disbot7 <antononcube> @liznat I am wrapping up the first version-- I will schedule it / publish it within 1 hour. 00:04
<antononcube> I will post the final version by midnight ET.
<antononcube> I.e. within 5 hours. 00:05
<aruniecrisps> lizmat: what is the general timeline for 6.e's release? 01:04
[Coke] "when it's ready" 01:12
We have a list of items that need doing, and a limited base of core developers to hack 01:13
disbot7 <aruniecrisps> gotcha so there's no tight deadline 01:22

Geth raku.org: librasteve++ created pull request #285:
Vendor the Butterfly image, Pin to Air:ver<0.0.2>
10:52
disbot7 <librasteve> NB: that's Air:ver<0.1.2> 10:58
lizmat yeah, I checked :-) 11:00

librasteve_ Umami stats for new raku.org usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/....33.32.png 11:34
Same - but daily view (showing early peak driven by HN announcement) usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/....32.49.png
lizmat: maybe some visuals for your state of the onion post 11:35
lizmat why the country is not Singapore? 11:45
perhaps better next year, so we can do comparison ? 11:47
as we don't have a comparison with the old site ?
11:49 arkiuat joined 11:54 arkiuat left
librasteve_ I don’t know if we have stats for old site - sorry 11:55
lizmat we don't afaik
librasteve_ on SG - I am sceptical that we get the reported number of visitors from there … in sample I am looking at Singapore is 1.32k, US 996, China 294, Germany 242 … it is known as wild west for site scammers 12:01
and SG is all concentrated into certain dates (seems to have subsided now) 12:03
it’s quite interesting to see that the site gets about 100 unique visitors / day on average and that about 6% go to the Install page … wonder if there’s a way to get rakubrew download stats to correlate? 12:10
and 5% to community
lizmat patrickb might be able ? 12:11

tbrowder ok, 16:38

tbrowder that last advent post by antononcube is something that would help to attract new coders--as they say 16:42
good job!!
disbot7 <antononcube> Thank you! I was considering inscribing "2026" or snowflake(s) onto the mazes but that is too much work. (Both to program and to explain.) 16:44
16:45 arkiuat left
disbot7 <antononcube> So, I opted to just generate an image of a raccoon in snow-covered maze. 16:45
tbrowder anyone know how to do that with Python? a comparison of the two methods would make a good pitch for Raku
16:46 arkiuat joined
tbrowder using more that 16:46
*than core packages 16:47
disbot7 <antononcube> Well, Python has interfaces to powerful graph librararies written in C and C++. So programming the core ideas is not that hard. What would be hard it the graph plotting and finding geometric nearest neighbors. For the latter, most likely some of the big Machine Learning (ML) libraries have to be used. 16:49
tbrowder maybe when i get the PS snow flake code public it can help-your pic is very nice as is is
disbot7 <antononcube> The problem is making a large enough maze over the vertices on which to project a word or a snowflake. 16:50
<antononcube> Even if that is done the maze itself might too hard to solve or too messy to look at.
<antononcube> Meaning, a fair amount of experimentation has to be done in order to produces good results. 16:51
<antononcube> (Which I decided, is too time consuming.)
tbrowder oh, i see, i was thinking you meant snowflakes falling...but still, mine may be useful--lizmat and librasteve and jmerelo see them on our Christmas poem 16:55
korvo tbrowder: Finding spanning trees isn't in Python's stdlib, but everything else is. Graphs are usually represented as an adjacency structure. 16:57
tbrowder only equal hexagonal pieces of filled traiangular and rectangular areas, no curved lines 16:58
16:58 arkiuat left
disbot7 <antononcube> I have plans to hook igraph (igraph.org) to Raku. That C-library has interfaces Python, R, and Wolfram Language. 16:59
<antononcube> @korvo It is not just the spanning tree finding. There are fair amount of "convinience" functions that have to be in place too. (The maze making.) 17:00
korvo antononcube: Sure, precisely reproducing that blog post with Python would be a chore. However, I don't think that that's a good comparison of languages. 17:01
disbot7 <antononcube> For example, subgraph, graph union, finding neighborhood graphs, etc.
korvo TBH if y'all were to invest into a fast Raku then you could handily beat Python just by advertising speed. CPython is notoriously slow and its maintainers aren't interested in making it structurally faster.
17:01 arkiuat joined
korvo ...To be *too* honest, I'm mostly blocked on thinking up a good name for Raku in RPython, or NQP in RPython, but I'm willing to do the JIT parts. 17:02
disbot7 <antononcube> The maze making blog post can be more or less precisely translated to Wolfram Language (WL).
<antononcube> I was planning to do that today, but I started doing some surface fitting with WL... 17:03
