01:07:30alystairhector my concern was debuggability if/when a compiled NIM project breaks in some way within the browser, looking at the compiled output it seems overly complex and not easy to follow
01:10:08alystairI'll eventually join Discord instead... proxy chat feels odd to me :)

01:58:06FromDiscord<John Novak> hi there, it seems to me that the 1.6.8 win32 distribution package is broken somehow
01:58:09FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Oh hey it's john novak
01:58:23FromDiscord<John Novak> just trying to compile a simple hello world app fails on 1.6.8 / 32-bit on windows
01:58:29FromDiscord<John Novak> while it works fine with 1.6.6

01:58:56FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> What about 1.6.10?
01:58:58FromDiscord<John Novak> i'm using the same mingw32 compiler in both cases
01:59:15FromDiscord<John Novak> haven't tried 1.6.10
01:59:29FromDiscord<John Novak> tbh i'm fine with 1.6.6 for now, don't wanna waste time investigating this
01:59:32FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> The release candidate forum post has an issue that might be related iirc
01:59:33FromDiscord<John Novak> just wanted to flag it for you guys
02:00:08FromDiscord<John Novak> not many people might be using the 32-bit win version, so i thought i'd let you know. i'm personally fine with 1.6.6 for now, i don't need anything from 1.6.8 or later
02:00:29FromDiscord<John Novak> anyway, now you know 😄 lunchtime 😄
02:00:49FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Well a bug report i think exists and this isnt #internals
02:09:17FromDiscord<Bung> there's one already https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/issues/19957
02:09:49FromDiscord<Bung> I almost viewed all issues.
02:21:34FromDiscord<ringabout> In reply to @John Novak "not many people might": Using `_setjmp` on Windows becomes default since 1.6.8 => https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/pull/20758
02:34:35FromDiscord<banan|crab> whats the nim analagous of pythons os.rename in nim

03:22:44FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Yes `var T` is `T`
03:23:23FromDiscord<sOkam!> oh, so passing ptr and var is the same?
03:23:36FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Well `var T` is safer but yes

04:39:34FromDiscord<fancy plants> If you want to manually alloc/dealloc a Nim object separate from ref counting, how would one do so? Maybe like an arena for allocating multiple objects, computing something, and then deallocing at the end?
04:40:28FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Manual memory management is done with `alloc` and `create`
04:43:49FromDiscord<fancy plants> Would the performance difference be negligible compared to the earlier refcount example alloc/dealloc we talked about earlier?
04:44:22FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Correct non cyclical types have no overhead compared to manual

07:09:27FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Of course

07:52:38FromDiscord<Phil> heresy
07:53:05FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Yea it's wild, some people want a ball ache to change language versions it seems
07:56:00FromDiscord<Phil> that reminds me I need to update my devel version since IIRC ringabout said the datetime thing is fixed
07:58:17FromDiscord<Phil> > (base) ~/dev/playground % choosenim update devel↵> could not import: SSL_get_peer_certificate↵Erm... any ideas on what this is?
07:59:32FromDiscord<ringabout> It is not fully fixed for `distinct` though. The VM seems to screw up the types, which cannot be sem checked again.
07:59:44FromDiscord<Phil> Ah, shoot
08:00:26FromDiscord<ringabout> In reply to @Isofruit "> (base) ~/dev/playground %": I'm experienced with that, when `choosenim` doesn't work, I'm trying over and over again.
08:00:46FromDiscord<Phil> In reply to @flywind "I'm experienced with that,": Ah, basically just repeat the command until it gives up?
08:01:16FromDiscord<ringabout> Yeah, sometimes it is caused by internet.
08:02:14FromDiscord<ringabout> sent a code paste, see https://play.nim-lang.org/#ix=4f03
08:04:22FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> I dont think that binary operators are documented in the manual like that
08:04:37FromDiscord<nocturn9x> I found what caused my bug
08:04:49FromDiscord<nocturn9x> I was never setting the `kind` discriminant of my object variant
08:04:59FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> What code?
08:05:08FromDiscord<nocturn9x> it was just out of luck that the right enum value was the first one, so as lon as memory was zeroed it would work
08:05:08FromDiscord<Phil> In reply to @flywind "I'm experienced with that,": Wait, so immediately try over and over or try every 10 minutes?
08:05:11FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Whoops i misread so i guess disregard
08:05:22FromDiscord<nocturn9x> I had to use an ugly template but now it works

08:05:43FromDiscord<nocturn9x> sent a code paste, see https://play.nim-lang.org/#ix=4f04
08:06:48FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Is that better than just `uncheckedAssign`?
08:06:55FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> https://nim-lang.org/docs/manual.html#types-cast-uncheckedassign
08:06:59FromDiscord<nocturn9x> I don't know, haven't tried
08:07:02FromDiscord<ringabout> In reply to @Isofruit "Wait, so immediately try": I will give up, download nightlies and finally drag the executables to the `.choosenim/toolchains` directory.
08:07:13FromDiscord<nocturn9x> does uncheckedAssign not raise `FieldDefect`
08:07:21FromDiscord<nocturn9x> when setting the discriminant of an object variant
08:07:34FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Exactly it's point
08:07:35FromDiscord<ringabout> In reply to @flywind "I will give up,": It is probably something wrong with choosenim.
08:07:40FromDiscord<nocturn9x> lemme see
08:08:30FromDiscord<ringabout> ARC doesn't check them though.

