lilstevey Hello #perl6 00:17
diakopter Hello lilstevey
Juerd_ phenny: tell TimToady Could you provide (old or fresh) citations for the three [citation needed]s at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perl_6? 00:20
phenny Juerd_: I'll pass that on when TimToady is around.
lilstevey I've come seeking knowledge. I'm trying to dynamically attach a method to a class, and, cheekly hoping someone could give me a pointer towards any resources?
Juerd_ Interesting info in that wikipedia article. 00:21
Pugs will be used for bootstrapping? Oh?
Maybe I should add a few [citation needed]s myself :D
masak lilstevey: hello. can you be more specific? is it something that you cannot solve with an eval() inside the class definition? 00:22
diakopter masak: surely you mean "cannot solve withOUT an eval" :P 00:23
masak no, I stand by what I wrote :)
diakopter (eye roll) 00:24
00:25 astrojp left
diakopter Juerd_: imho, all between "It will be used for ..." and "... from within a program or library" can be excised 00:25
(inclusively) 00:26
Juerd_ Agreed and (heh).
masak lilstevey: there is some sense to diakopter's eye roll, of course. jnthn is doing some metaclass work in the ng branch which might do what you need. but it hasn't landed yet in master.
diakopter I'm sure lilstevey would like to know how to do it with eval 00:27
lilstevey masak & diakopter: maybe I should nopaste - my typing and explanation skills seem to limiting my throughput? 00:28
00:29 snarkyboojum left
Juerd_ diakopter: Done. 00:29
masak rakudo: class A { if rand < .5 { eval("method foo() \{ say q[foo] }") } else { eval("method bar() \{ say q[bar] }") } }; A.new.?foo; A.new.?bar
p6eval rakudo 7ce13d: ( no output )
masak locally, that prints sometimes 'foo', sometimes 'bar'. 00:30
arnsholt Juerd_: For the last [citation needed] you can pretty much just point to man perlre I think
masak lilstevey: did that help? if not, feel free to go ahead and nopaste.
diakopter Juerd_: you might mention that Pugs can be found at (and maintenance releases for various new versions of ghc are posted to) hackage.haskell.org/package/Pugs 00:31
Juerd_ arnsholt: What part?
arnsholt Or just cite the regex from the camel book that correctly matches nested parens
Juerd_ diakopter: You know, it is a wiki ;)
masak :)
diakopter wtfomg; I thought it was Juerdpedia :D 00:32
Juerd_ :D
arnsholt Juerd_: Well, there's (?{ code }) and (?{{ code }})
Juerd_ No. I would structure an article about Perl 6 very differently.
arnsholt: Yes, but that only implies what is written in the article to someone familiar with regular regular expressions.
00:33 nickgibbon joined
arnsholt True. But to make sense of the point you really have to know the difference between regular and other languages 00:33
masak arnsholt: what _is_ the difference? 00:34
lilstevey masak: eval - Probably - many thanks - I was hoping for a one liner to inject into something along the lines of pastebin.com/d23b178 but will have a play with eval - should be able to fire something off. 00:35
arnsholt masak: In a word: centre-embedding
masak arnsholt: such as XML nestedness?
arnsholt Yep
masak lilstevey: as I mentioned, jnthn is working on the one-liner solution.
jnthn++, I mean. :) 00:36
arnsholt masak: Essentially regular languages can only have simple repetition, you have no way of "counting" stuff so that they match up like parens
There's lots of nice theory round it if you want it formally, but that's the essence of it 00:37
masak arnsholt: right, now I remember. Feynman explained this to me once (indirectly, through a book).
arnsholt Feynman? Didn't know he talked about that kind of stuff 00:38
masak in a book about computers and computing.
arnsholt Ah, right
masak starting from the fundamentals; very good stuff.
so, regular languages correspond to finite state machines?
arnsholt Exactly!
masak which cannot count stuff because they're finite, and the natural numbers are not. :)
arnsholt Not quite 00:39
A regular language can be infinite. a* for example
masak yes, but then you don't care about the number of repetitions.
SirKay wait, you've met Feynman?
quantumEd every natural number is finite!
masak SirKay: 'indirectly, through a book'.
SirKay oh, lol
arnsholt But you have no way of keeping state. If you say \(*\)* you have no way of saying that the two stars should match the same number of parens
masak quantumEd: :) 00:40
arnsholt What's finite about FSAs is that they have a finite number of states (AFAIK)
masak quantumEd: the set of natural numbers has a cardinality which exceeds each natural number. sorry, I wasn't precise enough. :P
arnsholt But finite state machines are isomorphic to regular languages
masak arnsholt: nodnod. 00:41
lilstevey sorry for being an indiot - is masak plus plus equivalent to "many thanks" - am a bit of an IRC virgin and wouldn't wish to increment kudos I didn't have to give?
arnsholt For context-free languages you have something called push-down automata, which are a fairly intuitive expansion of FSAs
masak arnsholt: FSA + stack, right?
quantumEd lilstevey++
masak @karma lilstevey
lambdabot lilstevey has a karma of 1
arnsholt masak: Pretty much, yeah
masak lilstevey: there you go.
arnsholt As for context-sensitive languages, apparently parsing them is NP-complete =) 00:42
lilstevey many thanks, masak++
masak lilstevey: and there's no need to apologise for questions. :) keep'em coming.
arnsholt: I'm not comfortable enough with NP-completeness to know what that means. 00:43
arnsholt Me neither, TBH
quantumEd masak it just freaks me out that every natural number is finite, but the set of them is infinite
lilstevey Thanks for the pointer - it's gone my bedtime so will disapear off to bed and try to have a play with eval in the week. ( perhaps then more questions to come ) Goodnight #perl6!
masak arnsholt: does it mean that assigning parts of the text to AST nodes might take superpolynomial time?
arnsholt I usually just parse it as "stupid-hard. here be dragons"
masak lilstevey: g'nite.
quantumEd: consider the set of numbers (2, 4, 6). each number is even, but the number of numbers is odd. does that also freak you out? 00:44
00:44 lilstevey left
masak arnsholt: yes, sure. I'm reading up on complexity now, through (Scott Aaronson)++'s online course, so I'm paying a little extra attention when I see stuff like that. 00:45
quantumEd masak, no
masak quantumEd: what's the significant difference? that there's infinity involved?
00:46 colomon left, colomon joined
arnsholt Actually, it turns out context-sensitive grammars are even worse than NP-complete. They're PSPACE (whatever that means) 00:46
quantumEd yeah
arnsholt, what does (whatever that means) mean? 00:47
arnsholt quantumEd: It means that I have no idea what the difference between NP and PSPACE is
masak arnsholt: it means that the memory requirements grow polynomially with the size of the problem.
arnsholt Aha. Thanks
masak arnsholt: see this lecture :) www.scottaaronson.com/democritus/lec6.html 00:48

