soar .sort: * < * 07:50
the sorted result is by descending.
It's confusing to me...
moritz soar: note that sort usually take a three-way comparison operator like <=> or cmp 07:54
hobbs soar: sort expects a callable that acts like <=> or cmp (returning -1, 0, 1 for less/same/more)
moritz if you pass it a two-way comparison operator, it's bound to behave weirdly
hobbs I think that if you give it <, it will interpret < as "more", and >= as "same" 07:55
which will get you a backwards result and/or a broken one because you're lying and telling it "same" when actually "more" :)
soar umm.... let me think of 07:56
hobbs (I'm assuming that since it doesn't crash, it interprets True as 1, and 1 as Order::More, and False as 0, and 0 as Order::Same) 07:57
soar semantic, * < *, is not valid here 07:59
how shall we say sorting by descending 08:00
hobbs .sort: { $^b <=> $^a } would be one way 08:02
or sort then reverse (I'm not sure if the optimization that replaces that with a reverse-sense sort exists in raku) 08:03
MasterDuke soar: if it's numeric data, `-*` or `+*` 08:07
m: my @a = (^4).pick(*); say @a; say @a.sort(-*); say @a.sort(+*) 08:08
camelia [3 1 2 0]
(3 2 1 0)
(0 1 2 3)
hobbs yeah, that's reasonable :) 08:09
soar thank you guys! Now I get it.
MasterDuke also, in the `(-|+)*` case it will do a schwartzian transform for you if needed 08:14
m: my @a = ("0".."9").pick(*); say @a; my @b; my $s = now; @b = @a.sort(-*) for ^50_000; say now - $s; say @b 08:15
camelia [7 2 9 0 3 4 8 6 1 5]
1.97999607
[9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0]
MasterDuke m: my @a = ("0".."9").pick(*); say @a; my @b; my $s = now; @b = @a.sort({ $^b <=> $^a }) for ^50_000; say now - $s; say @b

xfix i'm not sure, how Schwartzian Transform is going to help with a function as simple as `-*`? 11:27
i would personally expect `{$^b <=> $^a}` to be faster
unless `<=>` is ridiculously slow 11:28
oh, right, string to integer conversion is involved 11:29
11:29 aborazmeh left
lizmat indeed :-) and by using a Schwartzian transform, that conversion would only need to be done once for each element 11:30
rather than twice for *each* comparison

ShimmerFairy there's a limit to how magical * can be.

JJMerelo Hi, [Coke] I was wondering if maybe we should automate example compilation and spell checks. Maybe with a GitHub action 17:57
Or even Azure pipelines. We just set it up for the Raku organization.
We could try and add some magic so that only changed files are checked 17:58
[Coke] I'm obviously 100% down for that, as I don't want to be the only runner of the tests. The original concern was: don't want to cause "build failures" when someone edited something via the web interface. Didn't want to make it burdensome for the casual contributor.
JJMerelo By the way, thanks a lot for doing that job 17:59
[Coke] JJMerelo: note that I'm already doing that magic myself with "util/update-and-test"
So please feel free to try to steal that.
17:59 Maylay joined
[Coke] JJMerelo++ 17:59
JJMerelo OK, I'll open an issue. I mean we have so much computing power at our disposal now, that why shouldn't we use it...
timotimo i just learned that someone in a book about design patterns also has a helpful section that shows what it looks like when you overuse a pattern 18:00
i wonder if our docs should have that kind of section sprinkled in every now and then
"this is what it looks like when you use hashes for everything" 18:02
JJMerelo timotimo in examples, we overuse the pattern of "look how this is written with this utterly useless example involving foo and bar" 18:03
timotimo yes
true 18:04
JJMerelo timotimo I'd definitely would go for that. So please open an issue, so that at least we take it into account.
timotimo i wish i had a better example to show 18:05
JJMerelo timotimo we probably need a "pattern" and "antipattern" page too, so that we can refer to it when we say something is overused.
timotimo or an actual reference
JJMerelo no problem, I get the idea
While making clear that we encourage that people write stuff however they want. 18:06
timotimo those "people" is for readers of the docs or writers of the docs or both?
JJMerelo Some patterns are going to be faster than others, or clearer than others
timotimo well, both... 18:07
18:07 wamba joined
JJMerelo At the end of the day, people are going ot start writing their stuff by copying-pasting from the docs and/or stackoverflow 18:07
timotimo give every single entry in the docs a little slider between "fast" and "clear" with a V somewhere in between
JJMerelo timotimo hey, not so fast (or clear). No new tooling, please... Reference examples should be clear. Tutorial examples whould show both 18:08
timotimo to make examples more useful, we should give every example a set of input boxes for "your own stuff here" 18:09
so if you have a list already and it's called "@myshinylist" it'll substitute that in the example!
JJMerelo timotimo er... no, please... no additional tooling. I'm extremely happy now that the site is fully static 18:11
timotimo ok, but even if it's static in can still be dynamic 18:12
microsoft has this shiny new technology called "DHTML"
JJMerelo timotimo maybe it would be possible with Rakudo.js Still, additional tooling to generate that stuff... Heavier pages...
timotimo essentially you write your code in VB and compile it to a .dll, then you put that into your html
sorry, i'm drifting off into silly-land
JJMerelo timotimo ... and we can import it into Raku using NativeCode :-) 18:13
timotimo Call*
JJMerelo timotimo that would be cool, but... I mean, there are other priorities. But you could submit that as a possible project for Season of Docs 18:14
We'll try again next year, I guess.
timotimo there's already an isue somewhere for giving every example a link to one of the many sites that you can run raku code on
18:15 Black_Ribbon joined
JJMerelo timotimo right... 18:15
timotimo at least some of them should be easily-ish feedable via an url parameter 18:16
otherwise we'll just™ ask for support to put an url into the url and the code would be pullde from that url

Hooked up two LEDs to a 3 V battery in series. The LEDs need 2 V each. Didn’t work.
18:28 sena_kun joined 18:30 Altai-man_ left
moritz fun fact: you always need a resistor in front of a LED, even if the voltage is "right" 18:32
how unintuitive
18:33 zacts_pi joined, zacts_pi left
chloekek_ That’s because LEDs have a maximum current, and batteries and wires ideally don’t. 18:40
And the maximum means exceeding it blows it up, doesn’t limit it.
xfix some LEDs have built-in resistors, but usually you need to put a resistor in
chloekek_ Whilst waiting for new components to arrive I’m writing a Haskell library for defining circuits, and it has a function that automatically computes the necessary resistor. :) 18:41
