2024-08-30 02:43:02 +0200 <yin> should we expect much difference between `join . words` and `filter (not . isSpace)` ?

2024-08-30 02:46:01 +0200 <haskellbridge> <zwro> hmm.. i wonder if `join.words` gets optimized in that way
2024-08-30 02:46:08 +0200 <EvanR> well the first one logically rebuilds the list twice, while the second one once
2024-08-30 02:46:19 +0200 <EvanR> but there's the reality of compilation
2024-08-30 02:46:53 +0200 <yin> yes i'm assuming optimization. that's really my question
2024-08-30 02:47:32 +0200 <yin> unfortunately i'm in no position to try it out at the moment
2024-08-30 02:51:17 +0200 <yin> `join . words` feels more elegant
2024-08-30 02:51:59 +0200 <yin> wonder if we can count on some type of "fusion" in this case

2024-08-30 03:10:10 +0200 <d34df00d> Ugh.
2024-08-30 03:10:16 +0200 <d34df00d> Since when `foo :: Bool -> Num a => a` is a legit haskell?
2024-08-30 03:10:21 +0200 <d34df00d> (without any extensions enabled)
2024-08-30 03:10:35 +0200 <EvanR> forever I think
2024-08-30 03:10:49 +0200 <EvanR> it's the same as Bool -> (Num a => a)
2024-08-30 03:10:58 +0200 <d34df00d> Hmm, ghc 9.0 gets upset: https://gcc.godbolt.org/z/8eGYYn1xv
2024-08-30 03:11:07 +0200 <d34df00d> Yes, but it requires RankNTypes, just as ghc 9.0 correctly says.
2024-08-30 03:11:38 +0200 <EvanR> that's a rank 1 type
2024-08-30 03:11:57 +0200 <d34df00d> So I'm curious whether it's ghc 9.0 indeed correct, or whether it's actually allowed by Haskell 98/2010 since it's not really a rank-n.
2024-08-30 03:11:58 +0200 <d34df00d> Yeah.
2024-08-30 03:13:14 +0200 <d34df00d> Or, I shall say, it could be converted to a rank-1 type, to be more precise.
2024-08-30 03:14:51 +0200 <d34df00d> EvanR: yep, if you try to define it as `foo = const 1`, you'll get "Couldn't match type ‘a0’ with ‘Num a => a’ // Expected: Bool -> Num a => a // Actual: Bool -> a0"
2024-08-30 03:15:34 +0200 <d34df00d> `foo = undefined` also fails to unify unless I enable -XImpredicativeTypes.
2024-08-30 03:15:36 +0200 <EvanR> const 1 obviously doesn't type check
2024-08-30 03:15:58 +0200 <EvanR> er
2024-08-30 03:16:01 +0200 <EvanR> :t const 1
2024-08-30 03:16:02 +0200 <lambdabot> Num a => b -> a
2024-08-30 03:16:25 +0200 <EvanR> yeah
2024-08-30 03:16:33 +0200 <d34df00d> Is `Num a => b -> a` ~ `b -> Num a => a`?
2024-08-30 03:17:35 +0200 <haskellbridge> <zwro> this is news to me
2024-08-30 03:18:18 +0200 <EvanR> that can be asked by using a type equality GADT
2024-08-30 03:18:24 +0200 <EvanR> with Refl as the constructor
2024-08-30 03:18:41 +0200 <d34df00d> EvanR: the particular error message with `const 1` is "Cannot instantiate unification variable ‘a0’ with a type involving polytypes: Num a => a" which suggests to me that at least part of ghc considers this to be a rank-2.
2024-08-30 03:19:19 +0200 <EvanR> it seems so, but you didn't put an explicit forall, in which case I want my money back
2024-08-30 03:19:34 +0200merijn(~merijn@204-220-045-062.dynamic.caiway.nl)
2024-08-30 03:19:45 +0200 <d34df00d> That was kinda my original question tho :)
2024-08-30 03:20:06 +0200 <EvanR> stuff can be higher rank without explicit forall? balderdash!
2024-08-30 03:20:55 +0200 <d34df00d> Ok, I'm lazy, so I didn't do the GADT test and instead just `bar :: (b -> Num a => a) ~ (Num a => b -> a) => ()`
2024-08-30 03:20:57 +0200 <d34df00d> This fails to typecheck.
2024-08-30 03:23:12 +0200 <d34df00d> `foo :: forall a. Bool -> Num a => a` behaves funny too tho. `foo = const 1` still complains about polytypes, while `foo = undefined` now unifies.
2024-08-30 03:23:14 +0200 <EvanR> yeah const 1 earlier also basically proved that

2024-08-30 08:07:14 +0200 <esnos> Hi, I'm on arch linux and I want to use package Control.Monad.Random. I installed it via haskell-monadrandom package, but after restarting emacs, emacs still can't find package. I also tried to cabal install it, but I got error `Warning: Couldn't figure out linker information!` which I think is specific to arch linux. Do you know what can I do to see this package?
2024-08-30 08:15:06 +0200merijn(~merijn@204-220-045-062.dynamic.caiway.nl)
2024-08-30 08:16:52 +0200 <EvanR> create a new cabal project and list the package in the deps
2024-08-30 08:17:06 +0200 <EvanR> the default is to download and install the packages per project
2024-08-30 08:17:31 +0200 <EvanR> unless this is broken on arch linux for some reason
2024-08-30 08:18:04 +0200 <esnos> I'm just doing last assigment from cis 194, is it possible to globaly download haskell package?
2024-08-30 08:18:23 +0200 <c_wraith> ultimately, system package managers are really bad at managing haskell libraries. (and mostly they don't even try)
2024-08-30 08:18:39 +0200 <EvanR> it is possible to install them globally but it's usually a bad idea
2024-08-30 08:18:51 +0200 <esnos> Or haskell packages on linux are only for other program in extra repo, not for lsp?

