| 2021-09-09 07:19:33 | <Solid> | I was thinking of uploading mine somewhere, but no one wants to see these commit messages :D |
| 2021-09-09 07:23:34 | <mc47> | yeah, mine ain't the best either :p |

| 2021-09-09 08:13:22 | <amenonsen> | where's your thesis? |
| 2021-09-09 08:13:44 | <liskin> | abhixec: I don't think there's a way to not have floats on top :-/ |
| 2021-09-09 08:15:09 | <liskin> | abhixec: it's not an insurmountable issue; one could create a layout that emulated the floating layer but used the Stack order instead, perhaps there might already be something like this in xmonad-contrib |
| 2021-09-09 08:15:50 | <liskin> | abhixec: but it's quite likely it won't integrate well with the rest of xmonad |
| 2021-09-09 08:17:22 | <liskin> | I've been thinking recently about what core changes we'd need to improve the situation w.r.t floats and sublayouts etc., but it'd be a major change, so it's not realistic to fix this without throwing most of the existing code out the window :-/ |

| 2021-09-09 08:20:41 | <amenonsen> | cool. congratulations. |
| 2021-09-09 08:21:17 | <mc47> | thanks! |
| 2021-09-09 08:24:38 | <liskin> | mc47: nice, congrats! |
| 2021-09-09 08:24:49 | <liskin> | so now we both take a break, right? :-) |
| 2021-09-09 08:26:46 | <mc47> | thanks! Yeah, I'm definitely going to visit a friend of mine for the weekend |
| 2021-09-09 08:27:07 | <mc47> | But I think I'll have time to work next week, until the rest of my friends are finished with their theses :D |
| 2021-09-09 08:38:23 | <liskin> | :-)) |
| 2021-09-09 08:39:57 | <liskin> | isn't it a bit weird that you're all finishing the theses just before the winter semester starts? |
| 2021-09-09 08:40:36 | <liskin> | are you going to continue with a masters programme or does finishing the thesis after the application deadline mean you need to take a half-year break? |
| 2021-09-09 08:41:47 | <Solid> | liskin: in germany you normally write your Bachelors or Masters theses in the last semester of the respective degree, which happens to always be the summer semester |
| 2021-09-09 08:42:02 | <Solid> | so finishing around this time is actually completely normal |
| 2021-09-09 08:42:30 | <liskin> | Solid: it's exactly the same in the Czech Republic, but the summer semester ends in June |
| 2021-09-09 08:42:51 | <liskin> | and the application deadline is somewhere in July I think |
| 2021-09-09 08:43:39 | <liskin> | oh, but tum.de says summer semester ends at the end of September |
| 2021-09-09 08:43:45 | <liskin> | that explains this a bit |
| 2021-09-09 08:43:51 | <Solid> | lectures usually end in july here, with a month or two of exam period |
| 2021-09-09 08:43:57 | <liskin> | still a bit confused about the application deadline though |
| 2021-09-09 08:44:01 | <mc47> | you have plenty of time to submit |
| 2021-09-09 08:44:15 | <Solid> | application deadlines greatly depend on whether you're switching uni or not |
| 2021-09-09 08:44:26 | <Solid> | if you're not then the deadline is like the end of sep |
| 2021-09-09 08:44:35 | <liskin> | I see |
| 2021-09-09 08:44:56 | <mc47> | I think you have to give your bachelor's degree by the end of november |
| 2021-09-09 08:44:57 | <Solid> | and even if you are you don't necessarily have to have everything done when you apply (there's something like an "80% of all credits" rule when applying to another uni in germany) |
| 2021-09-09 08:45:12 | <mc47> | and the deadlines are "registration date + 4 months" |
| 2021-09-09 08:45:49 | <mc47> | Yeah, in my particular master's program I have till september of 2022 to submit my bachelor's degree |
| 2021-09-09 08:46:13 | <mc47> | (at TUM it doesn't really matter, you can extend your bachelor's with one semester and study your master courses in that semester) |
| 2021-09-09 08:47:48 | <liskin> | now that I look at the semester dates more carefully it's obvious what the difference between cz and de is |
| 2021-09-09 08:47:58 | <liskin> | you guys don't have two-month summer holidays |
| 2021-09-09 08:49:09 | <Solid> | depends when your exams are, usually |
| 2021-09-09 08:49:26 | <Solid> | when they're all in july already you have plenty of holidays |
| 2021-09-09 08:49:49 | <liskin> | yeah, but here the exam period and holidays are two separate things :-) |
| 2021-09-09 08:50:03 | <Solid> | ah, that depends on who you ask :P |
| 2021-09-09 08:50:38 | <liskin> | well yeah, I've heard that some profs do exams outside of the official semester dates |
| 2021-09-09 08:50:54 | <liskin> | but at the compsci faculty that wasn't common |
| 2021-09-09 08:50:55 | <Solid> | yes, this is especially common for oral exams |
| 2021-09-09 08:51:12 | <liskin> | we'd be done by mid-June and then slack off until mid-September |
| 2021-09-09 08:51:15 | <Solid> | (and I haven't had a written exam in 3 years now so... you can imagine how my exam schedule looked like :D) |
| 2021-09-09 08:52:26 | <amenonsen> | editing my xmonad.hs feels like an exam, especially the "anxiously awaiting the results" part. |
| 2021-09-09 08:52:28 | <liskin> | (or get a summer job or an internship, in which case 3 months of guaranteed holidays is kind of nice, although I've never done that, I did part-time all year long) |

