lichtkind me either just checking here before writing it down into the tablets
masak do the tablets only contain working Rakudo features?
lichtkind no
but i try to nail it down 00:59
masak that's good.
00:59 bluescreen joined
masak kudos. lichtkind++ 00:59
lichtkind to get more juice out of it then synopses
00:59 bluescreen is now known as Guest94843
masak yes, they synopses are a bit dry sometimes. 00:59
they're meant to be. 01:00
lichtkind of course, but my focus are more perl 6 starters
that know some perl 5
or ar least have some fundamental understanding of computer languages 01:01
masak *nod*
lichtkind curretnly opened a new tablets with basics all the literals quoting comments
it getting recently into some decent shape even only 35% content is there 01:02

lichtkind thats curretnly the main advantage over syntopses: you could go just to index and search a thing by name and jump into spot where it is explained 01:03

colomon hmmm
lichtkind colomon: its bit more than the since qq doesnt work like qw// 01:20
<<>> is like qw with the abilities of qq
colomon I have to admit I'm not sure what qw does. 01:21
lichtkind colomon: almost like in P5 @words = qw/ a beautiful butterfly went over the fence/; 01:51
colomon quote words! right.
lichtkind colomon: just check the section in tablet 2 thats written in few minutes :)
colomon so << >> constructs a list of words, but with interpolation?
lichtkind bingo
colomon is the splitting into words before or after interpolation? 01:53
"The implicit split is done after interpolation"
rakudo: my $b =1; my %h = 1..6; say qq<<3>>; 01:54
p6eval rakudo : OUTPUT«3␤»

colomon hmmm... LHF?
lichtkind no thats correct list in hash context 3 => 4 01:55
colomon I mean <<$b>> might be LHF. 01:56
Obviously the basic structure is in the grammar, now it just needs to do the right thing.

is there any easiest way to ceiling a *Num* into specific digit number? for example: 125 to 100 when for 3 digits. 07:17

thundergnat The spec says to return an object that reponds appropriately to the calling context, but leaves implementation as an excercise for the reader. :- 14:43
And while that is fine, it would be nice to get a hint about how to actually do it... 14:44
colomon [Coke]: I seem to recall bumping into that sometime, but don't remember the exact circumstances at the moment. 14:45
thundergnat: I agree. I suspect the answer is to declare a class which has the appropriate .list, .Bool, .Str, etc methods. But I've never tried doing it in this way, and I'm not 100% sure what is required. Seems like a good thing to make sure we have a working example for. 14:48