2024-08-30 08:19:50 +0200 <EvanR> doing an assignment for cis 194 is a good reason to make a project
2024-08-30 08:19:59 +0200 <esnos> So something like cabal init cis_194, cabal update, cabal install MonadRandom would work?

2024-08-30 08:20:47 +0200 <esnos> EvanR: Should I have project for each assigment, or just one for all of them?
2024-08-30 08:22:19 +0200 <EvanR> if there are no conflicts among any of the dependencies they could all be the same project
2024-08-30 08:24:10 +0200 <c_wraith> note that if you're really doing small things (single module), cabal scripts have a lot less ceremony involved. https://cabal.readthedocs.io/en/stable/getting-started.html#running-a-single-file-haskell-script
2024-08-30 08:24:28 +0200 <c_wraith> If they've got multiple modules, a full cabal project is easier to work with.
2024-08-30 08:26:02 +0200 <EvanR> oh yeah, cabal script is good for 1 source file and you only need 1 dependency package
2024-08-30 08:26:21 +0200 <EvanR> and you don't care about compile time
2024-08-30 08:26:59 +0200 <c_wraith> if you've only got one source, *usually* compile times won't be bad.

2024-08-30 08:32:22 +0200 <geekosaur> (a) you can specify more than one dependency (b) cabal since 3.8 caches compiled scripts
2024-08-30 08:32:49 +0200 <mauke> doesn't arch package a ghc that uses dynamic libraries or something?
2024-08-30 08:34:13 +0200 <geekosaur> you want `ghc-options: -dynamic` on Arch
2024-08-30 08:34:51 +0200 <geekosaur> installing `ghc-static` will work for bootlibs, but if you install any other Haskell package via pacman you won't be able to get static libraries

2024-08-30 08:47:49 +0200 <Franciman> lol, do they still use dynamic linking for haskell?
2024-08-30 08:47:56 +0200 <geekosaur> arch linux even breaks its own haskell packages somewhat regularly
2024-08-30 08:48:22 +0200 <esnos> I now try to resolve this problem...
2024-08-30 08:48:25 +0200 <geekosaur> they have lists of packages that need to be rebuilt when their dependencies change, but sometimes they miss one or two

2024-08-30 08:49:32 +0200 <Franciman> this is a point in favour of guix
2024-08-30 08:49:34 +0200 <Inst> i strongly suggest you try to nuke your haskell arch linux toolchain and move to cabal or stack, preferably cabal since stack is on life support

2024-08-30 08:52:28 +0200 <esnos> Inst: I can nuke arch linux haskell, but how I should then install cabal and ghc? From curl, or install ghc from arch linux repo and then cabal
2024-08-30 08:52:40 +0200 <Inst> do the ghcup instructions
2024-08-30 08:52:51 +0200 <geekosaur> ghcup does both and you can get it as a precompiled binary
2024-08-30 08:52:59 +0200 <Inst> sorry, i misspoke
2024-08-30 08:53:20 +0200 <Inst> just do ghcup with cabal or stack, not cabal or stack on their own
2024-08-30 08:53:59 +0200 <geekosaur> cabal won't install ghc for you, stack will but that is on life support and the ghcup stack hook is recommended instead
2024-08-30 08:54:24 +0200 <mauke> but will that fix the gcc error?
2024-08-30 08:54:25 +0200 <esnos> Franciman: I didn't tried nix, guix have much less packages, but I heard documentation is better, so I stick with it
2024-08-30 08:54:41 +0200 <geekosaur> (I don't think stack itself is on life support, but its automatically installing ghcs itslef certainly is)
2024-08-30 08:54:45 +0200 <Franciman> i find docs very clear, yes
2024-08-30 08:54:58 +0200 <geekosaur> mpilgrem is working closely with cabal devs for example
2024-08-30 08:55:35 +0200 <Inst> wait did nix finally get gui?
2024-08-30 08:55:40 +0200 <geekosaur> sadly, I suspect it won't; that spunds like somehow gcc is installed but ld isn't
2024-08-30 08:55:46 +0200 <Franciman> esnos: in a perfect scenario, cabal wouldn't exist, and you would use guix or nix for managing deps ^^
2024-08-30 08:55:51 +0200 <Franciman> well cabal/cargo/pip/etc
2024-08-30 08:55:58 +0200 <geekosaur> (I would have expected ld to be a dependenncy, but with Arch who knows?)
2024-08-30 08:56:24 +0200 <sclv> guix or nix don't have solvers. we'll always need solvers for ad-hoc dep sets.
2024-08-30 08:56:42 +0200 <esnos> Franciman: I also want to try to use guix for managing haskell packagess. Did you tried both guix and nix? If yes, how do you compare them?
2024-08-30 08:56:46 +0200 <geekosaur> also I don't know if Arch has anything equivalent to Debian/Ubuntu build-essential that installs pretty much everything you need
2024-08-30 08:56:56 +0200 <Franciman> esnos: no i just tried guix
2024-08-30 08:57:21 +0200 <Franciman> sclv: would solvers be language dependent?
2024-08-30 08:57:34 +0200 <geekosaur> guix is a sort of gnu clone of nix
2024-08-30 08:57:35 +0200 <esnos> geekosaur: There is gcc and binutils in core, I have them both installed
2024-08-30 08:57:37 +0200 <sclv> also we'd still use cabal/cargo etc to orchestrate _building_
2024-08-30 08:57:39 +0200 <geekosaur> not "gui"
2024-08-30 08:57:59 +0200 <Franciman> sclv: uhm orchestrate building can be done by guix/nix

