Set by moritz on 22 December 2015.
ZoffixLappy stanrifkin_, how do you figure you only got "6.c 2015.12"? How do you get that information? 00:00
sortiz timotimo, MoarVM's default is to use the _included_ dyncall, right? 00:01
stanrifkin_ ZoffixLappy: perl6 -v
ZoffixLappy stanrifkin_, what does it call? Run which perl6 00:02
I'm thinking maybe you have two perls installed
stanrifkin_ ZoffixLappy: it runs my perl6 installation in ~/.rakudobrew/bin/
00:03 cdg left
stanrifkin_ ZoffixLappy: you're right 00:04
ZoffixLappy *shrug*. nuking ~/.rakudobrew and ~/.perl6 is always an option, though I'm unsure why it's not upgrading you
stanrifkin_ ZoffixLappy: i have to use moar-nom - it's always updates that one
geekosaur you can tell it to point to a specific version, iirc 00:05
timotimo sortiz: that's the default, yes
ZoffixLappy You can try running rakudobrew self-upgrade; and then rakudobrew build moar again. Might be some bug in your older rakudobrew, but I'm really unsure
stanrifkin_ ZoffixLappy: it seems to work now - i didn't realize to use moar-nom 00:06
ZoffixLappy isn't sure what you're talking about
geekosaur is thinking run "rakudobrew current" to check what it currently thinks it's doing and "rakudobrew rehash" to make it repoint things to currently installed 00:07
possibly "rakudobrew switch moar" if it's currently defaulting to something else 00:08
stanrifkin_ yes. i switch to moar-nom and have now the current version
teatime is uniprops no longer a thing? 00:09
timotimo uniprop*s*? 00:13
teatime yes, there are lots of references around to a uniprops hash
S15 is an example
AlexDaniel hash? :o
timotimo oh, huh 00:14
well, the information is there in our database, but we can't quite query it
00:18 sufrostico left 00:22 hobbified is now known as hobbs, hobbs left, hobbs joined 00:24 Actualeyes joined
stanrifkin_ i asked some time ago. do you prefer .pl6 or simply .p6 filename suffix? 00:32
ZoffixLappy .p6 for me 00:33
stanrifkin_ so there is no general consent yet? i just come across the tutorial 00:36
and they use .pl6
timotimo i like .p6
just because i'ven't been a perl programmer before i encountered the six
stanrifkin_ i like .p6 more too 00:37
ZoffixLappy is a 10-year P5 veteran 00:38
Xliff is a P5 veteran, also. 00:39
stanrifkin_ "veteran" like you come home from war :) 00:40
geekosaur works on a tangled C codebase for pay. some wars never end >.> 00:42
ZoffixLappy stanrifkin_, 'veteran' has multiple meanings, one of which is "a person who has had long service or experience in an occupation, office, or the like" 00:44
teatime are modules supposed to be .pm6 ? 00:49
stanrifkin_ teatime: seems to be .pm 00:51
ZoffixLappy That's what I use. I'm unsure if they're "supposed to be"
I'd argue against .pm because that's what P5 uses.
stanrifkin_ teatime: the own perl6 source uses .pm - so i thought 00:52
teatime decides on .pm6 for modules, .p6 or no extension for scripts. for now.
.p6 looks strange and futuristic. like P6. 00:53
ZoffixLappy stanrifkin_, where? I see only .pm6 in github.com/rakudo/rakudo/tree/nom/lib
00:55 sue joined
stanrifkin_ ZoffixLappy: github.com/rakudo/rakudo/tree/nom/src/core 00:56
ZoffixLappy stanrifkin_, ah. Well, those are types, not modules :)
stanrifkin_ ZoffixLappy: ok 00:58
01:00 lizmat joined
ZoffixLappy BTW, I still didn't get an answer for question I asked this noon: irclog.perlgeek.de/perl6/2016-04-14#i_12338595 01:01
Is the entire spectest supposed to be passing? 01:02

