japhb I see there was a big argument earlier about database categories, in which "what Google does" came up a few times. Unless they've actually worked for Google, it's likely that what any given person thinks Google does on the inside is probably at least missing some nuance, if not just plain wrong. There's a LOT more complexity than simple assumptions would indicate. I'd be willing to bet the same is true at the other top-tier tech companies. 01:04

arnsholt o/ masak
DrForr wow, almost afternoon here. I guess I'd better get something accomplished. 08:46
arnsholt has ordered more stuff for his new keyboard
And read about SOAP 08:47
DrForr As keyboards normally *are* accessories, I assume this is of the all-keys-in-a-row variety? :) 08:48
masak arnsholt: my heartfelt sympathy
arnsholt DrForr: Dampener rings to put under the keycaps
It's a mechanical keyboard, and recent feedback from colleagues have indicated that a bit of soundproofing may be in order =) 08:49
DrForr Ah.
masak been there, done that :) 08:50
arnsholt And a few custom keycaps while I'm at it: a red escape key and a pair of Portal keycaps to put on the Windows keys
masak: I've only read a tiny bit, so I'm not scarred for life just yet 08:52
And other people have implemented most of the SOAP stuff. Apparently, I'm supposed to implement MTOM (sending binary stuff in binary next to the XML, basically) in existing code
jnthn so far today fixed 2 bugs and ate a plum 08:53
I liked the plum more than the bugs.
DrForr I guess I'm one of the last people to not look at my keyboard when typing :)
arnsholt Yeah, I need to learn to touch type properly, really
But the custom keycaps are mostly just bling =) 08:54
jnthn was lucky enough to get typing lessons when he was young 08:56
DrForr Same here.
arnsholt We were supposed to learn it at school when I Was about 16, but at that point it was too late for me
jast it's never too late! 08:57
jnthn Though I started on a typewriter. After a while of using the home computer's keyboard in a similar manner, I got told off for being too loud and busting the space bar. :P 08:58
DrForr Drape a tea towel over your hands and start making errors. You'll learn very quickly where the backspace key is :)
arnsholt Yeah, it's mostly a question of time and being reluctant to go through the effort of breaking two decades of muscle memory of faking it
jast in my experience, muscle memory isn't that hard to change if you don't make a big deal out of it
arnsholt jnthn: I typed on a Model M clone for many years. I have been told similar things =)
DrForr On occasion I switch to Dvorak just for the hell of it. And pissing off anyone who tries to type on my laptops. 08:59
jast it does take time, though, no argument there

Woodi: maybe Perl 6 is a little bit better than Perl 5 at detecting and preventing "useless double negations". `unless` + `else` is one. `!!expr` is another -- Perl 6 has `?expr` 11:20

