Set by TimToady on 25 January 2008.
TimToady wow, an ipv6 addr 00:50
alc :) 00:51
TimToady sorry I had to kick you the other day, but your bot was doing something funny... 00:52
alc i'm sorry for that
just loaded a crappy script
TimToady I'll bet it was written in a crappy language :) 00:53
alc perl5, FYI :)
TimToady I was right...
I'm afraid, though, that it will still be possible to write buggy programs in Perl 6... 00:55
but they'll be *better* bugs :) 00:56
TimToady let's see, given the fact that you're using ipv6, and that you just came on, I'd say you're coming from somewhere in the neighborhood of china 00:58
alc not neighborhood 00:59
TimToady :)
alc just china
morning~
TimToady 你早 01:01
alc 早 :) 01:02
TimToady that's about the limit of my chinese, I'm afraid, though I know a lot of characters from looking at japanese
I keep telling myself I'll learn Mandarin as soon as I get fluent in Japanese, but that'll probably never happen... :) 01:03
anyway, 欢迎 01:04
alc thanks larry. 01:05
how did you input those chinese characters?
TimToady in this case, I pasted them from my dictionary, though I do have a japanese input method I can use 01:06
but that tends to use traditional rather than simplified
and is missing a lot of characters from your point of view anyway... :)
I'm sure that someday I'll work around to putting up a Mandarin input method as well 01:07
alc for that i recommend scim... =) 01:08
TimToady that's what I'm using
TimToady alc: which input method do you use under scim? 01:12
alc currently, code.google.com/p/scim-python/ 01:13
lambdabot Title: scim-python - Google Code
alc once used the 'official' scim-chinese/scim-pinyin 01:15
TimToady I suppose I should stick with the more official one for occasional use 01:16
xinming TimToady: We normally use scim-pinyin in mainland, Some people also uses WuBi, But in TW, people uses other input methods, For WuBi, You'd better live in China to learn WuBi easily. And also, If you want the real original Chinese language. I suggest you stick with Traditional Chinese. :-D 01:19
TimToady I mostly learn the traditional characters in Japanese too, though sometimes they have variants that are neither Traditional nor Simplified 01:20
単 for instance 01:21
xinming Those are very small evolution during spreading of Chinese. :-D 01:23

JDlugosz hello masak.
masak hi there JDlugosz
I'm reading your question now
JDlugosz What's wrong with that line? position 11 is the space after the quote.
masak where do you get the `?` from?
JDlugosz Is it normal to be so quiet here with so many logged on? Or am I having a server problem or everyone in private chats? 07:34
masak I don't remember having to put one of those there.
JDlugosz: it is fairly normal
JDlugosz The ? is to force boolean context so the match gives me true/false, and prevents a void context.
masak this used to be a high-trafic channel, and many are still interested
JDlugosz used to be?
masak hm
yes
I know that `?` boolifies, but I wouldn't have thought to put it before the regex 07:35
JDlugosz So why is there a huge list of people logged on?
masak are you sure that's specced? just checking
JDlugosz: because many people are interested in #perl6 and quite a few used to be active 07:36
JDlugosz That is an example from the OReilly book. It introduces it to prevent accidental void context, and then using ? or + to specify what kind of answer.
masak nowadays, it's much of a ghost town of logged-in but quiet users
JDlugosz So what is the user list? I thought those were people logged on to the channel.
masak JDlugosz: any book you might have is often wildly out-of-date
not saying that's the case here, just a reminder of that 07:37
JDlugosz: they are. they're just not paying attention
JDlugosz Yes, I'll keep that in mind. But I got errors from Pugs, not syntax errors etc. So one problem at a time. 07:37
masak many computer users have a stationary computer somewhere where they can be logged in to IRC all the time
JDlugosz: sure 07:38
JDlugosz Hmm, whithout the ? it still can't find a library.
masak I think pugs should be able to handle regexes
masak you'd probably do best to try the tests and see what is covered 07:38
JDlugosz But it returns a Match.new object after giving the error.
masak are you familiar with running tests? 07:39
JDlugosz Yes, I thought Pugs was good with 'rules'.
masak not sure it is, actually
JDlugosz No, I'm not. I downloaded the 't' directory though. I suppose you just run them like any other code file?
masak I remember it doing p5 regexes without problem at some point
JDlugosz: yes
JDlugosz More telling is the content is good examples of what works.
masak JDlugosz: you can do `make test` but that runs the whole test suite 07:40
JDlugosz: the tests are good examples of what works
JDlugosz I installed the Win32 binary, did not build myself.
