someone knows what means "Self type cannot be unified with a closed object type"? i am defining a method of my class calling a external function and passing the object to that function
<dark_light>
like: method receive_irc = let msg = self#receive in incoming self msg
<dark_light>
(Hmmm, i found a type 'a here, i think it's the problem..)
ita has joined #ocaml

<Ballin_05>
usa is everything white/black/mexican etc
<Ballin_05>
dark_light, or i dont want EY man lets go rob the white boy or anything like that
<dark_light>
Ballin_05, i don't see *many* discrimination for very white people, usually people likes to talk with tourists
<Ballin_05>
dark_light, i will be living in brazil maybe for years
<Ballin_05>
this is for work
<Ballin_05>
this is not vacation lol
<dark_light>
doesn't matter, all places i go when there are a people that is not from brazil, the brazillians starts to try to talk in english lol
<Ballin_05>
lol
<Ballin_05>
i have a 3 months porturgese class 8 hours a day 5 days a weeek
<dark_light>
it's funny because sometimes the people comes here to talk in portuguese
<Ballin_05>
i speak french english and spanish
<Ballin_05>
all fluent
<Ballin_05>
in usa you better know how to speak spanish
<Ballin_05>
or you will learn lol
<Smerdyakov>
Ballin_05, that's not even close to true.
<Smerdyakov>
Ballin_05, it all depends on where in the huge USA you live.
<Ballin_05>
Smerdyakov, i dnno where you live
<Ballin_05>
i live in Miami
<Ballin_05>
and i lived in LA
<Ballin_05>
and i lived in Santa Barbara
<Smerdyakov>
It probably also depends on your place on the socioeconomic totem pole.
<Ballin_05>
and in all of those places spanish i here and had to speak almost daily
<Smerdyakov>
Rich people never have to speak languages they don't want to.
<mikeX>
good point
<Ballin_05>
well here where i live spanish will help you
<Smerdyakov>
I've lived in the USA my whole life and never been in any situation (outside of Spanish class in high school) where it was expected that I speak or understand Spanish.
<Ballin_05>
spanish is taught from 1 st grade all the way up to 12th
<Ballin_05>
where idd you live ?
<dark_light>
i know to speak only portuguese :( i can read and write a bit in english, but not hear or speak..
<Smerdyakov>
Allentown, PA; Pittsburgh, PA; Monmouth, NJ; Berkeley, CA; and Redmond, WA
<Ballin_05>
Smerdyakov, spanish and english are offical languages of california
<Ballin_05>
you must have never went outside
<Smerdyakov>
Ballin_05, that has no practical effect on me.
<Ballin_05>
i dunno man come ot miami and just spend a day in south beach
<Ballin_05>
i would call it more Spanglish
<Smerdyakov>
Miami is a tiny slice of the USA.
<Ballin_05>
its in the top 10 biggest citys
<Ballin_05>
but santa babra LA san diego
<Smerdyakov>
And I bet the situation is very different around, for instance, the University of Miami.
<Ballin_05>
SF .....sacramento
<Smerdyakov>
If there is one :)
<Ballin_05>
i lived in cali for years
<Smerdyakov>
You must have been in lower class circles economically
<Ballin_05>
of course there is one of the most popular colleges around
<Ballin_05>
Smerdyakov, its clear you dont kow ;) i lived in sotuh beach
<Ballin_05>
south*
<Smerdyakov>
You're right. I have no idea what that is.
<Ballin_05>
i was in a upper middle class
<Ballin_05>
alot of street signs all through florida is in spanish
<Ballin_05>
enmglish is everywhere too
<Smerdyakov>
Everyone I've lived has been based around the presence of a serious research university or serious multi-national megacorporation.
<Ballin_05>
but i would say most of people down here have a good firm grip of spanish
<Smerdyakov>
In those settings, there is _no_ concept of "everyone knows Spanish."
<Ballin_05>
Smerdyakov, we come from two different worlds ;)
<Ballin_05>
i have lived in numerous countires also maybe i reconoize i more
<Ballin_05>
and Puerto Rico spanish is mostly spoken there also
<Ballin_05>
spanish is super easy anyways can be learned in a few months ....... forgoet all that highschool bullshit
<Smerdyakov>
That may be, but your assertion is still clearly wrong.
<Smerdyakov>
It's fair to say that you need to know English to get on in 99% of the USA, but not fair to say that about Spanish.
<Ballin_05>
i dont care ..........i am speaking of where i live and anyone where i have lived will agree spanish is widely spoken
<Ballin_05>
spanish was an exxageration
<Ballin_05>
but in many areas it helps
<Smerdyakov>
Well, look, most of the cities you named have Spanish names.
<Smerdyakov>
Not exactly a random sampling
<dark_light>
Ballin_05, well, for me it's easy to understand, but i still can't speak or write in spanish
<Ballin_05>
Smerdyakov, whattt?
<Ballin_05>
the SPanish Conuered / DISCOVERED lol USA
<Smerdyakov>
Santa Barbara, Los Angeles, and San Diego are Spanish names.
<Ballin_05>
spanish cities EVERywhere
<Smerdyakov>
No.
<Ballin_05>
was this not aspanish colony
<Ballin_05>
yes

