06:57:46FromDiscord<Phil> You mean make the newHook procs distinct somehow?↵I'm not sure how that'd work and how jsony would know which newHook proc to use when, they'd have the same name with the same parameters, just different behaviour
07:03:34FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> You want to have two hooks but the same internal structure yes?
07:04:04FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> If so you do `type MyOtherType = distinct MyType` then do `MyOtherType myType` or similar to convert when you want to parse/emit the specific json
07:05:41FromDiscord<Phil> OHHHHHHH
07:06:08FromDiscord<Phil> Like I could have `type CharacterUpdate = distinct Character` and have a newHook proc for that
07:06:13FromDiscord<Phil> that is really nice!

07:10:40FromDiscord<Phil> My plan got foiled by the fact I can't actually start a newHook with a DB-entry since I can't query from within a `newHook`, or rather I don't have access to the parameters I'd need.... dangit

07:23:07FromDiscord<Phil> Fair, that was my first approach, I guess I should go back to implementing that one, seems to be a case tailor made for it
08:01:16FromDiscord<planetis> I have written something similarities before https://github.com/planetis-m/breakout/blob/master/breakout/loadasset.nim
08:02:01FromDiscord<planetis> Thing is it crashes if fields are not in the correct order

08:05:12FromDiscord<Phil> I'm doing a horrible amalgamation of tons of "when" clauses and handling all the various types my field on the object could have (which is luckily limited since it's representing something in a db-column and I don't deal with JSON) and going through all the possible node-kinds the JsonNode could have and either copying the value from the JsonNode over to the field or raising JsonParseErrors
08:06:38FromDiscord<planetis> You can't really replace JsonNode can you heh
08:10:36*ltriant joined #nim
08:12:33FromDiscord<Phil> Pretty much.↵I'm also basically covering all combinations of "Type I expect to have" and "possible JsonNodeKinds".↵Given I can have string, int, int64, float, bool as well as optionals of all of these.... I've got stuff to write

08:51:00FromDiscord<voidwalker> I have to store X tables like this, with n rows and 10~ columns (i know n before creating). In the previous implementation I used a dynamic array made of string[50] in pascal. What do you suggest I do here, for datatypes ?
08:51:25FromDiscord<voidwalker> storing everything in a 50 length string is inefficient, as some columns only contain one char, or a number 0..100
08:51:42FromDiscord<voidwalker> especially since the rows can go into thousands
08:52:02FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> You could use an object variant based off the type held
08:53:07FromDiscord<voidwalker> a little more explicit please ?
08:53:24FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> sent a code paste, see https://play.nim-lang.org/#ix=3XOJ
08:53:41FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> that should be `intval: 0u8..100u8` 😄
08:54:01FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> It's a tagged union so each entry will at most use 9 bytes
08:54:21FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> the data the string has is more of course
08:54:48FromDiscord<voidwalker> oh so you mean a record for the individual entries, i see... didn't consider this
08:55:19FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> https://nim-lang.org/docs/manual.html#types-object-variants fully explained here
08:56:24FromDiscord<voidwalker> so a row would be array[1..10, EntryKind]
08:56:47FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> `Entry` but yea

08:58:25FromDiscord<voidwalker> ok, i will look up how to practically make use of this
08:58:49FromDiscord<voidwalker> And how about the rows themselves, how do I store just N of them in memory for each such table ?
08:58:57FromDiscord<voidwalker> since n varies from table to table
08:59:16FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Use a sequence or similar if it's dynamic
08:59:35FromDiscord<voidwalker> n is static for a table, and i know it before I create the table
08:59:43FromDiscord<voidwalker> but varies between tables
08:59:59FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Make a generic type so you can do it statically
09:00:32FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> `type Table[Columns: static int] = distinct array[Columns, Row]`
09:01:05FromDiscord<voidwalker> ok, what do I have to read up on this, I never used generics in any language
09:01:30FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> https://nim-lang.org/docs/manual.html#generics the generic docs will probably help

09:05:52*ltriant joined #nim
09:05:53FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Generics just let you easily create contains for different types, in this case different sized arrays
09:09:58FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> containers and procs for different types\ 😄
09:09:59FromDiscord<voidwalker> I know that, just trying to wrap my head around the code you presented. 'static' and 'distinct' are also new to me
09:10:05FromDiscord<voidwalker> A static statement/expression explicitly requires compile-time execution. Even some code that has side effects is permitted in a static block:
09:10:57FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Static generic parameters are generics delimited by a value
09:11:09FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> IE `array[10,int] isnot array[9, int]`