masak hm
you can do `p6prove t/path/file.t` to run individual test files 07:41
JDlugosz Hmm, why would it know that this is a p5 regex? I thought it defaulted to rules, and I did not use an adjective.
masak JDlugosz: yes, sure
it's just that things are under construction and, in the case of pugs, left in a half-finished state 07:42
so things don't always work according to spec
JDlugosz Well, the book does that, so maybe it autodetects simple cases. 07:43
My immediate problem is getting Pugs to load the libraries correctly. 07:44
The INC doesn't match...?
masak JDlugosz: my guess is that the eventual answer you will get from people who know more than I do is, that something in Pugs is broken and might not get fixed until someone finds massive tuits to do it
but on the other hand, it might just be a library problem
JDlugosz Is there any newsgroup or forum for Pugs? 07:45
JDlugosz still there, masak? 07:47
masak yes
JDlugosz: apart from #perl6? perl6-users might be it
JDlugosz Thanks.
masak np 07:48
JDlugosz I'm going to "ghost" myself a bit, and check back later to see if there was any traffic.
masak good idea.
good luck
JDlugosz I guess there is no social protocol for that here? I remember saying "AFK" (away from keyboard) or being able to put a mark on the name in the logged-on list. 07:49
masak you can do either, or neither. it's up to you 07:52
but generally on IRC, it's a good idea to assume that a user is not immediately available, unless she has said something in the last minute or so.
pmurias @tell mncharity did you sv(k|n) add Emit::AstYaml? 08:31
lambdabot Consider it noted.

$dayjob with no IRC allowed, and no internet after that :(
diakopter ruoso: ping 16:26
ruoso diakopter, pong 16:41
diakopter ruoso: someone mentioned to me scheme48. are you familiar with it? (sorry if it's a dumb question) 16:43
ruoso diakopter, not really 16:44
ruoso diakopter, any aspect in particular that I should take a closer look on? 16:45
diakopter he read the smop wiki entries and said, "oh, that's scheme48"
diakopter sorry for the hearsay. :) I'm sure something got lost in the retransmission. 16:46
ruoso heh 16:47
ruoso it's interesting because I had heard the same regarding to smalltalk as well 16:47
ruoso I wish I could merge more the smalltalk and scheme48 communities with smop 16:50
spinclad aol's 16:53
pmurias ruoso: in what way?
Zaqq hi all. can we externalize strings from text files like JSPs for instance, easily using some perl script magic? 16:59
obra Zaqq: you may want #perl
(If you're working in a released version of Perl)
spinclad Zaqq: #perl on irc.perl.org 17:15
Zaqq obra: spincladi: i tried asking in perl ... but they pointed me to java lol
obra #perl on irc.perl.org is not a place to point people for perl help, spinclad 17:16
#perl on irc.perl.org is a social club that is...not friendly to perl questions. 17:17
Zaqq: you likely want to look at Locale::Maketext and other things in the Locale:: section of CPAN
ruoso pmurias, I would like to see them trying to have Perl 6 on their runtime or trying to have their language in smop's runtime 17:20
Zaqq obra: thanks .. i am browsing cpan.uwinnipeg.ca/search?query=Loca...;mode=dist .. hope to find something which parses files like JSPs
lambdabot Title: Browse and search CPAN
obra wait. sorry. I thought you were talking about string extraction for, say, I18N. 17:20
if you want something for perl that works like JSP, look at HTML::Mason
Zaqq obra: no no .. i want something to go thru a JSP file ... and wherever it finds plain strings ... they need to be externalized ... i need it for internationalization/ globalization 17:21
obra ah. ok. look at extract-message-catalogs in Locale::Maketext::Lexicon. you'lll need to modify it. but it's a tool for doing osmething similar 17:22
Zaqq obra: thank you.. will ask if more help needed 17:24
obra try #perl rather than here.
Zaqq r u there as well? 17:25
obra this channel really is for discussion of the development of the next version of perl
I'm not, but I need to disappear to do work anyway
rakudo_svn r26098 | jonathan++ | [rakudo] Implement smart-matching against a role name to check if the class does the role, plus a little clean-up to the role creation code.
Zaqq obra: ok thanks
[particle] everytime i rebuild parrot, jonathan++ has a new commit!
rakudo_svn r26099 | jonathan++ | [rakudo] Add a file missed out in the previous ci. Oops. 17:27
spinclad obra: my apologies 18:10
obra np 18:11
