<SeedyROM> Is there anyway to tell YAML.parse to parse all key value pairs as strings? I'm trying to parse a file that is always going to be different. And figuring out stuff with YAML::Any is so annoying. Maybe I'm missing something important here.
<FromGitter>
<girng> what is going on
<FromGitter>
<girng> why do they pick crystal as a target
<FromGitter>
<Sija> @SeedyROM I think `YAML::Schema::FailSafe.parse` is what you’re looking for
<FromGitter>
<girng> @markrjr btw, congrats haha
<FromGitter>
<SeedyROM> @Sija Let me check it out! Thanks for pointing that out, I must have glanced over that.

<SeedyROM> @Sija, now upon loading the YAML document I get this error:
<FromGitter>
<SeedyROM> ```undefined method 'first?' for YAML::Any```
<FromGitter>
<Sija> @girng popularity? name? ask them next time you’ll have a chance (that is before someone hopefully will lock the issue) ;) I’d be interested to know the answer too! maybe it’s a sign of success - Crystal is known enough to make ideological brute-force attacks
<FromGitter>
<SeedyROM> It happens in the cast_document call of the parser, which implies a singular doc. Atleast that's what I'm getting out of the context of the error.
<FromGitter>
<SeedyROM> I know it doesn't have a first, but cast_document is not getting passed a list.
<FromGitter>
<Blacksmoke16> ohh its happening *from* the parse
<FromGitter>
<Blacksmoke16> my bad, i follow you now
<FromGitter>
<Blacksmoke16> prob would help if you posted the yaml in the config file too
<FromGitter>
<SeedyROM> I did.
<FromGitter>
<SeedyROM> It's super basic.
<FromGitter>
<Blacksmoke16> i mean in the issue*
<FromGitter>
<Blacksmoke16> cheers 👍
<FromGitter>
<SeedyROM> :cheers:
<FromGitter>
<SeedyROM> Lol, I don't know how these gitter emoticons work.
<FromGitter>
<Blacksmoke16> only some of the ;)
<FromGitter>
<SeedyROM> I think I just need to be more light handed with my handling of types, I was trying aggressively to get the YAML module to work like it would in a dynamically typed language.
<FromGitter>
<SeedyROM> I think I've been getting spoiled by how most of the time the type system is pretty much hidden.
<FromGitter>
<Blacksmoke16> usually afaik, the rule of thumb is to get away from the `YAML::Any` asap and into like an array of objects or something
<FromGitter>
<Blacksmoke16> can be helpful as well
<FromGitter>
<SeedyROM> I was playing around with that early but couldn't get it to work the way I intended it to, but I'm realizing now I was just being impatient.
<FromGitter>
<SeedyROM> I need to think more about how I want this to work.
<FromGitter>
<Blacksmoke16> thats usually a good first step haha
<FromGitter>
<SeedyROM> I had a good plan for everything else, but I totally messed up on the parsing YAML part haha
<FromGitter>
<Blacksmoke16> is always something

<girng> i want to write an app in either crystal with a small gui library, or use godot. but i want it to to execute 2 commands with 1 click, or click on each button for that specific command to be run. cmd 1: `crystal src/MasterServer.cr` , cmd2 : `crystal src/GameServer.cr`. this would be very beneficial because i'm getting really annoyed of alt-tabbing, or switching to 2 separate console windows when developing
<FromGitter>
<r00ster91> are you on windows?
<FromGitter>
<girng> yeah, W10
<FromGitter>
<girng> @r00ster91 yeah i'll check my code to see and try to change Int to its specific type
<FromGitter>
<fridgerator> You could use docker-compose, you could try Sentry to auto-reload your changes, you could write a crystal script which spins up both processes, etc
<FromGitter>
<r00ster91> ah me too. Unfornately IMO its currently pretty painful to create graphical apps with Crystal on Windows. Because you need to connect the windowing system of bash/linux to the windowing system of Windows 10. I used xming for that. It's very buggy and slow. I would for now use godot or wait for windows support for crystal

hi all. wonder if someone can point me in the right direction - i have a PCM WAV file on disk that i need to pass as a buffer to a C function as `Int16*`. Using `File`, i can `IO#read(slice : Bytes)` (`Slice(UInt8)`) which I of course can't pass as `Int16*`.. what do I need to do to get this as the correct primitive in memory?
wontruefree has quit [Quit: bye]