ShimmerFairy OK, how do I get a C++ style namespace thing going, where I can use abbreviated names inside and not outside? That is, module A { class B { ... }; class C { my B $.d; } }, and then anyone who 'use's the module has to use A::B etc.? 11:38
11:39 itaipu left, itaipu joined
lizmat ShimmerFairy: -use- is compunit level, so the only thing you can use is the module A 11:40
11:40 domidumont joined
lizmat if you really want to support A::B, you would have to make that a separate compunit (file) which brings the problem of not being able to refer to B from C without prefixing A:: 11:41
hope I made sense ? 11:42
ShimmerFairy lizmat: huh, I could swear an our-scoped thing in a module got exported so that you could skip the A::, but apparently not? 'class B' apparently forces A::B, where I thought I need to do stuff like 'my class B is export' or such
lizmat you were asking about forcing people to have to say "use A::B" 11:43
you can only -use- a compilation unit (compunit) 11:44
class B inside module A is part of the compunit in which it lives, you cannot -use- it by itself
ShimmerFairy lizmat: no I wasn't, I was asking about forcing people not to do things like 'use A; say B'. I was having that issue when I thought 'my class Foo is export' would do what I wanted.
lizmat aaaahhhhh 11:45
use ne -use- :-)
ShimmerFairy I don't know why, but I really hate and find it hard to wrap my head around how Perl 6 handles names and "namespaces" and such. C++'s 'namespace' approach is so much easier for me. 11:46
masak I tend to not nest things in blocks so much nowadays. 11:47
I do things in separate compunits, like lizmat++ suggested. that seems to work for me.
ShimmerFairy masak: the problem is that I don't like typing out long names a bunch (e.g. class Really::Long::Name::B { has Really::Long::Name::A $.foo } ), and I'm not always a fan of a Java-esque "one class per file" approach. 11:48
lizmat putting this in Foo.pm: module Foo { class A is export { } } 11:49
ShimmerFairy If it's a big class, sure, but if I'm just writing up a bunch of AST node classes, one per file would be more annoying than helpful.
lizmat and then use Foo; makes Foo::A appear in scope
ShimmerFairy: so adding "is export" to the class seems to do the trick, if I understand what you want 11:50
ShimmerFairy lizmat: except I (somehow) don't need the 'is export' even. I don't even know why.
lizmat ah, indeed... 11:53
I guess that's because classes are by default "our" rather than "my"
if I change it to "my class A { }", it doesn't work, not even with "is export" added... 11:54
which feels like a bug to me
ShimmerFairy lizmat: I could swear that before I discovered our-scoped things in a module would export as its short name, hence why I was trying something like "my class Foo is export" 11:55
lizmat ShimmerFairy: not sure what to make of the current state, hope for some feedback from TimToady jnthn masak moritz 11:59
ShimmerFairy lizmat: because I really, really dislike how names are handled at the moment. Like I said, C++'s ways are much easier and sensible for me. (I also like how 'namespace Foo { }' just means "put these things in a bucket called 'Foo'") 12:01
lizmat well, that's 'package' for you in Perl
ShimmerFairy really, you're allowed to write 'package Foo' multiple times? I thought that was just as impossible as doing the same with 'module' and such. 12:02
moritz our-scoped and "is export" are orthogonal 12:03
12:04 Ven` joined
moritz and several times "package" works because a package is the stub for more specialized packages, like classes, modules, roles, grammars 12:07
ShimmerFairy I was wondering if I'd have to end up making a NamespaceHOW to have things done like I want :) 12:08

13:52 araujo__ left 13:53 mcmillhj left
timotimo in principle a module could be written that gives you the same API as asyncore 13:53
except we can't "handle_expt" because moarvm doesn't support OOB data for TCP sockets
mullagainn yeah, that is what I am seeing. Also looking at the doc I cant see anything related to raw sockets. 13:54
timotimo correct, we don't have raw socket support at the moment
of course, if you really need it, you can NativeCall into libc for that
mullagainn at all or just within the Async module?
timotimo actually ... i don't know
mst surely you'd be better NCing into libuv 13:55
timotimo we currently use libuv for sockets of all kinds (even synchronous) so maybe all it needs is to set a flag to some value and we'd get a raw socket instead of a tcp socket?
mst ... which I'm now sorely tempted to try at some point to see if I can get at unix sockets
13:56 mcmillhj joined
timotimo :) 13:56
jnthn ...alternatively, just patch IO::Socket::Async given it's based on libuv anyway :)
timotimo right
i'm not sure what parts are needed to support unix domain sockets or raw sockets
jnthn The only reason it doesn't expose those things is nobody got around to it yet.
timotimo maybe it's super easy and doesn't even require code in moarvm
jnthn timotimo: Probably needs a bit
13:56 prammer left
timotimo it'd likely require someone to write some failing tests first :) 13:57
mst jnthn: well, yes, that's why I was suggesting NCing into libuv
since hopefully I can manage to re-use at least -some- of the existing stuff that way
timotimo mst: do note that moarvm will not give you access to its _uv structs
you also don't get access to MVMThreadContext structs from user code
unless, you know, you dig through process memory for something that looks like it could be a TC 13:58
like, if you read out the stack pointer you can surely find the TC
mst and then NativeCall into MoarVM
it'll be fine
jnthn Is this your way to make me drop other stuff to do it properly? :P

Well, not on me, but :P 13:59

brrt libuv is kind of aggressive about 'owning' sockets though 14:05
timotimo a bit, yeah
you'll probably want to create your own uv_loop struct and create the sockets on your own ;) 14:06
pmurias NativeCalling into MoarVM dependencies seems like inventing a more evil way to do XS ;) 14:07
timotimo we can have "use VISHNUS-MULTI-ARMED-FORM;" and then "nqp::becomedeathdestroyerofworlds()" to get the current MVMThreadContext
brrt that seems like it'd satisfy mst just fine 14:09
pmurias refuses to implement getting the current MVMThreadContext on the js backend ;)

