06:37:38monofuel[m]I automated building docker images from nim devel, making images for amd64 and arm https://hub.docker.com/r/monofuel/nim/
06:38:17monofuel[m]wanted to make it easier to toy with the latest version of nim on raspberry pi without waiting for it to compile
06:47:28flaviumonofuel[m]: Nice job; that looks useful! A point of possible improvement: each time you make a layer in docker (i.e. use a command), that adds a layer to the image. So to reduce the image size, you can use line continuations and "&&" to chain commands. If you do this, as well as delete unnecessary files (nimcache, csources, .git), you could probably get the image under 50MB.
06:47:48flaviuYou can also merge all those apk lines into one "apk --update --no-cache git build-base"
06:48:30flaviuActually, looks like you don't need the "--update" when using "--no-cache"

07:39:06FromGitter<Bennyelg> hey what does this syntax means ?[(position + i) and 15]
07:39:43FromGitter<Bennyelg> what doe the `and` means
07:39:49FromGitter<narimiran> @Bennyelg this is from my AoC solution, right? :)
07:40:01FromGitter<Bennyelg> yea good bless you here
07:40:06FromGitter<narimiran> `and 15` is the same as `mod 16`
07:40:07FromGitter<Bennyelg> I am eating my self
07:40:22FromGitter<Bennyelg> first time seeing this
07:40:25FromGitter<Bennyelg> in my live
07:40:27FromGitter<Bennyelg> life*
07:40:46FromGitter<narimiran> haha, look it up under bit-masking
07:40:55FromGitter<Bennyelg> thanks
07:41:46FromGitter<narimiran> theoretically should/could be faster than doing `mod`, but probably compiler optimizes it so in practice might be the same
07:42:29Araqflaviu, that still requires the .pure annotation to work
07:42:33FromGitter<Bennyelg> go it :D, I ate myself around 2 hours just trying to understand what the hack
07:43:27FromGitter<alehander42> i guess it's bit and ? usually it's `&`, i find it confusing when called `and`
07:43:35FromGitter<Bennyelg> yea
07:43:50FromGitter<alehander42> ok
07:43:51FromGitter<Bennyelg> if it was `&` I would understand it right away
07:44:35FromGitter<narimiran> i would rather that it was `&`, but our BDFL doesn't like (well-known) symbols and he prefers words :(
07:44:59FromGitter<alehander42> ahh i finally get it
07:45:14FromGitter<alehander42> `{.base.}` warning is when you accidentally DONT override a method in a subclass
07:45:27Araq'&' is already concat
07:45:33FromGitter<alehander42> a hint would do wonders for that error message
07:46:10FromGitter<alehander42> `(are you trying to override a parent method? this signature doesn't match any)`
07:46:27Araqand fyi I would prefer 'bitand' these days
07:46:36FromGitter<alehander42> yeah bitand would be cool
07:47:35FromGitter<Bennyelg> agree
07:47:45FromGitter<Bennyelg> bitand will be much more applicable here
07:47:56FromGitter<narimiran> you cannot concat two numbers with `&` ;)
07:48:04FromGitter<Bennyelg> yea
07:48:07FromGitter<Bennyelg> I tried it now
07:48:10FromGitter<alehander42> because honestly before that I thought I have to fix my base method somehow (after all the error message shows `base` several times which actually doesn't have a lot to do with the error usually)
07:48:11FromGitter<Bennyelg> and you can't
07:48:37Araqalehander42: RFC is wip
08:01:11FromGitter<alehander42> `0` is invalid module name
08:01:51FromGitter<alehander42> that's what happens when you start autogenerating nim files with other nim files

