andreoss m: use MONKEY-TYPING; augment class Cool {method even { self %% 2 }}; 10.even.say 00:46
camelia No such method 'even' for invocant of type 'Int'. Did you mean 'even'?
in block <unit> at <tmp> line 1
andreoss m: use MONKEY-TYPING; augment class Cool {method even { self %% 2 }}; augment class Int {} ; 10.even.say 00:47
camelia True
Zoffix m: use MONKEY-TYPING; augment class Cool {method even { self %% 2 }}; Int.^compose; 10.even.say 00:50
camelia True
Zoffix You need to recompose the classes before they'd see your augment of their base class
andreoss m: use MONKEY-TYPING; augment class Cool {method even { self %% 2 }}; Numeric.^compose ; 10.even.say 00:55
camelia No such method 'compose' for invocant of type 'Perl6::Metamodel::ParametricRoleGroupHOW'

andreoss i see
andreoss is there a better way to alias method to several names? 01:04
other than FALLBACK
Zoffix The only one I know of is .^add_method
in a loop
m: class Foo { method x { say "meow" }; for <a b c> { ::?CLASS.^add_method: $_, ::?CLASS.^find_method("x") } }; with Foo.new { .x; .a; .b; .c; } 01:06
camelia meow
meow
meow
meow
Zoffix (I forget if that `for` needs to be in a BEGIN block
)
It's probably possible to make a trait that adds aliases and I think Rakudo used to have that, implemented by lizmat++. Perhaps she would know more how to do it. 01:09
MasterDuke andreoss, Zoffix: it was the 'aka' trait, but i think asked her about it a while ago and she didn't have any interest anymore 02:59
Zoffix Ah.
MasterDuke some more info here: irclog.perlgeek.de/perl6/2017-03-06#i_14215119 03:00

samcv yay. everyone reading for unicode database updating to unicode 10 05:17
samcv hangul characters will have names as well (they have to be algorithmically created in our unicode database script) 05:20
teatime does one of the perl6 concurrency primitives resemble unix streams 06:05
bufferred, pipeable/chainable, blocking on write when buffer full, blocking on read when empty 06:06
ultimately, I want to be able to define transform-streams that are readable and writable 06:07
that act as filters, like unix commands
teatime so like, two duplex streams (as abstract objects) can be composed into one 06:13
there's some underlying CS or practical knowledge I'm missing
rightfold > pipeable .oO(pineapple)
teatime also there are probably some examples in the ecosystem already if I could find them 06:17
samcv yay unicode 10 bump done. property values are now unique for each property as well 06:43
teatime samcv++ 06:43
u-ou- :) 06:44
samcv almost done with my grant 06:47
samcv wipes sweat from brow
TEttinger woah, there's a unicode 10 already? 07:00
and samcv already implemented most of it???
samcv uhm the database has been updated at least 07:01
so you can like
m: say "\c[ELF]"
camelia 🧝
teatime gotta have them newest emoji charnames
TEttinger haha clearly the most important feature in a language
samcv and they added some other things probably
TEttinger elf and wizard
samcv the only thing i need to test is new flags
TEttinger is there a flag composition engine yet? 07:02
samcv if how flags worked wasn't insane enough, there are now tags you can add
to the flag
www.unicode.org/reports/tr51/tr51-1...-sequences
TEttinger green female doctor united states flag
teatime in seriousness though, esp. since perl6 provides so many cool unicode things, it's super awesome that it's also quick to pick up new versions/characters
teatime new unicodedata, I guess 07:03
samcv m: say "\c[England]"
camelia 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿
samcv sweet. yeah cause we have emoji sequences 07:03
TEttinger can we have an elf that is a flag 07:04
samcv m: say "\c[ENGLAND]".uninames.say
camelia (WAVING BLACK FLAG TAG LATIN SMALL LETTER G TAG LATIN SMALL LETTER B TAG LATIN SMALL LETTER E TAG LATIN SMALL LETTER N TAG LATIN SMALL LETTER G CANCEL TAG)
True
samcv m: say "\c[ENGLAND]".uninames.perl.say
camelia ("WAVING BLACK FLAG", "TAG LATIN SMALL LETTER G", "TAG LATIN SMALL LETTER B", "TAG LATIN SMALL LETTER E", "TAG LATIN SMALL LETTER N", "TAG LATIN SMALL LETTER G", "CANCEL TAG").Seq
True
samcv yeah damn insane
m: say "\c[ENGLAND]".chars
camelia 1
samcv m: say "a\c[ENGLAND]a".chars
camelia 3
samcv ok seems to work.
TEttinger spontaneously combusts
samcv m: say "\c[California]" 07:05
camelia 5===SORRY!5=== Error while compiling <tmp>
Unrecognized character name [California]
at <tmp>:1
------> 3say "\c[California7⏏5]"
samcv they list that as an example but it must not be on the emoji sequences list. i think they just listed it as an example
england scotland and wales are the only ones on the emoji-sequences list. though unicode says you can make others and it's fine 07:06
with specs of how to properly format it
you can color elfs by skin tone wow 07:07
TEttinger no drow, sadly. 07:08
wonder when we get cthulhu emoji 07:09
samcv m: 0x1F6F8.uniname
camelia ( no output )
samcv m: 0x1F6F8.uniname.say
camelia FLYING SAUCER
TEttinger I guess lovecraft's works aren't in public domain in all jurisdictions
or are just getting there 07:10

