timotimo there we go, that could be right
samcv cool 00:01
timotimo i don't work with this style of writing error handling often 00:02
m: sub dies() { die "dead meat" }; (try dies()) or say "oh no! $!"
camelia rakudo-moar 74d0e3: OUTPUT«oh no! dead meat␤»
timotimo ok, with or it also works
samcv hmm. not sure why False or die $! doesn't work. is that a bug? 00:03
is that what it's supposed to do
00:04 canopus left, bjz joined
samcv or seemed to work for Juerd using an older rakudo 00:04
timotimo there is no $! for False or die $! 00:05
00:05 cpage_ joined
samcv well. true. but 00:05
timotimo i mean, what is it supposed to be set to?
samcv for open or whatever
timotimo and what's supposed to set it?
well, if open dies (instead of failing), it'll go through exception stuff like stack unwind and such
samcv well disregard what i said about False, but with open 'foo' or die $!, it worked for Juerd but not on my rakudo
timotimo so it interacts with try/catch, not with and/or
samcv but orelse works
timotimo juerd's rakudo is really old o_O 00:06
also ... using the REPL is a bad idea
Juerd If it's a bad idea, why is it the default thing that opens?
samcv well open 'foo' orelse die "$!"; doesn't work on my rakudo eeither :\ 00:07
timotimo, i haven't been using REPL, just runing the file normally
00:08 pierre_ joined
timotimo Juerd: because it's not as bad as i make it out to be 00:10
when it works, it works
however, it has many cases in which it causes very strange behavior that you won't be able to reproduce when you run code from a file
samcv ^
timotimo it's bedtime for me now 00:11
adios! :)
samcv bye :)
00:12 canopus joined
samcv well sub dies() { die "dead meat" }; (try dies()) or say "oh no! $!" 00:14
that works too

smls jnthn: That's still all & stuff though. Why would you need to name a $ variable like that?
timotimo why would we forbid $ variables but not method names and sub names? 11:12
smls because things like string interpolation
where strict parsing allows different syntaxes to step on each other's toes as little as possible 11:13
"<i>$foo:</i>" # my use-case 11:14
timotimo html tags in an interpolated string is already a well-known trap; i'd personally recommend anyone who uses string interpolation for html like that to put braces around their variables from the get-go
since $foo</i> is already a trap
smls true
kinda devalues sigils though, if you have to interpolate with {} all the time anyway. 11:15

smls Maybe the strictness should be applied on the string interpolation side. I.e. instead of allowing interpolation with
< $ @ % & > <ident> <postcircumfix>?
only allow:
'$' <simple-ident>
'@' <simple-ident> <bracket-postcircumfix>
'%' <simple-ident> <brace-postcircumfix>

camelia rakudo-moar 71a01e: OUTPUT«-0␤»
lizmat commute to NR.pm meeting& 13:37
iBakeCake ln(0) by 2008 IEEE 754 is −∞; and log₀(23) = ln(23)/ln(0) = ln(23)/−∞ = -0
13:37 lizmat left
iBakeCake So it's not so much an artefact of the log() but rather how we divide by infinity 13:37
[Coke] btw, my pod issue with E<> before is that it doesn't support html entities (and that's what the pod docs had used) - however, it does support unicode names and codepoints... so I'm not going to open a ticket on that, I'm fine with E<171> and E<LEFT DOUBLE ANGLE BRACKET> 13:40
iBakeCake IEEE section 6.1 tells about division by −∞ would give the limit, with the sign of ∞, so -0 is right. and section 7.3 says that ln(0) is −∞ 13:41
If anyone wanted to respond to that person... I don't have a perl6-users subscriptions

[Coke] briandfoy: I would definitely agree adhoc isn't right. (in general, adhoc is "we hadn't gotten around to putting a typed exception here.") 16:40
16:41 KevinYang joined
iBakeCake briandfoy: well, it's thrown here, FWIW: github.com/rakudo/rakudo/blob/nom/...P.nqp#L502 16:41
Actually that's where the message gets created 16:42
briandfoy There's an X::TypeCheck::Parameter in Exception, or is that for something else (like an error specifying a signature)
I saw the message in bootstrap, but it looks like all the other origins of exceptions. Higher up it looks like those get translated into something else.
ObCodeIsNotDocumentation :) 16:43
This matters for the parts of Learning Perl 6 that will talk about subsets and signatures. People really want these cool type features! 16:44
[Coke] might be a good idea to keep a list of RTs that fixing would help with the book. 16:45
iBakeCake suspects that'd be a large list :)
briandfoy I will do that. Or, maybe I can have RT permissions to add a tag?
[Coke] a fake subject tag like [BOOK] ? 16:46
briandfoy I'm happy to be a person who goes through RT and acknowledges, closes, or whatever
[Coke] sure, give me 5s.
briandfoy I wasn't thinking a subject line tag. Doesn't RT have other features for that? 16:47
perigrin it has straight out tags if I recall.
briandfoy maybe something in "depended on by" 16:48

