FROGGS wow, what a mess 00:01
diakopter BenGoldberg: no, it's just the amount of significant digits provided in the code for pi 00:02
FROGGS BenGoldberg: if a certain precision of pi is specced, then it could be a n nieczabug

TimToady well, nobody has done perlcabal.org/syn/S02.html#Allomorphic_Rats yet 00:29
timotimo yeah :( 00:30
jnthn timotimo: Weren't you looking for what to do next? ;) 00:32
timotimo enh :|
00:32 benabik left
timotimo for that i'd need to get the multiple inheritance thing going, no? 00:32
jnthn Well, we already ahve multiple inheritance
And RatStr is the easy case
'cus Rat doesn't have weird boxing stuff going on. 00:33
timotimo oh
well, that's fair
i don't think i'll get it in time for this release though.
jnthn uh, box target I mean.
That's fine :)
I'm happy enough if not too many more things land before the release :)
timotimo bitbucket has "sign in with github" and an "import ssh keys from github" button 00:37
also, there's a "clone from github" button 00:38
FROGGS nqp-m -e 'say("ABCabc123" ~~ /<+[C..Z]+:gc<Ll>>+/)'
Cabc
diakopter timotimo: that's cool
FROGGS I might add this after release... (I need to codegen for parrot and jvm) 00:39
timotimo what exactly did you fix there? 00:40
oh, now i get it, it's inside the < ... >
the :gc
FROGGS right 00:42
a colonpair, in theory 00:43

lue I just realized some people may want "use encoding" to specify the code file's encoding, not the encoding they wish to handle text in :/ . Something to mull over while I'm afk. 00:47

jnthn diakopter: So...C is dead? :) 00:50
diakopter no.. this was a survey about technologies 00:51
jnthn The graph is a curious mix 00:52
00:52 benabik joined
diakopter (Java's not on there, but Eclipse is) 00:53
Mouq diakopter: I'm trying to find what the survey was, though. It could've just been a form of names wich checkboxed next to them
diakopter it's at the bottom 00:54
yeah, seems the case
Mouq *names with checkboxes
diakopter (the form
)
441 self-selected respondents mostly from among visitors to codeproject, which is very much .net/web centric
jnthn I got some survey recently that was so hip it didn't list any of the technologies I work with day to day aside from JavaScript :) 01:00
01:11 grondilu joined
grondilu sees on github.com/coke/perl6-roast-data/b..._rates.csv that moar has taken the lead?! Great news! 01:12
benabik I wonder why JVM regressed so much? 01:13
FROGGS grondilu: due to the fact that I messed up a huge test file for parrot and jvm
benabik FROGGS: let us have this moment. ;-)
FROGGS everything is back to normal tomorrow :o)
moar is then somewhere at >99%
grondilu ahh, ok. 01:15

FROGGS O.<
tadzik: you are coming to Poznań too? :D 09:57
tadzik FROGGS: sure :)
FROGGS \o/
tadzik yay, meetup!
FROGGS sad that we have to wait until may :/
yeah
and it is awesome, it is just a bit more than 2.5 hours from berlin by train 09:58
tadzik I wonder how far from Warsaw by train..
FROGGS (though, I need about an hour from south berlin to that station)
tadzik yeah, it can be 2.5 hours too :)
hoelzro tadzik: where is that gif from? 09:59
FROGGS tadzik: 16 hours and one minute
tadzik hoelzro: uh, from the internet? P
hoelzro: I saw it on reddit a while back, and was able to google it just now
hoelzro ah ha
I thought it may have been a bug from a game or something =P
tadzik sth like "james bond opening get down gif"
it is a bug from a game :) 10:00
FROGGS lol, google says you travel via frankfurt >.<

