agentzh yay! welcome back, ilogger2! 06:53
i miss you so ;)
agentzh has confirmed #perl6 is indeed logged again. 06:54

svnbot6 r16026 | agentz++ | * run-smoke.pl now honours the HARNESS_PUGS environment which defaults to './pugs' 07:13
r16026 | agentz++ | * added util/limited_pugs for restricting './pugs' via the ulimit command in sh.
r16027 | agentz++ | limited_pugs now limited to a cputime of 120 sec
r16028 | agentz++ | * made prove6 *nix friendly.
agentzh my svk seems to have problems. 07:14
svnbot6 r16029 | agentz++ | * run-smoke.pl - some win32 love.
r16029 | agentz++ | * limited_pugs - added the 'nice -n5' and 'ulimit -v 800000' contraints.
agentzh these commits are very old. 07:15
i see a lot of conflicts. 07:18
and it seems i'm repeating existing commits made by others and myself over the last few days :( 07:19
07:22 rissy joined
agentzh maybe svk v2.0.1 is just unstable. 07:23
clkao huh? what are you trying to do ?
agentzh clkao: i'm trying 'svk push' 07:24
(as normal)
but a lot of conflicts between //mirror/pugs and //local/pugs occurred.
it seems svk is repeating old commits in the last few days. 07:25
07:25 jisom joined
agentzh very weird. 07:25
clkao is your uuid same as somebody else's? 07:26
agentzh no idea.
how to check that?
clkao cat db/uuid 07:28
is this depot a fresh mirror or you copied from somewhere else?
agentzh it's a fresh mirror.
i'm on my own machine, not feather.

agentzh needs to revert the previous bogus commits to pugs. 07:30
07:31 franck__ joined
agentzh sorry, but how can i revert svn commits using svk? (i know how on win32 with TortoiseSVN, but not linux) 07:31
07:33 SubStack joined
clkao svk merge -c -N //path //path 07:33
agentzh clkao: ah, thanks. 07:34
clkao: is it possible to specify an SVN rev number? 07:40
07:42 xinming_ joined
clkao N@ 07:45
agentzh clkao: cool, thanks
$ svk merge -C -c -16029@ //local/pugs2 //mirror/pugs 07:46
Change spec -16029@ not recognized.
oh, i should exchange the paths. 07:47
clkao: it works now. thank you :) 07:48
i've started another local branch for the pugs mirror.

