01:17:50FromDiscord<MDuardo> Does this work for that?↵https://nim-lang.org/docs/httpclient.html
01:20:01FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> `downloadFile` exists
01:20:03FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Or you can use `get`

02:20:32Amun-RaC project what shoul've been a shell script
02:26:05FromDiscord<zumi.dxy> maybe he's a mad lad
02:26:15FromDiscord<zumi.dxy> what about C as a scripting language
02:28:10FromDiscord<MDuardo> With manual memory management and all that stuff?↵(@zumi.dxy)
02:28:20FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Exactly!
02:28:24FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Dynamically load it and leak away
02:29:46FromDiscord<MDuardo> Now I don't know if should keep it in Nim or just make it a Bash script
02:29:55FromDiscord<MDuardo> 🤔
02:34:26FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Using Nim gives you a crossplatform binary
02:35:57FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Using bash gives you a headache and forces you to depend on programs
02:35:58FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Though you're using the stdlib httpclient so yea it also has deps
02:35:59FromDiscord<MDuardo> This would probably be useless in a normal computer
02:35:59FromDiscord<MDuardo> Yeah, but I only need it for Termux↵Which is ARM64
02:36:04FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Right then write it for the default shell script of termux
02:36:27FromDiscord<zumi.dxy> I tried to use Nimscript↵it isn't good for everything :(↵↵So I just use Nim instead
02:36:55FromDiscord<zumi.dxy> in particular docutils don't work with Nimscript yet
02:38:13FromDiscord<zumi.dxy> I wonder if this is the virtue of actual scripting languages, fast prototyping esp. for quick and dirty scripts
02:38:41FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> You can write normal Nim as fast as scripting languages so who knows 😄
02:39:35FromDiscord<zumi.dxy> Python just so happens to have a rich stdlib and a rich ecosystem, so people end up building megastructures on top of it↵A scripting language↵Even torturing themselves to code somewhere else and use FFI for the tiniest bit of performance
02:40:05FromDiscord<zumi.dxy> Well that's writing, what about compiling
02:40:11Amun-Raalways try to use the right tool for the job
02:40:33FromDiscord<zumi.dxy> Nim is plenty fast to compile, but isn't quite as snappy for scripting purposes
02:41:02FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> It's fine for scripting purposes
02:41:27FromDiscord<MDuardo> Is NimScript slow or something?↵I used it two or three times, works fine for me
02:41:27FromDiscord<zumi.dxy> In reply to @Amun-Ra "always try to use": I mean, obviously↵I think some people say "no such thing as right tool for the job, use Our Thing for everything"↵(but not here thankfully)
02:41:42FromDiscord<zumi.dxy> well it's not slow
02:42:02FromDiscord<zumi.dxy> I just wish it's a little bit "snappier"
02:44:47Amun-RaI've never find a use for nimscript yet, what do you mean by snappier? what nimscript lacks in your opinion?
02:45:13FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Nimscript lacks a lot of basic features, cannot even cast a set to an int!
02:45:33Amun-Rauch, that's a no go for me
02:45:37Amun-Raouch*
02:46:07FromDiscord<MDuardo> Hope NimScript gets better↵It's a bit basic for now
02:46:25FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> It's not the focus of development so it's not likely
03:36:28FromDiscord<zumi.dxy> You'd be better off just using Nim

12:25:39FromDiscord<ieltan> I'd say though you shouldn't need the `[]`?
12:25:49FromDiscord<nocturn9x> it's a ref type
12:26:06FromDiscord<nocturn9x> iirc `==` compares pointers for refs?

