Getting a Shell in the Docker Desktop Mac VM

2021 Update: Easiest option is Justin's repo and image

Just run this from your Mac terminal and it'll drop you in a container with full permissions on the Docker VM. This also works for Docker for Windows for getting in Moby Linux VM (doesn't work for Windows Containers).

docker run -it --rm --privileged --pid=host justincormack/nsenter1

Syntactic sugar for step-by-step annotated functions in pointfree style

When defining complex functions in pointfree style, I often find myself switching to pointful style. Sometimes, I even convert to ANF and annotate the types to understand the steps.

After completing the function definition, I often convert back to pointfree style for conciseness. End of the story: To understand it again a couple of weeks later, I start expanding to annotated pointful again.

The small 10-lines library at the end of this post allows to define pointfree functions with intermediate type annotations.

Credits: Agda and EqReasoning for syntactical inspiration.

1. Mastering Functions

A function is a mapping from one set, called a domain, to another set, called the codomain. A function associates every element in the domain with exactly one element in the codomain. In Scala, both domain and codomain are types.

Notes on GHC make

How ghc --make works

In abstract, the job of ghc --make is very simple: compute a dependency graph between modules, and rebuild the ones that have changed. Unfortunately, the code in GhcMake is quite a bit more complicated than that, and some of this complexity is essential to the design of GHC:

  • Interaction with GHCi involves mutating process-global state.

How to set up git to use the GPG Suite

GPG and git on macOS

Setup

No need for homebrew or anything like that. Works with https://www.git-tower.com and the command line.

  1. Install https://gpgtools.org -- I'd suggest to do a customized install and deselect GPGMail.
  2. Create or import a key -- see below for https://keybase.io
  3. Run gpg --list-secret-keys and look for sec, use the key ID for the next step
  4. Configure git to use GPG -- replace the key with the one from gpg --list-secret-keys

Michael Snoyman's personal take on PVP version upper bounds

In response to a request on Reddit, I'm writing up my thoughts on PVP upper bounds. I'm putting this in a Gist since I don't want to start yet another debate on the matter, just provide some information to someone who asked for it. Please don't turn this into a flame war :)

For those unaware: the Package Versioning Policy is a set of recommendations covering how to give version numbers to your packages, and how to set upper and lower bounds on your dependencies.

I'll start by saying: I support completely with the PVP's recommendations on how to assign version numbers. While there are plenty of points in this design space, the PVP is an unobjectionable one, and consistency in the community is good. On multiple occasions, I have reached out to package authors to encourage compliance with this. (However, I've always done so privately, as opposed to a statement on Reddit, as I believe that to be a more likely route to successful convincing.)

The issue aro
