Herby_ newbie question here... If I'm retrieving a JSON webpage, what's the best way to save the JSON data for later retrieval? use a json module to decode the json, then spurt it to a .json file? 02:58
or just save the entire webpage, and then later slurp the page and decode it
or is one pretty much the same as the other
MadcapJake Best section header: "So you're on Windows" lol 03:05
Herby_: if it's JSON you're retrieving, there's nothing that decoding it will do but make it usable within your program. 03:07
Herby_ just learned that the hardway :)
think i got it now
MadcapJake decoding larger json files is still a bit expensive, if you do need just bits of the data, you could pull it out and spurt into an easier delimited format (commas, \0 or \t) 03:10

Xliff Really? Is there a case where yours would work and .wordcase wouldn't? 10:50
lizmat my point is that you can use split to split on anything, *and* still get the values you've split on with :v

lizmat so you can .join afterwards and get the original back

jast masak: yeah, it's for input streams, e.g. using cin 11:02
11:03 tomboy65 joined
timotimo aye, the out or in goes on the left side of the stream 11:04
that's why it's cout << "foo", or cin >> bar
masak right.
taking a discussion from p6l (back in January, gasp!) to here: I avoid `try` in production-level code nowadays 11:06
it catches too much, including exceptions you don't know you're getting
11:07 tomboy65 left
masak it's as if you're telling your body "keep on walking, even if it hurts" -- and you *think* this is just about your feet hurting a little, but in actual fact one leg and two ribs are broken and you really, really should stop walking 11:07
`try` keeps on walking in that case
I had a couple of these in 007, and it did indeed bite eventually. here's the commit that eliminates them: github.com/masak/007/commit/c062bc...027a4ce2ad 11:08
11:09 tomboy64 joined
timotimo we might want a try variant that explicitly mentions the exception type it would like to defuse 11:09
masak I'm slightly dismayed to see that there are ~800 instances of `try` in the ecosystem. 11:10
11:10 leont_ joined
masak a significant fraction of those are likely to be susceptible in the way I outline above. 11:10
timotimo mhm
masak this smells like a blog post in the making
timotimo sadly, a catch block that no-ops a given type of exception is very wordy
and if you want to limit it to just one expression, it's even worse, because then you've got a do-block on your hands, and extra curlies 11:11
moritz masak: well, look for error handling after the try
masak moritz: well, yes and no.
moritz: it's possible to do that right, and re-throw any unknown exception types. 11:12
moritz: but my guess is it's rare, because the default is suppress-everything.
and people focus on the happy case, or more to the point, only the expected exceptions :)
jnthn It's horses for courses. Sometimes "it failed in some way" is eough information. 11:14

moritz looking for very specific exceptions also has its dangers

masak jnthn: yes, horses for courses, agreed.

masak jnthn: I guess the next step is to check those ~800 uses and categorize them :) 11:16
brrt har har.... har
masak moritz++ # that "search the ecosystem" thing
moritz in python, folks tend to write things like foo = bar['baz'].quox() and catch AttributeError
masak brrt: you think I'm not serious? :)
moritz what about AttributeError thrown from quox()?
lizmat PSA: I'll be travelling for most of the rest of the day, and probably won't be in a state to finish the P6W tonight
brrt all the same to a python programmer moritz
masak moritz: even there, the problem is lack of specificity, not over-specificity
lizmat so most likely the P6W will appear tomorrw 11:17
brrt masak: it just reminds me of my own problems with OSM data
'i just categorise the 800 different ways that this data can fail, and patch them up'
moritz masak: right; but no language I know of offers this kind of specifity
timotimo moritz: that's not actually syntax, right? "and catch AttributeError"?
brrt now i have to implement a minimum-cost-spanning-tree classifier in plpgsql, figure that
moritz masak: so it's better siimply check for 'baz' in bar foirst 11:18
timotimo: no, it's except AttributeError: pass
timotimo right
brrt actually, now that i'm here, do any of you know of a better classification algorithm;

RabidGravy I have 24 try in 51 modules 11:19

brrt i intend to classify them based on tuple-to-tuple proximity using, well, minimum-cost-spanning-tree 11:19
i want this to be repeatable, so k-means is out 11:20
then after classification, figuring out the consensus value is easy
RabidGravy 8 of those are in one module
11:20 donaldh left 11:21 kaare_ joined
jnthn masak: Another thing to keep in mind when you're doing analysis of try: it's entirely possible to use CATCH without a try 11:21
masak: So just looking at how people use try won't be representitive of how robustly people handle exceptions.
RabidGravy two are in modules whose explicit purpose is to determine whether doing something would infact throw an exception 11:22
timotimo we could write a "fuzzer" of sorts that replaces exceptions with different types and analyzes paths taken in response
masak jnthn: well, what I want to check is how people mis-use `try`
timotimo RabidGravy: the way you write it "would" makes it sound like you've solved the halting problem :D
RabidGravy I didn't know there was any other way of spelling would 11:24
brrt otoh, sometimes you do want 'catch all the things' 11:25
RabidGravy I'm actually surprised I only have one "try require ::($module)"
timotimo i meant to refer to the whole sentence structure :)
jnthn masak: Ah, so the CATCH cases aren't even that interesting for you. OK :)
masak brrt: I think that's rather rare.
brrt: my thesis is that people *think* they want that way more often than it's actually good to do that. 11:26
moritz masak: interesting exercise: submit 5 PRs to make some of these trys more specific
brrt antithesis: people think they want that more often than *you* think they should want that
masak moritz: ooh
moritz masak: and count how many you visited until you got to the five 11:27
masak brrt: that doesn't feel very anti- :)
brrt well, its subtly anti 11:28
masak brrt: I think they do it too often because there's a real reason not to
timotimo so maybe it's the dualthesis?
masak it's not opinion, it's grounded in reality and actual bugs
timotimo sidethesis?