15:33:10FromDiscord<the_real_hypno> But i thought its a good example for when using "return" instead of result is a good thing

18:28:34FromDiscord<Phil> The Problem that I see here given nim's static type system is that each Node needs a ref to its parent.↵However, if you have a ref to the parent, you'll also need to contain all of its generic types. Which means your type needs to have all of its generic types and may include another one of its own. And that just stacks along the way

18:40:16FromDiscord<Phil> I can't even conceptualize what that would look like
18:40:43FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Closure generators that capture the data and return a value
18:41:36FromDiscord<the_real_hypno> Is there a way to determine the needed size of a variable inside a sequence which hasnt been specified?↵↵Like, if i do [0x90, 0x90, 0x90] be it array or sequence, its always 3x sizeof(int)
18:41:51FromDiscord<the_real_hypno> while i personally would have expected uint8 so 3x3
18:42:32FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> `0x90u8`
18:42:37FromDiscord<the_real_hypno> or can i possible reject the given values if they have been guessed by the compiler?
18:42:47FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> The first one tells the rest how to type
18:42:50FromDiscord<the_real_hypno> In reply to @Elegantbeef "`0x90u8`": yes but im not on the "writer" side
18:43:03FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> What does that even mean
18:43:54FromDiscord<the_real_hypno> Well, im working with memory writing and reading and try to make it as convienient and secure as possible. And i can see a user doing exactly this: [0x90, 0x90, 0x90]
18:44:07FromDiscord<the_real_hypno> And that would harm, which it shouldnt
18:44:25FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> So write a proc that takes `var openArray[byte]`
18:44:31FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Though why would the above be an issue?
18:44:48FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> `sizeof(mySeq[0]) mySeq.len` works just fine

18:54:50FromDiscord<Phil> In reply to @Elegantbeef "Closure generators that capture": I may just be too mentally dead to imagine how that'd look like, apologies
19:05:38FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> @the_real_hypno you're using `if` not `when`
19:05:59FromDiscord<the_real_hypno> oh my god
19:06:20FromDiscord<the_real_hypno> Thanks, you saved me from a lot of hacky boundary checks
19:07:01FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Also `T is openArray` I don't think will pass
19:07:18FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Unless you do `myProc(myArg.toOpenArray(a, b))`
19:08:21FromDiscord<the_real_hypno> It took `seq[array[3, int]] = @[[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6], [7, 8, 9]]`
19:08:31FromDiscord<the_real_hypno> but i didnt try something else
19:09:01FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Right but `assert [1, 2, 3] isnot openArray[int]`
19:09:28FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> `openArray` is not a generic typeclass it's a type containers implicitly convert to
19:10:36FromDiscord<the_real_hypno> I think its even useless to check for openArray type right? As far as i know `if typeof(T) is seq:` already gladly accepts array
19:10:37FromDiscord<the_real_hypno> (edit) "array" => "arrays"
19:10:51FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> No it does not accept arrays
19:11:11FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> `assert [1, 2, 3] isnot seq`
19:11:45FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Really what you're doing seems best to be done by an intermediate proc
19:11:55FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Have a proc that does your operations but takes in `addr, size`
19:12:25FromDiscord<the_real_hypno> yes that would have been my next attempt: One proc that can get feed everything

20:43:46FromDiscord<wileycoleman> Image doesn't work obviously.
20:43:52FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> You load the image into a pixbuff
20:44:14FromDiscord<wileycoleman> how please?
20:45:24FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> There is the Picture example
20:45:24FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> https://github.com/can-lehmann/owlkettle/blob/3c08d1cadd0042caee0af6dcdce429ba9ecdddbe/examples/widgets/picture.nim#L178
20:45:56FromDiscord<wileycoleman> (edit) "please?" => "to display a picture with a pixbuf. I can't figure out how to convert an in memory image object to a pixbuf."
20:47:09FromDiscord<wileycoleman> In reply to @Elegantbeef "https://github.com/can-lehmann/owlkettle/blob/3c08d": Yes I saw that example, what is missing is how to plug in an in memory image object...
20:51:08FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> `newPixBuf`
20:51:42FromDiscord<Phil> https://github.com/can-lehmann/owlkettle/blob/3c08d1cadd0042caee0af6dcdce429ba9ecdddbe/owlkettle/bindings/gtk.nim#L545 ↵One of these might do the trick
20:54:57FromDiscord<Phil> https://github.com/can-lehmann/owlkettle/blob/3c08d1cadd0042caee0af6dcdce429ba9ecdddbe/owlkettle/widgets.nim#L648↵↵Never mind we have some higher level wrappers
20:57:43FromDiscord<wileycoleman> I will try this later, its seems rather complicated versus loading from a file.
20:58:43FromDiscord<Phil> I will admit it's only mildly higher level than the GTK API itself and that's really not centered around image stuff

