cognominal masak : small programs are beautiful but it needs large languages :) 01:12
masak cognominal: maybe so. :)
arnsholt masak: It's an interesting point, but I don't agree with him in everything 01:13
masak I'm sort of hoping Perl 6 will turn out to be a small language hidden inside a large language.
arnsholt For one, shell and friends is ugly and clunky as sin
masak indeed. 01:14
how come shell languages are so ugly?
arnsholt And Lisp, while a very cool language, offends my aesthetic sensibilities (TimToady said something about toenail clippings and oatmeal, if memory serves)
masak arnsholt: I personally am not disturbet by the parentheses in Lisp. 01:15
arnsholt The parens are fine as such. It's just that everything looks the same (which is the point too), which makes it a lot harder to grasp the structure of the program, IMO
masak they are a consession for the compiler to eliminate the concept of precedence entirely, and they basically 'melt away' with good indentation. 01:16
yes, everything looking the same is a point I can understand and sympathise with.
arnsholt OTOH, the syntax (or lack thereof) does give you the possibility of Lisp macros, and they are mega-awesome 01:17
masak :)
arnsholt Returning to the post, I think he's right that bigger languages are in the future 01:18
masak wonders what size of languages artificial intelligences will prefer 01:19
arnsholt I can sympathise with his preference for minimalist languages like C, but when he mentions the search for a small as possible set of types and operations, I can't help but think of Russell and the search for the axiomatisation of mathematics
A wonderful idea, but blown to bits by Gödel
masak I don't know about that. 01:20
arnsholt AIs will probably use something weird
Of course, programming languages being Turing complete won't run into the same problem
cognominal In his paper, Pike says "the art is gone". Is not Perl 6 about art? :)
arnsholt But it's definitely a positivist trait

Wolfman2000 of course, I may not be compiling the same options as you or something... (I just use the normal instructions)
masak oh, me too. 02:05
and in my experience, that has never been the cause of differences before. 02:06
blog post idea: Perl 6 is a result of looking at the corners on which people hurt themselves on Perl 5, and reshaping the language so that it doesn't hurt that way. the PerlMonks meditation at perlmonks.org/?node_id=525392 is a beautiful example, together with the last comment. "It appears you've just [made Perl 6 hurt less by telling us about how you got hurt on Perl 5]". 02:12

Wolfman2000 colomon: hang on
...who is supposed to do Day 6 again?
colomon mathw 02:29
mine could go up instead in a pinch.
masak that is an attractive option. it's nice to have a post waiting for people when they wake up. 02:30
Wolfman2000 still previewing: hang on
masak I'll give it a look as well.
Wolfman2000 ...what is this [sourcecode] thing? 02:32
colomon masak: agreed. unfortunately mathw went to bed about fifteen minutes before I could ask him how his post was coming. 02:33
masak yeah, I saw that.
colomon Wolfman2000: look at the preview. [sourcecode] blocks are formatted as source code. It's quite nice. 02:34
TimToady the :action vs :actions was question PM-7
masak colomon: I say go for it. change the title to 'Day 6' and change days with mathw.
TimToady: ah, that's why I remembered it... vaguely.
Wolfman2000 I'm presently in the edit mode: I can do so.
02:35 synth joined
masak I see I made a change that goes against Pm-7. I'll change it back. 02:35
colomon If you guys agree and can give it a quick once over to check my sanity, sure, we can run it for day 6. It actually is a sensible follow-up to day 5 anyway... 02:36

PerlJam Hrm... 04:56
I just realized something. If we're casting Perl 6 as another language in the Perl family of languages, then saying "obsolete use of ..." is probably not quite the right thing to say 04:57
masak well, it's obsolete from the timeline of Perl 6. 04:58
PerlJam Ask mst what he thinks about it :) 04:59
masak all that's happened is that we have two timelines nowadays; two versions of Perl history, as it were.
I will ask him.
'obsolete' just means 'we used to do that, and now we try to avoid it for whatever reason'. 05:00
if you accept that the Perl 6 timeline runs back into the Perl 5 one before the fork, it's a valid use of the word. 05:01
...I think. :)

mdxi speaking of the advent calendar, is there a way to disable the annoying screenshot popups on link text? or am i the only one who despises those? 05:15
Wolfman2000 PerlJam: two of my websites have been moved over to NFS. Unfortunately, it looks like using frameworks such as Catalyst is a no go at this time.
PerlJam mdxi: um ... what are you talking about?