[Coke] (our queue, anyway)
mst [Coke]: well, yeah, what you'd do, normally, is create a ticket to use as a tag
then use the ticket relationships
[Coke] you can have a ticket that has child tickets, that works.
iBakeCake briandfoy: ^ awkward workaround. There's also Subset::Helper that does custome messages
mst very common approach
16:48 KevinYang left
[Coke] right, what mst said. 16:49
my only issue with that is that your ticket count is never accurate, but since we're over 1400, I guess that doesn't matter. :)
mst - any progress on getting your build fixes pushed upstream? we have tickets at each level complaining about spaces in paths, which i thought your presentation said you solved. 16:50

iBakeCake briandfoy: when do you think the book will be ready, BTW? 16:51
mst [Coke]: no, my presentation said I broke it worse 16:53
briandfoy The book will be ready by Christmas.
[Coke] mst: oh, whoops. Ok. then I will start digging back into at least making sure that spaces don't kill anything. Thanks.
briandfoy But O'Reilly wants it before OSCON.
[Coke] briandfoy: we're not falling for THAT old trick.
iBakeCake briandfoy: which Christmas? :D 16:54
mst [Coke]: prompting your hilarious response of "surprise! you're wrong! it was already broken" or so
briandfoy For what it's worth, I'm not going to stop to fix bugs and whatnot. If there's a wart, I'll just note that in the text and move on.
iBakeCake Sounds reasonable.
Though we'd much prefer if you'd stop and fix :D 16:55
mst "As of [release], there's currently [bug], requiring [workaround]" seems completely sane, especially if [bug] contains an RT number so it's easy for readers to look up if they still need to care 16:56
[Coke] mst: ah, yes. My memory, as always, not entirely helpful.
mst but having attempted to write a book and been fairly terrible at it, I'm pretty sure "whatever brian decides" is more likely to be the right answer than my thoughts 16:57
[Coke] someone with a recent star install care to test this: rt.perl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=122839

briandfoy Heh, I was trying to get the recent star installed, but filed a bug on that too. That's still on my to do list for today. 17:00
mst [Coke]: oh, yeah, also, bear in mind star's build system is a fork of the rakudo one with ... about half of the patches since merged down, probably 17:01
I suspect the 'correct' solution will turn out to be 'fix rakudo, nqp, moarvm, then burn the star build system down and redo it'

mst El_Che: my rational mind concurs entirely. my adrenal system, less so. 17:45
nine Is there a writeup of the DBIC thing somehwere? 17:46
nine would love to see lwn.net coverage of Perl issues 17:48
mst what would be the point? I'd rather we got the governance issues resolved and move on, he'd likely attack any attempt at writing it up as partisan, and attracting more drama to the situation would benefit nobody
I mean, I avoided explicitly naming the conflict in question specifically because of that
nine mst: yeah, I guess you're right. Since I've opted out of getting involved in any way so far and rather focused on coding, I should really swallow my curiosity and stick to that decision. 17:50
El_Che mst: the "upside", although not for you, is that the personal damage seem to be limited to 2 participants 17:54

AlexDaniel [Coke]: why not? 18:54
[Coke] because it's an extra file, causes extra work to happen during the build, and the file is in the top level when it shouldn't be. Why not split search.js out into 30 different files? 18:55
dalek c/remove-predefined: 42c2cd7 | coke++ | / (3 files):
inline predefined-search-items
 18:56
AlexDaniel I kinda liked the way these terms were separate from the actual js stuff, but whatever. 18:57
18:57 labster joined
[Coke] puts out github.com/perl6/doc/pull/980 instead of just merging it. 18:58
gfldex it was a kludge before the inlining and it still is a kludge 18:59
it would have made the link rewrite stuff really hard to read so I just dropped those 3 items in there
19:00 domidumont left
[Coke] if we decide to keep it, we should move it into template/thing.js instead of a top level file. 19:00

El_Che moritz: docopt.org/ 20:23
moritz El_Che: the idea of generating code (even if it's just a signature) from docs somehow scares me 20:25
El_Che moritz: it works very well, though 20:26
Go has the same time limited getopt builtin. Very un-UNIX like.
and docopt fixes that and you don't have to keep code and doc in synx 20:27
generating doc from code would be nicer, though 20:28

samcv is there a module i can use to download a page over http/https and then be able to process headers and only download more if the page is text? and then stop the request once i get the information i need out of the body of the html page? 23:02
not downloading the whole thing 23:03
gfldex samcv: you could subclass HTTP::Client github.com/supernovus/perl6-http-client 23:13
samcv how do i stop it once i have the data i need? 23:14
i need to request the page and read the header, and if it's not a text document not to download further. atm i'm using curl's command line program with -i, and then just terminating it if the header shows doc isn't text 23:15
-i will get the whole page but just put the headers first. so is easy to do it in one go, but it would be nicer to do it some other way 23:16
