[Coke] git assist? How do I convert a readwrite github clone to a readonly one? 01:27
sorear Go into .git/config and remove the push URL 01:28
timotimo alternative: git remote rm whateveritscalled; git remote add whateveritscalled [email@hidden.address]
sorear The only difference is the default push URL
[Coke] I actually want to change the default /pull/ url. 01:37
(so it won't prompt me for my password)
timotimo oh, that's the point
you could use a second ssh key that doesn't have a passphrase or you could use ssh-agent 01:38
colomon isn't that just a matter of changing [remote "origin"] url to a readonly one? 01:39
colomon has only done it the other way to make a readonly clone readwrite
timotimo oh, i didn't even consider that question, if you can have separate push and pull URLs 01:40
well, worst case, you make an alias
benabik [remote "origin"] \n url = git://github.com/name/project.git \n pushurl = [email@hidden.address] 01:41
I assume there's some kind of git-remote way of setting that, but I've always just edited .git/config
[Coke] sorear++ - editing .git/config was the quickest way.

sorear while awesome, rakudo's error message is wrong, iiuc 07:12
bacek_at_work "unfix"?
sorear "unfix" isn't a special category name, so unfix:bla<...> is just a sub name
the error is in :bla($x) - $x is not defined yet, it should be an undeclared variable error 07:13
if you wanted a signature, you need to use unfix:bla ($x) {...}
this has bit me a couple times in niecza, when I write method term:variable($/) { ... } in the actions and then wonder why the parser explodes 07:14

pmurias if I have "class Foo {...}" in Foo.pm6 and I have "use Foo" in my program Foo gets imported into my lexical scope 09:32
? 09:36
moritz classes are our-scoped by default, so they are merged into your GLOBAL while loading 09:37
not sure if they also get a lexical alias
09:37 stepnem left
jnthn It'll only be lexically imported if you mark it "is export" 09:48
Otherwise what moritz said.
09:49 stepnem joined
moritz can imagine the "fun" in bridging the gap between lexical export in Perl 6 and the package based Perl 5 stuff 09:50

pmurias jnthn: so if the class isn't marked with is export I have to take it out from GLOBAL? 10:15
moritz even if it is exported, it needs to be GLOBAL merged 10:16

pmurias moritz: Foo.new() avoids looking into GLOBAL?
10:21 kaleem left
masak fsergot! \o/ 10:21
moritz pmurias: I don't think so, but I'm not sure
pmurias $foo.new doesn't look into GLOBAL unless we use 'no strict' right? 10:22
masak doesn't even understand the question 10:24
jnthn pmurias: What moritz said. And yeah, Foo.new() in that case comes from GLOBAL, but it's declarative so we can statically resolve that reference at compile time. So Rakudo actually only does the GLOBAL lookup during the compile.
pmurias masak: we can do a lexical lookup or a package lookup or both 10:25
jnthn In "no strict" I'm not sure what scope we'll auto-declare with.
moritz our-scope, just like in Perl 5
jnthn OK :)
pmurias moritz: our-scope?
moritz otherwise things like { $x }; { $x } would be rather surprising 10:26
pmurias moritz: our both declares a package variable and creates an lexical alias to it 10:27

p6eval nom 4130f6: OUTPUT«===SORRY!===␤Variable $a is not declared␤at /tmp/_0FYRayuIK:1␤»
moritz right

masak moritz: re "or a lexical alias is installed in the outer most scope that makes any sense" -- do you have an example of that? I can't think of one.
ENOPERLITO
moritz masak: it's really just an implementation detail on how one might handle 'no strict;' -- I don't think there's any user visible code that would behave differently 10:37
masak oh, you were talking about the 'no strict' case.
I immediately got to thinking about my old strangelyconsistent.org/blog/where-...age-lexpad post. 10:38
where I mistakenly think that package variables are in a lexpad somewhere along the lexical lookup chain.
pmurias jnthn: so Foo is treated differently from $foo in {our $foo=12};say $foo.perl? 10:39
moritz well, it were murky waters in the earlier Perl 6 days, iirc
pmurias: correct
pmurias: $foo is always only lexically looked up (except maybe under 'no strict;') 10:40
type names fall back to GLOBAL if not found in the lexical scope
jnthn Right. It's all consistent, given that type names default to installing in the package, and variables don't.

fsergot: there's a &dir function that gives you a directory listing 11:28
fsergot Opening, removing etc. :)
moritz in the world of lazy lists, explicit opening and iterating is a poor abstraction
whis is why we have &dir

masak: It binds the lexical to $?PACKAGE.WHO<$a> at block entry 11:34
Which isn't quite what we want here... 11:35
.oO( why can't anything ever be simple... )
moritz because it's not assembler :-)
jnthn oh, but we can leave it as it is 11:36
The problem solves itself if we do that assignment at INIT time, as we should.
so, it needn't get more complicated after all :) 11:37

moritz and I'm not even sure that question even has a sensible answer
benabik Why magnetic domains exist relates to the spin of electrons and other fun quantum mechanical properties, so it's not surprising it doesn't go into that level of detail.