Jolust Is it correct to say that when @a».bar will be made auto-threaded that the compiler will figure out the best number of threads to use for the operation? 15:07
Or will it always use a specific number of threads
timotimo there's no guarantees about this :) 15:08
perlpilot Jolust: it's correct to say "*magic happens*" :)
15:09 khw joined
Jolust perlpilot: but what does it mean? What does it mean to "auto-thread"? Why is it useful? 15:09
what sort of magic 15:10
jnthn It'll use whatever logic .hyper and .race use by default. At the moment that's a fixed default value, but it'll likely move to be based on the number of cores in the shorter term, and to do some kind of hill-climbing algo or similar in the longer term
brrt it means that the compiler has the liberty to schedule it to run on multiple threads
timotimo rakudo may change how it decides how to automatically allocate threads for your task
jnthn Quite possibly with some per-callsite stats
brrt doesn't mean that it does, but it can, and it makes sense depending on how much individual time each of the operations take
jnthn So I'd expect it'll, on average, get smarter with thime. :) 15:11
*time
Jolust Alright. Thanks.
timotimo thime makes you smarter? damn
timotimo raids kitchen drawers
perlpilot jnthn: but will it be manually tunable for those rare cases where you want to force a certain number of threads?
brrt i don't expect so perlpilot
Jolust perlpilot: you'd use a hyper/race for those cases, I'd think 15:12
timotimo you can use .race and .hyper instead of .>>
brrt (question wasn't directed at me, i know)
timotimo yeah, those take two arguments that let you tune exactly how things go down
jnthn perlpilot: I think the >>.foo syntax will just pick the defaults, and what others have said for configuring it.
timotimo well, not *exactly*, it's really just two knobs, but it lets you decide enough, IMO
you can potentially override the HYPER_* subs in your program scope? 15:13
though probably not
we might enable that, though
perlpilot Jolust, timotimo: I was thinking more along the lines of forcing some number of threads for all >>. operations. 15:14
in any case, my imaginary scenario is sated ;) 15:15
jnthn perlpilot: @a>>.foo is jsut short for @a.hyper.map(*.foo)
15:15 zacts left

raydiak wonders what the dress code is in this sort of establishment...
optikalmouse my only issue with perl6 so far is that there seems to be a lag in the startup time?
I should time it but is that something usually happens or is it a problem specific to my crappy laptop?
timotimo raydiak: only dress in a way that makes you comfortable and doesn't make others uncomfortable on purpose? :)
masak optikalmouse: it probably gets exacerbated with a crappy laptop
timotimo optikalmouse: it starts in 0.1s
masak optikalmouse: but yes, it's there. it's not nearly as fast as Perl 5
optikalmouse k will time when I get home 18:59

timotimo starting it multiple times in a row to make sure caches are warm is important
Xliff_ At this point, I do not know what to do about that. I don't even know what that error message means.

robertle hi folks, I am trying to understand how perl6 finds stuff that i "use". is my undertsanding correct that a .pm6 that gets properly installed (CompUnit::Repository::Installation), all contents are inspected and indexed, so it could contain two classes with different names and I could "use" them and they would be found. whereas if the .pm6 is "only" in a CompUnit::Repository::FileSystem, then the path and 19:56
filename are used to look up what I get? so if the contents of the file do not match the filename, then I can't "use" it? seems at odds...