PerlJam Ah ... I wasn't seeing it hovering over the first link.
But there's a link in the lower right corner of the popup that says "turn site preview off" 05:17
mdxi vamped: you're right. i think i read the others in w3m (oops)
masak mdxi: you're not the only one who despises those screenshots, no.
PerlJam isn't a fan of them either 05:18

mdxi yeah, i jsut found it thanks to PerlJam
masak mdxi: don't know how one'd turn them off in Wordpress.

masak they *are* annoying, though. :)
mdxi i had been just scribbling my mouse around to make them go away. didn't actually inspect them. 05:19

masak no, they are bad widgets.
mdxi i violated Good Bug Report Standards, which i have frequently yelled at people about. karma is inescapable :) 05:20
PerlJam found the option to disable them.
vamped oh please tell! 05:21
masak whatever Good Bug Report Standards are, I'm not sure they hold for applications you didn't ask for. :)

i've disabled them already too 05:22

what made us peak on 2009-12-02 with 1080 views? was it a wave of people discovering the calendar for the first time and then not coming back? 05:23

colomon This was in ng. :) I'm afraid at the moment, ng makes super easy things cool, easy things hard, and hard things beyond impossible. 16:11
pmichaud having seen the many changes to the perl 6 spec over the last month, restarting development with ng was absolutely the right move. I'm not sure we could manage the transitions in the master branch. 16:17
slavik pmichaud: rakudong? 16:18
pmichaud slavik: yes
slavik will it have proper install packages?
colomon pmichaud: oh sure, I agree ng was absolutely the right thing to do. It's just a bugger to program in right now. :) 16:19
pmichaud slavik: how do you mean "proper install packages"?
slavik pmichaud: correct make install that checkinstall can make rpm/deb packages out of :P

mathw it's done 17:13
phenny mathw: 03:12Z <colomon> tell mathw I had my Day 7 post ready to go this evening, so swapped with you. You're up for day 7 now. Hope that is okay.
mathw scheduled in
Wolfman2000 nice timing mathw
mathw I was rather startled by colomon's swapping
Wolfman2000 what's your time zone again?
mathw GMT
Wolfman2000 the usual goal for us has been to get out the posts within the first hour of the new GMT day
mathw yes I should really have written it and scheduled it last night 17:14
Wolfman2000 it's alright...don't worry about it

colomon jnthn, pmichaud, etc: I'm still getting very frequent crashes in ng. 17:31
If someone can clue me in on how to build with GDB debugging info in parrot, I think I can probably produce some useful GDB backtraces and valgrind runs. 17:32
17:33 brrant left
mberends colomon: add -ggdb to the gcc compiler options 17:36
arnsholt colomon: If you get the help info from Parrot's config script there's an option to enable debugging symbols 17:37
jnthn colomon: I think we build an optimized Parrot by default on some platforms, which probably disables debugging info.
arnsholt Then you can pass that to Rakudo's configure
jnthn Well, it may do anyways... 17:38
jnthn knows on his platform that it can be a case of choosing debug info or optimized build.

--debugging=0 Disable debugging, default = 1 17:51
Does that mean -- debugging=0 disables debugging, or --debugging=1 disables debuging? 17:52
is parrot build with debugging by default?

18:21 mikehh_ left
mberends abbe: searching irclog seems not to find the issue, but it was something about freebsd 8.0 having a slightly outdated gcc (4.2x) with a bug. your best option would be to somehow install a newer gcc. 18:25
abbe mberends: yes, I know freebsd has 4.2.1, i'm wondering if there is some workaround patch which I can apply to rakudo source for that 18:26
I want to avoid depending on GCC, if possible at all.