2024-08-30 08:59:53 +0200 <sclv> currently, sadly, solvers are language dependent because they're package-format and conventions dependent, and we have different conventions and possibilities per language ecosystem -- different treatment of multiple versions, of feature flags, of cross-cutting compiler settings (prof builds, object builds), etc.
2024-08-30 08:59:53 +0200 <sclv> there's some stray efforts to build a common solver core that's potentially language independent, but i don't think the approach scales to handle everything necessary yet, and there's not a cohesive vision to make the push.
2024-08-30 09:00:15 +0200 <Franciman> yeah, makes sense
2024-08-30 09:00:24 +0200 <esnos> So to summarise, I should delete all haskell things I have on my computer, Install ghc package from pacman, then ghcup tui install cabal and hls, then cabal update, cabal init folder, add MonadRandom to .cabal file?
2024-08-30 09:00:35 +0200 <Franciman> no esnos
2024-08-30 09:00:39 +0200 <Franciman> install ghc from ghcup too
2024-08-30 09:01:12 +0200 <esnos> How can I have ghcup without ghc?

2024-08-30 09:01:26 +0200 <sclv> ghcup is the _installer for ghc_
2024-08-30 09:01:36 +0200 <Franciman> also isn't ghcup written in bash?
2024-08-30 09:01:37 +0200 <esnos> Ok, I get it wrong
2024-08-30 09:01:56 +0200 <sclv> just run the magic command line here on a clean system and it'll do everything for you https://www.haskell.org/ghcup/
2024-08-30 09:02:08 +0200 <Franciman> sclv: so do you think there is room for avoiding duplication of work in packaging?
2024-08-30 09:02:37 +0200 <Franciman> maybe cabal would produce a guix package definition
2024-08-30 09:02:39 +0200 <sclv> ghcup isn't written in bash -- but the script that i linked is a bash script that wraps installing ghcup and its deps, then running it to get the basics going all at once.
2024-08-30 09:02:46 +0200 <esnos> sclv: There is also package ghcup-hs-bin in aur, maybe this will be better because of arch
2024-08-30 09:02:49 +0200 <Franciman> instead of dealing with all the build project itself

2024-08-30 09:04:16 +0200 <Franciman> lol i once asked them why they did that and they answered: apparently haskell's ecosystem is super brittle
2024-08-30 09:04:33 +0200 <Franciman> SO why are you doing it if it's so brittle
2024-08-30 09:04:39 +0200 <Franciman> stick to what's working
2024-08-30 09:05:19 +0200 <geekosaur> because people want pandoc
2024-08-30 09:05:37 +0200 <esnos> sclv: Ok, I will then use ghcup from link
2024-08-30 09:05:40 +0200 <sclv> Franciman: I don't think we have duplication of work in packaging. cabal manifests have a _lot_ more data than nix package descriptions. Nix _relies_ on that data to build packages -- it has to make use of the manifests itself. So we can't do away with language-specific files that describe how to build packages, which is what cabal files are.
2024-08-30 09:05:47 +0200 <Franciman> no geekosaur i mean stick to the way haskell is known to work

2024-08-30 09:06:28 +0200 <sclv> There are tools that extract a small fraction of the data in cabal files that is necessary for nix files, and do that autogen tho.
2024-08-30 09:06:54 +0200 <Franciman> sclv: i think there is, because if i want to package an haskell lib or program i have to recursively do it for all deps
2024-08-30 09:07:08 +0200 <sclv> Sure. but you can automate that too.
2024-08-30 09:07:11 +0200 <Franciman> while cabal could do that for me

2024-08-30 09:07:50 +0200 <sclv> I think what you're asking for isn't about cabal files, or even cabal the tool. You just want a tool to automatically recursively package haskell for nix, and I'm pretty sure those exist?
2024-08-30 09:07:52 +0200 <Axman6> I remember when they broke basically everything to do with haskell

2024-08-30 09:08:20 +0200 <Franciman> nix is less obsessed about reproducibility
2024-08-30 09:08:20 +0200 <JuanDaugherty> they're whole schtick is the distribution mechanism, so figures

