nemokosch perl6.party/ 12:17
I would say it's get rid of old Zoffix links like the pest 12:18
it's time to*
lizmat many have been done, please report any links that were missed! 12:25
[Coke] there's a bunch of 'em on raku.org, some are mentioned in a ticket, but if someone wants to update all those links to the remastered ones, that'd be great. 13:40
scullucs "like the pest"? 13:45
nemokosch These links aren't just dead anymore, for all intents and purposes, they have already been hijacked 13:47
scullucs Er, not sure what you mean by "hijacked". 13:48
Oh, the links to perl6.party, I get it, sorry. 13:52

raku.org: 2colours++ created pull request #188:
Remedying perl6.party links
17:03
raku.org: 7d4bcfe30d | (Márton Polgár)++ (committed by Elizabeth Mattijsen) | source/fun/index.html
Change perl6.party link to CCR one (#1)
17:04
raku.org: d1ee76387a | (Márton Polgár)++ (committed by Elizabeth Mattijsen) | source/community/index.html
Remove the links to the test queue blog posts (#2)

The current link doesn't exist and the article aged so badly (being mostly about RT usage) that it would be hard to even fix. It's not worth linking from CCR.
scullucs Is there a method I can use to simply discard its invocant? (I have a long complicated multiline ".say" that I want to "comment out" during development.) 17:13
(temporarily replacing the 'say' with 'discard' or something would be easier than commenting out a bunch of lines) 17:14
lizmat .sink 17:15
scullucs Awright! Thanks 🙂 17:16
I'd browsed the docs for classes Mu and Any and hadn't found anything. What is the inferred type of the invocant when I use "some string".sink? 17:20
lizmat m: say 42.^find_method("sink").signatur 17:23
camelia No such method 'signatur' for invocant of type 'Method'. Did you mean
'signature'?
in block <unit> at <tmp> line 1
lizmat m: say 42.^find_method("sink").signature
camelia (Mu: *%_ --> Nil)
lizmat scullucs so it looks like Mu: 17:24
scullucs Does that mean that maybe the 'class Mu' doc page is missing mentioning that method? (it appears not to be there) 17:26
Also: thanks for the info about find_method. 17:27
lizmat sink is really an internal method 17:28
if is conceptually the method that gets called on any value in a statement if it its not returned 17:29
s/in/of/ 17:30
scullucs Ah I see, thanks
takes notes
lizmat m: 42
camelia WARNINGS for <tmp>:
Useless use of constant integer 42 in sink context (line 1)
