araujo mm... 04:47
geekosaur, was following the rosettacode examples .. :P
geekosaur rosettacode is known to sometimes be out of date 04:48
araujo geekosaur, what is the "*" all about?
yeah right
geekosaur so, in this case, part of the idea is that you don't want a fencepost error or something to convert a normal selection to an inverted one, so the inverted one has a distinct syntax. 04:49
in general, perl 6 avoids magic values. so, treating a negative number differently from a positive one is bad and should instead be done by using a distinctive mechanism (the Whatever, aka *) 04:51
(sorry for delay, network here is favoring longer outages instead of the usual 45 seconds tonight...)
for more of an explanation you want someonewith a better handle on the logic (i.e. @Larry) although I think this stuff is covered in the apocalypses (if with very out of date syntax) 04:53
araujo I see, thanks geekosaur 04:57
sorear right. 05:14
perl 6 thinks that perl 5's dwim went too far
perl 5 tries to find a sensible way to interpret *anything* you throw at it
perl 6 is happy to double-check you 05:15

jnthn Is anybody up for putting out a * release this week? I'll be able to find tuits for it if nobody else can. 08:58
moritz I could do some work on it, but can't promise to do it all the way 09:00
it also depends on tadzik++ unbreaking panda, otherwise there's not much point in it, IMHO
09:07 lumi_ joined
tadzik I did unbreak it yesterday 09:18
moritz \o/
tadzik and we have new tjs.azalayah.net/new.html 09:19
09:20 domidumont joined
tadzik what is the correct way to write something like '('(<digit>+) {} [<t_elem>* <stem>] % { +$0 }? 09:21
moritz you want a list of stuff separated by the digit that was parsed before it? 09:22
tadzik colomon does, I think :) 09:23
it's from ABC
bbkr very nice page with this module list
moritz or more like ** { +$0 } (ie number used as a repetition count)?
dalek mentaler: 4da24c0 | tadzik++ | template.tt:
Link to emmentaler repo on the generated page
 09:24
tadzik moritz: oh, yes, that what it was initially
I now confuse those two, hm 09:25
moritz tadzik: I think it should work as ** { $0 }, but it doesn't work in rakudo
because rakudo doesn't implement the ** { closure } form
tadzik I see
jnthn I think PerlJam++ was working on implementing that last week.
Not sure how far it got. 09:26
moritz last time I tried to work around it, I tried <stuff>* <?{ $<stuff>.elems == $0 }>, but it didn't work either
I think lumi_++ found a workaround, something evil :-)
tadzik :>
idea: sorting modules on emmentaler page by workingness 09:27
moritz idea: add a flag to those modules included in star 09:28
jnthn Hm, or grouped by workingness
moritz so that it's easy to see if the next star distribution regressed a module
jnthn ooh, yes
moritz I just manually checked the list
(result: LWP::Simple depends on URI, which sometimes failed to load. Precomp stuff) 09:29
tadzik idea: do me SE homework, due today, 4:30 hours
:/
moritz SE?

masak: 20 May 06:49Z <sorear> tell masak Restricted t4-puzzles are in one to one correspondence with Rush Hour puzzles, and are solvable iff the corresponding Rush Hour puzzle is. Proof left as an exercise to the reader
masak: 20 May 06:49Z <sorear> tell masak ergo, t4 (with the usual size generalization caveat) is PSPACE-complete
jnthn o/ masak 09:49
tadzik lumi_: ohh, horrible :)
masak feels sought :)
tadzik hello masak
masak sorear++
sorear: there seems to be a treasure trove of insights to be had just from playing around with different representations of t4, like you just did. mapping the two diagonal directions to a rectangular space hadn't occurred to me. even though I love the hexagonal topology and feel at home in it. 09:57
sorear: though Salvador made a similar transformation, mapping from hex to rect using :horizontal<horizontal>, :slash-diag<vertical>, :backslash-diag<backslash-diag> 09:59
sorta-kinda. the diagonals of the hex board are 60°, whereas the rect diagonals are 45° :) 10:05

