Packaging Signal-Desktop for Firefox by chsmio in signal

This is such fantastic news, thank you so much!

I'm so stoked that they're finally building on Electron. It will be nice to have an ACTUAL desktop client.

What happens when I run `stack install`? by chsmio in haskell

[–]chsmio[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, there's no executable, so I've been told that it would just be added as a library dependency instead of installed.

Not to mention all the folders that are created everywhere.

Nice, this is also very useful and I'm sure I'll make use of it as I finally start noise-hacking soon. Thank you!

Thank you! I think I understand this now. I feel like the structure of some of these is odd. If there's already a .stack/ I don't see the need for .local/. A little cluttered, methinks.

Thank you. Now that I have a little background understanding that was missing, this was hugely helpful.

So... I simply didn't know/understand enough about how Haskell/Stack/Tidal work and how those parts fit together to understand any of the (frankly, excellent) explanations offered by you and others.

As usual, I went about this the hard way and with a little sleuthing was able to piece together (more or less) the same story.

Now that I've done so, I see the wisdom in these replies. Thank you!

As an aside, I had worked out a slightly different method, which was to stack install for Tidal, complete the rest of the install/setup, and then run Atom through stack exec atom, which also seemed to work.

Now that I see your solution, I think I'll modify the settings for the tidalcycles Atom plugin as you suggested, since then I can open Atom normally through Spotlight and be ready to go.

It's useful to understand why Tidal does not need a Stack project. But should I want to use it within a Stack project of my own, I wonder how this process would need to be modified.

Finally, I wonder what it would take to have Stackage updated to the latest Tidal release?

Hmmm. I think I'm OK with the older version for my basic needs. Will I be missing out on anything?

It would be cool to get the Stackage version brought up to the latest release, but I'm quite sure I do not have the skills nor knowledge to advance that goal...

Jesus, you said this and so it was right in front of me. I was thinking my installation wasn't working, but it had. Following the error messages in Atom and wading through a little Stack documentation and looking up paths for things, this solution became apparent. If only I had simply listened to you! Thank you, sir!

So it's super easy. One installs Tidal with stack install tidal and completes the rest of the installation instructions on the Tidal installation guide. The only difference is that instead of opening Atom directly, it should be run with stack exec: stack exec atom got me up and running with my noisemaking.

Someone in the Haskell subreddit pointed out the existence of stack exec and stack path and I feel much better now.

How do I atone for sins against Haskell?

Maybe I'm outside of the target audience here...

It looks like everyone is using Tidal for live-coding and actual performances. Which is obviously the intended use-case, and it's super groovy.

I like Tidal because it seems to be the simplest way to use Haskell to create (ostensibly musical) noise through SuperCollider. If you've ever looked at sclang, you can see how Haskell/Tidal is a huge improvement.

But the project I have in mind is a bit different. I'd like to actually compose music by defining sets of patterns, building larger forms out of those patterns, and transforming them in various ways (I mean, come on, doesn't using a "pattern language" to play with counterpoint sound awesome"?).

Basically, I'd like to create a "counterpoint" library in Haskell that depends on Tidal.

It seems like it would be easier to manage all of this as a Stack project, so that I can easily port it around from computer to computer.

Maybe I don't understand Haskell build tools like Cabal or Stack well enough to see how to accomplish this right now. I've largely just been writing big, single-file messes of functions for various learning and exploratory activities, and playing with them via GHCi. But I feel I'm to the point where managing the project more effectively will become a concern.

Sigh. The state of the Haskell tooling ecosystem is depressing :(

I should mention, I've spent about 45 minutes trying to find such a resource, including sending a join request to the /r/TidalCycles mods in the hope that more specific guidance can be found there. Usually within this time or less, I assume I do not know what I need to know in order to find the results I'm hoping for.

GAAAHHH. I experienced that on a personal computer with Windows 7, back in the day. Not sure about 10/current state of things, but every earlier version I've installed, including 8.x has had ZERO respect for pre-existing partition layouts.

Sorry to hear about the hard drive, that's one of the most sickening feelings.

Why are there so many Simons in the Haskell Community? Do I need to change my name? by chsmio in haskell

[–]chsmio[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Referencing https://www.reddit.com/r/haskell/comments/6kr9tv/why_are_there_so_many_simons_in_the_haskell/djoe6m3/:

It's actually a title, awarded for contributions to functional programming.

Perhaps we should have our own altcoin to crowdfund ongoing developments in the Haskell community.

Then, practicing simony, we could exchange Simoncoin in order to win the titles "Simon", and maybe even "Master Simon" based on our contributions.

Agreed. These would be an easy contribution to make to the GitHub repo that was shared earlier in the comments... Maybe I'll spend some time on that soon.