FROGGS tadzik: no, Frankfurt (Oder), at least 10:02
tadzik but why 16 hours :o
with a 14 hour wait? 10:03
FROGGS warsaw to frankfurt is about 7 hours it seems
tadzik oh!
I didn't look at google :)
FROGGS I don't know otehr pages to look for trains outside of germany :o) 10:04
tadzik :)
FROGGS my connections shows up pretty accurate though
tadzik pkp.pl is the only train webpage I ever neded
it's a valley of tears sometimes, but it can be nice
last time I was going to Kraków, and Geothe instutute left free books inside the train 10:05
FROGGS well, I've got the problem that I cant read it :/
10:05 jnap left, grondilu joined
tadzik like a preview books, and I can bring it to the Geothe Institute and get a full-sized book of a German author 10:05

www.rozklad-pkp.pl/bin/query.exe/pn? is what you care about
it's pretty confusing though, even in Polish 10:06
FROGGS ha, that is the same software as we use in berlin it seems :o)
tadzik the main page also says: Recommended: Train Delays
10:07 Mouq left
tadzik I don't think that people riding a train for 24 hours instead of 3 appreciate the humour 10:07
FROGGS ohh dear... I will bug you about train station namen in may then, okay?
tadzik sure
FROGGS names*
tadzik you're most likely interested in Poznań Główny
FROGGS it is rediculous that Poznań does not show up when you type Poznan 10:08
at least to me 10:09

timotimo oh!
that's not good
FROGGS I know
jnthn FROGGS: Does this show up in the daily runs? 13:05
FROGGS jnthn: yes, since I fixed the test file yesterday
it was skipped
jnthn Oh, darn...
FROGGS yeah 13:06
it was meant to be skipped for jvm, but was skipped for all ... for five months
jnthn So we have no idea when it started failing :( 13:07
FROGGS correct
jnthn otoh, if sockets were actually busted then we'd probably have heard about it...iirc, Panda relies on them to obtain its stuff. 13:08
13:08 jnap left
moritz and people have been developing Net::IRC 13:08
jnthn Busted as in "don't work at all"
Right
Doesn't mean nothing is wrong, though.
colomon jnthn: last I looked, panda just called curl (or something like that)
13:08 yves joined
FROGGS it times out I think 13:09
but just started now
colomon hmmm, Panda does have one call to IO::Socket
IO::Socket::INET 13:10
jnthn my $s = IO::Socket::INET.new(:host<feather.perl6.nl>, :port(3000)); 13:11
yeah
it's using it to get the module list
colomon is trying it now, but pandabrew insisted on rebootstraping, so it may take a while
also, I think I'm running it on JVM at the moment. ;) 13:12
um 13:13
FROGGS not ok 1 - [44s] echo server and client 13:15
# got: '===SORRY!===

FROGGS aha
jnthn No sockets in Moar yet 13:17
FROGGS I know, but the TAP I pasted is from perl6-p 13:18
jnthn FROGGS: Is it accidentally invokving a perl6 (that happens to be perl6-m) at some point? 13:19
FROGGS >.<
jnthn++
but my configure line was: perl Configure.pl --backends=parrot,jvm,moar --prefix=../nqp/install && make install 13:20
k, now it is only a timeout 13:22
jnthn Does it timeout on JVM too?
(I know it's skipped, but if you try to run it...)
FROGGS yes, but it invokes ./perl6 anyway... I fixing that 13:24
jvm does work now, at least the first test 13:27
jnthn k
FROGGS p: say $*EXECUTABLE_NAME.path.absolute

and now it does not time out for parrot? 13:29
the answer came in 3s
13:29 skids left
jnthn What did you change? 13:31
FROGGS just gave it the right binary name
but I think the moar runner was to blame
jnthn ah

IS there a doc somewhere that explains the rationale behind having some unicode+texas ops and not others ? 15:50
skids was thinking of doing a module that mapped most existing core ops to most appropriate unicode
Mainly just to provide a place for people to argue about which ones were most appropriate. 15:51
Though IIRC 'is tighter'/'is equiv'/etc are NYI.
moritz PerlJam: the "core" Unicode operators are all in the Latin-1 range
skids: I think they are implemented 15:52
PerlJam: only the set operators fall out of that schema
PerlJam moritz: Aye, but is that "the" answer. (I honestly never gave it much thought until now). 15:54