moritz loves it when lurkers speak up, even if by accident :-)
kresike moritz, :)
you guys are at a level in perl, that I just wish to reach ... but probably never will 10:36
masak hey, don't self-limit like that. reach! :)
kresike It's a pleasure to see perl6 take shape though
masak yeah.
kresike masak, will do :) 10:37
the reaching I mean ... 10:38
masak there's some nice middle ground there right between self-limiting and "positive thinking": a kind of empirical honesty that helps one improve and learn. 10:40
10:40 cognominal_ joined
kresike I think I'm sitting in the middle of that middle ground right now. 10:41
masak actually, both self-limiting and positive thinking are manifestations of the same basic mistake: rooting one's abilities in a mental model rather than in what's actually the case.
jnthn Positive thinking is a basic mistake? :) 10:42
masak sure it is! :P
jnthn starts considering everything negatively :P 10:43
masak <whoosh>
10:43 cognominal left
masak (sound of the point flying over jnthn's head) :P 10:44
kresike jnthn, don't worry, making mistakes means being human :)
masak +1
the road to a total success is littered with partial failures.
(the problem with sayings like that is that the road to total failure is also littered with partial failures) :)
kresike masak, the definition of total success being ? 10:45
masak (same problem with ghandicon)
kresike: depends on the project or context or ambition.
kresike: but the point is that progression happens through failing and learning from that.
most people don't progress like that because they have something against failure. 10:46
kresike masak, what happens if one doesn't fail ? 10:48
masak then you're not trying hard enough :P
kresike :) 10:49
masak alternatively, if you're one of those people who actually get design and code and tests and models right on the first try: we're hiring ;) 10:50
we have an opening for a Flawless Guy ;)
or Gal.
kresike well looking at my perl code written a few years ago, I don't think I was talking about myself ... besides, I don't believe there is a human being on this ball of dust that hasn't made a mistake in his life
masak right. 10:51
kresike I'm a guy, but sorry, not the flawless one you're thinking of
masak more realistically, I think one becomes a Flawless Guy or Gal by first making all the mistakes, then thinking about them, and then deciding to do things better. and even then one will invariable make mistakes and have to learn more. 10:52
kresike would like to become one though
but the human lifetime is too short for that, I'm afraid
masak from where I'm standing, it's more important to aim for ability to realize one's failings, than not having any in the first place :)

tadzik :0
Alternatively: don't be perfect, but try to be perfect
masak tadzik: I think even trying to be perfect is slightly dangerous. that's why people tend to say that the perfect is the enemy of the good. 10:56
kresike but the principle is the same nevertheless, the one from twitter is a little less painful
masak tadzik: I like the Cult of Done because it formalizes "release early, release often" into a principle of creativity. 10:57
kresike there is no problem with being perfect, the problem is with thinking of yourself as perfect !

brrt hello all 11:10
tadzik hello brrt 11:11
brrt i was wondering - after this summer is over, and supposing i'm succesful, who would be interested in perl6 web hosting? 11:12
coupled, in all likelihood, to at least a postgresql database instance
tadzik huh, emmentaler will be :)
Perl 6 ecosystem in general 11:13
brrt :-) chance happens that i'm forced into an internet connection with much more mbit/s than i could ever need
tadzik the most required thing will be brute CPU power and security sandboxing, I think 11:14
brrt i'm not a great fan of brute cpu power, tends to suck energy 11:15
tadzik well, you do need some to compile and test 100 Perl 6 modules :)
brrt patience? :-p 11:16
seriously though
tadzik that too :)
no, I'm exagarrating, you don't need that much horsepower
brrt depends, of course, on how much traffic you get 11:17
tadzik it currently takes 19 minutes on my cheap c2d
and things are doomed to get a lot faster
brrt perfect world, i'd have a series of cheap powerefficient amd fusion chips

moritz shouts ARM, ARM 11:25
brrt right
although that would be nice 11:26
compact, too 11:27
masak diakopter: [backlog] I would guess "goheadn" works as a semi-hypnotic suggestion on people so that they'll follow instructions better over the telephone. also, it's a bit of redundancy/buffering at the start of a sentence. 11:28
11:33 Woodi joined
masak Woodi: [backlog] methods can totally have methods. it just gives them a narrower scoping, is all. 11:35
jnthn Adding a method is a call on the meta-object, which is held in a contextual. It'd be a pain not to make it work... 11:36
masak r: class A { method foo { my $a = 42; method bar { say $a } } }; given A.new { .bar; .foo; .bar }
p6eval rakudo dca0fa: OUTPUT«Any()␤42␤»
moritz jnthn: one could reset the contextual in a routine_def. And then $!attrib inside the method probably stops working... 11:37
masak it works :)
Woodi masak: I was wondering just in case ending }\n} can be removed for cleaner code :) probably I started inventing s/}/\t/g :)
moritz a mechanism like HAS_SELF might work, but it would be extra work
masak Woodi: not sure what braces you're trying to remove. but check out file-scoped class declarations. 11:38
11:39 cognominal_ left
jnthn moritz: Right, which was kinda my point. It works naturally and we have to add things to break it. It makes life harder, not easier. 11:39
(Makes life harder to make it not work, that is.)
11:40 cognominal joined
masak Woodi: [backlog] using class inheritance to "just add a few more methods" is a design smell. 11:41
Woodi masak: just wondered do new 'metod' word can start new method... instead of: pastebin.com/kXudy9mh but NVM
ah.. 11:42
masak I don't see what's strange about lines with only '}' on them.
Woodi masak: it was kind a 'closed' discusion, in universe without accesors :)
11:42 cognominal_ joined
masak though it's probably a good idea to some extent to try to keep scopes small and indentation shallow. 11:43
the reason I qualify that is that delegation jungles and scattering of responsibilities are also real risks.
Woodi but look: you have two nearly identical classes - they use priv fields. you extract super class and BUM... 11:44
masak sorear: Wikipedia defines operational semantics as "a way to give meaning to computer programs in a mathematically rigorous way". sounds like an algebra for program behavior. 11:45
11:45 cognominal left
masak or a way to deal with such algebras, more likely. 11:47
brrt is it possible that rakudo HEAD contains an infinite loop 11:50
because i'm at 100% CPU for five minutes at least, after optimize 11:51