2024-08-30 09:08:34 +0200 <geekosaur> I think they mean things like cross-module inlining meaning that you can never simply replace a shared object, you have to rebuild everything that uses it
2024-08-30 09:08:38 +0200 <haskellbridge> <sm> arch packagers and haskell devs don't talk to each other it seems
2024-08-30 09:08:44 +0200 <geekosaur> and they have a hard rule that everything must use shared libs
2024-08-30 09:08:52 +0200 <Axman6> I thought the main thing Nix cares about is reproducibility
2024-08-30 09:09:09 +0200 <Franciman> Axman6: they care, they are not just obsessed with it to the level guix is
2024-08-30 09:09:28 +0200 <davean> sm: Talk? Well it requires listening for the talking to do any good.
2024-08-30 09:09:42 +0200 <Franciman> sclv: i agree on cabal files being necessary and cabal being available, but i don't see why cabal has to manage all the building process
2024-08-30 09:09:49 +0200 <Franciman> rather than handing it to nix
2024-08-30 09:10:10 +0200 <Franciman> there is the duplication. Cabal could just create package definitions and then let the package manager
2024-08-30 09:10:16 +0200 <Axman6> Nix doesn't run on windows, afaik, so that's one reason isn't it?
2024-08-30 09:10:16 +0200 <geekosaur> I thought cabal2nix did exactly that?
2024-08-30 09:10:30 +0200 <geekosaur> converts a cabal file to a nix derivation
2024-08-30 09:10:38 +0200 <sclv> here's an old post from an arch maintainer explaining their philosophy. it makes things easier for them, and its fine for application users, and they don't want to do anything harder to support devs well (in part because they're underresourced), so they don't https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/9emwtu/comment/e5qssdz/?context=3

2024-08-30 09:12:12 +0200 <Axman6> I'm pretty sure if you install a random Haskell package with Nix, it will handle installing all the dependancies
2024-08-30 09:12:14 +0200 <geekosaur> Franciman, see what Axman6 said
2024-08-30 09:12:15 +0200 <Axman6> yes
2024-08-30 09:12:25 +0200 <geekosaur> it just reruns cabal2nix on the deps that are missing
2024-08-30 09:12:27 +0200 <Franciman> guix would disapprove
2024-08-30 09:12:34 +0200 <Axman6> Nix knows enough cabal to recursivly install things
2024-08-30 09:12:35 +0200 <Franciman> they need all dependencies packaged
2024-08-30 09:12:39 +0200 <Franciman> to accept a package in the repos
2024-08-30 09:12:52 +0200 <JuanDaugherty> https://eg.meansofproduction.biz/eg/index.php/NixOS
2024-08-30 09:12:56 +0200 <sclv> Franciman: nix is a package manager, its not a builder! Nix uses language specific builders for every language that needs them afaik. "handing it to nix" would be nightmarish for nix devs, duplicate work, and likely get things wrong. If you look at how much work cabal does to build a single package, even when all deps already exist and are solved, there's a lot going on.
2024-08-30 09:12:57 +0200 <Franciman> ok thanks
2024-08-30 09:13:08 +0200 <Axman6> there's a difference between installing a haskell package with nix and a haskell package being in nixpkgs.
2024-08-30 09:13:14 +0200 <Axman6> nix understands haskell packages
2024-08-30 09:13:43 +0200 <Franciman> guix requires everything to be packaged
2024-08-30 09:13:55 +0200 <Franciman> i mean it's not necessary to have a package, but to have it accepted in the repos

2024-08-30 09:14:15 +0200 <Franciman> i see
2024-08-30 09:14:19 +0200 <sclv> Right. But there's automated tooling that the nix people use for the haskell packages there, and I bet it could be adapted to guix
2024-08-30 09:14:35 +0200 <Franciman> i see about being a package manager
2024-08-30 09:14:43 +0200 <Axman6> Nix doesn't require that, but it can produce reproducible builds form hackage packages (or git repos I think, if you want that)
2024-08-30 09:15:12 +0200 <JuanDaugherty> nix and hs are cognitively consonant on being declarative, but srs useful thing for hs, pointless gimmick for a problem of 20 ya in the other case
2024-08-30 09:16:49 +0200 <JuanDaugherty> good thing there arent a lot of discerning ppl due to turnover or whatever
2024-08-30 09:16:55 +0200 <sclv> the nix configuration language itself is from my experience with it an imperative macro system pretending to be a declarative language. but its still the best thing we have.

2024-08-30 09:17:21 +0200 <geekosaur> eh? take a look at how guix does it sometime
2024-08-30 09:18:05 +0200 <davean> I find guix way easier to read. I use nix though. I wish we could have the best of both.
2024-08-30 09:18:07 +0200 <Franciman> builders produce a gexp, which is roughly a s-expr representing a list of operations to make

2024-08-30 09:18:31 +0200 <Franciman> and then guix runs the gexp it obtains from a package definition + input
2024-08-30 09:18:45 +0200 <geekosaur> also, guix has something nix decidedly doesn't: standards for how derivations work and interact

2024-08-30 09:20:01 +0200 <geekosaur> guix set out design guidelines and policies, having learned from nix
2024-08-30 09:20:07 +0200 <dminuoso> nix has extremely poor UX, very poor standard libary, syntax that makes it hard to structure non-trivial code, uncontrollable evaluation order - and an ecosystem that ties errors into evaluation errors making any kind of error handling nightmarish to impossible.
2024-08-30 09:20:26 +0200 <dminuoso> Yes we use it with NixOS to manage our entire infrastructure. So I'm entitled to rant about it.

