Tene phenny: ask masak how that sliding window alg we discussed worked out for him. 01:56
phenny Tene: I'll pass that on when masak is around.
Tene phenny: thanks
PerlJam re the viking bear looking like masak ... years ago I took an art class where we were paired and how to sculpt our partner in clay. The teacher said that invariably the sculpture ended up looking like the sculptor rather than the subject. So perhaps there's some truth to "making things in our own image" :-) 02:16
s/how/had/
(the teachers words were borne out in our experience too)
geekosaur it's certainly true from a cognitive point of view 03:29
sorear mm, niecza bootstrap failed 04:28
looks like there won't be a release this month
v5 will most likely come out May 1 or so after I have time to sort out what broke 04:29
moritz jnthn: I get two test failures in ctmo (t/setting/ {hash,resizablepmcarray}) - is that expected? 07:23
tadzik same here 07:36
jnthn ohhai 08:05
moritz: We don't go fiddling with Parrot types in NQP's setting any more.
moritz: So the tests are no longer valid.
moritz ok 4 - Join elements 08:11
Could not find sub join
so sub join() is gone?
jnthn moritz: I'm fine with that being put back. 08:12
moritz: Didn't remove it intentionally.
Just needs to go in one of the files in core, or add one.
mathw mutters darkly about namespace pollution mumble mumble
jnthn The only intentional change is we don't monkey-patch Parrot's PMCs any more. :) 08:13
It was a little anti-social, after all. ;)
moritz a bit javascript-esque
jnthn mathw: Relax. It's a setting. It's just the outer lexical scope of your program. :)
mathw: Compile with --setting=MYAWESOMESETTING and you can define your own. ;) 08:14
mathw \o/
or just redefine join if I want to :D
I do like the idea that the setting is just another lexical scope
it makes so much sense
jnthn :)
mathw dives headlong into the dark and unhappy world of network packet captures 08:17
rhebus \ 08:27
rhebus gah ssh is being totally weird with my github usernames 09:01
it keeps authenticating as the wrong user, even when i hide that user's id_rsa from ssh 09:02
i don't know how that's even possible
donri does perl6 have reserved keywords that can be syntax errors to use for identifiers?
or does TTIAR "solve" that
moritz donri: it has nothing to do with TTIAR 09:03
donri oh? :)
moritz rakudo: my %h = if => 3; say %h.perl
p6eval rakudo 8533c3: OUTPUT«{"if" => 3}␤»
moritz rakudo: sub if() { say "alive" }; if();
donri i suppose
p6eval rakudo 8533c3: OUTPUT«alive␤»
moritz rakudo: sub if() { say "alive" }; if;
p6eval rakudo 8533c3: OUTPUT«alive␤»
donri i'm thinking in python, where i think TTIAR *would* be a solution if it was used 09:03
mathw What's TTIAR? 09:04
donri two terms in a row
moritz two terms in a row
mathw ah
that
donri nowait there are situations where ttiar isn't enough in python
recv = yield
moritz doesn't see two terms in a row 09:05
donri exactly :P 09:06
i was working under the assumption that all situations involving keywords are ttiar in python
it's an example to the contrary
also i might be misusing the term 'ttiar'
+ i'm probably thinking of 'statements' rather than keywords 09:07
moritz to answer your question, Perl 6 does not have reserved words
donri ok :)
they're rather annoying in python
moritz but it doesn't matter all that much, because variables and attributes have sigils anyway 09:08
donri i guess it makes sense in python's philosophy to keep the grammar simple and the rules obvious but "meh"
moritz: well, subs
moritz so even if perl had reserved words, $next wouldn't collide with next;
jnthn Recently when reading some C# code, I did a double take when I saw a variable whose name started with an @ 09:09
donri do you have to use () to disambiguate then?
jnthn I was like "huh, C# doesn't have sigils?!"
So I went and read the langauge grammar.
moritz rakudo: sub if() { say "alive" }; if
jnthn Turns out that if you want to use a reserved word as a variable name, you put an @ before it. :D
p6eval rakudo 8533c3: OUTPUT«alive␤»
donri rakudo: if 09:10
p6eval rakudo 8533c3: OUTPUT«Could not find sub &if␤ in main program body at line 22:/tmp/6UULO6r94d␤»
donri it's not really ambigous if it's not syntactically an if
moritz jnthn: is that allowed for non-reserved words as well?
jnthn moritz: yes ;) 09:11
donri rakudo: sub next() { say "next!"; }; multi sub dostuff() { next; }; dostuff()
p6eval rakudo 8533c3: OUTPUT«next!␤»
jnthn moritz: So I could start using it on all my arrays :)
donri how do you get the 'next' statement instead?
or is it a sub?
jnthn I think it's a sub and you've just gone and overridden it :)
donri aye 09:12
jnthn Probably you can get the "real" one with SETTING::next();
In theory. Not in current Rakudo.
moritz jnthn: I should troll some C# boards on the internet suggesting to always use @ on variables as a "best" practice
or OUTER::next() or so
jnthn moritz: :D
mathw moritz: yes yes!
do it
donri but is there any situation such that i'm trying
mathw then they can come tell us we need to use SETTING::next() always in case someone overrides it
mathw and then we can practise our defenestration 09:12
donri is @ part of the identifier in C#? 09:13
the convention in python is "append _" but it's part of the name so you have to handle that case everywhere
moritz "meh" 09:14
jnthn wrestles with PAST::Compiler
mathw thinks Python has a few too many underscores in some places
donri hehe 09:17
mathw I don't get why __init__ 09:18
it looks like some sort of dirty compiler internal to me
why not just reserve all uppercase identifiers as special and call it INIT?
oh wait we did that here already :)