22:27:27FromDiscord<can.l> In reply to @wileycoleman "I know how to": You need the overload with a `data` argument: https://github.com/can-lehmann/owlkettle/blob/main/owlkettle/widgets.nim#L660 Not sure if this is helpful, but here is an example where I use newPixbuf to convert the contents of a cairo context to a Pixbuf: https://github.com/can-lehmann/Graphing/blob/main/src/graphing.nim#L977-L982
22:33:10FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> @can.l before I delve into the docs does gtk have a constructor that includes stride?
22:33:29FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Ah it does I see from phils
22:33:36FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> I should click links 😄
22:34:10FromDiscord<can.l> In reply to @Elegantbeef "<@893965307171979326> before I delve": Maybe rowstride: https://docs.gtk.org/gdk-pixbuf/ctor.Pixbuf.new_from_data.html
22:34:47FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> If that was exposed you could do `cast[ptr UncheckedArray[int8]].toOpenArray(0, len - 1)` and supply `stride = 4` without copying
22:35:24FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Wait nevermind that's row stride
22:35:24FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Ugh
22:35:44FromDiscord<can.l> In the graphing app?
22:35:54FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Yea
22:37:05FromDiscord<can.l> The issue is that on little endian systems, the channel order is exactly oppsoite of what it needs to be 😐
22:37:18FromDiscord<can.l> (edit) "oppsoite" => "opposite"
22:37:55FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Right, the GTK api should specify order aswell, shame
22:38:29FromDiscord<can.l> Yeah, this should be part of https://docs.gtk.org/gdk-pixbuf/enum.Colorspace.html
22:38:33FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Should specify order, stride and rowstride to allow loading just `r` from `rgba` or `argb`, ....
22:38:36FromDiscord<can.l> i.e. there should probably COLORSPACE_BGR
22:38:41FromDiscord<can.l> (edit) "i.e. there should probably ... COLORSPACE_BGR" added "be"

22:43:43FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> There we go
22:43:43FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> There's no way to only upload the `r` channel of a texture in opengl aswell so I'm probably living in a pipedream world 😄
22:43:57FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Opengl does have BGR
22:44:11FromDiscord<can.l> Huh, the bridge just glitched...
22:44:26FromDiscord<can.l> I did not receive all your messages until now.
22:44:34FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> It does that occasionally
22:44:37FromDiscord<can.l> (edit) "I did not receive all your ... messages" added "related to opengl"
22:44:48FromDiscord<can.l> (edit) "I did not receive all your ... related" added "messages" | removed "messages"
22:44:54FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> One day someone can write a proper bridge using my matrix API 🙂
22:45:45FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> In the meantime everyone should use matrix!

22:57:41FromDiscord<wileycoleman> However since I want to load a whole lot of these images, it seems inefficient to keep loading from the file every time. I was hoping to load once then crop from that.
23:01:05FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> cache the image then crop it
23:04:27FromDiscord<can.l> You can use an `afterBuild` hook, if you want to assign multiple fields of a viewable based on a common `alltiles` pixbuf: https://can-lehmann.github.io/owlkettle/book/internals/hooks/after_build_hook.html
23:04:37FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> sent a code paste, see https://play.nim-lang.org/#pasty=BSsjNmBMbUXs
23:06:44FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> That code expanded will cache all pixbufs you want, including crops of crops
23:06:59FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Just draw the rest of the owl
23:07:45FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Though I might be in too deep since i've been caching everything I can for my present project

23:08:44FromDiscord<wileycoleman> Thanks! I will dig into this more later on. I appreciate all the help from everyone.
23:08:53FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> In hindsight I could suggest my kashae 😄
23:09:25FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> `proc loadCachedImage(img: ImageEntry) {.cached.}` would be all that requires 😄
23:09:36FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Though it of course would always load `path` before cropping
