su.shi is there a way to stream a file handle with a Channel rather than a supply? 00:27
i suppose i can funnel the Supply into a channel 00:30
is there a way for me to manually discard data I'm no longer using from a handle? I'm streaming a very large file, but even when I'm done with part of it, raku keeps it in memory 00:38
oh duh, it's cause im printing stuff to console :) 00:41
defaultxr hi. is it just me or is the documentation for \ not working? i get a 404 when i try to access docs.raku.org/syntax/%5C 01:22
nemokosch are you sure that's a good URL? unfortunately, archive.org also has nothing for it 01:29
defaultxr it is the page that is linked when i enter \ into the docs.raku.org search bar and press enter 01:29
so i assume it is supposed to be the correct link
nemokosch I'd open an issue on the doc site 01:30
github.com/Raku/doc-website/issues 01:31
I found similar funny links to . in the search 01:32
defaultxr thanks, i wasn't sure if this was the right place to report. i'll open an issue there.
jjatria Browsing the documentation I stumbled across 'will', which I didn't know. But I cannot find it in the docs. Can someone point me to where that is documented? 11:02
m: my $x will leave { say "left" } = "foo"; say $x
camelia foo
left
nemokosch how did you come across will in the documentation if it's not documented? 😄 11:04
jjatria lol 11:17
It was in one of the exmpales
docs.raku.org/type/IO/Handle#Examples 11:18
Ah, I found it. It's mentioned in docs.raku.org/language/phasers 11:20
nemokosch this is not easy to find... 11:21
jjatria > Some of these phasers also have corresponding traits that can be set on variables; they use will followed by the name of the phaser in lowercase. 11:22
The "some of the phasers" bit I guess could be more specific 11:23
librasteve ^^ maybe we should request that both 'will' and the set of relevant lowercase phasers be added to the raku doc search index and pretty much all ppoint to the "Some of these phasers" section? 11:39
amano Why can I not close a supply tap in a whenever block? 12:35
When I do that, I get "Can only cancel an AsyncTask handle".
What is AsyncTask?
nemokosch I think you'll need a concentrated effort with people who actually know things like this... 12:37
melezhik o/ 12:37
nemokosch you might even visit #moarvm
simply because the chances of finding somebody who is knowledgeable with this stuff is higher probably 12:38
melezhik if someone is willing to share some spare resources (VMs) / and / or  donate to sparrow ci , please let me know, I anticipate cutting my budget a bit, which might affect ci.sparrowhub.io hosting, but I would not like to shut the service down ,  🤔 12:39
amano Okay 12:40
melezhik right now this is 32 GB memory VM, which might be a bit smaller if we talk about running ci.sparrowhub.io only
nemokosch amano: the "last resort" kind of thing is to ask on StackOverflow, even Jonathan Worthington shows up relatively often; possibly more often than on IRC 12:44
amano ok 12:45
amano stackoverflow.com/q/76969757/22441344 13:27
Why can I not migrate a supply in a whenever block of a unix socket?
librasteve I agree and use SO when I have a longer question- it is great for having a more Q&A oriented format than a chat room and we are making tracks to help others when they hit the same issue 15:19
github.com/Raku/doc/issues/4348 15:23
^^ I made a raku doc issue for the 'will' operator 15:24
[Coke] (sparrowhub) reach out to #raku-infra, maybe 15:38
librasteve, thanks.