2024-08-30 09:24:15 +0200 <geekosaur> from what I've heard from k8s users, you'd probably just be trading your current problems for different ones

2024-08-30 09:29:56 +0200 <Franciman> yeah guix can seem slow sometimes, because there is not much money and people, but that is also up to us
2024-08-30 09:29:59 +0200 <Franciman> who keep preferring nix
2024-08-30 09:30:25 +0200 <davean> I mean as long as guix is gnu rotted I kinda don't have a choice?
2024-08-30 09:30:29 +0200 <dminuoso> For my personal computer I decided to give Qubes OS a try, because I'm a sucker for exotic ideas in operating systems. :-)
2024-08-30 09:30:46 +0200 <Franciman> davean: wdym? There are "non-free" channels
2024-08-30 09:30:49 +0200 <Franciman> like nonguix
2024-08-30 09:30:54 +0200 <davean> Franciman: its nothing about the freeness
2024-08-30 09:31:01 +0200 <Franciman> gnu rotten means?

2024-08-30 09:31:30 +0200 <davean> Just the general issues gnu projects have about how they go about getting stuff done. I don't think man hours could solve guix
2024-08-30 09:31:52 +0200 <probie> I ran Qubes for a while. It worked pretty well for most of my work workloads apart from watching videos
2024-08-30 09:32:06 +0200 <probie> also was rather battery unfriendly
2024-08-30 09:32:06 +0200 <Franciman> davean: can you explain a bit more?
2024-08-30 09:32:31 +0200 <dminuoso> probie: Oh yeah, video playback is horrible - full fan speed every time, and jittery playback at 15-20fps!
2024-08-30 09:32:34 +0200 <davean> Franciman: A lot of gnu projects are too focused on doing the cool thing in someone's head to ever deliver.
2024-08-30 09:32:52 +0200 <davean> gnu has a VERY strong history of never delivering projects
2024-08-30 09:32:54 +0200 <Franciman> davean: i think guix is more pragmatic
2024-08-30 09:33:11 +0200 <Franciman> yes that is true, but guix is working, what is the problem is that they are sometimes slow in accepting packages
2024-08-30 09:33:16 +0200 <Franciman> or fixing some non core issues
2024-08-30 09:33:17 +0200 <dminuoso> davean: I hear Emacs is close to being finished!
2024-08-30 09:33:22 +0200 <Franciman> because there are few people
2024-08-30 09:33:37 +0200 <davean> Franciman: yet they do things like all the bootstrapping stuf
2024-08-30 09:33:49 +0200 <Franciman> yet it works
2024-08-30 09:34:01 +0200 <Franciman> bootstrappable stuff is cool, but that's not the only thing they do
2024-08-30 09:34:30 +0200 <haskellbridge> <sm> davean: I’d say its history of delivering is a bit stronger!
2024-08-30 09:35:33 +0200 <jackdk> Franciman: Alas, no. I still get the test error on `guix pull`.
2024-08-30 09:35:49 +0200 <Franciman> what, jackdk. Let me try
2024-08-30 09:35:55 +0200 <Franciman> what are your configs?
2024-08-30 09:35:59 +0200 <Franciman> I also have openssl and it works
2024-08-30 09:36:09 +0200 <Franciman> maybe a different version tho
2024-08-30 09:36:53 +0200 <probie> GNU delivered GCC and Gnome. That's actually a pretty good result overall
2024-08-30 09:36:55 +0200 <Franciman> i see there is openssl-1.1.1q
2024-08-30 09:37:12 +0200 <Franciman> is it ok jackdk ?
2024-08-30 09:37:44 +0200 <jackdk> Franciman: The main thing is that I have substituters turned off, and I'm building against the `d531237` commit of https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git . I don't know if this is the absolute latest, but it's what a five-minute-old `guix pull` gave me
2024-08-30 09:38:06 +0200 <Franciman> ah i can't afford to build everything from sources on this lappy
2024-08-30 09:38:35 +0200 <davean> right but you'd only encounter that error on build?
2024-08-30 09:38:48 +0200 <jackdk> Yeah the binary substitute is presumably fine, but I believe in the whole bootstrap thing, and am frustrated that they've done so much good work on that front but not disarmed the certificate timebombs.
2024-08-30 09:39:34 +0200 <davean> I mean I believe the bootstrap thing is good. Just years spent on that while not dealing with the core product means the momentum is elsewhere.
2024-08-30 09:39:51 +0200 <jackdk> Like, I'll randomly run nix commands with `--option substitute false` and file nixpkgs bugs/PRs against broken links etc
2024-08-30 09:40:26 +0200 <davean> jackdk: really? I built with only my own subsituters all the time and haven't hit one yet. What are you building?
2024-08-30 09:40:51 +0200 <davean> (I run into plenty of nixpkg errors, but not that one)
2024-08-30 09:41:13 +0200 <davean> (More often changed hashes on sources withotu versioning for URLs themselves)
2024-08-30 09:41:50 +0200 <davean> and ugh, nix's 5 ways of handling, or not being able to handle. ssh options.
2024-08-30 09:43:09 +0200 <jackdk> davean: most recently https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/335793 , but I've seen random python packages push over the top of release tags, many fonts were broken for a while if you weren't substituting them because the function they were calling changed interface, and others
2024-08-30 09:43:50 +0200 <davean> fun. Yah sounds like you're in a different area than I am
2024-08-30 09:44:04 +0200 <davean> every subsystem of the nixpkgs ecosystem is its own jungle.
2024-08-30 09:44:40 +0200 <jackdk> Yeah true. Sometimes it's fundamental stuff too: dhcpcd moved from self-hosted releases to github and nobody noticed because they got at least the source tarball from cache.nixos.org

2024-08-30 09:53:05 +0200 <dminuoso> davean: I think the biggest issue is not even that you have these disconnected jungles everywhere, but the fundamental lack of types or documentation. The disconencted jungles just mean you have to reverse engineer tens of thousands of lines of code over and over again.

