2021-05-25 09:16:32 +0200 <Solid> liskin: I was just now looking into #410 again (removing deprecated things); the dbus package for haskell pulls in _a lot_ of dependencies, I'm not sure we want that for xmonad core

2021-05-25 09:18:34 +0200 <Solid> I'm left to wonder whether the xmessage solution would really be that bad; how often do people realistically recompile their xmonad configs?
2021-05-25 09:18:51 +0200 <Solid> *people who would get annoyed at these messages beause they want to fix this in 6 months time
2021-05-25 09:19:09 +0200 <Viking667> I normally edit xmonad.hs instead and restart instead of recompiling, I guess that's a different use case.
2021-05-25 09:20:02 +0200 <Solid> Viking667: that _is_ recompiling :)
2021-05-25 09:20:36 +0200 <vrs> I'd kind of like a version of xmessage that displays unicode properly
2021-05-25 09:21:53 +0200 <Viking667> Solid: so what's "xmonad --restart" then?
2021-05-25 09:22:09 +0200 <Viking667> Because that's what I use, and is what is inside my xmonad.hs

2021-05-25 09:25:34 +0200 <Solid> Viking667: you really mean xmonad --restart without invoking xmonad --recompile first? I fail to see how changes to your xmonad config would take effect then

2021-05-25 09:29:17 +0200 <Viking667> From what I understand, xmonad --restart re-reads the xmonad.hs on invocation, therefore I get the changes I want. The modules compiled INTO xmonad by the --recompile process aren't changing, after all.
2021-05-25 09:29:48 +0200 <Viking667> If I were to remove/add module names from the .hs, then yes I'd probably think about a --recompile
2021-05-25 09:37:59 +0200 <Solid> what I'm saying is that you define xmonad's main function inside your xmonad.hs
2021-05-25 09:38:14 +0200 <Solid> It's not a config file that is just read and then incorporated into the program
2021-05-25 09:38:19 +0200 <Solid> it is the starting point of the program
2021-05-25 09:38:55 +0200 <Solid> I just saw that we are doing a check on startup though, which means that xmonad --restart _will_ recompile your config, just after doing the restart
2021-05-25 09:39:45 +0200 <Solid> If you have an .xsession.log or similar you'll probably find compilation messages there
2021-05-25 09:43:01 +0200 <Viking667> hm. Figures. I clearly missed that.

2021-05-25 10:37:21 +0200 <liskin> Solid: we can just use notify-send and fallback to xmessage
2021-05-25 10:37:40 +0200 <liskin> unfortunately notify-send doesn't seem to indicate whether it was able to send the notification or not :-)
2021-05-25 10:37:41 +0200 <liskin> :-(
2021-05-25 10:42:05 +0200 <liskin> it's a bit weird actually, the source code seems to handle it correctly, but when I stop and mask dunst.service, it doesn't fail :-/
2021-05-25 10:42:42 +0200 <liskin> perhaps it would fail if I never had any dunst in the first place

2021-05-25 11:49:58 +0200 <mc47> Solid, liskin: do you have any ressources I can read to understand what the hell is going on in #547 and #294? The extensible config stuff
2021-05-25 11:50:33 +0200 <mc47> The type-level trickery intrigued me and I don't know where to read more about it
2021-05-25 11:51:38 +0200 <liskin> mc47: I don't have anything in particular that I'd recommend reading.
2021-05-25 11:52:04 +0200 <liskin> As usual, I lived through the evolution and just happen to know this stuff without having the slightest idea where that knowledge came from :-/
2021-05-25 11:52:49 +0200 <liskin> but googling "haskell typeable" gives me a couple blog posts that I'd expect to be more or less correct/meaningful
2021-05-25 11:53:31 +0200 <liskin> tldr is that Typeable lets you do dynamically typed values safely
2021-05-25 11:54:11 +0200 <liskin> the compiler generates instances of Typeable, which let you convert any type a into a Maybe specific type you want
2021-05-25 11:55:36 +0200 <mc47> that sounds really interesting, I'll check that out
2021-05-25 11:55:56 +0200 <mc47> Experiencing the evolution first-hand is really nice
2021-05-25 11:58:05 +0200 <liskin> it isn't the most cost effective way of learning stuff though
2021-05-25 11:58:32 +0200 <mc47> yes, but I think it gives a better insight
2021-05-25 12:01:45 +0200 <liskin> as long as you don't forget stuff :-)
2021-05-25 12:04:32 +0200 <Solid> one thing to be aware of is that people who talk about TypeRep can mean two different things (indexed vs. not indexed)
2021-05-25 12:04:51 +0200 <Solid> because we have Data.Typeable.TypeRep and Type.Reflection.TypeRep
2021-05-25 12:04:53 +0200 <Solid> both in base
2021-05-25 12:04:56 +0200 <Solid> this is a lot of fun :
2021-05-25 12:04:59 +0200 <Solid> :)
2021-05-25 12:05:52 +0200 <liskin> oh, Type.Reflection even has your `theType`
2021-05-25 12:05:57 +0200 <liskin> too bad it doesn't have cast :-(
2021-05-25 12:07:01 +0200 <liskin> (I know one can piece that together with eqTypeRep, but then it becomes ugly again)
2021-05-25 12:09:04 +0200 <Solid> it also can't really be put into a map as nicely (that I can see)
2021-05-25 12:09:12 +0200 <Solid> we'd have to existentially qualify over the whole map
2021-05-25 12:09:27 +0200 <Solid> I think Data.Typeable is definitely the better approach in our case
2021-05-25 12:10:34 +0200 <liskin> right
