2022-06-07 09:49:27 +0200 <mesaoptimizer> hi, I was messing around with cabal on archlinux, and now `xmonad --recompile` doesn't work. Any help? https://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/AM0M7GvV/
2022-06-07 10:11:39 +0200alternateved(~alternate@82.180.151.243)
2022-06-07 10:13:47 +0200 <mesaoptimizer> okay the answer was that I had to `rm -rf ~/.ghc`. Removing cabal and ghc and reinstalling them didn't do much
2022-06-07 10:14:41 +0200 <mesaoptimizer> I'm surprised that the error does not actually tell you what the problem is

2022-06-07 12:32:28 +0200 <Yehoshua> a bit late, but do you have more then one ghc install?
2022-06-07 12:32:28 +0200 <Yehoshua> for example, via the distribution of you repo, and ghcup?
2022-06-07 12:32:28 +0200 <Yehoshua> because that's what it looks like.
2022-06-07 12:34:30 +0200 <Yehoshua> and the problem is linking against xmonad-contrib's .so file,
2022-06-07 12:34:30 +0200 <Yehoshua> which means in some way either something is corrupted, or your compile env does not have _anymore_ xmonad-contrib installed. (but some headers are still accessible)
2022-06-07 13:07:01 +0200 <Solid[m]> it's just Arch doing Arch things wrt dynamic linking
2022-06-07 14:00:40 +0200 <alternateved> Hello, I was wondering if this was something wrong with my setup, but are utf8 supported in titles of windows?
2022-06-07 14:01:43 +0200 <alternateved> I could have polish characters everywhere else, e.g. in workspaces or in xmobar plugins, but window titles are the only one where those characters are not displayed
2022-06-07 14:03:58 +0200alternateved(~alternate@82.180.151.243) (Remote host closed the connection)
2022-06-07 14:04:17 +0200alternateved(~alternate@82.180.151.243)
2022-06-07 14:12:36 +0200 <geekosaur> window titles should work fine, provided xmobar is built with utf8 and the font supports it
2022-06-07 14:13:04 +0200 <geekosaur> I use utf8 in my terminal window titles to indicate various things and they all display fine
2022-06-07 14:13:10 +0200 <geekosaur> but I don't use xmobar
2022-06-07 14:20:41 +0200 <alternateved> This is the weird part: xmobar is build with xft support and xmobar plugins seems to display those characters just fine, the only issue is with window titles
2022-06-07 14:22:53 +0200 <liskin> We've had some double encoding issues in the past
2022-06-07 14:24:17 +0200 <liskin> Those should mostly be solved in 0.17+ but there's some possibility your config still does weird stuff with pipes
2022-06-07 14:24:26 +0200 <geekosaur> mesaoptimizer, removing ~/.ghc removes the package registry but leaves the libraries behind. you need to also remove part of ~/.cabal
2022-06-07 14:24:49 +0200 <geekosaur> I'd copy out ~/.cabal/config, nuke ~/.cabal, then copy the config file back
2022-06-07 14:25:44 +0200 <liskin> alternateved: how's your Haskell job going btw? I remember chatting with you over Discord a year ago or so... You're not going to ZuriHac by any chance?
2022-06-07 14:26:11 +0200 <alternateved> Hmm. I would need to dig around that. For sure I use the latest version. And I do not use pipes - mostly latest api