TEttinger I mean, wizard of oz is public domain
early-ish 1800s
maybe mid
samcv m: 0xD4DB.uniname.say
camelia Hangul Syllable PWILH
TEttinger pwilh?
samcv i added all the hangul(korean) characters names 07:11
TEttinger wow
I hope not by hand
samcv we didn't have that before, i had to generate them
samcv no, not by hand 07:11
m: 0xD4DB.chr.NFD».uniname.say
camelia (HANGUL CHOSEONG PHIEUPH HANGUL JUNGSEONG WI HANGUL JONGSEONG RIEUL-HIEUH)
samcv ah not that uh
but you can see how they have parts of it 07:12
TEttinger m: say "\c[YI SYLLABLE FAP]"
camelia ꃔ
samcv there's a file with the Jamo names, and you decompose the codepoint and then you look up the name
josefwigren.com/wp-content/uploads/...hangul.jpg this is a 2x2 grid
samcv it doesn't have the optional ending consonant. but hangul is consonat + vowel + (trailing consonant)? 07:13
TEttinger sounds about right. with the sound of the consonant dependent on what came before
rather complex language 07:14
nice script
samcv complex? 07:18
ah the language itself. i wouldn't know
TEttinger there's something on wikipedia about how it's one of the languages with the highest class of difficulty for native english speakers to learn 07:21
US state dept. classification for translators I think
samcv the foreign language service you mean
err let me check 07:22
TEttinger I don't know what it was. it might have been a military body that needed to know so soldiers can obey road signs
samcv foreign service institute
yeah it's under the state department
TEttinger (would be pretty bad if an armed soldier couldn't get back to the base)
samcv yeah it's category V 07:23
with japanese arabic cantonese and mandarin
which says about 4x as many hours to reach a certain level of proficiency compared to dutch french italian norwegian portuguese romanian spanish or swedish or afrikaans 07:24
TEttinger "the tough ones"
TEttinger french is definitely harder than spanish 07:24
they're both regular, but french has a lot more rules
and dutch is almost english 07:25
samcv well it's closer to english than german at least
TEttinger yeah. I wonder where german is on the list 07:26
samcv but i'd say there are easier romance languages just because they share more in common
category II
samcv TEttinger, www.effectivelanguagelearning.com/l...difficulty 07:26
TEttinger russian is a notoriously hard language to translate literature from 07:26
samcv why so? 07:27
TEttinger I think it's mainly due to connotations that words have in Russian and the words being used artistically to have more than one meaning 07:28
(and no English words share the same connotations, so you need more words)
jast same is true for all translations to some extent
TEttinger there's some classic russian literature, for sure, but it's definitely difficult to read 07:28
jast and I've read my share of terrible translations (not Russian, though, I don't know the language at all) 07:29
samcv that's common in lots of cases though
unless russian just on average has words which don't have similar connotations available in english
TEttinger the extreme case is mat, the russian language of vulgarity, which primarily uses "the big four" obscenities in a dizzying conglomeration of arrangements to mean almost anything imaginable that is vulgar 07:30
samcv i have heard of mat 07:31
TEttinger USSR tried to outlaw it, failed, people continue to try that
samcv it's seen as not classy?
well swearing usually is. but i mean compared to other swear words
TEttinger I don't have the cultural background, but as I understand it, it is the bulk of the swear words 07:32
and compared to English, where new obscenities disseminate all the time, I think those 4 are old standards
teatime has flashbacks to The Brothers Karamazov
u-ou- where should I put my code I want to run when a class gets instantiated and when the instance gets deleted? 07:36