masak brrt: I'd give you more credit for that point if it weren't for the fact that I *was* bitten by exactly this 11:29
so my blog post would count as a warning to others, based on hard-school-of-life experience
anyways
brrt masak: you are absolutely right, in a way that is going to be completely unconvincing to the mentality of a grunt programmer
masak goes back to writing more code that can blow up in various ways
timotimo hard-school-of-life sounds much less fun than, say, Video Game High School 11:30
pmurias masak: isn't catching too match a general problem rather then something Perl 6 specific?
RabidGravy actually that's 13 in 48 modules if I exclude one which I haven't released

RabidGravy I have one module that has four try of which two could be removed completely because I actually catch the one exception I care about, one is associated with an open RT and one is "try and coerce something and *shrug* if it doesn't work" 11:41
masak RabidGravy: the last one, does it call a function or a method? 11:42
RabidGravy function
masak and that function will never, ever throw an exception for any reason whatsoever? 11:43
(or call something that does)
11:43 leont_ left
RabidGravy but the outcome is the same, "that didn't work" 11:44
masak ok 11:45
11:47 kid51 left
RabidGravy In a whole category of cases I have an attempt at coercion and leave the value as it was if it fails, thereby delegating the failure to a type constraint 11:47
which is actually what, for the most part, I want to happen as it makes more sense 11:48
pmurias node rakudo.js --setting=NULL -e 'nqp::say "Hello World"' just worked (locally with a bunch of hacks, including support for running code with --setting NULL), will now work on having it work in a commitable way 11:53

smls I found another interesting Rakudo concurrency failure mode: 11:56
«No such symbol 'primers' at /path/to/my/script/EVAL_19:4 ------> $self(primers⏏.list[0], |{ %ahash, %chash }); # |{} wo»
Note that the code is not from my script (nor does my script use EVAL).
So that's some sort of Rakudo internals leaking out... :P
11:57 pierre_ joined
timotimo what is |{ %ahash, %chash } all about? o_O 11:57
brrt jnthn: is there some reason why writing a return value in the last bits of ->work would be invalid? 11:58
in the reframe branch, i mean 11:59
masak pmurias++ # woot! 12:00
RabidGravy: even in the cases where you reliably fail no matter what the cause, the `try` has thrown away all the details about the cause. 12:01
(or, it hasn't -- the details are in $! -- but if you're not checking $! then that makes no difference) 12:02
RabidGravy I'm really not seeing the problem 12:04

masak it all depends on how much machinery you're hiding away in the `try` 12:09

12:09 pierre_ left
timotimo ah 12:09
smls src/core/Block.pm
timotimo holy hell, that's a long piece of code 12:10
RabidGravy no, it *is* fine
timotimo looks like there's a , missing in there? 12:11
"primers |{..., ...}" isn't correct 12:12
smls timotimo: I think what's going on is that I have different *clones* of the same closure on different threats, and calling .assuming on them at the same time.
Is that not allowed?
12:13 uruwi left
timotimo oh, depends on capwrap 12:13
smls ?
timotimo if they share lexicals they've closed over, that could be problematic
but what you have there is a parse error
isn't it?
12:14 araujo left
smls a parser error inside the EVAL that .assuming does, yeah 12:14
timotimo the assuming method doesn't write to $! attributes at least 12:15
and also doesn't call anything much on $self
so it'd surprise me if it's not reentrant, so to speak
you could try doing the .assuming up front and see if it makes any difference
smls timotimo: Unfortunately I can't reliably reproduce it. It has only happened twice so far. 12:16
timotimo ah, of course :( 12:17
there's also a cross-thread-write error log thingie for moarvm that'd yell at you when you do things that may be troublesome; no clue how noisy that usually is with regards to false-positives
smls Sound useful, how can I activate that? 12:18
Also, is there a non-mutating form of .assuming? 12:19
(The name suggests it would return a new closure anyway. The mutating form should have been called .assume)
timotimo give me a second. 12:21