PerlJam (i.e., when people ask why we don't have … and →, what do we say?)
colomon I'm in favor of … if for no better reason that my IRC client seems to decide to substitute it when I type three . 15:55
15:58 Psyche^_ joined 16:00 FROGGS joined
colomon well, and it would be a Bad Thing to let people define it to mean something else. 16:00
FROGGS *brrrr*, it is pretty damn cold on a bike these days
Juerd colomon: That means you'd have to predefine all the right arrows...
colomon (I mean, I guess we would allow it anyway, but having it default to the right thing seems sensible)
Juerd I think that any character that is not present on any standard keyboard layout, should not be used :) 16:01
colomon p6 wildly disagrees with you on that one.
Juerd I know
PerlJam doesn't see any guillemets on his keyboard
Juerd PerlJam: They are on some standard keyboard layouts though. 16:02
(Yes, there is a → on my keyboard, but that's a cursor key :))
16:02 Psyche^ left
nwc10 I have a ⌘ key, but if I press it nothing seems to happen :-) 16:03
to be fair, I also have a ⏏ which does do something.
PerlJam Juerd: maybe if programming langauges start using unicode more, the "standard keyboard layouts" will start including unicode characters 16:04
skids I think it's important to keep most of the non-typable characters out of the core distro as a warning that they should only be used in domain-specific devel environments, but also to stake claim to some obvious ones so they don't get abused. Thus, module. 16:06
(One module to bind them all)
Juerd PerlJam: Well, tbh I've just mappend compose + arrow to their respective symbols 16:07
skids But as to what to name it, that's where I'm hung.
PerlJam heh, I was just thinking about remapping some of my keys too :)
Juerd So typing → is now 2 keystrokes, one less than ->.
16:07 zby_home_ left
Juerd So does Perl 6 support ≥ and such? 16:08
skids No I think you can still count them on two hands, including the set operators. 16:09
Juerd Two hands... that's 0..1023 :)
skids Kindercounting. :-)
And it's 3**10 if you use trinary with bent knuckles. 16:10
16:13 [Sno] left
colomon to me, the interesting distinction between … and → is that the former really looks like the ASCII version, while the latter does not. At least in the font I'm using, I'd never confuse the latter, and really can't tell the difference between the former. 16:13
16:13 treehug88 joined 16:14 rindolf left
skids Problem with any arrow is there are tens of nearly identical options. 16:14
Juerd In my terminals, … looks like one character whereas ... looks like 3 :) 16:15
colomon Juerd: in mine, they look almost exactly the same. The latter is slightly darker, but that's it. and that's only easy to compare because you put them both on the same line.

PerlJam you made me think of a trip to Mexico I made about 10 years ago though. There were road signs all over the place. The problem was that they were small and not at eye-level, so you really had to look around to see them (and most locals seemed to just ignore them anyway) 16:45

jnthn rylinaux: Only with the m modifier... :)
timotimo masak: "Timo Paulssen" and "timotimo" is a dupe
jnthn I always found the naming of the s and m modifiers fun to explain. "s makes . match *m*ultiple lines, while m makes ^ and $ refer to a *s*ingle line" :) 18:45
In .Net they're spelled SingleLine and MultiLine or so and it once took me 10 minutes to convince somebody that yes, they really did want the one called SingleLine in order to make . match over multiple lines... 18:46
TimToady m makes ^ and $ match multiple times in a multi-line string; s treats the multi-line string as a single line
jnthn TimToady: Yeah, that's the correct interpretation. It's just easy to guess or mis-remember the other one, I guess.
TimToady or if you prefer, 's' makes it use string semantics rather than line semantics

