Voldenet well it is what it is, arm versions can be compared too 13:50
just very niche architecture still
ugexe Let me put it another way 13:58
You basically have to go out of your way to compare arm64 builds of eg rakupp but x86 versions of rakudo 13:59
Instead of both being arm64
Voldenet oh wow 14:00
ugexe I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt that it’s because their ai hasn’t tried to find the arm64 rakudo builds and not that it’s trying to pad its benchmarks
Voldenet maybe the assumption is that jitted version is faster
so emulated x86 is still faster 14:01
ugexe I doubt it
Voldenet the benchmarks are padded visibly tho - creating scripts that take 200ms to execute and comparing rakudo start time against them 14:03
disbot <antononcube> In my data science packages CSV parsing is only for the resource data (used in tests and examples.) So, in principle, I do not need a proper CSV parser. I can use ad hoc resource ingestion and processing. 15:35
ab5tract antononcube: that sounds like a plus for Raku in the "it doesn't even pay to modularize the text processing" column :) 17:37
disbot <antononcube> 💯 18:30
apogee_ntv Getting very close to Selkie 0.99, which is basically 1.0-rc1 20:16
I don't think zef has rc does it?
Just need to sweep all of the POD and docs and write a migration guide. 20:17
Still aiming for 1.0 in October, maybe early November now. 20:18
Order is docs -> 0.99 -> perf -> bugfixes (plz help by using) -> api stability gates -> site & supporting materials -> 1.0 20:27
Ariza will be my next 1.0 after Selkie. Creating fully contained AppImage-style bundle per platform for Raku apps with recipe syntax. I think improving the distribution story to non-devs is a must. 21:05

disbot <melezhik.> Install is ok for app ariza on rakupp 08:25
<melezhik.> dsci.sparrowhub.io:8080/report/ui/dsci/686dd3d
<melezhik.> Though Crane dependency test fails - dsci.sparrowhub.io:8080/report/ui/dsci/5cace0e 08:29
apogee_ntv App::Ariza is very tightly coupled to GitHub actions workflows right now. 10:37
tbrowder hi, i have a mod in work on github where you can click on a link in the README and see an example of viewing 4 different pdfs (still polishing) but it is very cool. see <github.com/tbrowder/App-FontSample> 11:34
disbot <melezhik.> Now I’m trying Qwen to generate dsci pipeline for Raku project - chat.qwen.ai/s/t_95583047-b2f3-4b6...3a8752cbf4 , I wound say it’s pretty accurate 13:43
<melezhik.> Only minor issues
<melezhik.> apogee_ntv: I see that 16:01

[Coke] anyone know why this syntax is wrong? (thought I had read the docs correctly) github.com/raku-community-modules/...0/workflow 20:36
.seen azawawi 21:51
tellable6 [Coke], I saw azawawi 2022-09-30T14:28:33Z in #raku: <azawawi> Documentation, tutorials and support for raylib and a gui toolkit outside of the box
ugexe might have to be if: ${{ always() }} 22:20
just guessing though based on docs.github.com/en/actions/referen...-of-always

[Coke] ugexe: first pass done, doing "redo" now 12:24
github.com/coke/raku-blin-release-results is currently showing the redo run - 7 failures 12:41
(one of which is the ongoing needle issu)
wrong window 14:03
taking a python online course for continuing education credits for work. "the name is based on... Monty Python's Fly Circus". (sigh) 17:31
Voldenet (it's true though) 21:00
[Coke] ... that's not the name of the show. 21:12
I was complaining about the typo on the presentation, not the anecdote itself. :) 21:14
disbot <antononcube> Python-Shmython. 21:26
Voldenet ah :P 21:29
japhb I mean, I like Monty Python, but I don't think I would describe any of them as "fly". 22:13

disbot <melezhik.> Morning. If someone wish to check out dsci please let me know. Extremely fast and lightweight git server and cicd. Fast ci engine on Rakupp. Ability to port existing remote git repos . CI SDK supports many languages including Raku. CI jobs run on podman / docker or localhost . Authentication in git push over https 06:21
<melezhik.> Current demo stand dsci.sparrowhub.io:8080/ runs on Rakupp , I need to tweak official documentation to reflect Rakupp migration changes ( not a lot though ) 06:24
