00:08:21FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Lol they finally left
00:08:43FromDiscord<RattleyCooper> What is `internal error: inconsistent environment type`?
00:08:49FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> "My life has been fulfilled being a scummy spammer, I must go my people need me"
00:08:51FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> A compiler bug
00:08:57FromDiscord<RattleyCooper> oof
00:09:13FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Seems like a closure issue, what's the code you've got
00:09:25FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Can always use a debug compiler to see the real cause
00:10:00FromDiscord<RattleyCooper> I'm using wNim/wAuto and trying to iterate over all the window handles
00:10:53FromDiscord<RattleyCooper> The error comes from the `wAuto`'s `window.nim` . I'll make an issue in the repo but not sure what else to do. Maybe I need to update my nim
00:10:54FromDiscord<Rika> Anything with internal error is essentially a compiler issue
00:11:04FromDiscord<Rika> I’m not really aware of any case where it isn’t xd
00:11:50FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> It always is either a case of 'Compiler doesnt support valid code' or 'Compiler accepts invalid code'
00:13:37FromDiscord<RattleyCooper> I think it's because I'm using `wNim` and `wAuto` together
00:13:56FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Using libraries together shouldnt cause an isssue
00:15:07FromDiscord<RattleyCooper> Well using the `allWindows` iterator within a `Button` callback will cause a compiler error
00:15:30FromDiscord<RattleyCooper> If I don't use the iterator my callback works fine and if I compile my iterator code separately it works just fine
00:16:07FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> What is the type of the Button callback?
00:16:44FromDiscord<RattleyCooper> `wEvent_Button`
00:16:54FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> No what's the real type
00:17:50FromDiscord<RattleyCooper> `wButton`?
00:18:20FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> It's likely a type alias to a procedure
00:20:39FromDiscord<RattleyCooper> Like the type definition of the callback?
00:20:48FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Yes
00:22:53FromDiscord<RattleyCooper> Oh it's just a `proc ()` or `proc (event: wEvent)`
00:23:02FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Ok so it's a closure
00:23:35FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Does it automatically wrap teh `proc()` with `proc(event: wEvent)`?
00:24:35FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> I just assume there is some funky closure thing going on
00:25:23FromDiscord<RattleyCooper> I'm trying to find the code. I had it pulled up last night but now i'm having trouble finding the definition in wNim
00:26:47FromDiscord<RattleyCooper> I'm using the `proc(event: wEvent)` version so i'll try the other? Idk. I can always just make the `wAuto` part a separate process with command line arguments. I just need to send keys to a window
00:27:16FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Yea i'm just curious how they handle the fact it can be either
00:27:34FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> If they wrap it ina closure that does `proc(_: wEvent) = myProc()` or what
00:29:41FromDiscord<RattleyCooper> https://github.com/khchen/wNim/blob/320b0a0282f4b7e77df17d5066896983c27e35f5/wNim/private/wTypes.nim#L141
00:30:58FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Ok so it's just `poc(event: wEvent)`
00:31:12FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> So then how do you declare yours?
00:31:20FromDiscord<RattleyCooper> There is another one you can use defined right under it. They both work
00:31:56FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> I wonder if that's the problem then
00:32:16FromDiscord<RattleyCooper> It's just a matter of using the iterator from `wAuto` within the closure. It's odd because some other things from wAuto work within the closure
00:34:29FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Yea i'm just trying to figure out what causes it
00:34:42FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Dont really see anything that'd cause it
00:39:47FromDiscord<RattleyCooper> Well that's no fun lol
00:42:19FromDiscord<RattleyCooper> What is the easiest way for communicating between processes in nim?
00:44:19FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Sockets are easy
00:44:27FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Stdin/stdout is easy
00:48:45FromDiscord<RattleyCooper> Yeah imma just use nettyrpc xD

