dukeleto Woodi: i think the last time I heard, rakudo was passing about %68 of the spec test suite. rakudo.org/status 06:47

mr_ank you mean stuff like Moose?

I'm confused, what exactly have you produced?
TimToady I've produced confusion :) 06:52
TimToady is pretty good at that...
mr_ank i wish i could be paid to produce that for 10 years :P 06:55
sjohnson people in #perl are kind of mean

Su-Shee good morning. :) 08:10
rindolf Su-Shee: morning. 08:16
Su-Shee: how is Sunday called?
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frederick_P._Brooks - hmmm.... he won the Turing Award. 08:17
carlin dukeleto: svn.pugscode.org/pugs/t/deprecated-syntax.pod 08:18
dukeleto carlin++ 08:18
Su-Shee rindolf: literal translation: sonn (sonne/sun) tag (day) 08:19
rindolf Su-Shee: no, I mean if Sat is Su-Shee's slacking day - what is Sunday?
Su-Shee rindolf: ah :)) 08:20
rindolf: planning and coding day.
rindolf Su-Shee: ah.
rindolf Su-Shee: someone quoted Reddit about perl6.org on #perlcafe 08:21
Su-Shee rindolf: the manly gay feminine part? ;)
rindolf Su-Shee: hmm... it was said by EvanCarroll 08:22
carlin we should make camelia flash different colours, that'd give them something to complain about ;)
rindolf www.reddit.com/r/programming/commen...rg/c0cjjil - this one.
Su-Shee I can add blink tags and marquees. ;)
rindolf Su-Shee: does perl6.org has some nifty :hover effects? 08:23
Nothing too intrusive just background colour change, etc.
Su-Shee rindolf: pugs main developer is transgender, so a little gay vibe seems perfectly reasonable to me. (that comment I really like.)
(but it's a woman..)
carlin -4 points 08:24
rindolf Su-Shee: you should also add -webkit-rounded-corners 08:26
Su-Shee: too bad Opera doesn't have something like that.
sjohnson how's it going carlin ?
hi Su-Shee
rindolf Su-Shee: I once read a fortune cookie that said "I'm a Lesbian born in a man's body." 08:27
carlin Hi sjohnson :)
Su-Shee rindolf: I have border-radius for both. 08:28
rindolf Su-Shee: ah.
Su-Shee: perl-begin.org/temp/ - Alan Haggai worked on that with my input.
Stretchy. 08:29
carlin the css validator doesn't like browser-specific border radii :(
rindolf Fluid.
Munctional!
carlin: yes, it's kinda inane.
Su-Shee carlin: yes. it's upcoming css3 which is supported by all major relatively recent browsers and will change to "border-radius" then. but it's not valid css2.x
carlin: the next years will be somewhat fuzzy because all browsers are nowadays very much faster with implementing standards than the w3c actually releasing them. 08:30
carlin true 08:33
Su-Shee (did anyone realize how nice the page looks in lynx? :) 08:35
carlin Except the alt-text on camelia it looks quite good :p 08:38
carlin wishes sites like reddit could provide constructive feedback rather than "it causes seizures" 08:41
Su-Shee carlin: I have a new version in the making anyway...
carlin Oh, nice 08:42
Su-Shee carlin: and many male techies will never like anything remotely "cute" or brightly colored..
carlin Is their a preview of the new live anywhere?
Su-Shee carlin: alway at sushee.no-ip.org/p6p/ 08:43
carlin: but it's really pre-pre-pre (until I've finished my coffee :)
carlin have a link saying "if you are a male techie click here" which changes the website to a black background with white monospace text 08:44
that'll make everyone happy
Su-Shee *hihihi* ok :)) easily done :))
rindolf Su-Shee: I don't see the download link. 08:49
cognominal I wonder if color choices are only cultural bias 08:50
Su-Shee rindolf: in lynx?
rindolf But I like the briefer discussions.
Su-Shee: no - here - sushee.no-ip.org/p6p/
Su-Shee cognominal: of course they are. ask what everyone besides israel thinks about light blue in the middle east. ;)
rindolf Su-Shee: I suggest making the colours more pastelly.
Su-Shee: and the fonts of the headers larger. 08:51
Su-Shee rindolf: I've tried. Rejected by commitee :)
rindolf Su-Shee: and perhaps not phrase them as questions.