sortiz Do you do 'make install' before 'make spectest', last time I check, seems to be an issue about the need to 'make install' first. 01:13
ZoffixLappy diakopter, are they the t/spec/S06-advanced/wrap.t?
ZoffixLappy didn't run make install... tries
diakopter no
'course, I was testing a branch of moarvm; I need to test the master branch 01:14
sortiz t/spec/S06-advanced/wrap.rakudo.moar .......................... ok 01:19
01:27 sue left 01:30 vendethiel joined
sortiz ZoffixLappy, In your gist seems that you are trying the unprocessed *.t, that have a few '#?rakudo todo' 01:32
ZoffixLappy Oh. 01:34
sortiz you should try the post-processed *.rakudo.moar files
ZoffixLappy Ah
sortiz Btw: All tests successful. Files=1092, Tests=51391, 838 wallclock secs ( 4.56 usr 0.81 sys + 608.21 cusr 41.04 csys = 654.62 CPU) Result: PASS 01:35
ZoffixLappy I'm running `make spectest` (still running), and yet "t/spec/S06-advanced/wrap.rakudo.moar .......................... Dubious, test returned 1 (wstat 256, 0x100) Failed 1/85 subtests " 01:36
That's on nom from yesterday, before my patch
sortiz This is Rakudo version 2016.03-118-g4f3f1c8 built on MoarVM version 2016.03-108-gca1a21a 01:37
i.e. nom latest 01:38
ZoffixLappy (before my unmerged patch)... the advanced/wrap tests fail for me and adding my seemingly unrelated patch adds another failure for some reason :/ 01:39
Oh. Two more failures in t/spec/S32-io/IO-Socket-Async.t :/

Herby_ i'm hosing that up
if I have a path like 'c:\tv\show\episodeName', how do I regex the episodeName?
trying to list contents of a folder and grab just the file name 03:03
ZoffixLappy Herby_, perhaps one of the methods in IO::Spec::Win32 ? 03:06

geekosaur Herby_, yes 03:10
Herby_ one more question: if my path structure was 'c:\tv\show\season n\episodeName' 03:11
geekosaur my paranoia kinda prefers
m: 'c:\tv\show\episodeName' ~~ / .+ \\ ( <-[ \\ ]>+ ) / and say ~$0;
camelia rakudo-moar 4f3f1c: OUTPUT«episodeName␤»
Herby_ and I wanted to grab the season and the episode

camelia rakudo-moar 4f3f1c: OUTPUT«season 2episodeName␤»
geekosaur m: 'c:\tv\show\episodeName' ~~ / .+ \\ (season \d+) \\ ( <-[ \\ ]>+ ) / and say "$1, $0";

geekosaur whoops 03:13
m: 'c:\tv\show\season 3\episodeName' ~~ / .+ \\ (season \d+) \\ ( <-[ \\ ]>+ ) / and say "$1, $0";
camelia ( no output )

camelia rakudo-moar 4f3f1c: OUTPUT«season 2 episodeName␤»
03:14 ZoffixLappy left
Herby_ geekosaur: why do you like the "( <-[ \\ ]>+ )" more? 03:15
my regex is weak, and really weak in p6
geekosaur because it specifies exactly where I want to allow the \\-s 03:16
I could hope it does the right thing like you are, but certain changes to that regex could surprise you 03:17
Herby_ hmm ok. I'll play around with it but you've given me a headstart, thanks 03:18
geekosaur and if your luck is anything like mine, that surprise will come in the form of a multihour debugging session when you really need the sleep instead >.>
Herby_ i might try and get real fancy and use grammars 03:20
gotta read up on them
well, i guess that would be overkill 03:21
geekosaur for this, likely yes.
Herby_ since I'm just parsing one path at a time
geekosaur that and they're not e.g. recursive 03:22
or complex conditionals 03:23

