00:42:08FromDiscord<exelotl> In reply to @ElegantBeef "Before Nim i didnt": it's strange that Lua has it only for tables and strings
00:42:43FromDiscord<exelotl> so you can do `print "hello"` but not `print 123` or `print myVar`
00:42:59FromDiscord<exelotl> (edit) "tables" => "table" | "strings" => "string literals"
00:43:25FromDiscord<ElegantBeef> Odd

01:03:45*motersen joined #nim
01:05:51FromDiscord<ajusa> Hm, not sure how to do that with chronicles though, as I assume that the JSON serialization stuff is handled somewhere in their library code. I ended up switch to a sequence itself, that I can parse into a table later

01:13:05FromDiscord<timotheecour> (edit) "though" => "though, which `myTable.toJson` avoids"
01:14:14FromDiscord<treeform> My library also serializes Json and handles Tables correctly and it can be very fast: https://github.com/treeform/jsony
01:15:02FromDiscord<treeform> If there is some type it does not handle right you can write a `dumpHook()` for your type to serialize just how want it.
01:40:38PrestigeIs there a high precision sleep function (for nanoseconds)?
01:45:00*Tlangir joined #nim
01:51:13FromDiscord<timotheecour> posix.nanosleep but ideally should be exposed in os.nim via `sleep(t: Duration)` as overload of `sleep(milsecs: int)`
01:54:24FromDiscord<ajusa> In reply to @treeform "My library also serializes": Yep, I just switched to using that for JSON parsing, saw a 4x speedup over jsonutils. Unfortunately I wrote my code with nim chronicles for logging, which means that I can't control the JSON output from there. I'll probably write my own logging implementation at some point in the future with the few things that I need, but `jsony` is fantastic!
02:14:21PrestigeWeird, is there no way to convert a Time object like you can with Duration?
02:15:33FromDiscord<treeform> Prestige, I don't think there is a way to tell the OS to sleep exact amount of time.
02:15:49PrestigeI'm past that
02:16:11FromDiscord<treeform> A trick I used in the past is to sleep until about 100ms then I while loop and keep the CPU busy till I get exact timing.
02:16:40FromDiscord<treeform> Then I can get very accurate sleep times at cost of spinning the CPU for no reason.
02:18:47Prestigeatm I'm trying to getTime() and have the value be in nanoseconds
02:19:10PrestigeI seem to not be able to get the number of seconds from the Time object to convert it
02:22:18FromDiscord<treeform> I recommending using `std/monotimes`
02:22:43FromDiscord<treeform> `getMonoTime().ticks`
02:23:09FromDiscord<treeform> that gives you nanoseconds.
02:23:14FromDiscord<treeform> https://nim-lang.org/docs/monotimes.html#getMonoTime
02:24:00FromDiscord<ElegantBeef> Well you can do `getTime().nanosecond` if you just want the ns, but if you want to convert it to ns good luck 😄
02:24:37PrestigeYeah that's just the nanoseconds past the current second, I think I need what treeform just linked
02:33:28FromDiscord<rvbg> Hi, I want to get the current URL from httpclient newHttpClient. Any ideas?
02:34:06FromDiscord<ElegantBeef> What do you mean the current url?
02:34:41FromDiscord<ElegantBeef> Ah nvm i see 😄
02:36:48FromDiscord<ElegantBeef> It's not actually exposed that i can see
02:37:53FromDiscord<treeform> don't you pass it the url?
02:38:16FromDiscord<ElegantBeef> Yea it's a bit odd considering that, but it does store the url internally
02:39:20FromDiscord<rvbg> The http request is redirected and I want to get the new URL
02:39:45FromDiscord<rvbg> (edit) "The http request is ... redirected" added "getting"
02:50:03FromDiscord<rvbg> If there is no way to get the new url in that way, I guess getting the 301 location first and then the content of the grabbed location would be the best solution.
02:50:24FromGitter<BracketMaster> does nim have a sliding window iterator? I have an array [1,2,3,4] and would like to do something like ``for i in slide([1,2,3,4], 2)`` where i yields [1,2], [2,3], [3,4], [4,1]
02:51:01FromGitter<BracketMaster> if not, wouldn't take long for me to implement something I suppose
02:52:04FromDiscord<ElegantBeef> I dont believe it does
02:52:26FromDiscord<Rika> 3rd party library
02:52:34FromDiscord<Rika> Think it's in itertools