bbkr_ tadzik: my Pies bootstrap problem occured on Debian 5.0 "Linux dev.v.l 2.6.29.2-vs2.3.0.36.12 #1 SMP Fri May 8 16:22:41 CEST 2009 i686 GNU/Linux", with libtest-harness-perl 3.12-1 installed 09:48
phenny bbkr_: 26 Apr 20:08Z <tadzik> tell bbkr_ what os is that? Is that possible that 0 is not a success on it?
bbkr_ tadzik: 0 means success, nothing exotic here 09:49
tadzik strange
you can reproduce that, righ?
bbkr_ checking... 09:50
bbkr_ yes 09:52
tadzik oh, I has a bug
bbkr_ i'll check if it has something to do with TODO tests
tadzik my thought is maybe prove gives some non-zero exit status on such occasion
bugs! bugs everywhere! 09:54
rhebus who handles pull requests for perl6/roast? 09:55
moritz rhebus: nobody, which is why we hand out commit bits instead :-) 09:56
rhebus: what's your github ID?
rhebus ppotter
moritz hugme: add ppotter to perl6
hugme hugs ppotter. Welcome to the perl6 github organization
rhebus nice one

moritz rhebus++
rhebus yeah, github-- or ssh-- or something. i have 2 github accounts; rhebus is already a perl6 committer but i just can't get rhebus's identity to auth through ssh atm :( 09:58
moritz you can configure the public ssh key that github uses for auth 10:01
github.com/account -> SSH Public Keys 10:02
tadzik what the hell, pies stopped to even build for me 10:05
zsh: segmentation fault panda install . 10:10
ohgreat
bbkr_ tadzik: confirmed, when prove has any todo() test passed it returns 1 on exit. 10:11
tadzik cool 10:12
what does it return on error?
bbkr_ tadzik: 1
tadzik supercool >{( 10:13
bbkr_ I removed todo() from JSON::Tiny 04-roundtrip.t and Pies installed
tadzik nopaste.snit.ch/42225 10:14
bbkr_ which is weird, because according to TAP::Harness todo test always pass
and rakudo.org is down (blank page). day for disasters :) 10:16
tadzik meh, turns out it's me who broke my parrot :) 10:19
rhebus t/spec/S19-command-line/dash-e.t fails on my system; i suspect, though, it's my shell and not rakudo which is at fault here 10:42

huh, --target=parse doesn't give any output for -e programs -- anyone else see this? 11:07
TiMBuS yep its a known issue 11:13
rhebus ok 11:14
is there a bug report system for smolder.parrot.org?
TiMBuS ¯\(°_o)/¯
rhebus :/ 11:15
moritz rhebus: the software itself is on CPAN, so it has a queue in the CPAN rt 11:25
rhebus: as for this particular installation... ask in #parrot (on irc.perl.org)
rhebus ooh, thanks

colomon moritz, jnthn, masak: what are you guys using to make presentations? 11:53
moritz colomon: a custom perl script that generates HTML, and the 's5' html+js+CSS framework 11:56
github.com/moritz/perltalk/
I think jnthn uses powerpoint
moritz and masak writes a new script for each presentation :-) 11:56
colomon So the physics file is the source for the talk? 11:58
and can embed p6 code? 11:59
moritz those slides marked with :perl6 are highlighted as Perl 6 12:02
with Text::VimColor, vim and perl6.vim
the file 'talk' contains another talk
yes, very clever file names, I know :-)
colomon moritz++ 12:03
Ack, I don't have HTML::Template::Compiled installed, and I just got a bunch of test failures when I tried to install it.
moritz oh 12:04
there's a new development version which fixes those on perl 5.12
HTML-Template-Compiled-0.94_002
cpanm HTML-Template-Compiled-0.94_002 # should help
colomon moritz++ 12:05
errr, that doesn't actually work? "Cannot make HTML-Template-Compiled-0.94_002, don't know what it is." 12:06
moritz cpanm search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/T/T...002.tar.gz 12:07
moritz tries to get the maintainer to release the last version as non-devel
colomon is cpanm a typo or something different from cpan? 12:10
arnsholt CPAN minus IIRC
moritz App::cpanminus
arnsholt A simpler CPAN client
colomon ah
takadonet colomon: you will love it 12:11
moritz very convenient, asks far fewer (I think "none") questions
mathw it actually works
takadonet morning all
moritz and it Just Works[tm]
takadonet faster too
mathw which I find is a big plus point
colomon is now using cpan to get cpanm. ;)
moritz colomon: that's the last thing I used cpan for :-)
BinGOs uses cpanm to bootstrap cpanp when he needs to. 12:12
colomon ah, yes, that seems to be helping matters greatly. :)
BinGOs cpanm doesn't do test reporting so is of no use to me apart from bootstrapping something I can use to do test reporting. 12:13