who'd be happier if it numified instead?
flussence rakudo: say rand(900..1000) #?
p6eval rakudo : OUTPUT«===SORRY!===␤Unsupported use of rand(N); in Perl 6 please use N.rand or (1..N).pick at line 22, near "(900..1000"␤»
moritz_ would just spec it to return a value between the end points 15:42
jnthn moritz_: That'd make sense.
masak let's do that, then.
moritz_ but only for numeric ranges
jnthn Just curious what if anything the spec says.
masak moritz_: yes.
TimToady that doesn't make sense to me
moritz_ jnthn: I can't remember that it says anything about it
jnthn hehe :)
masak un-submits rakudobug
jnthn moritz_: Me either. 15:43
thundergnat so A::B is old.., is it now illegal?
moritz_ otoh note that @array.rand can't do anything sensible but numifying first
flussence having Range.rand work that way looks nice, but sometimes you really want the array index.
thundergnat or meaningless at least?
masak maybe Range.rand should warn or die. 15:44
flussence or have a flag for "give me the value of whatever index you pick, I don't care!"
moritz_ flussence: that's what .pick is for
masak .rand would select something on the continuous interval instead. 15:45
tadzik > Range.rand
Type objects are abstract and have no attributes, but you tried to access $!excludes_min
hm?
masak TimToady: I'd be interested to hear why it doesn't make sense for you.
tadzik: it's a figure of speech :)
moritz_ tadzik: it numifies, and for numifying it accesses an attribute
tadzik :)
masak tadzik: I meant on an instantiated Range object.
TimToady it doesn't make sense because I haven't had my coffee yet 15:46
15:46 wtw left
tadzik maybe it should be an alias for .pick 15:46
moritz_ can wait to hear TimToady's post-coffee opinion :-)
tadzik: that would be very confusing 15:47
TimToady I do have a question though; how would you distinguish (1..2).rand from (1..^2).rand?
moritz_ tadzik: .pick is something discrete, .rand something continuous
TimToady: one can return 2, the other not
just like rand() in perl 5 can return 0, but not 1
15:47 phio left
TimToady how would you write a function that can return 1? 15:48
what is its probability?
moritz_ I wouldn't
masak me neither.
moritz_ since its probability is asymtotically 0, I'd just never return the bounds 15:49
and it'd be correct even if .rand were allowed to return them
masak I'd return the lower bound, but only with epsilon probability like all the other values.
15:49 Psyche^ joined, Psyche^ is now known as Patterner
masak and I wouldn't care about whether the endpoints were included or not. 15:49
TimToady epsilon is a funny thing on a computer
moritz_ if you have a fixed representation, you can calculate your epsilon 15:50
15:50 jjore left 15:51 mtk left
TimToady another consideration is that if they say (1..2).rand they may very well mean (1..^2).rand 15:52
human nature being fallible and all 15:53
15:53 mtk joined, xinming joined
moritz_ just always exclude the end points in .rand, and everbody is happy 15:55
TimToady thing is, you can define ($a ..^ $b).rand as ($b-$a).rand + $a, but you can't do the same with .. 15:56
you can't exclude the lower endpoint generally, or the randomicity wonks will come and shoot you
moritz_ hm 15:57
TimToady .. has to know epsilong, while ..^ doesn't
*lon
dukeleto Shortest Math Joke Ever: Let epsilon be a small negative number ... 16:00
TimToady I suppose ^.. doesn't need espilon either, but ^..^ does again
interestingly, if we define Range.rand, then 42.rand is the same as (^42).rand 16:02
16:05 Patterner left 16:06 Psyche^ joined, Psyche^ is now known as Patterner
masak I still vote for ignoring the endpoint information. 16:06
makes it much easier, and the user will hardly notice anyway.
colomon jnthn:
make PAST::Op.new( :inline( $<quote_EXPR>.ast.value ),
:pasttype('inline'),
:node($/) );
masak this confuses me. what does he mean? twitter.com/VienosNotes/status/12537502397104129
does he want an integer from Range.rand?
colomon jnthn: Does that mean the real code is in NQP? 16:07
TimToady it would be more conservative to die on .. or ^..^ with an apropriate message, and reserve the ability to do them "right" later
mathw masak: I would read it to say that he wants Range.rand to return a random number which fits within the range 16:08
I don't think that necessarily means it's an integer...
maybe
it's a bit unclear
masak mathw: ok.
colomon rakudo: say 4.Int.rand
p6eval rakudo : OUTPUT«0.527294043813413␤»