| 2021-09-09 09:01:55 | <mc47> | I hate the way the exams are structured in germany |
| 2021-09-09 09:02:07 | <mc47> | and it doesn't match any other country |
| 2021-09-09 09:02:41 | <mc47> | which is terrible, because when I'm on vacation and I want to go to tunisia, it's highly likely that all my friends are having their exams |

| 2021-09-09 16:33:11 | <abhixec> | cjb yes I am using pipewire, mc47: https://github.com/abhixec/dotfiles/tree/master/xmonad |
| 2021-09-09 16:56:33 | <abhixec> | liskin: thanks! I am just curious how to people handle use cases when say you open a bunch of apps which need to be on same workspace. |
| 2021-09-09 16:58:51 | <liskin> | abhixec: xmonad workflows of people vary wildly, so can't speak for all, but I personally almost never use floats for windows that are there to stay |
| 2021-09-09 16:59:08 | <abhixec> | liskin: is there a way instead to kind of find all floating and send them to like a different workspace (similar to NSP) |
| 2021-09-09 16:59:30 | <abhixec> | liskin: but then just curious how do you handle multiple apps in the same workspace? |
| 2021-09-09 16:59:42 | <abhixec> | or is that not a scenario you encounter at all? |
| 2021-09-09 16:59:46 | <liskin> | I use floats for temp stuff like dialogs and short-lived terminals and the media player and volume control |
| 2021-09-09 17:00:15 | <liskin> | multiple apps? well, those windows are in the tiling layer |
| 2021-09-09 17:00:21 | <liskin> | it's a tiling window manager, after all :-) |
| 2021-09-09 17:00:55 | <geekosaur> | https://hackage.haskell.org/package/xmonad-contrib-0.16/docs/XMonad-Layout-Drawer.html is one way to do it |
| 2021-09-09 17:01:24 | <abhixec> | yes true but then when you have say 7 apps(not ideal to have in a workspace but just humor me) they start to be very squished how to ahndle that |
| 2021-09-09 17:01:36 | <Solid> | fullscreen :D |
| 2021-09-09 17:01:59 | <liskin> | abhixec: if I really must have that many apps in a single workspace, I usually tab those windows together |
| 2021-09-09 17:02:05 | <liskin> | (via sublayouts) |
| 2021-09-09 17:02:30 | <abhixec> | interesting guess my mind is still stuck in the floating/stacking paradigm. |
| 2021-09-09 17:02:59 | <liskin> | you can also make keybindings that make some windows transparent |
| 2021-09-09 17:03:10 | <liskin> | I sometimes do something like that |
| 2021-09-09 17:03:29 | <liskin> | just leave the float in front of the other windows and then frantically move it around every time I need to see behind it :-)) |
| 2021-09-09 17:03:58 | <Solid> | hah |
| 2021-09-09 17:04:10 | <liskin> | and surely you can have a keybinding that sends all floats away, although not sure if there's an existing module doing that |
| 2021-09-09 17:04:21 | <liskin> | it's really simple to code that, but you'd need to know a bit of Haskell |
| 2021-09-09 17:04:53 | <abhixec> | yes I am in the process of learning haskell :) |
| 2021-09-09 17:05:46 | <abhixec> | how to make a window transparent? do you have an example or link? |
| 2021-09-09 17:06:28 | <geekosaur> | https://hackage.haskell.org/package/xmonad-contrib-0.16/docs/XMonad-Hooks-FadeWindows.html |
| 2021-09-09 17:07:08 | <geekosaur> | of course you need to be running a compositor for transparency to work |