But rather "Download"
Or "About"
Or "Contribute"
Su-Shee rindolf: ah, the pre-version.. please wait a little until I got more..
carlin and on the male techie version replace Camelia with an Atlas moth 08:54
cognominal and for the litterary kind a link toward nabokov? 08:55
carlin in true timtowtdi fashion, the homepage is a portal which branches to a site layed out differently based on preference 08:56
carlin also need a version for entomophobiacs 08:59
Su-Shee someone could do me the favor and start coding a little sleek cms in perl 6. ;) 09:01
carlin What, actually do work? But it's so much easier to just criticise on IRC
Su-Shee well if we're actually offering a central site for everyone to go to about everything perl 6 related, this is going to be very fast a rather large thing.. 09:03
rindolf Su-Shee: maybe code an off-line CMS.
Su-Shee: or convert Latemp to p6.
Su-Shee rindolf: I can manage with pure html and vi for a rather long time, so no hurry. but "a p6 cms" is something on the top 10 killer app list anyway. 09:05
rindolf Su-Shee: ah.
Su-Shee (blog engine, cms, wiki, forum, microblogging engine, web framework..)
rindolf Su-Shee: how do you maintain a navigation menu across pages?
Su-Shee rindolf: good question, next question. ;) 09:08
rindolf Su-Shee: in Latemp, it's a no-brainer.
Su-Shee: I never maintain a site as raw HTML. 09:09
I always use Latemp or something.
TT2 is also nice.
nothingmuch: I saw your comment on my &zip blog post.
Su-Shee rindolf: I even don't know latemp. 09:10
rindolf Su-Shee: then learn - web-cpan.berlios.de/latemp/
Su-Shee: though it has a steep learning curve. 09:12
Su-Shee: I love how all the borders on that page are perfectly aligned.
I used pt offsets.
sjohnson （　｀ー´） 10:10
carlin the silence is broken by a 10:15
umm
what is that?
jauaor me 10:16
carlin ah no, a little ascii drawing by sjohnson, right before you joined 10:17
sjohnson i call it, "the fatface" 10:20
Su-Shee sleeping cat?
rindolf Su-Shee: sleeping cat(1)? 10:27
carlin man cat?
rindolf cat man.
echo cat
cat echo
carlin cat: man: No such file or directory
sjohnson TimToady said it was a sleeping cat too 10:28
carlin and who are we to question his judgement?
Su-Shee tail missing, but it really looks like it. :)
rindolf carlin: you should try it in /usr/bin
sjohnson ~（　｀ー´）
there u go Su-Shee
carlin rindolf: nice, I'm sure vim could find a way to syntax highlight that output
rindolf $ file /usr/bin/man 10:29
/usr/bin/man: setgid ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.9, stripped
Su-Shee sjohnson: "can it purr?" ;)
rindolf Emacs has a hex editing mode.
rindolf is taking a break from refactoring some C code. 10:30
Why is it /bin/cat and /bin/tiger ? 10:31
rindolf Why is it /bin/cat and not /bin/tiger ? 10:31
sjohnson ~（　｀ー´） purr!! 10:32
thats as good as i am with ascii art
rindolf Hmmm... Frenglish is fun. 10:33
sjohnson: isn't it Unicode art?
sjohnson yeah
i call it Franglais too
rindolf sjohnson: that it's not ASCII.
sjohnson: Frenglish is in English ; Franglais is in French.
There's also Engrew.
Su-Shee ah. we have denglish. ;) 10:34
rindolf Hebrew with English paradigms.
Su-Shee: Denmark English?
Or deautch English?
Su-Shee de(utsch) english
rindolf There used to be something called Penglish (pinglish) - Palestinian English.
Su-Shee: ah.
huf dont all programmers speak in a $local_lang/English mix?
rindolf There's also Chinglish and Engrish. 10:35
They are really off.
Su-Shee huf: here, the newspapers are constantly complaining about the imported english words.. ;)
huf Su-Shee: oh yeah, that's also constant ;) 10:36
funny how they never complain about all the latin and german and french and .... words
Su-Shee huf: yeah. 200 years ago they complained about the massive invasion of french words :))
rindolf en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franglais
huf Su-Shee: well, what can you do with people who think a language is a static structure... 10:37
Su-Shee what's really nasty is the more I chat in english and read documentation in english, the more I start to mix german and english while actually speaking, because I don't know certain terms in german.
rindolf Su-Shee: ah.
huf Su-Shee: and that is the correct approach imho
rindolf Su-Shee: it happens to me with Hebrew too.
huf i *really* hate translating technical terms, which means that when we talk code, large parts of the sentence are in badly-pronounced english :)
rindolf Su-Shee: I think most Israelis I know make many grammatical/etc. Hebrew mistakes.
