tbrowder hi, question on class construction: if every instance of a class has one attribute having the same value for the same attribute, does raku optimze that somehow so there is only one copy in memory? 12:59
*optimize
13:02 jpn left
moritz the short answer is: probably not 13:07
the long answer is that raku's object model distinguishes between class behavior (controlled by the meta class) and storage management 13:08
for example when doing nativecall integration, it's pretty important that objects are layed out in memory like C structs, so there's a separate NativeCallHOW or so for that 13:09
and I don't think the default storage layout engine has such an optimization, but you could write your own that does
m: class A {}; say A.HOW
camelia Perl6::Metamodel::ClassHOW.new

tbrowder hi, moritz, Merry Christmas. i'm definitely not interested in writing my own. 13:50
i thought i remembered something about a "static" field that was the same for all objects of a class. i know static is not the right term. 13:52
i couldn't find it in the docs
13:54 frost joined
moritz you can just declare it with `my` on the class level 13:55

SmokeMachine it seems another advent calendar post was published together with the current one... 16:33
what should be done? 16:36
Nemokosch more like your post got shadowed
ohh, now it at least shows under raku-advent.blog/2022/ 16:39
SmokeMachine Nemokosch: that's the smallestt problem IMHO... there are 2 posts for the same day...
tellable6 SmokeMachine, I'll pass your message to Nemokosch
Nemokosch previously I could only find it using the "previous post" button from the other post
SmokeMachine that's the biggest problem... we already have a small number of posts... if we post 2 at the same day...
Nemokosch hey, what if we are just rich like that? 😂 16:40
SmokeMachine I'm thinking on trying to reschedule that...
16:40 silug left 16:41 silug joined
Nemokosch on a more serious tone. No idea what happened, no idea how the calendar is handled and no idea whom to notify and how. Perhaps JJ but how? 16:42
A zillionth example how proper communication should be made common practice.
16:43 perlbot left, simcop2387 left
SmokeMachine my post wasn't scheduled, but when I saw that today no post was published (the posts should be scheduled for 00:00, at 07:00 there was no new post), then I published mine, to not open a hole... 16:43
JJ is on vacation...
maybe this one was scheduled for the wrong time... 16:44
nine Or maybe a time zone problem?
16:45 silug left
SmokeMachine nine: yes, maybe... 16:45
16:45 simcop2387 joined
SmokeMachine what to do? 16:45
it seems I have no permission to do anything...
Nemokosch Good for you that you know it at all that JJ is on vacation lol. Not sure how one should figure these things out. 16:46
16:46 silug joined 16:47 perlbot joined
SmokeMachine before I published my post, I sent JJ a message on twitter, he agreed with me that any post would be better than no post and told me he was on vacation. 16:47
Nemokosch That's fair. 16:48
SmokeMachine I was thinking on trying to reschedule that post for tomorrow... but it seems
I was thinking on trying to reschedule that post for tomorrow... but it seems there are other 7 posts scheduled (I can't see what or to when)... 16:49
I don't have permission to see or to change anything... 16:50
Nemokosch does lizmat know something about this maybe? 16:51
SmokeMachine idk... maybe... lizmat ? 16:52
lizmat yes, I can do stuff.. what needs to be done?
Nemokosch otherwise, I'd just say benevolent accidents do happen every now and then, it's not the end of the world to repost the article once we've run out 16:53
lizmat SmokeMachine what needs to be done? Remove yours, or Wim's ? 16:54
16:55 abraxxa joined
SmokeMachine lizmat: I really don't know. I don't want to harm mine nor Wim's 16:55
lizmat ok, I've converted yours to draft now 16:56
SmokeMachine ok, thanks
lizmat the reason: Wim's is in raw HTML, and I didn't see a quick way to see the date
SmokeMachine will mine be published any other time?
or that was it?
lizmat I'm looking at what would be the best solution :-) 16:57
the easiest would be to reschedule it for the 12th
SmokeMachine and sorry for the confusion... I was just trying to help to not let the advent without a post for a day...
lizmat SmokeMachine: is that ok with you ?
SmokeMachine sure 16:58
lizmat ok, then I'll reschedule for the 12th :-)
SmokeMachine again, I'm sorry for that
lizmat no worries... stuff happens :-)
16:59 abraxxa left
lizmat SmokeMachine: if you feel you need to polish your blog, you have a few days to do so :-) 17:00
SmokeMachine next time I'll try to keep my anxiety under control... (I was just trying to help... :( )
thanks... that's a good idea... it is really needed

patrickb melezhik, jdv, whoever is interested: I've just created and uploaded the binary archives for the 2022.12 release to rakudo.org. The MacOS ARM files are not there yet. I need more time setting up MacStadium. I hope to manage to do that in the next few days. 22:54