03:01:16FromDiscord<RattleyCooper> How do I make something distinct if it expects it to be distinct? `Window = distinct HWND` but when I try to assign a `HWND` it tells me it should be distinct
03:01:46FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> `Window(myHwnd)` though generally there exist procedures for htis
03:02:04FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> The entire point of distinct is that the value should be a known type of value
03:02:40FromDiscord<RattleyCooper> It is, it's an int
03:02:53FromDiscord<RattleyCooper> int->HANDLE->HWND->Window
03:03:35FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> So then get converting
03:06:06FromDiscord<RattleyCooper> I'm either missing something or the `Window` procedure from wNim is interfering
03:06:36FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> You may have to d o`winim.Window(myHwnd)` then
03:08:19FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Without the compiler error i cannot say much

15:37:12FromDiscord<gibson> @mratsim That doesn't solve the problem? Nim places the typedef for the wrapped `Vector::Iterator` BEFORE any other code in the cpp. It's quite annoying because that's what is causing the problem. `codereordering` does nothing for this, either.

16:10:20FromDiscord<Horizon [She/Her]> How do i delete the last item in a Nim sequence?
16:11:34FromDiscord<gibson> @Horizon [She/Her] `del` or `delete` or `pop` I think?
16:11:46FromDiscord<gibson> maybe you also want to import `sequtils`
16:11:53FromDiscord<Horizon [She/Her]> In reply to @Event Horizon "How do i delete": ...i'm dumb, i realised i could do `seq.len-1`
16:12:23FromDiscord<Horizon [She/Her]> I was talking about how to specifically delete the last value, since i found out that `myseq.delete(^1)` doesn't work
16:12:25FromDiscord<gibson> Oh reverse indexing in python `[-1]` in nim `[^1]`
16:12:49FromDiscord<Horizon [She/Her]> Imo, it should be allowed since you can do `myseq[^1]`
16:12:57FromDiscord<gibson> Yeah, sounds like an oversight.
16:13:01FromDiscord<Horizon [She/Her]> Yeah Nim doesn't support deleting a value with a backwards index
16:13:41FromDiscord<gibson> I wish the Nim foundation (wait, was that ever made?) could hire someone to just go through and smooth out the std lib.
16:14:27FromDiscord<Horizon [She/Her]> Nimskull exists, they're a fork of Nim that has the goal of making Nim in general, more consistent
16:14:54FromDiscord<Horizon [She/Her]> In reply to @Event Horizon "Imo, it should be": I should also make an issue on GitHub for it, I'll do it in a bit
16:14:58FromDiscord<huantian> In reply to @Event Horizon "I was talking about": Should be easy to make yourself
16:15:02FromDiscord<huantian> Just make an overload
16:15:15FromDiscord<Horizon [She/Her]> Yeah, just thought it was odd, it should be included by default really