PerlJam chromatic has just indeirectly changed my thinking about "Using Perl 6" 13:46
masak go on. 13:47
PerlJam The last sentence of www.modernperlbooks.com/mt/2012/05/...hings.html -- "That's also one reason why Modern Perl: The Book uses small test programs to demonstrate language features: working in small steps is too important to ignore."
The chapters in UP6 aren't small enough steps 13:48
the contents of the chapters (not all of them, but most I think) aren't small enough steps
masak agreed. 13:49
13:50 mikemol joined
sjn PerlJam++ # good thoughts about UP6 13:51
PerlJam I realized it's one of the reasons I haven't worked on it lately. Even making a small contribution has a too-large barrier to entry in that it must "fit" within the general framework of the book. for instance, each chapter expounds upon a single bit of code, so, to illustrate something it has to fit into the code or be indirectly explainable by relating to the code. 13:53
masak bug reports deserve to be small. commits deserve to be atomic. book examples deserve to be simple.

jnthn kresike: A bug indicates there's a defect. Sometimes, it feels like a silly mistake led to the defect. Sometimes, though, it raises a deeper issue that may not have been obvious up front, and doesn't really feel obvious even with hindsight. 14:14
Woodi but maybe in future before even writing a subroutine or modifing a line there will be design stage ? somethink like in Bell/Lucent telephony software - before someone change line he need to put half page comment why :) 14:17

jnthn I guess some bugs are a result of implementation errors, and some are a result of design errors. 14:17

Woodi: similarly, when I'm ready to commit, I do a 'git diff' and check what it is I'm committing. if it's not coherent, I fix the commit first.
Woodi but sometimes code is written 'in hurry'...
masak right.
that mostly just means that you end up with a model that may not be consistent and may not carry subsequent changes well, instead of the sane model you took pains designing. 14:19
the argument "we don't have time to model/write tests/think" is a bit self-defeating, I think. (do you really have time to debug a lot, then?) it's easy to make, though. 14:20
Woodi btw. how you imagine 3d code ? :) for now we have 1D. meta-objects can be seen as 2D. if someone paint code meta would be 'under' for me. what should be 'up' ? :) 14:21

in that sense, having them point at right angles is important in itself.

flussence I spent a few hours travelling without net access over the weekend, so I made a thing while I was waiting: github.com/flussence/perl6-Version 15:37
(it doesn't currently do much because I'm really bad at writing grammar-related code)
sisar o/ 15:39
so here is the same code in perl6 and python: gist.github.com/2762953. While the perl6 the loop terminates, in pyhton it is an infinite loop. Though both behaviour have their reasons, I can't decide which is better. 15:41
estrai sisar: is the typo there intentional? 15:42
sisar why python's behaviour is logical, perl6's behaviour is trying to prevent one from potentially infinite loops
estrai: which one?
estrai @rray
sisar oh, no, not intentional. Just missed an 'a' ! 15:43
so, perl6 makes a temporary copy of @array before it even starts looping. Why ? 15:44
kresike bye all
15:45 kresike left
flussence it counts the array then iterates over it 15:45
15:45 joeb_ joined
sisar (typo fixed) 15:45
flussence copying every array just to loop over it would be crazy inefficient, I think only PHP does that (and only because it uses copy on write)
sisar flussence: what are merits of that, counting before iterating ? 15:46
15:46 joeb_ left, job_ joined
sisar flussence: aye, making a copy would be super inefficient. 15:47
15:47 am0c joined
flussence if you have an SQL result pretending to be an array, you don't want it going off and calling a .count that does "select count(*)" on every iteration 15:47
15:48 job_ left
sisar flussence: i'm sorry i'm not familiar with SQL 15:48
geekosaur don't worry about it. point is that an array might not be an array, it might be a big chunk of code pretending to be an array 15:49
and you don't want to hammer that big chunk of code pointlessly
flussence it'd be like calling strlen() in C on a really big string
sisar geekosaur, flussence: would you say pyhton is wrong(ish) ? 15:50
*python
TimToady the whole point of lazy lists is that you never ask for the size of something you're iterating over if you can help it 15:51
and I think an array iterator should be able to track a growing array without snapshotting the old length 15:52
flussence that makes sense, but I can't imagine it being fun to implement :) 15:54
geekosaur sisar, I am not sure I'd say that; there are tradeoffs in language design and implementation