awwaiid hoelzro (or anyone interested in REPLness): I updated github.com/rakudo/rakudo/pull/738 so it now works with jvm. I haven't tried on windows yet to see if that is different. 12:32
Ulti cool 12:35
is the JVM version of Rakudo also 6.c ? 12:36
jnthn brrt: Well, the end of ->work is used for arg passing
awwaiid As far as I know that's a goal, though I think there are still some issues. It's working better this month than previously for me :)
jnthn brrt: And the GC scans its content by looking at the callsite used to pass args 12:37
brrt: So you can't just stash a value in the end slot really.
brrt hmmm
thing is
i've been reusing that slot in the jit for the return address of istrue in the if_o to istrue-lowering 12:38
now, when we're calling Bool(), we have no args except perhaps the callee
ehn, invokee
timotimo ideally, we'd already turn an if_o or istrue_o(?) into the call at spesh time when we know the STable, invocation mode, etc etc 12:39
same with some other things that have that kind of mode
brrt that has worked without problems for a long time, it may be so that there is something wrong there in the reframe-jit
jnthn brrt: Oh, so you're just stashing a value in there?
brrt aye
jnthn You'd likely get away with that...
brrt well, i'd think so 12:40
jnthn I don't see why you'd stop being able to get away with it
brrt thing is, we're clearly running into an infinite loop
in reframe-jit, in QRegex EXPR method, somewhere...

Xliff On the whole try/catch issue. Is it the implementation of try/catch that's the problem or how it is used? 13:19
RabidGravy we'd all better stop writing software using perl 6 then
Xliff Because I believe that you test by exception type and then rethrow everything else in the default case.
timotimo it's only "try" without catch 13:20
putting try inside an expression
Xliff o_O
What's the point of "try without catch"?
RabidGravy Xliff, try on its own because it may inadvertently hide errors you do care about
Xliff O_o
brrt Xliff: to not die in the face of errors 13:21
Xliff looks at the sky and screams "whhhyyyyy"
brrt it has to do with the psychology of a creature called 'the normal person'
the kind of people who hit an electrical device to make it work
Xliff brrt: I am a fan of "die if this specific error", but "die on any error" is something that very rarely will work as expected.
I speak from experience.

geekosaur may also :p
timotimo Xliff: do you have your nots reversed there?
Xliff vaguely spherical, vaguely uniform.
brrt i *think* the issue here may be that perl6 makes this case really easy, and you shouldn't use it
RabidGravy if you *shouldn't* use it then it *shouldn't* be in the language 13:23