masak oh!
yes, that's what he means.
and that's what I meant to begin with.
and that's what we've been talking about... :) 16:09
TimToady well, one way to implement .. even if we don't know the epsilon of the underlying generator is to add a delta that is larger than any likely epsilon, then repeat if that generates something out of range 16:11
likewise, ^..^ can be implement by repeating ..^ if we happen to get the lower bound 16:12
colomon question for the TDD fanatics in the audience: how do you test if (N .. M).rand returns M properly? 16:13
TimToady ^.. is implemented in terms of ..^ by subtraction
colomon: make the underlying RNG pluggable 16:14
flussence colomon: LD_PRELOAD a library that overrides libc's rand to always return maximum
(even if it's cheating to do so)
colomon Doesn' 16:15
Doesn't seem like either of those actually tests the matter at hand.
I mean, it's turtles all the way down.
TimToady PRNGs generally return integers, and if you know the size of the integers, you know the epsilon 16:16
if you can cut the size of the integers, you can magnify the epsilon
colomon Huh. So that implies the real problem is that not all expressible Nums between 0 and 1 are equally likely?
(from plain rand, I mean.) 16:17
jnthn colomon: Hmm, where is that from? (which action method)
colomon jnthn: quote:sym<Q:PIR>
jnthn colomon: Is it the Q:PIR one?
Ah
moritz_ colomon: depending on the used data types, not all Num values are possible
flussence usually "good enough" is good enough for most users of rand() :)
moritz_ and all others use their own library anyway 16:18
jnthn colomon: quote_EXPR itself is inherited from, iirc, HLL::Grammar and HLL::Actions.
colomon: Which is in the nqp-rx repo.
colomon jnthn: I'm trying to figure how qq works. So that I can try to make qqw work
TimToady all PRNGs I'm aware of make all 0 ..^ $n integers equally likely, or at least try to
moritz_ integers yes 16:19
jnthn colomon: See quote_EXPR and all the quote_[mod|...other stuff...] bits in HLL::Grammar and HLL::Actions.
colomon: quote_EXPR takes argument
*arguments
colomon: Which indicate what kind of parsing it does.
moritz_ but the floats you get by $rand/$rand_max don't map well to all floats in the 0..^1 range
16:19 risou joined
jnthn colomon: And how it treats things. 16:19
colomon TimToady: what moritz_ said. 16:20
jnthn: thanks.
jnthn++
TimToady but you will get $n different floats, if you have more float precision than integer 16:21
and each of those floats will have equal probability
they're just scattered around their real values by fp distortion
moritz_ right
colomon my point here is that if you choose an arbitrary Num between 0 and 1, odds are that it can NEVER be generated by $rand / $rand_max. 16:23
masak I'm starting to wonder whether it's worth it. :(
maybe just throw a very nice error message that explains to the user how to do the appropriate subtractions and scalings by hand.
TimToady at which point they'll just monkey patch Range :)
moritz_ would rather have a Range.rand that might mis-treat the ends points than no sensible Range.rand at all 16:24
TimToady differently from the next guy
colomon huh. actually, can we get at the internal RNG that generates Ints? If we're accepting $rand / $rand_max as good enough, it's trivial to make it include the top of the range as well.
masak as long as we put it in the spec/manual, mistreatment of the endpoint is fair game IMO
TimToady colomon: that's what I think 16:25
moritz_ colomon: in the end I'd like the RNG exposed to the user anyway, with the option of creating multiple instances
16:25 rgrau left
colomon +1 16:25
TimToady and to use the repick methods, you really only need to have order of magnitude on $n so you don't pick a stupid delta
moritz_ it needs to exist anyway in some code somewhere :-)
TimToady well, any given power-of-two rng can be sized probabilistically even if there's no API to tell you its max 16:27
every time you generate one, there's 50% chance it'll be in its upper range 16:28
colomon huh. so really, Range.roll should be the fundamental RNG for p6, no?
TimToady or Int.roll
moritz_ colomon: something like that
colomon (I mean, that's the functionality we want -- return an Int between 0 and N)
moritz_ right 16:29
TimToady sounds fair
moritz_ the API itself will involve state that the PRNG has to store between two calls
TimToady the PRNG is really Int.roll(*) :)

