 das_j | isn't it enough to just my (a, b) = @_? | 15:17:21 |
| das_j | That should warn when a variable is not defined or am I wrong here? | 15:17:36 |
 @grahamc:nixos.org | lmao that is a top tier perl troll | 15:17:47 |
| das_j | huh? I really don't know any better :D | 15:18:00 |
| @grahamc:nixos.org | well for one you can't use $a and $b | 15:18:10 |
| @grahamc:nixos.org | two it'll just undef all the rest I think | 15:18:35 |
| das_j | oh wow | 15:18:39 |
 sterni | if you call that function with just one arg b is just undef is the problem | 15:18:45 |
| sterni | at least you can't do $foo if it was never declared | 15:19:03 |
| sterni | and virtually every function will do something half reasonable with undef so it ends up failing in a completely different place usually | 15:19:29 |
| @grahamc:nixos.org | https://github.com/NixOS/hydra/pull/1004 | 15:19:36 |
| @grahamc:nixos.org | you can define prototypes | 15:21:25 |
| @grahamc:nixos.org | to say what arguments it requires and vaguely what type it is expecting, but you can't do this for -> called subs | 15:22:39 |
| sterni | so that's 99% of hydra | 15:30:42 |
| @grahamc:nixos.org | yup | 15:31:03 |
| sterni | unfortunately I think using the “oop” style of Perl is the only maintainable way | 15:35:42 |
| sterni | since without enforcing an interface it is probably really hard to keep data structures consistent | 15:36:06 |

 lukegb (he/him) | one of these days I'll fix the JS bug in the build dependencies tab | 19:28:09 |
| lukegb (he/him) | (it's been broken since the change to load tab content dynamically, I think) | 19:28:21 |
| @grahamc:nixos.org | what is that bug? | 19:52:00 |
| lukegb (he/him) | the tree is supposed to collapse | 19:56:37 |
| lukegb (he/him) | but it doesn't, because the JS only runs when the page loads and not when the tab loads | 19:56:47 |
| das_j | wdym by collapse? | 19:58:00 |

| lukegb (he/him) | as in, it's not supposed to show the entire tree at once :P | 19:58:24 |
| das_j | for me it looks normal with the tree fully expanded and no way to collapse anything | 19:58:32 |
| das_j | Did it ever do something else? | 19:58:37 |
| lukegb (he/him) | right | 19:58:37 |
