audreyt goes to run a series of interlocking errands just to get into U.S... 01:30
(which is a notoriously time-consuming process around here)
clkao believe me, it's much better than the french embassy 01:31
davidfetter getting into the u.s. is a giant PITA :(
audreyt clkao: I thought french is part of schengen
clkao good thing is you get 5-year visa, rather than stupid 2-month one after spending 5 hours
davidfetter this is why PostgreSQL's 10th anniversary thing in July will be in Tronno
clkao yes, schengen visa is horrible in london. but alright in taiwan
audreyt clkao: I'm not sure US still issue multientry 5year anymore for tourists
davidfetter :( 01:32
clkao audreyt: they do. i just got one last week
audreyt will find out tomorrow
oh. that's good
davidfetter where in the u.s. will you be?
clkao audreyt: sent a mail to you 'bout ref
audreyt davidfetter: redmond->chicago->boston->portland
clkao: got it. will proc tonight
clkao thank you
obra audreyt: that reminds me i should get bos->pdx tix 01:33
davidfetter hrm. portland. when?
audreyt davidfetter: oscon
obra: cool. I plan to take the same plane as you
davidfetter is still unsure whether he can get to oscon, as the pg anniversary is 8-9 july 01:34
obra audreyt: oh. good to know :)
davidfetter audreyt, will you be @ conisli?
audreyt that's yapc::sa? probbly yes
clkao mmmmmmm 01:35
davidfetter cool. i'm hoping i can have enough of pl/parrot done to talk about it there :)
audreyt ooh nice :)
I admit I've been not catching up with any Pg/Mysql progress for months now 01:36
obra pl/parrot?
audreyt <- abducted by the infinitely hackable sqlite
davidfetter sqlite is only finitely hackable compared to postgresql ;)
obra, are you familiar with PostgreSQL?
audreyt well, speaking as someone who doesn't know C...
obra davidfetter: some
audreyt ...sqlite is easier to hack :)
davidfetter i don't know C either 01:37
audreyt wow
and you hack PL/Parrot? :)
davidfetter obra, well, one of the things you can do in PostgreSQL is write functions in lots of different languages
audreyt obra: stored procedure
davidfetter i see my role as organizer :)
audreyt or rather, injected embedded functions
davidfetter right now, there are separate projects for PL/Perl, PL/PHP, PL/Ruby... 01:38
i'd like to get it so there is just one: PL/Parrot, with small (ideally 0) changes for each of the front-end languages
audreyt so essentially the mod_parrot vision 01:39
with a different setting
davidfetter yes :)
audreyt laudable :)
davidfetter and besides, i think it would help larger teams
ppl who write python wouldn't have to fight w/ppl who write perl 01:40
because they'd both have each other's stuff available :)

audreyt TimToady: does these two forms differ? 01:42
f(1, ***) <== @x
f(1) <== @x
or is the latter equiv to this: 01:43
f(1; ***) <== @x
also, how does multipe pipe batches fit?
f(1, ***, 2) <== @x <== @y
does that *** only interpolate @x
and @y goes into another separate pipe batch ?
f(1, @x, 2 ; @y) 01:44
because
f(1, @x, @y, 2)
would mean that *** does a flatten of batches
the spec is a bit unclear about this.

dduncan as a follow-up to my comments of a few days ago about OSCON 2006 plans ... 01:58
for various reasons, I'm now about 90% sure that I will NOT go to OSCON this year ... 01:59
but rather I will try to attend at least one YAPC
that occurs later on
davidfetter dduncan, may i PM ? 02:00
dduncan the question then becomes, with what seems like a half-dozen-plus YAPC events happening each year, which are the best to focus on if I have to be selective, where the most happens and/or most people in attendance ...
davidfetter, IRC pm is fine
if its stuff that shouldn't be said in public
davidfetter fisl 7.0 had > 5500 attendees. dunno how many of those were at YAPC::Brazil, which was part of that 02:02
audreyt dduncan: YAPCNA :) 02:04
dduncan that's possible, but YAPC NA is even earlier than OSCON, so I may not have enough prep time
I suppose the biggest issue is getting cheap flights at the last minute 02:05
you're a lot more experienced with regular world travel, so probably know things ...
will there be a YAPC NA hackathon? 02:06
audreyt yes.
will be great if yo ucan be there
lots of #perl6 people and #parrot people will be there 02:07
yapcchicago.org/wiki/?HackAThon
dduncan in your experience, what's the latest one can book a round trip flight reliably?
audreyt reliably, maybe two weeks before
if you are wiling to pay for business class... pretty much anytime. 02:08
dduncan I just need a ride and don't care for amenities, so whatever's easy to get and inexpensive
also, it may be on the website, but I also have to figure out where to stay ... 02:09
looking at website ... 02:10
okay, I'll try to get to YAPC NA 2006 plus hackathon ... should know more definitely in the next 2 weeks or so 02:14