09:42:55FromDiscord<voidwalker> I need more examples for generic types. And why doesn't yours have [T] @ElegantBeef ?
09:43:11FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> It's just a generic parameter name
09:43:16FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> It doesnt have to be `T` it can be whatever you want
09:45:13FromDiscord<jmgomez> Hey guys, any idea of how to check if a dynlib is open/being used? (it may be similar of a so file)
09:46:38FromDiscord<jmgomez> oh I think it can be done with dlopen
09:48:20FromDiscord<voidwalker> type Table[Columns: static int] = distinct array[Columns, Row] - ok it's been alost an hour and I still don't understand this. What are Columns and Row supposed to be in this context ?
09:48:45FromDiscord<voidwalker> I declare a const Columns = 10, since columns are constant ?
09:49:09FromDiscord<voidwalker> (edit) "alost" => "almost"
09:51:43FromDiscord<Rika> No you declare a type `Table[10]`
09:51:56FromDiscord<Rika> And now that table type has Columns set to 10
09:52:11FromDiscord<Rika> Think of it as a “variable that’s local to a type” kind of?
09:52:26FromDiscord<voidwalker> not the same as const colN = 10 and Table[ColN]
09:52:38FromDiscord<voidwalker> (edit) "not the same as const colN = 10 and Table[ColN] ... " added "?"
09:52:51FromDiscord<Rika> Was that capitalisation mismatch intentional?
09:53:02FromDiscord<Rika> If it wasn’t, then they would be the same; constants are folded
09:53:11FromDiscord<voidwalker> (edit) "Table[ColN]" => "Table[colN]"
09:53:36FromDiscord<Rika> And only if that second part was a type usage and not the declaration
09:53:56FromDiscord<voidwalker> (edit) "not the same as const colN = 10 and ... Table[colN]" added "type"
09:54:26FromDiscord<Rika> So declaring a constant then a type Table[constantName: static something], the constant won’t be put in the type automatically
09:54:26FromDiscord<voidwalker> I thiink I ruined my brain trying to understand that line : \
09:54:51FromDiscord<Rika> But if it’s a usage var a: Table[constantName] then it works
09:56:00FromDiscord<Rika> I’m on mobile so I have to carefully choose how to explain it (without code because xd what a pain to deal with keyboards on mobile)

13:56:43FromDiscord<Phil> I've seen this before and was so damn confused
14:01:12FromDiscord<Phil> Can you always just dereference a `ref object` to use a proc that expects an `object` parameter?
14:01:19FromDiscord<Phil> (edit) "parameter?" => "parameter, or are iterators special?"
14:01:52FromDiscord<Phil> I'm asking since the iterators according to the docs expect tuples/objects most of the time

14:04:20FromDiscord<Generic> yes I think so
14:09:02FromDiscord<demotomohiro> You can use `[]` to dereference `ref object` and pass it to procs that takes `object` as long as it is not nil.
14:09:03FromDiscord<Rika> fields is special since its not a real iterator

14:16:29FromDiscord<Phil> Fun fact, I'm not even 6 months into the language and already I've started googling my own SO questions to nim
14:17:35FromDiscord<Rika> interesting strategy ngl
14:17:55FromDiscord<Rika> i dont think ive ever needed to do something similar
14:18:46FromDiscord<Phil> if norm didn't force ref types onto me with Models I don't think I would either
14:19:26*arkurious joined #nim
14:19:52FromDiscord<Phil> But since it does and model-instances are basically the bread and butter of my web application, I end up doing a whole bunch of things with ref-types that I otherwise would've done with value types
14:20:10FromDiscord<Rika> i mean, use SO quesitons
14:20:17FromDiscord<Phil> Oh, that, fair
14:20:37FromDiscord<Phil> Before nim I used them more for actually getting my problems solved
14:21:03FromDiscord<Phil> But with nim I just knew I needed something I could google because it'd soon be more than I could keep in my head for prolonged periods of time
14:22:03FromDiscord<Phil> Particularly doing a whole bunch of stuff with types at compile time is its own dangerous dance with the devil
14:22:29FromDiscord<Phil> I'd already forgotten how to get the inner type of an option at compile time when I remembered that I'd faced that issue once before and back then leorize helped me find the answer
14:28:27FromDiscord<Rika> In reply to @Isofruit "I'd already forgotten how": .get? or you really mean inner type
14:29:18FromDiscord<Phil> The actual type inside the optional from just the optional typedesc.↵That's `genericParams(fieldValue.type()).get(0)`
14:29:40FromDiscord<Phil> fieldValue = the parameter with the typedesc[Option[<SomeType>]]
14:30:25FromDiscord<Rika> does `typeof(option).T` not work?
14:30:36FromDiscord<Rika> (edit) "`typeof(option).T`" => "`typeof(valueThatIsOption).T`"
14:30:46FromDiscord<Rika> !eval import std/options; var a: Option[int]; echo typeof(a).T
14:30:48NimBotint
14:30:55FromDiscord<Phil> Let me check if that lets my program compile
14:31:13FromDiscord<Rika> if its a typedesc then you dont need to typeof
14:32:08FromDiscord<Phil> Huh, that also works
14:32:57FromDiscord<Phil> In fact, even `fieldValue.T` does it (fieldValue is from an iterator over a Model-type)
14:33:24FromDiscord<Phil> I'll add that as an additional response to the question
14:33:31FromDiscord<Rika> yeah you can access generic parameters as long as you know their name
14:33:53FromDiscord<Rika> which is why i dont like it when people name their parameters T
14:34:10FromDiscord<Rika> probably should follow c++ (gasp) in this sense
14:59:03FromDiscord<Phil> In reply to @Rika "probably should follow c++": As someone that never touched C++, I assume they give their generic types proper names?
14:59:10FromDiscord<Rika> they do