And some even Spelling. 10:38
Su-Shee turkish girls here have perfected the language mix. for the sake of the communication flow, they use arabic, turkish and german in a rapid flow of speech.
rindolf Though spelling modern Hebrew is difficult.
And such mistakes were found in archaelogical excavations.
Su-Shee huf: me too. and microelectronics for example I plainly don't know in german anymore.
rindolf Su-Shee: doesn't most of the Turkish vocab come from Arabic? 10:39
Su-Shee rindolf: no. totally different language family. but of course there's a large arabic corpus.
huf my belief is that computers should be in english. your data could (but shouldnt, if at all possible) be in some weird provincial language you happend to grow up with, but the UI/code/docs/jargon should always be english.
Su-Shee huf: I hear you. 10:40
rindolf Su-Shee: yes, that's what I meant.
Su-Shee: vocabulary.
Su-Shee: not the grammar/syntax/etc.
I hate localised error messages.
Su-Shee OHYES!
me too!
rindolf They make reading many Google posts difficult.
I mean stuff you find while STFWing. 10:41
huf of course, we dont find it odd that a computer requires a special language to interact with :)
Su-Shee rindolf: I'm the one who's called by non-techie friends in the evening and ask to give a dignose based on those messages. ;)
huf but how to force this on the public? 10:42
rindolf Su-Shee: heh.
M_o_C Another disadvantage is that when googling for a solution you'll only get posts containing the localised error message...
Su-Shee huf: luckily, many people adopt the english-based internet/tech slang.
huf Su-Shee: i just claim very loudly that i dont understand hungarian error messages, whenever the subject comes up, so they know i wont/cant help :)
Su-Shee M_o_C: and on top of all that a distribution-specific solution if it's linux. 10:43
huf: I look sad and say "oh, gee, I'm so sorry, but I don't have a mac (windows) - I really have no idea.."
huf Su-Shee: yeah, that's also a handy trick :)
"get out of fixing-everyone's-boxen free card" 10:44
Su-Shee huf: especially if those are people which usally don't even have the patience to even listen to what I'm telling them...
huf Su-Shee: yeah, because "they dont understand it" 10:45
as if it required fucking magic...
huf i need a wizzard hat. 10:45
carlin nope, all you need is a flowchart
Su-Shee huf: I usally have a nice killer argument.. because I'm also no technician and I also didn't grow up with computers. ;)
carlin xkcd.org/627/
huf rindolf: is the spelling still hard in hebrew if you use the latin letters? 10:46
rindolf huf: well...
huf Su-Shee: i got my own computer at age 16. i'm heavily handicapped ;)
rindolf huf: most people don't follow the right transliteration.
Like they use k instead of "q".
huf: and some letters in Hebrew don't have a good transliteration.
M_o_C Meh, github http downloads are darn slow today...
huf rindolf: oh? 10:47
carlin github is always slow :(
rindolf huf: for example it's Al-Quran - not Al-Kuran.
huf: or Qur'an rather.
huf: Al-Qadim too.
huf: And it's not kwa.
rindolf That was the original use of the word in the Phoenician alphabet. 10:48
A "q" sound.
huf hmm, sounds are so hard to talk about on irc...
rindolf huf: yes. 10:51
huf: think is - many Hebrew speakers say "k" instead of "q" in everyday speech.
huf so you have dialects
rindolf huf: but still, some Israeli arabs told me that learning to read and write Hebrew was much easier for them than learning Written Arabic. 10:52
Su-Shee
.oO(says the fellow with the nastily inflected language.. ;)
huf Su-Shee: eh?
rindolf huf: we have some dialects and variations.
Su-Shee huf: aren't you hungarian? ;)
huf yeah, but how do dialects enter into this :)
we have a few but they're very minor 10:53
nothing like german or english has
rindolf huf: but Hebrew doesn't have a diglossia yet.
huf: though sometimes I'm flabbergasted by the broken Hebrew that some people have. 10:54
huf Su-Shee: mostly our dialects center around slight differences in vowel pronuniciation plus how they dealt with the loss of a vowel sound (the 'e' in men)
rindolf: s/hebrew/$local_language/ and yeah, i agree ;)
Su-Shee huf: I liked hungarian. if you really just go with it, it's not even illogic. 10:55
rindolf huf: I'm not talking about slang. I like a lot of slang.
huf: but I'm talking about bad grammar.
