timotimo i changed the title to start with "Day 18:" and put it into the 2014 category 02:58
i hope i didn't break it just by opening it in the wordpress editor 02:59
colomon brrt++ 03:00
timotimo damn 03:02
if i had been there, i could have told brrt how to run the graph spesh tool
(all it needs is for you to run update_ops.pl)
03:03 noganex joined
timotimo but it also tells you to in the comment at the beginning of the script :S 03:03
abraxxa_home i'm trying to compile rakudo with clang and found www.mail-archive.com/perl6-interna...45189.html
but it seems the option to pass the compiler and linker has changed
is this a --parrot-option ? 03:04
timotimo i wonder if it'd be disrespectful to write a little in-line comment about that? 03:05
03:06 noganex_ left, BenGoldberg left 03:07 terrencehan left 03:09 jack_rabbit joined
abraxxa_home seems to be --moar-option='--compiler clang' 03:12
timotimo right, we're suggesting people build with MoarVM by default nowadays 03:13
moarvm doesn't accept parrot options :)
abraxxa_home it's --compiler=clang, seems the help screen is slightly wrong there 03:15
03:16 Mso150 joined
timotimo oh, could be 03:16
timotimo doesn't know much about the build system
abraxxa_home i've added a moar-clang option to my rakudobrew 03:17
clang warns a *lot* 03:20
timotimo yes :( 03:21
abraxxa_home but it builds fine 03:23
as the all the perl6.org websites including modules.perl6.org doesn't work I can't install modules using panda
timotimo ooooh 03:33
abraxxa_home did you not know that? 03:37
maybe a vhost misconfiguration of apache
timotimo i didn't know that 03:38
i'm looking at www.p6c.org now (from the inside) and seeing a few difficulties
abraxxa_home all those urls go to Perl 6 Design Documents
timotimo yes
all the sites-enabled/ files aren't added to git, for example
abraxxa_home symlinks? 03:40
are you running Debian?
timotimo this is a debian system, aye
abraxxa_home yeah, i've read the posts about the new server
tried to come up with one at work too
timotimo which mod exactly would apache want to make the sites-enabled subdir work? 03:41
abraxxa_home no mod, the main config file just includes all those files 03:42
timotimo mhm
abraxxa_home most Debian packages are configured that way
even sudo since version 7
timotimo ok 03:43
in that case i don't really see what could be wrong :(
abraxxa_home check the main config file if the sites-enabled dir is really included
and file permissions
dir perms too
JimmyZ can take a look if he has permissions 03:44
abraxxa_home check the startup log for errors 03:45
timotimo the folders are r-x for others, the files are r-- for others
should work
03:46 atroxaper joined
raiph did you guys see irclog.perlgeek.de/perl6/2014-12-17#i_9821281? 03:47
timotimo is VirtualHost *:80 really correct? 03:48
JimmyZ yeah
raiph also, i just emailed Audrey (re perl6.org issues)
abraxxa_home yes
the server name should be configured for each vhost though
the VirtualHost directive just tells it to do routing by hostname 03:49
JimmyZ I don't know how au's action affects perl6.org
:)
raiph JimmyZ: did you see the dns change in my clog link? 03:50
abraxxa_home $ host modules.perl6.org
modules.perl6.org has address 213.95.82.53
is that what it should be?
JimmyZ raiph: yeah
timotimo the ServerName is configured, as are multiple ServerAlias directives
er, configs? options? 03:51
abraxxa_home httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/en/vhost...based.html
03:51 Mso150 left
abraxxa_home timotimo: i'd reload apache and check the logs 03:52
timotimo i've reloaded it; which log file shoul di check? 03:53
JimmyZ /var/log/apache* ?
03:53 atroxaper left
timotimo yeah, not much to see there 03:54
abraxxa_home can you see my request coming from 62.178.122.70?
should have served modules.perl6.org 03:55
timotimo no accesses for 18th dec for modulse.perl6.org
abraxxa_home does httpd.conf include the sites-enabled dir? 03:56
timotimo your ip shows up in design.perl6.org, though
abraxxa_home where is that vhost configured?
in one of the sites-enabled files or the main httpd.conf? 03:57
timotimo yes, it does
JimmyZ it looks like perlcabal.org has bad configure...
raiph fwiw testers.perl6.org/ works
JimmyZ which make other configures fail
abraxxa_home JimmyZ: it redirects to perl6.org/ which also serves the same, wrong site as modules.perl6.org
timotimo oh 03:58
i think i know what's going on?
JimmyZ abraxxa_home: yeah
abraxxa_home $ host testers.perl6.org
testers.perl6.org has address 85.25.222.109
JimmyZ testers.perl6.org is different server
timotimo the virtualhosts for design and perlcabal have ip addresses
the others just have *
does that make them more specific, and thus prefered in the first step of VHost resolvment?
JimmyZ yeah, that is what it looks like 03:59
timotimo gimme a sec.
abraxxa_home i remember i had that problem when i was using apache (switched to nginx years ago)
maybe something with IPv6 enabled
03:59 noganex_ joined
timotimo that's it 03:59
please try it on your end 04:00
abraxxa_home the apache docs say: Name-based virtual hosts for the best-matching set of <virtualhost>s are processed in the order they appear in the configuration.
JimmyZ so perlcabal.org host's configure is bad
Is it?
abraxxa_home YAY!
timotimo abraxxa_home: yes, but only after IP-based virtual hosts have been processed
It is important to recognize that the first step in name-based virtual host resolution is IP-based resolution. Name-based virtual host resolution only chooses the most appropriate name-based virtual host after narrowing down the candidates to the best IP-based match. Using a wildcard (*) for the IP address in all of the VirtualHost directives makes this IP-based mapping irrelevant.
abraxxa_home got it 04:01
04:01 xinming left
abraxxa_home i'd recommend using * everywhere IF all sites should be accessible by all IPs only by their names 04:01
timotimo yeah
abraxxa_home then i had the same problem because it also occurred when mixing the two
timotimo moritz will have had some reason to have that in there; maybe it was copypasted from the previous config where these sites lived on separate servers 04:02
04:02 noganex left
abraxxa_home so why do i now get Could not find Shell::Command in any of: /home/abraxxa/.rakudobrew/moar-clang-2014.11/install/languages/perl6/lib, /home/abraxxa/.rakudobrew/moar-clang-2014.11/install/languages/perl6 04:02
ah, forgot to run rakudobrew build panda for the clang build, panda still found in path? 04:03
is there a useful benchmark for Perl6 so I can compare the gcc with the clang build? 04:05
04:05 rurban joined
timotimo we have perl6-bench, but there's not really a single benchmark that'd give you a good coverage of "everything" 04:05
abraxxa_home perl 6 test suite? 04:06
both builds fail NativeCall t/08-callbacks.t 04:07
timotimo 32bit?
abraxxa_home 64bit Ubuntu 14.10
where does panda extract the modules to run the tests? 04:08
it's test 3: *** Error in `/home/abraxxa/.rakudobrew/moar-2014.11/install/bin/moar': free(): invalid pointer: 0x00007ff23dfb0a58 *** 04:10
Aborted (core dumped)
timotimo in a .work folder 04:12
abraxxa_home ~/.panda-work
found out using panda look
default os compiler different from Perl 6 compiler maybe? 04:14
but then the regular moar build should succeed at least
clang fails with *** Error in `/home/abraxxa/.rakudobrew/moar-clang-2014.11/install/bin/moar': munmap_chunk(): invalid pointer: 0x00007fbe1e322a78 *** 04:16