15:00:15FromDiscord<Phil> Hmm fair, I do like that one. I already do this in fact for my procs that generate prologue-handler-procs, just not anywhere else.
15:06:13FromDiscord<huantian> In reply to @Patitotective "how could i get": Make your own version, probably
15:06:40FromDiscord<huantian> Wait no that’s the regex find all, can you even do that with regex

15:08:19FromDiscord<huantian> Maybe there’s a function I don’t know about but you’d probably have to modify the findAll iterator
15:09:18FromDiscord<!Patitotective> i have a string like this `=A2+2+F89` so i want to get `@[("A2", 1), ("F89", 6)]`
15:09:45FromDiscord<Rika> whats your regex

15:10:12FromDiscord<!Patitotective> `([A-Za-z])([0-9]{1}|[0-9]{2})`

15:16:18FromDiscord<gmag> Hello 🖐️ 🤓 ↵I'm so excited with Nim! I come from a Python background and immediately tried to play with nimpy and nimporter (kudos to the devs, wonderful packages!). I was wondering how easy/difficult would be integrate numpy arrays, maybe I missed some pertinent documentation on that matter, perhaps someone may kindly give me some pointers.
15:21:12FromDiscord<Phil> In reply to @gmag "Hello 🖐️ 🤓 ": I sadly can't offer much here, I assume the integration would be necessary due to an existing codebase using numpy arrays?
15:23:11*arkt8 left #nim (#nim)
15:23:44FromDiscord<gmag> In reply to @Isofruit "I sadly can't offer": Yes indeed, but also because numpy is sort of the bread and butter for scientific stuff and the glue to integrate with other packages in the Python ecosystem
15:25:05FromDiscord<Phil> Is the goal to generate packages to use in python?
15:25:09FromDiscord<Phil> (edit) "Is the goal to generate packages ... to" added "with nim"
15:31:00FromDiscord<gmag> yes, that's the idea. I have an example repo (based on nimporter examples) that does really the basics (https://github.com/gmagno/nym). And I'm now thinking how to expose a numpy array. This is mostly for fun purposes, there is no goal in mind yet.
15:32:38NimEventerNew thread by Stoneface86: How to add custom links in doc gen?, see https://forum.nim-lang.org/t/9156
15:33:07FromDiscord<gmag> I've used Pybind11 in the past and the interoperability is really interesting. It would be fantastic to reach that kind interoperability in Nim
15:33:47FromDiscord<Phil> Rika, did you play around with importing python into nim?
15:39:02FromDiscord<root> how do i import my own python files into my nim project? I know how to import external libraries but not my own .py files :/
15:39:04FromDiscord<Phil> In reply to @gmag "I've used Pybind11 in": Should currently you be unable to find somebody that has played around a bit more with python/nim interop, I'd highly recommend throwing up a topic in the nim forum.↵And if you're feeling very generous, you can even write up self-answered question on SO with your results (it's what I currently do whenever I solve something that stops me for a bit)
15:41:02FromDiscord<Phil> I've written a decent amount of python in webdev, so I can talk with you regarding how you can express certain things that you do in python in nim, but that's around it. My current webdev project is pretty much reimplementing my python code for funsies and ego (since nim provides hilarious levels of speed-up)
15:43:58FromDiscord<xflywind> I used nimpy before: https://github.com/yglukhov/nimpy when I need some procs from opencv-python.
15:46:48FromDiscord<gmag> @Phil Thanks, I appreciate the feedback and time. I will definitely continue sharing my findings.
15:47:08FromDiscord<xflywind> See also https://github.com/yglukhov/nimpy#troubleshooting-qa
15:47:25FromDiscord<Yardanico> yeah nimpy is the way to go