masak if you could program Perl 6 in the browser instead of JavaScript, would you? 08:10
let's assume no extra cost for the extra layer of indirection -- slightly unrealistic -- except that you would have to compile down to JS or wasm 08:11
RabidGravy maybe, but I didn't really do Perl 5 in the browser when Activestate made a Perl 5 thing for the scripting host for I.E. back in the day ;-) 08:13
08:14 araujo left 08:15 araujo joined, araujo left, araujo joined
masak what I'm especially after is some kind of "one environment" feeling between client and server 08:15
it feels so weird and unnecessary to be writing one client application and one server application
especially as some use cases and code paths effectively straddle the two
08:17 vendethiel left
RabidGravy yeah I think the way Perl 6 is pushes that boundary closer to the client, when I was at $large-bank the other year I felt compelled to make a client event middleware in node.js, I'd probably do that in P6 now 08:18
masak not sure I understand what you want to say with "pushes that boundary closer to the client"... 08:20
08:20 tardisx left, Xliff left
RabidGravy I started Lumberjack::Application because I wanted to test how little javascript I could get away with, the way that e.g. WebSocket lets you do that naturally helps 08:21
masak aha 08:22
wouldn't that... push the boundary closer to the server, though?
CIAvash Yeah, I would like to see Perl 6 -> wasm too
08:23 rurban joined, Possum joined
Woodi would like to see clouds pushed to *home* servers... 08:23
you know, Mrs. H. Clinton way but better :)
08:25 rurban left
RabidGravy yeah, I can foresee something whereby you write server code with some indication that "this is part of the client stuff" and it gets translated to, say, javascript on the way out to the client taking care of all the client/server communication 08:26
masak I see such solutions sometimes. they seem promising but not quite battle-tested yet. 08:27
Woodi VNC, Xserver ? :)
RabidGravy bits of ASP.net went somewhere toward that 08:28
JSP was awful
masak I agree. it would be interesting to dissect *why* JSP was awful. 08:29
like, in the light of current known best practices on the web.
Woodi masak: I think it was ecosystem fault - thing was pushed only for enterprises not plain ppls. and performance... 08:32
so, if Wordpress destroy management trust in PHP technology, what we will use instead ? 08:33
RabidGravy I'd carry on as normal, never used Wordpress 08:34
masak sounds good to me. 08:35
Woodi I just wonder how secure are that mini-httpd-servers from node, Perl, Python, etc...
masak I have used Wordpress, and MediaWiki, but I probably won't much in the future.
RabidGravy well for the most part those things are probably as secure as the most paranoid brain on the development team writing the application can make them :) 08:37
the mini-er the better in general, the fewer default behaviours that the server framework has the less chance of being bitten by some suprise security hole 08:38
08:39 _mg__ joined
RabidGravy of course that plays both ways, if bad programmers implement their own e.g. "serve static content" they can do even worse 08:39
Woodi RabidGravy: but it will be standard-package anyway like: var http = require("http"); in node... and how about performance compared to apache and nginx ?
08:40 _mg_ left, _mg__ is now known as _mg_
Woodi hmm, probably I worry about performance more then security :) 08:40
08:40 pmurias joined
jnthn It seems fairly common to stick nginx or similiar in front of node and friends as a reverse proxy. Seems to perform well enough even with that proxying taking place. :) 08:41
masak Woodi: that sentence is a case where s/then/than/ actually alters meaning
pmurias Perl 6 -> wasm won't be happening any time soon
masak pmurias: I'll take your word for it :/
pmurias for now wasm is just bytecode asm.js
08:43 [particle]1 left 08:44 yurivish_ left, [particle] joined, yurivish joined
pmurias if we really wanted to compile to it we would have to use enscripten and run MoarVM on top of wasm 08:45
08:45 M-matthew left 08:46 tadzik left
pmurias masak: re one environment feeling one big obstacle to that is that the user running part is untrusted 08:46
RabidGravy I think what I am thinking of in the first case is somewhat more high level 08:47
08:47 FireFly left
RabidGravy that is a "thing" whereby you have a template for the UI lke "[% WHENEVER SomeSupply %] ... # draw a table row " and it generates the server part that does all the websocket thing and a client part that connects and does the rendering 08:50
Woodi RabidGravy: so all "state" is moved server side ? and client do rendering only; client can choose prefered theme and things like that ? :) 08:51
08:52 M-matthew joined, M-tadzik joined
RabidGravy more that where the line is drawn is normally unimportant to the programmer 08:53
masak pmurias: oh, that's a good insight. 08:55
pmurias: right, "don't trust user input".
pmurias in the modern web app part it turns into "don't trust the UI" ;) 08:56
masak pmurias: so the tension becomes pretending that the client code is in the same environment while also maintaining input validation from the client.
08:56 M-tadzik is now known as tadzik
masak this could probably be statically checked somehow. 08:56
like, a value that crosses over to the server is automatically "tainted".
RabidGravy that's always been the same since client/server applications started appearing 08:57
pmurias masak: AFAIK there are react.js (and I think for other frameworks too) things that blend the client/server distinction, but instead they support moving the client part to the server and prerendering your webapp 09:00
masak pmurias: Ember's fastboot heads in that direction as well. 09:05
basically using the same code paths on the server to send a pre-rendered page to the client, and then reconstituting the app on the client side. 09:06
Woodi render pixels and send them ;) and VNC additionally resolves sessions problem :) 09:07
masak .oO( any sufficiently advanced tongue-in-cheek is indistinguishable from noise ) 09:09
RabidGravy anyway this is not getting the authentication part of Sofa finished 09:14
just that and making it replace "couchapp" seamlessly and it's good to go ;-)
09:15 ocbtec joined 09:17 vendethiel joined 09:18 ely-se joined
pmurias jnthn: is auto vivication of attributes just an optimalisation or is it important for semantics? 09:23
09:26 lubomir_ joined
jnthn pmurias: Semantics. 09:28
pmurias jnthn: could I just clone the containers at object creation or is possible for the cloning to have some serious sideeffects
jnthn pmurias: Oh...you could do that
pmurias: It's the REPR's job to make sure it returns a fresh container 09:29
pmurias: You could do it at creation time
That was a very data-driven optimization, fwiw.
It's because every routine has a $_, $/, and $!, but 90%+ of routines never used them.
So you get to save 3 memory allocations in a lot of cases :) 09:30
Which made quite a difference :)
pmurias $_, $/, $! are stored in attributes rather then lexicals?
jnthn Oh... 09:31
No, those are lexicals...which also get auto-viv :) 09:32
Oh...
Yeah, there's another semantic detail too