huf hmm... is that because hebrew is so recently resurrected? 10:56
or is that just general ignorance
Su-Shee here, bad grammar is a question of "class" and education... 10:57
huf same
and it only comes out in complex sentences. everyone can perform simple ones correctly. 10:58
Su-Shee huf: here it's certain very specific constructions in simple sentences
huf: which you either get right or not and that's determined by your environment. 10:59
huf well, not really. no matter what stratum of society you grew up in, you're constantly exposed to the correct grammar. there's no excuse for not knowing that 11:00
Su-Shee huf: you can avoid pretty well to be exposed to good newspapers or news and if you end up only with really bad reality shows on tv... 11:01
rindolf I think that the misunderstanding of Latin by the vulgars has made the grammar of Romance languages.
huf rindolf: i dont thin the people of rome spoke latin back in the day 11:02
it was probably a vulgar dialect ;)
M_o_C Su-Shee: Even newspapers contain more errors than one thinks they should... 11:03
Su-Shee huf: sure they did - many of them badly of course. there's an entire corpus of people's latin.
M_o_C: at least they get some nasty grammar fuckups right :)
huf Su-Shee: wel yes, but even today latin and italian are mutually intelligible, so... latin can be said to be a literary form of italian :) 11:04
rindolf huf: yes, they evolved from Vulgar Latin.
pmurias ruoso: hi 11:05
Su-Shee well yes and no. as latin was the main written language in entire europe up until.. leibniz I think, there's the line of written latin and the change of people actually speaking and evolving with latin.
huf Su-Shee: but that latin is not the same as the latin romans spoke ;) not exactly, anyway
Su-Shee recommends the tv series "ROME" :) 11:06
quote: "mother, it was just an orgy.." :)
huf they live in esher? 11:07
rindolf Su-Shee: I heard it was awful.
Su-Shee rindolf: it was totally brilliant, I _loved_ it.
rindolf Su-Shee: ah.
Su-Shee rindolf: I really loved my ass off, they had the exact right amount of disrespect for "uuuh ahhh culture! old languages! latin!" ;) 11:09
laughed of course. ;)
rindolf: marcus antonius and cleopatra totally stoned... watch it. :) 11:14
rindolf Su-Shee: Cleopatra was a bitch, BTW.
She was one of the most Evil women in history , IMO.
Su-Shee rindolf: well what do you expect from an imperial ruler and politician? ;) 11:15
rindolf Su-Shee: I guess.
Though some rulers were noble.
Su-Shee: Cleopatra was also Macedonian in origin. 11:16
She just married the the king Ptolmey of Egypt. 11:17
Ptolmey (sp?)
Ptolemy 11:18
Modern Hebrew speakers can understand a large part of the Bible. 11:20
Not all the words there.
But most of them.
Even though the grammar there is very different. 11:21
for example you said "And he will go" for "he went"
Or "and he went" for "he will go"
And it's Verb ; Subject ; Object

rindolf Hi all. 15:08
Su-Shee I hate C. I hate Gtk. I want a native Perl widget set. 15:09
rindolf Su-Shee: :-) 15:09
rindolf Su-Shee: including a native Perl XLib? 15:09
Su-Shee Yes, please. 15:10
rindolf Su-Shee: coming right up.
Su-Shee: not sure how fast it will be.
Juerd While you're at it, make it web hybrid :)
rindolf I think gtk+ tends to be kinda verbose.
Su-Shee: have you tried Qt?
Su-Shee rindolf: I don't have any qt apps so I don't use it.. right now I'm only at "trying to compile a more recent gtk version" ;) 15:11
and while I'm at complaining: sometimes I really hate re-use as well... this is a list of dependencies plainly killing me...
rindolf Su-Shee: slackware sucks. 15:12
Su-Shee: in Mandriva installing gtk+ is a simple urpmi command away.
Su-Shee: or upgrading it.
Su-Shee rindolf: please don't annoy me now with assumptions about slackware. ;) 15:13
rindolf Su-Shee: and on Mandriva/Debian/etc. I dislike polluting the main parition wiith installed files.
Su-Shee: then why don't you use a package manager to install the deps?
Su-Shee I don't pollute anything, I'm installing another gtk version into somewhere else for some experimental stuff. 15:14
rindolf Su-Shee: I see.
Su-Shee: then why don't you build it against the glib/gobject/etc of /usr?
Su-Shee rindolf: because I need them differently and elsewhere for a specific build enviroment...
rindolf Su-Shee: ah.
Did you write scripts for that?