15:48:59FromDiscord<xflywind> It seems that https://github.com/SciNim/scinim/blob/main/scinim/numpyarrays.nim provides numpy interoperability.
15:49:07FromDiscord<Rika> In reply to @Isofruit "Rika, did you play": No
15:49:23FromDiscord<Rika> I never did any Python Nim interoperation

15:53:03FromDiscord<xflywind> Yeah, they are awesome!
15:54:01FromDiscord<Phil> In reply to @gmag "<@180601887916163073> Thanks, I appreciate": Expanding on xflywind's plugging of scinim, it appears they also have a gitter:↵https://gitter.im/SciNim/community

16:27:54FromDiscord<eyecon> Is it good form to shadow the proc parameters to make some adjustments? Like, a short form is possible but I have to expand it first, and to avoid having two procs I just expand it at the beginning and overwrite the user-given proc parameter? If not, how else would you do it?
16:29:34FromDiscord<eyecon> sent a code paste, see https://play.nim-lang.org/#ix=3XQw
16:31:00FromDiscord<Yardanico> yeah it's totally fine if you shadow the proc arguments by modifying them into new variables
16:31:23FromDiscord<Yardanico> in fact you can even (ab?)use `sink` for that
16:31:50FromDiscord<Yardanico> `sink` is meant for move semantics and it's an annotation that prevents a copy when an argument that is being passed to the proc is not used afterwards
16:31:54FromDiscord<Yardanico> in other cases `sink` just returns a copy
16:32:23FromDiscord<Yardanico> but the main part is that `sink`'d arguments are mutable so you don't need to redeclare them and can instead modify them directly
16:32:55FromDiscord<Yardanico> I honestly don't know if it's okay to use `sink` that way, but I did use it for that myself and seen some other people do the same :)
16:33:45FromDiscord<Yardanico> sent a code paste, see https://play.nim-lang.org/#ix=3XQx
16:34:25FromDiscord<Yardanico> and don't worry, `sink` works with refc GC as well, it's just that there it always copies
16:34:31FromDiscord<eyecon> Thanks. I cannot find a documentation about `sink` except hooks, where can I read more about this?

17:18:18FromDiscord<treeform> you could do a sqlQuery inside the newHook?
17:18:31FromDiscord<Phil> Yeh but I don't have access to the ID that I want to use to query
17:18:43FromDiscord<Phil> That is unless I generate the newHook with the ID that I receive at runtime

18:14:44FromDiscord<Yardanico> Python and Nim are actually quite different, "visual" differences won't be enough :)
18:15:07FromDiscord<iamtakingithard> In reply to @Yardanico "Python and Nim are": well, there's section nim for python programmers
18:15:29FromDiscord<Yardanico> yes, but it just shows some of the simple differences
18:15:57FromDiscord<Yardanico> a lot of nim concepts don't exist in Python at all, and a lot of idioms that do exist in both languages are much less frequently used in Nim than in Python

18:23:32FromDiscord<Yardanico> yes of course if you want a finalizer, but IMO it's better to use destructors as those are "native" to arc/orc while finalizers are "native" to refc but not arc/orc
18:23:38FromDiscord<Yardanico> and orc will become default in nim 2.0
18:23:59FromDiscord<Yardanico> but again, you can use `new` with a ref object to assign a finalizer to it, yes
18:24:20FromDiscord<Yardanico> `new` doesn't create a `ref Type` if you pass it a `Type` that is already a ref
18:26:25FromDiscord<Yardanico> ah, seems like with the finalizer `new` is a bit of a different overload

18:33:35FromDiscord<Yardanico> @Andreas one thing to note is that destructors are more "low-level" than finalizers
18:34:11FromDiscord<Yardanico> if you define a custom destructor for a type, then you must manually call `=destroy` for all of the object's fields that are managed by the GC while finalizers do that automatically