abraxxa tadzik: are you interessted in a patch for rakudobrew that lets you set the compiler for moar? 13:43
tadzik abraxxa: I'd rather have something generic that gets passed along to Configure.pl 13:44
so one can make that --moar-option=different-compiler or whatever
lizmat jnthn: same errors in that test
running full spectest now
abraxxa tadzik: i did it by cloning moar to moar-clang in line 24
i wanted a generic, additional option first but then realized its moar specific 13:45
tadzik well, rakudo's Configure.pl manages to have backend specific options
we could get away with something like --configure-opts 13:46
abraxxa when multiple impls are brewed you should be able to pass different things to them..
tadzik that too
but rakudo's Configure.pl is capable of that, afaik 13:47
there's --moar-option, --parrot-option...
abraxxa yeah, so rakudobrew should be able to pass different things to them 13:48
tadzik I don't think rakudo breaks if you don --backends=moar --parrot-option=foo
abraxxa ah, i see
tadzik s/don/do/
lizmat jnthn: more breakage that way
tadzik if it does, I'm willing to go and change that :P
but I don't see why it would
lizmat looks like I need to specify candidates for all named parameters as well: Unexpected named parameter 'exists' passed 13:49
tadzik so: I don't think that rakudobrew should be concerned as to how to pass different options to different backends
just have rakudo do it