 19:24
pmichaud change text to "because Rakudo now exists in multiple dimensions" maybe?
PerlJam how about we paste in the IRC discussion from earlier and say "Plano" was *waaaay* better than "Three Blind Mice" :)
masak :)
pmichaud PerlJam: +1
maybe as a footnote / postscript
psch there's 11 american Planos and 1 croatian Plano and the digit sum of 12 is 3...?
pmichaud well, I'm only familiar with the Plano I live in :) 19:25
[Coke] I don't think we need to 'splain it.
pmichaud Maybe also put in a note saying that we're looking for pm group names to use in future releases. :)
*Or*, perhaps this is the point at which we adopt an entirely new naming scheme. 19:26
PerlJam pmichaud: +1 to that!
pmichaud since we're now multi-backend with n>2
PerlJam (new naming scheme)
moritz how about simply dropping the naming scheme?
timotimo moritz: i'll have a short script that'll prepare strings for all combinations of backends that'll be minimized; you'd have to run it once for each rebuild. it's in p6. is that acceptable?
PerlJam moritz: And that's even better IMHO
19:27 tgt joined
moritz timotimo: prepare strings? what strings? 19:27
timotimo: I feel I'm missing a bit of context here
pmichaud We could also keep the names but drop the explanation.
timotimo rakudo-{parrot, jvm, moar} c8ec1d
for example
dalek kudo/nom: f4b0fb4 | masak++ | docs/announce/2014.01.md:
[docs/announce/2014.01.md] explain "Plano" better
masak pmichaud, PerlJam: ^ 19:28
timotimo instead of rakudo-parrot c8ec1d, rakudo-jvm c8ec1d, rakudo-moar c8ec1d
masak didn't go with the footnote/postscript idea. this feels better. I could still change it, though.
pmichaud release manager gets to decide :)
[Coke] my 2¢: I hate release names.
timotimo i don't care much about them 19:29
pmichaud proposed release name: "Coke hates release names."
PerlJam reiterates ...
* PerlJam wishes we would do away with the names as that ends up being the hardest part of releasing :)
pmichaud It is good to be able to talk about previous milestone releases, though... e.g., "Beijing"
benabik Perhaps we should just start naming releases after people who hate release names. 19:30
masak I like the release names.
I don't mind looking for a pm group and a rationale.
it bonds us together somewhat.
PerlJam pmichaud: but being able to say the 2011.07 release gives more information
pmichaud PerlJam: yes, if I can remember that date. 19:31
lue same goes for the release name :)
PerlJam If it's significant, you'll remember it :)
pmichaud It's much easier for me to remember Beijing than to remember 2011.08 (and wonder if it really was 2011.08 or 2011.07 or 2012.08 or ...)
PerlJam Or maybe *only* name significant releases?
pmichaud We don't always know a-priori which ones are significant.
PerlJam Well, mostly we get to decide if we think they will be. 19:32
and if they become so after-the-fact, we can post-name it.
pmichaud I'm with masak++ ... I like having the names. I don't know that we need to continue with .pm groups, but there are bound to be more for a while yet. 19:33
PerlJam masak: re bonding ... is that like a shared pain? :)
masak PerlJam: heh. 19:35
lue We could just use a random town name picker in the future :) 19:36
masak angularjs has pretty cool release names. they look generated.
PerlJam "What do you want to name the release?" "I dunno, what do *you* want to name the release?"
masak we shouldn't copy them straight off, but it's an idea for the future.

psch SORRY 19:39
pmichaud use the #perl6 backlog but strip out common words.
leaving only the weird words as potential names.
skids Pick a city from Middle Earth and pretend there was a Perl con there.
pmichaud "Whipuptitude" and "Manipulexity" ought to be release names somewhere. :-)
PerlJam skids: why do we have to pretend? ;) 19:40
timotimo i think whipuptitude is for when NativeCall is on all three backends (or four at that point?) and manipulexity when we have everything for macros

benabik There's more than two ways to do it?

moritz moar areas?
PerlJam like the introduction of a new VM?
jnthn The point when we've a multi-backend star, maybe...
timotimo introduction of rakudo into the browser? ;)
masak jnthn: yes, maybe. 19:50
timotimo that'd be fine by me, jnthn
how likely is february moar star? :)
because february jvm star sounds quite likely
jnthn Dunno. I've no idea how bad the ecosystem looks on Moar so far.
moritz does moar have nativecall?
jnthn I know we've work to do on NativeCall. The debugger shouldn't be hard.
timotimo moritz: arnsholt noted it'd mostly be copy-pasting from parrot
jnthn moritz: Well, we've got dyncall into the build; not sure how far along the REPRs are, but we can...what timotimo said :) 19:51
PerlJam Still sounds more like April to me (for moar R*)
timotimo oh, really?
well, sockets will be big, too
jnthn I may take on sockets when I do the Moar IO do-over
I'll put in the async IO and I want to get async sockets in too.
With an API that works on Moar and JVM. 19:52

If you want to suppress inlining you need to say "use soft;" or so
lue or perl6 --optimize=0 , right?
jnthn Well, you could do that too, but that means you're depending on everybody running your code with --optimize=0 20:32
Not to mention giving up every other optimization.
masak Perl 6 is already fairly geared towards static subroutines, which is why it's surprising that it works.