2024-08-30 09:53:29 +0200 <dminuoso> And while yes, documentation is slowly improving, it's far from `@hoogle void` and getting some instant response.
2024-08-30 09:54:04 +0200 <davean> geekosaur: Its different because its not what they test again :)

2024-08-30 09:55:08 +0200 <dminuoso> The code hierarchy is normal and just an artifact of `nixpkgs` not being exactly a singular project, but just a monorepo for several teams to colocate their code.
2024-08-30 09:55:37 +0200 <dminuoso> (Mostly because nixpkgs did not come with any kind of dependency management
2024-08-30 09:55:56 +0200 <dminuoso> So stuffing it all in a mono repo where you could just import from left to right is a natural consequence
2024-08-30 09:56:27 +0200 <esnos> So for anyone else on arch having problem with building and ld, just nuke every haskell package, you can do it by first finding them with pacman -Qs haskell and then sudo pacman -Rcns big packages, install ghcup from link, ghcup tui everything, cabal init <folder> and in .cabal folder add every package you need.
2024-08-30 09:56:33 +0200 <davean> 90% of my issues with nixos is the nix language
2024-08-30 09:57:05 +0200 <dminuoso> davean: Yup. NixOS itself is arguably the better part precisely because it actually goes through the hoop of building an intermediate abstraction, an intermediate language with a separate evaluator.
2024-08-30 09:57:23 +0200 <dminuoso> Now sadly the error handling is still tied to plain nix expressions which is why NixOS errors are mostly unreadable..

2024-08-30 10:13:11 +0200 <davean> I feel like what you say is sorta true probie, but I also don't feel I can really invest in it to make things better in general.
2024-08-30 10:13:32 +0200 <dminuoso> geekosaur: The sad thing is just, that ecosystem is in the end more important than usability of a language from a practical point of view.

2024-08-30 10:15:01 +0200 <divya> merijn: I've had 3 package dependency hell situations in Arch this year alone because of haskell and python packages through pacman.

2024-08-30 10:15:25 +0200 <divya> I badly need to switch to guix, but I haven't been able to because I have 2600 packages and a tightly customized setup.
2024-08-30 10:15:34 +0200 <merijn> divya: Personally I think the Haskell situation is most egregious, because they just intentionally ship a GHC/cabal that is broken in the default configuration

2024-08-30 10:17:22 +0200 <merijn> the thing is they could even make the default Arch config "just work", IFF they simply patches GHC to use dynamic linking by default (rather than static as it normally does)
2024-08-30 10:17:36 +0200 <merijn> but they refuse to do that too
2024-08-30 10:17:52 +0200 <dminuoso> esnos: There's some interesting stories about why Arch Haskell favours dynamic linking that only demonstrate how Arch Linux is a tinker distribution, and I dont mean `tinker` in a good sense.
2024-08-30 10:18:24 +0200 <divya> Arch got the meme status for a long time for no good reason, really.
2024-08-30 10:18:44 +0200 <dminuoso> esnos: You know, it used to be that there was this one guy living somewhere in eastern Europe maintaining all of hackage. And he compiled the AUR packages on his personal computer, and because his internet was slow, he wanted to reduce the amount of bandwidth needed to upload AUR packages from his personal machine...
2024-08-30 10:18:51 +0200 <dminuoso> Which is why its all dynamic linking.
2024-08-30 10:19:10 +0200 <dminuoso> You'd think something like Arch would have build infrastructure from which AUR was built from, automatically...

2024-08-30 10:40:24 +0200 <dminuoso> albet70: What do you expect `split` to do?
2024-08-30 10:41:23 +0200 <dminuoso> `split :: Eq a => a -> [a] -> [[a]]` that breaks a list into sub-lists separated by its first argument?
2024-08-30 10:41:32 +0200 <albet70> split something with something. like split "ab cd" with white space to ["ab" "cd"]
2024-08-30 10:42:41 +0200 <dminuoso> I'm sure with some creativity you can come with an algorithm that uses a list-comprehension somewhere.
2024-08-30 10:43:07 +0200 <dminuoso> The question is whether you forcibly want to use a list-comprehension, or just whether it lends itself in a trivial implementation
2024-08-30 10:43:29 +0200 <dminuoso> If if its the latter, then no, you would not use a list comprehension.
2024-08-30 10:44:53 +0200 <dminuoso> Since list comprehensions are just syntactic sugar around the [] instance of Monad, we could however generalize and find some other Monad to do it with.