BooK I'm having some trouble running the roast test suite as documented in the README 10:28

samcv bisectable6, "\c[man in suit levitating: medium skin tone]".say 10:36

samcv, bisect log: gist.github.com/9904509a0de1c77ede...2ad245084f
samcv, (2017-01-22) github.com/rakudo/rakudo/commit/58...923d2004e7
Zoffix BooK: unfortunately, the effort to make running roast while only having a roast checkout kinda stalled without being completed to the end. Many of the tests expect you to be running roast from a directory that's ../.. from the roast checkout, with the roast checkout located in t/spec/ 10:42
BooK: for example, that's the setup if you clone rakudo and run `make test` the make clones roast repo automatically into t/spec 10:43
BooK: That partilar test file can probably be made to work by using PERL6LIB=packages/ ./fudgeandrun … … to tell it where the Test::Util is at, but I know other files have more assumptions about the roast running from t/spec 10:44
BooK Zoffix: yes, the PERL6LIB=... with a single test file is what I tried 10:46
so there's still a lot of "scratch your own itch" to do :-) 10:47
on an unrelated subject, where can I find some nqp documentation?
seems like digging in src/core requires knowing about nqp :-)
Zoffix BooK: the ops are in github.com/perl6/nqp/blob/master/d...s.markdown the QAST are in github.com/perl6/nqp/blob/master/d...t.markdown and nqp::p6 ops are in github.com/rakudo/rakudo/blob/nom/...s.markdown 10:48
(some ops are unfortunatelly undocumented)
Zoffix This will checkout and build rakudo and clone the roast repo into a dir where it works. Run t/fudheandrun Some-Test (from rakudo dir) and it'll work for all test files: git clone github.com/rakudo/rakudo/ ; cd rakudo; perl Configure.pl --gen-moar --gen-nqp --backends=moar; make; make test; make install; git clone github.com/perl6/roast t/spec; 10:51
huggable: internals course
huggable Zoffix, Rakudo/NQP Internals Course: github.com/edumentab/rakudo-and-nq...s-workshop
pmurias BooK: for nqp:: ops you might want to also look at the t/nqp test suite in the nqp repo
Zoffix BooK: ^ a slightly outdated internals course that has more info on how the guts fit together
BooK thanks 10:53
census i'm running this program: pastebin.com/7mFtZfpT 12:53
census I input the data from a .txt file. It seems if the .txt file is too large I get an error 'Malformed UTF-8' i tried looking this up in the logs but i couldn't understand how to fix it. all I realized is if I remove entries from the input .txt file and run the program it was okay 12:54
timotimo we're just now tracking down one cause of this very bug 12:55
sena_kun eater, o/ 12:55
eater sena_kun o/ 12:56
Zoffix ❤❤❤ New blog post: "On Troll Hugging, Hole Digging, and Improving Open Source Communities": rakudo.party/post/On-Troll-Hugging...ommunities
census timotimo are you refering to the bug i mentioned? 12:57
timotimo the "malformed utf-8" one, yeah
sena_kun eater, if cro's ipv6-related issue is yours, can you test the fix(latest commit)? Still silly ipv4 on this side.
eater sena_kun: It's running the test now :)
census do you have a guess at how large of a .txt input file i can have so that the program will run okay?
sena_kun \o/
eater sena_kun: fails D:
sena_kun ugh. 12:58
eater, can you paste the full log and pm me with a link?
eater sena_kun: yep! you're gonna love the name of the machine I'm on c: hastebin.com/raw/wavizequho 12:59
sena_kun :D
MasterDuke census: i don't think it's the size of the file that's the problem, but that certains characters are falling on the boundaries of the bytesize that's read at a time 13:00
eater sena_kun: I think you should put the host on `127.0.0.1`
that would fix it
MasterDuke so adding/removing individual lines might hide the problem for you 13:01
census MasterDuke I see. it's basically trial and error at that point
MasterDuke census: yep (but hopefully not for long)
census also i have 1 question about the code if that's okay please 13:03
my code is at:
pastebin.com/7mFtZfpT
census if the input for a particular row into @terms has a space like in www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=...states[pl] for Aarskog Syndrome how may I account for that 13:04
when i do this part of the code: sub make-term (:$term, :$year) { '(' ~ $term ~ '[Title/Abstract] AND united states[pl] AND (("' ~ $year ~ '/01/01"[PDat] : "' ~ $year ~ '/12/31"[PDat])))' }
Zoffix census: it should already be accounted by &uri_encode in my @terms = "list.txt".IO.lines.map: &uri_encode; 13:05
census Zoffix yes i thought it would be but it doesn't seem to be
MasterDuke census: you are already "using" URI::Encode, i don't know the name of the routine, but you'd probaby do something like `uri-encode($term)` instead of just `$term` 13:06
Zoffix census: what if you change it to : my @terms = "list.txt".IO.lines.map: *.subst(:g, " ", "+").&uri_encode 13:07
MasterDuke i think it's actually `uri-escape` 13:08
Zoffix buggable: eco URI::Encode 13:09
buggable Zoffix, URI::Encode 'Encode and decode URIs according to RFC 3986': github.com/perl6-community-modules/URI-Encode
Zoffix Docs use uri_encode
moritz Zoffix++ # troll hugging community rambly sort of blog post :-) 13:10
Zoffix \o/
census Zoffix yes i think the way you set it up wil work
or maybe not
i'll let you know in a few
yes Zoffix it works perfectly now that aspect 13:11
Zoffix Sweet
census i really thought that was the purpose of the other uri coding so i had let it go
Skarsnik Should URI handling be in core? 13:12
census Zoffix did you catch my other note? that i'm trying to input many inputs in the input file but that doesn'tjive i get a malformed ut-8 error
MasterDuke oops, i was looking at the docs for URI::Escape (from the URI module)
census do you know if there's any way to guess in advance which ones might be causing that
Zoffix Skarsnik: no, considering it's not an exact science.
census without trial and error
Skarsnik Zoffix, dunno was there a RFC for URI 13:13
MasterDuke census: i don't think we've figured out the bug to that level of detail yet
Zoffix Skarsnik: but there's also real world use. URI module for example crashes on many real-world URLs
Zoffix (that you can get when, say, parsing some web page) 13:14
Skarsnik URL != URI
Zoffix URL is the only thing.
Didn't W3C say URI is ded and just use URL for all the things? 13:15