Xliff Oh. LOL! Same name.
Any idea when (un)?pack will move out of the experimental phase? 19:32
RabidGravy audio::sndfile doesn't do compressed audio
Xliff RabidGravy, Ahhh.
RabidGravy the most complex it does is flac
timotimo Xliff: it'll need an implementation first :) 19:33
Xliff timotimo, you're kidding me? That's still NYI (Not yet implemented) 19:34
Juerd timotimo: And before that, perhaps some specification :)
Xliff Aaieee!
Juerd Xliff: pack/unpack is unspecified, perhaps mostly an oversight.
Xliff wonders how he's going to do WAV header parsing without it.
Juerd Xliff: Well, there's something in place, just not feature complete.
RabidGravy it's partially implemented, no-one likes the way it works
Xliff I could always cheat and use Inline::Perl5
timotimo yes, partially implemented, but that implementation will (hopefully) go away before the feature goes non-experimental 19:35
Xliff >.>
RabidGravy Xliff, you can use Audio::Sndfile :)
Xliff <.<
Juerd If you're interested in pack/unpack, could you read gist.github.com/Juerd/ae574b87d40a66649692/ and comment if you have any thoughts on that design?
Xliff RabidGravy, yes. And that is on my list of possibilities. However using a module that can read/write Ogg/Vorbis to test one that will read/write Ogg/Vorbis seems rather...err... meta. 19:36
19:36 ZoffixW left
Xliff I'd like Audio::OggVorbis to have as few dependencies as possible. 19:36
Xliff goes to read Juerd's gist
CIAvash ZoffixW: You can also use the match method instead of matching with comb: `'moo=meow ping=pong'.match(/(\w+) '=' (\w+)/, :g)` 19:37
RabidGravy Sndfile can't read/write ogg vorbis
Xliff RabidGravy, says so here -> www.mega-nerd.com/libsndfile/#Features. There's a footnote right after the table that states: "From version 1.0.18, libsndfile also reads and writes FLAC and Ogg/Vorbis." 19:39
dha ZoffixW - nice article. Also, that's a big comb. 19:40
Xliff Juerd: By "byte-prefixed" do you mean "<byte> <data>" where <byte> is the length of the data? 19:41
Juerd Xliff: Line number? 19:42
Xliff 44
Juerd Oh, byte *length* prefix. That's the length in number of bytes, prefixed as some number 19:43
timotimo does the byte length prefix also have a byte length prefix length prefix?
Juerd This number could have any encoding, e.g. uint32 or uint8. The length prefix itself can thus be one or multiple bytes.
RabidGravy Xliff, well I never, I must have had an older version when I first made it :)
Xliff OK. I am reading this right, then.
Juerd timotimo: Templates can be nested, so that is possible.
timotimo OK
oh, that's your design from back then! 19:44
Xliff RabidGravy, LOL!
Juerd timotimo: Yes, that I never had time for to implement.
Not that I know enough low-level p6/nqp to even dare...
RabidGravy I'd just make it in Perl 6 in the first place 19:45
pack & unpack are
Juerd Yes, and that makes them unusably slow.
19:46 CIAvash left
RabidGravy well there's the problem 19:46
Juerd One of several :)
timotimo Juerd: my ($s, $i) = $blob.decode([ "latin1", uint16 ]); # FAILS - btw, why does this fail? why doesn't it just find the first null byte and then unpack a uint16
Juerd timotimo: Because I didn't want to specify that latin1 cannot include null bytes. Instead, null-termination will need to be indicated explicitly. 19:47
Xliff timotimo, I was just about to ask that.
timotimo ah
Juerd timotimo: Good point, though! I only considered \0 strings for encoding, and thought that Nil could perfectly handle that. But for decoding, something else is needed. 19:48
Xliff Juerd: So how does the other one work, then? "my ($n, $s) = $blob.decode([ num, "latin1" ]);"
Juerd Xliff: That reads to the end of the input
Xliff: Non-length-specified types can be specified at the end of the template
RabidGravy but to go back to the original question pack/unpack aren't going anywhere
Xliff So "my ($n, "latin1", $n) = $blob.decode([num, "latin1", num])" will fail? 19:49
Juerd Xliff: Yes.
Xliff kk
RabidGravy there is software that uses them *which was made before everyone moaned them into being marked experimental* 19:50
19:50 _ramix_ joined
Xliff BUT! "my ($n, $s, $n) = $blob.decode([num, uint8 => "latin1", num])" is valid? 19:50
Juerd RabidGravy: It had to be made experimental because there's no way the current design could be repaired without breaking compatibility.
Xliff: Indeed.
Xliff RabidGravy, Oooh! So the "experimental" stuff is the result of groaning? 19:51
RabidGravy yeah
Xliff I'm SAVED!
Juerd Why 'moaning' and 'groaning'?
Xliff Still will need to taint my module with "use experimental" but I don't feel so bad about it, now. 19:52
Juerd Xliff: It's just an indication that your software *will* break once these features are touched. 19:53
Practically any change to this will be incompatible.
Xliff And I will just have to accept the responsibility to fix it when that happens.
RabidGravy well, that's what it was. there isn't an alternative implementation, and the functionality is required
Xliff Because parsing binary headers will be a bitch without it. 19:54
Juerd RabidGravy: So should we have gone with the broken and unfixable thing we have now, without indicating that it will break?
19:54 _4d47 joined
Juerd You could argue that the release was rushed because the spec and implementation were incomplete, but imho a release is a mostly symbolic thing anyway. 19:55
No piece of software has ever been perfect, especially at 1.0 19:56
RabidGravy so how come Net::AMQP was working fine for a year using it before all that?
Juerd Oh, really? How can something be broken if it worked for a particular purpose?
19:57 hankache left
RabidGravy er, you've lost me 19:57
dogbert2 o/ #perl6
Juerd RabidGravy: Your argument seems to be that Net::AMQP having workend, means that pack/unpack is sufficient to not be experimental. 19:58
_ramix_ Hi. We have the Spanish version of perl6intro: es.perl6intro.com. Enjoy it!
dogbert2 doc question
19:59 dotnessv joined
Juerd It's a stub at best. Useful and it would suck if we didn't have it, but not anything we can build future versions on. Not a weird situation, considering that it was built without specification. 19:59
dha yay! someone other than me has a doc question! :-)
dogbert2 the 'write' method in IO::Socket has the following documentation 'Writes the supplied buffer to the socket, thus sending it to other end of the connection. The string version is method send.'
RabidGravy my argument is that it does what it does sufficiently well for something quite complicated to work 20:00
[Coke] RabidGravy: are you saying it's not experimental?
dogbert2 There is no method 'send' in the source as far as I can tell. Should it in fact be 'print'?
Juerd RabidGravy: Yes, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's good enough to take forward. There are many things that it doesn't do, but cannot be made to do without breaking compatibility.
[Coke] dogbert2: Channel has a send, FWIW. 20:01
Juerd RabidGravy: That a specific example doesn't exercise those missing features doesn't mean a thing. Obviously, it if needed those features, the module might not have existed.
dha Perhaps we should encourage people not to think "experimental" doesn't mean "doesn't actually work"...
dogbert2 [Coke]: yup, but there's no suck thing in src/core/IO/Socket.pm 20:02
RabidGravy I'd actually go for something completely different, which isn't pack/unpack at all
dogbert2 *such
[Coke] dha: some docs on "is experimental" are probably in order if we don't have them, sure.
Juerd RabidGravy: So would I. Have you seen my gist at gist.github.com/Juerd/ae574b87d40a66649692/ yet? I went with encode and decode, just like character encodings, because that's what number encodings are: encodings.
RabidGravy as it is, I've stopped the MIDI file module because of the uncertainty 20:03
Juerd, I saw it before.
Juerd NB: if someone has a git account and can add a comment that terminator-specified decoding is a required feature, that would be welcome 20:04
I don't have my phone with me and I need that to login at github...
timotimo OK 20:05
Juerd Thanks :)
timotimo there you go 20:06
Juerd I'll think up some way to fit it into the design
First thought is "\0" => "latin1" 20:07
But I'll think about it some more because I don't like that.
timotimo will we have something like "\r\n\r\n" => "latin1" for HTTP header section, too? 20:08
Juerd I think HTTP headers should be approached as text, not binary :)
RabidGravy yeah
Juerd I like "latin1\0" better, but it might be nice to support arbitrary delimiters, maybe even bracketing ones. 20:09
Xliff That will make it…interesting…to parse. 20:10
timotimo yes 20:11
well, we'd really like to have something fast and short to type to split a buffer at a multi-element delimiter
Xliff Juerd: also encode/decode are already used in Buf and Str.
Juerd Xliff: Yes, my design intends to extend that 20:12
Xliff: The rationale behind this is that string encodings and number encodings can be treated as one thing. 20:13
Xliff Ahh.
Makes sense.
Juerd Both are ways of encoding numbers anyway
timotimo: Er... I think we already have that: .split
timotimo on blobs? 20:14
Juerd If it doesn't exist, it should :)
m: my $b = Blob.new(65, 13, 10, 65); say $b.split(Blob.new(13, 10))
camelia rakudo-moar f05c77: OUTPUT«Use of uninitialized value of type Any in string context␤Any of .^name, .perl, .gist, or .say can stringify undefined things, if needed. in block <unit> at /tmp/eGPvlvvg_t line 1␤Cannot call split(Blob, Blob); none of these signatures match:␤ in bl…»

