japhb jnthn, is it expected that blizkost no longer builds against current Parrot (at least, Plumage can't build it)? 00:41
jnthn japhb: Yes, I think the PCC changes probably hit it quite hard. 00:44
japhb jnthn, ah, OK. I wanted to make sure I hadn't broken something in Plumage it needed.
jnthn No, almost certainly not.

Wolfman2000 ...and among the new pieces of stress to my convoluted puzzle...I apparently now have two full time job opportunities while I'm trying to get through college...and neither job seems to allow the flexibility of staying with college.
I'm starting to wonder whether you guys are good luck for me or not. 00:57
Woodi Wolfman2000: easy, collage is important and Perl6 ALPHA :) 00:58
Wolfman2000 Woodi: I don't get how ALPHA fits into "important"
Woodi whatewer you do Perl6 will wait :) 00:59
probably :)
"first things first"..
Wolfman2000 Woodi: Hmm...true. Still, I want to at least get a dedicated Perl 6 pastebin up. 01:03
I'm actually almost ready to test that part...slowly.
Woodi you write it entirelly in Perl 6 ? 01:04
Wolfman2000 Woodi: nope. This is in Perl 5. masak is working on a Perl 6 version. Eventually we'll combine forces or something. 01:05
I still don't know enough about Web.pm to even attempt. 01:06
Woodi Rakudo master at least builds :) 01:07

Wolfman2000 Back from 2nd dinner. 1st dinner sucked. eternaleye: first attempt at pasting went...unsuccessful. Trying to understand what went wrong. 04:13
eternaleye Wolfman2000: Okay. Have you got the API the commandline client will use figured out? If so, maybe I can start with getting an actual CLI client coded up. 04:14
Wolfman2000 eternaleye: Didn't get that far yet. Sorry.
I need to make sure the thing pastes and can be viewed first.
eternaleye Wolfman2000: Not a problem; I'm in no rush :D
Wolfman2000 What I can tell you: whatever your client does, it has to be able to send POST data.
Also, while I'm here: is there a permanent way to force MySQL into a sort of strict mode? 04:16
eternaleye Wolfman2000: Global sql_mode is probably what you want: dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/ser...-mode.html - session is for that connection; global is for _all_ connections 04:22
(I googled 'mysql persistent strict')
(I can haz the googlemancy powerz)
Also, POST is easy enough with either curl or wget 04:23
I'm thinking to use curl or wget, wrapped in perl for the first client, then transition to pure-perl so that it works on Windows 04:24
Wolfman2000 eternaleye: what I'm also debating...do we allow anonymous pastings with the CLI?

eternaleye Wolfman2000: Yes. 04:25
Wolfman2000 right: check credentials before parsing the files.
eternaleye Wolfman2000: Although I'd recommend setting up Apache to deny unreasonable numbers of connections from individual IPs

i would like what is "normal"...
moritz_ "normal" is installed. 09:53
Woodi so /opt/perl/bin/perl6 is right one if parrot there too ?
moritz_ IMHO yes
mberends at short notice there is no remedy except to restructure your Rakudo installation... next week I shall have some time to fix the thing properly. 09:54
Woodi rakudo_dir will be in that case /opt/perl/bin... but rakudo Test.pm is moved deeply into parrot-dev install

Wolfman2000 masak: If I run into further trouble, I'll probably find a way to email you the schema I made.
Su-Shee no, he didn't really.