jnthn Well, this is the point where I start asking things like, "is inheritance the right thing here?" :)
Woodi yes, it is natural in many cases 17:40
jnthn masak: Well, the "protected" keyword in things like C#/Java gives you dependencies in that direction, without having to declare them upfront. I guess that's arguably worse. :)
Woodi all that OO programming is just twiking and fixing and using methods from classes up in hierarchy... 17:41

TimToady otoh, niecza already had an interesting direction in terms of trying to bootstrap a compiler in Perl 6, which rakudo is not trying to do (at least, not yet) 18:13
eventually, I'd like to see your C# compiler actually written in the C# subset of Perl 6. :) 18:14
jnthn TimToady: How's that differ from Rakudo's compiler being written in the NQP subset of Perl 6? :)
TimToady not that much different, but I'd rather think we're converging on eating our own dogfood than someone else's 18:16
jnthn Ah, OK :) 18:17
TimToady to the extent to which NQP is better for this than Perl 6 is, to that extent Perl 6 has not yet attained my long-term goal :)
I recognize the need for scaffolding though 18:18
I also recognize that my ideal Perl 6 is not something that is actually possible, and there will always be things that other languages (nqp included) are likely to be better at 18:20
but at some point "close enough" becomes "close enough to pay the price for convergence" 18:21
native types will help a lot there, when we get things ironed out a little better
jnthn *nod* 18:22
NQP will get native types in the near future.
Well 18:23

It already has the attributes.
18:24 pyrimidine left
TimToady sorear: another approach would be to write a P6-to-C# translator, and write your compiler in a dialect that translates easily, much like the STD-to-p5 trick. 18:26
with support for a restricte set of native types, say... 18:27

phenny jnthn: I'll pass that on when pmichaud is around.
TimToady also wonders to what extent writing a Perl 6 compiler in C# will end up merely inventing another Perl 6 interpreter... 18:34

sorear diakopter: what about it don't you understand? 21:06
it looks like sisar wants index semantics for List iterators, rather than the current copy semantics 21:07
DreamingInCode heh, apologies. Punjabii tandoor is best enjoyed away from expensive keyboards P:

masak sorear: index semantics will never work anyway for something like `for @a, @b` 21:08
well, it could, perhaps, but it would be complex and probably violate someone's Least Surprise.
sorear masak: I think that for @a, @b can be made to do something unsuprising

DreamingInCode anyhow, from the corporate "getting shit done" perspective, perl6 offers a pleasing siren song to those looking for a more futureproof toolbox than perl5 is prepared to offer. Unfortunately with the lack of a clear and authoritative perl 6 cpan presence, it becomes relegated to "someday" status 21:10
sorear r: my @list = 1..10; my $index = 0; while ($index < @list) { push @list, @list[$index] if $index %% 2; $index++ } ; say @list 21:11

