16:59:27 <hackager> <ChaoticMist> It is alright imo, but was thinking of something similar to a blog post. Even a tweet with a small demo would've been alright :)
16:59:28 <hackager> <ChaoticMist> Guess I can start a series in a couple of months from now where I build a config from scratch and post about cool things you can do
16:59:30 <hackager> <Solid (@slot-> I wrote a few short posts detailing some new-ish functionality ([one](https://tony-zorman.com/posts/calling-emacs-from-xmonad.html), [two](https://tony-zorman.com/posts/xmonad-and-org-mode.html), [three](https://tony-zorman.com/posts/topic-spaces.html), [four](https://tony-zorman.com/posts/orgmode-refiling.html), [five](https://tony-zorman.com/posts/x.a.search.html)) but it's surprisingly time-consuming; plus, I only rea
16:59:31 <hackager> <Solid (@slot-> So more of that sort of content is definitely appreciated :)
16:59:32 <hackager> <ChaoticMist> TIL about those blog posts and I am liking them!
16:59:34 <hackager> <ChaoticMist> Did you try advertising them somewhere?

16:59:39 <hackager> <ChaoticMist> LMAO.. the edit broke the format.. wtf
16:59:40 <hackager> <ChaoticMist> Also, those are some damn good posts!! Going to share them on mastodon xD

16:59:44 <hackager> <ChaoticMist> Does not have to be limited to the XMonad community at all imo, could easily become a r/unixporn video where you showcase some cool stuff with your riced WM

16:59:49 <hackager> <ChaoticMist> I think I know the issue.. having ement decide the format of the message is breaking the edits
16:59:51 <hackager> <Solid (@slot-> ah, right, the option of sending messages as plaintext exists and probably breaks things in this way
16:59:52 <hackager> <Solid (@slot-> (and I think my setup is too functional for unixporn :)
16:59:53 <hackager> <beastwick> hello, trying to setup swap workspace indices with custom workspaces I have created
16:59:54 <geekosaur> ugh
16:59:54 <hackager> <beastwick> https://pastebin.com/TMrukUqz
16:59:56 <hackager> <beastwick> [((mod4Mask .|. controlMask, k), windows $ swapWithCurrent i) | (i, k) <- zip workspaces ([xK_1 .. xK_9] ++ [xK_F1 .. xK_F12])]
16:59:57 <hackager> <beastwick> I don't have a list of WorkspaceId, my workspaces I guess are a list of strings
16:59:58 <hackager> <beastwick> as set in my config
17:00:00 <hackager> <geekosaur (@geekosaur> `WorkspaceId` is an alias for `String`. your problem is that `workspaces` is a function that needs to be applied to a `XConfig`
17:00:01 <hackager> <beastwick> what is an xconfig
17:00:02 × L29Ah quits (~L29Ah@wikipedia/L29Ah) (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
17:00:02 <hackager> <geekosaur (@geekosaur> the thing you pass to `xmonad`
17:00:04 <hackager> <beastwick> I have to pass it the complete config block?
17:00:05 <hackager> <beastwick> that's weird
17:00:06 <hackager> <beastwick> there has to be a simpler way
17:00:07 <hackager> <geekosaur (@geekosaur> `workspaces` is a field name. do you expect to use it without the record to extract the field from?
17:00:09 <hackager> <beastwick> oh, that does make sense
17:00:10 <hackager> <beastwick> well, kind of
17:00:11 <hackager> <geekosaur (@geekosaur> Haskell makes it a function instead of a `foo.bar` thing
17:00:13 <hackager> <beastwick> ok, I guess I have some rearranging to do
17:00:14 <hackager> <geekosaur (@geekosaur> ct my workspace names into a separate definition and refer to that where needed
17:00:15 <hackager> <geekosaur (@geekosaur> I personally extract my workspace names into a separate definition and refer to that where needed

17:08:48 → hackager joins (~hackager@069-135-003-034.biz.spectrum.com)
17:09:18 <geekosaur> okay, I think this is properly gatewaying irc to matrix now
17:22:00 <hackager> <beastwick> yoggurt , ((mod4Mask .|. controlMask, xK_r), DW.renameWorkspace myXPConfig {defaultText = fromMaybe WN.getCurrentWorkspaceName})
17:22:11 <hackager> <beastwick> I am trying to set the default text for a change workspace name prompt
17:22:30 <hackager> <beastwick> so, basically I want to show the current workspace name I am editing
17:23:01 <hackager> <beastwick> Couldn't match type: Maybe (X (Maybe String)) -> X (Maybe String), with: [Char]
17:23:06 <hackager> <beastwick> is there a better way to do this?
17:39:23 <hackager> <geekosaur> `WN.getCurrentWorkspaceName >>= \wn -> DW.renameWorkspace myXPConfig {defaultText = fromMaybe wn}`
17:39:37 <hackager> <geekosaur> anything in `X` is a _program_, not a value
17:41:08 <hackager> <geekosaur> or as put over in #haskell IRC, slightly modified: an `X (Maybe String)` contains a `Maybe String` in the same way that `/bin/ls` contains a list of files
17:42:40 <hackager> <beastwick> ok, that helps me understand this
17:44:53 <hackager> <beastwick> Couldn't match type: Maybe (Maybe String) -> Maybe String, with: [Char]
17:52:34 <geekosaur> it would help to see the complete error message (please use https://paste.tomsmeding.com instead of pasting to the room/channel), but let me check the types
17:54:53 <geekosaur> oh, you're using `fromMaybe` wrong
17:55:02 <geekosaur> it needs a value to use when it's `Nothing`
17:55:33 <hackager> <beastwick> https://paste.tomsmeding.com/wms2LjTA
17:55:57 <geekosaur> "Probable cause: ‘fromMaybe’ is applied to too few arguments"
17:56:00 <geekosaur> as I just said
17:56:50 <geekosaur> do you understand `Maybe`?
17:57:17 <hackager> <beastwick> iffy, but I was able to get it to compile
17:57:40 <hackager> <beastwick> I get that maybe is a data type indicating it may or may not actually return the thing I am looking for
17:57:41 <geekosaur> you aren't now..
17:57:45 <hackager> <beastwick> it's either or a string, or it's nothing
17:58:00 <hackager> <beastwick> geekosaur, I added in the missing param
17:58:14 <geekosaur> yes. and `fromMaybe` lets you provide a value to use if it is `Nothing`, but you haven't provided one
17:58:30 <hackager> <beastwick> I supplied an empty string now in case it is nothing
