00:48 berekuk joined
[Coke] japhb__: you about? 00:53
japhb__ [Coke], yes. Currently servicing three (3) requests, plus four (4) queued.
[Coke] one more: I want to clone rakudo locally, then when I need to test it, fetch updates, and clone a local copy. help on options to git appreciated. 00:57
japhb__ [Coke]: Roger that, give me a sec. 01:02
01:03 jnap left
jnthn [Coke]: cd /path/to/main/repo; git fetch; cd /path/to/workspace; rm -rf the-clone; git clone /path/to/main/repo the-clone # or so 01:03
japhb__++ may be a cuter solution though :) 01:04
[Coke] ah, so you're not using a mirror or a bare copy anywhere in there? 01:06
avuserow [Coke]: you might be interested in git-new-workdir from the contrib directory of git.git: nuclearsquid.com/writings/git-new-workdir/ 01:08
jnthn [Coke]: /path/to/main/repo can be bare
Haven't played with the mirroring stuff 01:09
Though I suspect it is gonna land in one of the $dayjob git courses at some point so I'd better figure it out :)
[Coke] I'll still with regular for now. Danke. 01:10

ok, time or some rest :)

japhb__ [Coke], I created a share directory, cloned parrot, nqp, and rakudo normally under that directory, and then use: gist.github.com/japhb/8309906 01:13
My apologies for slow response ...
01:14 Pleiades` left 01:17 rindolf left 01:20 berekuk joined 01:23 Pleiades` joined
japhb__ [Coke], jnthn: IIRC, the reason perl6-bench does --mirror clones for the main repos had to do with working with multiple branches and detached HEADs. Using normal clones for the main repos didn't work sanely in that case. The (much more careful) clone and update code used in perl6-bench starts here: github.com/japhb/perl6-bench/blob/.../bench#L35 01:30
(That function and the next) 01:31
[Coke] I'll try the simplest thing and see if it works.
japhb__ er, (That function and the next couple especially -- setup, fetch, and extract )
01:34 hoverboard is now known as overflowing[_]
[Coke] I wonder, if I manually put a copy of nqp/moar/parrot/whatever in place, if rakudo's configure.pl is still going to try to do a git pull 01:35
japhb__ It won't try to clone, but ISTR it will fetch and then checkout a particular rev. 01:36
01:42 pmurias left, berekuk left 01:43 berekuk joined
[Coke] working so far. Pugs is a mess, I think I need to kill it. :| 01:47

[Coke] ah, yes. I blame diakopter, then! 01:52
seriously, though, I am even less a haskell hacker than I am the other kinds. it needs some love. 01:53
01:54 berekuk left
[Coke] any particular reason that we check things out in "nqp,parrot", but "nqp,nqp/MoarVM" ? 01:54
japhb__ hugme: hug Pugs
hugme hugs Pugs
01:55 berekuk joined, Vlavv__ left
[Coke] japhb__: only problem seems to be trying to clone and checkout a branch. 01:57

02:23 Timbus joined
japhb__ [Coke], I suspect that eventually you'll end up converging on the way that perl6-bench does it, because that was pretty much arrived at via painful debugging ... but I completely understand not wanting to jump from zero to there. 02:26
[Coke] not sure if you're also doing this, but I rebuild from scratch every day and don't install outside the build dir. 02:27
02:28 berekuk left 02:29 berekuk joined
[Coke] huh. rakudo.jvm checks out a tag instead of leaving nqp at master. 02:30
02:30 jnap joined
japhb [Coke]: Same here (rebuild from scratch and don't install outside build dir). The latter is part of why the update-rakudo is somewhat baroque -- it finds the current nom HEAD, locally clones a separate copy of Rakudo for each backend into rakudo-<git revision>, then clones the dependencies in each of them, builds them, bootstraps panda and some basic modules into them, and then finally if all went well swizzles rakudo-parrot and rakudo-jvm symlinks -- which all m 02:39