moritz well, science says you're much more scared of stuff you don't know 10:58
but there are areas where I suspect the opposite is true
climate change, nuclear reactor theory, how software is made
jast science doesn't say anything. humans interpreting scientific findings say things. and that's where science gets scary, too. :} 10:59

timotimo is it "as long as people play in the same scale, they can play whatever the F they want to and people will still cheer"? :P 11:15
psch timotimo: pretty much, minus "in the same scale"
jast IMO scales are overrated 11:16
timotimo "as long as people play, people will cheer", OK
jast I'm more of a "screw theory, just write/play it the way you want it to sound" guy
timotimo i'm at the "i don't care what i want it to sound like, i couldn't make it so anyway" stage of learning how to music 11:18
jast you start by stealing a lot
at some point you become so good at stealing that it's indistinguishable from innovating :}
timotimo so first you become good at stealing so you can make new stuff that's like existing stuff, then you get bad at that again and create stuff that's unlike existing stuff 11:20
and then you create new kinds of music!
jast you could see the stealing as a way of kickstarting your own creative abilities with something that's known to "work" 11:22
at first you don't diverge too wildly in experimenting with making changes, and as you get more of a sense of how it all works you become more bold
timotimo OK, because if you steal from /dev/urandom, you're not guaranteed to notice if you're doing it well or not
11:23 kid51 joined
jast you're not guaranteed either way, but starting from something solid allows for smaller iterations that still "work" 11:23
make a small iteration on /dev/urandom and you're still pretty much in random land
11:25 rurban joined
psch it also strongly depends on what exactly "making music" means i think 11:26
timotimo hehe. 11:27
psch like, if one was to learn an instrument, playing things that already exist for a few years is pretty much mandatory
but e.g. digital composition might work better with just picking a song and trying to recreate it in your favorite DAW 11:28
jast yeah, and that will be part awesome and part depressing... because recreating all the details takes very good listening skills and a very good understanding of what the details you hear mean and what they're made up of 11:33
but you have to start somewhere, so might as well focus on the awesome aspects

japhb Is there a way to just make use of the serialization functionality to freeze an object graph to disk, and later load it directly? In other words, is it inextricably entertwined with precompilation, or can I just provide it a graph root, and ask it to serialize object reachable from there that was not previously serialized (i.e., ignoring the setting and loaded modules)? 14:53
jnthn japhb: Well, it static links against the precise CORE.setting and compiler version 14:54
japhb: Because that's where it finds all the types like Int, Str, Hash, etc.
japhb: So you could only use it as cache, as pre-comp is 14:55
japhb Hmmmm, yeah, that's suboptimal for this use case.
jnthn It'd not be a suitable serialization mechanism if things had to survive the network or upgrades. :)
14:55 ptolemarch joined
jnthn (It wasn't ever intended to support that. :)) 14:55
It's not that the serialization ops themselves are tied tightly to precomp, so much as the result gives you all the same properties of precomp :) 14:56
japhb Oh sure, I was just wondering if it could be bent into that shape, since it would be mighty convenient for cases where you just want to load or store some complex object graph as a whole, and don't need e.g. an ORM's ability to load an individual object. 14:57
nodnod
jnthn It's a bit hard to bend it into that kind of shape, I think.
japhb yeah, sounds like
jnthn And probably better to go with some standardized serialization format, generally 14:59
Then something other than Perl 6 could decode the thing 15:00
ZoffixWin "A fictitious reader wrote in to add that Perl 6 is also slow because it doesn't use x86 Real Mode." twitter.com/scrottie/status/720656691436519424
ZoffixWin has no idea what that is, but I'm guessing we can't use it? :)
japhb True. But there aren't a lot of standard serialization formats that are good at serializing a general object *graph*, rather than just a *tree*.
YAML has some functionality for this, IIRC, but I don't recall seeing there's good YAML support available for Perl 6 yet. 15:01
jnthn ZoffixWin: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_mode 15:02
ZoffixWin: I don't know that it's been used for decades... :)