03:35:35Lord_NightmareF*** this s***, I'm out. What network is the IRC bridge moving to, if I might ask?
03:35:52Lord_Nightmaresince this network is about to implode in the next 24 hours, if not less.
03:36:06FromDiscord<ElegantBeef> You should be able to bracket
03:36:29FromDiscord<ElegantBeef> I believe it was decided on superbia or similarly named, plus there is matrix + shittydiscord 😄
03:41:10FromGitter<BracketMaster> Where might i find info in HSlice? I want to access its upper and lower bounds
03:41:24FromGitter<BracketMaster> oh
03:41:25FromGitter<BracketMaster> a and b
03:41:27FromGitter<BracketMaster> nvm
03:44:05FromDiscord<ElegantBeef> Yea it's kinda unexpected, until you realize low/high wouldnt work cause it's just a general `a` to `b` type
03:44:27FromDiscord<ElegantBeef> I know i was a bit annoyed for a few seconds trying to find the value's names 😄
03:45:36FromDiscord<ElegantBeef> And if using homogeneous a/b `Slice[T]` is an alias to `Hslice[T, T]`

03:54:29FromGitter<BracketMaster> JS is yuck
03:55:15FromGitter<BracketMaster> in response to native integration of Nim and JS/TS ^^
03:57:28FromDiscord<ElegantBeef> Well we have a js backend as you probably know, so be the change you want in the world 😄
04:01:36FromGitter<BracketMaster> Sure, I'm just not sure how a pull request for "replace V8 with Nim" would be recieved on Chromium...
04:01:39FromGitter<BracketMaster> Well, I am sure
04:01:41FromGitter<BracketMaster> It wouldn't
04:17:34FromDiscord<ElegantBeef> Sure, but we can atleast use Nim as a JS writer so we dont suffer as much

08:11:24FromDiscord<quarternion> Hi, I have some experience with multi-thread programming in C++. I have trouble understanding the behavior of `Thread` object in nim. 1) What is the effect of copying thread object (in C++ thread is move only)? 2) Is it undefined behavior to can `joinThread` on same thread multiple times? 3) What is the corresponding `detach` method in nim? Thanks ahead.
08:14:11FromDiscord<quarternion> I read the 'threads` section and the module documentation, but couldn't find a answer to it.
08:17:43FromGitter<bung87> what does it do in c++ `detach`
08:21:44FromGitter<bung87> I googled it , it looks like `createThread` does
08:23:16FromDiscord<quarternion> But in c++, if you can `detach` on a thread, you cannot join the thread. In nim, you can join that thread after calling `createThread`
08:23:28FromDiscord<quarternion> (edit) "can" => "call"
08:23:34FromDiscord<quarternion> `s/can/call`
08:24:50FromGitter<bung87> your problem is prevent mis-used?
08:24:53FromDiscord<quarternion> I just found you can edit your message by calling regular expressions. `s/can/call` actually works. That's powerful
08:24:58FromDiscord<quarternion> yes
08:27:01FromGitter<bung87> have no idea now, if code all write by yours self , you just need dont call joinThread by your self. and I dont see the use case you provide thread object as api to other developer.

09:22:59FromDiscord<ElegantBeef> Yea it's odd, but the data is proper https://play.nim-lang.org/#ix=3nUi
09:25:40nphgIsn't buffer already a pointer? I.e. shouldn't the code use `buffer` instead of `buffer.addr`?
09:26:36nphgA pointer the `alloc`ed memory, I mean
09:27:52FromDiscord<jseb> well i was thinking this too, but copyMem seems to need pointer on pointer
09:28:16FromDiscord<ElegantBeef> No they're right, https://play.nim-lang.org/#ix=3nUl

10:37:51FromGitter<BracketMaster> I created a sliding window iterator in nim, the first group of statements at the bottom work, the second don't: https://play.nim-lang.org/#ix=3nUC
10:38:04FromGitter<BracketMaster> The second fails with: ``type mismatch: got <seq[int]> but expected 'array[0..2, int]'``
10:41:18PMunchYes because T is set by your `items` argument to be an array of three integers, but your yields use slices which are sequences
10:43:01PMunchYou might be able to make it return an array if you make `interval` a `static[int]` type, since arrays need to have static sizes. Otherwise you could just say that the return type is always a sequence
10:43:58PMunchLike this for example: https://play.nim-lang.org/#ix=3nUH (just changed the signature of the iterator and uncommented the previously not working bit)
10:44:04PMunch^ BracketMaster
10:50:12FromGitter<kaushalmodi> @BracketMaster The itertools package has a `windowed`, which is a sliding window iterator.