abraxxa tadzik: can we please use a module for cli arg handling? 14:02
tadzik abraxxa: I'd much rather not :| 14:03
oh, unless it's core
abraxxa is there one? i just looked in 5.20.1 but can't find one
masak doesn't Perl 6 already have quite a lot of arg handling in the language?
abraxxa i thought one very old is core, don't remember its name
masak: i uses perl 5 to build perl 6
masak I see. 14:04
tadzik abraxxa: "Getopt::Long was first released with perl 5"
abraxxa so why isn't it listed here? metacpan.org/release/perl 14:05

wouldn't it make sense to add a method to Mu with that list of names, and call that
and thus make it overridable for a class ?
TimToady: I guess 5a06ace5c5c458a78313e32d7235e428486bbe23 is really an API change, so should be emphasized in the release message ? 14:18
jnthn: re, 7432d6202ede8569cac13ecbfae78afafc915fa4 , wouldn't that be worthy of a advent post ? 14:19
abraxxa tadzik: can the dirname of the installed rakuda be set with rakudobrew? 14:23
tadzik abraxxa: nope
maybe it should be :)
abraxxa would it be easier to extend perlbrew? 14:24
tadzik I don't think so
abraxxa i'm not very happy with my code but it works
tadzik I once looked into making a plenv plugin, but it looked like more trouble than it was worth
abraxxa the error messages are a bit misleading, talk about gcc although i requested clang
jnthn lizmat: (method on Mu), no, that feels like mixing levels to me...
abraxxa probing whether your compiler thinks that it is gcc Can't compile simple gcc probe, so something is badly wrong at build/probe.pm line 92.
jnthn lizmat: Dunno about a post on that...I mean, it's quite esoteric. :) 14:27
lizmat well, it could serve as documentation, as the documentation atm is quite minimal :-)
moritz documentation belongs on doc.perl6.org
14:27 raiph joined
masak hard to argue with that. 14:27
lizmat moritz: I meant, until we have documentation :-) 14:28
and it would be a bit more hard core than most of the other advent posts :-)
but maybe too hard core :-)
jnthn Yeah, it's also a question of when I'd have time to write it.

jnthn Today was my last day of teaching. Tomorrow I need to take care of some christmas shopping and prep for travel to UK. Saturday I'm traveling there. And I'm so exhausted from the last weeks the first thing I'll probably do is get sick. :/

lizmat masak: that's not how that works, unfortunately 14:30

masak hey, it was just a suggestion :P
jnthn masak: I never plan to, it's just a depressingly common pattern. The tireder I am when I go for Christmas break, the more likely I am to quickly catch something or other.
abraxxa it's a usual pattern that the body backs down when the stress goes away 14:31
jnthn Right.
moritz abraxxa: aye; my father used to have problems with his teeth each summer vacation for several years in a row 14:32
14:32 spider-mario left, anaeem1 joined
masak it's not so strange, I think. stress keeps you going. 14:33
evo devo explanations are fraught, I guess. but maybe stress helped people survive. and when they were safe, they slowed down and got sick.
people who managed to suspend getting sick were more fit and spread through the gene pool. 14:34
moritz it makes a lot of sense if you think of being sick as "maintenance downtime" 14:35
lizmat "health" debt
moritz but classic medicine teaches us it's all those bad viruses and bacteria that make us sick, and that's kinda an incompatible view
lizmat: aye
masak it's probably a mix of that, and the fact that parasites always win.
that is, the body can hold them off, but it's a losing battle. 14:36
lizmat also: meeting people you haven't seen in a while, means new germs :-)
masak also, winter. means recycling stale indoor air.
jnthn Yeah, 'cus people can't hack the cold, dammit. :P
lizmat personally, I notice this when meeting people with young kids (fresh kindergarten germs!) who I haven't seen for a while :-) 14:37
masak kids are excellent disease vectors.
brrt thing about stress is, we know from various sources that it is 'bad', but it is one of these long-term-biology things that we can't quite get our head arround 14:39
otherwise, winter being sickness season is mostly people recycling stale air yeah :-) 14:40