18:49:48FromDiscord<Phil> sent a code paste, see https://play.nim-lang.org/#ix=3XRi
18:51:24FromDiscord<Phil> `encounterRoutes nim` calls the convenience proc, which calls `createUpdateHandler` to create a handler proc.↵Since that proc is now in the context of `encounterRoutes` and `encounterRoutes.nim` imports `encounterDeserialization.nim` (which has the `renameHook` proc), I would expect the created handler proc to make use of the `renameHook` proc.
18:51:36FromDiscord<Phil> (edit) "`encounterRoutes nim` calls the convenience proc, which calls `createUpdateHandler` to create a handler proc.↵Since that ... proc" added "handler"
18:52:05FromDiscord<Yardanico> what happens if you add `import encounterDeserialization` to `createHandlerProcs.nim` ? does anything change?
18:52:21FromDiscord<Yardanico> just to try
18:52:45FromDiscord<Phil> Yeh, am currently compiling it
18:53:34FromDiscord<Phil> I'll do `from encounter/encounterDeserialization import renameHook` because the other procs in that template that get generated would cause an `ambiguous call` error.
18:54:24FromDiscord<Phil> Still doesn't make use of `renameHook` ↵(I can see that because I fire an HTTP request to that endpoint and the value of the `diaryentry` field is not correctly transferred to the `diaryentry_id` field on `Encounter`
18:54:31FromDiscord<Phil> (edit) "`Encounter`" => "`Encounter`)"
18:54:40FromDiscord<Phil> (edit) "Still doesn't make use of `renameHook` ↵(I can see that because I fire an HTTP request to that endpoint and the value of the `diaryentry` field ... is" added "in the json"
18:57:02FromDiscord<Phil> The worst part is, I can't reproduce this in a minimal code sample. I've done semi-similar setups in a playground-project of mine and there it works.↵But that one doesn't try to use jsony within a proc created by a generic proc
18:57:45FromDiscord<Yardanico> well you can at least try to call renameHook explicitly in createUpdateHandler (just to test, you can create an empty variable of that type) so that it fails at compile time if it doesn't see renameHook

19:03:54FromDiscord<Yardanico> In reply to @root "how do i remove": `del` and `delete`
19:04:03FromDiscord<root> thank you!
19:04:05FromDiscord<Yardanico> `del` doesn't preserve the order, `delete` does
19:04:13FromDiscord<Yardanico> In reply to @Andreas "delete( seq[], idx..idx)": no need for `[]`, and no need for `..` here
19:04:26FromDiscord<root> how do i get the index of something in a seq?
19:04:29FromDiscord<Yardanico> `find`
19:04:37FromDiscord<Yardanico> just `seq.delete(idx)` or `seq.del(idx)` depending on if you want to preserve the order in the seq or not
19:04:42FromDiscord<Yardanico> to delete
19:04:47FromDiscord<Yardanico> delete preserves, del doesn't

19:05:33FromDiscord<Yardanico> In reply to @Isofruit "So I plonked this": well it's not that surprising, because this way you use renameHook right in your proc
19:05:41FromDiscord<Yardanico> and it's not jsony that's trying to use it
19:05:52FromDiscord<Yardanico> as an alternative, try to remove this whole `when` and instead add `bind renameHook` to the start of that proc
19:05:52FromDiscord<Andreas> In reply to @Yardanico "no need for `[]`,": i did `delete( seq, idx:int )` and got a deprecation-warning, range will be accepted in future..
19:06:02FromDiscord<Yardanico> In reply to @Andreas "i did `delete( seq,": ??
19:06:27FromDiscord<Yardanico> ah you're talking about https://nim-lang.org/docs/sequtils.html#delete%2Cseq%5BT%5D%2CSlice%5Bint%5D
19:06:35FromDiscord<Yardanico> this is for removing whole parts of the seq, not one element
19:06:50FromDiscord<Yardanico> system itself defines `del` and `delete` for removing single seq entries already
19:12:53FromDiscord<Phil> sent a code paste, see https://play.nim-lang.org/#ix=3XRq
19:12:54FromDiscord<Phil> Still breaks though
19:13:14FromDiscord<Yardanico> nonon, bind outside of `result`
19:13:17FromDiscord<Yardanico> i meant in `createUpdateHandler`
19:13:46FromDiscord<Phil> Hmm alright, let's see
19:13:47FromDiscord<Yardanico> `bind` is not a runtime operation, it's for compile time