V_S_C @tadzik today I tried starting with rakudo-star-2013.09.tar.gz 10:11
As the stack trace was too long for command prompt 10:12
tadzik did it make a difference?
uh
V_S_C I tried reinstalling panda
tadzik well, Rakudo Star should have panda included 10:13
V_S_C & got the same stack trace as yesterday with similar numbers at the end of lines
tadzik no need to install it again
10:13 berekuk left
V_S_C yes it did 10:13
tadzik I've never seen an error like you showed yesterday, I've no idea where it might come from
10:14 berekuk joined
V_S_C Is there some link outlining manual modules usage 10:14
tadzik you can install them with ufo 10:15
ufo should be bundled with rakudo star as well
V_S_C Maybe I can share my toolchain details so rakudo team might know
I'm using ActiveState Perl 64 bit on Windows 2008R2 10:16

tadzik I've absolutely zero experience with windows, sorry
but I know at least 3 people in here who might know something :)
V_S_C thats alrite 10:18
cause I learnt scripting on bash but the resources I got are MS
& its one more reason I'm interested in PERL 10:19
I dont know anything about PowerShell :)
I tried using rakudo * pre-built binary 10:20
but it didnt have ICU 10:21
so panda install FastCGI said no ICU installed
thats why I built it on my own
I know some C++ 10:22

masak notjack: mst tends to give "state of the velociraptor" talks on YAPCs. 15:42
mst++, I mean.
15:43 FROGGS joined
masak notjack: at least part of the reason for him doing so is filling in the visionary/guiding-light vacuum left as Larry started focusing more on Perl 6 than Perl 5. 15:43
FROGGS: irclog.perlgeek.de/perl6/2014-01-08#i_8091728

that is why I asked (in #moarvm) how I am supposed to handle that 15:45

masak I missed that. 15:46
FROGGS jnthn said it would be okay for nqp to just make the test pass, but not for roast
so, that thing is not whitespace anymore but has zero width
notjack picking a velociraptor as a colophon is a positive indicator that he's crazy enough to do the job
FROGGS see www.unicode.org/L2/L2013/13004-vowe...change.pdf
benabik
.oO( colomon's a velociraptor? ... oh, coloPHon )
 15:47
[Coke] for roast, I think the right answer is to either: 15:48
1) make the tests work for -any- version of unicode implementation in the wild might use, as long as they're "real unicode"
2) conditionalize the tests based on which version of unicode a given implementation is providing. 15:49

arnsholt Hmm. The Catalan numbers grow O(n!), don't they? 16:50
And I guess n^(n-2) is O(n^n), but what is the relation of that to O(n!)? 16:55
masak: You happen to know this off-hand?
16:56 berekuk left
masak hm. 16:56
feels like n^n would win, but I'm not sure. 16:57
arnsholt Yeah, I'm not sure either
Doesn't matter though
Both of them are bad enuogh that I can say that enumerating that many options is intractable =) 16:58
benabik I think 2^n < n! < n^n
masak well, now you've made me interested :)
what benabik said.
& 16:59
16:59 Piers_ is now known as pdcawley
arnsholt Well, the Catalan numbers I get as the number of possible parse trees for a sentence when using a CFG 16:59
benabik 2! = 2, 2^2 = 4. n! = n (n-1)!, n^n = n (n-1)^n = n (n-1) (n-1)^(n-1) 17:00
arnsholt n^(n-2) is the number of parses using a different notion of syntax, where the words are nodes and the parse is a directed tree over the nodes
Right, right. So n^n grows faster 17:01
notjack n^n grows faster than n! and 2^n because n^n ~~ n*n*n*n ... and n! ~~ n*(n-1)*(n-2)... 2^n ~~ 2*2*2*2 17:16

moritz but parameters are allowed? 17:38
$N ** $N / ([+] .. $N)
notjack parameters are just bound varialbes

notjack perl won't give me half a chance :(
masak if I'm allowed to use $_, I can write it in point-free.
notjack you just did, didn't you? 17:44
or rather moritz++ did
masak oh, yes.
moritz++
masak fades out again
notjack I was thinking more along the lines of a fork in J, a-la ^~ % !
moritz doesn't J 17:46
notjack www.jsoftware.com/zippy.gif 17:47
^~ means n^n (in general, infix_operator~ x means x infix_operator x) 17:48
moritz :-)
notjack the fork then means (^~ x) % (! x)
except you don't need the x....
moritz that kinda appeals to me 17:49
17:50 mcglk left
notjack I'm sure it can be done rather simply with a grammar 17:50
J's parser table only contains 9 rules and 2 exceptions
I've made the attempt a couple times over the years as p6 has matured 17:51
but never made much progress
How's p6's current performance over arrays?
moritz rakudo's: not good 17:52
niecza's is much better

