bocaneri How do you make perl6 ignore "malformed UTF-8"? As soon as a file read hits it, the IO object stops reading anything more. 06:21
tobs bocaneri: if you're reading a binary file, set :bin? 06:25
bocaneri It's not bin. Log files from hexchat.
(the problem I've had with this in perl5 is usually in the gecos) 06:28
bocaneri This is idiotic. I'm going to have to do the file read in perl5 and pipe it to perl6, looks like. 06:47
moritz bocaneri: you can use the utf8-c8 encoding instead of utf-8
bocaneri What's the syntax? 06:48

Kaiepi is there a way to print the list of named arguments in a method like method foo(:$bar, :$baz) { ... } ? 08:36

moritz m: class A { method f($x, :$y, :$z) { } };say A.^lookup('f').signature.params.grep(*.named).map(*.named_names)
camelia ((y) (z) ())
moritz Kaiepi: ^^ like this?
masak the CS world (and much of non-Perl) calls them "formal parameters" and "actual parameters", respectively. for some reason. I'm kind of fond of "arguments".
moritz
.oO( we can have arguments about that all day long :-)
 08:43
masak heh, I used that pun in an advent post once ;)
moritz: why did we get a `()` above?
moritz masak: around each name?
because there can be more than one 08:44
it's a list
Kaiepi not really, i'm looking for a way to pass the method's name arguments to an exception for it to print
moritz m: class A { method f($x, :y(:$long_y), :$z) { } };say A.^lookup('f').signature.params.grep(*.named).map(*.named_names)
camelia ((long_y y) (z) ())
Kaiepi *named
masak yes, but you filtered out the $x, did you not
Kaiepi but i don't know which ones it will get passed
masak so why are there three still, and why is the third empty
moritz masak: huh, good question 08:45
m: class A { method f($x, :y(:$long_y), :$z) { } };say A.^lookup('f').signature.params.grep(*.named).elems
camelia 3
moritz masak: oh, the implicit *%_
masak oh!
because it's a method
right
moritz m: class A { method f($x, :y(:$long_y), :$z) { } };say A.^lookup('f').signature.params.grep(*.named)[*-1]
camelia *%_
masak after 14 years with Perl 6, I still find the implicit *%_ constantly surprising ;)
I know rationally why it's there
and I buy that it's a valid argument (no pun intended) 08:46
but it still surprises me
I blame inheritance. inheritance sucks.
jkramer In a multi method, how can I do a where on self? Something like multi method Str(Int:D $_ where * == 2) { ... } (in a augment class Int for example) 08:58
moritz multi method Str(Int:D: SELF where { SELF == 2 }) { ... } 09:01
the : after the type is the magic sauche

pmurias re removing Perl 5 warning instead of getting rid of them completly wouldn't it make more sense to just turn them into suggestions what might be wrong instead of stuff that disallows legal code? 12:07
masak jkramer: did you expect a different result? an evenly distributed random non-negative integer, say? 12:08
jkramer masak: I'm not really sure what I expected, just found the result curious. :) But I guess it makes sense somehow, picking a random thing from an infinite list is tricky 12:09
Probably should be mentioned in the docs though 12:10

jkramer Maybe (^Inf).pick should throw the same error instead of returning Nil?
(^Inf) is a lazy list, isn't it? 12:13
masak jkramer: it's not "picking a random thing from an infinite list" *as such* that's tricky. if that were the only problem, we'd probably be fine
jnthn .tell nine Goodness, that's a tiny patch to achieve such a thing! Can't think of an objection :)
yoleaux jnthn: I'll pass your message to nine.

masak jkramer: it's more like, the probability of each number being picked is 0, or at best infinitesimal
jkramer m: (^Inf).eager.head(10).say 12:14
masak jkramer: worse, for any number N you picked, it's infinitely unlikely that you picked that one instead of a bigger one
jkramer Oopsie :D
camelia (timeout)
masak most non-negative integers are simply unfathomably, ridiculously huge
jkramer masak: True, makes sense
masak somewhere out there is a positive integer whose digits encode your entire life in stupendously fine detail 12:15
jkramer But if (^Inf) is a lazy list, shouldn't (^Inf).roll fail with the same error as the example above?
masak m: say (^Inf).roll 12:16
camelia Nil
jkramer (or pick)
masak m: say (^Inf).pick
camelia Nil
masak LGTM
or, well. I guess Perl 6 could be more strict than that, and throw an exception.
but Perl has a tradition of being lenient, for better or worse
jkramer I mean wouldn't it be more consistent if (^Inf) and the example above would behave the same? Given they're both lazy lists 12:18
m: my @foo = lazy gather { loop { take 100000.rand.Int } }; @foo.pick.say
camelia Cannot .pick from a lazy list
in block <unit> at <tmp> line 1
[Coke] ^Inf isn't a lazy list, though, is it?
m: (^Inf).^name.say
camelia Range
masak no, it's a range
[Coke] ^^
jkramer Ah
masak which is what I meant by, it's not a problem in itself to pick things from a very large range 12:19
jkramer Ok now I get it :)
masak because we can just use the endpoints and straightforward math
jkramer m: (^Inf).list.pick.say
camelia Cannot .pick from a lazy list
in block <unit> at <tmp> line 1
jkramer Yeah that was my fault, I was somehow thinking (^Inf) was an infinite list of integers, not a range 12:20

