00:47:47FromDiscord<Ayy Lmao> Is there a way to get the generic type from a generic?
00:48:52FromDiscord<Ayy Lmao> As in get `float` from `Foo[float]`
00:49:49nrds<ComputerTech99> hai
00:50:23FromDiscord<konsumlamm> In reply to @Ayy Lmao "Is there a way": https://nim-lang.github.io/Nim/typetraits.html#genericParams.t%2Ctypedesc
00:53:06FromDiscord<Ayy Lmao> In reply to @konsumlamm "https://nim-lang.github.io/Nim/typetraits.html#gene": Awesome, thanks!
00:54:18FromDiscord<Ayy Lmao> Neat, there's elementType too. I was wondering about that as well.
01:09:00madpropshow can I pass an int to a proc by reference?
01:09:14madpropsi just want the proc to modify the int
01:09:14FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> `someInt: var int`
01:09:21madpropsi tried that
01:09:34madpropshttps://play.nim-lang.org/#ix=3wp7
01:10:14FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> It replaces all `` at the same time
01:13:20FromDiscord<konsumlamm> it doesn't call `insertnum_rep` multiple times, if you thought that
01:15:17madpropsah right
01:21:05madpropscan't seem to find if re replace can replace one by one

01:26:50FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> I wouldnt
01:27:18madprops\w+
01:27:24FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Probably use the modern api https://nim-lang.org/docs/nre.html#replace%2Cstring%2CRegex%2Cproc%28RegexMatch%29

01:27:58madpropsthought nre was deprecated? https://github.com/nim-lang/RFCs/issues/31
01:28:48madpropsor idk what the decision was
01:29:43FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Ah maybe i'm wrong which is modern, but it has more functionality 😀
01:30:31FromDiscord<konsumlamm> there's no real consensus on re vs nre vs regex vs ... afaik
01:30:35FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Could also use the `nim-regex` package
01:33:07FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Yea idk use whatever module you prefer
01:33:07FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Sure my logic has an issue somewhere

04:00:05madpropswhat happens when 2 libs have the same proc name?
04:00:15madpropssince everything is auto-imported
04:00:42FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> If there is ambiguity you have to remove it somehow
04:00:49madpropsyou get warned?
04:00:58FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> You get a compiler warning
04:01:04madpropsah that's good
04:01:18FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> There isnt often ambiguity since it's rather rare for two procedures to match parameters and types
04:02:27FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> But then you can do multiple things to resolve ambiguity do `import someModule except ambigousSym` or do `someOtherModule.ambigousSym(arg1, arg2...)`
04:02:42FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> The former works if you dont need the symbol whatsoever, the latter works if you need both
04:04:14madpropsyeah makes sense

10:12:48FromDiscord<enthus1ast> what is a good way to make an iterator to a No Op? currently in my "no op when case" i iterate through the param and yield it, but is there a better way?
10:22:57*jjido quit (Quit: My MacBook Air has gone to sleep. ZZZzzz…)
10:23:11FromDiscord<Rika> huh? im unsure of what you mean
10:25:20FromDiscord<enthus1ast> i have an iterator that transforms the input to something else, but this can be deactivated by a define, when the define is set i want to just use the input
10:25:30FromDiscord<enthus1ast> and not have a runtime impact
10:26:56*kayabaNerve joined #nim
10:27:44FromDiscord<Rika> is the input another iterators
10:27:45FromDiscord<Rika> (edit) "iterators" => "iterator\"
10:28:46FromDiscord<enthus1ast> ah i got the solution i guess
10:29:27FromDiscord<enthus1ast> sent a code paste, see https://play.nim-lang.org/#ix=3wqV
10:29:37FromDiscord<enthus1ast> seems to work
10:32:53FromDiscord<haxscramper> sent a code paste, see https://play.nim-lang.org/#ix=3wqX
10:35:41FromDiscord<haxscramper> Otherwise, you have different symbol kinds based on define, and `iterator` sometimes behaves differently from `template` etc.
10:35:45FromDiscord<haxscramper> for example `mapIt` has issues with terators, but it would work with tempalte
10:35:53FromDiscord<haxscramper> sent a code paste, see https://play.nim-lang.org/#ix=3wr0
10:36:00FromDiscord<haxscramper> and putting everything in one implementation allows you to make `noCondenseStrings` a parameter instead of a global whole-project configuration swtich
10:36:28FromDiscord<haxscramper> that is - if you will need this at some point
10:40:11FromDiscord<enthus1ast> sent a code paste, see https://play.nim-lang.org/#ix=3wr1
10:40:50FromDiscord<enthus1ast> in theory it should result in less overall string concatinations
10:41:40FromDiscord<enthus1ast> but more compile time \:)
10:41:53FromDiscord<enthus1ast> [Edit](https://discord.com/channels/371759389889003530/371759389889003532/877864679286902825): in theory it should result in less overall string concatinations on runtime/production
10:43:15FromDiscord<haxscramper> Wwe have `std/ropes` for O(1) concatenation of strings
10:44:02FromDiscord<enthus1ast> i tried ropes in my tests (the user actually can decide) but it was much slower
10:44:26FromDiscord<enthus1ast> only faster for huge strings (but this is kinda expected)
10:46:10FromDiscord<enthus1ast> sent a code paste, see https://play.nim-lang.org/#ix=3wr2
10:48:10FromDiscord<haxscramper> Except for strings (which has it implemented via magic) `&=` is an alias for `add`
10:48:18FromDiscord<haxscramper> Just like `notin`, `in` etc
10:48:22FromDiscord<haxscramper> `!=`
10:48:45FromDiscord<haxscramper> In most cases you don't write these operators, but rather defined `==`, `contains` and `add`
10:49:23FromDiscord<haxscramper> So if you require `.add` instead, you would get both
10:50:06FromDiscord<enthus1ast> i was even thinking about also give the user the option to have the template compile macro generates an iterator body, yielding every string etc, then it would also work for a later "streaming template"
10:50:31FromDiscord<enthus1ast> an template that never finish rendering
10:55:10FromDiscord<enthus1ast> and it would also use less memory, if the underlying httpserver can send data in chunks

