ab5tract it took quite a lot of tweaking to get it all together 00:09
00:13 benchable6_ left, linkable6_ left, coverable6_ left, committable6_ left, bloatable6_ left, unicodable6_ left, quotable6_ left, shareable6_ left, bisectable6_ left, notable6_ left, greppable6_ left, statisfiable6 left, evalable6_ left, nativecallable6_ left, sourceable6_ left, releasable6_ left, tellable6_ left, squashable6 left, reportable6 left
ab5tract gah, just trying to generate a list of installed packages in Perl is unbelievably annoying 00:15
MasterDuke ab5tract: are you experimenting with my moarvm branch that turns cuuids into ints? 00:19
00:20 AlexDaniel joined
ab5tract MasterDuke: trying to pave the way for that by removing Inline::Perl5's dependence on random mega-ranged cuids 00:24
tellable6 2024-04-29T00:21:20Z #raku <AlexDaniel> ab5tract buildable is making builds for all branches
MasterDuke nice
AlexDaniel c: is-item-redux say 42
committable6 AlexDaniel, ¦is-item-redux: «42␤»
[Coke] I was never able to get it working on macOS!
AlexDaniel true, there needs to be a server that makes builds on macOS 00:25
MasterDuke 64-bits is obviously a *much* smaller state space for randomness, but maybe it'd be enough in practicality?
AlexDaniel if you want to run stuff natively that is
(if that note was about whateverable, haha)
[Coke] blin 00:26
ab5tract I think just exposing QAST::Block.next-cuid through an nqp op should be enough
[Coke] so yes?
AlexDaniel yeah
ab5tract but I'm trying to test that by importing every installed perl5 module through Inline::Perl5 and ... wow.. what a mess
AlexDaniel [Coke]: I mean, I have about 11629 builds for amd64, so if we want to run stuff on macos then somebody has to make some builds 00:27
[Coke]: I can store them, that's not a problem (will take less than 50GB which I now have)
ab5tract [Coke]: github.com/ab5tract/Blin and github.com/ab5tract/whateverable/ 00:28
_should_ get you there
AlexDaniel btw I joined here to announce that the old server will be shut down relatively soon. If there's anything relying on that server, then hmmmmm, brace yourself I guess?
ab5tract AlexDaniel: my use case for blin is much simpler -- testing single commits
AlexDaniel but the good news is that all whateverable bots were running on a new server for a few months, so nothing should be affected at all 00:29
but you never know :)
ab5tract AlexDaniel: the mothership setting in blin's config could use an update, assuming general access is intended 00:30
AlexDaniel and dockerizing ≈16 websites that I host was kinda fun and not fun at the same time :)
ab5tract I definitely hear that :) 00:31
AlexDaniel ab5tract: hmmm, what kind of update?
ab5tract I assume it points to the old server 00:33
but in general, Whateverable has seen major changes with no version bump
AlexDaniel It point to "whateverable.6lang.org", which points at the new server now :) 00:34
ab5tract I was stuck looking for Whateverable::Building for ages
AlexDaniel points*
ab5tract ok :)
AlexDaniel ab5tract: but feel free to bump versions and do anything else that you need? New changes to the `main` branch in whateverable repo are deployed automatically 00:36
also, I'm not monitoring this or other channels anymore, but I do follow the repo, so feel free to file tickets with any requests, I might even have time to do it O:3 00:37
pull requests are even more welcome, especially if you also take the time to press the merge button XD 00:38
ab5tract understoodl thanks

nine We have EXPORT and EXPORTHOW. I think we really just need an EXPORTPHASERS, e.g. my package EXPORTPHASERS { our sub INIT::restore-inline-perl5 { self.restore_interpreter; self.restore_modules; } }; 08:04
ab5tract Hmmm 08:13
08:19 finanalyst joined
finanalyst .tell coleman please take a look at question on #356 of Raku/doc-website. how best to make ebook available in container? 08:22
tellable6 finanalyst, I'll pass your message to coleman
08:30 MasterDuke left
ab5tract nine: that would be nice to have but I don't feel like it should be a prerequisite for migrating cuid to ints 08:34
nine I disagree. There is no reason to rush this. Everything works just fine the way it is. There is just the hope of getting some minor performance improvement out of a switch. So why not solve a long standing problem first and therefore get rid of the blocker? Why invest time and effort into replacing one hack with another? 08:36
ab5tract idk, for me it just feels a bit like "my using a hack is okay, but _your_ using a hack is definitely not" 08:47
that said, I usually come around to your way of thinking on these things, so... 08:50
nine It's less "my vs. yours" and more "way back then vs. now" 08:51
I never wanted that hack. There was just no other way to do that and I didn't have the skills to provide a proper solution. 08:52
ab5tract fair enough
lizmat yeah, knowing now after spending several months in internals, also has changed my view on many hacks / solutions of my own :-) 08:53
ab5tract I guess my biggest concern with EXPORTPHASERS is whether that means two separate front end solutions or not 09:11
09:19 [Tux] left 09:24 [Tux] joined 09:25 sena_kun left
nine Now if you want to prepend RakuAST as a blocker and shave that yak first, I'm not at all disappointed :D 09:37
10:19 finanalyst left
ab5tract Would that be an entirely separate mechanism apart from EXPORTPHASERS? 10:38

Geth nqp: ab5tract++ created pull request #821:
Draft: Add nqp::getnextcuid		 11:18
nine ab5tract: I don't understand your question 11:33
Would what be that separate mechanism? 11:34
nine might be more dense than usual since yesterday's hike was much more exhausting than planned due to half a meter of snow on the north flank 11:35
ab5tract would a RakuAST solution also use this new EXPORTPHASERS?
lizmat ab5tract: my understanding would be: yes
ab5tract because I could also imagine something where you just EVAL some ast
nine Sure. RakuAST is just one way to implement EXPORTPHASERS. Just like with EXPORTHOW 11:36
ab5tract so two frontends it is then :)
nine Yes. But neither should be particularly challenging or much work at all.

how does this code make any sense? ` method match(Any:U: |) { self.Str; nqp::getlexcaller('$/') = Nil }` 14:14
m: Any.Str.say
camelia Use of uninitialized value of type Any in string context.
Methods .^name, .raku, .gist, or .say can be used to stringify it to something meaningful.

ab5tract okay, so I'm bumping up against a Bad Thing that I did.. apparently a4c7d5d193 was merged without proper testing (I swear I thought I ran spectest!) 15:07
linkable6 (2024-04-28) github.com/rakudo/rakudo/commit/a4c7d5d193 Provide conditional exit status for USAGE
ab5tract presuming that this is a nice thing to have and that we want to keep it, what is the actual approach to adjusting the test failures (which are all, shockingly, related to expecting 0 as a status code) 15:09
I feel like I was just reading a thread about this (how to assign tests to specific versions) but I can't seem to find it at the moment 15:12