Wolfman2000 Juerd: ignore that request
Juerd Okay 19:55
I'm glad you say that because I have no experience with Pg from a sysadmin perspective.
Wolfman2000 I'm going to try to use sqlite for my Perl 6 Pastebin instead
Juerd Why would pastes even need a database?
Wolfman2000 Catalyst + DBIC + MySQL = *KABOOM*
Juerd: registration, tags, expiring pastes, etc
Juerd It's write-once, then readonly, and typically single id'ed/indexed.
Registration? 19:56
As in user accounts?
Wolfman2000 Yes. It's optional though.
This way, no one else can use wolfman2000 for me
Juerd Hm. Sounds a bit over-designed to be honest :) 19:57
Wolfman2000 Juerd: www.pumpproedits.com <-- I'm capable of it. That was designed using Python, Pylons, and PostgreSQL. Use of peeing three times not intended. Use of the lame joke fully intended. 19:58
TimToady phone 20:00
Su-Shee I like a little syntax highlighting and the possibility to edit the paste, that's it. 20:03
Wolfman2000 Su-Shee: syntax highlighting is planned. editing the paste? Well, it would work best if I implemented user accounts for that. Otherwise, I plan on having a limited form of annotations/paste grouping.
Su-Shee why would I need an account to edit _pastebin-ed_ code?! 20:05
Wolfman2000 Su-Shee: Because I don't like the idea of anonymous people editing other people's pastes.
PerlJam Wolfman2000: who said anything about editting?
Su-Shee I pastebin a problem and juerd - instead of endlessly elaborating - adds a few lines of code - problem solved. 20:06
Wolfman2000 Su-Shee: wait for Google Wave.
PerlJam oh, Su-Shee did
Hmm
Su-Shee I already have google wave.
Wolfman2000 Su-Shee: Well I don't.
Su-Shee and several pastebins support editing.
masak mberends: do you remember your novemer-wiki.org password? 20:07
Wolfman2000 Su-Shee: name one that allows you to edit anyone else's paste
oZ] There's a lot of pooping on ideas here.
mberends masak: yes, shall I broadcast it to the googlesphere? 20:08
PerlJam Wolfman2000: so ... why have accounts at all anyway? Each edit creates a new post.
masak mberends: no; could you try logging in?
oZ] Wolfman2000: You could allow those maintaining the same session to be able to edit the pastes they made without authenticating.
Su-Shee: Why wouldn't you just create a new paste with the updates? 20:09
diakopter oZ]: yeah; several problems apparently there: 1) #perl6 attracts the constipated; 2) #perl6 has a laxative effect; and 3) everyone's ideas in #perl look like toilets. :/
figuratively, of course, for all 3.
Wolfman2000 ...how simple do you guys want a syntax highlighting Perl 6 pastebin? 20:10
This is meant for all of you, after all.

KyleHa A pastebin should be very simple, like paste.lisp.org. The hardest thing on it should be the capcha.
Wolfman2000 KyleHa: should I include a captcha? 20:13

moritz_ not until you need it
oZ] IRC should be simple, but we have Nickservs.
mberends nom &

KyleHa If I have to log into it, I won't use it (I can already do that on github).
oZ] moritz: which is why accounts shouldn't be required.
Wolfman2000 KyleHa: You don't have to log into it
Accounts are optional. 20:14
oZ] but available.
Wolfman2000 oZ]: That's my goal.
Accounts are available, but not required.
You can post as anonymous, and you can also claim any name that is not password protected.
KyleHa Wolfman2000: You don't need captcha right off the bat, but it might be good to plan for it.
oZ] Integrating reCaptcha is pretty easypeasy.
Wolfman2000 KyleHa, oZ]: I'll worry about captcha later. 20:15
Right now, I just want...well, a working database. mysql-- sucks.
oZ] Agreed.
Wolfman2000 I'll throw my support to postgresql++ and sqlite++ at this time. 20:16
db2-- seems to cost money, and mssql-- is Microsoft.
oZ] Depending on use, I'll get behind that.
I'll even Oracle++ compared to mysql--.
Wolfman2000 ...then it's official. Time to recreate my tables...using sqlite 20:17
And hope I don't blow it.
PerlJam oZ]: oracle is fat enough already ;)
jnthn fwiw, mssql++ ain't so bad, in my experience.
I'd choose it over mysql.
erm, mysql-- I meant
;-)
oZ] mssql isn't terrible, but the fact that I have to run it on a Windows server combined with the ridiculous DBD play I have to do leaves it behind. :) 20:18

masak jnthn: is there any way, from within Rakudo, to force a Str to be coded in utf-8?