Given pugs' openness, anyone is of course free to distribute them as they judge fit.

fglock how about making 'token' match at pos by default - regex :ratchet :p { ... } 16:54
does "atbtok" ~~ token{ tok } fails? since the first 't' is not followed by an 'o' and backtracking is disabled 17:00
TimToady fglock: already does assume :p if called as a subrule. 17:03
but a case might be made for doing it always.
fglock I think :p would make it easier to learn/compile, as it it is mostly supposed to be used inside subrules anyway 17:04
TimToady but if you want to use a token directly, why wouldn't you just use //?
fglock isn't // a regex? 17:05
TimToady yes, so you'd have to anchor it explicitly, but that's like to be shorter than token {...} inlined still. 17:06
*likely
I'm not really arguing against you--it's something that just hasn't been decided.
fglock I'm asking because I have to decide whether to fix or to skip a test :) 17:07
TimToady when used as a top-level matcher, there's something to be said for anchoring it on *both* ends.
17:07 FurnaceBoy is now known as CurmudgeonBoy
fglock sure 17:08
17:08 aufrank joined
TimToady that would in some way increase the "meaning" of token/rule vs regex. 17:08
and would probably increase the utility of $input ~~ $pattern. 17:10
for validation of numbers and such.
gaal TimToady: is it okay to rename the 'reduce' builtin to 'fold' and add one for 'scan'? My understanding is that 'reduce' is the general term for them both. 17:11
TimToady I don't like that usage of "scan" at all. 17:12
It's far too overloaded to go with that one specific meaning.
gaal the names ending with 'morphism' are worse
TimToady which has very little to do with normal usage of the word.
besides, there's no "reduction" taking place with it. 17:13
you get the same number of values out.
so I think this is just one of those places where Haskell is cork-brained from a linguistic point of view. 17:14
gaal Okay. I'll try to think of a better name, but I really do think the function should be builtin, since it's easy on the runcore and relatively hard on to express in userland
wolverian .reduce :keep? kind of fights itself semantically
gaal .reduce :but_keep_adding_liquid 17:15
TimToady you want something more like the idea of taking more and more terms in mathematics...
refine maybe
gaal .omgitsalive
wolverian .triangulate? :)
TimToady [\X] 17:16
wolverian that's where I got it from..
TimToady triduce.
gaal [\X] is fine but doesn't accept lambdas, as we said..
wolverian ha! tridunce
gaal well, as you said :)
TimToady traduce
wolverian [\x -> ...] @list
gaal wolverian: syntax error: operators don't permit whitespace 17:17
hmm!
wolverian it's probably a bad idea to emulate the lambda syntax in one specific place...
gaal so maybe this could be made to work with pointy subs after all? :)
TimToady if some initial sequence was unlikely to be used in [...] composers, we could distinguish based on longest token even without the ]
[\X] was not intended to be a lambda, H notwithstanding. 17:18
fglock deltas
TimToady we could possibly go with [->...] and [\->...] though. 17:19
gdickie Perhaps [\ ... ] is an operator?
TimToady at the moment, it's a metaoperaotr.
gaal gdickie: it's already a metaoperator
svnbot6 r10354 | fglock++ | PCR - t/09-ratchet.t - tokens are only tested for :p cases 17:20
TimToady maybe induce
particle_ is [/.] an operator yet? i think it'd fill your screen and logs with useless garbage :) 17:21
gdickie What's the real difference to the language-user between a metaoperator, and a circumfix operator on Code? The latter might allow [\ -> { ... } ] or [\ myfun ] 17:22
TimToady that latter is too much like a [...] composer 17:23
but the "real" difference? hmm. 17:24
a metaoperator is making stricter promises about what is known at compile time, i think.
it has to be based on something that's already completely declared. 17:25
and more to the point, its interface completely known.
if we had something like [-> { $^a mumble 17:26
17:26 CurmudgeonBoy is now known as FurnaceBoy
TimToady [-> $a, $b {...}] 17:26
then we know the interface at that point, which might be good enough.
In the more general case we might just have to assume that the function mentioned takes two arguments, in the absence of type inferencing. 17:27
but even [-> $a, $b {...}] is ambiguous with a list consisting of one pointy sub. 17:28
Juerd TimToady: Do you have an overview that indicates when to use a role, when to use a class?
TimToady so we'd have to special case it.
Juerd TimToady: Something end users can understand :)
TimToady How the heck would I have one of those when I don't understand it myself? :)
gaal how about .radish for a name. It gets asymptotocally closer to a point 17:29