2022-06-07 14:27:48 +0200 <alternateved> liskin, ah you were right
2022-06-07 14:28:34 +0200 <alternateved> Those kind of jobs attract weird people
2022-06-07 14:29:03 +0200 <alternateved> I did not feel comfortable working there, but that job enabled me to meet some other people and find another job
2022-06-07 14:29:36 +0200 <liskin> :-D
2022-06-07 14:29:39 +0200 <alternateved> Currently I work for company that does real things and try to help their customers, and tech stack is mostly functional
2022-06-07 14:29:46 +0200 <liskin> Good for you then :-)
2022-06-07 14:29:47 +0200 <alternateved> Haskell, PureScript
2022-06-07 14:30:13 +0200 <alternateved> And the place is full of experienced developers, so I am in good hands.
2022-06-07 14:31:20 +0200 <alternateved> I am kinda overwhelmed in this year, so I did not plan to go to ZuriHac. Fun thing; colleague from my job was asking me that today; if I would want to take part in at least the online section
2022-06-07 14:33:13 +0200 <liskin> I attended online last year and was completely overwhelmed
2022-06-07 14:34:22 +0200 <alternateved> Why so?
2022-06-07 14:38:13 +0200Solidis really excited for an actual in person event, online conferences are such a drag
2022-06-07 14:41:50 +0200 <alternateved> Ah, yeah. Makes sense
2022-06-07 14:42:00 +0200 <geekosaur> I don't do so well with the online stuff either. plus I miss the "hallway track"
2022-06-07 14:46:23 +0200 <alternateved> Currently, I am a part-time performer/dancer, pretty overwhelmed with that also, so I take what I can to find some quiet time
2022-06-07 14:48:01 +0200 <Solid> totally understandable, of course, and I've even heard of people who like online conferences!
2022-06-07 14:48:15 +0200 <Solid> but for me they're really demotivating
2022-06-07 14:49:39 +0200 <liskin> alternateved: the schedule was so packed I barely had time for lunch, not to mention any hacking at all
2022-06-07 14:49:58 +0200 <liskin> By the end of it I had a queue of YouTube recordings to catch up with
2022-06-07 14:50:20 +0200 <liskin> Haven't had a more stressful weekend... possibly ever
2022-06-07 14:53:19 +0200 <liskin> This time I'll probably try to notify attende a single presentation. If the weather's good I'll do some hiking on Friday afternoon, and then I also have Monday evening and most of Tuesday to unwind and relax.

2022-06-07 15:43:56 +0200 <moonsheep> I'm looking to customize my status bar (I'd like to be able to manually draw stuff). I have used xmobar for a long time now and it has served me well. I have made a prop logger that sends some JSON data to the status bar.
2022-06-07 15:44:08 +0200 <moonsheep> How should I go about interpreting this data from xmobar?
2022-06-07 15:44:40 +0200 <moonsheep> I have been reading its source and it seems fairly complex (a lot of TVars are used to pipe data around threads) and I'm a bit lost
2022-06-07 15:44:57 +0200 <moonsheep> Is xmobar a good choice to do this in the first place, or should I roll my own status bar?
2022-06-07 15:45:08 +0200 <moonsheep> I also heard of dzen2, is it any good?
2022-06-07 15:45:39 +0200 <geekosaur[m]> Dzen2 is very minimal
2022-06-07 15:46:29 +0200 <geekosaur[m]> I don't know of any status bar that knows what to do with JSON
2022-06-07 15:46:40 +0200 <moonsheep> How do you mean "minimal"? Ideally I would like to be able to customize it "from the inside" (as in, interpreting the data xmonad sends me and doing stuff with it)
2022-06-07 15:47:17 +0200 <geekosaur[m]> All it does is display text
2022-06-07 15:47:22 +0200 <alternateved> Did you check taffybar?
2022-06-07 15:47:37 +0200 <moonsheep> geekosaur[m]: well I'm pretty sure xmobar can display a fair bit more than just text
2022-06-07 15:47:43 +0200 <moonsheep> alternateved: nope
2022-06-07 15:47:56 +0200 <moonsheep> Hmm, looks interesting
2022-06-07 15:49:28 +0200 <moonsheep> Btw, in case it isn't clear I don't intend the status bar to interpret the JSON directly. I'm merely using it to be able to send haskell records through xmonadPropLog
2022-06-07 15:49:45 +0200 <moonsheep> (which only works with strings)

2022-06-07 17:23:23 +0200 <moonsheep> Is there an easy way to patch it without having to upload a new package to hackage?
2022-06-07 17:23:35 +0200 <moonsheep> Where does stack write the package sources?
2022-06-07 17:27:11 +0200 <geekosaur> in a temporary directory, and removes them after. You probably want `stack unpack`