ZoffixWin Ah

geekosaur unless you have uefi boot
japhb nine: EMM386 and HIMEM.SYS
geekosaur well, no, even then it's real mode for long enough to init uefi and switch
japhb jnthn: Yeah, or at least, they used to. Honestly, I haven't checked whether someone finally gave up on that bit of 80's compatibility in the very latest CPUs, but yeah, it was there for at least a couple decades. 15:05
nine Aren't those using protected mode already?
geekosaur they "do" but it's kinda horrid
programs still ran in real mode. when somehting needed to do a protected mode operation, emm386 switched to protected mode, did the thing, then *rebooted* --- after setting the cpu reset vector to a routine that resumed the original rpogram instead of actually rebootingf 15:06
they used an unused bit in the keyboard controller (!) to retain that information across the special reboot 15:07

timotimo :@by?

timotimo that's just returning a list-like from the by code-block

psch timotimo: i... am not sure

ZoffixWin Hm... awhile back, I asked if traits were "roles" and someone said they were roles composed at compile time. Now I'm reading docs.perl6.org/language/functions#Traits and it says they're SUBS run at compile time... And they are defined as subs, so why are they roles or was that incorrect? 18:12
psch ZoffixWin: a trait_mod is a special kind of Routine, that usually applies a role to its LHS 18:13
dalek c: e0a47b9 | (Zoffix Znet)++ | doc/Language/functions.pod:
Fix typo
hoelzro ZoffixWin: that was me! I think that the concept of traits as subs (like trait_mod) is a rakudo-based implementation detail 18:14

psch traits fit with roles insofar that they work similar to what "but" does, but then "but" is a trait_mod itself...
ZoffixWin Alright. 18:17
Woodi jnthn: when object goes out of scope then it is unmarked so can be mass-freed at gc time... so doing noting is nice optimisation :) but maybe doing .free on fresh-out-of-scope objects can be netto gain ? eg. object is probably in cache