09:36 TimToady joined
svnbot6 r16034 | Darren_Duncan++ | added test t/operators/brainos.t which checks that a =~ invocation dies at compile time 09:41
09:42 TimToady joined
dduncan I haven't read it yet, but the principle of STM is good, so an argument against that principle would be misguided ... will read now ... 09:42
Aankhen`` Thanks. I don't really understand the concepts and pitfalls involved well enough to figure out whether the arguments presented are valid, so I thought this would be a good place to find people who would. =) 09:44
s/who would/who could/
dduncan STM is just a mechanism where a coder says that a collection of actions must be atomic, and being able to do that is a good thing 09:48
Aankhen`` Right.
dduncan I don't see how that can be bad
09:48 TimToady joined
dduncan the gist I got from the paper is that the writer says that STM can be misuded, and therefore its better not to include the feature, 09:49
moritz but perl never worked that way
dduncan which sounds like the antithesis of Perl
moritz perl always offers any possibility ;)
Aankhen`` Heh. 09:50
dduncan Perl gives you lots of tools and you choose what to use
moritz even goto *g*
Aankhen`` Indeed.
moritz: Hey don't be hatin' on the goto.
goto &foo; # très useful :-)
dduncan hey, goto is very powerful ... that's how we get coroutines and exceptions to work, the former particularly
moritz Aankhen``: I'm merely remarking upon the fact that most "modern" langauges don't have goto anymore
Aankhen`` moritz: Ah, right.
dduncan well, I mean the principle of goto is useful 09:51
that sometimes you don't have to complete your current block before executing another
Aankhen`` moritz: Sorry, it's 2:50 AM and I've spent the better part of the last few hours in a groggy state reading mostly abstract papers or articles on programming. :-P
dduncan its that way here too
2:52am here
moritz Aankhen``: no problem ;)
Aankhen`` ^_^
moritz 11:50 am here ;) 09:52
no, 10:50, sorry ;I
my irc client lies on a server in a different time zone
which is sometimes confusing ;)
Aankhen`` dduncan: Hmm, let me see. What I take away from the post, after repeated reading, is that we should be moving towards having no shared state.
Whereas he implies STM is about having everything shared.
dduncan I got that from it too 09:53
09:53 ruoso joined
dduncan I see STM as dealing about things possibly being shared, and so be safe just in case ... its like being thread safe 09:53
Aankhen`` Ah, good, I'm not quite insane then. At least on that count.
Aankhen`` nods.
09:53 TimToady joined
Aankhen`` Atomic operations cannot include I/O activity, right? 09:54
dduncan broadly speaking, yes they can
Aankhen`` (In Perl 6, at any rate.)
dduncan the caveat is that I/O operations can't be undone
Aankhen`` Yeah.
dduncan I mean, some can't be undone
if the I/O is with the filesystem, it should be undoable 09:55
that's what DBMSs do already
but if its with users or a network, probably not
Aankhen`` atomic { ...; $dbh->do('DELETE FROM `users`'); fail "Oops, didn't mean to do that"; } 09:56
Might be a tad hard to get out of that one.
dduncan that's why proper DBMSs have rollback
Aankhen`` Ergh, shame on me for mixing P5 and P6 there.
Aye.
But I guess from the language's point of view, it has no idea of knowing, so it has to err on the side of caution. 09:57
dduncan fyi, in my DBMS, you usually specify an atomic operation with, eg, "atomic { ... }" rather than begin/commit/rollback
Aankhen`` So throwing an exception within that means the block fails, falling off normally means it's committed?
dduncan though that's an option ... all statements in my DBMS are implicitly atomic anyway
yes 09:58
Aankhen`` Makes sense.
dduncan statements and routines both
09:58 TimToady joined
dduncan the only time one would actually say atomic { ... } is if they want just a block within a routine to be separately atomic, and then that block may be called try { ...} rather 09:58
Aankhen`` Indeed. 09:59
dduncan since the STM is essentially tied to standard control flow or exceptions
but that's in my system, obviously Perl would have a separate atomic {}, since everything is not implicitly transactional
Aankhen`` Ergh, do you know which synopsis `contend` is in? 10:00
Doesn't seem to be in S04 or S06.
dduncan fyi, what I've written on the matter so far is in ext/QDRDBMS/lib/QDRDBMS/Language.pod
Aankhen`` Oh, excellent. I'll take a look.
Hmm, I should probably svn up Pugs too.
I've been pretty lax about that.
dduncan to be clear, my last comment was about transaction support in my DBMS, not 'contend' 10:01
Aankhen`` Heh, figured as much.
Er, did I just imagine `contend`? I can't find it in any synopsis.
dduncan as for 'contend', I would have expected it to be in S04 10:02
or either of those actually
looking ...
is 'async' anywhere?
I mean, 'atomic'
though both of those ought to appear together
Aankhen`` I see a mention of both contend and async in S04.
Under `Other do-like forms`.
10:03 TimToady joined 10:08 TimToady joined 10:13 TimToady joined
dduncan Aankhen, actually, like DBMS transactions, I see one of the main benefits of STM not necessarily having anything to do with shared state ... its that it provides an easy mechanism to undo some partitially completed actions ... and this can be true in isolation 10:15
so then, STM is orthogonal to shared states, which the paper talked about
Aankhen`` Ah. 10:16
dduncan in my understanding, STM is just like a database transaction, but it just deals with a program's memory state
Aankhen`` That's what I thought too.
I think I must reluctantly go to bed now. 10:17
dduncan right then
Aankhen`` dduncan: Always nice to talk to you. :-)
G'night.
dduncan sure

because...because... 11:14
diakopter (Damian has included many inline examples of Perldoc/Pod that would be excellent initial tests)
agentzh smartlinks.pl can't parse Perl 6 POD yet.
are those tests in Perl 6?
diakopter oh. I thought it parsed the html.
agentzh diakopter: it parses the POD directly. 11:15
parsing HTML will be harder.

diakopter oh. what makes it harder?
11:15 TimToady joined
agentzh if parsing HTML, then we'll rely our code too heavily on Pod::Simple::HTML's emitter template. 11:16
(as well as Perl6::Perldoc's template) 11:17