colomon looks like. \o/ 14:14
tadzik dang, I wanted to push Panda there 14:15
moritz hurry up, maybe it's not too late
tadzik pmichaud: how much time until the Star release? 14:15
pmichaud tadzik: I was wondering if Panda is ready for release. I'm thinking of including it 14:16
pmichaud tadzik: if you think Panda should be included, I'm inclined to agree 14:17
right now I'm just doing some basic testing and building stuff, so I think there's time
moritz it's the only working module installer we have :-)
pmichaud (working installer) Yes, I know. :-)
PerlJam We need more animal named software so that we can have the "lions and tigers and bears" release of Rakudo Star :) 14:18
tadzik pmichaud: the problem is it started segfaulting for me today. Surely Parrot's fault, but disturbing anyway 14:20
see nopaste.snit.ch/42225
pmichaud tadzik: using Parrot 3.3.0 ?
tadzik aye 14:21
well, the git version from --gen-parrot
I'll to remove it completely, bootstrap and install a few things
pmichaud tadzik: I'll test it here also. But my plan was to try to include Panda in the release.
tadzik cool 14:22
pmichaud afk for a bit (errands)
tadzik oh, I was also thinking about removing some of the modules from the META.list, so the star-panda (oh the pun!) will contain only those installable and working (more or less)
moritz +1 from me 14:23
tadzik oh good, it didn't segfault now, while bootstraping 14:25
moritz: I'm going to remove all the modules from SHELTER from the META.list, they'll still live in the shelter and in the old projects.list, what do you think? 14:26
moritz tadzik: do they install? 14:27
tadzik moritz: not all of them
I can try some
I know a plenty of them have some missing dependencies
okay, after a full reinstalation of panda and deps it doesn't segfault anymore 14:28
tadzik uh-oh, does LWP::Simple build for anyone? 14:34
moritz it tested fine last I tried 14:35
tadzik t/get-rakudo-org.t .............. Method 'match' not found for invocant of class ''
oh wait, isn't rakudo.org down?
I believe LWP::Simple needs a better testing target
moritz just a sec, I can fix it 14:36
moritz tadzik: fix pushed 14:38
tadzik moritz: pushed where? 14:39
moritz tadzik: [email@hidden.address] 14:39
tadzik ok, works 14:40
pmichaud ...why is rakudo.org down? 14:41
moritz has no idea, but it has happened a few times recently 14:42
pmichaud That's... not good. 14:43

I'm not at all in love with Drupal.
pmichaud I agree, Drupal has been painful.
alester s/going/willing/
colomon tadzik: looking into it now
pmichaud anyway, I'll set up wordpress on my server today and we can start populating it
alester pmichaud: What do you need form me?
pmichaud (I have wordpress installed already... I just need to set up the account(s))
alester If there's some convert-o-dump-o-tron that needs DB access or whatever, let me know. 14:46
pmichaud: I also have WordPress installed.
But if you wanna drive, that's fine.
pmichaud alester: I'll use mine for now... I think I'm a little less squeamish about giving out access to my server than you are :)
alester pmichaud: Probably ture. 14:47
Thanks for driving.
pmichaud anyway, yeah -- the biggest question is how much of the old content from rakudo.org we feel we need to preserve (and how to get it)
alester And then I can shoot Drupal. :-) 14:48
moritz it would be nice to preserve some URLs (not necessarily pages) that are linked everywhere
like how-to-get-rakudo
tadzik FWIW, I'm now installing every module in the ecosystem to see which are working to at least some extend
colomon tadzik: Testing fix pushed 14:49
moritz tadzik++
tadzik colomon++, great
pmichaud I'm certain we can preserve urls if rakudo.org is forwarded somewhere
tadzik also, Perl6-Term--ANSIColor is unmaintained since I remember, and all of my attempts to contact its author failed. Mind if I remove that? We have another Term::ANSIColor, tested and maintained 15:00
(and mine, but that's a coincidence)
pmichaud +1
moritz tadzik: go right ahead 15:02
tadzik: if the author complains, we can tell him to fix his module and re-add it to the index file :-)