12:43:43FromDiscord<mlokis> In reply to @Rika "maybe? but then you'd": One boolean on the start of the buffer should be enough
12:44:12FromDiscord<Rika> or maybe you can somehow skip the type information

13:38:11nphgkaushalmodi: no idea
13:39:06FromGitter<kaushalmodi> nphg: Thanks, though. Your suggestion unblocks me for now to continue developing that POC. To make it usable, I'll need to be able to use the `=>` so that it doesn't become overly verbose
13:41:29nphgthat would mean no needing the pragma or extending `=>` to support pragmas
13:43:06FromGitter<kaushalmodi> I am trying to mimic this constraint block in SystemVerilog where those a, b, c, d are rand variables: ⏎ ⏎ ```code paste, see link``` ⏎ ⏎ I can see that each semi-colon separate constraint would be kind of a boolean returning proc in Nim.. now just to figure out how to make that as concise as above [https://gitter.im/nim-lang/Nim?at=60ae5069850bfa2d3be4e7d8]

13:57:27FromGitter<BracketMaster> PMunch: thx for your example^^, also, what is ``runnableExamples`` in your code? : https://play.nim-lang.org/#ix=3nUK
13:57:46FromGitter<BracketMaster> thx
13:59:01Oddmonger@Rika : hum in a simple test case, it works, so it must be something else, i continue to search
13:59:22PMunchAh, runnableExamples is code that will be put into the documentation (## is how you make a documentation comment in Nim). But unlike an example that is just written out in the comment it will actually be compiled and run when you generate the documentation. So if you write your examples with an `assert` in them they will fail if you change something and the example is no longer correct :)
13:59:51FromDiscord<Encrypted Backpack> Isn't talking through webhooks against the Discord API ToS?
14:00:44PMunchTry to run `nim doc` on my example, it will create documentation for that module where you can see the example and the output of `nim doc` will show you that the example was run
14:00:56FromGitter<BracketMaster> rust has something like runnable examples
14:00:57FromGitter<BracketMaster> very nice
14:01:06FromGitter<BracketMaster> are there other languages with things like this?

14:11:10FromDiscord<ajusa> Anyone know how to get the output of a command with any color output? If I just use `execCmdEx` and echo the returned output, all color formatting seems to be stripped.
14:14:58FromDiscord<Rika> im pretty sure most commands disable color when it detects its not running on a terminal
14:15:24FromDiscord<Rika> so your first hurdle is to trick commands into thinking theyre running on a terminal
14:16:02FromDiscord<ajusa> ah, even when I pass in an explicit `--color` flag? This is for the `diff` command btw
14:16:33FromDiscord<ajusa> or is it possible for me to have them directly print to the command line itself?
14:17:14ForumUpdaterBotNew thread by Leeooox: How to test exceptions with unittest?, see https://forum.nim-lang.org/t/8041
14:17:53FromDiscord<Rika> diff will give color when `diff ... --color=always`
14:18:05FromDiscord<Rika> are you not getting color given that?
14:18:47FromDiscord<ajusa> ... that worked, thanks! I thought it was just the `--color` flag that was needed, I guess `always` skips the terminal support color check
14:19:00FromDiscord<Rika> yes
14:19:10FromDiscord<Rika> --color by itself is invalid
14:19:19FromDiscord<Rika> and the default value is `auto`

15:49:20*NimBot joined #nim
15:49:28FromDiscord<Zachary Carter> Nim compiles to C and then invokes the native C compiler on your system to produce an executable
15:49:38FromDiscord<Zachary Carter> You need to find the code that nim generated - what operating system are you on?
15:49:41FromDiscord<Encrypted Backpack> In reply to @James "Self-bots are against Discord": So the webhooks talking earlier we're just sent by bots that picked up user messages in a different channel/guild?

16:00:02FromDiscord<James> In reply to @Encrypted Backpack "So the webhooks talking": Yeah, they’re bridging IRC and Gitter with Discord. What the community guidelines are trying to prevent is people using the bot api to create a 3rd party Discord client.