andrzejku hey people
:P
census i found a problematic entry. it has an apostrpohe in it: Addison’s Disease 13:23
perhaps i'm not doing the appropriate apostrophe ? 13:24
yes that helped significantly with the problem 13:26
MasterDuke fyi, the URI::Escape module turned that into: Addison%E2%80%99s%20Disease
census which may be a separate issue 13:27
but i just redid it to Addison's Disease and at least the program runs
but i don't think it's running correctly. it's giving me outputs of all 0's which i'm doubting is the case
census Yes it's a legit issue for the ' 13:34
it's reading Alzheimer's Disease as Alzheimer%27s+Disease

alexk ah, ok 16:14
MasterDuke alexk: also, i think your two .list's aren't needed 16:14
Zoffix ilmari[m]: thanks. And yeah, the title and most of the articles still need to be renamed. I haven't gotten around to it yet 16:14
alexk MasterDuke: the point is that hyper occassionaly fails wherby race seem to work ... 16:15
Zoffix Yeah, it was just never implemented beyond a proof of concept and accidentally made it into the language without requiring `use experimental` pragma :) 16:16
MasterDuke alexk: yep, just trying to golf it down to a shorter representation of the problem (i.e., making sure the .list's weren't somehow contributing to the bug) 16:19
MasterDuke m: for ^100 -> $i { say $i if (^100).hyper(:batch(2), :degree(4)).map(* + 1).sum != 5050; }; say "done"; # this is a little shorter, but shows the same behaviour 16:20
camelia done