Xliff Juerd, looks good. I've made a comment on your gist. 20:27
AlexDaniel tailgate: what about perl6 -Ilib/foo/
timotimo shouldn't -Ilib work just as well? then you'd have to use foo::bar
Xliff It's much easier to understand than pack/unpack. 20:28

moritz fails to Apache 20:31
Xliff wonders if Apache had it's head scalped... or if Apache was the one doing the scalping.
moritz was unclear.
moritz Xliff: it's the one not doing the redirect :( 20:32
Xliff What are you trying to redirect?
mod_rewrite?
moritz perlpunks.de/paste/show/571e7eda.3187.86
yes
I'm trying to redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS, except for the URLs that the lets-encrypt/ACME protocol uses for domain verification 20:33
AlexDaniel dogbert2++ for working on documentation
moritz and it doesn't redirect anything 20:34
and I'm using pretty much exactly the same code for a different domain, where it works
timotimo ugh, is there some tool that outputs the exact configuration that applies with all things that come from other sources, too? 20:35
like the "calculated css" thing inside chrome's dev tools for css rules
psch AlexDaniel: well, i'm pretty sure that can be a really interesting discussion 20:36
moritz timotimo: well, firebug does it too 20:37
AlexDaniel psch: yea!
psch i'm not quite sure if i know enough arguments to stick with my position though...
moritz timotimo: but outside the browser? I'm not aware of any tools
psch m: say 2 ~~ %( 0 => 1, 2 => 3 )
camelia rakudo-moar f05c77: OUTPUT«True␤»
psch m: say <a b c> ~~ (**, "c")
camelia rakudo-moar f05c77: OUTPUT«True␤»
Xliff moritz: For this I wonder if your RewriteCond is off. You might want "RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off", instead
timotimo how do people debug apache without something like that :\
psch AlexDaniel: note that design.perl6.org/S03.html#Smart_matching didn't speculate on $item ~~ $list at all
moritz Xliff: this is only the virtualhost for port 80, so no need for that 20:38
Xliff timotimo, we read log files.... LOTS AND LOTS of log files.
[Coke] so does sawyer X hang out on freenode anywhere?
psch i think that's the strongest argument i have. $item ~~ $list does not have any meaningful behavior, it's just False out of principle it feels
Xliff moritz, then drop the RewriteCond?
AlexDaniel psch: I'd love to have M metaop though
Xliff If that's the only host for port 80 then the rewrite is implicit. 20:39
moritz Xliff: no, that's needed for the lets-encrypt domain verification URLs
psch AlexDaniel: what does that do?
Xliff So that's why !well-known is there?
moritz Xliff: it's not the only host
Xliff Coz I couldn't find it in the mod_rewrite docs.
moritz Xliff: ! is just a negation
psch AlexDaniel: i don't quite grasp your snippets in the comment... :)
AlexDaniel psch: well, it's for comparing lists 20:40
moritz Xliff: and well-known is a regex I match against the URLs that I want to exclude from the redirect
the URLs I want to exlude look like /.well-known/acme-challenge/evaGxfADs6pSRb2LAv9IZf17Dt3juxGJ-PCt92wr-oA
AlexDaniel psch: with an explicit op to do comparisons. Much like you do in “$x eq any(…)” case 20:41
Xliff moritz: "RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /^\.well-known/" 20:42
Your regexp isn't in that paste.
I'm running on guesswork here.
moritz Xliff: "well-known" *is* the regex 20:43
Xliff But it sounds like your Cond isn't matching. Have you turned up the LogLevel? 20:44
psch AlexDaniel: what's the general semantics? i mean, you mention that your example doesn't account for different length of lists, how does the propose metaop M deal with that?
+d
oh, and why doesn't hyper do that? 20:45
m: my @a = ^4; my @b = ^6; say (@a xx *) == (@b xx *)