19:17:17FromDiscord<Yardanico> hmm, and what if you keep this `bind` but also add encounterDeserialization import to `createHandlerProcs.nim` ?
19:17:56FromDiscord<Phil> This is already with `from encounter/encounterDeserialization import renameHook` at the start of `createHandlerProcs.nim`
19:18:34FromDiscord<Yardanico> then i don't have any new ideas, sorry :( guessing without full source code is a bit hard, but it's fine if it's a private project
19:18:42FromDiscord<Yardanico> maybe you can make a post on the forum or open an issue in jsony
19:19:09FromDiscord<Phil> Oh, I can gladly provide full source code, I've got a public github repo
19:19:18FromDiscord<Yardanico> oh why haven't you told that as the very first thing :D
19:19:20FromDiscord<Phil> Just that that source code would spam the entire channel for several screens worth just for this issue
19:19:32FromDiscord<Yardanico> yeah that's fine, just post the link
19:19:47FromDiscord<Yardanico> it's much easier to "try" the code itself than to guess from parts of it
19:20:12FromDiscord<Yardanico> kind of like watching someone else play the game vs playing the game yourself
19:22:04FromDiscord<Yardanico> @PMunch and yeah, in general PRs don't get backported to 1.6 at all so that's why your PR wasn't backported
19:22:24FromDiscord<Yardanico> they only get backported if the author (or someone else) explicitly asked for it either in PR name/commit message or in github commentrs
19:22:26FromDiscord<Yardanico> (edit) "commentrs" => "comments"

19:35:34FromDiscord<huantian> Shouldn’t it be =destroy[K, V](n: var Node[K, V])
19:35:38FromDiscord<Yardanico> yeah
19:35:58FromDiscord<Yardanico> In reply to @Isofruit "In that case, small": i've hit some constructor macro bug, but I'll come to your bug after that :)

19:45:11FromDiscord<Phil> Dang

19:45:47FromDiscord<Yardanico> sent a code paste, see https://play.nim-lang.org/#ix=3XRz
19:46:06FromDiscord<Yardanico> it fails at the assertion in micros/utils.nim `isa(n, ObjectDef)`

19:46:21FromDiscord<Phil> (edit) "own?" => "own project?"
19:46:41FromDiscord<Yardanico> because apparently micros walks up the inheritance chain but gets Model as nnkIdent

19:53:31FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> I apparently dumbly used micros for this but forgot the AST is untyped so it cannot walk up the tree
19:53:37FromDiscord<Yardanico> heh
19:53:48FromDiscord<Yardanico> but how it works for @Phil 🤔
19:53:54FromDiscord<Yardanico> (edit) "but how ... itwork" added "does" | "works" => "work"
19:54:06FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Older constructor version?
19:54:16FromDiscord<Yardanico> hmm, I used nimble just as him
19:54:16FromDiscord<Phil> Have I transcended into the spaces of "It works and nobody knows why?"
19:54:23FromDiscord<Yardanico> requires "constructor >= 1.0.3"
19:54:27FromDiscord<Phil> Let me check my downloaded constructor version
19:55:05FromDiscord<Yardanico> ah constructor doesn't have tags
19:55:07FromDiscord<Phil> I've got constructor 1.0.3 and only that version
19:55:30FromDiscord<Yardanico> constructor has been at 1.0.3 for 4 months
19:55:39FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Ah forgot to bump it for the last version
19:55:53FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Though to be fair i didnt expect any API changes
19:55:59FromDiscord<Yardanico> guess commit 12ffdb55baabbd33f33aec490659d74ae8293232 of constructor will work for me for now
19:56:28FromDiscord<Yardanico> yeah that compiles
19:56:48FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> I assume the error appears in the fields iterator
19:56:50FromDiscord<Yardanico> btw @Phil you forgot to put miniz into nimble requirements :)
19:57:19FromDiscord<Phil> In reply to @Yardanico "btw <@180601887916163073> you forgot": Ahhh right, the compression of the outgoing HTTP response is something I only threw in relatively recently
19:57:24FromDiscord<Yardanico> and is there a reason it's used instead of zippy ? zippy seems to support deflate as well
19:58:40FromDiscord<Phil> I have both, and miniz was just the first one I used.↵I think it compressed on average like 2-3 % more in terms of size, but that's testing by hand for like 3 endpoints or sth
19:59:08FromDiscord<Phil> Overall they were very close to one another in both speed and amount of compression, so I just left it at miniz
20:00:05FromDiscord<Phil> Is there a maintenance reason to prefer one over the other?
20:00:36*ehmry quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds)
20:01:13FromDiscord<Yardanico> less dependencies, miniz is effectively abandoned, and I can't install it for some reason :)

