| 05:15:27 | Solid | doesn't think that xmonad is all that much harder than i3 tbh |
| 05:15:44 | <Solid> | just have to read the ready bits :) |

| 07:27:33 | <Solid> | what is the URL to the other matrix server that's bridged here? |
| 07:27:38 | <Solid> | is it just https://matrix.to/#/#xmonad ? |
| 07:29:37 | <liskin> | Solid: https://matrix.to/#/#xmonad:matrix.org |
| 07:30:16 | <Solid> | ah, thanks! |
| 07:33:32 | <liskin> | seems like github sponsors won't get set up before I leave :-/ |
| 07:34:08 | <Solid> | :( |
| 07:34:22 | <liskin> | taking the train to Glasgow later today and then a multi-day hike |
| 07:34:35 | <liskin> | forecast is good, just the backpack is a bit on the heavy side |
| 07:36:33 | <Solid> | oh that sounds pretty nice |
| 07:37:22 | <Solid> | hiking in the scottisch highlands; living the dream :P |
| 07:37:55 | <liskin> | :-) |
| 07:38:08 | <liskin> | I wonder if it's really that special |
| 07:39:36 | <liskin> | I'm quite used to having easy access to hills around Czechoslovakia, and this southeast England is quite a disappointment in this regard, so I kind of expect Scotland to be just as good as "home" :-) |
| 07:40:00 | <liskin> | but perhaps I shall be pleasantly surprised |
| 07:40:09 | <Solid> | like home, but with rain! :> |

| 09:46:55 | <liskin> | have I told you that package versions in cabal ale limited to 8 digits in every component? |

| 10:35:51 | <liskin> | yep |
| 10:36:29 | <liskin> | the only other thing I was thinking of adding was a afterManageHook, but then I decided this one can really wait post-release |
| 10:36:53 | <liskin> | oh, no |
| 10:37:15 | <liskin> | actually https://github.com/xmonad/xmonad-contrib/issues/94 might benefit from a change in the extensibleState type |
| 10:38:07 | <liskin> | having a Map indexed by Strings, all of which start by "XMonad." means every single lookup jumps through a lot of pointers |
| 10:38:34 | <liskin> | not sure if actually relevant with all the other Stringery around, though |
| 10:49:46 | <Solid> | probably not |

| 17:21:39 | <themc47> | I'm confused, and I'm not sure if I'm doing anything wrong |
| 17:21:56 | <themc47> | oh let me change the handle |
| 17:21:56 | × | themc47 quits (~mc47@xmonad/TheMC47) (Quit: Leaving) |

| 17:22:19 | <mc47> | better |
| 17:23:05 | <mc47> | so, I pulled the most recent version of xmonad, removed my build file and pressed the keybinding to recompile my config |
| 17:23:15 | <mc47> | (I'm using stack) |
| 17:23:42 | <mc47> | it kept telling me that it'll use ghc since no build file is found |
| 17:24:12 | <mc47> | after digging around, I found the the xmonad executable is _really_ old (2020) |
| 17:25:37 | <mc47> | so I had to recompile the xmonad package to get it working |
| 17:25:40 | <Solid> | the xmonad you're running is probably the xmonad-ARCH executable in your config dir |
| 17:25:44 | <mc47> | I am doing something wrong aren't I? |
| 17:26:39 | <mc47> | OH |
| 17:27:29 | <mc47> | I have a package.yaml file, so my compiled config isn't named xmonad |
| 17:27:33 | <mc47> | wait that doesn't make sense |
| 17:28:00 | <mc47> | no it does |
| 17:28:28 | <mc47> | now I need to remember why I added package.yaml in the first place... |
| 17:29:07 | <mc47> | btw, in the default config, we recompile and restart xmonad by invoking the xmonad executable |
| 17:29:26 | <mc47> | Isn't that odd? Isn't it better to just call the responsible function? |
| 17:29:36 | <mc47> | s/function/functions/ |
| 17:32:28 | <geekosaur> | we used to do that |
| 17:32:37 | <geekosaur> | I'm still not sure why it changed |
| 17:34:49 | <mc47> | I'm not even sure we can expect to find the "xmonad" executable, right? |
| 17:35:14 | <geekosaur> | right. there's some code to check for it |
| 17:35:31 | <geekosaur> | that said, we still have to find it since we need to restart afterward |
| 17:38:06 | <mc47> | I'm talking about the plain xmonad executable, not xmonad-ARCH |
| 17:38:47 | <mc47> | as far as I see, unless xmonad is installed through a package manager, an executable with the name "xmonad" shouldn't be generated |
| 17:39:11 | <mc47> | unless the user builds the cloned xmonad repository |
| 17:42:18 | <mc47> | so basically I've been running two core versions, one to recompiles my config, and the other is recompiled with the config :D |
| 17:43:00 | <mc47> | I think this means that the install instructions probably won't work :/ |
| 17:43:25 | <mc47> | at no point is an executable with the name "xmonad" is generated and put on the path |
| 17:44:29 | <mc47> | > Installing things is as easy as typing stack install. This will install the correct version of GHC, as well as build all of the required packages (stack build) and then copy the relevant executables (xmonad, in our case) to ~/.local/bin. Make sure to add that directory to your $PATH |
| 17:44:30 | <lambdabot> | <hint>:1:93: error: parse error on input ‘of’ |
| 17:44:40 | <mc47> | I was wrong, that should cover it |
| 17:55:17 | <Solid> | phew |
| 18:00:12 | <mc47> | geekosaur it was changed in 6e1c5e9 to make restarting and recompiling asynchronous |
| 18:03:35 | <mc47> | seems a bit hacky tbh, but not sure if it's worth it to change it |