11:16:15FromDiscord<PsychoClay> is there a way to do this `TypeReg = TableRef[uint32, typedesc]` without making TypeReg generic?
11:16:53FromDiscord<Rika> No, that makes no sense
11:16:58FromDiscord<Rika> How would that work?
11:17:08FromDiscord<PsychoClay> i just want a table to map ints to types
11:17:36FromDiscord<Rika> For what?
11:17:43FromDiscord<Rika> You can’t use types in runtime anyway
11:18:29FromDiscord<PsychoClay> for ecs
11:23:29FromDiscord<haxscramper> types does not exist at runtime and cannot be used as a value
11:23:47FromDiscord<PsychoClay> hmm
11:23:48FromDiscord<haxscramper> The best you can do is `Table[uint32, NimNode]` where nim node has a symbol of a type

19:10:24FromDiscord<moein> nice
19:20:43FromDiscord<haxscramper> In reply to @moein "like this: if goal": IIRC You can also do `goal in ["weightGain", "weightLoss"]`
19:23:09FromDiscord<enthus1ast> yes
19:23:34FromDiscord<enthus1ast> `for goal in ["weightGain", "weightLoss"]: ` you mean?
19:25:09FromDiscord<enthus1ast> but yes

20:36:23madpropss &= if (m and vf) or (not m and not vf):
20:36:26madpropsis that allowed?
20:36:30madprops(it also has an else)
20:36:46madpropsI mean can I append &= from an if like that?
20:37:19FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> You can
20:38:19FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> You could also do https://play.nim-lang.org/#ix=3wue but this is getting into bikeshed territory
20:39:15madpropsinteresting
20:39:56madpropsit's just that im getting
20:39:57madpropsError: expression expected, but found 'keyword if'
20:40:09FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> full code example?
20:40:11madpropshttps://dpaste.org/vx1L
20:40:23madpropsor i can post fuller
20:40:38madpropsns_vowels and ns_constants are arrays of chars
20:41:31madpropsif i use an intermediary variable to store the result
20:41:34madpropsi then can append it to s
20:41:54FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Fuller code would be nicer, something i can run
20:42:09madpropsok
20:43:34madpropshttps://play.nim-lang.org/#ix=2sSr
20:43:54madpropsok forgot to add n
20:44:02madpropsn can be 4 for example
20:44:39madpropsalso that returns shouldn't be there
20:44:59FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> ix.io didnt like that url, only getting a C file
20:45:47madpropshttps://dpaste.org/LWQ4
20:48:09madpropshttps://play.nim-lang.org/#ix=3wuf
20:48:20FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Ah ok so the issue seems to be with the `&=` operator you need to enclose the expression in `()` otherwise it doesnt work
20:49:11madpropsthe whole if else or just the if ?
20:50:15madpropsok it's the full if else
20:50:16madpropswhy is that though
20:51:58FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Seems assignment operators do not like unwrapped expressions
20:53:44FromDiscord<j-james> How is this project able to reference files from a containing directory?
20:53:44FromDiscord<j-james> https://github.com/pragmagic/godot-nim/blob/master/godot/core/aabb.nim#L6
20:55:45FromDiscord<⃟⃟> can you make a `++` operator like `a ++ b`
20:56:07FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> You can make binary and infix operators
20:56:14FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> no postfix
20:56:53FromDiscord<j-james> In reply to @j-james "How is this project": Ah, never mind, I missed the sneaky `nim.cfg` file
20:57:45FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> i mean infix and prefix, no postfix operators
21:01:29FromDiscord<⃟⃟> wait
21:01:36FromDiscord<⃟⃟> what type are strings
21:02:01FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Strings
21:02:02FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> `string` exactly
21:02:18FromDiscord<⃟⃟> so they arent some char[] type or something?
21:02:28FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> No they're pascal style strings
21:02:34FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> if you want a C string use `cstring`
21:03:05FromDiscord<⃟⃟> i dont
21:03:47FromDiscord<⃟⃟> i was just expecting them to be some sort of arraylist of characters
21:03:50FromDiscord<⃟⃟> not a special type
21:04:21FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Well they're internally the same as `seq[char]` with some caveats
21:04:38FromDiscord<⃟⃟> like what
21:04:39FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> the character after the last one is always a `\0` so you can do `.cstring` for free

