2020-11-19 17:03:05 × invaser quits (~Thunderbi@31.148.23.125) (Ping timeout: 240 seconds)
2020-11-19 17:03:10 <he9388> I get some message like this:Couldn't figure out what GHC version the project is using: /home/he/.config/Code/User/globalStorage/haskell.haskell/haskell-language-server-wrapper-0.6.0-linux --project-ghc-version exited with exit code 1: Module "/home/he/Documents/learn4haskell/a" is loaded by Cradle: Cradle {cradleRootDir =

2020-11-19 17:03:17 <merijn> he9388: Let's rewind further: What OS? :p
2020-11-19 17:03:20 jlamothe joins (~jlamothe@198.251.55.207)
2020-11-19 17:03:26 <he9388> I am on Ubuntu
2020-11-19 17:03:41 <merijn> he9388: If you run "which ghc" in your shell, what do you get?
2020-11-19 17:03:55 byorgey joins (~byorgey@155.138.238.211)
2020-11-19 17:04:20 heatsink joins (~heatsink@107-136-5-69.lightspeed.sntcca.sbcglobal.net)
2020-11-19 17:04:25 <he9388> Ok, weird, I ran in two different directory and got two different location :)
2020-11-19 17:04:44 <he9388> One I get: /usr/bin/ghc. The other: /home/he/.ghcup/bin/ghc
2020-11-19 17:05:15 <merijn> The first is probably from your package manager, the second from ghcup. So step one is figuring out which you want :p
2020-11-19 17:05:26 invaser joins (~Thunderbi@31.148.23.125)
2020-11-19 17:05:55 <he9388> What's the difference :)
2020-11-19 17:06:05 <monochrom> Ubuntu's is much older.
2020-11-19 17:06:18 <he9388> Then probably I'll stick to the new one
2020-11-19 17:06:37 × ubert quits (~Thunderbi@2a02:8109:9880:303c:ca5b:76ff:fe29:f233) (Remote host closed the connection)
2020-11-19 17:06:38 <monochrom> How old? How bad? Answer: So old that only a few profs who never take a look at the current outside world still think it's in use.
2020-11-19 17:06:52 valdyn joins (~valdyn@host-88-217-143-53.customer.m-online.net)
2020-11-19 17:07:20 <monochrom> So old that it's like some Windows users hold on to Windows 98 because they still hold on to WinFax. (OK this is an exaggeration.)
2020-11-19 17:07:39 <he9388> Point taken, ready to get rid of it :)
2020-11-19 17:07:58 mananamenos joins (~mananamen@84.122.202.215.dyn.user.ono.com)
2020-11-19 17:08:14 <merijn> he9388: Also, ghcup lets you install multiple different versions at the same time so you can test across compiler versions
2020-11-19 17:08:22 <he9388> What's the proper way to get rid of it
2020-11-19 17:08:33 <monochrom> sudo apt remove
2020-11-19 17:08:50 <he9388> oh right
2020-11-19 17:08:54 <he9388> was almost going to rm -rf it...
2020-11-19 17:09:04 geekosaur joins (82659a09@host154-009.vpn.uakron.edu)
2020-11-19 17:09:24 <he9388> now it says ghc not found
2020-11-19 17:09:28 <he9388> when I run which ghc
2020-11-19 17:09:31 hackage rosebud 0.2.0.0 - Common rose tree/forest functions https://hackage.haskell.org/package/rosebud-0.2.0.0 (jship)
2020-11-19 17:10:05 <monochrom> You will need /home/he/.ghcup/bin to be an element of your PATH
2020-11-19 17:10:24 <he9388> OK, got it! Now this part works
2020-11-19 17:11:06 × motte quits (~weechat@unaffiliated/motte) (Quit: WeeChat 1.9.1)
2020-11-19 17:12:14 <he9388> Now I am getting this error message: The Haskell (learn4haskell) server crashed 5 times in the last 3 minutes. The server will not be restarted.
2020-11-19 17:12:39 cole-h joins (~cole-h@c-73-48-197-220.hsd1.ca.comcast.net)
2020-11-19 17:12:43 <merijn> hmm, what's learn4haskell?