11:08:56FromGitter<kaushalmodi> @bung87 Very cool. Can you add a README that also includes how this compares to the unittest stdlib?
11:09:37FromGitter<kaushalmodi> https://nim-lang.org/docs/unittest.html
11:10:40FromGitter<vivekimsit> Hi Guys, I have just recently started learning Nim and recently published a small utility module in github
11:10:59FromGitter<vivekimsit> it would be great if someone can have a quick overview and give me some feedback
11:11:09FromGitter<vivekimsit> https://github.com/vivekimsit/pretty-bytes
11:13:44FromGitter<bung87> well , there’s more feature considering in commented code, `parallel `,output to file , the mose favour part is the terminal prints styles.
11:15:19FromGitter<xmonader> Is it just me or the parsetoml isn't really friendly to use?
11:15:20*navin quit (Remote host closed the connection)
11:15:44FromGitter<bung87> also considering add consumed time
11:15:51FromGitter<kaushalmodi> @vivekimsit Comments unrelated to code, you shouldn't commit the binaries to the git repo.
11:16:28*navin joined #nim
11:17:17FromGitter<kaushalmodi> The binaries would be specific to your OS. So anyone building this themselves on a different OS will anyways have to build it again. Read on how to distribute binaries as GitHub Releases assets instead.
11:18:55FromGitter<kaushalmodi> About the code, good job adding tests. I'd also add tests for arbitrary values. Right now, you are using just rounded "clean" byte values which are not very realistic.
11:20:32FromGitter<vivekimsit> @kaushalmodi thanks for the comments, I am still in very early stage of learning vim so any comment will definitely help me out
11:20:47*navin quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds)
11:20:51FromGitter<vivekimsit> I need to add more tests for sure
11:21:17FromGitter<vivekimsit> and find some edge cases so any pull requests are welcome
11:21:40*stefanos82 joined #nim
11:22:19FromGitter<vivekimsit> also, right now the output is always in this format: `x.y` it would be better if I could trim the `0` after the decimal if the result is an integer
11:28:55FromGitter<kaushalmodi> About trimming the trailing .0, look at the `g`/`G` format for printing floats using `fmt`. Here are my notes on that: https://scripter.co/notes/nim-fmt/#type--only-for-numbers
11:31:14*leorize joined #nim
11:32:20*SenasOzys quit (Ping timeout: 250 seconds)
11:33:29FromGitter<kaushalmodi> I think you will get an error if you do just `var number = 123` in your test, because then number would be an int and not a float.
11:33:40FromGitter<alehander42> @bung87 looks good
11:34:03FromGitter<kaushalmodi> @vivekimsit You would need to add support for int types too.
11:34:41FromGitter<kaushalmodi> Better, make that proc a generic, and slightly tweak the behavior of int vs float inside that generic proc definition.
11:34:49FromGitter<alehander42> But the killing feature for me in unittest is that it can show you the subvalues in the expected nodes
11:35:03FromGitter<alehander42> E.g. a + b , can show a and b
11:35:16FromGitter<alehander42> But the problem is it's very inconsistent in it
11:35:30FromGitter<alehander42> If your lib can do this well too, I'll use it
11:35:47FromGitter<kaushalmodi> @xmonader admittedly, I haven't used parsetoml much. But using it was fine.
11:36:51FromGitter<kaushalmodi> You can find an example in here: https://github.com/kaushalmodi/nbuild/blob/master/src/nbuild.nim
11:37:44FromGitter<kaushalmodi> See the cfg variable in there
11:37:55FromGitter<bung87> havn’t look that further ,just using literal value for testing ,since it suitable for mine another lib, will keep it in mind .
11:44:02FromGitter<xmonader> @kaushalmodi well, basic usage doesn't even work ⏎ https://github.com/NimParsers/parsetoml/issues/23
11:46:45FromGitter<kaushalmodi> I see, that error is due to the removal of string nil recently
11:46:57FromGitter<kaushalmodi> I haven't tried parsetoml after that.
11:47:15FromGitter<kaushalmodi> It should be an easy fix I believe.
11:48:00FromGitter<kaushalmodi> For now, you should be able to continue using an experimental switch; don't remember it right now.
11:48:26FromGitter<kaushalmodi> If someone can help, that switch temporarily allows nil string on devel.
11:49:51FromGitter<xmonader> compiling with nilseqs:on works but still raises errors
11:53:06FromGitter<kaushalmodi> The error is evident :)

16:51:17FromGitter<mratsim> I saw some questions on the forum recently about static linking
16:55:03FromGitter<iffy> I guess dynlibOverride is assuming I've already built the static sqlite lib, right? There's not a way to use sqlite source (and have nim compile everything in one step)?
16:59:56FromGitter<iffy> yep
17:00:00FromGitter<iffy> wow... that was too easy
17:11:56*Aareon joined #nim
17:11:59FromGitter<bung87> is there a Deep learn framework in nim ?
17:12:34AareonThere are wrappers for Tensor iirc
17:12:35TheLemonManno, only shallow learning ones
17:12:43AareonMaybe... lol
17:12:57FromGitter<bung87> wrappers ..
17:13:13TheLemonManthere's nimtorch & arraymancer
17:14:02AareonArrayMancer is a good one
17:15:22FromGitter<bung87> ah seems fit my needs, I ‘ll give a try
17:15:43FromGitter<bung87> thanks guys!