lisppaste3 colomon pasted "unpolar.t crash" at paste.lisp.org/display/91689 19:18
colomon now with better debugging info....
arnsholt Hmm. 0x48 looks like a weird memory address 19:20
Perhaps an unitialised variable?
jnthn colomon: Hmm. I think I saw another stack trace not so long ago that also looked like that. :-/ 19:22
colomon also from me, or... ?
jnthn colomon: Maybe.
colomon I've dumped up a bunch over the last week or so. 19:23
jnthn colomon: It's not blindingly obvious from the stack trace where exactly the problem is.
colomon: The interesting bit is where we've been leading up to that point.
arnsholt Good question. I suppose it could be, but my first guess would be that this comes from inside Parrot
colomon I've still got gdb sitting open at the crash, so if there's anything I can run there that would help you...
moritz_ colomon: just read your calendar post - colomon++
arnsholt colomon: How big is the function it fails in?
jnthn arnsholt: It does, right.
colomon moritz_: danke.
moritz_ colomon: just one minor nit: (1, 2, 3)».++ isn't supposed to work 19:24
jnthn arnsholt: The question is, did it go somewhere in Rakudo beforehand.
moritz_ colomon: ++ needs an lvalue, and a literal number is not writable
colomon moritz_: I was wondering about that last night.
no one was on-line who knew.
moritz_ you could write that >>.succ though
jnthn arnsholt: And did something we did in Rakudo break it.
arnsholt: Or is it completely a Parrot bug.
Wolfman2000 and my final results of make testing git... 19:25
colomon jnthn, arnsholt: I think it's a rakudo ng bug.
Wolfman2000 2 fixes, 4656 successes, 11 brokens
arnsholt jnthn: If it's an unitialised variable I think it has to be a Parrot bug
colomon The crashes in the file seem to depend on what is compiled later on in the file, if that makes any sense.
moritz_ rakudo also has some C code, which could be buggy
arnsholt From the stack trace, c isn't an argument to the function, and the return value is c->current_sig
colomon In this case, the file worked, I added a second case, and now it dies before the first case finishes. 19:26
carlin abbe: I also get a segfault compiling rakudo on 8.0
abbe carlin: you know of that workaround...?
arnsholt colomon: Anyways, try to see if c being uninitialised is possible with the flow of the function
lisppaste3 colomon annotated #91689 "code that's failing" at paste.lisp.org/display/91689#1 19:27
abbe carlin: I'm trying to port it to freebsd...
colomon With just the first is_approx there, the code works. With the second one added, the code fails BEFORE the first one has printed out its test message.
And as I said, this sort of thing has been happening to me a *lot* in ng. 19:28
arnsholt: "c"?
arnsholt colomon: From the gdb trace you posted, it failed on this statement: "return c->current_sig;"
19:29 constant left
arnsholt And the error was a protection failure trying to access address 0x00000048 19:29
Which means that c has to point at 0x48, which is an invalid memory location 19:30
abbe A work around I came across is removing all -W switches, and just keeping '-Wall', but wondering if it generates good code ?
colomon The previous line is Parrot_Context const *c = get_context_struct_fast(interp, ctx);
abbe good as in safe, reliable.
colomon I'm pretty much completely ignorant of parrot internals, so I've no idea if that is supposed to return null or not. 19:31
arnsholt: if it would help, I can rerun that code under valgrind and see what it says.
arnsholt colomon: Might be worth a try. Hopefully it'll complain about jumps depending on uninitialised bytes somehwere in get_context_struct_fast() or below it 19:32
colomon firing it up now, usually takes a few minutes.

off the top of my head, we could probably win back a bunch of tests by systematically doing what you did to ord to other functions. There are fudged named argument tests all over the test suite, on functions that otherwise work. 21:13
Actually, "win back" isn't appropriate for a lot of those, which never worked in rakudo as far as I know. 21:14

Wolfman2000 Alright, time to prepare my posting...and honestly, I'll need some assistance for part of it. 21:28
colomon Wolfman2000: mathw's post is ready to go for today, it appears. 21:29
Wolfman2000 colomon: right. Well, I'll get mine ready now for tomorrow then
colomon mathw: I just spent day 6 telling people not to do @a>>.say. :)
mathw: also, in the ^$n paragraph, the last character is lost. 21:30
Wolfman2000 ...I may be able to use >>. somehow. At least, if I can figure out how to change my .map version
colomon mathw: other than that, very nice post! methodical and clear, IMO.
carlin abbe: np, it certainly is a weird gcc bug 21:32
moritz_ "This could have been written using a bare <code>say</code> subroutine call, but I prefer the method call syntax." 21:34
not true.
not in Perl 6
abbe carlin: www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=ports/139010 www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=ports/139012 the updated PR will appear here in few minutes.
moritz_ mathw: mind if I remove that sentence? 21:36
mathw it's not true? 21:37
moritz_ rakudo: for 1..4 { say }
p6eval rakudo 7ef386: say requires an argument at line 2, near "}"␤in Main (file src/gen_setting.pm, line 2610)␤
mathw cool
I like Perl 6 a little more
moritz_ oh, one more thing
^@array.elems Z @array
can even be written nicer
as @array.kv
mathw I think that requires a new paragraph 21:38
as it's a progression from the original idea
so I'll add one for it when you've removed that sentence
and as for not using >>.say, it should work fine if your I/O system thinks in lines, and you don't care about ordering... 21:39
although >>.say is likely to be rare, ithink
>>.something-else-which-doesnt-do-IO is more likely I think :)

Wolfman2000 ah, here's what I was looking for... [sourcecode light="true"] 21:40
moritz_ mathw: I'm storing the post right now, but it takes ages :/ 21:41

slow bad
but we can cope
moritz_ that's the /. effect

moritz_ still I'm amazed the site is still up :-) 21:41
done 21:42
Wolfman2000 moritz_: preparing my draft as you guys speak
haven't been affected that much
moritz_ mathw: I also changed ^@array.elems Z @array to @array.kv
mathw as I said, iwas going to add another paragraph for that
moritz_ oh, I thought you meant the other thing (empty say) 21:43
mathw heh
I'll sort it out

That's a gift for another day. :)