moritz_ it is a nice interface
TimToady and like Int.rand
but an int might be a degenerate list
moritz_ you can enhance it with :seed($your_seed)

jnthn: oh right. yes, 'course.
jnthn masak: But it's correct that it appears in the signature.
masak but even that is known and reported.
jnthn Right
But the appearance of it in the signature isn't a bug at all. :)
masak I don't mind it appearing in the signature.
I mind the error messages being stupid.
jnthn I don't think it is. 16:56
masak a good error message *must* know the distinction between a sub and a method, otherwise it'll confuse the user.
jnthn That's only true if the user thinks of the invocant as more to the target method than just a magical first parameter.
masak the burden of knowing that a method is "just a funny subroutine" with an extra, hidden parameter, should not be put on the confused newbie. 16:57
rakudo: class A { method foo() {} }; A.new.foo("OH HAI")
p6eval rakudo : OUTPUT«Too many positional parameters passed; got 2 but expected 1␤ in 'A::foo' at line 22:/tmp/kEMy0JFPVR␤ in main program body at line 22:/tmp/kEMy0JFPVR␤»
masak "expected 1".
that's what I'm talking about.
the method *clearly* has no parameters!
I just wrote an empty set of parens. 16:58
jnthn :/
masak and yes, I do know the underlying model that causes this, and it still sucks.
jnthn Yes, but then people write: class A { method foo($foo:) {} }; A.new.foo("OH HAI")
masak right. 16:59
jnthn And get an error saying it expected 1 and got 0...when they clearly did write a parameter.
masak so maybe the invocant parameter should be mentioned explicitly?
"expected 0 (and an invocant)"
TimToady "got 0 (plus invocant)"
jnthn Dunno. Can sorta see the argument for doing something in the error, but "just subtract one from the number" is too simplistic.
masak aye. 17:00
jnthn The signature object does know that the first parameter is an invocant parameter.
TimToady: Yes, something like that.
masak then it's at least theoretically possible.
jnthn Yes. The patch wants to go in bind.c. ;)
masak I'll keep that in mind. :)
TimToady it would also be nice to remember the declarator so you can say "sub" or "method" or whatever
masak oh, indeed. 17:01
jnthn TimToady: We know the current routine, so we can just go look at its type.
So that info is already available too :)
I think backtraces already do that fwiw.
rakudo: class A { method m() { die "painfully" } }; sub foo { A.m }; foo(); 17:02
TimToady does the type always distinguish the declarator?
p6eval rakudo : OUTPUT«painfully␤ in 'A::m' at line 22:/tmp/7vk9DEgBzu␤ in 'foo' at line 22:/tmp/7vk9DEgBzu␤ in main program body at line 22:/tmp/7vk9DEgBzu␤»
jnthn Aww, it doesn't.
TimToady: method => Method, sub => Sub, submethod => SubMethod, a block has type Block...
TimToady some methods are regexes
jnthn TimToady: Which are of type Regex. :) 17:03

p6eval std a194beb: OUTPUT«===SORRY!===␤Undeclared name:␤ 'Token' used at line 1␤Check failed␤FAILED 00:01 117m␤»
jnthn aww :)
TimToady: yeah, but maybe we should fix the type hierarchy there so we set a good precedent.
TimToady: Different declarator => different type, just like different package declarator => different HOW.
17:04 _jaldhar left, jaldhar_ joined
jnthn We could separately stash away the declarator name used too but... 17:04
TimToady as long as you can reproduce the original declarator for the user, but it seems fragile
jnthn ...feels slightly overkill.
TimToady: ah, you really want to be able to do that? 17:05
TimToady the user wants it
17:05 justatheory joined
jnthn So Routine gets a .declarator method/attribute that stores it? 17:05
Would we follow the pattern with other declarable thingies? 17:06
TimToady or regenerates it from the type accurately
jnthn Well, we can promise that for built-in types.
We can't when people start slanging and adding their own routine declarators. :)
TimToady I'll bet you can't distinguish "multi" from "multi sub" though :)
jnthn No, that's purely syntactic sugar. :) 17:07
I think a routine does know in Rakudo if it's a candidate in a multi.
Not sure that actually is needed by the new multi model, though. I'm not sure why it knows at the moment, tbh.
Other than just for the sake of being able to say so. 17:08
TimToady certainly the multi dispatcher can override error messages that would say "method" but are really exported
low-level invocation probably doesn't know whether it is being called on behalf of function dispatch or method dispatch though 17:10
jnthn Hmm...in theory yes. In practice I'm not quite sure how to make that works.
Ideally the multi dispatcher even appearing in the call stack would be optimized away in various cases. 17:11
(e.g. if we know at compile time where the dispatch goes, it probably just becomes a low-level invocation right off)
17:11 MayDaniel left, broquaint joined
jnthn And even if the multi-dispatcher does end up getting written in Perl 6, I'd expect a lot of dispatches to never actually go through that and hit a dispatch cache in the first attempt to. 17:13
*too
(Various things work like that in 6model. If things publish a type cache, then .^typecheck never gets invoked. If they publish a method cache and the entry is found in there, .^find_method never gets invoked.) 17:14
(The nice thing being that even custom meta-objects written by the user can take the effort to publish such things and have a chance of performing as well as the built-in ones, rather than being unoptimizable second class citizerns.) 17:15

masak thundergnat: I understand and accept your reasons for thinking so. would be interesting to hear what TimToady thinks.
sorear thundergnat: why do you argue STD is wrong? 21:36
perl6: say ("foo";)
p6eval rakudo : OUTPUT«foo␤»

sorear hey masak, is that one known?
masak sorear: see comments at home.comcast.net/~thundergnat/perl6.htm

sorear: no; first time I see it.