nige hi - just wanted to share a list of branding suggestions for Perl 6 - nigelhamilton.com/perl-branding-pro...uggestions 16:18
please take this in the intended spirit - the more the merrier
and of course TimToady is at liberty to select none
moritz nige++ 16:20
nige if you would like add one to the list - please email me nige (at) nigelhamilton.com
moritz I can't say I like any of them very much, but I do appreciate the effort and thought
nige thanks moritz - that's a fair comment - I'm not in love with any either 16:21
El_Che nige: my favorite one is not on the list :( 16:24
Zoffix nige: 6lang isn't my suggestion, it was AlexDaniel++'s 16:26
nige that's fine El_Che - you can always suggest one ;-) 16:26
Zoffix - shall I update with AlexDaniel instead?
El_Che nige: it isn't a popular one because of reasons, but it's the only one that doesn't suck ;) : Rakudo 16:27
nige OK - I'll add that too
Zoffix nige: yeah. But if you want to list a suggestion from me, it's "Rakudo"
El_Che For the record, I find *all* the names in the list now terrible, but I would take any one of them to break the Perl 5 - 6 PR nightmare 16:28
Zoffix Some commentary from Damian Conway's email: "Ideally the language itself would be "Rakudo" ("Way of the Camel") and the current implementation would be "Rokudo" ("Way of Six")"
El_Che (list == as of now, I love the Rakudo name)
Zoffix nige: Damian also lists a few more, like "Zeta": gist.github.com/zoffixznet/522abeb...afeebc058a
nige ok - updated the list 16:29
Zoffix I like Rakudo 'cause it's already in use.
El_Che zeta would result in not a lot of people from Mexico and ex-Mexican USA territories joining: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Los_Zetas 16:30
moritz Zeta is the first one I don't actively dislike 16:30
El_Che oh never, mind, it's us: Considered by the US government to be "the most technologically advanced, sophisticated, efficient, violent, ruthless and dangerous cartel operating in Mexico"
I like the tech advances, sophisticated, efficient part 16:31
Zoffix It's also the name of the alien mothership in Fallout games. 16:31
Zoffix nige: "can be used as an identifier in common languages" is also a good criteria to consider. It's why TimToady didn't like 6lang and why we had syntax highlights issues on GitHub for half a year 16:33
El_Che MS 13 (mara salvatrucha 13) has more PR options though, great for starting talking at conferences: i1.wp.com/unitedgangs.com/wp-conte...&ssl=1
nige looking up the trademark system TESS shows a lot of things happening for Zeta - need to look deeper there
ok - can you have a Perl 6 identifier that starts with a number ? I though not. 16:34
thought*
moritz you can't
El_Che to me the 6lang name falls in the cute l33t names 16:35
sounds extremely unprofessional
Zoffix As opposed to "Go" or "D-Lang" or "Rust"? :) 16:36
nige Ok - will add Zeta to the list too later and other suggestions from the Damian - need to be afk - can add more to list later - please email me nige (at) nigelhamilton.com if you would like more added
El_Che Go and Rust have a bigger marketing budget and therefor name recognition. Haven't heard much of D though 16:37
Zoffix m: my &term:<6lang> = {state $v}; 6lang = 42; say 6lang; 6lang = 100; say 6lang
camelia 42
100
Zoffix I started disliking "6lang" (with it's originally suggested pronunciation "Slang") when someone pointed out we our Slang feature would make talks about Slangs rather awful... "So Slang the language has Slang the feature...." 16:38
m: my &term:<6lang> = {$}; 6lang = 42; say 6lang; 6lang = 100; say 6lang 16:39

ilmari s-lang is an existing language: www.jedsoft.org/slang/ 16:44
comborico1611 I'm changing my mind. We should just leave it Perl6. 16:44
Gotta go now.
Zoffix heh 16:44

cfa and i agree, there's a bit of a circular problem at the moment: to validate the current mop design, we probably need to document things so that it's clear what can be used (and how); if we document what can be used, we effectively spec it. 18:04
but that was better said by jnthn in the ticket :)

Clarify that in unsupported open modes…

  …unsupportedness applies to reads/writes too, if the
handle managed to get opened in such a mode.

