But please, please, consider pushing this stuff upstream. Fracturing something
so fundamental is a really bad idea.
Yes, the stdlib is in dire need of more documentation.
For the `options` module specifically I don't think documentation for specific
procedures is what is needed. We need documentation at the top of each module
explaining its purpose, along with small and specific examples (that are

I'm currently working with Pandas/Matplotlib in Python. They are very good

you have my support :)

It looks like your Nim installation is outdated. Can you update it and try

Tl;DR?
Nope, this is simply how sockets work. Your protocol needs to specify how big
the message is, or use some character to act as a message separator (for
example `\r\l`.)
@OderWat: Yes, this is already the case with the `AsyncHttpClient`. I plan to
introduce a `HttpClient` also which will deprecate the current synchronous API.

Hello @gneu and thank you for purchasing my book. I have made a conscious
decision to omit some things from the book, Nim is a large language and space
is limited. Unfortunately term rewriting macros/templates didn't make the cut.

I think we should just call it the "style guide", it's not even called `NEP-1`

I think your PR is fine. But it needs to be tested, the best way to create a
reliable times module is to create lots of tests for it.

If I understand you correctly, you want the doc gen to show the documentation
for exported modules inside the module that exports it?
I've run into things like this in the past and the reason for them usually is a
stack corruption.
Unfortunately I don't have any magic ways to debug this. I can see that you're
using raw pointers so it's likely that you're doing something unsafe
incorrectly, so I would start by carefully

I seriously doubt @timothee meant it in a disrespectful way. This is a

for such things.
In regards to some other things written here:

It doesn't, and it cannot do that unless you pass `--threads:on`. This is
assuming that Windows doesn't do something weird
There are two solutions:
* Ever new user's first post needs to be approved by a moderator.

Of course, we can do both too. I think this is how HN works and it's

As far as examples are concerned we definitely want to have more of them, but
they need to be short. I have already said this in **@jlp765**'s PR. Take a

Starting this Friday and the focus will likely be related to concepts (which

It really isn't that big of a deal. Don't judge a book by its cover. Try the
language and if you find some genuine problems with style insensitivity then
report them.
I don't think that's possible. Although that would be a nice feature.
Yes, we are working on a new website design incorporating that logo.
Like I said, it's probably fixed in that PR.

The problem with this is that users won't be able to search for certain pragmas

to make a more generalised `recvLine`. Could you create an issue for this

I think you might need to add another `division` at the end of the `headers`.

It does.
1\. I'm not entirely sure what the purpose of your `contains` proc is, but you

`contains` proc to something else because `contains` should always

You guys might want to double check that. The docs.zip file was missing from
the server so it's likely it only started working for you after it was
uploaded, not due to a change in install path or the addition of admin
privileges. But I guess that's possible too :)
What is the rationale for removing named tuples?
Only way for us to figure this out is for you to grab a debug compiler to get a
stack trace. You'll need to bootstrap manually for that though.

Hello everyone,
I have some good news. We have successfully obtained a stand at FOSDEM 2018

they're pretty well labelled so you can easily go through them all.
I'm afraid I had to edit your post myself.
New users are in moderation mode by default so that's probably what the issue
was.
There is no need for this procedure to be exported. You should use the `post`
procedure which uses this `format` proc:

As a workaround you can download the packages.json file manually and place it
into ~/.nimble/packages.json
The sockets module is deprecated so that suggests that the example you are
trying to compile needs to be updated. In general I think all the examples that
are bundled with Nim need to be cleaned up, see the documentation for the
asynchttpserver for a more up to date example of a HTTP server.
Hello! Welcome to the Nim forum :)
I think that for Nim HEAD the idea is to use the included install_nimble.nims
script to install Nimble. Would that be acceptable?

buggy. The `Host` header is completely wrong. Please report this on GitHub:

There is no technical reason, it's just easier for users to use your package if

I'm blocking him a bit (stdlib needs a review).