masak submits rakudobug
thundergnat rakudo: say 0^^^^^5;
p6eval rakudo : OUTPUT«01234␤»
thundergnat rakudo is correct IMO 21:38
masak sorear: are you arguing that Pugs is right here, or just that the second Rakudo evaluation is Wrong?
sorear masak: the second rakudo evaluation is a crash in Perl6::Actions; it is automatically wrong 21:39
that error message indicates PAST mishandling (.returns is one of the PAST::Node accessors)
thundergnat Or, at least if 0^^^^^5 is wrong then 0 ||||| 5 should arguably be also.
sorear pugs' behavior is also wrong
the inside of () parses as a list of <statement> now 21:40
masak sorear: ok.
sorear++
sorear but pugs specrot is a dime a dozen these days so I'm not making an issue 21:41
niecza currently ignores empty statements
(;;;;;;2;;;;;;;;;) returns 2
which is probably wrong
in particular, it causes {; a => 2 } to be a hash constructor, because the empty statement is ignored
masak thundergnat: I merged the two tickets at the end of your list. 21:42
thundergnat masak: ok, I edit my list 21:43
* I'll
masak I suspect pmichaud might have RT privs.
PerlJam thundergnat: STD used to behave as Rakudo currently does IIRC. And because it's surprising, that's why STD behaves as it does now.
masak [Coke]: maybe this'll help? irclog.perlgeek.de/perl6/2010-11-29#i_3039452 21:44
thundergnat Oh, 0^^^^5 definitely viloate the principle of least suprise, but why doesn't 0|||||5?
std: 0|||||5 21:45
p6eval std a194beb: OUTPUT«ok 00:01 119m␤»
sorear thundergnat: because prefix:<||> is defined

thundergnat sorear: where does prefix || come into it?
21:51 lamstyle left
sorear thundergnat: the actual STD error check is 21:51
std: ~~3
p6eval std a194beb: OUTPUT«===SORRY!===␤Expecting a term, but found either infix ~~ or redundant prefix ~␤ (to suppress this message, please use space between ~ ~) at /tmp/lKU9fd6b6M line 1:␤------> ~~⏏3␤Parse failed␤FAILED 00:01 117m␤»
sorear std: ||3
p6eval std a194beb: OUTPUT«ok 00:01 118m␤»
sorear it doesn't make sense to die on ||3, because || is a prefix operator 21:52
~~ isn't a prefix operator
thundergnat I'm not saying it shoud die, but ||5 is a capture of a capture, 21:53
not a ||

thundergnat std: | |5 21:53
p6eval std a194beb: OUTPUT«ok 00:01 118m␤»
sorear thundergnat: || is a || what are you talking about 21:54
jnthn sorear: Rakudo probably doesn't yet implement ||
sorear: It probably doesn't even parse it yet.
sorear: It parses ||$foo as |(|($foo)) still. 21:55
(I think, anyway.)
[Coke] PerlJam: I /always/ do a make realclean, yes.
jnthn If anyone fancies adding a || parsing that warns it's NYI that'd be fine by me.
It'd reduce confusion.
sorear jnthn: thundergnat is confusing Rakudo with Perl 6 again
it really irritates me when people do that 21:56
jnthn *sigh*
[Coke] masak: uh, which part?
masak sorear: it would, you're the implementor of the "second implementation". you're Pepsi. 21:57
jnthn sorear: You could gently point that out rather than getting irritated... :)
thundergnat sorear: sorry. I'll try not to mix those up again.
masak [Coke]: from the anchor I linked to and onwards.
[Coke] I find it hard to fault people for confusing rakudo & perl6.\
masak: the first page seems entirely irrelevant.
sorear sorry. it took me a while to catch on.
masak [Coke]: er, what did I link you to?
masak double-checks 21:58
sorear first I get confused
21:58 mtk left
[Coke] I'm not using --gen-parrot, so removing parrot/parrot_install doesn't help, I did a realclean before I did the build... 21:58
21:58 thundergnat left
masak oh, right. 21:59
then maybe a problem similar to yours isn't to be found in the backlog after all.
[Coke] and if I realcleaned, I shouldn't need a git reset. I think.

PerlJam [Coke]: maybe your parrot build linked against the already-installed parrot lib ? 22:07