11:20 TimToady joined
agentzh well, i'll try to find some time in the next few weeks to add support for Perl 6 POD to smartlinks.pl. 11:24

moritz: is it possible to set up the logger table such that it doesn't exceed the width of the page and wraps the text instead? It's kindof irritating to have to scroll right to see the ends of many comments. 16:59
moritz TimToady: I'll do my best ;)
is there a simple html/css solution for auto-wrapping text in tables? 17:00
TimToady dunno, not an expert in css. I think bare html has percentage widths on table columns, but whether that can be percent of page width I don't know. 17:01
moritz ah, it normally does wrap, but in this case pastebot spammed the table with one long word...
and a single word is normally not wrapped automatically
TimToady well, banning pastbot isn't the answer. :) 17:02

TimToady not search for /[off]/ or some such, are you? 17:30
hmm, wouldn't explain the 2nd line...
moritz no, m/^\[off\]/i 17:31
TimToady it was logging svnbot earlier
moritz yes
17:33 Psyche^ is now known as Patterner
TimToady I just blew away audreyt's dist/build; I think that's the solution to the pasted "can't link" problem, if I recall... 17:35
and if I don't recall, I'm sure that will also become evident... 17:36

cmarcelo moritz: thank you. :) a question: are we "dropping" colabti.de because of your solution or your solution came because colabti.de "dropped"? 17:43
moritz cmarcelo: second one 17:46
cmarcelo: we had no logger, so I wrote one ;)
17:46 edenc joined 17:56 ilbot-test joined
TimToady colabti also defaults to latin-1 rather than utf-8 17:57
and of course we pay no attention to the fact that it's written in Python. </wink> 17:58
Juerd I think an IRC logger should default to UTF-8, and then interpret invalid UTF-8 byte sequences as Windows-1252. 18:01
Irssi does this, and it really works out well in the real world. 18:02
moritz Juerd: mine currently uses Encode::Guess with utf-8 and latin1, and falls back to utf-8 18:03
Juerd How can you ever fall back to utf-8?
moritz Juerd: so far it semms to work
well, guess() returns either a decoding or undef 18:04
and in case of undef I use utf-8
Juerd Oh, you're using heuristics? :(
moritz Juerd: why not? it's rather easy to distinguish latin1 and utf-8
geoffb Don't knock heuristics. Heuristics made me the man I am today. 18:05
;-)
Juerd moritz: On a line by line basis, yes.
But you'll be considering entire lines to be latin1 if they contain a single utf8 error. 18:06
I guess that's not a big problem.
moritz Juerd: I decided not to think more about it until I see it failing 18:07
OwlEye TimToady, was somebody messing with your connection earlier?
Juerd I don't think it'll fail.
TimToady nah, flakey Linksys firewall, apparently
probably ran out of resources to keep track of TCP properly
so was dropping every TCP connection within a few minutes 18:08

rindolf Hi gaal 18:40
gaal: what's up?
18:42 veritos joined
fglock_ ah, it's a macro 18:43
TimToady fglock_: no, means the prototype isn't stringifying right
WHAT should merely return the prototype
fglock_ but aren't all objects prototypes (potentially) 18:44
offby1 The trouble with a kitten is THAT / Eventually it becomes a CAT -- Ogden Nash
TimToady there's a profound difference under tagmemics between "is a
between "is a" and "may be used as a"
any object may be used as a prototype 18:45
that doesn't mean that all objects are prototypes
just as all objects maybe used as a boolean
fglock_ ok
wolverian no wikipedia page for our moose? aww.
TimToady but not all objects are of type Bool
fglock_ where can I read more about prototypes x classes 18:46
TimToady moritz: does it distinuish revisions from other bots such as specbot?