camelia 8
mspo u: 壱 16:31
unicodable6 mspo, U+58F1 <CJK Ideograph> [Lo] (壱)
Zoffix ilmari: in that instance, Rakudo's strong patterm of expecting term -> op -> term takes place. The ² is a term, since it can't be chained with other No or Nd chars, ³ is not a part of it. Next, the language expects an op to appear after the term, it sees ³, which in this context is an operator (and multiple Nos can form the power ops). Hence, the result is 2**3, without any ambiguity of meaning :) 16:33
Zoffix & :)
ilmari Zoffix: I know, but it can be surprising (we've had this conversation before, I agree it's consistent and the right thing) 16:34
raschipi the most useful thing about the superscript syntax is explaining the self-clocking properties of Perl6. 16:35
alexk Zoffix: so i suppose it doesn't make sense to open a ticket for the "hyper" failure now. 16:40
Skarsnik dunno, if you have a reiable test case that fail it's good
Zoffix alexk: don't think so. Also, a few of them already have been filed (e.g. rt.perl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id...et-history ) 16:41
huggable: rakudobugs 16:42
huggable Zoffix, Report bugs by emailing to [email@hidden.address]
Zoffix alexk: but if you like, you could always email your buggy test case to ^
(which could become part of the test suit when the .hyper and .race get nailed down)
raschipi alexk: have you tried doing those things using atomic operations? 16:44
pompomcrab how do i debug this error while using HTTP::UserAgent? "MoarVM panic: Internal error: invalid thread ID 119468032 in GC work pass" 16:51
census Zoffix if you were wondering I fixed my problem I told you about earlier
I forget the error message what it was called
Skarsnik pompomcrab, hm that sucksn try a --lvm-execptiob ? 16:52
census I realized if it had any non-English accent marks in a word that was a problem. Like to word fiancee with the accent mark. Also the apostrophe I had to reformat .
AlexDaniel pompomcrab: any chance of getting the code smaller so that we have something short to reproduce the issue? 16:53
pompomcrab: and how consistent is it? Could be a regression too 16:54
Skarsnik: did you mean --ll-exception? :)
alexk raschipi: no, I don't think it has anything to do with that in this case.
Skarsnik yes lol 16:55
AlexDaniel pompomcrab: in fact, if the code to reproduce the issue is in one file, we can already shove it into a bot and we'll get more info 16:56
AlexDaniel doesn't have to be small 16:56

Aaronepower Hello, how do you check a variable's type? 18:40
geekosaur m: my $a; say $a.WHAT
camelia (Any)
geekosaur m: my Int $a; say $a.WHAT
camelia (Int)
AlexDaniel m: say 42 ~~ Int
camelia True
moritz Aaronepower: a variable's or a value's type? 18:41
Skarsnik__ .^name 18:42
moritz m: my Any $x = 42; say $x.^name; say $x.VAR.of.^name
camelia Int
Any
Skarsnik hm interesting 18:43
Aaronepower moritz: What's the difference? 18:44
moritz Aaronepower: in my example above, the variable $x is constrained to type Any, but holds a value of type Int. This works, because Int is a sub type of (more specific than) Any 18:45
ruoso__ Is there a way to dynamically ask for the value of an attribute of self ? 18:47
self.^attributes gives me the attribute meta-object, but I can't quite figure out how to use it to inquire the value from an object 18:48
Zoffix ruoso__: isn't it just $!some-attribute? 18:49
ruoso__ right, but I don't know the attribute name
Zoffix Ah
Aaronepower moritz: Well I want what it really is, so in that case Int. 18:50
smls m: class A { has $.x}; my $a = A.new(x => 42); say $a.^attributes[0].get_value($a)
camelia 42
smls ruoso__: ^^
sjn moritz: I just tried to look for documentation for $x.VAR.of.^name, and have trouble finding it on docs.perl6.org
ruoso__ oh, I was looking at the .^methods of the attribute meta-object but missed the get_value from it 18:51
sjn VAR docs say "Returns the underlying Scalar object", but .of seems to be something related to Variable
ruoso__ oh, I was looking at the .^methods of the attribute meta-object but missed the get_value from it...
oops, sorry
sjn is there a documentation bug there? 18:52
ruoso__ ah, I was using a native type to inspect the attribute meta object
which has a different type of meta-object
Zoffix sjn: possible. I don't see .of documented on docs.perl6.org/type/Scalar.html
ruoso__ m: say (1).^attributes[0].get_value(23)
camelia No such method 'get_value' for invocant of type 'BOOTSTRAPATTR'
in block <unit> at <tmp> line 1
Zoffix sjn: would you please report it? github.com/perl6/doc/issues/new 18:53
sjn sure
smls ruoso__: the argument to .get_value needs to be the object that has the attribute.
Zoffix sjn: hopefully it gets taken care of this Saturday during the SQUASHathon :) You should come. blogs.perl.org/users/zoffix_znet/20...athon.html
sjn yay! \o/
Skarsnik m: class A {has $.a is rw; method foo{self."a"()}}; my A $b .= new(:a<foo>); $b.foo; 18:56
camelia ( no output )
smls sjn: `.VAR` is still magic to me, as well... "Returns the underlying Scalar object"? Well, simply `$x` by itself also evaluates to the Scalar. Somehow VAR returns the Scalar in such a way that it no longer passes through (all) methods? Or something? :) 18:56