TimToady I'm just a cargo-cult designer. I leave it to others to understand it all...
Juerd TimToady: Err...
TimToady .radish and .reduce are too similar in pronunciation when drunk.
Juerd I kind of hoped you'd understand the matter...
What other languages have roles? 17:30
TimToady none. Smalltalk has traits though.
Juerd Then it's not cargo culting :)
TimToady As with any cargo-culter, I add my own interpretation when I borrow the symbology. :) 17:31
svnbot6 r10355 | fglock++ | PCR - updated benchmark
TimToady maybe .reduce and .preduce 17:32
gaal .produce even? 17:33
because it produces the result (by stages)
TimToady has possibilities.
gaal or was that what the pun was working on?
TimToady produce the next rabbit out of the hat... 17:34
I was thinking the pun, but also the "pre"ness of it, as in "what reduce has internally before it gives you the final result"
gaal .proginate 17:35
TimToady but "pro" can mean "in front", I think, so maybe it works anyway.
Juerd TimToady: But you have no view of what should be a role and what should be a class?
gaal s/i/e/
Juerd That'll be an incredible mess then, the first few years. 17:36
TimToady I like the *duce relationship
Juerd And I won't have anything useful to say in my Perl 6 OO talk :)
17:36 DaGo joined
TimToady roles are for abstractions that don't make a lot of sense to instantiate, such as generics 17:37
that is, to instantiate without more information. 17:38
gaal well, "re-" is back and "pro-" is forward in the ducere etymology
TimToady I think it can be viewed as working in either Latin or English. 17:39
gaal I meant, it's consistent that way too. I'm for (heh) it. 17:40
17:41 bernhard joined
TimToady Juerd: it's already been an incredible mess for the first few years, which is why you should probably be asking Stevan about this and not me. 17:43
gdickie Somebody mentioned mathematical series a while ago; a mathematician would call the result of [\+] the "partial sums" of the operand. So if [ ... ] is reduce, [\ ... ] is partial-reduce or partial-reductions.
gaal fwiw, I thought context dependence was a beautiful solution for [\]. If only say [+] weren't in list context. 17:44
.parduce :)
TimToady I wasn't gonna say it...
aufrank we're golfing now? a par two hole? 17:45
gaal aufrank: K does fold AND scan metaoperators in one character each
TimToady It's no accident that (real) golfers are also called "hackers". 17:46
aufrank gaal: par-deuce
TimToady *cough* APL *cough*
PerlJam good $localtime #perl6 17:47
gaal APL, K and J are all related, aren't they?
TimToady I know J is derived from APL. Don't know about K.
Juerd stevan: Do you have an overview that explains to end users when to use classes, and when to use roles?
TimToady Juerd: or we could always Ask Slashdot. :) 17:48
Juerd God, please, no.
PerlJam are there any languages that support the concept of roles out in the wild? 17:49
aufrank stevan borrowed heavily from scala's traits, as I understand it
gaal K was developed, quoth Wikipedia, by "Arthur Whitney, an influential APL programmer". 17:50
merlyn influential in general, or just about APL?
that's an odd use of "influential"
maybe he was influential *because* he used APL? 17:51
PerlJam Juerd: perhaps there's some "best practices" wrt traits (roles) in the scala docs
gaal maybe he was influential because he developed K :)
PerlJam gaal: so clearly Larry is an influential C programmer :) 17:52
TimToady that's BASIC to you.
gaal Surely he's influenced the way people think about C programming, and he did it with C. 17:54
TimToady so maybe use P; puts you into the APL subset of P6...
though I suppose L should be the next one...
use PL;
swipe 'em both.
gaal L for ladder, that which is discarded etc. 17:55
where's audreyt, she gets my oblique Wittgenstein jokes 17:56
TimToady well, I gotta pretend to go and work. Not being much use right now, I'm afraid, due to incipient grandfatherhood...
gaal I gotta .produce 17:57
happy incipience
aufrank wow, that is the first time I actually parsed pro-duce as the verb "produce" 17:58
in this conversation, that is
PerlJam is the anti-duce
TimToady well, as long as you've invoked her... audreyt: I'll think about *** and pipes in general as I'm driving up to Seattle. There's something declarative I want there, but I'm not sure we've nailed it yet. Trying to figure out how it all desugars.
particle_ driving to seattle?
FurnaceBoy incipient? impending? 17:59
TimToady incipient grandfatherhood, as I said...
or perhapsh excipient...
FurnaceBoy "beginning to happen or develop" ... it's been incipient for a while, then. :)
TimToady perhapsh I should not drink so early in the day.
gaal bon nascence, TimToady
TimToady official due date was yesterday, but nuttin' happened. 18:00

