antononcube I did not expect my "WWW::WolframAlpha" post to be that popular. It seems @lizmat has to be credited for that too, for mentioning it in the weekly. 14:03
lizmat nice :-)
in other news: I've just uploaded a new version of App::Rak with PDF support 14:04
librasteve++ for the underlying logic
antononcube @lizmat Google's Gemini's latest model can take input with 1 million tokens (≈2.5 million characters.) This means, all of the documentation "App::Rak" and its code can be uploaded to Gemini, and get very plausible, working -- or almost working -- "App::Rak" CLI code from natural language specifications. 14:08
lizmat if the documentation is sufficient and correct of course :-)
looking forward to your findings! 14:09
antononcube Right -- that is why I said to upload the code itself too.
This is, of course, both less effort and more expensive approach than the one I presented 7 months ago. But it has to be tried out. 14:11
Is it a good idea rename the package "Lingua::Translation::DeepL" into "WWW::DeepL" ? If yest, is there are "standard" procedure for renaming an existing package in Zef ecosystem. 14:13
lizmat there is no procedure really 14:14
upload the renamed module
upload a release of the old name with just a single dependency on the new name to remain compatible
antononcube Ok, seems simple enough. And, does this mean that you think "WWW::DeepL" is a better name? (Maybe you -- and others -- do not care, you are just giving an advice.) 14:16
lizmat I was just giving advice: naming is hard! 14:17
PSA: App::Rak users, a new release of App::Rak and App::Rak::Complete now in the ecosystem
librasteve you can never, ever remove anything from the zef ecosystem (after the first 24 hours cooling off period) - I recommend you just stay with the old name even if its a bit out of date 14:18
antononcube @librasteve Thanks -- that seems the best decision! (Easiest too -- do nothing.) 14:31
librasteve lazyness is a virtue
note to self... 14:50
m: say Hash.new: 1,2,3,4
Raku eval {1 => 2, 3 => 4}
evalable6 {1 => 2, 3 => 4}
librasteve ^ I had forgotten just how easy it is to mak ea Hash (or Map)
lizmat: tx also for pointing out the split limit value 14:56

coleman Quick announcement. Richard has made an EBook version of the documentation available for download. 17:37
Please test
Go to docs.raku.org and click "More"
lizmat I don't see a "More" ? 17:43
coleman top navigation bar should have it 17:44
lizmat aaah... ok 17:45

holmdunc Failed to import the ePub into Apple Books.app. Oh well, that disclaimer about compliance maybe applies 18:42
librasteve ditto 18:43
18:43 swaggboi joined
how about a pdf? 18:48
^^ this is a bit snarky - sorry - actually I have many times longed for the rakudoc when offline (longhaul flight) to the extent that I have resorted to cloning the repo before I travel 18:49
holmdunc I used to use Calibre's ebook-convert CLI command to turn the Swift language epub into a PDF. Worked well 18:51
tbrowder but pdf would be handy, esp for kindle readers
does caliber xform epub? 18:52
holmdunc The application itself probably can too. I've hardly ever used it 18:55
[Coke] now that we have -an- ebook, adding support for v2 or a pdf should be doable. it also needs some editing. 19:14
antononcube I think it should be in Markdown. 19:17
lizmat I guess raku.land/cpan:SOFTMOTH/Pod::To::Markdown needs some TLC 19:18
coleman Yes and the ebook is clearly noted as experimental you hungry wolves :) 19:23
[Coke] ^_^ 19:42

Voldenet very nice book, when I'm trying to read code in calibre, the code is on white background while the book is on black 20:48
example i.imgur.com/hGMbXaM.png 20:49
I do wonder if syntax hl is going to be useful on ebook readers, some books ditch syntax colors entirely 20:54
21:01 guifa_ joined
Voldenet though in some books syntax coloring messes up any schemes in calibre 21:03
i.imgur.com/heNWA9V.png (example from github.com/dotnet-architecture/eBo...-v1.1.epub ) 21:05
imo "no colors" would be better, on black and white reader it's going to look even worse 21:06
on low-res kindle colored code is difficult to read 21:12

ab5tract It seems a bit weird that ebook readers can’t gracefully degrade the experience.. though not entirely surprising 23:04
23:37 jpn joined, Manifest0 left 23:42 jpn left
Voldenet they only degrade the experience of books that were meant for computer screen, mangas and normal books look better 23:55