Su-Shee not yet, it's the first build up to actually see what I really _have_ to package and script later. 15:15

sharada why no audreyt :( 16:08
JimmyZ sharada: He left Pugs 16:12
ruoso sharada, there's a rumor on her return to Perl 6 16:13
sharada thi isn't pugs ??
JimmyZ sharado: But I don't why.
pugs_svn r28123 | pmichaud++ | [t/spec]: The brackets metaoperator is "reduce", not "hyper".
ruoso .oO( A rumor herself started, I must say )
cognominal meaning rakudo or pugs? 16:14
JimmyZ ruoso: should be him, I think.
ruoso JimmyZ, I'm sorry, but that's not for you to decide
JimmyZ 唐宗汉？ 16:16
ruoso JimmyZ, I don't have the font to show that characters 16:16
JimmyZ ruoso: yes.
ruoso but I wouldn't probably understand it anyway...
sharada hi how is elf doing? 16:17
JimmyZ the chinese name of audreyt, I think.
cognominal c'est du chinois pour moi :)
sharada JimmyZ: I don't know what you are pushing
JimmyZ sharada: just ignore it. 16:18
ruoso JimmyZ, I really think the personal life of audrey doesn't need to be discussed here... specially in her absense...
JimmyZ ruoso: I have not discussed any life of him
or her.
TimToady she prefers her, so you should honor that 16:19
sharada such a annoying man JimmyZ lol
why not stop instead of telling me to ignore it
JimmyZ And then let's stopping talking about it.
good night to sharada and ruoso. 16:20
cognominal about her? :) 16:20
TimToady urgh
ruoso wishes to take back the last 2 minutes from his life
(maybe 10) 16:21
sharada I just read "My hobby: Troll hugging."
and I remembered about perl 6
cognominal nice to hear about her being back 16:22
TimToady audreyt has had to learn to pace herself to stay healthy; it's a tough lesson (I know from experience)
sharada It's been ages since I had been following Perl 6 I bet I missed out a lot
TimToady it continues to develop via a sort of flooding algorithm :) 16:23
sharada pace herself in terms of working too hard on programming projects?
ruoso you know it's failing when you got drown?
sharada hey TimToady that sounds nothing but good
JimmyZ TimToady: sorroy for that, I don't about it. in china, we use he. 16:24
cognominal perl gives yourselve enough rope rope the hang yourself, and now enough water to drown? 16:25
JimmyZ TimToady: s/sorroy/sorry/g
TimToady JimmyZ: no need to apologize for "it", I was urghing cognominal's bad joke
sharada Camelia is new to me 16:26
ruoso still missing :ignoreaccent in Perl 5... how do I get the position of the match in the replace part of a s/W/here/ge in Perl 5?
ruoso have to use Text::Unaccent, then match against the normalized string while modifying the original string 16:27
sharada has elf bootstapped the parser now?
cognominal in French I would have been unable to make such a stupid joke...
rindolf TimToady: did you see our earlier discussion about languages?
sharada before it was using a ruby program for parsing I think
sharada hurmm I am just causing problems here 16:32
mberends sharada: development of elf has stalled
sharada aww
why is that?
mberends the "bus number" was only 1, mncharity++ I think 16:33
TimToady not exactly stalled; mncharity is one of our "hares", as opposed to a tortoise 16:35
he just has a longer cycle than most
sharada: if you are the sort of person that worries about causing problems, then we *certainly* want you around here 16:36
ruoso scsys.co.uk:8001/33224 -- implementing :ignoreaccent by hand in Perl 5 16:40
cognominal ack++ # so useful to find ones way in big hierarchies
svarg anyone on a dell using BSD?
maybe not 16:43
ruoso feels a bit proud by being the one who suggested :ignorecase and :ignoreaccent as regex modifiers :P 16:52
synth i'm still waiting for INSERT QUARTER .. 16:54
moritz_ back 17:10
rindolf moritz_: hi.
pmichaud moritz_: wb
(afk, lunch) 17:11
rindolf TimToady: BTW, which OS+distro are you running?
TimToady can't talk now; teaching Sunday School 17:12
ruoso are you teaching Perl on Sunday School? :) 17:14
ruoso run and hides
Su-Shee hi moritz. 17:19
moritz_ good evening gentlmen and -women
rindolf moritz_: gentlemen and gentleladies. 17:24
moritz_ rindolf: in your book, maybe.
Su-Shee is pretty much working class anyway. ;)
rindolf Su-Shee: a gentleman should treat every woman like a queen. 17:27
If not more.
Unless she's Cleopatra.