btw, why was [\] invented? [] in list context being a scan too weird? 18:32
TimToady yeah, basically, [X] is deemed to be too useful in list context, and the whole point of calling it "reduce" is that you end up with one thing. 18:33
(or at least something less) 18:34
And while I've often wanted a reduce operator, I can't recall ever wanting a produce operator. Probably just lack of imagination on my part, but still, it's a Data Point. 18:35

PerlJam does [\X] need the huffmanization? 18:36
gaal well, it was a nice unification
@triangulars ::= [\...] ... 18:37
@factorials := [*] 1 ..*
@pidigits := [+] ...
[\] that is
TimToady but it was falling into the Haskell trap of huffmanizing the abstruse 18:38
not to mention the APL trap

TimToady PerlJam: we could certainly live without [\X] but it's awfully "cute", to quote at least two of @Larry... 18:39

aufrank tries to figure out what he missed
ludan hi
gaal I can't argue against that. I just loved the elegance
aufrank: it was in a thread called "Scans"
PerlJam aufrank: well, a synopsis has been quite publicly updated on p6l :) 18:40
TimToady arguably, the [\X] should have been marked as conjectural, but it wasn't, so it isn't. :)
Just like *** and ==> * 18:41
aufrank I remember [+] as reduce
maybe this is the problem: what is \X a standin for? 18:42
PerlJam [\+] for instance, (X is just some operator)
er, binary operator even :)
[\X] does have the nice allusion to Captures that bridges the mental gap to "save intermediate results" 18:43
aufrank ?eval ([+] [1, 2, 3])
TimToady 3, I hope. 18:44
actually, (1,2,3)
hmm. maybe need something about forcing numeric context on a single argument there... 18:45
well, ([+] [1, 2, 3]) + 1 is 4, so maybe not an issue. 18:46
18:47 loud- joined
TimToady on another subject entirely, I was thinking about unifying {...} and ; parsing a bit by saying that ; also may be continued with a , or followed by an immediate postfix. Then you could say 18:48
sort 3,1,2;.say
or sort 3,1,2;\ .say 18:49
not that you'd generally want to write it that way, but it seems like {...} and ; parsing could be more alike than different.
aufrank gaal: I figured it out. I missed triangulate in r9216. I got too distracted by tr/\*/\[,\]/ 18:50
TimToady though it seems by that analogy that say 1,2,3;,4 is the same as 1,2,3,4
and arguably the sort-say should be written sort 3,1,2 ==> say 18:52