moritz but I tend to just stick a # on the start of every line. 19:49
Aaronepower Hmm, perl6 seems to take a long time to start up is there anyway to reduce that?
sjn Aaronepower: first time, perl6 is creating precompile cache files for your code. is that's what's happening, perhaps? 19:51
second and later runs should be faster
moritz Aaronepower: in the long run, donating to www.perlfoundation.org/perl_6_core_...pment_fund helps
sjn hehe
moritz not using really old versions of rakudo can also help, if you're doing that 19:53
Aaronepower Hmm, maybe JSON::Tiny is the problem. 19:59

lizmat hmmm... that feels like an omission :-)
tadzik Aaronepower: just loading it, or actual parse time? 20:02
is perl6 -MJSON::Tiny -e '' long by itself?
takes 0.24 seconds here
Aaronepower tadzik: Parse is instant, it's actually running the code that takes so long.
tadzik oh, I meant JSON::Tiny parsing things
moritz Aaronepower: try JSON::Fast
tadzik also, try --profile to see what's slow :) 20:03
AlexDaniel JSON::Tiny is really slow, that's “normal” 20:04
b2gills Aaronepower: `$_.WHAT ~~ Array` doesn't tell you anything that `$_ ~~ Array` doesn't already tell you 20:06
Aaronepower This is my code. It classify doesn't seem to do what I expect. The JSON is an array of objects and in classify $_ is just the same array as in @json paste.rs/fNw 20:11
moritz Aaronepower: == Nil looks suspicious; == does numeric comparison 20:21

Geth doc: f44b7124cd | (Moritz Lenz)++ | doc/Language/regexes.pod6
Actually document & in regexes
moritz Aaronepower: you could try my @json = from-json(...).list; 20:26
if it happens to return an array in a scalar, or something other weird
Skarsnik what does classify do?
moritz Skarsnik: put values of a list into buckets according to a code block 20:27
Aaronepower Skarsnik: As I understand it's like filter but it also gives you what failed the filter. 20:28
moritz: How do you use `&&` with :exists it gives me `You can't adverb &infix:<&&>` error
moritz Skarsnik: for example @strings.classify: { .substr(0, 1) } gives you strings grouped by the first character
Aaronepower: parenthesis :( 20:29
moritz ($_<a>:exists) && ($_<b>:exists) 20:29
MasterDuke moritz: that's a good description. how would you describe categorize (/me can never remember the difference)?
moritz MasterDuke: the difference seems to be that the block can return multiple categories for .categorize 20:32

Aaronepower moritz: Now with the new ($_<foo>:exists) && ($_<foo>:exists) I get `Type check failed in binding to parameter '@correct'; expected Positional but got Any (Any)` on the assignment.
firefish5000 I could do it another way, but thought it would be a good idea to try inheriting or augmenting Int, since I have little experience doing those. I could augment Int to do what I want, but cant seem to easily duplicate the class with a different name and do the same. 21:08
moritz Aaronepower: sorry, I'm going to bed now. If you want help from others, it's always easiest if you include your current code in a nopaste (preferably in a way that doesn't require external input; just inline the data structures you are working with)
firefish5000: well, you can, you just can't assign an Int to your Int_2 variables; you have to go through the Int_2 constructor 21:09

Hey why do I get `Type check failed in binding to parameter '@correct'; expected Positional but got Any (Any)` with paste.rs/efg 21:10

Zoffix firefish5000: I wasn't following the discussion, but FWIW, the user-land-subclasses-from-core-types still needs some polish. There's a general ticket on the subject: rt.perl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id...et-history 21:23
cZBW firefish5000: clumsy, but is that what you want?
Zoffix moritz: I'm interested in it :) It makes it easy to spot when people likely adding a change they didn't spectest :P 21:24
moritz: also that space generally says "commited by SoandSo" which in that case would read "commited by Github" or something 21:25
firefish5000 cZBW, The problem here is the value doesnt actualy change at all. its basicly a class that says foo.