PerlJam [Coke]: on slide 11: "In Perl 5, you have a limited # of types." I'm not sure that's true or what you mean by that. 21:54
colomon [Coke]: page 14, what's the last line got to do with it?
diakopter pedantrics
skids diakopter++ for meta-pedantrics
jnthn [Coke]: On 8, not sure if worth calling out that NQP is a subset of Perl 6 ideal for compiler writing, to give an idea of what subset 21:55
[Coke]: In the "everything is an object" on 10, I tend to express that as "Everything can be treated as an object" these days 21:56
TimToady (4/6).Rat # (stringifies via Num) <-- I don't think this is true 21:57
jnthn [Coke]: On 13, I'd put { ... } there rather than the ; after the signature; it confused me at first
TimToady also, why .Rat something that already is
[Coke] PerlJam: I was thinking: scalar, array, hash, glob (and a few others)
jnthn: updated 8 & 10. 21:58
TimToady assigning 2**70 to an int ought to blow up, not produce 0 21:59
PerlJam [Coke]: I'd probably differentiate via Perl 5 - type systems on CPAN, Perl 6 - built-in type system. (or something like that)
TimToady slide 15, superstitious semicolons 22:00
psch [Coke]: i feel slide 25 should be somewhere before 24, maybe right before 21. you're introducing sub infix:<hi> before mentioning sub *fix:*
TimToady a rule is a method, really, not a sub
22:00 treehug88 left
TimToady and the comparison to lex/yacc is kinda wrong 22:01
[Coke] TimToady: removed the comment.
colomon: last line is showing you can invoke via locals with the same name as the params.
dalek kudo/nom: 75f0284 | jnthn++ | src/Perl6/Actions.nqp:

[Coke] TimToady: leftover .Rat removed. CNP issue, I thin.
jnthn TimToady: 75f0284 should fix it
timotimo jnthn: will that still make it into our current release?
jnthn timotimo: Doubt it.
PerlJam [Coke]: slide 16 also seems out of place (or is an opportunity for more context wrt Grammars and Regex)
timotimo OK
jnthn timotimo: I think masak may have already tagged it 22:03
[Coke] PerlJam: wanted to mention rules. will really not have time to delve into them.
jnthn timotimo: Or at least, be spectesting what he intends to tag/release.
PerlJam [Coke]: okie.
timotimo right.
fair enough
timotimo is always on the bleeding edge anyway :)
jnthn Just means we've got our first ChangeLog entry for next month :P
timotimo oh, btw. a person from karlsruhe.pm is going to make sure soon that debian will have all dependencies of moarvm packaged properly
PerlJam [Coke]: how much time will you have? (I've been thinking either you've got lots of time or you're going to cover alot of stuff in a short time)
jnthn timotimo: oh, cool :) 22:04
[Coke] PerlJam: 30m 22:06
PerlJam [Coke]: on slide 20, the juxtaposition of ^20 and a list that goes from 1 to 20 weirds me out :)
timotimo oh, whoops :)
[Coke] PerlJam: yah, but then I can talk briefly about 0-indexing.
TimToady slide 23, comment should start at 0, not 1 22:07
timotimo [Coke]: for syntax highlighting, would you prefer shades of gray or colors? 22:08
[Coke] TimToady: fixed.
timotimo: never used the projector at this place. something contrasty.
... I feel compelled to add a note about the community now. :) 22:09
PerlJam [Coke]: do you want to mention Z and S on slide 24?
timotimo colors actually don't look good on white background i don't think 22:10
22:10 Guest1338 left
timotimo boldface looks bad, too 22:10
22:12 panchiniak joined
TimToady Z maybe, but S is probably not worth mentioning 22:12
grondilu this thing on google docs when we can see other people editing a document in real time is pretty cool. I wish github would do that.
[Coke] timotimo: should I change the background color?
timotimo [Coke]: only if you want to :)
[Coke] PerlJam: Sure.
PerlJam S is obscure, but maybe that's why it needs to be mentioned ;)
TimToady not in an overview
22:12 japhb joined
timotimo i'm actually not sure how to do the coloring without doing it by hand 22:13
PerlJam I dunno ... I'd at least say "and some other cool meta-ops are ..."
TimToady much more important to get the bikeshed the right color
PerlJam and then "for more information, check out the synopses"
[Coke]: oh, you should have a slide with some useful links 22:14
timotimo i'm not sure about "parsed to QAST (NQP)", actually
PerlJam or maybe just "Everything is linked from perl6.org"
[Coke] PerlJam: added urls on #30 22:15
PerlJam yeah, I see that now :)
[Coke] timotimo: would a gray work?
PerlJam I was thinking you could put the slide with links last so that you could leave it up during any question/answer period 22:16
masak is back online 22:17

