disbot7 <aruniecrisps> @jubilatious1_98524 haha that's easy part, but the problem is that the preceding consonant character cannot have a diacritic 00:04
<aruniecrisps> so this works தர்மம், but this should not ஹலீம் 00:05
<jubilatious1_98524> @aruniecrisps Not easy for me because my Terminal programs balk at wide-characters. What is the name of the diacritic?
<aruniecrisps> it can be one of the following: TAMIL VOWEL SIGN I, TAMIL VOWEL SIGN AA, TAMIL VOWEL SIGN II, TAMIL VOWEL SIGN U, TAMIL VOWEL SIGN UU 00:06
<jubilatious1_98524> Thx. 00:07
tbrowder tonyo: you are one of my goto raku ppl! 00:16
(except i don't like the sys default unseen letters for the passwd for the fez/zef acct) 00:18
disbot7 <jubilatious1_98524> @aruniecrisps For the preceding character my best guess is you need a "Negative lookbehind" or a "Boolean condition check". 00:30

disbot7 <jubilatious1_98524> @aruniecrisps I can't get \c[TAMIL LETTER NA] to match itself. Is it possible the text you sent has been modified? I'm trying a few tests. 03:46
<jubilatious1_98524> raku -ne 'say NFKD($_).map: *.uniname.raku for .trim.comb;' <<< $' நேரம் ' ("TAMIL LETTER NA" "TAMIL VOWEL SIGN EE") ("TAMIL LETTER RA") ("TAMIL LETTER MA" "TAMIL SIGN VIRAMA") 03:49
<jubilatious1_98524> Correction: trying to match \c[TAMIL LETTER MA] to itself, seems it is modified by \c[TAMIL SIGN VIRAMA]. 03:52

when i'm back home i'll take a look at making it pipe-able, you can probably do something with `expect` though 06:21

[Coke] This dumb script seems to be just below the level of "this might be useful in a module somewhere", but nice enough for me to keep a git-managed copy of: github.com/coke/scripts/blob/master/pf 16:32

disbot7 <aruniecrisps> @jubilatious1_98524 i kinda figured something out, but i'm not sure if there is a way to change the mark specifically, without caring what the base letter is 16:51
<aruniecrisps> so i want to change று to றி 16:52
<aruniecrisps> i don't know that .samemark fits my use case here
<aruniecrisps> because i would have to know exactly what the final base consonant is for it to work 16:53

korvo My second blog post is ready for review! It's drafted as post 4693 in WP. Please wait two hours for final feedback from my collaborator; I've given them a deadline of noon local time, and it's currently 10:14 here. 18:15
There's no need for a hero image on this one; I uploaded a game screenshot for a banner already.

<aruniecrisps> @librasteve wanted to follow up with you on the snippet you were looking for 18:28
<aruniecrisps> i don't think i have anything in particular at the moment that would be generic enough for the blog post
<aruniecrisps> if i do i'll get back to you 18:29
<librasteve> @aruniecrisps - no worries .. just a thought 18:39

disbot7 <.vushu> Hi @ab5tract now Christmas is nearing. I remember your snowflake example, which troubled you with rendering the codepoints and I fixed the issue on Raylib::Bindings. I tried to make a clean C example which works, then tried to make a raku example, and then deduced that the problem lies in the parsing. a const int * should not be Pointer[int32] but It should be CArray[int32] :cameliathink: I updated the Raylib::Bindings to 20:14
raku.land it should soon be up. Here is the code example: github.com/vushu/snowflakes-raylib-raku Merry Christmas.