psch err
Xliff moritz: OIC.
moritz Xliff: the rewritecond is a red herring; even if I remove it, no rewrite happens
psch m: my @a = ^4; my @b = ^6; say (@a) <<[==]>> (@b)
camelia rakudo-moar f05c77: OUTPUT«[True True True True False False]␤»
Xliff moritz: Turn up your LogLevel and see what's actually going on.
When (what should be) common sense fails, log everything. 20:46
I hate debugging crazy rewrite rules.
psch AlexDaniel: well, i don't think i understand the need nor the intent behind a list-comparison metaop... :)
Xliff Mainly because logging is the only debugging tool you have.
moritz argl 20:47
and mod_rewrite "of course" dropped RewriteLog 20:48
Xliff It's LogLevel, now
moritz yes, and will log all the other noise that I'm not interested in
HATE
timotimo well, just replace the apache setup with a few hundred lines of node.js code
RabidGravy I worked at a certain large media organization where everything was rewrite rules, did my head in 20:49
timotimo node.js outperforms apache anyway, because apache was developed before async was discovered
Xliff timotimo, o_O
psch AlexDaniel: don't take this as shooting down, though. i'm fairly sure i just don't understand what exactly you're proposing... :/
timotimo Xliff: that comes from a pretty funny internet video 20:50
ugexe al gore discovered async in 2001
psch oh boy, the $item ~~ $hash case can make for a wonderful $item ~~ $list idiom, actually 20:51

psch there, "is the item in the list" with smartmatch
moritz is there some weird magic that if you have a .htaccess file that rewrite stuff in the virtual host config isn't applied? 20:52
20:53 ptolemarch left
Xliff Are there rewrite rules in the .htaccess file? 20:53
moritz yes
Xliff Can you paste those? 20:54
moritz Xliff: github.com/moritz/perlgeek.de/blob.../.htaccess
psch AlexDaniel: in any case, i'll reply properly to the ticket tomorrow which at least my arguments, even if i'm not sure i'll actually be able to argue a specific position...
Xliff "RewriteRules" before "RewriteEngine on" :/ 20:55
moritz ... and it doesn't error out 20:56
wow
Xliff moritz: Is this a devel server or production? 20:57
If devel, then move the .htaccess file out of the way so you can debug your problem in the clear.
moritz Xliff: prod
Xliff Then move the .htaccess file back in and see if it still breaks.
moritz: :/
moritz or I just move the redirect to the .htaccess file
Xliff Always best to move other shit out of the way when debugging a specific RewriteCond/RewriteRule block. 20:58
OOps! Sorry about the language.
Getting tired I am. 20:59
dha Yeah, I mean... mentioning DEBUGGING.
Xliff I know rite!
Xliff washes mouth out with Raid.
Xliff dies.