El_Che Zoffix: nice post
Zoffix firefish5000: just mix in a role to a normal Int, I guess. $!value is both a private attribute and of a special lower-level type. You coul do Int2.new: 42; but then it'll complain that it wants Int2 but you gave an Int, which ultimately goes back to the ticket I mentioned :) 21:28
El_Che: thanks
firefish5000 Zoffix, That could work! thanks 21:29
Zoffix & for the day
\o
El_Che o/ 21:32
(after Charlottesville it looks like a neo nazi, sadly) 21:33
firefish5000 A little more wordy than a special class, but definitly easy to implement and doesn't require augmenting. 'say $int but fmt_role; my Int $fmt_int = 4 but fmt_role ; say $fmt_int' basicly does exactly what I was aiming for, while the former would basicly be type conversion to Int2, and the latter creates an Int2 variable. I have no complaints :D 21:44
thanks again. I now see the light in roles!
BooK so I've been looking more into S06 and the code for dealing with options/long options 21:53
and it seems the complexity is there: The short -foo form never assumes a separate argument, and you must use =. For the --foo form, if there is a named parameter corresponding to the switch name, and it is of type Bool, then no argument is expected. Otherwise an argument is expected. If the parameter is of a non-slurpy array type, all subsequent words up to the next command-line switch (or the end of the list) are bound to that parameter.
because from what I understand the processing of command-line arguments happens before the call to main, so we can't look at the signature(s) to figure out the bit about the long option described above 21:56
nadim hi, nopaste.linux-dev.org/?1161185 I have a bit of a problem with this code; the ticks keep coming, if I pres q first it quits properly. if I press a it also does what it should, once, then pressing a or q does not work. I am doing something wrong? it seems to me that there is a problem with the raw-input-supply. 21:58
BooK nadim: is the 'done' in the 'a' branch meant to be there? 22:02
BooK if I understand correctly, it exits the react, but $quit is not set, so you're stuck in the loop 22:03
nadim I want to stay in the loop and the react block to be run again 22:05
BooK: salut
jdv79 .seen konobi
yoleaux I saw konobi 4 Dec 2016 00:17Z in #perl6: <konobi> your IP transit provider should be able to delegate the in.arpa zones to a nameserver of your choice if you want them to be reverse resolvable
nadim I use the react block to act on keyboard input and the loop to keep doing that till I press q 22:06
BooK ok
BooK the "when Tick" is not really needed, is it? since it does nothing 22:09
nadim it's just to see that something happens in the react, that works perfectly 22:10
BooK in fact, can't you put all the code you want to be run at the beginning of the whenever block? 22:11
so you spent all the time in the react, and only exit when q is pressed
(I speak from the point of view of someone whose only knowledge of these things comes from seeing a jnthn talk a few days ago)
so I know barely more than a teddy bear :-)
and am willing to act as such 22:12
cZBW BooK: they are on par with rubber ducks when it comes to debugging.
cZBW ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubber_duck_debugging ) 22:13
u-ou- what's a good way to insert a value into an arbitrary position in an array? e.g. [1 3] becomes [1 2 3] 22:14
BooK cZBW: I first learnt of this technique under the name "teddy bear", so I never use the "rubber duck" one :-) 22:14
MasterDuke u-ou-: splice() 22:15
cZBW glad I could expand your expertise on that :D
BooK actually, I also knew the rubber duck term, just never use it 22:16
archive.oreilly.com/pub/a/perl/exce...guide.html # this is where I learnt about the bear
u-ou- MasterDuke: can you show me an example usage?
cZBW BooK: thx :) 22:17
BooK u-ou-: docs.perl6.org/routine/splice
geekosaur actually I have one small problem with "rubber duck debugging" 22:17
BooK cZBW: different schools of debugging :-) there should probably be a religious war, and a schism
MasterDuke m: my @a = ^3; @a.splice(2, "b"); say @a
camelia Cannot resolve caller splice(Array: Int, Str); none of these signatures match:

cZBW BooK: naah :D
BooK, I really believe they are idempotent :) 22:18
MasterDuke m: my @a = ^3; @a.splice(2, 1, "b"); say @a 22:18
camelia [0 1 b]
MasterDuke m: my @a = ^3; @a.splice(2, 0, "b"); say @a
camelia [0 1 b 2]
geekosaur I first learned those were things from my little sister watching sesame street. so it's permanently linked with ernie singing in the bathtub >.>
u-ou- ahhh, thanks 22:19
I didn't think about 0 for the elms arg
cZBW geekosaur: well, and does that help?? XD
BooK cZBW: feathers and fur? inconceivable! 22:22
cZBW BooK: rubber feathers and polyester fur... same class 22:22
BooK heh
preaction one seems more comforting when things are _really_ broken though... 22:23
Aaronepower Hey why do I get `Type check failed in binding to parameter '@correct'; expected Positional but got Any (Any)` on the classify line? paste.rs/efg
geekosaur 'Gods be feathered!' >.> 22:24
BooK my bear is usually an irc channel, anyway 22:25
cZBW I can recommend using coworkers. the longer they have to walk from their desk after I ask them to look at my code / problem - the more probable it becomes that by the time they arrive I spotted my own very embarassing mistake. Must be some kind of reciprocal law. 22:28

BooK I was reading Metamodel::EnumHOW and was trying out some of the methods I found there
all because docs.perl6.org/type/Metamodel::EnumHOW gave me a 404 23:12
Aaronepower I though perl6 didn't have enums? 23:19
Geth doc/book/class-how: 0b58f3716d | (Philippe Bruhat (BooK))++ | doc/Type/Metamodel/ClassHOW.pod6
Add a missing invocant to the method definition
 23:24
doc: book++ created pull request #1483:
Add a missing invocant to the method definition
BooK m: say Order.HOW; say Order.^enum_values; 23:26
camelia Perl6::Metamodel::EnumHOW.new
{Less => -1, More => 1, Same => 0}
u-ou- my $x = 1; given $x { $x = 2 when 1; say 'hi' when 2; } 23:37
m: my $x = 1; given $x { $x = 2 when 1; say 'hi' when 2; }
camelia hi
u-ou- is this a bug?
BooK m: say Bool.enums; say Order.enums; 23:38
camelia {False => 0, True => 1}
Map.new((:Less(-1),:More(1),:Same(0)))
BooK why the difference ? 23:39
BooK m: say Order.HOW ~~ Bool.HOW 23:40
camelia False
BooK mmm
m: say Order.HOW.WHAT ~~ Bool.HOW.WHAT 23:41
camelia True
ugexe u-ou-: i would assume so since there is no continue 23:42
u-ou- ugexe: it acts differently if the whens are blocks
ugexe ah nm
u-ou- I think the behavior is supposed to do that with a proceed
m: my $x = 1; given $x { when 1 { $x = 2 }; when 2 { say 'hi' } } 23:43
camelia ( no output )
u-ou- m: my $x = 1; given $x { when 1 { $x = 2; proceed }; when 2 { say 'hi' } }
camelia hi
u-ou- no proceed in my first example and still it executes 23:44
maybe it's supposed to. just checking
ugexe m: my $x = 1; given $x -> $_ is copy { $x = 2 when 1; say "hi" when 2; } 23:45
camelia ( no output )
ugexe yeah im not sure if its a bug or not 23:47
u-ou- alright
BooK m: my $x = 1; given $x -> $_ is copy { $x = 2 andthen proceed when 1; say "hi" when 2; } 23:50
camelia proceed without when clause
in block at <tmp> line 1
in block <unit> at <tmp> line 1
BooK I still don't much it seems :-)
u-ou- lunch time :) 23:51
BooK m: say Order.HOW; say Order.^enum_values; 23:52
camelia Perl6::Metamodel::EnumHOW.new
{Less => -1, More => 1, Same => 0}
BooK I think the above is because of:
Bool.^add_method('enums', my method enums() { self.^enum_values });
method enums() { self.^enum_values.Map } # in Enumeration.pm (which is a Role) 23:53