2020-11-19 17:13:26 <he9388> It's tutorial I'm going through :)
2020-11-19 17:13:44 × acidjnk_new quits (~acidjnk@p200300d0c719ff57608036dc958592ad.dip0.t-ipconnect.de) (Ping timeout: 240 seconds)
2020-11-19 17:13:44 × chkno quits (~chkno@75-7-2-127.lightspeed.sntcca.sbcglobal.net) (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
2020-11-19 17:14:01 chkno joins (~chkno@75-7-2-127.lightspeed.sntcca.sbcglobal.net)
2020-11-19 17:14:31 <merijn> hmmm
2020-11-19 17:14:44 <he9388> Why should the extension be dependent on the server?
2020-11-19 17:15:15 <monochrom> Never heard of it.
2020-11-19 17:15:18 × jneira quits (02896ac0@gateway/web/cgi-irc/kiwiirc.com/ip.2.137.106.192) (Quit: Ping timeout (120 seconds))
2020-11-19 17:16:11 <merijn> he9388: No clue. tbh, the editor plugin landscape has evolved rather dramatically over the past year, but it isn't quite at the "works reliably in all setups" state yet
2020-11-19 17:17:01 <merijn> That said, for the vast majority of my haskell career I've worked without editor plugins just fine. It's not ideal, but I can't really recommend investing a lot of time into getting it working now
2020-11-19 17:17:22 <he9388> Having type checking would be nice :)
2020-11-19 17:17:40 <he9388> I'm just starting to develop
2020-11-19 17:18:12 <merijn> he9388: Yeah, but the current editor plugin landscape that you can either invest hours fixing things or wait a month and the plugins has improved much more :p
2020-11-19 17:18:22 <monochrom> -fdefer-type-errors achieves 90% of the same goal at 0.1% of the cost
2020-11-19 17:18:43 <merijn> monochrom: -fdefer-typed-holes >> -fdefer-type-errors :)
2020-11-19 17:19:18 <merijn> he9388: You can always try something like ghcid running in a separate terminal
2020-11-19 17:19:28 <monochrom> It means it demotes die-hard-erroring-out to just warning. This means functions that are unaffected by the type error are still usable, so you can continue to explore and figure out what to do.
2020-11-19 17:19:53 <merijn> he9388: That gets you 80% of the way there
2020-11-19 17:20:16 <monochrom> my "cost" refers to installation cost
2020-11-19 17:20:59 <monochrom> cost of one-time installing extra software and long-time babysitting said fragile perpetually-in-beta-quality software
2020-11-19 17:21:05 <he9388> Did not know about ghcide either haha
2020-11-19 17:21:06 <monochrom> s/long-time/long-term/
2020-11-19 17:21:21 <merijn> he9388: Confusingly ghcid and ghcide are different things :)
2020-11-19 17:21:22 <monochrom> Oh, and ghcid != ghcide
2020-11-19 17:21:43 <he9388> oh
2020-11-19 17:21:45 <monochrom> This is ghcid: http://hackage.haskell.org/package/ghcid
2020-11-19 17:22:05 <merijn> he9388: ghcide is what your current plugin probably uses, but it's not as robust as ghcid yet. ghcid is basically a program that just repeatedly runs compile for you and reports errors
2020-11-19 17:22:30 × larou quits (5eae2591@gateway/web/cgi-irc/kiwiirc.com/ip.94.174.37.145) (Quit: Connection closed)
2020-11-19 17:22:51 <monochrom> It is just an inotify loop over "oh you have updated Foo.hs again, so let me run ghc again so you see the error messages"
2020-11-19 17:23:17 crdrost joins (~crdrost@c-98-207-102-156.hsd1.ca.comcast.net)
2020-11-19 17:23:32 <monochrom> I think it is very misleading to call it anything related to IDE.
2020-11-19 17:23:44 <monochrom> I would describe it as continuous smoke-testing
2020-11-19 17:24:04 <sm[m]> I will say that VS Code + Haskell extension is quite likely to just work and give he9388 a really nice experience these days
2020-11-19 17:24:15 <monochrom> You save a file, it reruns type checking, build checking, and test cases.
2020-11-19 17:24:19 <he9388> I am using VS Code + Haskell extension actually...
2020-11-19 17:24:41 <sm[m]> he9388: isn't it giving you realtime type errors, types on hover, etc ?
2020-11-19 17:24:50 <merijn> monochrom: Well to be fair it was "ghci daemon", presumably
2020-11-19 17:25:01 <merijn> sm[m]: Well, no, it kept crashing, hence the start of this discussion :p
2020-11-19 17:25:08 <he9388> Oh, the extension is not loading: when I make new folder, I got "The Haskell (test) server crashed 5 times in the last 3 minutes. The server will not be restarted"
2020-11-19 17:25:19 <sm[m]> oops, missed that. #haskell-ide-engine would help
2020-11-19 17:25:28 <sm[m]> would also help.
2020-11-19 17:25:35 <he9388> Ok, thank you for the reference

2020-11-19 17:42:08 <koz_> monochrom: I don't recall if it was you, but someone complained that we say 'Big-O', not 'Big-omikron'. Bird and Gibbons' algorithms book is here to right this wrong!