[particle] and will release with Artistic 2

jnthn Juerd: Yay! My first Dutch swear word.
Soon my Dutch vocab will be on a par with my Swedish. ;)
Juerd jnthn: It contains the Dutch hard g though, so you can't pronounce it :D
jnthn Oh crap.
Juerd Some dialects pronounce the ch as k 22:42
Then schijt becomes like skite.
japhb NQP users: When I need to bind an empty array to a hash element in NQP, I've come up with two ways: 1. '%foo<bar> = my @empty;' which unfortunately is prone to error if you try it twice in the same scope and forget to use a different name for @empty, or 2) '%foo<bar> = {my @empty}();' which fixes the naming problem, but is even uglier than #1. Any better ideas?
jnthn That sounds a tad easier. :-)
masak jnthn: don't worry, I'll teach you the Dutch 'g' in Latvia.
japhb: a sub? 22:43
jnthn japhb: sub make_me_an_empty() { my @empty; @empty }
masak is faster o/
jnthn is exampler o/
japhb masak, jnthn: That's what I *used* to have, and what I was trying to get rid of. ;-)
pmichaud japhb: what would you like it to be?
masak japhb: don't get rid of it! it's great! 22:44
japhb pmichaud, []
pmichaud japhb: how abut %foo<bar> := () ?
or that
japhb either!
pmichaud I can make those happen.
jnthn my @a = pir::split('') # ;-)
er, := of course :-)
pmichaud nqp: say(());
p6eval nqp: Confused at line 1, near "say(());"␤current instr.: 'parrot;HLL;Grammar;panic' pc 448 (src/cheats/hll-grammar.pir:197)␤
japhb pmichaud, the problem is that %foo<bar> := (1,2); works, as does := (1,) ... but not := ();
pmichaud okay. Will fix when I get back tonight.
jnthn pmichaud: I'd find it quite useful too. 22:45
pmichaud hmmm, I wonder
nqp: say(<>);
p6eval nqp: ␤
pmichaud nqp: say(<>.elems);
p6eval nqp: Method 'elems' not found for invocant of class 'String'␤current instr.: '_block11' pc 0 (EVAL_1:6)␤
jnthn aww
pmichaud nqp: say(pir::elements(<>));
p6eval nqp: 0␤
pmichaud ftw
japhb So := (<>) then?
pmichaud nqp: my %h; %h<a> := <>; say(pir::elements(%h<a>)); 22:46
p6eval nqp: 0␤
pmichaud <> works for now :-)
but yes, () should work also
jnthn rakudo: say <>.WHAT
p6eval rakudo 50e495: List()␤
pmichaud rakudo ftw
jnthn nqp: say(<>.WHAT)
p6eval nqp: Method 'WHAT' not found for invocant of class 'String'␤current instr.: '_block11' pc 0 (EVAL_1:6)␤
pmichaud ...string?
jnthn The String there confuses me. 22:47
pmichaud hmmm. fail.
japhb pmichaud, yeah, that's suboptimal
jnthn pmichaud: It said it above for .elems too
pmichaud right, it should be ResizablePMCArray
jnthn pmichaud: Right.
pmichaud elements on a string returns the number of characters in Parrot
jnthn Oh.
Fail.
pmichaud Fail.
pmichaud hangs his head.
jnthn hugme: hug pmichaud
hugme hugs pmichaud
pmichaud I'll see about fixing it tonight.
japhb I'm constantly falling over ("foo",) is a list, but ("foo") is a string, which will happily be treated as a container if you try to iterate it! 22:48
pmichaud I'll get () to work
diakopter nqp: say(< 11>[2])
p6eval nqp: 1␤
pmichaud I take little responsibility for Parrot's builtin PMC semantics.
japhb pmichaud, Oh, not blaming you. Just saying it's *really* easy to trip over that one.
pmichaud I'm still trying to figure out exactly how I want @(...) and %(...) to work in the general case 22:49
anyway, the answer should be (). and maybe {} can create an empty hash. 22:50
diakopter nqp: say(<<<<h>>>>[0])
p6eval nqp: h␤
diakopter fires up the fuzzer
jnthn pmichaud: We could get rid of loads of Q:PIR in Actions.pm with that.
pmichaud jnthn: then we shall do it.
japhb pmichaud, masak: FWIW, instead of make_me_an_empty(), I actually have as_array(), which was just a PIR function to slurp up the args and return the slurped array. 22:51
jnthn \\o/
pmichaud okay, gotta take kid to soccer practice. bbiah or so
jnthn kk
japhb pmichaud, thanks
pmichaud japhb: fwiw, my evening tonight is likely to be nqp stuff, including placing nqp into parrot repo. 22:52
(gone)
japhb YAY!
pmichaud++ # For when he gets back. :-)
Juerd diakopter: What's a fuzzer? 22:56
It sounds a bit like phaser.
But... fuzzier.
jnthn Ooh. Anonymous roles should work in ng too. :-) 22:57
Juerd Oh. Turns out this is one of those things that you should search for with normal Google instead of Google Images :)
Juerd kills time reading what people say about Dutch toilets. It's hilarious :) 22:58
diakopter Juerd: short for fuzz-tester 22:59
can use a parser's or compiler's input grammar to generate bad (or good!) inputs... 23:00
moritz_ or uses an existing valid input and mutates it randomly 23:01
jnthn or you can just give it to diakopter
The Human Fuzzer