well, mystery unsolved, problem solved
timotimo yay
Xliff Wow
moritz time for sleep
Xliff moritz++
timotimo it was because of the wrong location of RewriteEngine on? 21:02
AlexDaniel psch: yeah, thanks :)
moritz timotimo: I have no idea. Probably not
timotimo oh, OK
moritz I guess it inherited the RewriteEngine On from the vhost config, or something
Xliff timotimo, No. I think if there is an .htaccess file with Rewrite directives it ignores anything in the virtual host config.
moritz there are days when I think I shouldn't software.
timotimo urgh!
good rest, moritz :)
Xliff Or it could just be the presence of the .htaccess file 21:03
I haven't Apache'd since 2.2
moritz thanks everybody
Xliff Good night, moritz
timotimo what do you webserver these days, Xliff? 21:04
nginx has risen up in popularity over the last years i hear
teatime paste.debian.net/plain/440861 ← halp. fails at the "Function Composition" example with "Preceding context expects a term, but found infix = instead" (@:43)
timotimo but i've kind of liked lighttpd in the mean time
teatime: i think it wants you to terminate the "sofar" 21:06
with just =finish it works
but clearly the error message is bogus as hell 21:07
teatime wat... I only did that to separate out the rest of the stuff from the other examples
to golf for reporting purposes... and created new error, hooray me :/
Xliff timotimo, I don't! I've webservered maybe 2 things in the past 3 years and it was Apache 2.2 because they couldn't upgrade to 2.4 because...breakage!
timotimo :)
21:08 perlawhirl left
timotimo is apache 2.2 still being bugfixed and securityfixed? 21:08
Xliff Sometimes I miss it.
teatime how did you get it to work? I added =finish to the end of the file, also tried =end, getting same error?
Xliff Then it passes.
timotimo not the end of the file
replace =begin sofar with =finish 21:09
teatime aye yeah just figured that out
21:11 polyfloyd left 21:13 polyfloyd joined
timotimo and the error you're getting is probably just because you've not specified a value for s in your A.new 21:17
21:17 dolmen left
teatime timotimo: heh, I'm trying to figure out how to. should I have a new() or a BUILD ? 21:22
21:22 rindolf left
timotimo the default new you'll get just passes on all named parameters to the BUILDs 21:22
if you want to get by entirely without new and BUILD, you'd "has $.s" instead of "has $!s" 21:23
geekosaur BUILD. new should only be overridden in very special cases sinceyou need to handle superclass building and iirc roles yourself
teatime timotimo: and that makes the attribute directly rw from outside the class ?
timotimo no 21:24
for that you have to "is rw"
private attributes are mostly about "this isn't part of the API"
we've always said if you set the value of "s" directly from the constructor and even give its name, why is it private in the first place? 21:25
21:27 sortiz joined
masak I'm not sure I fully buy that argument 21:27
partly because the one who creates the object and the one who uses it might be two different consumers with different access to its innards 21:28
timotimo you can rent the argument if you want to
after 3 months i'll let you decide if you want to continue renting, buy it properly, or drop the deal altogether 21:29
(of course in the latter case you'll have to return the argument, and pay for any repairs necessary to restore it to what it was when you started renting)
masak another consideratum: object construction sort of happens at the *edge* of the object's life cycle, technically before it starts being all encapsulation...y and stuff 21:30
timotimo good point 21:31
jnthn The best argument, to me, is the simple one that we decided we'd like to aid refactorability by making sure that you can refactor any $!foo without having to consider anything outside of the class body. 21:33
Private methods work out the same 21:34
masak yes, that is still a strong argument
mst timotimo: what masak said about different consumers 21:35
if I want to expose an interface object to the outside world with a reference to a guts object, I need to pass the guts object in at construction time 21:36
in perl5 I usually do "has _foo => (is => 'ro', init_arg => 'foo');"
timotimo nothing prevents you from making the constructor private and "trusts" for something else :)
we do have an ecosystem module that provides the equivalent of init_arg if i'm not mistaken
mst sure, but a private constructor doesn't affect the "if you set it directly, why is it private" question 21:37
timotimo mhh, OK
jnthn If you want to have a non-accessor'd attribute assigned from a named parameter, it's just a BUILD submethod away. There's even a parameter binding syntax to let you do it declaratively. 21:38
mst I'm not expressing a specific opinion, just poking holes in an argument I don't believe holds water in practice
timotimo right, that's incidentally what teatime is using in their code right now - what jnthn just mentioned
21:38 zakharyas joined
mst jnthn: yep, and I have no problem with that. you're assuming I was making a stronger argument than what I actually said, I think 21:38
pattern matching a nuanced position to a more absolutist version you've argued against before is such an annoying failure mode of brains (mine included) 21:39
jnthn mst: I was actually reacting to "we have an ecosystem mdoule to do X" :P
mst jnthn: init_arg isn't the same thing as that. 21:40
jnthn Ah, fair enough
mst the specific use I put it to is basically equivalent
jnthn What other uses can it have?
mst apart from the action-at-a-distance-ness, depending on how you look at it
init_arg => undef lets you have a public attribute that isn't settable via the constructor 21:41
and sometimes you're emulating somebody else's new() protocol
are the two that immediately spring to mind
jnthn In the latter, you want to take a different name than your attribute? 21:42
mst right
it's not honestly something you want very often
jnthn submethod BUILD(:it's-name($!my-name)) { }
:)
uh, *its
timotimo jnthn: did you notice i put more work into the "create code from a buildallplan" branch? any chance you'd know when you could have a look at it? since it's failing in a hard-to-debug way for me ;(
jnthn Damn, I am tired :P
mst ah, well, in that case it's just aesthetics as to whether you prefer it in BUILD or as an annotation on the attribute 21:43
timotimo hm. maybe it'd be a good idea to just dump the qast of the code i generate for later inspection
jnthn timotimo: Sometimes after I've finished banging my head against the GC bugs my torture testing turned up, maybe :)
mst I suspect but cannot yet confirm that BUILD will be fine for me
timotimo yeah, let's dump a blob of qast for pretty much every class in the core setting
that doesn't sound like a firehose of information at all
jnthn timotimo: Just check if an env var is set and only dump in that case? 21:44
timotimo well, loading the core setting fails, so i can't run any simpler code than the core setting through this yet 21:46
i can, however, turn off actually installing the method when an env var isn't set
21:46 ZoffixWin joined, ZoffixWin left, ZoffixWin joined
jnthn Right :) 21:46
timotimo also, can you explain to me what code 13 does? it seems to just call a getattr; is it to trigger autovivification of attributes? 21:47
it's a no-op in BUILDALL, but it does that in BUILD_LEAST_DERIVED
tony-o ZoffixWin : for Data::Dump - you do realize that Match.gist doesn't output the same as .perl ?
ZoffixWin m: say ('foobar' ~~ m/foo/).gist 21:48
camelia rakudo-moar f05c77: OUTPUT«｢foo｣␤»
jnthn timotimo: Yeah, it just does a getattr
ZoffixWin m: say ('foobar' ~~ m/foo(bar)/).gist 21:49
camelia rakudo-moar f05c77: OUTPUT«｢foobar｣␤ 0 => ｢bar｣␤»
jnthn timotimo: If you git blame the line that added it, you'll see a commit message describing the bug it fixed
ZoffixWin tony-o, I guess... the above .gist is what I'd want it to output like with the proposed option enabled. I think the same applies to Pair objects too
jnthn It was in the crazy run-up-to-Christmas bugfixing, which is a bit of a blur :)
ZoffixWin Or maybe I'm thinking of something else that barfs up a whole ton of methods when Dumped
jnthn goes for sleep :) 21:50