Ulti masak all that happens with really different languages is they attempt to simulate a different computer and then get you to write for that instead :P 15:32
PROLOG being a good example
masak yes. probably the "imperative" execution model is the only really intuitive one to humans. do this, then do that. 15:33
but declarative sublanguages will always have a place in specific domains. that includes Prolog. 15:34
includes things like Forth and Haskell as well.
brrt that is so counterintuitive, and i'm not sure if it doesn't include some 'survivor bias'
as in, everybody who could grok imperative became a programmer, and those who could not did not 15:35
vendethiel backlogs again
masak brrt: I'm not sure that weakens the argument in any way.
brrt: "X is just intuitive because the survivors consider it intuitive" -- well, yeah.
same reason sunsets are beautiful, I guess. 15:36
brrt well, the counterargument is that because computer languages are imperative people who would've liked another paradigm better (declarative) have already left
i'm not saying that it's true. i like my imperative programs 15:37
masak there is still hope, though. my argument only goes for what becomes mainstream and the main slang.
as I pointed out, there is still room for more exotic runtime models at the fringes.
and that's something to cherish and exploit. 15:38
brrt and embrace and assimilate if you're perl
:-)
geekosaur there is some anecdata for beginners finding declarative languages easier to comprehend than imperative; I'm not aware of any serious exploration of that, though
masak geekosaur: would be interesting to find one. 15:39
I mean, an evo devo explanation for *that* would be that imperative looks like stories by the campfire.
Ulti I dont get why prolog isnt more popular in robotics, it makes writing control systems quite natural human(X) :- dontkill(X)
masak "and then they did a GO TO and handled the exceptional condition!" 15:40
geekosaur Ulti: prolog doesn't compile down to embedded processors well
15:40 raiph left
Ulti it could if the embedded processor could execute prolog :P 15:40
geekosaur there's also the usual problem with real time control vs. garbage collection
rurban more the exponential nature of backtracking 15:41
geekosaur that too, yes
rurban new-style SMT solvers are usually better than prolog
geekosaur "real time" is the real constraint, in any case 15:42
rurban like z3
15:42 FROGGS joined
geekosaur with memory usage still something of a close second 15:42
brrt wonders what masak expands evo devo to 15:43
rurban I'm thinking to add a solver into p2 core (minisat), because I'd need it for compiler optimizations anyway
but simple prolog|ml like declarative matchers and unifiers don't need that much, and are expressible with simple = or =~ and varioables on the rhs 15:44

Woodi some days ago I was in our family bakery's office and was thinking about that imperative vs declarative languages - do being declarative means that on some low level there need to be programmed imperative actions have something done ? and then: knoc*knock There is no sugar... -- was this a "declarative" approach to a problem ? 17:01
masak Woodi: "declarative" to me means that you write a specification, not instructions. it's kind of defined by what it isn't. 17:04
Woodi so html is declarative... but still something need to render it and on some level imperative things are executing ? 17:07
masak I'm not sure HTML qualifies in the first place. not if we're talking programming languages. HTML is markup. 17:08
a good example might be the class/has/method/submethod keywords in Perl 6. they're declarative: they're a specification of a class, not instructions on how to put the class together. 17:09

