MasterDuke huh, changing infix:<+> in nqp to call nqp::add_i breaks a couple of nqp's tests, but rakdudo builds ok and passes its m-test 01:37
but changing all the math ops in nqp breaks way more of its tests 01:38

stmuk I'm investigating when windows stopped passing 100% 11:32
I'm favouring a star release based on 2016.06 or (2016.06+stuff) 11:33

AlexDaniel Zoffix: you can merge post-release branches regardless of what's going to be with 2018.07 :) 11:52
I just woke up so a verdict will be a bit later I think
but either we skip it completely or we will work with some commit in the past, and you can merge post-release stuff now 11:54
stmuk I was amazed to see that windows even had 100% PASS :) 12:04

Zoffix stmuk: of what, make test? 12:06
stmuk yes of roast .. I didn't try the nqp tests
Zoffix ?
jnthn make test is not roast 12:07
Zoffix There's a ton of spectest failures, including a hang: github.com/perl6/roast/issues/320#...-400838086
timotimo hey Zoffix, any word on when recordings of last night's talk will appear online?
yoleaux 03:45Z <MasterDuke> timotimo: how come there's a smrt_numify and smrt_strify, but not smrt_intify?
Zoffix with near-06 release
timotimo: no idea. There was a hangout turned on, so I imagine there'll be a video of it. When, I don't know. This is the meeting organizer, you could ask him: twitter.com/talexb 12:09
stmuk sorry I meant nqp tests not roast
Zoffix Ah
timotimo: but I don't think there's anything interesting in my talks for people who know Perl 6 already 12:10
stmuk I tried git bisect but it seemed useless since most test points didn't compile under windows anyway
Zoffix Other than maybe having a chuckle at me failing miserable to pronounce "Parametarized array ":)
stmuk actually I probably should have just tried nqp or moar bisect in hindsight 12:11

stmuk actually what is the proper name for "make test" tests ... maybe "core tests"? 12:28
timotimo hm, sanity tests is maybe too "small"

japhb FWIW, Zoffix, I still watch many of the Perl 6 videos after all these years, partly because there's often a different viewpoint or implementation style that I hadn't merged into my own yet, but also partly because I'm trawling for good videos to point Perl 6 skeptics to. 15:10

[Coke] I am happy using a mac for dev work, but am wondering if there's an off the shelf linux laptop anyone would recommend. 18:22

japhb System76 does Ubuntu-out-of-the-box and decent configs. Mind you, I tend to wipe and install Linux Mint these days, but it's all Debian-alikes anyway. 18:49
They're not exactly cheap though, because not enough economy of scale to get the big discounts. 18:50
[Coke] speaking of AC, my thermostat emailed me today to ask if I left a door open. 18:56
The future is kind of weird. 18:57
stmuk dell xps 13 has good linux support (nice kb too) 19:01
Geth rakudo: lizmat self-assigned Constants slower than literals in range creation github.com/rakudo/rakudo/issues/2138
c603340120 | (Elizabeth Mattijsen)++ | src/Perl6/Optimizer.nqp

Part one of fixing R#2138. The case for "my constant $foo = 42" either needs to be fixed differently (as it arrives as a QAST::Var, rather than a QAST::Want or a QAST::WVal). Or maybe "my constant $foo = 42" should be codegenned as a QAST::WVal rather than as a QAST::Var.		 19:06

gfldex is there a hard limit on RAKUDO_MAX_THREADS ? 19:14
lizmat well, there's a default limit in the ThreadPoolScheduler 19:15
you could try raising that with
my $*SCHEDULER = ThreadPoolScheduler.new( max_threads => 666 ); 19:16
timotimo the number of open file descriptors is often what limits you first
maximum number*
gfldex changing $*SCHEDULER is confusing Telemetry. It doesn't show # of threads anymore. 19:20
lizmat hmmm.....interesting :-) 19:21
do you have some code ? 19:22
gfldex neither setting $*SCHEDULER or RAKUDO_MAX_THREADS, nor both gets Rakudo beyond 11 hardware threads
19:22 dct joined
gfldex i have a wee bit of code :) 19:22
lizmat gfldex: weird, I've seen it close to 64 on my machine
gfldex RAKUDO_MAX_THREADS=32 perl6 -Msnapper -e 'my $*SCHEDULER = ThreadPoolScheduler.new( max_threads => 18 ); .say for (1..1_000_000).race(:batch(10000)).grep(*.is-prime)'
timotimo it won't add more threads unless it thinks it's worth it 19:23
gfldex i got myself a Threadripper and wanted to rip some threads with Rakudo :(
lizmat: any simple code that works on your end? 19:24
timotimo try running "sleep 1" on a bunch of threads :P 19:27
also, i think you'd need to give .race a degree parameter, too, to get more threads
gfldex :degree(16) did the trick 19:30
wallclock util% max-rss gw gtc

MasterDuke heh, i now have an nqp where 'say(100000000000000009)' prints '100000000000000009', but it won't build rakudo (and fails a lot of the nqp tests) 22:42
japhb MasterDuke: Are you attempting the num -> int default numeric type conversion? 22:43
MasterDuke japhb: yeah 22:44
timotimo it'd be great to have that 22:47
MasterDuke it's probably beyond me, but maybe i can get started enough to inspire some help 22:48