tadzik aw, snap!
dalek ar: 227e50e | tadzik++ | skel/docs/announce/2011.04:
Add some advertising to the announcement
jnthn So, what's next... 15:45
jnthn glances his todo list
eww :)
Whenever my next task has "circularity" in it, I know it's gonna hurt some... 15:46
pmichaud anyone who wants to author/admin on the new rakudo.org, please go to rakudoperl.org/wp/ and click the "Register" link at the bottom-right 16:01
jnthn pmichaud: registered (jnthn) 16:03
pmichaud jnthn/colomon: you now have admin privs 16:05
colomon thanks
jnthn yay 16:06
pmichaud++
PerlJam has registered also 16:07
(does this mean that rakudo.org is going away or what?)
pmichaud rakudoperl.org is a domain I already own; we'll hopefully get rakudo.org to forward to rakudoperl.org or something like that 16:08
pmichaud PerlJam/Util: updated 16:12
I have a lunch meeting I have to go to... I'll bbi120. Feel free to update things on the rakudoperl site as you see fit. 16:13
dalek p/ctmo: cc013b6 | jonathan++ | src/ (5 files):
Setup the very basic KnowHOWAttribute in 6model core rather than leaving every HLL the problem of setting up an initial one. It's especially a pain if you're going to have a compile time meta-model and need the attribute meta-object available to the compiler. (FWIW, nqpclr ended up with this in core too, though with a different initial motivation.)
 16:53
p/ctmo: 2af2457 | jonathan++ | src/NQP/ (2 files):
Start using KnowHOWAttribute from the 6model core instead. Means we now create all meta-attributes during the compile. Toss the knowhow-specific workarounds.
sunnavy date 16:59
oops 17:00
dalek p/ctmo: 28dbe5e | jonathan++ | src/stage0/ (6 files):
Update bootstrap with various attribute changes.
 17:20
p/ctmo: 74ac547 | jonathan++ | / (2 files):
Toss the now-unused KnowHOWAttribute.pm.
p/ctmo: 835b51e | jonathan++ | src/Regex/ (3 files):
Fix lookups of meta-objects in regex library.
masak oh hai, #perl6 17:51
phenny masak: 01:56Z <Tene> ask masak how that sliding window alg we discussed worked out for him.
tadzik oh hi masak 17:53
masak Tene: heh, I already wrote a solution for that problem -- was curious how to do it "right" for next time. :) right now I've moved on to other problems at $work... but I'll keep on the lookout for similar problems.
hai tadzik
sorear hi masak 17:54
masak Tene: I like the syntax I arrived at at the bottom of gist.github.com/942868 -- it exposes the essential complexity and hides the accidental complexity. the remaining problems I have it are miniscule. 17:54
sorear: hi there :)
sorear: if I were to toy around with the grammar extensions and AST transformations necessary to make something like that gist DTRT, should I try doing it in Niecza, or in the new 6model-enhanced nqp? 17:57
masak keeps tugging at loose end of the future :) 17:59
sorear I don't totally understand what OVER is supposed to do here 18:07
also I don't know what new-nqp is capable of
dalek p/ctmo: 177dadd | jonathan++ | src/HLL/SerializationContextBuilder.pm:
Toss a bunch of legacy package installations that we no longer need (this means that all type lookups are certainly working through the new packages).
 18:10
p/ctmo: 5d65440 | jonathan++ | src/NQP/Actions.pm:
Update some package lookups.
p/ctmo: c408fe7 | jonathan++ | src/Regex/ (3 files):
More legacy package lookup/installation cleanups.
sorear jnthn: grr, I'm gonna have so much catching up to do when I get my tuits back :D
jnthn sorear: :) 18:11
masak sorear: OVER is supposed to hide the bookkeeping that the upper, uncommented code exposes. the two pieces of code are meant to do the same thing. 18:17
jnthn: how difficult would it be to introduce something like OVER in nqp at this point? just as an experiment. 18:18
masak Moukeddar: arf! 18:18
tadzik was that an evil panda sound? 18:19
Moukeddar arf!?
masak keeps silent and practices a piercing look
Moukeddar what happened to ROAAAR!
TimToady perl6: my @fib := 0, 1, @fib Z+ @fib[1..*]; say @fib[10]; 18:20
masak Moukeddar: in here, we tend to yap rather than roar :)
Moukeddar shell pirecing look ?
p6eval rakudo 8533c3, niecza v4-76-g7bf5ef9: OUTPUT«(timeout)»
..pugs: OUTPUT«␤»
TimToady pugs: my @fib := (0, 1, @fib Z+ @fib[1..*]); say @fib[10];
p6eval pugs: OUTPUT«␤»
masak TimToady: I've been told that that's never going to work, because there are no closures in there that will delay evaluation the way @fib needs to.