neuron I'm looking at NativeCall example on Windows 20:51
The function to create dialog looks like sub MessageBoxA(int32, Str, Str, int32) 20:52
But the first parameter is really a pointer
So I would like to define the function as sub MessageBoxA(HWND, Str, Str, int32)
20:53 kid51 joined
neuron But trying to create such class fails on me: class HWND is repr('int32') { } 20:53
20:53 skids left
neuron Lookup by name of unknown REPR: int32 20:53
hoelzro neuron: you probably want a repr('CPointer')
neuron That was other thing I tried 20:54
But then, NativeCall reports error, it does not like to work with such class.
Calling MessageBoxA(Int, Str, Str, EnumMessageBox) will never work with declared signature (HWND, Str, Str, int32 --> int32) 20:55
nine neuron: If a HWND really is an int32, have a look at rakudo's src/core/natives.pm to see how int32 is defined
neuron ( I should really paste whole code somewhere ) 20:56
20:56 sufrostico joined
neuron Well, on Windows HWND is really a pointer 20:56
20:56 rurban joined
dogbert17 the docs for Cool mentions a method called capitalize which I can't find doing 'say Cool.^methods'. Has it been removed? 20:56
neuron my native int32 is repr('P6int') is Int is nativesize(32) { } 20:57
20:58 MasterDuke joined 20:59 jjido_ left
MasterDuke I'm trying to look at some profiles I generated (about 2-5Mb) in Linux, but Firefox and Chrome both take very long to read them, and go unresponsive when doing so 21:00
any other browsers known to be good? or other suggestions?
neuron Ah, class HWND is repr('CPointer') is Int { }. Tank you nine ! 21:02
RabidGravy you may not actually need the Int there if you change the sub declaration too
neuron RabidGravy : sorry, that's out of my league at the moment, can you be more specific please? 21:05
Which sub?
RabidGravy eh? If you declare "sub MessageBoxA(HWND, Str, Str, int32)" then you don't need the "is Int" 21:06
21:06 riatre_ is now known as riatre 21:07 Amnez777 left 21:08 japhb left
neuron ah, I have tried that as a first thing, but pastebin.com/YNQ4LEGE 21:08
timotimo neuron: github.com/jnthn/zavolaj/blob/mast...pi-call.p6 - this may be interesting to you 21:09
21:10 sufrostico left
neuron timotimo: that's where I started. It is using plain int32, which I'm trying to improve, to create real object HWND 21:10
masak first nex game tonight was a roaring success
we played till the bitter end
(I won)
neuron Just for the sake of exploring the object model in P6
timotimo are you actually allowed to introspect a HWND?
masak I think this is a first -- Perl 6 and rakudo are now stable enough to do this
RabidGravy neuron, I'm not quite sure what you are trying to do there
timotimo also, your new method doesn't create a HWND, it just returns the Int you got passed in in your latest paste 21:11
masak also, but thanks to heroku++ and to pnu++
RabidGravy if you want to pass (HWND *)NULL then just the HWND type object, not a new object
timotimo that's right, the undefined object stands in as the null pointer
RabidGravy so "say MessageBoxA(HWND., "We can haz NCI?", "oh lol", MB_YESNO);"
timotimo which of course doesn't port properly to systems where you can actually dereference the null pointer and store data there
neuron ah, hmm 21:12
timotimo there's a stray dot in rabidgravy's code
neuron let me chew on that for a sec :)