timotimo playing with nqp-level arrays should be much faster, though, so if you implement your J compiler in nqp, maye it'll have acceptable speed 17:52
well, the compiler doesn't have to be in nqp, but the runtime could. or directly in QAST
notjack s/compiler/interpreter/ 17:53
17:53 berekuk joined
moritz yes, NQP is much faster 17:53
notjack I think it'd be sig. work to get acceptable performance, because I'd have to reimplement arrays
timotimo oh? 17:54
is nqp::list not good for your purposes?
notjack J's fundamental datatype is [number_of_dimensions,[array of dimension lengths],[ravel of value array]]
timotimo a ravel is a flattened array?
notjack i.e. it's rectilinear/orthotopic
timotimo i don't know either of those words :D 17:55
notjack J doesn't do the sub-array or ragged-array thing
uh, rectangular... but more so
yes, a ravel is a flattened array
timotimo in my imagination, something that's more so than a rectangle is a square :\
notjack haha
it's an N-dimensional rectangle 17:56
timotimo ah
so a line, rectangle, block, ...
notjack sub-lists must all have the same length
as must their sub-lists
yes
timotimo what's the english mathematical term for the block shape again?
notjack prism?
timotimo hm, not quite what i thought of
grondilu parallelipiped
timotimo unless you limit it to "a prism of a rectangle" 17:57
notjack I thought that was a sleeping walrus...
timotimo grondilu: that doesn't have to have 90 degree angles in the corners, does it?
i thought the parallelpiped is the 3d version of a parallelogram
grondilu timotimo: oops indeed
timotimo :)
notjack orthotope
adjective: orthotopic
timotimo ah, so that's exactly the thing you said before 17:58
timotimo only had german math class
notjack yes; I thought you meant specifically 3D
(line, rectangle, 3d-prism-block-thing, 4d-thing)
timotimo ah!

dalek kudo/moar-support: 9333da3 | jnthn++ | src/core/GatherIter.pm:
Make gather properly lazy, using continuations.

This eliminates the cheating implementation we've used so far.		 20:40
[Coke] nice. 20:43
From reading that it looks like the fix was "do stuff in nqp". :) 20:44
dalek p: 624dae2 | jnthn++ | t/moar/01-continuations.t:
Todo two continuation tests on Moar.

Would be good to look into them at some point, but they don't cover things that Rakudo depends on for gather/take.		 20:45
jnthn [Coke]: Well, it was also "implement continuations in Moar" :)
Which is what I've worked on last night / today.

FROGGS sure sure
jnthn That's the first thing I'll work on once we get spectest in shape. :)
moritz masak: if you want to patch rename, it's in this distribution: metacpan.org/pod/release/RMBARKER/.../rename.PL
raydiak I was wondering what was making the new Pray preview I'm working on so slow...lo and behold, it's not the string concat on JVM, but the time required to run the loop itself
(even if it's empty) 20:59
FROGGS I hope nobody thinks that this is The High Performance Build of MoarVM (TM)

is there a theoretical improvement we can make to startup time?

I'd imagine there's things we can do, but I'd need to go profiling to know where the big costs are. 21:37

nwc10 jnthn: why isn't it surprising that Moar is slower than Parrot for calculating Pi? It's not obvious to me. 22:02
masak Parrot has been calculating pi for years :) 22:03
jnthn nwc10: Every signature bind goes through a torturous slow path at the moment. 22:04
itz 1. make it work 2. make it work fast I suppose
jnthn nwc10: Since the sig binder is used for everything, and on MoarVM it was only really sane to write it in NQP
nwc10: So basically, we're interpreting a hot-path primitive doing lots of work, even for the simple cases. 22:05
masak (with no JIT)
jnthn nwc10: I suspect we'd be a couple of weeks behind where we are now if I'd not gone this "get stuff done first" route... 22:06
*done
nwc10 OK. Thanks. That was a much more comprehensive answer than I expected
jnthn Anyway, it's the first thing I'll tend to once we're in the 99% spectest range.
nwc10 and I agree
jnthn Also, MoarVM itself has had relatively little profiling. :) 22:07
jnthn is looking forward to the performance work, but would much rather do it with spectest looking good, to find mistakes :) 22:08
masak jnthn++ # GTD-first development
nwc10 I think you're right to concentrace on getting the spectest sane first
so that others can work on Star
while you work on speed
or curry and Imperial stout, or whatever is important.
nwc10 assumes that creating the Imperial Stout is actually outsourced. 22:09
jnthn Yes, I'm hopeful that things like Panda, sockets, etc. will be picked up by others.
