00:14 <d_bot_> <Lewis Campbell> Can anyone recommend a good lib for numeric arrays that are packed tightly in memory? Like say the analogue of Float.Array but for different size ints

00:23 <companion_cube> standard bigarrays

00:26 <d_bot_> <Lewis Campbell> thanks @companion_cube should have searched the std lib a bit better

16:33 <d_bot_> <dariusf> when doing something like `Format.printf "@[<2>@,%a@]" pp t`, is there any reason why i could get an amount of indentation that's way more than 2 spaces? i've not been able to repro with a small example, but for some reason the line after t is printed has 27 leading spaces, while the line before has 0

16:35 <d_bot_> <dariusf> pp is generated by ppx_deriving

16:35 <companion_cube> do you happen to use \n in your format string?

16:37 <d_bot_> <dariusf> not in that particular one, but there are newlines in other printf calls

16:43 <companion_cube> well if you mix \n with format, format is going to be lost as of what level of indentation is active

16:48 <d_bot_> <octachron> It is more than Format is totally oblivious to `\n` in format strings.

16:48 <companion_cube> same thing

16:50 <d_bot_> <octachron> Another potential issue is that there is a line break at the very start of the box. If they are multiple nested boxes, you might see the indentation of all the nested box all at once.

17:13 <d_bot_> <dariusf> i see, thanks for the tips! the last one sounds like it could be the cause. i'll get rid of \n to be safe

23:49 <d_bot_> <raedr7n> Hey, sorry if this has been asked to death, but I can't find much online that's recent. I'm llooking at selecting a new alternative stdlib for my next few ocaml projects, and I'm stuck between containers and betteries included. Could someone give me the lowdown on the basic differences? I know they both take a similar approach, by extending the standard library, but I'm trying to avoid reading their entire source codes if I can