16:17:27FromDiscord<dom96> Setting up a foundation outside the US is tricky sadly
16:19:07FromDiscord<Horizon [She/Her]> In reply to @gibson "I bet you could": Probably haha
16:19:55FromDiscord<gibson> Oh, I'd forgotten "outside the US" was a requirement. Why was that?
16:20:15FromDiscord<gibson> (edit) "was" => "ius"
16:20:19FromDiscord<gibson> (edit) "ius" => "is"
16:20:26FromDiscord<dom96> I don't think it is a requirement, it's just that "foundations" aren't really a thing in the EU
16:20:34FromDiscord<dom96> charities are I guess the closest thing
16:20:59FromDiscord<dom96> and they don't have the same advantages as US Foundations IIRC
16:21:10FromDiscord<dom96> there is a thread on the forum about it somewhere
16:21:55FromDiscord<gibson> What I'm hearing is that maybe we don't have enough of a senior admin footprint in the US to be able to make this happen? Because someone needs to actually live in the US to make a foundation - is my guess.
16:21:58FromDiscord<Phil> I kinda wish I could have a seq of types
16:22:14FromDiscord<gibson> @Phil other than the any type?
16:22:22FromDiscord<dom96> In reply to @gibson "What I'm hearing is": yeah, I'd say so
16:22:55FromDiscord<Phil> In reply to @gibson "<@180601887916163073> other than the": Yeah, I'd love for the user to be able to go "here is 20 different norm models" and I generate them craptons of code that create webserver routes to administrate these mdoels
16:23:08FromDiscord<Phil> Sadly I can only do "call this proc 20 times, each time with a different model"
16:23:52FromDiscord<gibson> @Phil yeah, best you can do is use OOP - that's actually one of the few cases where OOP rocks.
16:24:20FromDiscord<gibson> (or a giant variant???)
16:24:49FromDiscord<Phil> I'm writing a lib, object variants aren't an option that is intuitive I don't think
16:25:08FromDiscord<Phil> I'd rather let the user call a proc 20 times than force them to write me an object variant
16:25:19FromDiscord<Phil> Which will have double the loc
16:26:04FromDiscord<Horizon [She/Her]> Is there a way to have a sequence type that automatically creates X values as it's accessed? And if it goes beyond a limit, give an error? Don't wanna make a constructor for my type if avoidable
16:26:12FromDiscord<Horizon [She/Her]> In reply to @Isofruit "I'm writing a lib,": Can't macros do the job?
16:26:20FromDiscord<Horizon [She/Her]> That's probably overkill tho
16:26:39FromDiscord<Phil> In reply to @Event Horizon "Can't macros do the": They might, but I am but an idiot
16:27:00FromDiscord<Horizon [She/Her]> Can't you make a generic varargs param or something? Or use the `any` type and check if it's a valid type?
16:27:09FromDiscord<Horizon [She/Her]> (That your program accepts)
16:27:51FromDiscord<gibson> @dom96 that's unfortunate. Well, I'm trying my best to spread the word of Nim here in the US every time someone excitedly starts talking about Carbon, Val, CPP2, etc. where I work 🙂
16:29:27FromDiscord<Horizon [She/Her]> Val?
16:30:50FromDiscord<gibson> @Horizon [She/Her] yeah you can look it up. But the really neat one is CPP2 by Herb Sutter. Spoiler, it's very much like Nim.

17:21:18FromDiscord<gibson> In short you need to cast your `ptr cell` (or whatever it is) to `ptr int` instead, then it would have an address you can pass. Instead, when you cast to an int, you get back a temporary value.
17:22:41FromDiscord<gibson> I gather (lol) you basically want to "sometimes treat this thing as a cell and sometimes treat it as an int" and for that you need pointers all the time.
17:22:55FromDiscord<Horizon [She/Her]> Ah alright, thanks!
17:24:23FromDiscord<Horizon [She/Her]> In reply to @gibson "I gather (lol) you": Yeah, I'm just messing around with the BrainFuck specification to make my code conform more haha

17:32:29FromDiscord<Horizon [She/Her]> Unsure why I'm getting this error: `/data/data/com.termux/files/home/NimBrainFuck/main.nim(39, 33) Error: type mismatch: got 'seq[ptr int]' for 'newSeq(maxCells)' but expected 'seq[int]'`
17:32:30FromDiscord<gibson> Neat FYI: you could use a Variant[cell,int] and force changing its type at runtime, but it's slightly tricky and feels dirty. Of course, so is handling raw pointers, so 🤷‍♂️
17:33:03FromDiscord<Horizon [She/Her]> I'm just using an ptr int currently, but probably will look at that if i wanna do more stuff
17:33:38FromDiscord<gibson> Is `newSeq` your own proc?
17:34:43FromDiscord<Horizon [She/Her]> Nope, built-in Nim procedure for creating sequences with preinitialised values
17:36:22FromDiscord<Horizon [She/Her]> Oh my god I'm so dumb
17:36:38FromDiscord<gibson> newSeq[ptr int](maxCells)?
17:37:01FromDiscord<gibson> You need to tell it what type you want back.
17:37:18FromDiscord<Horizon [She/Her]> I figured out the issue
17:37:34FromDiscord<Horizon [She/Her]> I didn't change the `cells` field to the type `ptr int`
17:37:40FromDiscord<Horizon [She/Her]> It was still `int`
17:39:01FromDiscord<Horizon [She/Her]> In reply to @gibson "You need to tell": Wdym?
17:40:44*derpydoo joined #nim
17:40:53FromDiscord<gibson> `newSeq(maxCells)` is not valid and will produce a compiler error.
17:41:21FromDiscord<gibson> `var s = newSeq(maxCells)` is not valid, for instance.
17:43:12FromDiscord<Horizon [She/Her]> Yeah, I'm doing `newSeq[ptr int](maxCells)`
17:43:19FromDiscord<Horizon [She/Her]> It's valid and I've used it before

