08:53:59 <mc47> heck-to-the-gnom oh thanks! By dynamic I want it to be always redrawrn whenever *any* screen gets attached

08:56:07 thunderrd joins (~thunderrd@183.182.115.72)
08:56:14 <mc47> currently #463 it optimistic and only spawn or kills things if the corresponding screen get attached or detached
08:57:26 ericsagnes joins (~ericsagne@2405:6580:0:5100:28ac:b0b7:174e:3f67)
08:58:15 <mc47> Not sure if we should support killing *everything* and spawning the necessary things in the module, or if I should whip up a personal solution
08:59:49 <mc47> (the problem with trayer: it's spawned on screen 0, which is my laptop screen. If attach an external monitor, that monitor becomes screen 0. xmobar moves to the external monitor, but trayer stays on the laptop monitor)
09:00:09 <mc47> (which is ugly because my xmobar has now a trayer-shaped hole)
09:12:17 <Solid> your xmobar is a lens? :o
09:13:13 × kelnoky quits (~shao@ip1f1285ec.dynamic.kabel-deutschland.de) (Quit: WeeChat 3.0)
09:23:31 <mc47> lens in the physical sense or the haskell sense? :D
09:24:08 <mc47> my xmobar seems transparent because my background has a solid color around the edges, hence the "hole"
09:25:24 <mc47> unrelated, how can I make a layout redraw itself? :/
09:25:53 <mc47> trying to workout the problem in #213
09:26:27 <Solid> in the haskell sense :) but I got it the wrong way around (of course); it should be that trayer is the lens, as it's a trayes shaped whole in the surrounding xmobar
09:27:04 <mc47> nah I have no lenses in the haskell sense whatsoever
09:27:53 <mc47> I'm launching it as statusBarProp with mempty in the logHook
09:27:55 <Solid> (it was a bad joke, I'm sorry)
09:28:21 <mc47> (I felt it was a joke, I know too little about lenses though lol)
09:28:58 <Solid> The usual intuition of a `Lens s s a a' is "an `a' shaped whole in the structure `s'"
09:29:19 <Solid> I don't know whether there is a good solution for the layout redrawing besides M-S-<Space> and then switching to that layout again
09:29:52 <mc47> that won't work I guess
09:30:50 <mc47> a tl;dr of #213: create keybinding "modes", so basically you're trapped in an infinite submap until you press a ESC
09:31:33 <mc47> (useful if you want to move floats around or resize them with the keyboard without going crazy, for example)
09:31:37 <Solid> wasn't there a much better implementation of modal keybindings
09:32:21 <mc47> the problem is that things like kill change the windows but the layout doesn't get updated
09:32:27 <mc47> oh no idea, where?
09:32:34 <Solid> let me try to find it
09:33:03 <mc47> tbh I wanted to do the exact same thing but didn't have time for it
09:33:55 <Solid> https://gist.github.com/LSLeary/6741b0572d62db3f0cea8e6618141b2f
09:34:05 <Solid> it's another cool thing by lsleary that only needs docs last time I checked
09:34:19 <Solid> I tried contacting them about getting it into -contrib proper but they didn't reply :(
09:34:48 <Solid> it doesn't rely on recursive submaps and is thus probably a lot more stable
09:34:54 <mc47> that's awesome! they were the ones who reported the problem with kill
09:36:16 <mc47> that looks good at a first glance! they even thought of the labels so we can add a logger for it
09:36:24 <mc47> thanks Solid!
09:36:49 <Solid> npnp :)
09:37:49 deepy joins (deepy@wrongplanet/deepa)
09:39:34 <mc47> I really hope they reply, it feels "cheaty" picking up a PR
09:42:53 <Liskni_si> mc47: My config also doesn't restart panels on screens that are still connected and my trayer doesn't move. Isn't it a bit weird that in your setup trayer moves and xmobar does not?
09:43:34 <mc47> it's the other way around
09:43:44 <mc47> trayer doesn't move but xmobar does
09:43:48 <mc47> I want trayer to also move
09:44:01 <Liskni_si> And by doesn't move I probably mean it actually does move, because to stay on the screen, it needs to move when that screen changes its position.
09:44:39 <mc47> maybe I messed up the trayer parameters
09:46:06 <mc47> yep it was the parameters lol
09:47:20 <Solid> mc47: you can potentially push to their branch when picking up a pr, thus you don't need to open anything new and they still get credit with regards to the commits they've already done (if you don't squash everything :))
09:48:33 <mc47> they don't have the code in a branch I guess
09:50:22 <Solid> push other their master then, I'm sure they won't mind :D
09:51:11 <mc47> that's an option yeah!