TimToady: I think sorear told me that. 18:21
TimToady um, the lists are lazy
newbee hi... what are the datatypes for date, time, and timedate in perl6? I know that Date and Duration works, bit Time don't: use v6; class Task; has Str $.command is rw; has Time $.exec_time is rw; has Date $.exec_date is rw; has Duration $.exec_timeout is rw;
It says that Time is not a valid datatype
TimToady and binding is not eager 18:22
masak newbee: Time does make much sense on its own. Date does.
jnthn masak: use NQP; class MyNQPGrammar is NQP::Grammar { ... }; class MyNQPActions is NQP::Actions { ... }; sub MAIN(*@ARGS) { ...same as in src/NQP/Compiler.pm but put your subclassed grammar/actions in instead... }
TimToady and the problem in rakudo is just that subscripting isn't lazy, I think
masak newbee: if you want, you could declare 'class Time { has $.hour; has $.minute; has $.second }' 18:23
newbee: but we don't do that for you because you might have different requirements beyond that.
newbee My intention was to use a "native" datatype for Time
masak newbee: maybe you're looking for Instant?
newbee is there any?
TimToady rakudo: say now.WHAT 18:24
tadzik Sure. Like counterspell, or terror :>
p6eval rakudo 8533c3: OUTPUT«Instant()␤»
tadzik I wonder if that joke isn't too hermetic
sorear TimToady: lists may be lazy but function calls aren't
newbee mmmm i see... Instant does that.. Much better than the generic "Time".. Thanks :D
sorear &infix:<,> has to evaluate both arguments right away
masak newbee: if it's any lead, "Instant" is for atomic time, whereas "DateTime" is for civil time. 18:25
TimToady sorear: fine, but Z+ is returning a lazy list that commits to nothing until munched, supposedly 18:26
er, hmm, precedence problem
perl6: my @fib := 0, 1, (@fib Z+ @fib[1..*]); say @fib[10];
masak the precedence with X and Z often surprises. but it's one of those can't-please-everyone problems.
p6eval rakudo 8533c3, niecza v4-76-g7bf5ef9: OUTPUT«(timeout)» 18:27
..pugs: OUTPUT«␤»
TimToady that's what I meant
newbee i just need a Time without relation to a date.. i want to do a "schedule" system. For example, run this task at "14:30" for certain dates. 18:27
masak newbee: then I advise you to create a custom Time class.
sorear if we allow general functions like &zipwith to delay evaluation, we're opening a can of worms
masak or TimeOfDay or something.
sorear all the performance problems of Haskell without the elegance :)
pmichaud good afternoon, #perl6 18:28
masak pmichaud! \o/
jnthn o/ again, pmichaud :)
tadzik welcome back :)
sorear masak: I don't even understand what either version of the gist is supposed to do. 18:29
jnthn masak: fwiw, if you play with new nqp, I suggest doing so against the master branch. ctmo is where I feel free to break stuff. :)
TimToady sorear: I don't know what you mean by "delay evaluation"; the zipwith is called, but returns a lazy list that commits to nothing until munched
jnthn masak: When something becomes "good" I merge it to master. The native attrs are just about to get merged, for example.
TimToady I see no performance problems there
pmichaud hmm, R* with the new garbage collector doesn't seem to be significantly faster than 2011.01 :/
jnthn pmichaud: :/
masak jnthn: understood. 18:30
sorear: oh, sorry. :/ I'll attempt an explanation.
sorear TimToady: the zipwith is called, but it receives the *old* @fib as an argument
jnthn masak: In theory you should have no problems at all subclassing grammar and actions and setting up NQP::Compiler to use your new ones.
sorear @fib isn't rebound until zipwith and , return
tadzik I wonder what did slow Rakudo down 18:31
masak sorear: the general problem is this: given an incoming stream of ordered records-with-fields, where fields to the right "vary" faster than fields to the left (odometer-style), devise an algorithm that does something within each contigous chunk of field values.
pmichaud I'll run some tests.
masak sorear: in this particular case, the incoming fields are person, shop, and item. for each person, print (in the correct order) that person's shops. print as soon as possible. 18:32
TimToady sorear: okay I see your point
masak sorear: thing is, everything will lag until the iteration after, when we know that a new person was found.
sorear: I want to avoid having to think about that in the code. 18:33
dalek Heuristic branch merge: pushed 21 commits to nqp by jnthn