avar diakopter: Yes that's what it means, free software licenses are generally proprietary 04:30
diakopter: i.e. if you want a similar license you have to write one all over again, you can't make a derived work
diakopter sigh. I don't suppose it can be incorporated by reference 04:37
well, of course it can.
Cyrus: what? 04:38
Cyrus diakopter: It was a joke that spanned #perl and here.
avar diakopter: such licenses usually explicitly prohibit adding terms, so you can't do that either 04:42
diakopter avar: they prohibit adding terms for the redistribution of works released under them, but nothing prohibits making [external] modifications to the license for use in the initial release of one's own software. 04:47
Tene You need to be careful when examining what restrictions apply to the license itself and what apply to software released under the license. 04:48
diakopter Tene: the AL2 doesn't refer to itself (as a document apart from as it's attached to a Package) except [ambiguously, perhaps] in that sentence I quoted. 04:51
so, the definition of "license" can be externally amended/redefined to mean the AL2 document plus the amendments listed in the amendment document itself. 04:52
avar diakopter: There are no "external" terms, "the license" is the terms under which you distribute the software. If you add extra terms in the form of "these terms + GPL" that's counted as being under the license, which you explicitly can't modify 04:53
diakopter avar: no
avar (I'm only familiar with this case with the GPL, but maybe the AL2 is similar)
Are you talking about dropping in the license and adding terms somewhere else "we're under the AL2 but you can only distribute the software on a tuesday" ? 04:54
because that's the impression I got, maybe I'm mistaken
04:56 patspam joined
diakopter avar: what precisely would be wrong with that example? 04:56
well, modified to be: 04:57
avar Because you're distributing a legal document which is at odds with itself 04:59
The first line of AL2 says: "License" shall mean the terms and conditions for use, reproduction, and distribution as defined by Sections 1 through 9 of this document.
04:59 patspam left
avar Anyway, apache probably has a legal mailing list, ask there, I'm not a laywer 05:00