colomon o/ 21:12
21:13 cpage_ joined
neuron Ok, I think I see what's going on. 21:13
RabidGravy timotimo, does rakudo run on any of those systems?
neuron What I wanted to achieve, was to be able to call MessageBoxA(NULL, ....) where the NULL would automagically become HWND class
Maybe that's silly thing to do though 21:14
21:14 japhb joined
neuron I thought I would create HWND class, which would have new(int32) constructor, so P6 could eventually figure out what I meant 21:14
RabidGravy no, the API doesn't work like that 21:16
timotimo RabidGravy: i don't even know which systems have that. i think solaris perhaps?
colomon any opinions on the current best module to use to read JSON? I’m running into JSON::Tiny performance issues again.
RabidGravy or possibly some microcontroller or some such
neuron tried to compile P6 on Solaris 12 today but failed miserably
RabidGravy neuron, if you pass NULL as the first argument to the MessageBox function in user32 then it means "there is no owner window", it doesn't get filled in 21:17
masak I have a discussion topic for tonight
how much do people on this channel feel like they're benefitting from theory?
RabidGravy typically you would have got an HWND from a function that created a window 21:18
masak as in, on a scale from "all I do every day I learned on the job" to "theory is everything and without it I'd be nothing", where do people feel they fall?
21:19 TEttinger joined
neuron RabidGravy: yes, but i thought I could make it (HWND*)NULL sort of. So that the MessageBoxA would not accept random numbers, only HWND class or NULL. 21:19
hoelzro masak: you mean in general? or as applies to perl6/this channel?
21:19 ptolemarch left, Amnez777 joined
masak hoelzro: I guess I mean in general. 21:20
RabidGravy neuron , right, so the HWND type object in your code IS NULL
a (HWND *)0
masak how much do people feel assisted/propped up by theory?
how important is theory in people's day-to-day activities?
RabidGravy same as the Int or Str or whatever type object is "undef"
timotimo i don't remember what that system was and i can't seem to find anything about it on-line 21:21
sorry about the noise, then
21:21 sufrostico joined
neuron RabidGravy: You are talking about MessageBoxA(HWND, ....) again, right? 21:22
colomon masak: “90+% of what I do every day I learned on the job”.
RabidGravy neuron, yes
masak colomon: could you tell me something about the remaining 10%? I'm curious.
21:23 jjido joined
colomon masak: actually, looking at your comments a bit more there, I think you’re making (or I’m making) an artifical distinction between theory and “on the job”. 21:24
masak fair enough.
colomon Perfectly possible to learn theory on the job.
masak I mean, surely something could be both.
RabidGravy I tend to describe how I work as "having an internal pattern book", I have a feeling for what works well and what doesn't based on practical observation and previous implementations, never recourse to theory knowingly 21:26
colomon In terms of the 10%, I was thinking of things learned in school. I still use a good bit of math, some design ideas picked up in Lisp-based AI classes
probably some other stuff. 21:27
but I did a bunch of reading my first few years on the job — pattern books, C++ programming books, misc. Knuth....
21:29 Emeric1 joined
colomon and seriously tried out a lot of things a later mostly rejected. ;) 21:30
21:31 Emeric left, Emeric1 is now known as Emeric, Emeric left
masak ok, nice to hear 21:33
I feel with my current job I rely on theory *heavily*
I feel that's rather unusual
the trick is finding it among all the practice, though
colomon nice gig if you can get it. :)
masak I feel my relationship with Perl 6 is the same, though 21:34
21:35 tharkun left, tharkun joined
masak it's like... sure, there's a lot of practice even in what I do -- but the bits of it that are meaningful and have staying power all have some degree of theory in them 21:35
maybe this is just my way of saying that I'm an irredeemable pattern matcher, so I stumble on theory everywhere. I dunno.
dalek c: 8e218cf | (Jan-Olof Hendig)++ | doc/Type/Cool.pod:
Added tanh, atanh, cotanh and acosech to the coercion table and removed capitalize from the same
 21:39
RabidGravy y'see I was never particularly taught computer science theory, I was taught *programming* then thought screw this, and went and did a literature degree :) 21:40
masak I'm in the same boat there. I never formally took CS.
I have, however, tried my best to make up for it since. 21:41
particularly by reading up a bunch on parsers and compilers.
hoelzro masak: I want to say if 0 is "all I do every day I learned on the job", and 100 is "theory is everything", I would say...40?
masak oh, interesting. so, a slight majority is from theory? 21:44
no, wait.
masak can't count
a slight majority is from practical experience? :) 21:45
hoelzro yup
masak that's still a lot less than colomon, for some reason. discuss.
hoelzro I really appreciate theory, but most of what I use is from experience
things like how caching affects performance, etc
masak like, you seem to be using four times as much theory as colomon
colomon Well, I’m doing CAD file I/O stuff. If there’s direct theory there, no one ever taught me. 21:46
and the broader software organization stuff i mostly rely on guts, not theory. :) 21:47
masak someone on the #python channel today asked me about an interview question. it was basically "given an input such as `x ** 3 + 2 * x ** -2` (of arbitrary polynomials over x), find its derivative". I explained to them how to do this with parsing/ASTs/traversal/calculus 21:48
21:49 jjido left
masak someone pointed out that my AST was overpowered for the task, since something like (coefficient, power) would be enough for each term in this case 21:49
which is fair enough.
21:49 vendethiel joined
masak but basically, my ability to solve this problem -- artificial as it is -- is all due to me knowing about parsers and AST traversal (and calculus) 21:50
when I see the problem, I see strangelyconsistent.org/blog/its-ju...tree-silly 21:51
21:57 neuron left
colomon don’t be silly, it’s a hash. ;) 21:58
masak ;)
colomon whereas when reading, say, a STEP file, you could do a formal parser, but that would be overkill 22:01
22:01 perlpilot left
colomon so you just hack something out 22:02
RabidGravy if in doubt hack it out 22:03
hoelzro masak: maybe I overestimated, but I think about things like time complexity and data structures a lot 22:04
probably more than I need to =P
[Coke] waves from the highway. 22:05
RabidGravy don't IRC and drive