2024-08-30 10:59:00 +0200 <Axman6> so*
2024-08-30 10:59:05 +0200 <merijn> dminuoso: I mean, it's still an order of magnitude better than python/java/ruby/javascript/whatever
2024-08-30 10:59:15 +0200 <merijn> But it's no Haskell :)
2024-08-30 10:59:20 +0200 <davean> merijn: because people aren't upset with tools, they're upset with having to learn things.
2024-08-30 10:59:22 +0200 <merijn> Axman6: It's not that bad
2024-08-30 10:59:30 +0200 <Axman6> The scala we were doing was
2024-08-30 10:59:40 +0200 <merijn> davean: of course, that's why it annoys me
2024-08-30 10:59:43 +0200 <Axman6> I spent literally three months trying to write one SQL query
2024-08-30 10:59:45 +0200 <dminuoso> So it's not really scala but the software. There's some horrible Haskell software out there too.
2024-08-30 10:59:53 +0200 <dminuoso> Axman6: Sounds like opaleye!
2024-08-30 11:00:08 +0200 <merijn> cabal is, objectively, still one of the best tools I have *ever* used
2024-08-30 11:00:16 +0200 <Axman6> and then I got taken off that, replaced with two developers, who developed the scala library we were using for writing SQL queries... and they took another three months to write it
2024-08-30 11:00:32 +0200 <merijn> sbt takes *literally* 15+ seconds to open the shell
2024-08-30 11:00:48 +0200 <merijn> "oh, but startup cost is unimportant, because you just keep the shell open as you work"
2024-08-30 11:00:59 +0200 <Axman6> >:(
2024-08-30 11:01:33 +0200 <davean> Axman6: what was so bad about the query?
2024-08-30 11:01:40 +0200 <merijn> Wanna run 5 different commands in your CI to report things? Well, either 1) run them all in one big batch command with their input interleaved because sbt has no way to redirect output, or 2) eat 15s startup cost at every invocation
2024-08-30 11:01:50 +0200 <merijn> Axman6: scalikejdbc?
2024-08-30 11:03:21 +0200 <haskellbridge> <magic_rb> Dumb solution, but prefix every commands output with some market, like "command1> " and then split on it. That way you can launch them at the same time, let sbt be sbt and split it afterwards
2024-08-30 11:04:01 +0200 <haskellbridge> <magic_rb> It may be possible to do all of that through gnu sed, at least the "prefixing" part is possible
2024-08-30 11:04:30 +0200 <merijn> maggic_rb: That only works if I control the command output, which I don't
2024-08-30 11:04:52 +0200 <haskellbridge> <magic_rb> Cant you pipe it?
2024-08-30 11:05:02 +0200 <merijn> That means doing separate sbt invocations
2024-08-30 11:05:24 +0200 <haskellbridge> <magic_rb> Command you mean literal shell lcommand or some sbt jargon
2024-08-30 11:05:49 +0200 <merijn> the point is that you do either "sbt cmd1 cmd2 cmd3 cmd4" and get the output of everything or you do "sbt cm1; sbt cmd2; sbt cmd3; sbt cmd4"
2024-08-30 11:06:05 +0200 <merijn> The former means all your output is together, the second means 15s startup cost every invocation
2024-08-30 11:06:20 +0200 <merijn> So that's literally a minute of waiting for sbt to start in your build
2024-08-30 11:06:21 +0200 <Axman6> I can't even remember which library it was now, we had a custom layer on top of it that just didn't do what it was supposed to, and it was all done in metaprogramming, so you had three levels where things could go wrong - template instantiation, compile time and runtime. The library was supposed to prevent all runtime errors but it did not (and loved making invalid queries)
2024-08-30 11:07:39 +0200 <mauke> now that's what I call synergy
2024-08-30 11:08:31 +0200 <Axman6> the library was quill, whose website seems to have disappeared, which is probably a good thing

2024-08-30 11:09:42 +0200 <merijn> I was about to say, scalikejdbc didn't seem that bad. I don't really like the DSL type stuff, I'd rather just write explicit SQL for each use case rather than trying to get DSLs to reuse them

2024-08-30 18:48:54 +0200 <regev> hey everyone, i have a begginer question about the Show typeclass.
2024-08-30 18:49:34 +0200 <regev> i understand the type class Eq, and how type can automatically be part of it.
2024-08-30 18:50:09 +0200 <regev> i cant understand how a type can automatically deriving of Show
2024-08-30 18:50:37 +0200 <regev> Where can i find the implementation of it? or is it compiler internal?
2024-08-30 18:51:22 +0200 <ncf> https://www.haskell.org/onlinereport/haskell2010/haskellch11.html#x18-18600011.4
2024-08-30 18:51:36 +0200 <haskellbridge> <sm> basic types have simple show implementations, and more complex types are just lots of those combined
2024-08-30 18:52:48 +0200 <haskellbridge> <sm> in my mind at least. ncf's link looks much more complicated
2024-08-30 18:53:18 +0200 <EvanR> imagine that ADTs only have () as a leaf types and the show implementation is "()". Now extrapolate however you think Eq works using that at the base
2024-08-30 18:54:04 +0200 <EvanR> the real thing is more complicated because of efficiency of building a big string = list of chars
2024-08-30 18:54:08 +0200 <mauke> regev: yes, "deriving" is built into the compiler
2024-08-30 18:55:05 +0200 <mauke> the compiler knows what your source code looks like, so it can construct a facsimile in string form
2024-08-30 18:56:04 +0200 <regev> mauke: thanks, that was the clarification i needed
2024-08-30 18:56:08 +0200 <EvanR> you can play similar games by using Generic
2024-08-30 18:56:18 +0200 <EvanR> it gives you access to constructor names and field names for example
2024-08-30 18:56:28 +0200 <mauke> or Data.Data.Data
2024-08-30 18:56:46 +0200 <EvanR> triple Dat