08:24:59FromDiscord<nocturn9x> In reply to @Elegantbeef "I do have to": uhm
08:25:05FromDiscord<nocturn9x> because I'm running my own VM
08:25:07FromDiscord<nocturn9x> with its own GC
08:25:14FromDiscord<nocturn9x> using nim's memory management would be no fun :)
08:25:35FromDiscord<nocturn9x> some of internal VM structures as well as the lexer, parser and compiler will keep using it
08:25:43FromDiscord<nocturn9x> but the core of the language will be GC'ed by me
08:25:53FromDiscord<nocturn9x> (edit) "some of ... internal" added "the"
08:25:56FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> I mean `ref string` and `GcRef` and `GcUnRef` is the same as `alloc`/`free`
08:26:12FromDiscord<nocturn9x> yes but where's the fun if you don't get at least one segfault
08:26:22FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Ok
08:26:25FromDiscord<nocturn9x> jk ofc
08:26:32FromDiscord<nocturn9x> I just want to write a GC
08:26:34FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Was just asking cause it was odd, to me. Carry on
08:26:37FromDiscord<nocturn9x> it's fun and a learning experience
08:26:45FromDiscord<nocturn9x> I mean
08:26:46FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> I mean you still can write a GC using Nim's string 😄
08:26:50FromDiscord<nocturn9x> I already _have_ a GC
08:26:53FromDiscord<nocturn9x> In reply to @Elegantbeef "I mean you still": fair
08:27:02FromDiscord<nocturn9x> but I wanna be a lil more independent
08:27:04FromDiscord<nocturn9x> just cause
08:27:11FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> It's the same thing it's just using a different allocation method that lets you more easily get operations you might want
08:27:15FromDiscord<nocturn9x> this code can be ported to C fairly easily
08:27:24FromDiscord<nocturn9x> ref strings? not so much
08:27:30FromDiscord<nocturn9x> In reply to @Elegantbeef "It's the same thing": like?
08:27:50FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> The entirety of `strutils` `parseUtils` and so forth
08:28:07FromDiscord<nocturn9x> I mean fair
08:28:13FromDiscord<nocturn9x> but I'll reimplement those anyway
08:28:35FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Sure but the point is it's much easier to just directly call the operations you're going to reimplement 😄
08:28:47FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> So like i said disregard me
08:29:27FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> If i had it my way the entire stdlib would use `openArray[char]` but araq said no
08:29:40FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> So i might make copies of the stdlib modules now that do that
08:30:03FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> \Atleast with 2.0 we get `parseutils` and `unicode` to work with `openArray[char]`
08:30:11FromDiscord<nocturn9x> nice
08:30:13FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Finally get some reusable code in the stdlib
08:30:22FromDiscord<nocturn9x> lul
08:34:26FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> As an aside is Peon a Warcraft reference?

16:16:32FromDiscord<Require Support> if i have a seq of object and I would like to find the object based on its id attribute and delete it from the seq, whats the best way to do this

16:43:29FromDiscord<Require Support> `Error: 'myTypeRef' is of type <var myTypeRef> which cannot be captured as it would violate memory safety, using '-d:nimNoLentIterators' helps in some cases` try to pass my object into a proc with `var` so i can add to a sequence in one of the attributes. Ex: `myTypeRef.myAttribute.add("hi")` but getting this error. Object type is declared as `ref object`
16:52:53FromDiscord<auxym> In reply to @Require Support "if i have a": you could use `filter` or `keepIf` from sequtils but it will iterate the full list. If you know you're removing only 1 item at most, you might want to do it manually. iterate over the seq, stop when you find the id, then call `delete` with the index.
16:53:28FromDiscord<auxym> Though if you're doing a lot of that, might want to consider using a `Table` or `OrderedTable`, both the search and the removal will be faster.
17:02:56FromDiscord<Require Support> In reply to @auxym "you could use `filter`": yep this is what I did eventually, just thought there might be a better way of doing it

19:16:24FromDiscord<Horizon [She/Her]> In Nim am i able to declare a proc within another proc, that returns another proc using something from the first method?
19:16:48FromDiscord<Horizon [She/Her]> And I don't think i can structure it differently, i already need to use 2 procs due to wasm3 bindings
19:19:24FromDiscord<Phil> In reply to @Event Horizon "In Nim am i": So like... how many levels of procs?
19:19:29FromDiscord<Phil> 3?
19:20:15FromDiscord<Phil> Anyway, feels like it should be possible, given from what I experimented with of procs generating procs with other procs

19:22:15FromDiscord<Phil> I'd honestly put the proc definitions on the same level and then only stack their usages inside one another

23:15:29FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Dont a lot of those utilities just read files directly?
23:16:10FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Using shell programs is best to be avoided when writing Nim, you generally use either the files directly or linux exposed APIs
