The type signature for `update` looks off. Tho, I dont know why the compiler doesnt catch that.
2019-02-03T13:41:18.816100
Ashton

Should be `Msg -> Model -> Model`, not just `Model -> Model`
2019-02-03T13:41:25.816600

(right?)

<@Ashton> it also says `view : Model -&gt; Html Model`
2019-02-03T14:08:25.819300
Nana
elmlang

which I guess would actually work together with `update : Model -&gt; Model` :stuck_out_tongue:

Nana
elmlang

Huh, yeah. I recall some funny type signature stuff leading to some confusing error messages before. One time we had a confusing error message, because none of us could see that for `f : a -&gt; b`, one possible value for `b` is `c -&gt; d -&gt; e -&gt; f`, which means that `a -&gt; c -&gt; d -&gt; e -&gt; f` is a kind of `a -&gt; b`.
2019-02-03T14:17:54.822500

Is HamT array still a thing?
2019-02-03T16:49:02.830100
Garnet
elmlang
general
it was removed basically for simplicity; you can often use thunks (so `\_ -&gt; loadsOfWork` ) to prevent expensive computations when they are not used
2019-02-03T16:49:12.830300
Virgie
elmlang
general
HAMT is now the core `Array`
2019-02-03T16:49:22.830600
Virgie
elmlang
general
the other thing that lazy did was memoization (so, requesting an answer twice would only compute it once, then store it) and that is not possible implicitly any more
2019-02-03T16:50:03.831400
Virgie
elmlang

Hm, shame ^^
2019-02-03T16:50:18.831600

And okay, benchmark still a thing? The git repo seems to suggest it's only 0.18
2019-02-03T16:50:34.832000

it moved to `elm-explorations/benchmark`

Nana

it sounds useful, but using it well was/is hard. If I remember correctly the number of practical use cases wasn't that large and it required some js tricks to make it work. Taking into account future garbage collection it was deemed not useful enough

Sorry for so many questions, but "import Time" fails? Says it's part of core though, so I'm confused.

Hm, old native Canvas seemed a bit more powerful. Seems I might have to mod this a bit to draw individual pixels well
2019-02-03T17:08:54.838200

Or not sure how good making a single rect for each pixel would be
2019-02-03T17:12:22.838700

custom elements?
2019-02-03T17:12:47.839200
Garnet
elmlang

yea, in current browsers (last couple of years) you can create your own html tags/elements from JS
2019-02-03T17:13:17.839700
Virgie
elmlang
general
and these can be instantiated from elm, and given input via attributes
2019-02-03T17:13:40.840400
Virgie
elmlang

which the element (via some js) can turn into whatever
2019-02-03T17:13:51.840800
Virgie
elmlang

Hm, well the normal Canvas in JS alraedy has pixel-setting functions, but seems elm doesn't expose those
2019-02-03T17:14:07.841100
Garnet
elmlang

Did you solve this? I think youre getting your error is because `elm-lang/lazy` is not upgraded to Elm 0.19
2019-02-03T17:14:17.841300
Ashton
elmlang
general
exactly, but rather than hacking the elm api, you can use a custom element and some JS to keep the image generation in pure elm, but the precise rendering logic (setting pixels etc) in JS. "hacking" the elm api to draw individual pixels will likely be awkward
2019-02-03T17:15:06.842600
Virgie

I might just try with rects and see if its okay

Does anyone have experience with a `doctest` equivalent for elm? Where you can write unit tests as comments above the function where it’s implemented. Had a quick look around and <https://github.com/stoeffel/elm-verify-examples> seemed like the nicest implementation, is there any others that I should consider?

This is a bit of a stretch, but here goes: I remember seeing a post in <#C0LUAGWRK|jobs> by a Berlin-based company (as far as I remember they were a web agency). They had open-sourced their employee handbook, and it looked amazing.

I’m working on a spa. There’s a page with all kinds of filters, and I want to add those filter values as query parameters to the url, but without re-initializing the page, because that would trigger some api requests that are only needed once on init. What would be a good way to do that?
2019-02-04T03:36:49.859700

<@Hwa> `Browser.Navigation.replaceUrl` should do that for you

Wondering if your router can be aware that no page transition is needed and send the path update messages in via a non init mechanism
2019-02-04T03:59:39.862600
Simon
elmlang
general
I wouldn’t know how. `replaceUrl` and `pushUrl` both cause the `onUrlChange` message set in `Browser.application`, and there’s only a `Url` attached to that.
2019-02-04T04:10:34.864800
Hwa
elmlang
general
I could save the Url to the model, and on url change check whether `.path` stays the same. That would catch any changes to the query parameters.
2019-02-04T04:12:55.866000
Hwa
elmlang
general
Just because you have a new url doesn’t mean you have to have a new model, per Simons point. Your router needn’t start by tossing the old model if the path should show the same page. Then you can pass a message into that pages update to reflect the query params in question

Some people have reported issues with accessing Elm’s sites from countries where Telegram being blocked, (e.g Russia). Elm is hosted on AWS within the same ip range, and theres not a lot that can be done about that! The usual advice is to use a VPN :slightly_smiling_face:

Lynne
elmlang

I don't think it really matters if you have one port for incoming and one port for outgoing data. Depending on your requirements you can have plenty of them. What's more important is to stop treating JS part as if it is an HTTP backend
2019-02-05T03:21:00.890300

That's my conclusion at least :slightly_smiling_face:
2019-02-05T03:21:23.890700
Lynne
elmlang
general
But since most of the time I am sending values to JS and get values from JS having different ports is just a way to tag messages. Which can also be done with type at Elm side and strings at JS side
2019-02-05T03:23:24.892100
Lynne

<@Danika> really it's "one port for each thing you want to communicate with"

imagine you have a server and you've got 10 connections to it and you're sending messages to it over those 10 connections, it's going to be hard to send those messages in any kind of order
2019-02-05T03:25:35.893800
Earlean
elmlang

with 1 connection you can send a batch of messages and then wait for a reply

Ah yes that’s reassuring
2019-02-05T03:27:40.896000
Danika

but if you have 20 servers you need to have 20 connections and you're generally not going to expect to be able to maintain an order in the messaging between all 20 servers

The way Elm ports are designed is the 'actor model', it's what Erlang does.