omg dude ..........england came over when the job was done
<Smerdyakov>
Many Spanish names in states like California, Texas, and Florida, but not so much elsewhere.
<Ballin_05>
and re named a bunch of cities
<Smerdyakov>
It doesn't matter if the cities are _re_named. I'm talking about their names today.
<Ballin_05>
many PA cities had spanish names
<Smerdyakov>
The fact that they were renamed shows that Spanish influence had become negligible there.
<Ballin_05>
they were re named by englkand took over
<Ballin_05>
england
<love-pingoo>
How to get values defined in a .mly visible in the generated .mli ?

I used to do dirty hacks for that, but I'm sure there is a clean solution.

Smerdyakov, western usa and south western and south east all have a very hgih spanish influence
<Smerdyakov>
Ballin_05, sure, but that's not even half of the USA's population.
<Ballin_05>
only part that really has not colonial feel ........england feel is the northeast
<Ballin_05>
Nevada - New mexico - California - Colorado - Texas - Oklahoma - missisippi - arizona flrodia GA
<Ballin_05>
all have spanish names
<Ballin_05>
plus about another 20 i didnt mention
<Smerdyakov>
Members of the computer technology jetset happen to live most often in areas where Spanish is a second-class language. That's just how it is.
<Ballin_05>
all im saying is the spanish doscered and conquered the US and most states have a strong influence except the northeast
<Ballin_05>
and i dont mean mexican .... i mean spanish
<Smerdyakov>
I was only talking about present-day names, not historical influences.
<Smerdyakov>
I argue that the fact that a city kept its Spanish name indicates that Spanish is more important there than average.
<dark_light>
Smerdyakov, well, i give up to try objects

dark_light, that's wonderful to hear. :)
<dark_light>
Smerdyakov, you suggest i store the informations of the connection in a record? storing in a record is painful because of the method to access the values, like mycon.IRC.ip
<Ballin_05>
Smerdyakov, english is most widely spoken i agree but i agree in western and south wesnter and south east USA spanish will and could be a daily event
<Smerdyakov>
dark_light, you can open IRC, or you can switch to SML.
<Smerdyakov>
Ballin_05, only if you want it to be. It's very easy to get by in almost any part of the USA without understanding any Spanish.
<dark_light>
and, i might don't use a record. (but maybe i will end up doing open IRC, what is ugly)
<Ballin_05>
Smerdyakov, not going to argue anymore of course you could find an english speaker but in many places it would make it easier to understand and speak spanish
<Smerdyakov>
dark_light, anonymous records. Instead of (mycon.IRC.ip), you use (#ip mycon).
<Ballin_05>
what are you anti spanish or something lol

<Ballin_05>
but it will help yuou in some regualt everyday situations
<Ballin_05>
stores etc
<dark_light>
Smerdyakov, hmm
<Ballin_05>
plus by talking in spanglish you cna shoten your sentence s down quite a bit
<Smerdyakov>
If you live around a major research university, then if you find a store like that, the owner would probably like to know, to fire the person who has trouble with English.
<Ballin_05>
voy al store
<Ballin_05>
to go to the store
<dark_light>
Ballin_05, eheheh :)
<Ballin_05>
most p[eople do not live arouns major univercity and please come to the univ. of miami its very huge
<dark_light>
Ballin_05, here some of my professors speaks "portuñol"
<Ballin_05>
english and spanish are acceptable languages ot be spoken
<Smerdyakov>
Ballin_05, I'm not talking about size; I'm talking about prestige.