wolverian an arrow to a verb is weird.
PerlJam having so many trigraphs in perl seems weird to me, but maybe only because I'm not used to it. 18:53
TimToady how so?
wolverian the arrow is a verb. 18:54
TimToady how so re "arrow to verb", not trigraphs
wolverian I read it as "go to" or "put into" 18:55
TimToady "put into the input queue of"
PerlJam wolverian: it's only weird because the noun is hidden.
18:56 ruz joined
wolverian yeah, it's not so weird that I won't get used to it. 18:56
TimToady I think it's clearer than foo | bar in the shell...
wolverian it is that.. 18:57
PerlJam TimToady: but we have had decades to get used to shell pipes and only a short time to get used to perl pipes :)
wolverian the shell | would make more sense if it still had a hole in it. 18:58
TimToady that's at right angles to how I think of the pipe
I think it's a very skinny pipe.
wolverian well, a leaking pipe.. it randomly picks parameters and sends them to the neighbouring statements 18:59
PerlJam So is there a unicode version of ==> that's thicker so that I can increase my throughput? ;)
wolverian there is, but I can't type it with this keymap, only ā†’ . and I don't know if it's official. 19:00
TimToady ā‡› 21DB RIGHTWARDS TRIPLE ARROW
wolverian don't you want the double arrow?
TimToady ā‡‰ 21C9 RIGHTWARDS PAIRED ARROWS
the funny thing about 19:01
ā‡’ 21D2 RIGHTWARDS DOUBLE ARROW
gaal Beh. I added "produce" and [\] but am getting SVK errors in pushing it. Don't work on hacking this, folks
TimToady is that
ā‡ 21D0 LEFTWARDS DOUBLE ARROW
is shorter in my font than the rightwards one.
you'd think they'd be symmetrical.
course, there's also dingbats: 19:02
wolverian they're the same length here.
TimToady āž” 2794 HEAVY WIDE-HEADED RIGHTWARDS ARROW
āž™ 2799 HEAVY RIGHTWARDS ARROW
āž› 279B DRAFTING POINT RIGHTWARDS ARROW
āž 279D TRIANGLE-HEADED RIGHTWARDS ARROW
āžž 279E HEAVY TRIANGLE-HEADED RIGHTWARDS ARROW
āž” 27A1 BLACK RIGHTWARDS ARROW
wolverian oh, and the double arrow is probably =>, so that the unicode variants are shifted by one, because there's -> and => (both the same length) 19:03
TimToady well, it's not the only thing screwy about my current font...
I was actually thinking pipes should maybe be: 19:04
ā‡  21E0 LEFTWARDS DASHED ARROW
ā‡¢ 21E2 RIGHTWARDS DASHED ARROW
aufrank invisibly different from ā†’ here 19:05
TimToady or maybe
ā‡¦ 21E6 LEFTWARDS WHITE ARROW
ā‡Ø 21E8 RIGHTWARDS WHITE ARROW
there do exist: 19:06
āŸø 27F8 LONG LEFTWARDS DOUBLE ARROW
āŸ¹ 27F9 LONG RIGHTWARDS DOUBLE ARROW
but those are even shorter in my font...
aufrank do those show up with boxes around them for everyone else? 19:07
or is that my font or my dark background?
TimToady not me.
they just look like a shorter version of the "short" ones in my font.
wolverian my font doesn't have them, so they show up as ? in boxes
TimToady I think they don't show up in Firefox either, last I checked. 19:08
aufrank wolverian wins, I think
TimToady is this the circular scale where it wraps around in back so that wins and loses is the same thing? :) 19:09
sort of like communist and fascist meet around back at totalitarian?
and blue and red meet around back at purple? 19:10
FurnaceBoy (h) ASCII
TimToady I am not familar with the (h) operator...
Is that ASCII for ā¤ ? 19:11
clkao (y) 19:12
(Y) actually
FurnaceBoy <3
PerlJam (h) is the hate operator. FurnaceBoy was expressing his hatred for ASCII
TimToady not to be confused with [Y]
FurnaceBoy (heart)
TimToady or [\Y]
FurnaceBoy PerlJam, !hate
clkao (\/)
(v)
FurnaceBoy I see <3 for it, but I always think icecream, or flowers...
TimToady [nor] 19:13
FurnaceBoy or file descriptor 3...
wolverian (v) is just hot ..
FurnaceBoy wolfwhistles
FurnaceBoy ... in EBCDIC
gdickie [Y] transposes a list of lists. Nice!
FurnaceBoy (v) conflates a crate of plates.
PerlJam so ... earlier I said that the operator in [X] must be binary. Is that true? Could it be N-ary as long as it prodoces a scalar result? 19:17
TimToady for syntactic purposes it must currently be defined as infix:<X> 19:18
otherwise it's too ambiguous with [...] as an array composer.
PerlJam okay, good. : 19:19
TimToady It's probably sufficient to say &infix:<X> ::= &X or some such.
presuming the signature of X is $x/$y compatible. 19:20

azuroth I can mount my mp3 player and delete one directory on it, but after that it says "this is a read only filesystem!" 21:37
szbalint I suppose linux + usb + storage? 21:42
If yes you might enable usb debug messages in the kernel and check dmesg 21:43
azuroth hmm, okay. I might just try reformatting the thingy as fat first, because it's got a whole bunch of crazy files on it 21:44
FurnaceBoy did you check system log? 21:47
a media error can force it to switch to read only
azuroth no, I didn't ;-p where is the system log?
FurnaceBoy /var/log/messages, typically 21:48
or you can also just hit 'dmesg' for recent ones
azuroth ah, cool. I'll check later; hopefully this copying is working now after the format. I think I'm going to miss my train 21:49
FurnaceBoy good luck 21:50

that should parse. just because say.bar requires the absence of whitespace doesn't mean that say"foo" requires whitespace... 22:52
