Timbus i have tried to make it so you don't :v
tadzik I wrote gist.github.com/tadzik/5325584
Timbus ahh to alter the runloop
tadzik but I needed to make .connect, .disconnect, .conn and .dispatch public in the original code to make it work
Timbus that makes sense. I wasnt really thinking of modifying the bots loop. I was just going to tie in muevent when parrots IO uh.. worked 09:49

masak 32 signups for p6cc2012. a question: 11:04
if we leave aside how to increase the number of solutions sent in, how would I go about increasing the number of *signups* for p6cc2013?
11:05 PacoAir joined
masak taking into account that I essentially have from now until December to do it. 11:05
jnthn masak: Given how long review takes, isn't increasing the number of reviewers maybe more hot-path? :) 11:06
11:07 bbkr joined
bbkr hi. is anyone working on SMTP protocol in P6? I'm considering it as a next module to code. 11:08
moritz bbkr: not that I'm aware of 11:09
jnthn, masak: we could crowdsource the reviews
masak jnthn: yes, sure. the length of the review process is annoying, but it's not a *problem* per se as long as it takes less than a year. and that wasn't my question at all. ;)
bbkr nice
masak if I crowdsource the reviews, I'd still like to do it within a closed invite-only community. 11:10
I don't know why, I just consider that part of the fun of the contest :)
maybe because I consider crowdsourced things as having much lower quality standards. there's no single person to take responsibility for quality and coherence. 11:11
cf. Using Perl 6 book.
moritz masak: well, you could still curate the suggested reviews into a cohesive whole
masak yes. :) 11:12
I can see a workable mechanism in there, for sure.
moritz maybe "accept patches" would be a better term than "crowdsource"
masak oh, I practically do that already.
after the release of a review, that is.
11:12 tgt joined
masak usually, only the contestants bother enough to send patches. :) 11:13
which also tells you something.
moritz well, accepting patches afterwards doesn't help decreae the review times :-) 11:14
anyway, back to the original question: increasing the number of signups 11:15
I have a few ideas:
1) offer one or two quite tasks that aren't algorithmically challenging
masak ah. contest too hard? :) 11:16
I got that a bit this year.
surprised me.
moritz 2) make it very, very clear that submissions for only a subset of the problems are totally acceptable
masak aye.
that's a good idea.
emphasize the -Ofun bit of it.
moritz well, if I'd operated under the premise "either I solve them all, or don't participate", I wouldn't have participated
right
I don't complain about too hard; if I had had more time, they would have been all doable 11:17
but I can totally see how it might deter others
masak it's funny the way I pick tasks -- I basically mull over them for *months*, and somehow I end up with five for which I feel that "yes, that's a p6cc task". 11:18
not always perfect. for example t5 this year was kind of a weak one.
moritz which one was t5?
ah, bin packing 11:19
masak distribute weights in bags.
but I absolutely *love* t1, t2, t4 and the solutions I got for them. :)
moritz I found t3 to be fun too 11:20
masak yes. small and fun, indeed.
likewise, t2 (sums of cubes), t4 (hex slide), and t5 (planar trees) last year were lots of fun.
they somehow straddle the puzzle worlds and the slightly mathematical/algorithmic. 11:21
in the 2010 edition, p4 (pick pairs of stones) was like that. oh, how I enjoyed that. :D 11:22
11:23 James_ joined
moritz feels that 80% of his twitter activity is retweeting stuff from masak++ and Su-Shee++ 11:23
which is kinda silly, because everybody who follows me should just follow them too 11:24
11:24 James_ is now known as Guest33348 11:27 jac50 left
masak not silly. at any given moment, I bet there are lots who should but don't. 11:28
you're thinking about it like a static thing, when it's really a dynamic thing. :) 11:29
11:29 dmol joined
masak hm. emphasizing that submissions for only a subset are acceptable is good. in some sense it's hard though to broadcast both that message and "this is a contest! may the best one win!" 11:32
moritz maybe have two prices; one "jury price" for the "best" contestant, and one random-ish price for everybody has submitted at least one accepted solution 11:34
masak hm. 11:35
or for some other kind of best effort than just submitting all five excellently. 11:36
moritz right 11:38
masak [Coke]++ # putting Lingua::EN::Syllable on modules.perl6.org 11:42
[Coke]: heh, I was gonna point out a bug in the module but your already fixed it in github.com/coke/p6-lingua-en-sylla...5d23b17ef3 :) 11:51
GlitchMr Is it even possible to determine number of syllables in English? 12:15
arnsholt Not in the most general case, I suspect 12:16
You can probably make a pretty good job of it (especially if you manually segment a lot of words and train a statistical model), but some words are just gonna be weird 12:17
GlitchMr I know that in Russian, you can +m:g:i/<[АЕЁИОУЭЮЯ]>/
But English is strange with its all special cases
arnsholt masak, moritz: Another option might be a grand prize as before for the best overall, and five smaller ones for excellence in each subtask 12:18
GlitchMr: Russian doesn't have any diphtongs?
masak arnsholt: yes, I can see that working. then people would be motivated to excel on a single task. 12:19
12:19 woosley left
masak GlitchMr: "Is it even possible"? yes. the problem takes an input and gives an output. 12:20
there are no side effects :)
it's eminently computable in, I strongly suspect, linear time on the length of the string.
GlitchMr In t2, I did +m:i/<[aeiouy]>+/, but it's very likely it's simply wrong
But mostly appears to work
+m:i:g* 12:21
masak it's such a simplistic solution that I'd be tempted to call it "wrong", yes.
"feel" has 1 syllable, not 2.
GlitchMr masak, have you noticed + here?
arnsholt But "liar" has two =)
GlitchMr lolyeah
masak "beautiful" has 3 syllables, not 5. 12:22
arnsholt And "file" has one
GlitchMr "beautiful" is correctly checked by +m:i:g/<[aeiouy]>+/
The + sign is important
masak ah, yes.
but "file" isn't.
GlitchMr English is so annoying 12:23
arnsholt English syllabification has two important points: 1) Is a vowel cluster a diphtong or two syllables? and 2) Is a vowel at the end silent or not?
masak GlitchMr: though I concede that it's interesting that you as a Slavic-speaker chose to completely ignore the subtleties of English syllable-counting, just because it simple doesn't come up in Russian.
12:23 James_ joined
masak I'll probably work that into the review and the blog post somehow. 12:24
arnsholt And a couple of other annoyances as well. Is y a vowel or a consonant? Sometimes unstressed vowels can be droppen
s/droppen/dropped/
12:24 James_ is now known as Guest47344
masak I was trying to come up with an example of 'y' being a consonant in a word where that matters for syllable counting. 12:24
12:27 Guest33348 left
Juerd It's not even clear if it's a consonant or a vowel in words like ahoy. 12:28
masak right. or 'yes'. 12:29
GlitchMr stackoverflow.com/questions/405161/...-in-a-word
That sounds interesting
arnsholt Consonant in both yes and ahoy, I'd say
masak but in all the cases I can think of, the consonant-y 'y' stands next to a vowel. :)
and so it might as well be counted as a vowel cluster. 12:30
arnsholt Yeah, it's probably consonant next to a vowel but vowel between consonants
GlitchMr: Oh, yes. The top answer there is a good one
The TeX algorithm is very good
moritz avoided automatic syllable counting alltogether in his t2 solution 12:31
masak GlitchMr: next time, consider being interested in the interesting problem during the contest :P
I'm going on a Copenhagen excursion. will be back tonight and re-dive into t2. 12:32
moritz masak: did you mean me?
arnsholt OTOH, I think that algorithm optimises for not making false positives, so if you need -all- the syllable breaks it might not be the best option
masak moritz: no, <GlitchMr> That sounds interesting
moritz ok
masak &
moritz have the appropriate amount of Copenhagen! 12:33
GlitchMr But when Russian is rather simple, the Polish isn't so simple (when letter "u" is involved)... 12:35
Or rather, "au"/"eu" 12:37
12:38 PacoAir left 12:40 PacoAir joined
tadzik ą and ę? :) 12:45
GlitchMr No, I mean "nauka", but "laur". 12:46
In "laur", "u" is spelled like "ł".
Perhaps I simply don't understand the rule, but whatever. 12:47
tadzik true 12:48