timotimo robertle: installed modules require a meta.json that has a "provides" section 20:25
20:25 optikalmouse left
timotimo the CU::R::FileSystem stuff is for when you use something like -Ilib or "use lib './foo/'" 20:25
(usually you'd just spell that "use lib 'foo'", but i thought i added path markers for clarity) 20:26
20:26 ZoffixMobile joined 20:27 canopus joined
robertle timotimo: right, I got that. what I thought was surprising that a .pm6 that gets put into ::Installation has "provides" for anything in the file. e.g. 20:28
"provides" : { ... "SVG::Plot::AxisPosition" : { "lib/SVG/Plot.pm" : { ...} }, ... "SVG::Plot" : { "lib/SVG/Plot.pm" : { ...} ...
timotimo oh? 20:29
that's weird?
robertle so the file "lib/SVG/Plot.pm" provides both SVG::Plot::AxisPosition and SVG::Plot
I tried, I can "use" both
20:29 eliasr joined
robertle if I put a similar .pm6, with two types in it, into a "lib" irectory, then I can only "use" the filename, not what's inside 20:30
20:30 matt_ left
ZoffixMobile Yeah, I noticed that with IRC::Client too 20:30
timotimo well, what you "use" refers to a Compilation Unit, which can be a class (you'd usually spell that "unit class") or a module or a grammar or whatever
robertle so as long as each .pm6 only contains a single type, and that type matches the filename/path the stwo behave the same
timotimo yeah, using stuff isn't supposed to be about types in files, it's about the compunit you want that has what you need in it
that's how i understand it anyway
robertle I am trying to do some sort of "pluggable" thing...
timotimo but this is absolutely not my area of expertise
20:31 acrussell left
timotimo ah 20:31
robertle yeah, compunit would make sense...
timotimo github.com/tony-o/perl6-pluggable - like this
20:32 cpage_ joined
robertle timotimo: I am working of just that, but it doesn't work (uses @INC and does not deal with CompUnit::Repository::Installation 20:32
trying to improve it
timotimo oh, damn
that's very good! :)
robertle I totally need Pluggable, I abuse it in perl5 so bad it's not funny anymore
tadzik :) 20:33
ZoffixMobile I think CURI lets you query installed stuff
robertle what's CURI? never heard of it... 20:34
timotimo yup
that's short for CompUnit::Repository::Installation
robertle ah, *that*!
ok, I did see the .installed() method, but can't get it to work and can't understand it from looking at the code either 20:35
20:36 poohman joined
timotimo i think you pass it a matcher or something? 20:36
nine no arguments
timotimo ah 20:39
nine oh, it's b0rked
robertle I tried that, but never get anything back. either Nil or "Method 'basename' not found for invocant of class 'Any'"
nine Classic Perl bug, too: method distribution($id) { InstalledDistribution.new(self!read-dist($_.basename), :prefix(self.prefix)) } 20:40
There's no $_ there
timotimo aaaah
robertle with that fixed Pluggable would et much shorter, and I would not have to do my own json file parsing, which is nice because I am only second-guessing the format of that file 20:41
but still need to search filesystem repo's, they don't have a "installed"
nine robertle: filesystem repos are also much simpler
robertle yeah, I do File::Find and that's it... 20:42
20:43 poohman left, sjoshi left

hm, but the check for the values isn't a simple min any more 20:51

at least not at this point in time
20:53 rindolf left
timotimo oh? i didn't realize 20:53
lizmat well, for one you're invoking smart matching
timotimo and given without when?
lizmat that I'm not so sure about
robertle I also have a syntax question, one that is kinda hard to google for: what's "$.method()" mean? I am confused about the "naked" dollar sigil... is it another way to say "self" ?
timotimo the only when i have is for SDL event, which ought to be very rare
unless you wiggle your mouse about a whole lot
lizmat robertle: yes 20:54
timotimo yes, it's a way to spell "self"
it's mostly used for accessors
lizmat $.foo is the same as self.foo
timotimo because you write "has $.foo", so you can access $.foo, too
(because perl6 generates an accessor method with the name of the attribute)
robertle great! looks more magic than it is
timotimo right
a profile of that script i posted shows, that enqueue is the most expensive routine 20:57

However I haven't been able to get much help.
timotimo yeah, i have no idea what's wrong there :(
Xliff_ I'm at wits end over that.
timotimo have you already written a bit of code for CArray's STORE?
Xliff_ Yes. Nothing for public consumption. 22:47
Not even close.
timotimo oh
any questions i can help with?
22:47 firstdayonthejob left
Xliff_ Mainly because I am not sure if I should be linking into the typed roles, or into the class itself. 22:48
After several false starts with a role implementation (I used IntTypedCArray for starters) I think I might need to be doing it in the class. 22:49
I haven't had near enough time recently to give it the attention it deserves.
timotimo it's good enough to put it into the main, but putting special methods into the roles might be an optimization for the future 22:50