Zoffix No idea. 18:17

Zoffix c: 2018.02,HEAD say &ords.can: "is-pure"; { for ^1000_000 { my $ = ords "foos"; Nil }; say now - ENTER now } 18:31
committable6 Zoffix, ¦2018.02: «(is-pure)␤3.4240088␤» ¦HEAD(e12e305): «()␤2.2962071␤»
Zoffix I don't get it. &ords and a bunch of other subs lost purity, but are now massively faster. OOohhhhh.. right 18:32
geekosaur ...camelion. pick your poison.
Zoffix nm, brainfart. I was expecting it to fully constant-fold `is-pure` one, but it still has to call a method in runtime.
.ask lizmat is it intentional that a bunch of subs lost their purity in this commit? They do come out faster on HEAD, but I wonder if `is pure` would give even more benefit github.com/rakudo/rakudo/commit/cd...7b598e0bfb 18:33
yoleaux Zoffix: I'll pass your message to lizmat.
Zoffix .tell lizmat oh, I think it's: R#1574 . Tho purity won't affect those subs, would it? 'cause method calls won't be folded, only the subs that delegate to methods. Can those `is pure`s go back, do you know? 18:40
yoleaux Zoffix: I'll pass your message to lizmat.

Zoffix .ask samcv Is this stuff still current? I'm working on the list of 3rd-party packages to include on rakudo.org, but I notice the last commit was Nov 1 github.com/samcv/rakudo-appimage-m...automation 22:21
yoleaux Zoffix: I'll pass your message to samcv.
Zoffix .tell samcv OK, now I see it pushes builds automatically, but which versions are "star-stable" and "star-testing"? Is stable the last release and testing master? github.com/samcv/rakudo-appimage-m...e/gh-pages 22:24
yoleaux Zoffix: I'll pass your message to samcv.
Zoffix The metadata in those AppImages is really messed up... "A programming language. words words words wordswords words words wordswords words words words" 22:28
samcv Zoffix: yeah it's not up to date 22:33
Zoffix samcv: ok, then I guess I'll exclude it from the list for now.
samcv yeah that's a good idea 22:35

Herby_ How can a programming novice contribute to Perl 6? 23:40
timotimo finding problems with documentation is a big way 23:43
i got my start in perl6 development writing tests for bug reports, iirc 23:44
timotimo depending on the bug it might take a bit more in-depth understanding that a novice might have, or maybe it's just the right amount of "unknown" for a good learing experience 23:44
Herby_ where do i go to view bug reports? 23:45
timotimo buggable: testneeded 23:46
AlexDaniel buggable: tag testneeded 23:47
buggable AlexDaniel, There are 52 tickets tagged with TESTNEEDED; See fail.rakudo.party/t/TESTNEEDED for details
timotimo ah, that's how!
AlexDaniel yea, stupid bot
timotimo that has been updated to also nom github issues, right? 23:48
AlexDaniel not yet, github issues here: github.com/rakudo/rakudo/issues?q=...testneeded 23:49
timotimo good to know
AlexDaniel github.com/zoffixznet/r6/issues/11
Herby_ ok i'll poke around. thanks
AlexDaniel fwiw there are many LHF tickets there 23:50
timotimo there's probably also a module you could write and publish that could help others, that can be an interesting and important experience
AlexDaniel because dogbert++ marked a bunch as ｢testneeded｣
(and nobody looked at these tickets yet!) 23:51
timotimo you could be the first human to look at these tickets! exciting!
AlexDaniel well, the first human after dogbert added testneeded tag 23:52
timotimo oh, so dogbert *is* a human?
i suppose more bert than dog, then
AlexDaniel I don't want to assume anything
… even though I did :P
timotimo people do things they don't want to do all the time 23:53
Herby_ :)
timotimo oh, and of course doing perl6 stuff publically is also a good way to help 23:54
timotimo i should do more SDL2::Raw stuff with perl6 again 23:55
AlexDaniel Herby_: also, maybe github.com/perl6/doc/issues/ ?
timotimo haven't done anything after the last bits of performance improvements have landed, i don't think
AlexDaniel by the way, looking for suggestions for the next squashathon 23:56
I was thinking maybe whateverable, but we'll have to delay that for a bit (until tests stop segfaulting) 23:57
timotimo Herby_: twitter.com/loltimo/status/904058942078246915 - twitter.com/loltimo/status/904038390131286025 - you think i should make more like this 23:58
Herby_ AlexDaniel: thanks, i'll take a look 23:59
timotimo: that is pretty cool. is the code posted somewhere?