And you may only release redistributions of this software on Tuesdays.] 05:01

avar: where did you get your copy of AL2

05:02 nihiliad left
diakopter avar, oh, you're referring to the Apache License 2 05:02
I was talking about the license that nearly all of the Perl 6 implementations use - the Artistic License 2 05:03
but still, my point holds even if it were the Apache License
Wolfman2000 ...what license is Perl 6 on anyway? Not the implementations, the language. 05:06
diakopter I'm pretty sure the spectests and synopses are protected by the svn.pugscode.org/pugs/LICENSE/Artistic-2 by default... but good point, that probably should be explicit on perlcabal.org/syn/ 05:10
05:16 xomas joined 05:18 xomas is now known as xomas_
carlin Would it be possible to modify the license by reference, so state "This software is released under AL2 sans point ii of section 4c." 05:23
diakopter that's what I'm surmising, yeah 05:27
dj_goku diakopter: I am with you (but I would get a lawyers opinion), that you can change as you see fit, just it won't be the same license and terms.
diakopter yes, the AL2 just says you can't change the *document* 05:28
ArtisticLicense2
mdxi that's because if you could, someone could change the terms of the license and then say "I am totally following the terms of the Artistic License!" 05:29
practically speaking, you can change it
but you can't call it "the Artistic License" anymore
just as specs are generally not open in a "modify this document" sense
because then you don't have a spec at all 05:30
diakopter yeah
well, the Perl Foundation can change it :) 05:31
(unless that clause is externally amended) :)
carlin But you could still release it under AL2 and then lock it down extenrally; "This software is released under AL2, provided you don't redistribute it or modify it" 05:37
diakopter too many "it"s :) 05:38

flip214 Hello again! 08:00
moritz_ good morning
flip214 I've got some fresh questions again ...
I'm trying to define my own String class - for local charset/UTF8 type validation in the compiler 08:01
(if that makes sense in perl ?)
So that I can clearly tag my function "this takes an UTF8 string", and "this gets a local string" 08:02
Now there are some parts where I have to convert - eg. from "Str @ARGV" 08:03
moritz_ @*ARGS iirc
lambdabot Unknown command, try @list
flip214 But simply using a "new" function with appropriate input types doesn't work
rakudo: class T is Str { method new(Str $x) { return bless $x; } }; my T @a= "a", "2"; say @a; 08:04
p6eval rakudo 7ce13d: ( no output )
flip214 is that just NIY?
I get a NULL PMC access in isa()
moritz_ you can't just bless anything, I think
08:04 iblechbot joined
mberends conceptually, UTF-8 should not be a "type" for a string. UTF-8 is a representation. 08:05
moritz_ and the spec provides a utf8 buffer type, which validates :-)
but rakudo NYI it
mberends so UTF8 is a "type" for a buf, which is not a string. 08:06
buf <--> string is tricky, seeing past work by others on the subject 08:07
flip214 So, what should I do? There are some API functions that need UTF8 input, and I have to assume that my commandline parameters are in local charset.
Some persistent data should be stored in local charset (possible, not sure about that yet) (for performance reasons) ...
and some other functions need to be tagged UTF8 08:08
mberends cannot help
flip214 I'd like to keep typechecking to the compiler
moritz_ currently rakudo decodes everything as UTF-8
flip214 Well, maybe Str is the wrong type anyway
moritz_ so @*ARGS contains Str objects, not Buf objects
flip214 and I should just use Buf
moritz_ perlgeek.de/blog-en/perl-6/strings-...ffers.html if you haven't read it yet 08:09
flip214 But again, I'd like to use some different types ...

