| so, role that does set thing in an array is a lot slower | 14:35 | ||
| I was inspired to look at performance of various things because of github.com/rakudo/rakudo/issues/6056 | 14:36 | ||
| timo | does attempting to set a value outside of the cap generate a Failure object? | ||
| oh those aren't shaped arrays | 14:37 | ||
| the cap is just how many the array is initialized with on creation? | 14:38 | ||
| oh, the index is the first arg not the second | |||
| Voldenet | yeah, it's constant | 14:39 | |
| I've ditched shaped arrays in this specific test, because I've seen they're 2 or 3 times slower and it's noise – I'm kinda interested about `role` vs `class` only now | 14:41 | ||
| I'm fairly sure that they could be optimizable | 14:42 | ||
| timo | right, you'll want to look at the spesh log for these variants now. maybe start with -MSIL to get a summary of inline success/failures to make sure the things that get inlined are getting inlined | 14:44 | |
| ingy | downloading rakudo.org/dl/rakudo/rakudo-moar-2...gcc.tar.gz from my home and GHA is very slow... | 22:18 | |

| andinus | ingy: which country are you downloading from? i tested it with gha, seems to be quick - under 5s, can you try again? | 09:19 | |
| ingy | it was from toronto | 12:39 | |
| seems ok now | 12:40 | ||

| .landyacht. | what's the nicest way to check for element-wise equality on two objects which may be blobs or bufs? eqv seems to care that the type match, unfortunately | 00:54 | |
| blob eqv blob works, buf eqv buf works, but I want something that also works for buf eqv blob and vice versa | |||
| well, "works for buf <something> blob" I should say | 00:55 | ||
| .List on both operands does work but feels a bit awkward | 00:56 | ||

| SmokeMachine | Hi! I’m sorry, I know those are not Raku related, but I thought any of these could be interesting to someone here: | 10:42 | |
| aybee.org | |||
| legacy-relay.com | |||
| smokehelper.com | |||
| Voldenet | aybee site looks very ai-generated | 11:29 | |
| El_Che | sorry for lateness in package, I was/am ill | 12:09 | |
| trying to push it today | |||
| librasteve | :-( get well soon | 12:11 | |
| El_Che | yeah, still whole the week at home, but the worst - non functioning part - is over | 12:25 | |
| timo | best of luck El_Che! | 12:42 | |
| [Coke] | El_Che: hope you feel better soon! | 14:18 | |
| SmokeMachine | Voldenet: it is… :( I’m not good at Frontend… | 15:54 | |
| I’m going to start using ai on day job, so I decided to try to learn how to use it… | 15:56 | ||
| Voldenet | meh, it needs some tips to make it look more organic, I've been doing similar things but I try to avoid definitely-ai look | 15:59 | |
| the easiest way is to use ui framework | 16:00 | ||
| bootstrap or something similar | |||
| then it just looks like framework, not ai-generated frontend (which is an improvement) | |||
| ugexe | the thing to be aware of is if you are not good at e.g. UI then you shouldn't be tricked into thinking you can recognize when has AI generated good UI. this means if you are learning AI trying to tackle UI stuff might not be teaching you how to be more effective | 17:53 | |
| Voldenet | well yeah, ideally you'd know some frontend | 19:32 | |
| to see if the code is ok | |||
| but primary rule is to never let ai write frontend with no frameworks (css or js), because it's never maintainable | 19:33 | ||
| and also looks almost the same for some reason | |||

| librasteve | I have used claude to good effect with Air … that’s a framework of sorts … right now it is focused on Pico CSS so you have to like that UI (i choose to use Pico since I am not good at UI too) … soon I will add (custom) Themes | 03:16 | |
| sp1983 | Voldenet: I've added new checks request by you - gist.github.com/melezhik/9aff096ff...a341cd0d5b | 09:37 | |
| El_Che | everyhting is built, but cloudsmith need to create a few repo's | 10:14 | |
| normally it's done fast | 10:15 | ||