17:17:08*Aareon_ is now known as Aareon
17:17:55TheLemonManAraq, what about deprecating {int,str}define pragmas and instead have a compiler plugin generate a CT-tuple (a-la locals()) with all the user defines?
17:19:02Aareon`locals()` as in Python `locals()`?
17:20:07monofuel[m]flaviu: thanks for the feedback, i'll look into updating it later today. I'm not familiar with optimizing dockerfiles for size, normally I try to optimize for making it easy change with fast rebuild but size would be better in this case.
17:20:12FromGitter<kaushalmodi> TheLemonMan: How will the value type be derived?
17:20:30FromGitter<kaushalmodi> Interestingly, I *just* learned about the *define pragma.. noted that here: https://scripter.co/notes/nim/#define-switch-value
17:21:24TheLemonMankaushalmodi, the compiler already knows about them
17:22:13FromGitter<kaushalmodi> I thought it assigned it as string or int based on strdefine or intdefine..
17:22:32*Aareon quit (Quit: Igloo IRC: https://iglooirc.com)
17:24:15TheLemonManof course all of them are strings, because all the -d: switches are indeed strings, and the user is responsible for parsing it (& error handling)
17:26:07FromGitter<kaushalmodi> hmm, makes sense
17:26:14*SenasOzys quit (Ping timeout: 272 seconds)
17:26:32FromGitter<kaushalmodi> I also find it *magical* that a define switch of strdefine type gets a `"true"` value by default
17:27:20FromGitter<kaushalmodi> if the switch value is stored as string, we need to distinguish between a `-d:foo` switch vs `-d:foo=bar` switch vs no switch
17:27:38FromGitter<kaushalmodi> so I think option[string] will need to enter that scene
17:27:42*SenasOzys joined #nim
17:28:52TheLemonManconflating `-d:foo` and `-d:foo=` may help without bringing into the table the big (optional) guns :)
17:33:25*navin quit (Remote host closed the connection)
17:33:27FromGitter<kaushalmodi> yes, actually I wasn't talking of that case.. I was talking about the case of a define switch not being used.
17:33:40FromGitter<kaushalmodi> But thinking more, we wouldn't need to worry of such cases
17:33:57FromGitter<kaushalmodi> as there won't be a tuple element for missing switches :)
17:33:58TheLemonManoh, if the -d: is missing then you'd have a missing-field error
17:34:21FromGitter<kaushalmodi> If I understood you correctly, passing `-d:foo -d:bar=val` will be analogous to `const locals = [("foo", ""), ("bar", "val")]`
17:34:23FromGitter<kaushalmodi> right?
17:35:20TheLemonManmore like `(foo: "", bar: "val")`, a tuple is nicer than a table here
17:35:25FromGitter<iffy> Is there a way to access the correctly-typed values of returned db_sqlite result rows? e.g. `select 1 as first, "foo" as second` and then `row.first == 1` and `row.second == "foo"`?
17:35:44FromGitter<kaushalmodi> TheLemonMan: yes, thanks
17:36:18FromGitter<kaushalmodi> so yeah, that `locals` suggestion would be nice
17:36:48FromGitter<kaushalmodi> how would Nim ensure that there's no name collision with a `locals` in user code?
17:37:43TheLemonManerr, `defines` is a better name here :) it'd be implemented as a compiler plugin like `locals()` is
17:38:47FromGitter<kaushalmodi> OK, I'll trust you guys because I don't know what `locals()` is :)
17:38:54FromGitter<kaushalmodi> But yes, `defines` is nicer
17:39:07FromGitter<kaushalmodi> You want to make an RFC?
17:40:12*Trustable quit (Remote host closed the connection)
17:41:39TheLemonManit's more a brain-fart than a full-blown RFC right now heh
17:42:33FromGitter<kaushalmodi> Another tangent to that
17:42:42FromGitter<kaushalmodi> we already have `defined` proc (macro?)
17:42:53FromGitter<kaushalmodi> but it's a user-facing proc like thing
17:43:03FromGitter<kaushalmodi> right now defined returns either true or false
17:43:19FromGitter<kaushalmodi> would be nice if it returned true/false/stringval
17:43:22FromGitter<kaushalmodi> wdyt?
17:43:49FromGitter<kaushalmodi> or.. if it returned (again) option[string] :)
17:44:09*navin joined #nim
17:44:20FromGitter<kaushalmodi> so instead of a user having to check `defined` and the new `defines`, then now need the same old `defined`
17:44:27TheLemonManmy opinion is that since `defined` is a question (is it defined or not?) it should just return a bool
17:44:53FromGitter<kaushalmodi> hmm
17:49:40TheLemonManit's like elisp predicates :)
17:49:53FromGitter<kaushalmodi> hey!
17:49:55FromGitter<kaushalmodi> You use emacs?
17:50:05FromGitter<kaushalmodi> it's like alist in elisp :)
17:50:17FromGitter<kaushalmodi> ok, you meant `defined`
17:50:26*demotomohiro quit (Quit: Leaving)
17:50:53FromGitter<kaushalmodi> when you pasted `(foo: "", bar: "val")`, I was thinking alists.. `'((foo . "") (bar . "val"))`