benabik The rm method on the OS dynpmc will do rmdir if given a directory path.
moritz benabik: just found that too. But do we really want to spoil the fun for fsergot++? :-) 14:27
benabik moritz: Generally, I find poking around PMC sources to be more irritating that required. :-D 14:28
Although reading them is far less pain the writing them.
moritz aye
but I find it's the only efficent-ish way to find out if something is implemented
would I look in 'file' or 'os' dynpmc? or maybe in core, not dynpmc? or maybe as a dynop? 14:29
browsing the documentation is just pain, because there's nearly never one obvious place to look
benabik moritz: Also, ack won't search .pmc files by default. It would return the information from the generated .c file, which is far harder to trace back to something useful.
flussence ack --parrot will :) 14:30

moritz it calls the 'new' PIR opcode
flussence new = function name, P = pointer, S = string
moritz returning a PMC, taking an String (S) as the only argument 14:51
that's what you use in rakudo to instantiate a parrot PMC
flussence it's hungarian notation :)

masak of the silly kind.
the hungarian notation, not the cookies. 14:52
fsergot flussence++
moritz++
moritz not really
it's more part of the type system
hungarian notation of the silly kind is what the type system should do, but does not
masak I was referring to www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/Wrong.html -- where a case is presented that "real" Hungarian Notation is actually not that well-known or well-used. 14:55
tl;dr: it's about "kinds", not types. 14:56
moritz yes. And my point was that __PS is not really Hungarian Notation at all 14:57
because the compiler doesn't ignore it
flussence ooh, I didn't know that
14:58 xinming left
benabik The parrot opcodes need to know the register types they're handling. Something which is not always obvious from the results of NQP expressions. 14:59
moritz and there are also multi opcodes 15:00
add__III vs add__NNN vs. add__PPP
benabik Right, which operate based on the type information, which is completely lacking in NQP. So it has to be re-added when dealing with the raw opcodes.
15:01 bluescreen10 joined
moritz it's strangely consistent, in some ways :-) 15:02
masak moritz: oh. good point. it can't be Hungarian notation if it's used by the compiler, rather than just part of the name. 15:03
what it is is more like wonky syntax for a type system.

no, that's correct.
moritz why? 15:09

moritz is the quasi { } around $param necessary at all?
masak that's what I'm testing! 15:10
and no, it wouldn't be a no-op to remove it.
moritz why not?
does quasi { $param } return an AST, that, when evaluated, returns an AST? 15:11
masak in this case, yes.
moritz so macro blitzen($param) { $param }; blitzen('onwards') would return 'onwards'? 15:12

moritz missing sanity check?
no outer set up yep, or something? 15:21
masak the ASTs created by quasis do a few extra tricks right now. the ASTs created during the macro call -- don't. 15:22

PerlJam nah, it was to add a field to an index on table creation so that now my queries run way faster
moritz so not really perl :/ 15:30
PerlJam yeah, I guess that's true. But Perl is my interface to the underlying database, so it's kinda perl
(or just suspend disbelief and pretend it's all perl and rejoice in it :-) 15:31
masak whee 15:34
moritz: I think the proper fix is this: just like quasi ASTs have to be incarnated with the surrounding macro context, so param ASTs have to be incarnated with the surrounding mainline context. 15:35
I hadn't thought of this until now, but it seems quite evident now.
moritz well, the context has to be attached at some point anyway 15:36
masak macro params are AST closures going inwards, and quasi ASTs are AST closures going outwards. both kinds need to be incarnated in a context.
moritz: yeah. it's probably because the new code at apply-time does the "fix up context" that this now blows up. it didn't used to.
masak hates the phrase "it didn't used to", but that seems to be the way to say it in English 15:37

cognominal expect, I need that in a program. At the shell, don't need that much to know what line is the problem
moritz it doesn't resume
cognominal *except that
moritz cognominal: well, you can add that CONTROL phaser to your program.
TimToady nom: CONTROL { default {say "caught" } }; exit; END { say "goody" }

moritz that's what I wanted to demonstrate, actually :-)
cognominal like says TimToady, I don't want to print backtrace for anything but warnings. 16:36
moritz then you need to wait (or contribute) until we have a better mechanism for distinguishing warnings and non-warnings
moritz decommutes 16:37

pmurias colomon: you can use --notest to install a perl much faster
why do perl programmers use macs? 21:55
tadzik I think programmers in general use macs, because they work well for them
benabik The system perl on OS X is universal. 21:56
(i.e. should be able to be linked to 32 and 64 bit programs)
pmurias tadzik: you have a mac?
colomon benabik: it's entirely possible my default perl is from Macports rather than the system perl 21:57
right, the system perl is 5.10, my perl is 5.12.3 21:58
benabik colomon: That would do it. Depressingly few packaging programs bother with making the things they install universal. Which is a shame because it seems much better than the /lib /lib64 split.
tadzik pmurias: nah
but I've seen plenty enough people doing good job on macs to be suprised :)
PerlJam if I weren't using linux, I'd use a mac. Macs are most unix-like but with a nice UI 21:59