jnthn timotimo: That and you can't easily get at such things unless you go meta-programming at least a level deep anyway. 23:18
psch timotimo: the problem is i reverted my commit that should have gone into a branch in nom, and now i cant merge upstream that has that commit into my nom
jnthn timotimo: All the things you get through .HOW on a Perl 6 object have a .perl and .gist, for example.

then push -f it :)
psch ...right, that exists 23:20
BenGoldberg The docs for Rat, at doc.perl6.org/type/Rat, say that the denominator is supposed to be a UInt64. It ought to be able to hold values up to 2**63 with no problem.
timotimo BenGoldberg: i think currently it's falsely implemented as Int64 instead
BenGoldberg Even so, funny things happening at 2**60 is odd

timotimo :D
now coke dropped off the 'net
jnthn BenGoldberg: Got a MoarVM patch coming up that gives us some more digits.
colomon will stop searching through the NQP source trying to figure out where that code is. 23:42

BenGoldberg :)
I think that perl6 should define pi to be 3.14159265358979290737693444089209850062, as a Rat ;) 23:45
BenGoldberg is only slightly joking 23:46
colomon BenGoldberg: that's too precise for a Rat, isn't it?
timotimo the question is: what do you use pi for normally and how well do rats work in that case?
colomon FatRat, now...
timotimo do our trigonometric operations handle rats well?

raydiak why use so many digits if the last 2/3rds are wrong? :)

jnthn Also one spectest fail went away thanks to it :)
timotimo jnthn: you could draft up a prototype for the re-structured optimizer perhaps? 23:50
23:50 grondilu_ joined, ajr_ left
jnthn timotimo: Perhaps, though I think there's a few more pressing things than that. 23:51
timotimo sure 23:52
you were asking for things to do, so i just grabbed that off the top of my head :)
jnthn timotimo: Well, there's plenty to do, I'm just kinda tired today after staying up quite late working on Moar release today, so was looking for LHF :)
timotimo heh. that's absolutely fair 23:53
23:54 grondilu left
jnthn If anybody is looking to take a fairly manageable task off my list: bring the perl6-debug frontend (not the Perl 6 UI module, just the perl6-debug program itself) into the Rakudo repo and get it so we build it on all 3 backends, generating and installing a fakeexecutable on Parrot and a runner on Moar and JVM. 23:55
grondilu_ pi has no unversally accepted numeric approximation, so honestly I'm not even sure it's a good idea to put one in the core. If we do, we might as well put one that is voluntarliy not too accurate. Like constant pi = <355/113>.
lue 22/7 is the conventional fractional form of pi :) 23:56
jnthn Bonus: you most likely get to be the person to thank for us having perl6-debug on MoarVM :)
lue jnthn: "not the Perl 6 UI module" what do you mean by that? Is there a GUI I missed? 23:57
23:57 grondilu_ is now known as grondilu 23:58 denisboyun joined
jnthn lue: The debugger is broken up into a small NQP program that inserts debug hooks into AST, and a larger Perl 6 module that subscribes to them and does the actual user interaction. 23:58
23:58 grondilu left, grondilu joined
timotimo jnthn: how do we feel about loading .moarvm files from any kind of archive, compressed or otherwise? 23:58
jnthn lue:It's a command line interface at the moment. The design is such that we can build other ones.
timotimo: Negative.
timotimo: Ruins mmap
lue ah, so you want the debugger hooks in rakudo, but not the specific CUI program used for 'perl6-debug' ? 23:59
timotimo then we should just make sure to make the moarvm files small-ish :3
jnthn timotimo: Well, the integer thing in the serialization blob may be a big win.
timotimo right. only in the serialized blob though, yes?
jnthn lue: Well, perl6-debug is the thing I want brought in.
timotimo: right