21:44:42madpropshow should I doc-comment this? https://dpaste.org/OAkv
21:45:29FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> well you shouldnt use a table for a start
21:47:29FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> https://play.nim-lang.org/#ix=3wuv is just better 😀
21:47:58madpropsah nice
21:48:43FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> also could've used `array['a'..'c', int]` but not overly needed since this is a simple conversion
21:49:20madpropsso by implementing toAlphabetPos you get a toIndex method ?
21:49:39FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Nah i just changed the name
21:49:43FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> I'm a dumb dumb
21:50:21FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> it was `toIndex` but that wasnt a good name so changed it to `toAlphabetPos` and forgot to change the calling code
21:50:24madpropsso that's faster than a table?
21:50:35FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Vastly
21:50:59FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Well it doesnt need to hash a byte, so it's not "vastly" but is faster
21:51:33madpropsi see
21:51:38FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> You can always benchmark it, i imagine it'll be faster in larger numbers, but it's more of a case of not using a useless table and using more memory
21:52:51madpropsok using that also got rid of 2 imports
21:52:56madpropstables and enumerate
22:01:04*max22- quit (Quit: Leaving)
22:10:39madpropshmm having some issue not sure why https://dpaste.org/KPT1
22:15:22madpropsok seems it was a strformat issue again
22:15:28madpropshad to precalculate a var

22:18:52FromDiscord<enthus1ast> yeah first runtime evaluated nimja templates \:D
22:21:27madpropshow can I specify output for nim docs?
22:21:46madpropsinstead of putting it in src/
22:22:29madpropsor should I move the output manually
22:22:42FromDiscord<enthus1ast> ` -o:docs/`
22:23:13FromDiscord<enthus1ast> nim doc --project -o\:docs/ src/nimja.nim
22:23:19madpropswhy --project ?
22:23:51FromDiscord<enthus1ast> this also generates docs for all imported modules
22:24:16madpropsoh
22:24:25madpropsincluding std modules?
22:24:48FromDiscord<enthus1ast> ähm
22:25:01FromDiscord<enthus1ast> i don't think so
22:25:20madpropslocal modules yeah
22:25:24madpropsit's just that i have a single file
22:26:18FromDiscord<enthus1ast> then you dont need --project i suppose
22:27:20madpropsweird thing is that it creates theindex.html
22:27:28madpropsand thelibname.html
22:27:48FromDiscord<enthus1ast> this you can disable
22:28:21madpropsok I see
22:28:25madpropsusing --indexs
22:28:29madprops--index
22:28:38FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Mad you may want to use `strformat.%`
22:29:13FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Actually why are you even using formatting there
22:30:26madpropsto avoid & " " & ?
22:33:05FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Sure but https://play.nim-lang.org/#ix=3wuE
22:33:58FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> sorry forgot the `import std/strformat`
22:34:25madpropsyou're right
22:34:53FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Jesus today is not my day, cannot right any usable code today 😀
22:36:56madpropshttps://dpaste.org/xnom
22:37:10*xet7 quit (Remote host closed the connection)
22:37:27FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Why are you writing to a temp variable then returning?!
22:39:09madpropsbecause i might add to the s variable
22:39:24FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> But result exists
22:41:03madpropsyou mean the if result?
22:41:08FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> The uppityness about result is mostly joking, but https://play.nim-lang.org/#ix=3wuF
22:41:19FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Nim has the explict result variable, no reason to make your own
22:41:25FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> implicit\
22:41:30FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> I really cannot do anything right today
22:42:26madpropsoh i forgot nim had the result thing
22:47:46madpropscleaned up some lines using result, nice
22:57:16FromDiscord<QueenFuckingAdrielle> hulloh

23:18:26FromDiscord<QueenFuckingAdrielle> i just wanted to live somewhere decent thats as far away without needing a visa
23:18:40FromDiscord<ynfle (ynfle)> Alaska?
23:18:58FromDiscord<ynfle (ynfle)> Hawaii?
23:18:59FromDiscord<QueenFuckingAdrielle> i thought about it, but they arent very nice to gay people there for the most part
23:19:12FromDiscord<QueenFuckingAdrielle> no thanks on hawaii, too hot
23:19:54FromDiscord<QueenFuckingAdrielle> It was between main and nys, decided on nys because of the economy
23:20:09FromDiscord<QueenFuckingAdrielle> (edit) "main" => "maine"