[Coke] doesn't see any send from pmichaud to p6u since may 8th. 21:12
diakopter sorear: ok, thanks
sorear I just googled 'punjabii tandoor' and got a bunch of places offering to sell it to me but nothing about what it *is*
I conjecture it may be a subconcept of 'food'
DreamingInCode heh, it's a hole-in-the-wall indian place in mira mesa (San Diego) 21:13
[Coke] try "tandoori chicken" as a more likely hit.
21:13 cognominal joined
geekosaur diakopter, every other from the original list ++ every other from that ++ every other from that, etc. until the additions no longer add enough for there to be an every other (hence "5 5" at the end) 21:13
[Coke] not quite the same, but will give you a flavor (HA) about what the food DreamingInCode's place might be like.
sisar sorear: Punjabi tandoor refers to Chicken dish originating from Punjab, India or Punjab, Pakistan
s/dish/preparation 21:14
[Coke] rant: I can't have indian for dinner tonight!
sisar [Coke]: your favorite Indian dish is ? 21:15
DreamingInCode all of them?
sisar :) 21:16
.ety tandoor
phenny "1660s, from Turkish pronunciation of Pers. and Arabic tannur oven, portable furnace (see tandoori)." - etymonline.com
sisar ^thats the etymology of tandoor
[Coke] sisar; I like the lamb phaal, though it's painfully hot. many need to step down from the super hot version. 21:17
if I want something with great flavor but not as much heat, the korma is a good choice.
but mainly I like the buffet where I can do what DreamingInCode said. ;) 21:18
er, s/many/I may/
(phaal) First time I got "extra spicy" where I was SURE they were not holding back. ;) 21:19
DreamingInCode lol, if only cpan6 was half as robust as this food-related conversation.
tadzik patches welcome 21:20
[Coke] phaal welcome.
DreamingInCode would be happy to contribute, but I think it's more of a marketing problem 21:21

DreamingInCode Given that CPAN is the lifeblood of perl 5, In my opinion, cpan6.org's stunning lack of direction is actively damaging perl6's credibility. 21:24
masak DreamingInCode: only if you think cpan6.org has anything to do with Perl 6. 21:25
[Coke] DreamingInCode: see modules.perl6.org
diakopter "CPAN6 is not even usable on the moment (as is Perl6)."
DreamingInCode exactly
flussence perl6 works fine 21:26
21:26 s1n joined
flussence cpan6 appears to be an attention-seeking domain squatter 21:26
tadzik :)
masak flussence: a bit more than that... but not much.
DreamingInCode well, whoever, whatever the reason... it's the first place most people go when considering perl6 ( myself included )
masak really?
why?
diakopter not just attention-seeking; it appears to have stolen 30k€
[Coke] someone should write mark overmeer a nice note asking him to update that page and at least link to the official perl6 site (instead of the old tpf site.)
masak aye. 21:27
flussence wait, what?
diakopter masak: that was one of the first places I found years ago
masak :(
DreamingInCode well, I can only speak for myself, but from the perspective of a company looking to get stuff done, CPAN is a godsent
diakopter "the foundation Stichting NLnet contributes 30k€ to support the initial development of code and user community"
with nothing to show for it
masak "CPAN6" doesn't even make much sense as an acronym. neither does "6PAN", which I see sometimes. 21:28
linguistically, it feels like "hm, CPAN did something right, let's copy the name".
...badly.
[Coke] diakopter: that may be referring to nlnet's initial parrot support.
DreamingInCode I don't suppose it matters what the domain is, only that it's the loudest voice in the room ( or on a google search at least )
[Coke] DreamingInCode: what did you google for? 21:29
tadzik I don't see how that's the loudtest voice in the room
[Coke] not "perl6".
DreamingInCode been a while since I've dug into it... but would have been something to the effect of cpan perl 6
certainly I've not heard much commotion about something more authoritative 21:30
diakopter nlnet.nl/project/cpan6/how.html
[CPAN6 -- concluded on 2011/02]
The NLnet Foundation supports Mark Overmeer to promote the design and to start implementing CPAN6 with 30,000 euro.
masak wow.
DreamingInCode a tidy sum
[Coke] holy CRAP! 21:31
masak well, he does know how to make a living, I'll give him that.
flussence
.oO( maybe I should start accepting funds for a php PECL6... )
diakopter I wonder what "concluded on 2011/02" means.
masak but CPAN6 isn't really targeted for Perl 6's needs, and never was.
sorear how long can you live in .nl on 30k€?
DreamingInCode to me, an authoritative and well marketed CPAN style archive hub (distributed or otherwise) is the field of dreams for perl6 21:32
If you build it, they will come
flussence sorear: afaik, cost of living there is average for .eu
DreamingInCode until then, for businesses at least, it's "someday"
diakopter 2002-present, free-lancer
DreamingInCode or worse: Ruby
diakopter Currently a free-lancer working under the name MARKOV Solutions . My interests lie primarily in the area of the unusually complex software.
[Coke] so, anyway, his email address is probably [email@hidden.address] 21:33
masak DreamingInCode: I think any module repository for Perl 6 will have to evolve in a by-need/pain-driven manner.
flussence does ruby use something besides ad-hoc github repos?
[Coke] if anyone does email him, I encourage them to use the same tone they'd use in channel.
diakopter [email@hidden.address] seems prominent on his business website
masak 'night, #perl6
[Coke] even better.
masak: WAIT!
masak waits
[Coke] masak: buenos suenos! 21:34