masak my pleasure.
quietfanatic Now I'm getting a "invoke() not implemented in class 'ResizablePMCArray'" the second time I use the overloaded trait_mod:<is> but not the first...
moritz_ rakudo: say 'user_name=carl'.split("=")[1].PARROT 23:10
p6eval rakudo 50e495: String␤
moritz_ rakudo: say 'carl'.PARROT
p6eval rakudo 50e495: Str␤
moritz_ there you go.
masak moritz_: d'oh!
moritz_: I didn't get that in my method. 23:11
could the String have been wrapped in a Str or something?
masak adds moritz_'s discovery to the ticket
moritz_ rakudo: say 'user_name=carl'.split("=")[1].trans(['c'] => ['C'])
p6eval rakudo 50e495: too few positional arguments: 2 passed, 3 (or more) expected␤in Main (file <unknown>, line <unknown>)␤
moritz_ rakudo: say 'carl'.trans(['c'] => ['C'])
p6eval rakudo 50e495: Carl␤
moritz_ masak: t/spec/integration/real-strings.t is full of similar tests 23:12
.trans happens to be a good method to test that because it's present both in parrot and rakudo, but uses a different call syntax
masak nod.
moritz_ and we already have a test case of $str.split(Regex)
masak I should have thought of the .trans test for my strings. 23:13
so... all evening, I've been chasing a known bug. :/ 23:14
moritz_ this particular instance was not known.
masak no?
masak gets hopeful again
moritz_ I don't understand that 23:17
masak ah. time to sleep, I believe. 23:18
moritz_ Any.split(Any), which is the case that Str.split(Str) handles, just uses .substr to under extract the pieces
rakudo: say 'carl'.substr(0, 2).PARROT
p6eval rakudo 50e495: String␤
moritz_ oh.
masak :)
moritz_ so that's to blame. 23:19
masak it's a wonder any programs using strings work at all!
moritz_ aye
masak 'night
moritz_ that's probably we extract so often with regexes
good night
jnthn night masak

Wolfman2000 ...if I'm lucky, I'll finally be able to relax a little. SQLite work later tonight for the pastebin. 23:20

p6eval rakudo 50e495: Str␤
diakopter rakudo: say (~('carl'.substr(0, 2)))
p6eval rakudo 50e495: ca␤
diakopter hee hee
moritz_ I just tried to change substr to return a PMC instead of string register
diakopter a fix 23:24
moritz_ Null PMC access in set_string_native()
whiel compiling
while compiling the setting
I don't even want to know what happens if I move it to the setting 23:26
jnthn moritz_: You may need to instantiate the pMC first 23:28
moritz_: nopaste the diff?
moritz_ $P0 = $S1
return($P0)
instead of
return($S1)
would $P0 = box $S1
help?
jnthn no 23:29
$P0 = new ['Str'] 23:30
$P0 = $s1
*S1
.return ($P0)
Try that.
moritz_ will do

mberends evening mathw, 5 minutes before UTC-morning :) 23:55
mathw yes 23:56
however I just got in
so it's still evening for me
jnthn hi mathw :-)
mathw I just validated all the money I ever spent on singing lessons 23:57
moritz_ mathw: do tell ;-)
mathw sang at a charity gig with the band from work
it went down really well 23:58
loads of people came
and bought raffle tickets
think the raffle raised about £750
there was lots of dancing and singing along
and applause, which we performers do like to hear :)
moritz_ cool
mberends mathw++ # IRC applause
mathw So I'm buzzing
my singing teacher even came along 23:59
jnthn mathw++ # cool! :-)
mathw and seemed to have a lovely time
she was dancing and singing along and getting rather drunk