20:01:32FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Clearly just use supersnappy 😄
20:02:09FromDiscord<Yardanico> In reply to @Elegantbeef "Clearly just use supersnappy": http doesn't have snappy as a support compression method
20:02:36FromDiscord<Yardanico> (edit) "support" => "supported"
20:03:12FromDiscord<Phil> I'll throw a commit up swapping to zippy and add the necessary readme text
20:04:39FromDiscord<Yardanico> also would be good if the repo had an examplke settings.json already for prologue :)
20:04:53FromDiscord<Yardanico> but I think now i'm close to running the project

20:10:03FromDiscord<Phil> regarding sqlite, since I don't particularly fancy throwing a public version of my db sqlite up, I'll send you one via DMs
20:10:46FromDiscord<Yardanico> well i can do fine with the dev version, I just need a way to trigger your bug
20:11:35FromDiscord<Phil> The main issue really is that I don't have a dev version 😄 ↵The project is tiny enough that it's nothing major anyway, the target userbase is in the lower double digits and I'll never do any sort of payment stuff on this

22:54:42FromDiscord<Zectbumo> I just now noticed that the documentation separates parameters with semi-colon ;↵why is that? why not coma , like the declaration is?
22:55:03FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Semicolon is more explicit
22:55:50FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Explictly shows where typing of a group of variables end
22:56:04FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> parameters\
22:56:38FromDiscord<Zectbumo> oh is semi-colon allowed in the language? so this is not out of the ordinary
22:56:44FromDiscord<Phil> Which is an argument. I disagree with that assessment and personally stick with the default as outlined by most other languages I know, but it's a point one may agree with
22:56:47FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Yes
22:57:16FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> `proc doThing(a, b: string, c: int)` and `proc doThing(a, b: string; c: int)` are both valid
22:57:30FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> The latter is more explicit in where the declaration of types end
22:57:52FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Most other languages dont do group type declarations so moot point↵(@Phil)
22:57:52FromDiscord<Zectbumo> ah very cool. good to know. and even though the source code isn't like that the manual makes it explicit
22:58:46FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> sent a code paste, see https://play.nim-lang.org/#ix=3XSh
22:58:59FromDiscord<Zectbumo> I do like that type declaration shortcut
22:59:17FromDiscord<Generic> the semicolon also has another important function for default typed parameters
22:59:25FromDiscord<Generic> you see this most often with generics:
22:59:57FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Well the semicolon ends the typing of generic parameters `[T; Y: string or int]` is not equivlent to `[T, Y: string or int]`
23:00:16FromDiscord<Zectbumo> oh
23:00:17FromDiscord<Generic> yeah exactly
23:00:33FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> The former case the generic is anything
23:00:37FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> The latter case it's `string or int`
23:00:44FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> T that is
23:00:47FromDiscord<Zectbumo> I was wondering about that case, not that I needed it but I saw that it would come one day
23:01:12FromDiscord<Yardanico> semicolons are also needed with `using`
23:01:20FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> I honestly cant find another language that does group parameter typing
23:01:29FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Good thing no one uses using
23:01:34FromDiscord<Generic> I use it

23:02:06FromDiscord<Yardanico> In reply to @Yardanico "semicolons are also needed": for those who don't know - https://nim-lang.org/docs/manual.html#statements-and-expressions-using-statement
23:02:33FromDiscord<Generic> I dare you to repeat `state: var PpcState` so many times
23:02:39FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> I wouldnt
23:02:48FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> I'd do `type MutState = var PpcState`
23:02:59FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Checkmate atheists
23:03:06FromDiscord<Generic> that's possible?
23:03:22FromDiscord<Generic> though even then you'd need to explictly give that type every time
23:03:39FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Yes it is
23:03:45FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> sent a code paste, see https://play.nim-lang.org/#ix=3XSl
23:05:43FromDiscord<Zectbumo> if you had a ton of procs I can see using being very useful. though, if that's the case then the reader would have to scroll way up to see what these parameters are typed. so maybe copy and paste / search and replace is everyone's friend
23:06:22FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> I just dont like using, it's an odd feature imo, so i just dont use it and pretend it doesnt exist
23:06:33FromDiscord<Generic> you do you, I'm glad it exists
23:07:19FromDiscord<Zectbumo> there is something here for everyone, and that's something I like about nim. and, usually if you don't like it there are answers to that too to change it
23:08:32FromDiscord<Zectbumo> now we just need a "delete keyword" feature for beef
23:08:49FromDiscord<Yardanico> delete what?
23:08:53FromDiscord<Zectbumo> using
23:09:15FromDiscord<Zectbumo> https://discord.com/channels/371759389889003530/371759389889003532/975534637059293254
23:09:38FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> I never collide with it so it's hardly a needed feature
23:09:53FromDiscord<Generic> that's really one of the few things I really don't like about Nim
23:09:57FromDiscord<Generic> it's such a keyword hog
23:10:10FromDiscord<Generic> type, end, block, addr
23:10:24FromDiscord<Zectbumo> answer for that too ↵let `using` = "be your friend"
23:10:34FromDiscord<Zectbumo> (edit) "`using`" => "\`using\`"
23:10:46FromDiscord<Generic> I know this works, but it's ugly
23:10:56FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Eh nim doesnt have that many keywords
23:11:11FromDiscord<Generic> but they're all things I want to name my variables
23:11:12FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> the only one i've tripped over is bind
23:11:16FromDiscord<Generic> oh yeah bind
23:11:52FromDiscord<Zectbumo> I tripped over "method" the other day