I mean, I can upload it too, when I know where the tarball is
or add more keys
masak seems lizmat is away for dinner right now. I guess she had missed (as I did) that there are pubkeys in the upload user ;) 17:52

lizmat is now testing the rakudo tar ball 19:14
masak S03:2530 says this about `and`: "In list context forces a false return to mean C<()>." 19:16
synopsebot Link: perlcabal.org/syn/S03.html#line_2530
masak what does that mean in Perl 6, "in list context"?
is it a fossil?
m: sub f1 { say "first"; fail }; sub f2 { say "sekkind" }; f1() andthen f2() 19:17
camelia rakudo-moar 0a12e1: OUTPUT«first␤»
lizmat masak: feels like a fossil to me 19:19
masak removes
lizmat at least the wording
masak eech, the phrase 'list context' occurs 26 times in S03. 19:20
[Coke] are there any kinds of contexts left in perl6 that aren't just notional? 19:23
lizmat 88 times in total in synopses
masak [Coke]: good question.
not in the literal Perl 5 sense, I think. 19:24
19:24 virtualsue left
masak wow, S03 postulates a statement_control:<ACCEPTS> macro -- I don't recall seeing that before. 19:25
[Coke] I hear "sink context" a lot... and that might actually be right, since I think we are checking to see if the return value is used or not. (or, is it different from void context? Iunno)
PerlJam 90 if you count the two occurences where it's "List context" rather than "list context"
masak ...but it's textual :/
PerlJam Just for grins: gist.github.com/perlpilot/7ed197a4167cc1e4b40f
lizmat
.oO( that gives quite some context )
 19:26
masak .oO( Perl 6 is often in lol context, but sometimes the jokes fall in flat context ) 19:27
lizmat
.oO( I haz a sinking feeling )
masak amazing we don't have a "troll context" yet.
PerlJam I'm slightly amazed that we have 7 occurences of "flat context"

night0x hello 20:57
masak hi, night0x 20:58
night0x where should I start to learn perl6
masak "Begin at the beginning," the King said gravely, "and go on till you come to the end: then stop." 20:59
night0x okay
masak night0x: have you seen the book?
night0x no 21:00
masak github.com/perl6/book
night0x what's that?
masak it's an (unfinished) book about Perl 6.
there's also doc.perl6.org/
and perl6advent.wordpress.com/
raydiak perl6.org/documentation/ has a lot of good links too 21:01
masak and perlgeek.de/blog-en/perl-6/
those are all good starting points.
night0x Oh, thks 21:02
masak oh, and learnxinyminutes.com/docs/perl6/
last but not least, we're here, warm-blooded, and ready to help with any questions you might have.
masak winks: 😉 21:03
night0x it's so nice of you :)
masak don't mention it. 21:04
good luck learning about Perl 6, and stop by often! :D
vendethiel winks as well
Ha, damn, I forgot to push my revisions to the learnx. 21:05
masak masak => 😉 😉 <== vendethiel
night0x I found there are several VMs for perl6. How to choice?
any suggestions?
masak choose moarvm.
unless your boss is forcing you to use JVM.
vendethiel masak: why'd I get two arrows :P? 21:06
masak I ran out of the short type of arrow. 21:07
moritz what's a proper way to do a one-time, concurrency-friendly sleep?
lizmat sleep(1) ? 21:08
masak if `sleep` isn't concurrency-friendly, then something is wrong with it.
moritz isn't there a .delay or .interval or so?
vendethiel masak: do you have a good idea for a possible p6advent I might do? 21:09
dalek href="https://perl6.org:">perl6.org: 0c1a66b | raydiak++ | source/documentation/index.html:
Add 2014 advent calendar link to /documentation
lizmat moritz: what's wrong with sleep(1) ? 21:10
moritz lizmat: does sleep block the current thread?
masak if it doesn't, then something is wrong with it.
lizmat internallu, it calls nqp::sleep 21:11
21:11 kaare_ left
lizmat I assume that knows what to do on Moar to be conc friendly 21:11
21:13 erdic left
jnthn I'm pretty sure nqp::sleep delegates fairly directly to the system call. 21:13
21:14 night0x left
jnthn It will block a thread. That's not always good. The easy way to say "do something a bit in the future" is like Promise.in(10).then({ do_stuff }) 21:14
21:14 hekmek left
jnthn But if blocking the thread is fine, then use sleep. :) 21:15
