This could be an iOS 18.0 bug (because the Mail app is also somewhat affected by this), but @overcastfm sometimes shows up in light mode in the app switcher after it’s been backgrounded for a while.

@atpfm I just wanted to say that (most?) dictionaries don’t use IPA but rather a simplified form. However, if you can understand it, you can certainly learn the subset of IPA used for English. ☺️

[#]iOS 18 (even the public version 22A3354, which I’ve been running since it was released), feels like beta quality software. I’ve run into so many weird little bugs and inconsistencies.

Except…
“Cannot put a type constraint on an 'our'-scoped variable”
Thankfully, the “variables" pragma seems to apply only to the compilation unit(?) in which it appears, so it's easy enough to move it to a rakumod file.

Of course! I can't believe I missed that. It was right in my face (I was staring at https://docs.raku.org/language/pragmas) all along.
use variables :D;
There we go.

How do I specify the default definedness?
I know it's possible because I've done it before, but I can't recall how to do it. It was something like "use :D;" but that's not quite right…

I wish this (strange) code would show a diagnostic like “Did you mean to pre-declare ‘B’?” rather than “Redeclaration of symbol ‘B’.”
class B {}
class A {
has B $.b;
}
class B {
has Mu $.something; # doesn't matter; i just want to put something here for this example
}
The fix is to create a stub class (class B {…}), but this is not obvious at first glance. (In this case, we could also fix it by merging the two definitions of B and moving B to appear before A, but I can’t do that in my actual code.)

I wrote a quick script to generate a huge fake DNA sequence and to my surprise, say @dna.join is MUCH faster than .print for @dna.

@overcastfm Ooh, Overcast offers a “Sleep After Time Interval” shortcut. That works!
😎😎😎

@overcastfm I’ve started taking longer showers as a workaround.
(One way to fix the timer issue that would work for me would be to add a button that shortens it by one minute at a time.)

@overcastfm Hi Marco! I’m a fan of the redesign! It’s clear that you put a lot of thought and love into it. 🥹
I have one feature request, if I may: could you please bring back custom sleep timers? 🙏🏻 I sometimes set a 2-minute timer when I brush my teeth and I can’t seem to do that anymore. 😔
I also found a tiny bug: if I go to Settings > Theme and toggle(?) Always Use Dark Theme, I can’t open the settings page again until I force quit Overcast.

@simon This is the first time I’ve seen ChatGPT do this. It made me think of an old concept of yours regarding specific legal questions. ☺️

Let's calculate (\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{\sin x}{x}) in #RakuLang!
my $last-result = 0;
for (1, * / 10 ... *) -> $x {
my $result = sin($x) / $x;
LEAVE $last-result = $result;
last if $result ≅ $last-result;
say "x = $x\tsin(x) / x = $result";
}
x = 1 sin(x) / x = 0.8414709848078965
x = 0.1 sin(x) / x = 0.9983341664682815
x = 0.01 sin(x) / x = 0.9999833334166665
x = 0.001 sin(x) / x = 0.9999998333333416
x = 0.0001 sin(x) / x = 0.9999999983333334
x = 0.00001 sin(x) / x = 0.9999999999833332
x = 0.000001 sin(x) / x = 0.9999999999998334
x = 0.0000001 sin(x) / x = 0.9999999999999983
x = 0.00000001 sin(x) / x = 1
👏🏻
I tried to use some unique and advanced Raku features: lazy sequences, phasers, and even Unicode operators.
Lazy sequences: (1, * / 10 ... *) is a sequence of "increasingly small values of 1." 😁
$seq[^4]
(1 0.1 0.01 0.001)
Phasers: A phaser is a block of code that is called during a specific execution phase. The LEAVE phaser is called at the end of each iteration.
Unicode operators: ≅ is the "approximately equal" operator. It's equivalent to =~=.
{ my $*TOLERANCE = 1e-5; 878 / 323 =~= e; }
True

gpt-4o (what a name) is 50% cheaper than gpt-4-turbo. Does that mean prices are being kept artificially low (and thus might rise in the future) or is it actually more efficient (and thus, hopefully, greener)? 🌱 https://openai.com/api/pricing/

I’ve spent some time with im-also-a-good-gpt2-chatbot, but so far it hasn’t blown me away.
It seems worse than GPT-4 Turbo (and it sometimes loses to Llama 3-70B), but it could be VERY interesting if they released the weights (as the name sorta kinda implies?).

TIL that Longyearbyen is named after John Munro Longyear, an American coal mining executive. The fact that the sun does not rise or set for months at a time—causing a “long year”—is seemingly just a happy coincidence.