rindolf TimToady: do you know APL or J? 18:48
jjore-w had a very nice experience with Oz last night. What a nice little language for soving constraints. :-)
fglock_ I'm reimplementing kp6 object+container system 18:49
TimToady what makes you think I'd admit it if I did? :)
veritos TimToady: you write JAPHs. 18:50
moritz TimToady: no, it doesn't
rindolf TimToady: :-)
"I'm not an actor! I just play one on T.V."
moritz TimToady: where should I link specbot revisions to? 18:51
veritos although APL can be more clean:
TimToady APLs monadic vs dyadic distinction is not really that far off from what Perl 6 does with prefix: vs infix:
veritos perl: print <STDIN> + <STDIN>
apl: (box) + (box)
TimToady however, I think APL is badly Huffman coded
wolverian APL has monads?! :)
integral The other monadic :-) 18:52
fglock_ the prototype is just a special 'instance'?
TimToady some operators need to be longer than one character
it's an undefined instance 18:53
so it can be used in reasoning about the class as if it were an instance, as long as you don't actually try to ask it to behave as an object. 18:54
veritos en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:LifeInApl.gif
lambdabot Title: Image:LifeInApl.gif - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
TimToady Unfortunately it's a different meaning of "prototype" from how "prototype OO languages" define it. 18:56
but we never thought of a better term 18:57
but our prototype is actually rather more like a prototype than a parent 18:58
our Rocket class is made out of cardboard, and just looks like a Rocket
but if you try to launch it, it won't work.
(not that you can't make a real rocket out of cardboard...)
jjore-w thinks cardboard rockets sounds like a game. 18:59
fglock_ ok, I think I found out a possible implementation
TimToady many small rockets actually are cardboard.
jjore-w rolls to see if his rocket launches.
TimToady you have to worry about pitches and yaws too 19:00
hmm, more likely the Rocket is made out of Styrofoam® 19:01
veritos TimToady: we get it. you worked at JPL. great. /sarcasm 19:02
TimToady well, happens to be I did work there, but my interest in rockets goes back way before that... 19:04
It's hard to have been born in the 50's and not be a space junkie.
veritos TimToady: good point. you and ousterhout..shoulda figured. 19:05
offby1 suddenly realizes that `++', when appended to a nick, could quite reasonably be pronounced "double-plus good" 19:07
fglock_ hmm - it's easier to bootstrap the object system out of 'Method' instead of 'Object', because both Method and Object have methods

fglock ?eval Int.HOW 21:08
evalbot_r16048 \Class.new(("is" => ("Rat",)), ("name" => "Int"))
fglock does Class.new create a class? 21:09
or a metaclass? 21:10
it looks like it creates a metaclass, 21:11
but in this case, how do you create a class?
[particle] what's the difference? 21:12
fglock a metaclass describes a class
[particle] a class is an instance of a metaclass
fglock and the class 'is' the class
[particle] ...so new should create a class given a metaclass. 21:13
at least, that's how i interpret it, but i may be way off
fglock I see I'm still stuck with a bad concept of 'prototype' (and now 'metaclass') 21:17

offby1 what zgh said 34 minutes ago
veritos oh.
moritz no, it wasn't 23:00
and it wasn't clean latin-1 or iso-8859-15 either
offby1 IRC channels ought to announce their preferred coding system in their topics.
TimToady the logger decided it meant â„¢/bye
offby1 and the language, too, if that's not obvious from the rest of the topic ... 23:01
moritz which is nonsense
TimToady it also decided I should be boldface red somehow...
offby1 does the logger try to interpret the bytes as characters?
moritz offby1: it tries to guess if a line is latin1 or utf8, and decodes accordingly 23:02
offby1 gosh, it's ecumenical
moritz TimToady: is there a color you'd prefer? 23:03
scott asked me to color-code nicks...
veritos i would assume that he prefers a toady green.
moritz and so I did ;)
TimToady and maybe audreyt would prefer red, given she's chinese... 23:04
veritos TimToady: that's TAIWANESE to you. 23:05
TimToady 'sides, after a while the two capital T's start looking like red thumtacks.
Tang is a perfectly good Chinese name.

but yes, I do rather like green. 23:06
how are you assigning the other colors? 23:07
moritz currently hand-coded 23:10
TimToady actually, I also like purple 23:15
maybe you should make audreyt infrared and me ultraviolet. :)
veritos TimToady: what's the shade of blue (in rgb hex) for the camel v3 cover?
TimToady hmm, no clue 23:16
but I'll bet it's changing with Perl 6 in any case
veritos about a nice light orange? 23:17
TimToady gaal should probably be moose colored 23:19
another idea is to not repeat the name for subsequent messages from the same person. 23:21