mathw I have just been very surprised to discover how many of my colleagues and my friends don't know how to write Makefiles 13:51
Are they really all that complicated?
masak to be honest, I only know the very basics.
I know that there be dragons in the whitespace handling.
jnthn I know that my make program has different ideas about whitespace to some other people's. 13:52
mathw jnthn: everyone I've spoken to so far would only use GNU Make anyway, so assume that's not an issue
jnthn mathw: Yeah, in that case it's not an issue.
mathw That's what I thought 13:53
jnthn mathw: It's more an issue for me when I hack makefiles, and then thanks to tab/space hanlding differences between gnu make and nmake I break the build.
mathw But then I'm from the perspective of having learned how to write Makefiles years ago
jnthn I'm not a makefile wizzard by any means, but I don't find the basic concept hard.
mathw It seems most of my colleagues do...
jnthn I think I understood prolog as "like doing all your programming using makefiles" at one point. ;-) 13:54
masak heh. that disregards backtracking. :) 13:55
mathw Actually that's a pretty good way to think about it
Except Makefiles don't go backwards, as masak said first
Of course, if you don't already grok Makefiles, it doesn't help your Prolog
masak yesterday I started thinking about backtracking keywords in a programming language, and how they would look. 13:56
mathw They look like this: !
Everything else is implicit :P
masak I think i'd better explain using a nopaste. hold on. :)
13:59 cognominal left
moritz_ masak: I've seen some backtracking keywords in lisp-like languages 13:59
masak moritz_: cool. which ones? 14:00
mathw Does anybody know if Windows has anything akin to popen()? 14:01
mberends the only problem I had with Makefiles so far was that 'man make' is woefully inadequate. The solution is to keep a copy of www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/ handy.

colomon: Did we ever decide where these posts would go? 14:08
colomon PerlJam: Not here. Don't know what discussion there has been on the wave.
PerlJam colomon: none really :)
I wonder if we can get perl6advent.blogspot.com or something and go from there. 14:09
colomon PerlJam: I just figured we'd pick a blog that was easy to edit for the "table of contents" post, and everything else could go wherever.
PerlJam: oooo, interesting idea!
PerlJam I've got a meeting at work shortly and some other tasks to do this morning, but if you want to try to do that, that would be excellent. 14:10

PerlJam Otherwise, I won't be too available for the next 2-3 hours.

masak colomon, PerlJam: how are you planning to assign the days to different people? 14:11
colomon I've only got about 30 minutes, then I've got to get cleaned up to take the boy to storytime at the library.
PerlJam masak: volunteer for a day and just do it! :)
masak PerlJam: for 24 days?
PerlJam: how many volunteers?
PerlJam I dunno. As many as we can cajole on #perl6 :) 14:12
colomon I think we have four or five at the moment?
masak that sounds good.
jnthn colomon: I'll volunteer to write one. I may need minor cajoling. :-) 14:13
PerlJam meeting time for me.
mberends what does a volunteer have to do?
colomon jnthn: write one or I'll keep inserting bugs into ng!
masak I like loose organizations in general, but I fear with too little structure, the advent calendar might come to a halt at day 11 or some such. :/
maybe a schedule where people could pick particular days, say on a wiki somewhere, would help counter that. 14:14