how do is etup the right hashes to achieve this using Text::CSV ? 14:50

japhb_ arnsholt, masak, moritz: I strongly agree with arnsholt's suggestion at irclog.perlgeek.de/perl6/2013-04-06#i_6672450 ... when reading the earlier part of the discussion, I was going to suggest that very thing. I didn't sign up this year (or in the past) because I knew there was no chance I'd have time to do anything half-decent on all tasks, thus no chance to win, thus ... meh. But a per-task prize would give someone like me a c 16:34
hance to go "I'll put all of my limited tuits into a task or two, and try to do well that way."
The one thing to note about that plan is that you may find a strong differential between the number of people submitting solutions to the easier tasks versus the hard ones ... but the solution to that is to *point it out* in the sign-up promo, along with the point that contestants may want to put more energy into a single hard task (where there will presumably be fewer rivals) than just doing all the easier ones (where there will be much 16:38
competition).
A little brain hacking on your part, in other words. :-)

ravenclaw the full regex code is: <keyword>\:\(.*?\)\:.*?$ 22:38

masak sounds to me like ravenclaw might have trouble understanding just how little a (non-backtracked) frugal quantifier will match. that's just a guess, though, until seeing the actual code. 22:49
timotimo masak: can you elaborate? would he be better off using <-[:]>+ instead? 22:50
22:50 cognominal__ left
timotimo you're saying the .*? will match one character, then no : will be found and it will backtrack and one at a time it'll add characters until there's a : after it? 22:51
masak japhb: thanks for your p6cc feedback in the backlog. I read it and will keep it in mind for p6cc2013. 22:52
timotimo: by default, .*? matches zero characters.
timotimo oh, of course.
masak timotimo: the shortest way to match "zero or more" is to match zero. :)
timotimo i guess i was thinking of + 22:53
masak as TimToady_++ points out in A05, + is kind of unnecessary :) 22:54
(but it's still very common because it's a useful non-primitive primitive)
it's unnecessary because, for any atom 'a', 'a+' equals 'aa*'
timotimo and everything where 'a' in reality is a 50 characters big definition of some structure? 22:56

flussence a shorthand for "previous regex atom" might be nice to have, actually... though I can't think of any practical use for it other than making this hypothetical /aa*/ shorter