Wow.

pmichaud and I find lots of articles that say the tools don't really work
sorear masak: a hypothetical Perl 6 version of the Haskell groupBy
masak: sort of like .classify, but lazy and expects sorted input
TimToady sorear: I believe "constant @fib =" should bind the lazy list at compile time 18:39
pmichaud so, I'll be happy to just get the article text somewhere and re-build the articles manually from that

tadzik arnsholt, ingy, moritz and quietfanatic are people with 2 or more modules in the SHELTER
arnsholt SHELTER?
tadzik aye, where the not-updated-to-the-new-spec modules live 18:46
mentioned in ttjjss.wordpress.com/2011/04/18/new...les-world/
arnsholt SQL::Grammar can be deleted 18:47
I never got anywhere with that, and it can be safely deleted 18:48
tadzik alright
masak TimToady: so binding and constants don't mix?
arnsholt Gimme a sec and I'll update the Viterbi one
tadzik alright. Familiar with META.info's?
arnsholt Not yet =) 18:49
tadzik :) 18:49
You can either read the spec, or just cargocult it from some panda-badged module on modules.perl6.org 18:50
arnsholt Looking at the spec now, and then I'll probably cargo-cult =)
sorear the way constants are parsed is a tad dubious 18:52
tadzik I have a feeling that only the neutro's META.info has been actually written from scratch. I should've put some funky whitespace in it, and now give a special prize for everyone without that character in their META.infos :) 18:53
sorear '5 * constant $x = 2' parses as (5 * constant $x) = 2, but the latter isn't valid syntax 18:53

tadzik they don't
arnsholt Right. No deps for my module then
masak right. ufo was never meant to be a dep of anything. 18:59
I seem to gravitate to writing that kind of module, for some reason :)
arnsholt There. New version pushed to github 19:01
tadzik arnsholt++
TimToady re pseudo-assignment to declarators, see S03:4802
pseudo assignment has nothing to do with normal assignment, even wrt precedence 19:02
tadzik arnsholt: fwiw, source-type is optional, Panda is smart enought to figure that out from the url
TimToady declarators all look for '=' as part of their "term"
arnsholt Yeah, I noticed. But the files I cargo-culted from had it, so y'know... =) 19:03
tadzik :)
I'know :)
TimToady (that is, declarators that take initializers, not things like 'sub')
arnsholt So now all that's missing is that I remove the module from SHELTER and update META.list in perl6/ecosystem? 19:04

newbee hi again :) I was creating the TimeOfDay class: use v6; class TimeOfDay { has $.hour; has $.minute; has $.seconds; } 19:06
pmichaud alester: if you can put rakudo.org up long enough for me to do a webscrape of its contents, that would be okay
alester pmichaud: Oh, shoot, I'm sorry, forgot about you. Real Job got in the way. 19:07
let me see what I can do re: export
pmichaud np, just letting you know options
no real hurry
newbee now, i know i can put constraints to the data using where, for example, 0 >= $hour <= 23... but i dont wan't the program to fail if i assing a 61 to $.hour
how can i make "accesors" for those data members?
tadzik newbee: you already did 19:08
tadzik $.foo is an attribute foo, with a public accessor 19:08
rakudo: class Foo { has $.bar = 5 }; say Foo.new.bar

sorear pmichaud: what's up with rakudo.org? 19:08
pmichaud sorear: apparently it's down, so I'm moving it to a wordpress-based site on my server 19:09
alester "What's up" is a rare condition. :-)
tadzik TiMBuS! TiMBuS! Your META.info is broken!
alester is it down NOW?
dammit
pmichaud it was down earlier when I tried it 19:10
sorear Why does it keep going down?
alester sorear: You are far too late to this party. :-)
If I knew, I'd fix it.
sorear alester: I know, hence the questions :)
:/ 19:11
alester oh man, I might be able to kill my mysql instance, too.
pmichaud: want a mysqldump?
I'll paste it into the channel.
sorear I hope you mean a link 19:12
alester sorear: I kid.
Wuss.
Can't handle thousands of lines of SQL INSERTs?
newbee so, i did accesors just by declaring the variable... but, how can i send a warning if i pass 61 to $.hour ??
pmichaud alester: a mysqldump would work okay, yes 19:13
tadzik newbee: you can supply your own BUILD submethod which will validate the attributes
alester pmichaud: OK, can't look right this second. 19:14
but I will
tadzik rakudo: class Mytime { has $.hour; submethod BUILD { callsame; die "how many? Are you nuts?" unless 0 < $.hour < 24; } }; Mytime.new(hour => 77)

