samebchase m: (Date.new(2021,11,30) .. *).head(2)>>.&{ say "day is {$_.day}" }; 05:31
camelia day is 30
day is 1
samebchase I've been able to get this working using a topic variable, however my question is how do I create an inline lambda that takes in an arbitrary signature 05:32
meaning, if my sequence has a list of size-2 lists, I would like to do something like (SEQ-OF-SIZE-2-LISTS)>>.&{ ($a, $b) -> { say "$a, $b" }} 05:34
[(1,2), (3,4)]>>.&{ <LAMBDA-BODY> }, what's the syntax of defining lambdas that work with hyper operators with the "." method call syntax 05:36
05:40 nativecallable6 joined
samebchase m: (1 .. 2 X 3 .. 4)>>.&{ say $^a; }; 05:40
camelia 1

samebchase how do I deal with the data as pairs and not flattened
m: (1 .. 2 X 3 .. 4);
camelia WARNINGS for <tmp>:
Useless use of "X" in expression ".. 2 X 3 .." in sink context (line 1)
05:40 greppable6 joined
samebchase m: (1 .. 2 X 3 .. 4); 05:41
camelia WARNINGS for <tmp>:
Useless use of "X" in expression ".. 2 X 3 .." in sink context (line 1)
samebchase m: say (1 .. 2 X 3 .. 4);
camelia ((1 3) (1 4) (2 3) (2 4))
samebchase I want these "pairs" to be given the the lambda without flattening them, so 4 items, instead of 8 items. 05:42
05:42 statisfiable6 joined
samebchase "Whether hyperoperators descend into child lists depends on the nodality of the inner operator of a chain. For the hyper method call operator (».), the nodality of the target method is significant." from docs.raku.org/language/operators#i..._operators 05:44
how do I define an inline lambda here, which does not force the hyper operator to not descend into an inner list? 05:48
Something like: (1 .. 2 X 3 .. 4)>>.& -> ($a, $b) { say $a, $b }; where $a is 1 and $b is 3 on the first iteration 05:51
elcaro samebchase: use .map 05:56
(1 .. 2 X 3 .. 4).map(-> ($a, $b) { ... })
(1 .. 2 X 3 .. 4).map: -> ($a, $b) { ... } # Alternate syntax 05:57
samebchase elcaro: I understand `map` does that as it allows you to pass in a block. I was just wondering if there was a way to easily pass in arbitrary blocks with hyper operators. 05:59
I guess `map` is idiomatic here, and hyper operators are better off when the data is not nested. 06:00
elcaro you can't stop a hyper-operator from decending into children unless you explicitly specify the nodality, which you can really only do with a routine trait
yeah, I personally think `».&` is an anti-pattern outside of golfing 06:01
06:02 reportable6 left
elcaro m: sub f($xs) { $xs.elems }; sub g($xs) is nodal { $xs.elems }; say (1 .. 2 X 3 .. 4)».&f; say (1 .. 2 X 3 .. 4)».&g 06:03
camelia ((1 1) (1 1) (1 1) (1 1))
(2 2 2 2)
samebchase my &f = sub ($a, $b) is nodal { say $a, $b }; followed by [(1,2),(3,4),]>>.&f; , but I still get the error "Too few positionals passed; expected 2 arguments but got 1" 06:04
elcaro i don't think there's any way to say a lambda `is nodal` and even if there was, it would be noisier that just using `map`
samebchase wait, let me see what you've just typed
elcaro you sub is not receiving 2 arguments... it's receiving a list of 2 elems 06:05
samebchase Ah, my function is expecting two args,
instead I need to destructure
elcaro unless you unpack in the sub
samebchase got it!
thanks so much elcaro
elcaro yeah like sub (@ [$a, $b]) { ... }
samebchase tl;dr: Use map, and don't mess with "is nodal" 06:06
06:06 swaggboi left
samebchase Earlier, the use of ">>" as opposed to a map or a loop used to make me feel anxious, but now I think I'm overdoing hyperoperators in my quest to understand them. 06:07
elcaro yeah, plus `».` is not lazy, so it's not always ideal for that reason 06:08
I use them sparingly, usually to avoid map-inside-map, ie. I will typically prefer `*.map(*».foo)` over `*.map(*.map(*.foo))` 06:09

elcaro frost: they were asking if it was possible with a point block, ie. [(1,2),(3,4),]».&(-> ($a, $b) { ... }) 09:39
I'm not aware of a way to make pointy blocks can be made nodal 09:40
can do it with anon subs, tho
say [(1,2),(3,4)]».&(sub ([$a, $b]) is nodal { $a + $b }) 09:41
evalable6 (3 7)
09:41 rbt joined 09:42 rbt left
elcaro but with that noise, you may as well just use map 09:42
09:42 rbt joined 09:47 rbt left, rbt joined, rbt left 10:08 rbt joined
timo you can possibly use duckmap to do the hypering here 10:08
10:08 rbt left
timo since hyper, as opposed to map, will traverse the struture and give the same structure back 10:08
10:08 rbt joined, rbt left
timo Xliff: what does the choking look like? 10:08
Xliff: moarperf is supposed to be able to read moar heap snapshots version 2 as well as 3 10:09
(you get 3 if libzstd is present at moarvm Configure.pl time)
10:11 discord-raku-bot left
Xliff Ah... that might be why. 10:11
Let me recompile. 10:12
10:12 discord-raku-bot joined
timo but it still shouldn't choke :D 10:14
Xliff Malformed UTF8 @ blah.,... 10:15
Didn't have -lzstd compiled in
timo i forgot why but reently we discussed perhaps shipping libzstd with moarvm and use that if it's not available in the system 10:17

samebchase elcaro: "say [(1,2),(3,4)]».&(sub ([$a, $b]) is nodal { $a + $b })" I just wanted to know if it was possible. Glad there is way to do that, even though it is not possible with pointy blocks. 10:34
Xliff timo: You might want to make sure libzstd support is compiled into MoarVM before you compress the heap files.