17:45:24FromDiscord<Horizon [She/Her]> In reply to @Event Horizon "Yeah, I'm doing `newSeq[ptr": I think it's because it's literally a pointer to null, probably
17:45:32FromDiscord<gibson> In reply to @Event Horizon "Yeah, I'm doing `newSeq[ptr": Oh good, that's not what you showed before! 💦
17:46:11FromDiscord<Horizon [She/Her]> In reply to @gibson "Oh good, that's not": It is? On line 39

20:28:29FromDiscord<albassort> fuck
20:43:54FromDiscord<Phil> In reply to @Elegantbeef "`{.error: "norlogue requires you": So basically, if I need the user to tell me which module to use for compilation it's them giving me compiler flags or choosing an entirely different approach (like generating entire modules via templates where you pass in a lib I guess) ?
20:44:07FromDiscord<Phil> Though I'll definitely take that nice error pragma!
20:48:30FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Is there anyway you can just use types though
20:48:59FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> I guess not since you only want to import the postgress/sqlite modules if they want them
20:55:30FromDiscord<Phil> Pretty much, there's basically 2 places where db interactions happen: Their project and my lib at that point
20:55:56FromDiscord<Phil> And I can't hook into the hosts project place of db interaction because I can't know what or how they do things other than that they use norm
20:56:35FromDiscord<Phil> So I need them to tell me what lib they use for db interaction, which is either norm/sqlite or norm/postgres (atop of which I have setup my 2 service modules)

21:01:06FromDiscord<Phil> In reply to @JustADigimon (she/her) "Hey! so uh im": You defined a proc in the config module called "readJsonConfig".↵That proc states it takes in a parameter "configCtx" of type string.↵You then call that proc in your main nim file and don't pass it a parameter 😛
21:01:24FromDiscord<Phil> (edit) removed "😛"
21:02:10FromDiscord<JustADigimon (she/her)> oh
21:02:12FromDiscord<JustADigimon (she/her)> im dumb
21:02:40FromDiscord<Phil> That's where the type mismatch comes from.↵The error reads pretty much like this:↵"You put nothing in, the procs with the closest matching signatures are this one here, did you mean this one? If so, adjust how you're calling things"

21:15:56FromDiscord<Horizon [She/Her]> Nim is great
21:16:31FromDiscord<Horizon [She/Her]> Also we have a small example project of using Go with Nim, but i think there's a way to do it better without exporting types manually sooo
21:26:40FromDiscord<JustADigimon (she/her)> is there way that i could open a file in the default text editor?
21:26:45FromDiscord<JustADigimon (she/her)> (edit) "editor?" => "editor of user?"

23:27:35FromDiscord<Rika> Explained there
23:28:21FromDiscord<Phytolizer> In reply to @Rika "https://nim-lang.org/docs/manual.html#iterators-and": i must have missed the explanation, my snippet is from that exact section
23:28:59FromDiscord<Rika> It’s explained lower there
23:29:03FromDiscord<Rika> “Closure iterators are resumable functions and so one has to provide the arguments to every call. To get around this limitation one can capture parameters of an outer factory proc:”
23:29:25FromDiscord<Phytolizer> i see, but the iterator doesn't use the arguments which is why im confused
23:29:46FromDiscord<Rika> Even if it doesn’t use the arguments you made it so that it has an argument so you have to pass it nonetheless
23:29:58FromDiscord<Phytolizer> ok just a confusing example then ig :P
23:30:13FromDiscord<Phytolizer> thanks
23:30:25FromDiscord<Rika> Probably was edited a few times
23:30:33FromDiscord<Rika> And the original use for ticker was removed
23:30:38FromDiscord<Phytolizer> yep that seems likely