ZoffixWin tony-o, I want to pass :gist so all objects would be dumped with .gist. A name of an object is enough for me, I don't need to see all of its methods. I imagine some folks like the current behaviour, hence I propose an option, not default 22:12

timotimo yeah, and titans doesn't do enough to make up for it
tony-o (when you've time, obviously) 22:24

Xliff 2010
ZoffixWin Yeah, it's dated
Xliff I thought there was a more recent game named that.

ZoffixWin tony-o, hmm... I guess it's my fault for forgetting that in Perl 6 everything is an object... Now, the methods are gone, which is good, but readability of the output also decreased because, well.. an Array and Hash are objects in Perl 6: gist.github.com/zoffixznet/b3db53a...6c3d397f39

ZoffixWin You get all your basic structures like normal and objects just named. No giant lists of methods or guts.
Not sure if that's even possible in Perl 6 though (unless you check against all of the built in types or something)
timotimo you'll still need a build submethod to grab the s named parameter passed to bless and put it into the private attribute

right…

timotimo and on top of that, it won't be a named argument at all, it'll be a Pair in a positional argument

timotimo for named arguments, all the sigils are dropped for you

grondilu wth
teatime timotimo: inside methods, when do you use $.a and when $!a
or anyone; sorry :)
timotimo depends on whether you wish derived classes to be able to change what you get
XliffNap $.a if it is defined as "$.a" and you are reading.
"$!a" otherwise.
timotimo well, yeah, you can write to $!a even if the accessor isn't "rw" 22:47
teatime timotimo: that's interesting... expound?
timotimo $.a is sugar for "self.a"

AlexDaniel m: say $_ eqv .unique given <1 2 3 7 6>
camelia rakudo-moar f05c77: OUTPUT«True␤»
timotimo and accessors are also just methods generated for you by default for $.foo
XliffNap timotimo, yeah. jnthn++ explained that to me.
grondilu I use $!a everywhere even when defined as $.a, caus' it makes things easier if I want to change my mind about it being public.
tony-o timotimo: how would i tell if the method is public? 22:48
timotimo it's public if and only if it doesn't start with a ! 22:49
22:49 tomboy64 left
tony-o does ^methods report private methods? 22:50
i don't think it shows !methods
timotimo probably not, no
but i assume .^private_methods exists 22:51
tony-o ah, DD is only doing .^methods
AlexDaniel psch: it feels like 42 ~~ (42,) should be true according to S03 22:52
psch: unless I'm reading that incorrectly
psch: “The Any entries in the first column indicate a pattern that either doesn't care about the type of the topic” and then it goes “Any Positional lists are comparable $_[] «===» X[]” 22:53
22:53 firstdayonthejob left
AlexDaniel psch: this has no practical value though 22:53
psch: another interesting one is “Positional Regex attempted any/all/cat FAIL, point user to any/all/cat/join for LHS” 22:55
psch: so perhaps $item ~~ list should do the same thing – point user to any/all
timotimo that'd be a good solution, i think 22:56
except it's dreadfully slow :)
AlexDaniel timotimo: good solution? Then what about “Any Hash hash contains object X{$_}:exists” 22:57
according to that we can similarly have $item ~~ list with the same semantics
timotimo *shrug*, language design of smartmatch is a topic i'm not willing to dabble in :) 23:00
23:01 tomboy64 joined, wamba left
teatime paste.debian.net/plain/440883 ← ok, this works, and does what I want. am I still doing anything wrong? :) 23:06
timotimo you could write o => $o as :$o instead 23:07
and you could give $o in the method new a ? so it'll allow users to call .new() instead of having to .new(Any) to get the '_' 23:08
teatime .new() seems work 23:09
but I'm assuming it's the default one