12:39:38 <mc47> Kinda thankful the IRC channel is "low latency"... I've been sitting for hours now looking at the logs from october, because I forgot to keep references to the relevant conversations
12:40:28 <mc47> (relevant for my report, I need to talk about the community and what goes well/what doesn't)
12:41:47 <Solid> I can give you my logs for easier grepping if you want
12:43:17 <mc47> oh that won't be necessary, thanks though

14:12:56 <Liskni_si> this sounds like a nice idea: https://simonwillison.net/2021/Feb/19/office-hours/
14:14:24 <geekosaur> freebsd does that
14:20:22 <Ikosit> Hi :) I'm a haskell noob and trying to use a IO monad as "Action" of a Keypress. So I'm using the function 'io' to lift the IO monad to a X monad. But when I press the bound key, nothing happens.
14:20:43 <Ikosit> When i use the same code at the repl it works

14:26:22 <Solid> do I now need webasm support to view text in my browser
14:26:24 <Solid> what a time to be alive
14:26:32 <Solid> Liskni_si: that sounds brilliant!
14:26:41 <geekosaur> it's worse with webasm
14:26:52 <geekosaur> I had to highlight everything to be able to read any of it
14:26:59 <Solid> lol
14:27:05 <geekosaur> you don't need to use io within brightness_notify, since it's already in IO
14:30:41 <geekosaur> one common issue is that $PATH often isn't set for xmonad (this depends on the system, it is for debian-based distributions for example) so if some program isn't in /usr/bin it won't be found
14:31:31 <geekosaur> I'd check the session log (usually ~/.xsession-errors) to see if it shows anything
14:40:50 <Ikosit> geekosaur: It seems that PATH is set, because i can use e.g. 'spawn "pactl set-sink-mute @DEFAULT_SINK@ toggle"'
14:41:31 × geekosaur quits (82650c7a@130.101.12.122) (Quit: Connection closed)
14:42:44 <Ikosit> the io in brightness_notify was a relict from a time when brightness_notify had the type X ()
14:43:06 <Ikosit> Without it, brightness_notify still dosn't work

14:47:45 ADG1089__ joins (~aditya@106.214.235.119)
14:56:33 <heck-to-the-gnom> Why not just move this into a shell script and spawn that?
14:56:44 <heck-to-the-gnom> That seems much simpler to me
14:57:17 <Ikosit> I want to learn Haskell by doing
14:57:20 <Ikosit> ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
14:57:35 <Ikosit> But that would also be an option
14:59:02 <Solid> what doesn't work? only the notification or the whole thing?
15:00:25 <heck-to-the-gnom> it seems that the notification is all that's failing
15:00:30 <Ikosit> yes
15:00:36 <Ikosit> only the notification
15:01:16 <heck-to-the-gnom> pro tip I learned less than 24 hrs ago: use `<>` instead of `++`
15:01:21 seschwar joins (~seschwar@unaffiliated/seschwar)
15:01:41 <Solid> that is equivalent for string
15:02:19 <heck-to-the-gnom> Yes, but if you want to ever migrate to another data type for whatever reason, it'll be uniform, and no change'll be necessary.
15:02:34 <Solid> Ikosit: I wonder if this is another case of SIGCHLD interfering with getting a proper exit code
15:02:53 <Solid> perhaps try using the functions in https://hackage.haskell.org/package/xmonad-contrib-0.16/docs/XMonad-Util-Run.html instead of `readCreateProcess'
15:03:16 <Solid> heck-to-the-gnom: xmonad won't migrate away from String anytime soon I can assure you that ;)
15:04:12 <heck-to-the-gnom> Yes, but he is trying to learn haskel...
15:04:15 <heck-to-the-gnom> ll*
15:05:29 <Ikosit> he?
15:06:08 <Solid> s/he/they/
15:06:41 <heck-to-the-gnom> sorry, they
15:07:21 <Solid> don't get me wrong, monoids are cool (and I personally never use ++ either), but there's a time and a place for everything :)
15:07:39 <Ikosit> :P
15:08:55 <heck-to-the-gnom> Man, I have no clue what's off about what you're doing, try running a command like `touch` or something to see if it's getting ran at all, and it's not a lack of parameters or something
15:09:53 <heck-to-the-gnom> you could also ask in #haskell - they're usually willing to help
15:10:51 <Solid> (do try to use X.U.Run first, we had a problem that readProcessWithExitCode just blocks in xmonad due to SIGCHLD not too long ago here)
15:11:06 <Solid> and readCreateProcess is not so dissimilar
15:11:09 <Ikosit> it's not a lack of parameters, bc if i run it in the repl it works
15:13:20 <Solid> indeed, both functions call a function named `waitForProcess' which I think could be the issue
15:14:23 <heck-to-the-gnom> Another thing you could try: running another xmonad session on another TTY, but before you launch it, run `typescript` - this logs all things any subprocess outputs. Then you can cat `~/typescript` any errors in spawning things will appear there (in my experience, anyway)
15:15:08 <Ikosit> ok, thx for the tip