pmichaud alester: great, no rush 19:15
alester pmichaud: I just saw them on April 12th.
tadzik newbee: keep in mind that is only during the object creation
github++ # "fork and edit this file" 19:16
alester github++ # Just in general.
masak github++ # happily paying customer 19:18
newbee but what happens if i change $.hour after the creation? I understand that BUILD runs only once... 19:22
tadzik newbee: if you don't add "is rw" to "has" you can't change it 19:23
and Time sounds like something I'd prefer immutable
I believe they're immutable in Perl 6 to
masak DateTime is mutable; Date is immutable. 19:24
masak but yes, I agree with tadzik that Time sounds like it could well be immutable. 19:24
pmichaud ...I thought the new garbage collector was to give a significant speed improvement, but for some reason I'm not seeing it here. 19:26
at least, I'm not seeing it in the spectests. 19:27
newbee ok, lets put this example then: class Soldier { has $.health is rw } and i want to perform some action if health goes beyond 100, all this without a special method. Just by saying $Asoldier.health = 120;
tadzik newbee: that's either hard or impossible in the current state of Rakudo 19:28
pmichaud in Rakudo? what about in Perl 6 in general?
colomon pmichaud: did you get any speed improvement with that Parrot flag you were trying to set earlier today?
pmichaud colomon: by changing the flag I eliminated the 40% penalty I was seeing 19:29
colomon pmichaud: that's something, anyway!
pmichaud which means rakudo is only as fast as the january release, not faster
colomon pmichaud: are we going to make setting the flag that way the default for Rakudo?
pmichaud colomon: it's been the default already 19:30
it was the default in the march release
and in the april release

pmichaud which means that either (a) the GC didn't provide nearly as much improvement as claimed, or (b) something has happened to Rakudo to cause it to become much slower than it was in January (and thus lose any gains provided by the GC) 19:32
or (c) other
newbee hehe, great, thanks sorear :) now, ¿what is _newtiedscalar? looks like a hack, ¿it is? 19:33
sorear _newtiedscalar is how niecza makes special lvalues 19:34
pmichaud I think the standard Perl 6 mechanism would be to use WHENCE
sorear no good decision has been made on how to do that
newbee oh well... in the meantime niecza's method is what i will use :) 19:35
sorear pmichaud: WHENCE only lets you run code the first time a variable is bound or assigned to
pmichaud method health() is rw { $!health WHENCE { die "Oops too big" if $_ > 100 } }
or something like that
oh yes, only for vivification
hmm
sorear there's something in the spec about Proxy.new:, but I find that interface vaguely disturbing 19:36
pmichaud that pre-dates WHENCE
it's probably fossil

TimToady masak: it also differs from || in not making you compare explicitly with the value, since it's still a junction 19:54
moritz tadzik: I think Module::Starter can be deleted
masak TimToady: the &warn call is part of the 'where' clause. surely its return value will be matched against the subtyped variable? 19:55
TimToady not if it's a Boolean... 19:56