On the other hand Cleopatra was a queen. 17:28
moritz_ since "gentlemen" sounds one step nicer than "men", it's either "ladies" or "gentlewomen". "gentleladies" would be two steps, and thus unfair against the men
rindolf Hmm... there's such a word as gentlewomen . 17:29
How strange.
Englishwomen
Frenchwomen
Valid words in my en_UK dictionary. 17:30
rindolf Frenglishwomen. 17:30
Frenglishmen.
Su-Shee rindolf: I settle for treated nicely, I don't like to live on pedestals. ;) 17:31
rindolf Su-Shee: OK.
rindolf Su-Shee: my C code has memleaks. 17:31
Su-Shee rindolf: also a nice day I see..
rindolf Su-Shee: :-) 17:32
Do you mean it's not unusual?
Su-Shee C.. I hate C.. I want perl-os. 17:33
moritz_ with encoding aware file names
rindolf Su-Shee: a Lisp machine. 17:34
Su-Shee: down to a hardware which C cannot run on too well. 17:35
Su-Shee: have you looked at Squeak Smalltalk?
Su-Shee: we'll also need to create a Perl-based vim clone.
Su-Shee: while normally I find Perl preferable, I can sometimes tolerate and enjoy writing C code. 17:36
Su-Shee rindolf: yes, I played with Squeak a little and yes I'd like a vim clone written in perl. 17:39
Makoryu Why isn't there one already, then? 17:42
(A vim clone in Perl) 17:43
Su-Shee good question. there's one in javascript :) 17:44
rindolf Su-Shee: actually , it's a vi clone. 17:48
Writing a vi clone is much easier than writing a vim clone. 17:49
Just like writing a Scheme clone is much easier than writing a Perl 6 implementation.
Unless you're Chuck Norris.
Su-Shee rindolf: darn.. he already write a vim in perl6? 17:51
wrote.
moritz_ no, he scared K&R into writing it ;-) 17:52
rindolf Su-Shee: Chuck Norris is the ghost author of the entire Debian GNU/Linux distribution. 17:52
Su-Shee: and he wrote it in 24 hours, while taking snack breaks. 17:53
Su-Shee rindolf: yes, I know - he published slackware under the pseudonym patrick volkerding...
rindolf Chuck Norris read the entire Wikipedia. Twice. 17:55
araujo the second time includes fixing all its errors 17:56
moritz_ but he didn't commmit his changes, it seems
rindolf moritz_: heh.
LOL.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=63ymR74im40 - Lamas (= llamas) Millionaire Quiz. 17:57
It's insanely funny.
rindolf It's the Dutch version of "Who's Line is it anyway?" 17:58
araujo Chuck Norris doesn't commit changes, the changes commit for me 17:59
araujo for him* 17:59
:)
rindolf Code is too scared of Chuck to be wrong. 18:00
It is generated right in the first time.
rindolf Bugs are too afraid to reproduce on Chuck Norris' computer. 18:01
Su-Shee .o(I see a chuck norris release on the horizon... ;)
rindolf Su-Shee: :-)
Su-Shee we could ask chuck norris if he's willing to promote the star release.. ;)) (which probably kill the entire internet due to laughter.. :) 18:03
araujo Perl 6 - A Chuck Norris like language 18:04
dukeleto Chuck Norris has actually been using Perl 6 since 1987, and has been waiting for Larry to play catch-up. :)
rindolf dukeleto: LOL. 18:05
Perl 6 - Kicks ass like Chuck.
Su-Shee rakudo - chuck's choice ;) 18:06
rindolf www.shlomifish.org/humour/fortunes/...rlsixifies 18:07
But today's session was funnier I think.
And also www.shlomifish.org/humour/fortunes/...refactorer 18:08
Su-Shee well, camelia and chuck norris go well together. ;)
rindolf OK.
Of course everybody know Chuck Norris is a real programmer. 18:09
He designs machines by combining individual atoms. 18:10
Using his thought.
Atoms obey Chuck Norris.
Su-Shee rindolf: you obviously have been starved and deprived of super hero comics in your childhood :) 18:11
rindolf Su-Shee: :-) 18:12
Su-Shee: I don't read a lot of comics.
Su-Shee: except Asterix, etc.
Su-Shee yeah, that's what I'm saying :))
rindolf Su-Shee: oh! And cartoons. 18:13
Su-Shee Asterix rocks big time. I still laugh about them every time.
rindolf Like Ozy&Millie, Garfield, Grand Avenue, etc.
Su-Shee: ah.
Su-Shee: do you read them in French?
