| 2025-03-16 22:08:21 +0100 | <merijn> | c_wraith: Which function is crashing? |

| 2025-03-16 22:08:10 +0100 | <jle`> | what if you added -threaded to your library cabal stanza |
| 2025-03-16 22:07:48 +0100 | <c_wraith> | you just get to hack around one function always crashing when the non-threaded runtime is chosen. With code that should just be in the library |
| 2025-03-16 22:07:24 +0100 | <c_wraith> | as a library author, you don't get to choose the runtime. |

| 2025-03-16 22:07:00 +0100 | <merijn> | c_wraith: People still using the non-threaded runtime is a bug ;) |

| 2025-03-16 22:06:40 +0100 | <c_wraith> | I wish I could convince the GHC maintainers that a function crashing with the non-threaded runtime is in fact a bug. |
| 2025-03-16 22:06:37 +0100 | <merijn> | Clearly I'm a prophetic visionary with impeccable taste |
| 2025-03-16 22:06:19 +0100 | <merijn> | c_wraith: Only to a decade later which the GHC list discuss how to implement what I asked for |
| 2025-03-16 22:05:59 +0100 | <merijn> | c_wraith: I wrote a library because some GHC maintainers thought my suggestion was silly and no one would want that |
| 2025-03-16 22:05:49 +0100 | <jle`> | my libraries had a user once |

| 2025-03-16 22:05:15 +0100 | <c_wraith> | much to my surprise, that library even has a user now. |
| 2025-03-16 22:05:07 +0100 | <merijn> | Which lib is that? |
| 2025-03-16 22:05:05 +0100 | <c_wraith> | I once wrote a library because I didn't like a blog post. |
| 2025-03-16 22:04:57 +0100 | <merijn> | mauke: ;) |
| 2025-03-16 22:04:41 +0100 | <mauke> | and now it's 17 years old and has 841 direct, 14225 indirect reverse dependencies |
| 2025-03-16 22:04:21 +0100 | <mauke> | I once had a cute idea for a silly little haskell library |

| 2025-03-16 21:46:38 +0100 | <merijn> | I just realised some libraries I wrote are now a decade old :O |
| 2025-03-16 21:46:23 +0100 | <merijn> | EvanR: I already got that part down |
| 2025-03-16 21:46:16 +0100 | <EvanR> | not yak hair per second xD |
| 2025-03-16 21:45:49 +0100 | <EvanR> | optimize for long term maintainability |
| 2025-03-16 21:45:31 +0100 | <joeyadams> | I'm the devil on your left shoulder. |
| 2025-03-16 21:44:53 +0100 | <merijn> | joeyadams: Your doing a lousy job at convincing me not to yak shave :p |
| 2025-03-16 21:44:03 +0100 | <joeyadams> | If CApiFFI is better, why not contribute that to direct-sqlite, then write your interface on top of Database.SQLite3.Bindings or Database.SQLite3.Direct ? |
| 2025-03-16 21:43:17 +0100 | <merijn> | joeyadams: Sure, but I think iff I do significant work on it, I probably just want to also do something like base it on ResourceT |
| 2025-03-16 21:42:29 +0100 | <joeyadams> | merijn: What if you simply rewrite the direct-sqlite FFI bindings to use CApiFFI? I did a lot of work on this module (10 years ago) to separate those out. |
| 2025-03-16 21:42:22 +0100 | <[exa]> | merijn: re time tracking, didn't some of these pomodoro timer tools do that? I recall one that actually asked what you're doing, which is for me WAY more reliable than trying to remember to run that single terminal command |
| 2025-03-16 21:41:31 +0100 | <EvanR> | are all problems equally weighted (in lieu of suspecting some of them don't really exist) |
| 2025-03-16 21:41:28 +0100 | <merijn> | EvanR: That last one isn't a problem and more a "description" of why it's not being used :p |
| 2025-03-16 21:40:51 +0100 | <merijn> | But by now it's been in GHC for over a decade so I think it's safe to say "screw anyone who can't work with it" :p |
| 2025-03-16 21:40:51 +0100 | <EvanR> | you're reporting so many problems now I'm starting to get incredulous |
| 2025-03-16 21:40:07 +0100 | <merijn> | joeyadams: CApiFFI is great, the main "problem" it has is that it was "too new" when direct-sqlite and stuff was actively hacked on |
| 2025-03-16 21:40:00 +0100 | <joeyadams> | Had an interesting chat with my boss (who has never heard of Haskell) why this mysterious program named "cabal" was flagging the virus scanner on my work laptop. |
| 2025-03-16 21:39:28 +0100 | <joeyadams> | CApiFFI seems interesting. One fun thing I learned about hsc2hs is that virus scanners *really* don't like programs that use every win32 function, such as the win32 package. |
| 2025-03-16 21:39:05 +0100 | <EvanR> | (the more commits there are the more accurate it gets) |
| 2025-03-16 21:38:43 +0100 | <merijn> | etc. is a single terminal command and no mouse, and then enrich/attribute that time to projects *later*. |
| 2025-03-16 21:38:37 +0100 | <merijn> | At any rate, my main problem is that most time tracking tools seem to "frontload" the organising/attribution of time, so switching tasks becomes very burdensome. Even more so when they're in custom applications or browsers which mean I have to *gasp* use the mouse. So I just want to build something that lets me quickly type a command and some free text labels about what I'm doing so starting, switching, |
| 2025-03-16 21:38:34 +0100 | <EvanR> | (a statistical filter that converts git logs into timesheets for billing sounds... just stupid enough to work) |