23:12:17FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> It's not too bad though
23:13:09FromDiscord<Generic> what's end even reserved for?
23:13:12FromDiscord<Generic> secret pascal mode?
23:13:35FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Better to reserve a keyword and not need it then need it and not reserve it
23:14:23FromDiscord<Generic> I "wrote" (translated fits better) an interval tree and I had to come up with a better name for end
23:14:25FromDiscord<Yardanico> In reply to @Generic "what's end even reserved": at some point a endX syntax skin was planned
23:14:30FromDiscord<Yardanico> because braces skin was there already
23:14:43FromDiscord<Generic> oh I didn't knew syntax skins were ever implemented
23:14:59FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Used to have {} syntax and whitespace at the same time 😄
23:17:09FromDiscord<Zectbumo> I haven't been using nim long enough, but I can see myself with a desktop stickynote holding my basic imports: stdtabs, strformat, sequtils, ... what do you guys do? copy n paste a standard header line for all new .nim files?
23:17:28FromDiscord<Yardanico> i just remember quite a lot of the stdlib
23:17:28FromDiscord<Generic> I'm import what I need
23:17:31FromDiscord<Yardanico> so i import things what I need
23:17:32FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> You can make a `config.nims` that has `--import` statements
23:17:50FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Yea i just import what i need
23:18:02FromDiscord<Generic> (if you want to pollute the namespace even more, not that that's very bad in Nim)
23:18:32FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Especially with the overloadable(overridable?) enums it's not an issue imo
23:19:15FromDiscord<Generic> I always feel a bit bad for nimsuggest
23:19:41FromDiscord<Generic> though my project recently reached it's breaking point, so it's not an issue anymore
23:48:51FromDiscord<Zectbumo> what is a `none(int)` ?↵https://nim-lang.org/docs/cookies.html#setCookie%2Cstring%2Cstring%2Cstring%2Cstring%2Cstring
23:49:08FromDiscord<Yardanico> std/options
23:49:12FromDiscord<Yardanico> https://nim-lang.org/docs/options.html
23:49:22FromDiscord<Generic> https://nim-lang.org/docs/options.html#none%2Ctypedesc
23:54:56FromDiscord<Zectbumo> interesting. it avoids the nil issue, but the docs don't say what the nil issue is (as it says sometimes it's a "bad idea") and I can't find any docs on it in the tutorials and manual.
23:55:47FromDiscord<Yardanico> In reply to @Zectbumo "interesting. it avoids the": std/options in this case is used for cookies so you can denote the absence of a value
23:56:12FromDiscord<Yardanico> because maxAge is an optional cookie parameter
23:56:21FromDiscord<Yardanico> and it can also be zero or negative
23:56:21FromDiscord<Zectbumo> I got that part, but what are they talking about in the std/options docs saying "nil not always available, or not a good solution"
23:56:36FromDiscord<huantian> Nil is only an option for reference types
23:56:38FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Options force you to unpack nilable types
23:56:44FromDiscord<Yardanico> the nil idea is to use `nil` as the absence of value for ref types
23:56:52FromDiscord<huantian> and the problem is nil is that you don't know, at compile time, if something can be nil or not
23:56:59FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> So you cannot accidently use nil`var a: ref int; echo a[]`
23:57:16FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> you do `var a: Option[ref int]; if a.isSome: echo a.get()[]`
23:57:41FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Some people view that as the wrong wrapping of a nilable type
23:57:43FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> YMMV
23:57:54FromDiscord<Zectbumo> I see
23:58:12FromDiscord<Zectbumo> I would copy and paste that into the tutorial, beef