Su-Shee rindolf: or in german.
rindolf I was told the Hebrew translation is better than the English one.
Or something like that.
Su-Shee I don't see "asterix in britain" being funny in english. ;) 18:14
rindolf Su-Shee: ah.
rindolf writes a Asterix does Asterisk comic.
The PBX.
rindolf Some obnoxious German lawyer sued the Mobilix site for being too similar a name to Obelix. 18:15
rindolf The German law allows anyone to sue people for alleged trademark violations and then if you succeed, you can demand service pay from the trademark owner. 18:16
There was also the think about KIllustrator.
Su-Shee: have you met any German KDE developers? 18:17
tuxmobil.org/mobilix_asterix.html
Su-Shee rindolf: I know one or two from conferences or such. 18:19
rindolf Su-Shee: ah.
Su-Shee: which ones?
pugs_svn r28124 | moritz++ | test that existing operators can be overloaded 18:31

phenny moritz_: I'll pass that on when azawawi is around.
moritz_ mp6: say("test") 18:57
it seems I dropped mp6 support from p6eval some time ago 18:58
colomon moritz_: I discovered this morning that the abs function seems to have the same issue the operators did... 19:32
moritz_ colomon: that you can't add multis? 19:34
colomon Yes. Does a Null PMC.
moritz_ that should be easily fixed by moving it to the setting 19:35
care to write a patch for that?
ouch
abs is a prefix ops right now
colomon I don't know where to move it from?
I wondered about that! 19:36
moritz_ wonders if that's correct
colomon TimToady said something about sin being an operator, and I extended it in my head....
I'm just now at the stage of messing around with the setting, I haven't peaked in any of the other Rakudo internals. 19:37
pmichaud many of Rakudo's builtins need to be moved into the setting 19:38
abs is actually prefix:<abs>
colomon Does that imply if you overload it, it also needs to be a prefix? 19:39
moritz_ where is that specced?
pmichaud STD.pm:3762
moritz_ ok
pmichaud token prefix:abs ( --> Named_unary) { <sym> » <?before \s*> }
I'm not sure how that should reconcile with 19:40
our Num multi method abs ( Num $x: ) is export # S32-numeric
moritz_ by the prefix dispatching to the method?
pmichaud sure, we could do that
but I don't think we can/should have both prefix:abs and method abs() is export 19:41
moritz_ it's what rakudo does now anyway
src/parser/grammar-oper.pg
75:proto prefix:<abs> is precedence('o=') is subname('abs') { ... }
pmichaud yes; rakudo was just following STD.pm here
moritz_ so should I preserve that while moving abs to the setting? 19:42
pmichaud I don't know. I'm not sure how to decide which operators are prefix and which are normal "is export" (more)
for example, what about exp() and log() ?
or sin() ? 19:43
moritz_ is in favour of having them all as ordinary subs
colomon Seems to me that if any of them are, all of them are.
pmichaud the problem with "ordinary subs" is that you lose the unariness
moritz_ I know
pmichaud i.e., sin $foo + 3
so perhaps we really do need both, and the prefix just redispatch to the method/function form 19:44
I'd go for that
colomon I don't see the benefit of having them be an operator, but I think TimToady had a reason...
moritz_ that reads ambiguously for me anway
pmichaud if abs $x > 0 { ... } 19:45
colomon Wonder if this is why I've been having trouble overloading sin....
pmichaud in this case you want abs to be prefix:<abs> and not a listop
because as a listop it parses as abs($x > 0) 19:46
colomon: you cannot overload any rakudo builtin that is written in PIR
moritz_ unless maybe with inline PIR 19:47
colomon Ah, and sin still is?
pmichaud at present we can only overload things that are in the setting, or have been specially written to be reblessed into Perl6MultiSub instead of parrot's MultiSub
colomon There is a Num.sin in the setting, and in fact I think I may have managed to write Complex.sin...
pmichaud checks
moritz_ colomon: in general just go into rakudo/src and then type 'ack -w sin' 19:48
pmichaud hmmm, I guess 'sin' isn't currently written in PIR
moritz_ (assuming you have ack installed. If not, it's high time to do so now :)
colomon "ack: command not found"
pmichaud it does look as though sin has been written in multiple locations. that might be a problem.
colomon where might I get ack? 19:49
moritz_ from CPAN 19:49
pmichaud cpan App::Ack is what i use
afk for a bit
moritz_ debian has the 'ack-grep' package
colomon MacPorts does not have it, alas. 19:52
But I will take a stab at just installing it from CPAN in a few minutes.