15:31:30 xaltsc joins (~xaltsc@unaffiliated/xaltsc)
15:38:01 <heck-to-the-gnom> mc47: How do you keep trayer below everything, and xmobar below that? I copied `doLower` from your config, and I tried to apply it to xmobar too, but trayer still goes below xmobar.
15:40:12 <Liskni_si> that's actually a good question that I wanted to ask as well and forgot
15:40:33 <Liskni_si> I have this abomination in my config: https://github.com/liskin/dotfiles/blob/home/.xmonad/xmonad.hs#L431-L443 and I suspect mc47 must have something else
15:45:12 <Solid> does it matter if trayer goes below xmobar if you have a trayer shaped hole in xmobar?
15:46:36 <heck-to-the-gnom> I suppose, no, but how would one make such a hole? Two bars that are dynamically resized?
15:46:49 <heck-to-the-gnom> (I have mine centered)
15:47:52 <Liskni_si> Solid: I don't :-)
15:48:30 <Solid> Liskni_si: that's fair enough :)
15:48:59 <Solid> heck-to-the-gnom: most people I've seen just make xmobar only take up 90% of the top space and put trayer into that space

16:10:43 <mc47> heck-to-the-gnom euuh, nothing, really
16:11:50 <mc47> I suspect it's a combination of the parameters I supply to trayer
16:12:06 <heck-to-the-gnom> OK, well, how does your config work then? The hole in xmobar thing that Solid suggested?
16:12:18 <mc47> probably --SetDockType true --SetPartialStrut true
16:14:07 <heck-to-the-gnom> I had the first one, but the second doesn't seem to fix it... :/
16:14:48 <mc47> there's a script that's creating a "transparent" icon in xmobar, where trayer should be. trayer was stuck on the wrong monitor, hence the hole
16:15:20 <Solid> heck-to-the-gnom: I suspect you also need to tell xmobar to not take up the whole top
16:15:52 <heck-to-the-gnom> mc47, and that's clickable?
16:15:59 <heck-to-the-gnom> trayer, beneath that, I mean
16:16:32 <mc47> trayer is rendered on top of xmobar actually
16:17:04 <mc47> xmobar doesn't know transparency AFAIK, it's just a trick with the colors so it seems transparent on my screen

16:17:40 <heck-to-the-gnom> Hm, perhaps it's the fact that I'm also using `<+> manageDocks`
16:18:18 <mc47> if you have `docks` I don't think you need that
16:19:23 <mc47> for me, I have overrideRedirect = False in xmobar
16:19:31 ADG1089__ joins (~aditya@106.214.235.119)
16:19:42 <mc47> as well as checkDock --> doLower in the manageHook
16:20:12 <mc47> oh I'm also using manageDocks...
16:20:52 <mc47> which is redundant since I also have `docks`
16:25:50 <heck-to-the-gnom> OK, well, overrideRedirect didn't seem to do much
16:27:15 <heck-to-the-gnom> Perhaps, I could make/find a function that moves an item to the second lowest position? I might be able to do that with a mess of head + tails

16:29:17 <Liskni_si> or you can just copypaste what I have
16:29:42 <heck-to-the-gnom> I'm hesitant, seeing as that thing, I barely understand, but I, I might just do it
16:30:26 <Liskni_si> oh, by all means do try to make your own thing
16:30:58 <Liskni_si> but since these windows aren't managed by xmonad, heads/tails won't really help you

16:31:31 ADG1089__ joins (~aditya@106.214.235.119)
16:31:45 <Liskni_si> you could possibly try to find the lowest managed window and restack trayer below that, which might hopefully stack the trayer above xmobar, which should be at the bottom
16:31:56 × ADG1089__ quits (~aditya@106.214.235.119) (Remote host closed the connection)
16:31:57 <Liskni_si> but that'd quite likely be more complex than what I have
16:32:50 <heck-to-the-gnom> No, just `head $ reverse down`, copy the items index, then move below.
16:33:24 <heck-to-the-gnom> But moving it to a managehook, I'm not certain on that, I'll probably reference yours for that
16:33:53 <Liskni_si> when you say "move", what do you (think you) mean exactly?
16:34:07 <Liskni_si> these docks are _unmanaged_
16:34:11 <Liskni_si> they're not in stackset
16:34:30 <Liskni_si> so xmonad won't take care of syncing the stacking order to X
16:34:59 growpotkin joins (~growpotki@130-45-30-154.dyn.grandenetworks.net)
16:39:14 <heck-to-the-gnom> Couldn't I do `checkDock --> myMovementFunction --> doIgnore`? My movement function would temporarily remap it, then, once the order has been fixed, it'd be re-ignored
16:39:31 <heck-to-the-gnom> remap, meaning placing it back into the window stack
16:41:09 <Liskni_si> it's not in the window stack until after the managehook finishes
16:41:11 <Liskni_si> so… no
16:45:39 <heck-to-the-gnom> OK, well, your thing it is then