masak .oO( don't unicycle and privmsg ) 22:18
22:18 rurban1 joined 22:20 Sgeo_ joined
masak oh, and I'm all in the "hack it out" school too 22:20
but it's like when I do that, I do it against a backdrop of "I'm going to come back to this if there's a need" and "this may count as tech debt if X or Y happens"
22:21 rurban left
masak in fact, I'd say TDD has helped me relax into a managed kind of sloppiness in many cases 22:22
psch irclog.perlgeek.de/perl6/2016-04-15#i_12345969 expresses a lot of how i currently feel about "theory" 22:24
note, that's mostly contextualized by music and its theory, 'cause recently that's most of what i spend my time on 22:25
wrt programming/"code", i've never hardly a particularly strong grasp on theory
although i often wished i had, i never felt obviously stumped by that
that can easily be explained away by "you just don't know how a better theoretical base could help you" 22:26
masak or you're using lots of theory, but don't know it ;)
psch on the other hand, just today i've ran into "i wish i could make this pretty" without knowing established patterns that could make it so
masak: entirely possible, but i theory that's gathered by trial-and-error doesn't feel real to me, for some reason 22:27
as in, if i have a hunch that a bunch of nested loops should be expressed differently because i know that nested loops are "slow", it doesn't feel like theoretical knowledge to me
s/but i theory/but theory/ 22:28
masak talking about theory/practice wrt compilers and VMs is highly relevant for something like rakudo or something like MoarVM
psch is just catching up with the clog
i also find myself agreeing with hoelzro there, around irclog.perlgeek.de/perl6/2016-04-15#i_12346006 22:29
masak because (it's quite clear to us) there's a bunch of theory in there, but there's also a bunch of "no-one has done this before, let's try it this way"
RabidGravy but "theory that's gathered by trial-and-error" is a "pattern book", however that book might be stored 22:30
psch RabidGravy: i agree, but i can't help but feel a difference between a pattern crafted by a sufficiently realistic abstraction and a pattern learned by experience 22:31
(i am not sure how "storage" plays a role there, though...) 22:32
RabidGravy "book"
psch oh, so possible options for storage are "intuitive knowledge" and "papers by leading researchers" 22:33
plus whatever else
22:33 wamba joined
psch yeah, i can see that 22:33
s/intuitive knowledge/heuristics/ # probably
RabidGravy but hopefully the latter have been tried and found to work (and bad ones thrown out) some of the advocates of "design patterns" ten/fifteen years ago lost sight of that and it become an untested abstraction in itself 22:34
22:34 sufrostico left
psch isn't sure how to scope this back to compilers and VMs 22:35
i am definitely lacking in heuristics there :)
...i am also not sure scope can be verbed like that
masak sure it can 22:36
psch on the other hand, that's where i think music is so fascinating
masak we scope things all the time here
psch like, assuming a standard western tuning, you can play whatever you like
and it can probably be explained theoretically
masak yes
we talked about well-tempering the other day, actually 22:37
psch but then, taking a standard western tuning as base already severly limit what you *can* play
+s
so it's not surprise that whatever works, actually works
RabidGravy but then it's bounded sufficiently that it's fairly small
psch i had had the thought of trying to make music the other way around
as in, take white noise, throw billions of high-q notch filters at it, see what works 22:38
RabidGravy then you go into Terry Riley's microtonal stuff
22:40 colomon left
RabidGravy psch, I have a large number of "instruments" who's sole purpose is to make various forms of "noise" (in the reasonable technical sense) and another group of devices which either alter the amplitude or harmonic content over time 22:40
22:40 colomon joined
[Coke] (theory) mostly don't care. 22:41
masak I had a feeling people would fall all over the spectrum on this one. excellent!
psch in general i'd say "i wish i knew more, but it doesn't seem to matter too much either way" 22:42
well, excluding things like maths, obviously :)
[Coke] And I have ... half of a compsci degree. (BS of computer systems engineering)
psch RabidGravy: right, but in the technical sense every percussive instrument is a noise generator 22:49

23:51 cpage_ left
timotimo ah, quadtrees are usually not used for 3d 23:51
japhb timotimo: Only if your 3D happens to be very thin in one dimension (which actually does happen, for e.g. racing games 23:52
timotimo mhm
japhb Colomon: Speaking of theory, which 3D spatial tree you want is a decent theory question that depends a lot on your problem space 23:53
23:54 Amnez777 joined
japhb For example, there are structures that are tree-like but don't strictly partition, such as bounding sphere trees, that work for certain problems quite well 23:54
(I found bounding sphere trees to be one of the more efficient structures back in my Perl 5 graphics engine days, because sphere-to-frustum is a really fast test in perl5, and more complex structures which had better theoretical performance fell prey to per-op overhead) 23:55
timotimo what kind of graphics engine stuff have you made? :) 23:56
japhb timotimo: A few little things -- an OpenGL Doom level viewer, a stress test designed to find the boundary of CPU v. GPU bottlenecks for dynamic languages, etc. 23:58
timotimo oooh
i've recently implemented a super simple particle system in pure perl6, but it doesn't perform well ;(
japhb The craziest was probably one that implemented a graphics engine on top of pTk's 2D primitives. 23:59
timotimo wat :)

timotimo that's Tk? as in TCL/TK? 23:59
