Nimpretty GitHub Action

This is badass dude

Nimbus -> Ethereum 2 launch is imminent 12PM UTC.

Is there somewhere to see/show server stats for the Nim nodes? I imagine there's security implications, but having a status page showing some sanitized stats would be awesome. Something like: "running XYZ GFLOPs/Packets/EthBlocks of Nim based Ethereum2 peers" would be an easy way to show off Nim

Advent of Nim 2020 megathread

Here's my GitHub [repository](https://github.com/digitalcraftsman/advent-of-code-2020) for AoC 2020. Sometimes you find some small but useful utility function in the standard library that you've never used before. For those who don't know Nim's std lib in and out I often search [the index](htt

Maybe, I dunno, I can edit everything. :P What do you want me to change for you?

BinGod new framework for serializing binary files

**Repo** : Well after making [eminim](https://github.com/planetis-m/eminim) JSON serializer, I just had to, it was so much easier with the experience gained :) ** Usage** import std/streams, bingod type Foo = ref object

Macros that compose (and work well with auto-completion tooling)

Some ideas how to evolve Nim's macro system further:

Package level scope

And even if it does cause a bug every second full moon, you have to weight that against the constant development friction -- "should I use package level visibility? protected? private?" added on top of the other choices you have to make -- "which type to use for this? how to name this field?" an

Package level scope

The Mac OS and Windows APIs are not written in Nim and offer an ABI, not just an API. And the undocumented APIs were used because there were no other better alternatives provided... There is no proof whatsoever that a comment like "for internal use only, use public API X instead" doesn't suffic

Look at Krita, awesome app and uses Qt, not everything is garbage :|

Package level scope

> Bugs don't arise from visibility violations. Bugs arise from package clients using internal APIs that were not intended to be public but had to be exported to get around this language limitation, because * The API only works in the limited way it's used inside the package and blows up for o

Help with Gui programming in for a beginner

To help yourself decide, take a look at apps written with various frameworks (screenshots or preferably live) and judge their look and feel. I've done quite a bit of GUI-framework stuff in the past, and I've found that * It's not hard to write a crappy framework for one platform. * It's a lo

Unicode "sortkey" API?

I won't be much use to you but for other readers that may wonder what ICU is: (atleast that was what google gave me)

If I forget to set the category of a thread while writing the initial post, and then try to change it afterwards, I just get an error "You cannot edit this thread".

Unicode "sortkey" API?

I'm looking for an implementation of Unicode "sortkeys" as found in ICU. > Sort key generation - used when a very large set of strings are > compared/sorted repeatedly: APIs return a zero-terminated array of bytes per > string known as a sort key. The keys can be compared directly using strcmp o

I'm getting: 'could not receive data from client: Connection reset by peer' on server side. At nim side I get this: Exception message: Exception type: [DbError] The code tried to receive message from web_socket server and insert into postgresql: await ws.send($wslogin_data)

Package level scope

Okay, thank you for confirming my suspicions.

Package level scope

There is no fine grained visibility control in Nim. (Because I found it a constant distraction in Java and C#. Bugs don't arise from visibility violations.) Typically you export the fields other modules need.

Thanks, @miran \-- it turns out I had two AoC accounts, one tied to github and one to reddit. I started this year with the "wrong one." So, I restarted with the other account and now see the private leaderboard. Thanks!

Writing a string into a source file compile time

and @pietroppeter exactly what I needed. Thank you so much.

Regex extracting string between two words not working

bumping this in case you are still wondering after 1 year... the answer is that using seq does not work in `re.match` and you have to know beforehand the exact length of the matches array. This is an acknowledge bug (which `nre` does not have): (see

Writing a string into a source file compile time

you can use [compile-time define pragmas](https://nim-lang.org/docs/manual.html#implementation-specific-pragmas-compileminustime-define-pragmas) something like: const myFilename {.strdefine.} = "firmware.elf" # default value firmwareFile = staticRead(myFilename)

Writing a string into a source file compile time

you can use a [strdefine](https://nim-lang.org/docs/manual.html#implementation-specific-pragmas-compileminustime-define-pragmas): const FirmwarePath {.strdefine.} = "defaultPath.elf" const FirmwareData = staticRead FirmwarePath Run then compile with nim c -d:Firmwa

Package level scope

I know that appending '*' to a proc or field name gives the proc/field a public level scope and not having it will make the scope module level (i.e. private). Is there a means to make something a package level scope, something like Java's protected? If not, how do people commonly work around the