17:26:15 <geekosaur> you can't use whenX there because if the condition is false it does return () instead of mempty

18:00:29 <heck-to-the-gnom> Well, fixing the indent caused that one to go away, there's another, but I'll only bother you with that if I can't solve it
18:01:41 <mc47> I wish there was an easy way to write the bottom symbol, so I can replace the mempty with it
18:02:00 <Solid> mc47: you use emacs right?
18:02:16 <mc47> Solid :o how did I not think of tht
18:02:17 <mc47> yes
18:02:19 <mc47> I do
18:02:28 <Solid> mc47: you can use the agda2 input method
18:02:33 <Solid> then it's just \bot
18:02:38 × growpotkin quits (~growpotki@130-45-30-154.dyn.grandenetworks.net) (Quit: ZNC 1.8.2 - https://znc.in)
18:03:05 <Solid> if you have agda2-mode installed you can switch to it with C-\ (bound to `toggle-input-method' by default)
18:03:11 <Solid> Never long for unicode again :D
18:03:21 <mc47> I'll try that, thanks for the tip!
18:03:56 <Solid> or just hack something together of course :D
18:04:01 <mc47> the funny thing is that I used emacs for Isabelle for sometime (never again, too slow) and there were a lot of fancy symbols there
18:04:24 <mc47> so much so that the plain text version of files is almost unreadable
18:04:26 <Solid> probably reasonably easy to just replace every occurance of mempty in haskell code with ⊥
18:04:34 <Solid> visually, that is
18:04:51 <mc47> well, I would, if I knew enough elisp
18:05:00 <Solid> using prettify-symbols-mode I once did something like that for elisp (lambda -> λ)
18:06:33 <Liskni_si> or XCompose
18:06:35 <Liskni_si> https://github.com/liskin/dotfiles/blob/home/.XCompose#L89
18:08:21 <mc47> huh
18:08:27 <mc47> that's also interesting
18:13:59 <Solid> mc47: http://ix.io/2RNJ
18:15:25 <mc47> awesome! thanks
18:16:13 <Solid> my pleasure! always a joy writing more LISP
18:16:20 <Solid> the advantage of this approach is that your code won't confuse anyone else :D
18:17:57 <Solid> actually that code may be slightly wrong
18:18:10 <Solid> could be better to just set the alist to that value instead of pushing it
18:18:16 <Solid> probably not a big deal though
18:18:44 <mc47> the alist is already modified
18:18:45 <mc47> a lot
18:19:29 <Solid> ah, in that case you know what to do :D
18:23:15 <mc47> it's modified, but not by me :D

18:27:01 Liskni_si decided to rebuild all Haskell stuff with -dynamic :-)
18:27:10 <Liskni_si> I wonder if/when anything breaks
18:29:56 <Solid> Oo
18:30:00 <geekosaur> nothing should break unless you forget to also build some dependent with -dynamic
18:30:41 <Liskni_si> I can't forget to build anything, as I build everything from a single home-wide stack.yaml
18:30:59 <Liskni_si> which is also why I thought it's reasonably safe to do this
18:32:02 <Solid> mc47: ah well, in that case you can decide if it's worth walking over the entire list and looking if that cons cell already exists or if it's okay to just have it there a couple of times at the end of the day :)
18:46:05 <mc47> Solid the thing is, I'm not sure where exactly it's being set
18:46:58 <mc47> I successfully added '("mempty" . ⊥) to the alist but it didn't do anything, so something else is going on there
18:47:13 <mc47> I asked in the doom discord, hopefully someone comes along
18:47:25 <Solid> make sure `prettify-symbols-mode' is actually on
18:47:28 <Solid> oh doom
18:47:37 <Solid> yeah no idea in that case :D
18:49:00 <mc47> yeah other symbols are being replaced, I think it needs more than just ⊥
18:51:10 <Solid> other symbols shouldn't really matter for this as we're explicitly associating mempty to ⊥