jnthn pmichaud: No, not much... :(
TimToady .u ∾ 19:58
phenny U+223E INVERTED LAZY S (∾)
jnthn pmichaud: I shoved nqp through the Visual Studio profiler recently. 19:59
pmichaud: 6model guts were...a long way down the profiling list...
jnthn pmichaud: And that's before we're even really using it optimally... 19:59
alester Phooey, the durpal dump is >1.5G 20:00
but I don't know hy
moritz lots of spam?
alester i'm sure
i don't know which tables to dump.
masak .oO( this would all have been easier with event sourcing... ) 20:01
tadzik moritz: I'm on it 20:01
moritz: now I think about writing one anyway :) 20:02
dalek osystem: f981b4e | tadzik++ | / (2 files):
Remove Module::Starter
 20:03
sorear S is the "I have no idea how it's expected to work" metaop 20:04
pmichaud alester: I've scraped the site
I'll grab what I need from the html
I'm guessing the drupal dump is 1.5G owing to the spam comments 20:05
alester I have raw stuff for you, pmichaud
only two tables you need
once I figure how to get mysqldump to dump only certain tables. 20:06
but if you're happy w/the scraping, that's fine, too, and I'll stop
pmichaud let me try with the scrapes first... if I need the dumps I'll let you know :) 20:06
moritz tadzik: I've added META.info to CGI::Application and Nonogram 20:07
moritz tadzik: which ecosystem repo is the "authoritative" one right now? yours or the one in perl6? 20:09
tadzik moritz: perl6. I should remove mine, doing that now 20:10
done
moritz tadzik: do we still need projects.list for anything? 20:13
tadzik moritz: for backwards compatibility and historical reasons I think
pmichaud channel poll: is it important to re-post the various Rakudo compiler announcements to rakudoperl.org ? 20:14
pmurias sorear: what's wrong with Proxy?
moritz pmurias: no, but I'd love to preserve the R* release
pmurias moritz: meant pmichaud? 20:15
moritz yes, sorry
pmichaud: see above :-)
pmichaud yes, I'm planning to keep the R* release announcements
here's a preview: rakudoperl.org/?p=7&preview=true
tadzik pmichaud: notfound
moritz Apologies, but the page you requested could not be found. Perhaps searching will help.
masak pmichaud: I think it's important to show something each month. I remember when I wasn't too involved with Rakudo. the release announcements served as a reminder that the project still existed and was alive.
pmichaud: posting things is cheap.
pmichaud masak: I mean the historical postings 20:16
masak oh!
pmichaud masak: we're moving rakudo.org to a wordpress site
rakudoperl.org
masak ah. sorry. :) I'm not keeping up :P
pmichaud and I'm wondering how much content from the old rakudo.org site I need to keep
dalek osystem: 72f62a5 | moritz++ | / (3 files):
remove two modules from SHELTER, and add META.info links instead
pmichaud thus: do I need to transfer all of the monthly release announcements for rakudo compiler
preview post might only be available if you're logged in/registered 20:17
moritz no
pmichaud I'll go ahead and publish it
pmurias sorear: the interface to Proxy seems perfect to me
pmichaud rakudoperl.org/2010/06/19/rakudo-st...y-july-29/
moritz (and if yes, it would probably be less work to just take the announcements from git)
pmichaud it seems to be really easy to copy-n-paste from the drupal html into wordpress 20:18
pmurias sorear: with a possible BIND for bvalues 20:25
tadzik heh, I need Test::Simple for every language I use. Did anyone ever wrote Test::Simple for Java? :) 20:42
masak yeah. but I never published it. 20:50
it was before I embraced JUnit a bit more.
tadzik yeah, I guess I should look into this jUnit 20:55
I was trying to limit the "new things to learn" to just java
tadzik writing Battleship game for the university project
arnsholt tadzik: Yeah, I have really come to like TAP 20:56
masak TAP, like POD, should really be more widespread than just Perl. 21:01
pmichaud jnthn: how many of your articles from rakudo.org would you want to have migrated to rakudoperl.org? ("all" is an acceptable answer) 21:17
(other opinions welcome also)
pmurias masak: what does jUnit use instead of TAP? 21:18
jnthn pmichaud: How many are there? 21:19
pmichaud: And what were they about?
pmichaud: I don't ever remember writing anything exclusively for rakudo.org... 21:20
pmurias pmichaud: why is there a migration from rakudo.org to rakudoperl.org
jnthn Oh, maybe the odd thing...
pmichaud I'm not sure they were "exclusive"
jnthn Yeah
I suspect they were cross-posts. 21:21
pmichaud rakudo.org/node/55
21:19 <jnthn> pmichaud: And what were they about?
oops
alester pmichaud: why the domain name change?
pmichaud rakudo.org/node/52
rakudo.org/node/51
etc
jnthn Oh, I'm sure they were cross-posted
pmichaud alester: I'm only using "rakudoperl.org" to distinguish new versus old 21:22
jnthn I did them on use.perl.org
pmichaud alester: when things are moved across it'll just be "rakudo.org" again
alester pmichaud: ok.
jnthn So in terms of "not losing them for good" they won't be.
jnthn So I've no issue with them not being migrated. 21:22
alester My A-record-modifying fingers stand at the ready.
alester jnthn: Or rather, is there any reason NOT to migrate them? 21:22
pmichaud well, I don't know how much I trust use.perl.org to stay around, either :) 21:23
I've been thinking of migrating my use.perl.org posts to my blog
jnthn alester: No, there's no reason not to either. 21:24
alester: I don't feel strongly either way. :)
alester Is there a way you could be even more ambivalent? 21:25
More extreme in your ambivalence?
TRUE NEUTRAL, BABY.
pmichaud: HURRY I YEARN TO KILL THE DRUPAL. 21:26
"He took his Drupal sword in hand...." 21:27
frettled alester++ 21:30
Is WordPress on rakudoperl.org updated to 3.1.2 yet? 21:31
alester I'm sure Drupal is really awesome and powerful and all, but damn, I can't maintain the thing.
frettled WP 3.x is easy to upgrade, at least. 21:32
But there has been a spate of vulnerability fixes recently, more than Drupal, and a whole bunch of automated attacks.
PerlJam frettled: Drupal is easy to upgrade too ... it's just dealing with the fall-out that's the problem. :-) 21:33
pmichaud frettled: I'm at 3.1.0 atm. I can upgrade to 3.1.2
one moment
Done. 21:34
frettled Sigh, irssi froze. : 21:35
hugme: hug me 21:36
hugme hugs frettled
frettled (:
masak hugme: hug hugme
hugme hugs hugme
frettled masak: hug masak
masak hugs masak
frettled \o/
masak I'm gonna hug myself into bed now. 21:37
'night, #perl6.
TimToady o/
frettled Splendid idea, masak++
frettled TimToady: golfing? :) 21:39
tadzik arnsholt! arnsholt! 21:43
arnsholt: you missed a comma in your META.info
I should make the ecosystem more typoproof 21:44
arnsholt OHNOES! 21:52
There. Fixed 21:53
tadzik thx
frettled If only other software developers could be half as quick. 21:53
arnsholt I can either write my thesis, which is due on monday, or procrastinate. Not a difficult choice ;) 21:55
