disbot <vendethiel> > Can only use the : invocant marker in the signature for a method :( 06:10
<melezhik.> Added http basic auth for git push in dsci 10:10
tbrowder fyi, my github problem with workflows and actions was cured by updating actions to v7. 11:48
Voldenet m: class C does Callable { method CALL-ME($x?) { $x // <zero> }}; say C.() 11:59
camelia zero
Voldenet that's the shortest you can get for type call, no need for (C)() 12:01
m: class C does Callable { method CALL-ME($x?) { $x // <zero> }}; sub C() { C() }; say C() # unfortunately, this doesn't work
camelia (C(Any))
Voldenet (sub is never taken ;\) 12:02
lizmat m: class A { method CALL-ME($a) { dd $a } }; A(42) # much simpler 12:03
camelia 42
lizmat must use parentheses in the call though
m: class A { method CALL-ME($a) { dd $a } }; A 42
camelia ===SORRY!=== Error while compiling <tmp>
Two terms in a row
at <tmp>:1
------> ss A { method CALL-ME($a) { dd $a } }; A<HERE> 42
expecting any of:
infix
infix stopper
statement end
statement modifier…
lizmat in other words: you don't need to do Callable (unless you want that for other reasons 12:04
and the call doesn't need the . (as in C.()), just C() will do)
Voldenet ^^ 12:16
Voldenet it's the previous problem wayland has posted 12:20
you need arguments in that case
and C() won't work, because C is a type name, so C() becomes coercion 12:21
I'm not sure if I like that syntax overall, it feels like something that could get broken by some new syntax in the future 12:25
lizmat and yet another Rakudo Weekly News hits the Net: rakudoweekly.blog/2026/08/18/2026-...-infinity/ 14:25
disbot <melezhik.> Dsci UI now has minimal user session , and git push behind by http basic auth, GitAuthUser/GitAuthPassword 14:50
<melezhik.> deadsimpleci.sparrowhub.io/doc/configuration
<melezhik.> Lizmat++ thanks for weekly and mentioning dsci 14:51
<melezhik.> Lizmat: ++ ^^
Voldenet that raptor lang looks really interesting, but then it brings a lot of perl5isms into play 16:21
lucs Um, so how do i get back on my feet with `fez`: gist.github.com/lucs/c9c09bc477719...dab9854651 19:48
tonyo it looks like you're missing a local reference to let's encrypt 20:33
likely missing ca-certificates
or whatever your system's equivalent is 20:35
Voldenet more specifically you're missing ISRG_Root_X1.pem root CA 20:56
letsencrypt.org/certs/isrgrootx1.pem.txt 20:57
disbot <antononcube> Did you manage to run raptor with a non-trivial script that uses packages? 21:07

wayland76 Voldenet: Thanks for that! The C.() syntax is tolerable for my case, I think. I'm attempting to implement Aggregate Functions (SQL-style). 00:22
disbot <melezhik.> Recently I see this weird error in Raku - dsci.sparrowhub.io/report/ui2/job.bootstrap/10 19:21
<melezhik.> const_n32 NYI 19:22
<melezhik.> Not sure what does it mean
<melezhik.> github.com/melezhik/sparky-job-api...kumod#L410 19:23
Voldenet github.com/MoarVM/MoarVM/blob/main...erp.c#L221 19:29
I'd remove precompiled modules first 19:39
disbot <melezhik.> Oh. I think that because I use Sparky Job API in this code and reinstall it at the same time ? 19:47
<melezhik.> Happens here - github.com/melezhik/dsci-runner/bl...wfile#L355 19:48
<melezhik.> That’s easy to fix . Though interesting that this happens only for some Linux distros ( mostly Ubuntu ) 19:50
Voldenet what a scary idea ;p 19:51
disbot <melezhik.> Yeah 😆 20:22
tonyo why not install the latest published release? 21:06
same w sparrow 21:07

disbot <melezhik.> gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/apor...tems/18407 07:37
<melezhik.> tonyo: yep just released this version to raku.land to install from release 07:38
<vendethiel> got of a v0 of COBOL::Data working :) 09:35
lizmat nice! 09:45
tbrowder is cobol module on github? 11:29
