leont Wekcine back! 19:54
Welcome, typing is difficult!
jnthn Wekcine looks like a Polish word, but I'm pretty sure it ain't one :P 20:03
leont My right hand had an off-by-one, what does this say about Poles! ;-) 20:04
pyrimidi_ leont: that comes from messing in the bioinfo field, where everything starts at 1 :) 20:07
jnthn Sometimes I'm relieved I don't need to try and teach my mouth to do the various sounds in Polish...then I remember Czech has stuff like "strč prst skrz krk". :) 20:10
FROGGS jnthn: I just know krtek :o) (and no, you can't drink that :P) 20:21
jnthn FROGGS: I'll look into it tomorrow, but it appears that the way :D/:U stuff is done on parameters hasn't peeled away the definedness type before populating the nominal_type slot in Parameter, which busts spesh's ability to inline lots of math stuff and probably more. 20:25
FROGGS ahh
I've not touched params at all
but I hoped I get some pointers, or that you patched stuff in that area :o) 20:26
jnthn Prolly one where it'll be easiest for me to fix it and show you the patch rather than make you worry about it :) 20:27
FROGGS I think so too :o) 20:28
leont pyrimidine: actually, there's a chance I'm getting back next year :-) 20:34
pyrimidine leont: cool! 20:43
leont: was originally going to suggest that run away as fast as you can :) 20:44
leont Heh 20:46
Friend of mine wants me back, he wrote this www.nature.com/nbt/journal/v33/n7/f...3240.html, I rather agree with him 20:49
pyrimidine Pjotr? 20:54
I agree with him as well :)
leont Yeah, Pjotr Prins 20:56
leont Perl6's async offers some possibilities do be better at big data, but it'll be difficult in any language 21:01