2024-08-30 19:51:11 +0200 <ski> regev : generally, it generates a definition of `showsPrec' (*not* `show' !), which makes the definition (if written correctly) properly take precedences into account, inserting brackets, and which makes your `Show' instance properly compose and combine with instances coming from other code. (which is why it's generally a bad idea to make your `Show' instance do some custom pretty-printed thing. `Show' is
2024-08-30 19:51:17 +0200 <ski> not for that)
2024-08-30 19:52:33 +0200 <ski> .. if you want to hand-define a `Show' instance, then `showsPrec' (not `show') is also what you normally should define. for very simple cases (an enumeration type, with none of the data constructors taking any parameters / having any components), you can define `show' instead
2024-08-30 19:53:20 +0200 <ski> e.g., let's say you define a type of binary trees :
2024-08-30 19:53:28 +0200 <ski> data Tree a = Leaf a
2024-08-30 19:53:43 +0200 <ski> | Branch (Tree a) (Tree a)

2024-08-30 19:54:15 +0200 <ski> then the generated `Show' instance would look something like
2024-08-30 19:54:26 +0200 <ski> instance Show a => Show (Tree a)

2024-08-30 20:37:12 +0200 <KicksonButt_> So you just had to type my nickname, the effects I got are from my client
2024-08-30 20:37:19 +0200 <[exa]> yap
2024-08-30 20:37:22 +0200 <KicksonButt_> Thanks
2024-08-30 20:37:25 +0200 <[exa]> also most clients allow tabbing the nicknames
2024-08-30 20:37:39 +0200 <KicksonButt_> [exa]: Oh ok
2024-08-30 20:37:42 +0200 <[exa]> the `Nickname: ....messate...` is a kinda convention, yes
2024-08-30 20:37:42 +0200 <ski> KicksonButt_ : there's also private messages (sending only to a particular user, rather than to all (current) members of some particular channel)
2024-08-30 20:38:07 +0200 <ski> some people like typing a comma, rather than a colon
2024-08-30 20:38:19 +0200skidoes both, although more commonly a colon
2024-08-30 20:39:57 +0200 <[exa]> KicksonButt_: btw people nowadays tend to connect via matrix.org clients or something similar, there the features are a lil bit more rich, for the price that you have an intermediate server in the middle that stores your actions
2024-08-30 20:39:58 +0200 <EvanR> if you're elitist you can use a semicolon
2024-08-30 20:40:42 +0200[exa]reaches for an em dash

2024-08-30 20:41:13 +0200 <[exa]> EvanR— not bad
2024-08-30 20:41:45 +0200 <[exa]> ok so, back to why I came here
2024-08-30 20:42:04 +0200 <monochrom> Did you know: IRC uses the same PRIVMSG message for both "private" and "public for channel" messages. The only difference is that the latter uses the channel name for "nickname".
2024-08-30 20:42:47 +0200 <monochrom> I would actually love to rationalize that with "private to the channel" but it's clearly a stretch. >:)
2024-08-30 20:43:11 +0200 <EvanR> economy of interface
2024-08-30 20:43:22 +0200 <[exa]> there's `partition` which splits a list into 2 by a predicate. If I modify the 2 lists (with different mappy functions), is there a way to unpartition them back to get the same order as original?
2024-08-30 20:43:46 +0200 <[exa]> Normally I'd just `map` different functions based on the predicate, but here I actually need to group a few monad actions specific to both groups
2024-08-30 20:44:10 +0200 <monochrom> No, you will have to attach original order if you want to recover original order.
2024-08-30 20:44:16 +0200 <monochrom> Entropy increases.
2024-08-30 20:44:26 +0200 <[exa]> yeah that's expected
2024-08-30 20:44:27 +0200 <EvanR> merging two sorted lists is a nice lazy thing
2024-08-30 20:44:33 +0200 <monochrom> Information wants to be lost. Entropy wants to increase.
2024-08-30 20:44:47 +0200 <EvanR> assuming your mapping doesn't alter the ordering
2024-08-30 20:44:49 +0200 <[exa]> more like, is there some super nice representation for this order reconstruction?

2024-08-30 20:45:39 +0200 <[exa]> oh wait I can just store the trues/falses from the predicate and glue it later
2024-08-30 20:46:10 +0200 <EvanR> you already know which list was true and which was false... one is all true the other is all false

2024-08-30 20:47:11 +0200 <EvanR> attaching the integers would let you do the merge two sorted lists to get sorted list thing

2024-08-30 20:48:23 +0200 <[exa]> yeah but integers

2024-08-30 21:29:43 +0200 <tomsmeding> the fact that `let in _` is allowed is handy when programming with HLS, because `let` is a parse error in an expression, and GHC refuses to do anything else when there is a syntax error in the file
