lizmat notable6: weekly reset 10:55
notable6 lizmat, Moved existing notes to “weekly_2026-07-27T10:55:04Z”
lizmat And another Rakudo Weekl;y hits the Net: rakudoweekly.blog/2026/07/27/2026-...thank-you/ 12:55

One nice feature that wasn’t really mentioned in the Rakudo 2026.07 announcement, were the general GDB plugin improvements for low-level (core) debugging, contributed by Timo Paulssen. Exciting stuff! 12:58
... oops
lizmat yeah, shit happens... it was a last minute addition :-)
[Coke] Reading this - it was because we didn't do a separate bump so the commit showed up in rakudo *before* I started the release.
Sorry. Was not intentional, timo. 12:59
(and I remember saying "don't do a bump or revert" because I was still thinking about it a few days pre.
timo I really should have waited until after the release to merge that. i'm not sure in retrospect why i thought it would be NBD 13:12

timo my foolishness is boundless 22:14
japhb My cat's foolishness does a lot of bounding 22:23
timo yo japhb what would you have me put into the "omniscient debugger" parts of moar rrdb? 22:28
Voldenet yay new weekly 22:33
japhb timo: Hmmm, good question. Maybe some way to track the movement of data through the moar-level pieces of Supplies and Channels? I would think each would be interesting for different reasons: Supplies turning into a tree traversal, Channels involving task switches, and both involving the scheduler. 22:37
Part of the problem is (Supplies and Channels) feeding (Supplies and Channels). 22:38
If I'm tracing something backwards I'd like to follow it backwards through a Channel or Supply to where it was created, follow back whatever middleware computation is happening, and then back into the next Channel or Supply in the link. 22:39
With the problem that it's not entirely obvious what to do about the fact that running a Supply in reverse turns a 1:N traversal into an N:1 merge. 22:40