<Sija> @HarrisonB call me lawless but I do believe that people don’t need any specific set of rules to discern “good” from “bad” or rather right from wrong
<sevensidedmarble>
I've been using this cool parsing library in crystal called CLTK but I haven't quite got it to parse function correctly
<FromGitter>
<HarrisonB> There was a recent sweep of trolling on the crystal issue board on GitHub intended to mock CoCs but I think people took the bait and believed the trolls were people actually trying to enforce CoC-like rules
<FromGitter>
<HarrisonB> @Sija the issue is that without a code in place there's nothing to point to when someone crosses that line
sevensidedmarble has quit [Client Quit]
sevensidedmarble has joined #crystal-lang
<FromGitter>
<Sija> @HarrisonB of course there is, ad-hominem attacks are well known technique and you don’t need any CoC to know and point to that
<FromGitter>
<HarrisonB> Haha, now I'm not *I* follow
<FromGitter>
<Sija> and that’s just one example, being polite, non-emotional and respectful towards others should be pretty obvious thing with no need to “encode it” into any formal document
<FromGitter>
<HarrisonB> totally agree with the *should*. but what do you do when that's violated?
<FromGitter>
<girng> what does `NCoC` stand for?
<FromGitter>
<Sija> I mean, it’s like saying that you should have some formal document in your family to regulate your own behaviour, because otherwise there’s nothing to point to
<FromGitter>
<r00ster91> No Code of Conduct
<FromGitter>
<HarrisonB> @girng @r00ster91 i think it is specifically referring to this document https://github.com/domgetter/NCoC (unless I'm mistaken)
<FromGitter>
<HarrisonB> @Sija the issue is that an Open Source proj isn't like a family, right? It's closer to work. And most places of employment have a handbook in which they outline harassment (in fact, in the US I think you *have* to have such a policy in place)
<FromGitter>
<Sija> well, I don’t agree
<FromGitter>
<elorest> Sure. But the standard is to include Coraline’s Coc, and it’s been demonstrated time and time again that resistance is futile. Sure most people in the community will respond well in most cases without it, and there will still be problems with it. ⏎ ⏎ Essentially it comes down to arguing that since people will follow the code anyway we don’t need it. At which point why not have it?
<FromGitter>
<Sija> it should be like family more like some anonymous, oftenly perverted work relation
<FromGitter>
<Sija> work structures were modeled by some very weird and fucked up ppl for very weird and fucked up reasons
<FromGitter>
<Sija> think: factories
<FromGitter>
<Sija> ford factories in the beginning of 20th century, nazi-s which picked it up later on
<FromGitter>
<HarrisonB> Can't talk for much longer as I'm at work (i'm in the PDT timezone), but I'd be happy to chat about this later
<FromGitter>
<Sija> IMO totally wrong basics to build a healthy community on ;)
<FromGitter>
<Sija> @HarrisonB same here, PM me if you’d talk some more :)
<FromGitter>
<HarrisonB> Last thing I'll say is that most of the policies outlining harassment are completely divorced from any historical origin with factories
<FromGitter>
<HarrisonB> They were reforms to counter the often rampant harassment that took place in those environments

yeah everyone here is way smarter then me lol
<sevensidedmarble>
I feel like there's a stigma about asking help writing parsers and programming languages, because people think if you're writing a parser surely you should know enough to figure it out yourself
<sevensidedmarble>
and I've read all the original instructional stuff over at RLTK in ruby too
<sevensidedmarble>
originally the code that was there worked fine for functions that were only one expression
<sevensidedmarble>
but would break when parsing a function with multiple expressions
sagax has quit [Quit: Konversation terminated!]
<sevensidedmarble>
so I tried to extend it to parse functions that are either one Expression, or an ExpressionList
<sevensidedmarble>
but I haven't had much luck. I've tried a ton of things and usually I'll either get index out of bounds errors when it seems like the grammar is defined wrong in some way, or I can't seem to get it to recognize that an expression list inside a function is actually an expression list
<sevensidedmarble>
even though it does parse an expression list on it's own alright
<FromGitter>
<girng> Hmmmm
<sevensidedmarble>
oh and if anyone wants to run it you can just clone my repo, run `shards install` and run `crystal build src/cryshlang.cr`
<sevensidedmarble>
the other main file `crysh.cr` is just for the temporary shell without the parser. I'm building out the parser seperately and ideally merging it in when it actually works.
<sevensidedmarble>
I guess I probably need one production for a function that takes an Expression and one that takes an ExpressionList
<sevensidedmarble>
but even that didn't seem to work for me (but I'm no expert) and the docs seemed to indicate that it could already take lists as is
<sevensidedmarble>
like an ExpressionList was just an Expression too
<sevensidedmarble>
it does inherit from Expression after all
wontruefree has joined #crystal-lang
<sevensidedmarble>
it seemd really weird to do it like that though
<sevensidedmarble>
and have a whole seperate AST node for `FunctionWithExpression` and `FunctionWithExpressionList`
<sevensidedmarble>
I know it should be possible to do it with only one AST node, and just cast Expressions into ExpressionLists or something...
<sevensidedmarble>
I just can't quite get that working

<sam0x17> if I am linking with an external C library, and there is a struct I need to define in crystal for use with one of the functions in the library, and one of the fields is a pointer to an instance of another (super complicated) struct in said library, can I use a void pointer (will that have the same memory layout?) and if so, how do I do that?
<FromGitter>
<j8r> Do you now you can generated bindings automatically? @sam0x17
<FromGitter>
<kingsleyh> I guess Crystal doesn't know what to do with that String time format - it's a fairly standard iso format though - so I'm surprised the Time library doesn't understand it