Juerd_ I finally found out why I don't like python's ":".join(list) 21:57
Wolfman2000 Juerd_: counterintuitive?
Juerd_ You can't do foo.split(":").join(":").split(":").join(":")...
So here's a rule: opposite operations should be stackable as methods :) 21:58
Tene moritz_: would a simple &fail that just throws an exception be okay for now? 22:00
could be caught with try { ... }
22:01 synth joined
moritz_ Tene: making it an alias for return Mu; would be a better stopgap solution, I think 22:01
Tene Oh?
Okay, I can do that.
slavik Juerd_: python in general is proud to be dumb
GIL?! 22:02
Tene slavik: rakudo can't do threads *at all*
slavik Tene: not yet :P
Juerd_ slavik: Python is certainly not dumb.
slavik Tene: what's the point of having threads if they aren't concurrent? why not just go back to Solaris ...
Juerd_ slavik: It has a few design bugs. So does Perl 5. And, as I'm sure we'll eventually discover, so will Perl 6.
slavik Juerd_: GIL is there by design 22:03
Juerd_ I don't know what GIL is
Do you know what a design bug is? :)
Tene global interpreter lock

p6eval rakudo 7ef386: Perl6␤
Juerd_ Wolfman2000: Did you know the bot also responds to private messages? :)
Wolfman2000 Juerd_: ...that may be useful.
slavik I also dislike the almost java like + for string cat 22:06
it should be either explicit like Perl or automatically converted like Java
Juerd_ sighs
Wolfman2000 Python is an interesting beast.
moritz_ slavik: did you mean javascript?
slavik "val = " + str(some_val) + "\n" is messed up IMO
Juerd_ Context is great. Most languages don't have it. 22:07
slavik moritz_: javascript as well. I mean how Java does an auto .toString() for any object that you try to cat to a string
Juerd_ dog

22:08 wayland76 joined
slavik like: int a = 5; System.out.println("" + a); will wrap the 'a' in Integer class and call .toString() on it 22:08
Tene: I am done :P
Wolfman2000 carlin++: ...I think I like that even more.
Tene We all do it a bit, but it's not quite the spirit we want for our community. :)
Wolfman2000 I'm going to borrow that for my post tomorrow.

Wolfman2000 To all Perl 6 Advent admins and editors: my Day 8 post is ready for critiquing. 22:11
...ah. So THAT'S how I was supposed to do it...? 22:13
alright, which to PM
foudfou hi all, I was wondering: is there a chance to see the statement ending semi-colons as optional ? 22:14
moritz_ foudfou: no
foudfou :-)
moritz_ foudfou: only those preceeding a curly brace at the end of a line
22:14 jonathanturner joined 22:15 zamolxes left
jonathanturner The Perl 6 Advent thing was a cool idea. I'm sure it's getting a lot of people playing with the current Perl6 builds 22:15
Tene foudfou: it's not likely you'll win much support for that as a lgobal language change, but you could certainly write a module that implements that change in a defined lexical scope with macros.
Wolfman2000 ...alright, I need more assistance from the experts. Presently, I'm using .map { method } over >>.method. I'm trying to figure out the right way of implementing it with my upcoming post. 22:16
jonathanturner: If nothing else, we've got a lot of people now due to Slashdot
Tene foudfou: use OptionalSemis; # Semicolons are optional after this, until the end of the scope
Wolfman2000: you need a leading . on method
moritz_ jonathanturner: nearly 3k visitors from slashdot today, YaY

Tene Ah. 22:17
Wolfman2000 I want to use the hyperoperator.
but in this case, I need to use...well, let me PM you
jonathanturner just had a quick question on the zip operator... if I do: ([1, 2, 3] Z [4, 5, 6]).perl.say I get [1, 4, 2, 5, 3, 6] instead of [(1, 4), (2, 5), (3, 6)]. is this flattening normal, or am I just reading it wrong? 22:18
moritz_ jonathanturner: it's a limitation in rakudo right now
22:18 snearch left
moritz_ jonathanturner: it doesn't implement slices yet, which would be needed for the correct semantics 22:19
jonathanturner moritz_: how involved is the implementation side of it? might be a fun project to help with 22:20
22:20 Limbic_Region joined
moritz_ jonathanturner: I don't really know; I guess pmichaud is the right person to ask 22:20

moritz_ Wolfman2000: then at least put it in a paste bin and link to it, or so

moritz_ (and I also fixed KyleHa's name in the post :-)
wayland76 I didn't submit to Slashdot
But I saw the article, and dropped by in case we needed help explaining things to visitors 22:47
Wolfman2000 then why does it say posted by timothy?
22:47 r0bby joined
moritz_ Wolfman2000: I think there's more than one timothy in the world :-) 22:47
wayland76 Seeing as how the name is in the Bible, it crops up in cultures all around the world where Christianity has been an influence
In this case, it appears to have been "Timothy Lord", who is not to be confused with "Timothy Nelson" (the latter is me :) ) 22:49