22:04:16FromGitter<iffy> the compiler doesn't like me using `statements` from within the inner proc

22:25:42FromGitter<drewp> picking up from @dm1try idea at https://gitter.im/nim-lang/Nim?at=5b9ef81db4990c30eec684d5 , my code is now like https://gist.github.com/drewp/d299548fd28c9db22dc1c8f0b1cf8f8a and it looks pretty except for the casts on 33-34
22:41:46*zachcarter quit (Ping timeout: 260 seconds)
22:44:16FromGitter<rayman22201> @iffy it's the openArray. You can't capture an openArray because it may not have an address. If you make that a concrete type like a seq it will work.
22:45:28FromGitter<iffy> k, I tried a seq after that and I though it compiled, I was still getting errors. I need to get a smaller example of my whole code. Thanks for the tip!
22:45:51*enthus1ast joined #nim
22:46:31FromGitter<rayman22201> You could make it a template instead
22:46:40FromGitter<iffy> That's where I started :)
22:46:52FromGitter<iffy> let me paste my full file (shortened)
22:46:54enthus1astany idea how i could convert (in js context) a stdlib.json to a js json object?
22:49:11enthus1astanything better than: JSON.parse(($j))
22:49:11*abm joined #nim
22:49:41FromGitter<rayman22201> @enthus1ast I don't understand the question. what is a stdlib.json?
22:50:08enthus1astim useing `json` from the stdlib to parse a json msg in the browser
22:50:55FromGitter<iffy> @rayman22201 can I paste 30 lines here or is there a better pastebin?
22:51:18enthus1astbut when i call a callback, which is defined by javascript code, i see the implementation of json, not the json data
22:51:48FromGitter<rayman22201> @iffy, pastebin

22:53:39*wildlander quit (Quit: Konversation terminated!)
22:56:21FromGitter<rayman22201> @enthus1ast I understand your question now. I think the answer is that there really isn't a good way. Nim is not Javascript. You have to convert across the boundary somehow.
23:02:22FromGitter<iffy> when I try a template like this: ``` ⏎ template sqlList(sql_arr: untyped) = ⏎ ⏎ `````` [https://gitter.im/nim-lang/Nim?at=5ba2d57de6046343f389178d]
23:02:38enthus1astmaybe it would be a good idea to port my code to the native JSON api...
23:02:52FromGitter<iffy> I get "expression 'proc anon(db227039: DbConn) = ... has no type (or is ambiguous)"
23:03:08enthus1astBUT it would be cool if stdlib json would have such a function out of the box :)
23:04:43FromGitter<rayman22201> @enthus1ast maybe try the jsFromAST macro in the jsffi module? https://nim-lang.org/docs/jsffi.html#jsFromAst
23:04:55FromGitter<rayman22201> I'm not sure though
23:05:42FromGitter<rayman22201> @iffy, your proc doesn't have a return type, and the code below wants it to have a return type. I'm looking closer at why
23:06:29FromGitter<iffy> in the template version or the pastebin version? (oh... or both?)
23:08:08enthus1asti think the error is in the context of sqlList
23:08:45enthus1astcould you nopaste where you use sqlList?
23:09:00FromGitter<iffy> what is nopaste?
23:09:36FromGitter<iffy> fwiw, this compiles: ⏎ ⏎ ```code paste, see link``` [https://gitter.im/nim-lang/Nim?at=5ba2d730be4f300626bc14cb]

23:38:53enthus1astok
23:43:59enthus1astthen it must run inside nodejs i guess?
23:44:45*PrimHelios joined #nim
23:49:19FromGitter<kaushalmodi> .. I believe so .. I assumed, which I shouldn't have, that Nim will compile to JS code, which should act as wrapper for that library.. and then "somehow" (I believe using `npm`) that can be converted to a binary.
23:50:00FromGitter<kaushalmodi> Is that plan technically possible?
23:51:33enthus1astyou could compile yourscript.nim to yourscript.js which could be executed by nodejs then
23:52:27enthus1astbut it would not be a standalone executable
23:52:38FromGitter<kaushalmodi> Hmm, OK