colomon Looks like I've found the page to add contributors to the blog. May have to have a wordpress.com account to be one? 14:19

moritz_ perlpilot at gmail or so
colomon github gives it as duff at pobox. 14:25
masak colomon: it was an idea I had once, to plod through all the Knuth exercises. 14:26
moritz_ that's sounds better :-)
colomon masak: It's a brilliant and brave idea.
masak colomon: one might say that Perl 6 has nowadays occupied that slot in my life, though.
colomon: I might take it up again some time.
colomon masak: understood.
moritz_ *all* the knuth excercises? 14:27
that was... ambitious :-)
masak I had that vice already then. :) 14:28
colomon masak: In theory I add you and PerlJam as contributors. though it's not actually showing up on the users page. You may have to do something with the invite?
masak ok. 14:29
moritz_ if you want a guest post from me on one of my favourite topics, I might give it a shot

jnthn: what e-mail address should I use for you?
jnthn [email@hidden.address] 14:34

masak that way, the problem of finding a volunteer each day would not be as urgent.

masak yes. PM that to colomon. :)
Wolfman2000 Dec 1st is tomorrow, right? 15:05
Coke Wolfman2000: yes
Wolfman2000 and what do we talk about?
masak Wolfman2000: consider the outer world, which will receive Perl 6 as 24 gifts during December. 15:06
Wolfman2000: write about one such gift.
Wolfman2000 ...so we have to plan our gift giving so we don't overlap.
masak nah. :)
just write stuff, and let the anarchy sort it out. :)
Wolfman2000 ...despite my homework, I think I can claim the 1st of December easily. 15:07
masak OTOH, if you want to claim a topic, feel free to write as much in the schedule.
Wolfman2000 ah
masak Wolfman2000++
Wolfman2000 yeah, topic claiming is a good idea...
Dec 1: multi subs with constraints
masak maybe I should do the same, then.
that's a good topic.
Wolfman2000 ...though since my topic deals with types...I guess I"ll just say "someone else will explain the gift of types" 15:08
masak Wolfman2000: another tip is to nopaste a draft here before you post, so that we can all praise/comment/improve.
Wolfman2000 or I can keep mine generic
masak: point
masak Wolfman2000: don't worry too much about introducing things in the right order.
Wolfman2000 alright, what's another good day...well, seems like you have all of the Wednesdays
masak it's not a course book.
yes, for some reason I took the Wednesdays. :)
it doesn't matter to me though, so feel free to move me over if you want one. 15:09
Wolfman2000 Wednesdays are generally bad for me
...I may as well stick to Tuesdays then
I just have to come up with 3 more topics
masak no rush. 15:10
Wolfman2000 let's see...grammar tutorial, since I've done minor work in that.
masak that's way too big a topic to claim. :)
Wolfman2000 ...you're right
I can do a small part, such as token/role { stuff } and then using the token/role
masak that sounds good. 15:11
Wolfman2000 ...my caesar cipher program can come in handy: letter rotating with comb and map 15:12
masak that sounds nice.
maybe we could agree on some small gimmick, such as "On December 1, my Perl 6 gift is: multi subs". 15:13
Wolfman2000 which leaves the final topic...up in the air for now
"(Hello in a foreign language), I am (name), and on December (date), my Perl 6 gift is: (gift)" 15:14
jnthn
.oO( On the first day of Christmas, my Perl 6 brought to me, dispatch with a multi )

frettled Good news, everyone! It turns out that Planet Perl Six can be configured to grab posts from a blog that contains specific keywords, rather than just shoving out all there is. So it's possible for someone to have a more general-minded blog, yet get their Perl 6 related blog posts at the Perl 6 planet. Woohoo. 15:34
Of course, when I asked, the answer was only «Yes, it's possible», nothing more, but hey, it was a technically correct answer. 15:35

TimToady seems to me it oughta look like a space :)