frost I want to know, if a module uses NativeCall and I import it, do I have to declare `use NativeCall` when I use other native C callings? 12:23
lizmat all use statements in Raku are lexical 12:24
so yes
m: sub ok() { say "foo" }; { use Test; ok 1 }; ok
camelia ok 1 -
foo
frost ok, thanks lizmat 12:25
lizmat note the different versions of ok ^^
frost ok, i see

melezhik .tell tbrowder I am going to shut mybf.io down, after 2-3 month it seems that the site is not in use ... it was unsuccessful attempt ))) , could you please remove a link from raku.org? 15:47
tellable6 melezhik, I'll pass your message to tbrowder
melezhik ^^ SmokeMachine - looks like was the only user of the web site? 15:48
^^ tbrowder
SmokeMachine melezhik: really? sad news... :( I like that idea 15:49
tbrowder melezhik: will do, sorry, you sure you want to shut it down? if it isn't hard to maintain or cost money, i would leave it up. 15:51
rakuuns, like other ppl, have desires that change all the time, so who knows when it might take off! 15:52
melezhik SmokeMachine tbrowder sorry that I upset you , the site costs me some money - 30$ a months and I am not sure if there are any real users besides maybe SmokeMachine
tbrowder oh, i'm not upset, just sorry it didn't flourish. 15:54
melezhik my idea was to spin it off and then people would do comments, but realistically irc/reddit beat me here )))
spin off -> launch 15:55
tbrowder if the code is available maybe i can run it on one of my servers
melezhik for sure, code I can share the code ... but be aware - it is not optimal and very slow ( it needs a DB instead slow file system ) - and this is a one of the reasons it eats some resources 15:56
tbrowder and reddit is not a place i visit often. maybe make yr site just for Raku modules and projects.
melezhik but overall it's just a cro application with a state kept on the file system 15:57
so if you want to give it a try I can make a GH public and you can fork , will it work?
jast now I'm curious, what was the site about? can't access it so I assume it's already down
tbrowder pls make it public (but sanitize appropriately) 15:59
gotta get back to my advent article...back later... 16:00
melezhik tbrowder sure - do you mean to remove sensitive data ?
jast I can switch it on real quick, if you are curious ... 16:01
jast a one-line summary would do it, too :) 16:02
tbrowder yes, passwords, contact data not made public already, etc., root user info...
melezhik sure 16:03
jast I switched the site on
Altreus lizmat: there's a list in this doc that didn't seem to render correctly modules.raku.org/dist/IRC::Client:...zef:lizmat
dunno whose bug it is :)
jast ohh... yeah, that's a nice idea for sure
16:04 A26F64 left 16:05 andinus joined
melezhik tbrowder let's do this - I am going to keep the site running for a couple of weeks or so and make the site source public, so you can fork it and try to host it on your own, we can arrange other stuff - like current site data - reviews/points/etc ( not a part of the repo ) and domain name later, 16:05
qorg11 Xliff: I'm trying to use read(), but is it possible to dinamycally allocate the buffer?
melezhik will it work?
tbrowder okay, let's give it a shot! 16:06
Altreus lizmat: oh, and the links don't work, but again, not sure whose bug... 16:08
melezhik tbrowder - github.com/melezhik/mybutterflies , and ... don't please bare with me , the site code is ugly sometimes :') 16:09
Altreus ah, for the links to work the URL has to end in a / and it doesn't redirect if there isn't one
melezhik bare -> bear 16:10
jast well as they say... 1. make it work 2. make it good 3. make it fast :) 16:11
and (2) has plenty of sub-steps 16:12
most of my projects stop getting updates somewhere in the middle of the first step 16:14
16:15 rbt left
melezhik yeah, I guess the concept stage is pretty much finished , the implementation part is still in progress, from my pint of view the site lacks real users who would do comments/news/updates 16:15
jast getting users is the hardest part ;) 16:17

tbrowder but they don't help s, 19:43
Nicholas [Coke]: you mean there are time zones other than UGT? :-)
[Coke] -1 for the explicit religious message at the end.
tbrowder *small fish much... 19:44
[Coke] my RSS feed shows me the article, but if I click to go to site, I get: raku-advent.blog/2021/11/30/santa-...ing-along/ which is a 404
tbrowder [Coke] i just discovered unposting works!
[Coke] ?? Why unpost? 19:45
I assumed it was on a schedule for Dec-01?
tbrowder cause i hit the post button inadvertently
[Coke] That'd do it
tbrowder when i wasn't ready
i hate wordpress, menus are horrible and misleading, html entry is terribly non-standard... 19:47
lizmat I wrote my blog post in markdown, committed it to github, copy-pasted the HTML representation, and was done :-) 19:48
tbrowder my article is there as draft with a scheduled post i think...something jj automated i think...
lizmat my biggest beef with WP was that it didn't allow me to schedule the post to be published at midnight 19:49
0 was not acceptable as an hour indicator :-( It would revert to whatever it had before 19:50
tbrowder i did it in pod and used Pod::To::HTML and inserted it into the code editor...had to remove the head part