moritz_: Re: fixing these things myself -- what's the best way of handling the version control with that? 19:55
moritz_ colomon: you make your changes, test them, if everything is fine you commit them 'git commit -a' 19:56
colomon Should I fork rakudo on github?
moritz_ then you make a patch from it: 'git format-patch HEAD^'
colomon Ah! 19:57
I didn't know you could do that.
moritz_ then send that to [email@hidden.address] with [PATCH] included in the subject
after that I usually reset my repo to the previous state
git reset --hard HEAD^
svarg a quit is equivalent to a die()? 19:58
moritz_ no
afaict there's no quit() function in perl 6
svarg ah 19:59
svarg thats not what i meant 19:59
colomon moritz_++ 20:00
svarg moritz_ die() is what i mean 20:01
moritz_ then I don't understand the question
svarg i meant a quit is equivalent to die();
a die() function no? 20:02
just some humour
svarg shakes up moritz_
moritz_ non-obvious humour carries badly over IRC without smilies 20:05
svarg lol
colomon moritz_: First patch should be coming through soon. Please let me know if it looks like I got the formating okay and all. 20:40
moritz_ sure, I'll try to give feedback asap 20:41
pmichaud colomon: did you send it yet?
#66864, looks like 20:42
colomon Yes.
(Don't know if that is the number, but I sent it about 5 minutes ago.)
pmichaud patch looks fine to me
colomon Is the e-mail okay? 20:43
pmichaud looks correct to me
colomon Danke.
moritz_ spectests 20:44
colomon I'm definitely starting to like git. 20:46
M_o_C Question: Does infix imply that a function (or does that term only exist for operators?) only takes two arguments? (In a theoretic context, independent from how perl6 does it) 20:49
moritz_ M_o_C: no
M_o_C s/(only) (exist)/\2 \1/ 20:50
moritz_ M_o_C: if an infix is :assoc<list>, it can take an arbitrary number of arguments
M_o_C And how would that syntactically look like?
(When calling that function)
moritz_ sub infix:<foo> is assoc<list> (*@args) { ... }; 1 foo 2 foo 3 foo 4 20:51
M_o_C Ah, ok
moritz_ infix:<,> is the prime example of a list associative operator 20:52
moritz_ @seen masak 20:59
lambdabot I saw masak leaving #perl6 4d 23h 15m 59s ago, and .

pugs_svn r28126 | moritz++ | [t/spec] unfudge some newly passing tests for complex powers
svarg just wondering 21:25
1 ne 2 is correct in perl? 21:26
the syntax
ne being not equal
moritz_ rakudo: say 1 ne 2
p6eval rakudo 0d4fe0: OUTPUT«1␤»
svarg meaning?
moritz_ "1 is not equal 2" is true 21:27
colomon surely want 1 != 2 ?
svarg so we can use 1 ne 2?
and it works?
woah
so moritz_ ne has something to do with strings only? 21:29
M_o_C svarg: Rakudo already answered that question when you told it do compute 1 ne 2. 21:32
svarg oh its just that someone told me it wasnt right since it had something to dow ith strings
moritz_ svarg: yes, 'ne' converts both arguments to strings and then comparse them inequality 21:35
frettled Good evening (I hope)
svarg but moritz_ using 1 ne 2 didnt look wrong here 21:37
so we're good to go then
basically 1 ne 2 it only works for strings not ints does it?
svarg if ("xx xx" ne "xx xx ") { 21:38
rather than ints, being
ie: if (1 != 2) {
right?
moritz_ well, 1 and 2 are inequal both when compared as numbers and as strings 21:39
whereas "0.0" and "0" are different when compared as strings, and equal when compared as numbers 21:40
svarg as i remember, there is a difference between comparing strings vs ints.
ah
i believe it actually compares their ascii values, though not sure. 21:41
moritz_ not quite
it compares graphemes, in theory
svarg ah 21:42
i do remember something as strings/ints are compared differently, so it may be that "ne" is for ints and "!=" is for strings 21:43
no?
moritz_ no, the other way round.
svarg or vice versa
moritz_ you can just try those things out: 21:44
rakudo: say "1.0" == "1"
p6eval rakudo 0d4fe0: OUTPUT«1␤»
moritz_ rakudo: say "1.0" eq "1"
p6eval rakudo 0d4fe0: OUTPUT«0␤»
svarg ah
ok

Is it intended to be in simplified form? So that 1/4 + 1/4 == 1/2 instead of 2/4s? 22:59
