrough or discovery of this year.
I usually receive complains from our customers about the BPL and DTL web pages automatic refreshes, it's a common problem among newbies users but for veteran developers too, they forget to save the changes regularly and automatically the web page is reloaded, losing all the work done.
Maybe an autosave would fix this problem that produces a deep feeling of hate and resentment against InterSystems technology among our customers. I've added an idea in our portal, so feel free to vote it!
Lately, you have probably heard of the new InterSystems Package Manager - ZPM. If you're familiar with it or with such package managers as NPM, Dep, pip/PyPI, etc. or just know what is it all about -- this question is for you! The question I want to arise is actually a system design question, or, in other words, "how should ZPM implement it".
I'm diving deeper into Caché ObjectScript and would love to open a discussion around the most useful tips, tricks, and best practices you’ve learned or discovered while working with it.
Whether you're an experienced developer or just getting started, ObjectScript has its own set of quirks and powerful features—some well-documented, others hidden gems. I’m looking to compile a helpful set of ideas from the community.
An anagram is a word or phrase formed by rearranging the letters of a different word or phrase, typically using all the original letters exactly once.
For example, the word anagram itself can be rearranged into nag a ram, also the word binary into brainy and the word adobe into abode. Wikipedia
Hello community! I'm working on an internal innovation effort at InterSystems considering our documentation/resources around upgrades. As part of this, I'd love to have your answers to any/all of the following questions, either via comment or (if you prefer your answers to be more private) direct message.
Thanks in advance!
What InterSystems products + versions are you running? ($zv is ideal.)
What makes you decide to upgrade?
What are your blockers to upgrading?
What is your process for evaluating and planning a possible upgrade?
Once upon a time in Ensemble Management Portal the pool size of each component (Business Host) within the production was displayed in the Production Configuration page.
This information was very useful, especially when a production have tens or hundreds of components.
Such most popular nowadays CI platforms as GitHub and Gitlab, offers the ability to run any docker image as a service, mostly useful for integration tests.
And I could define a GitHub workflow like this for instance, for some of my Python project which, requires the connection to IRIS
I have a week learning object script after 5 yrs as full stack developer, object script seems to be one of lauguage that has own syntax and new methods that I had to give my self more time to explore a lot. any suggestion about what is the best thing you you did figure out about IRIS to share ?
This is a lesson learned, which I would like to share with community.
Recently I ran into an issue, where I was using %ConstructClone and it kept cloning extra records, which were not needed. The record for which I was trying to run a clone had many-to-one relationships.
The solution to this issue was using param -1. If you run %ConstructClone(-1) it will not clone relationships, but rather just clone single oref as desired in this case.
I hope this information helps someone who is working with similar records.
