I would highly recommend Andreas Herrmann's "GHC Hacking Newcomer Guide" talk to anyone looking to get started hacking on GHC; it's a wealth of information communicated clearly and succinctly.

At this point it is looking likely that GHC will be moving to LLVM as its native toolchain on Windows; this will hopefully allow us to bypass many of the path and process issues that we have been historically fought with. Current plan can be found here:https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/issues/17777 …

Perhaps the most shocking discovery of this entire ordeal is that it is literally *not possible* to reliably invoke the mingw toolchain we've been using for the last decade as it uses to its use of `exec`.

Thankfully, I have the benefit of Phyx, GHC's resident Windows expert; however, even with his help trying to get GHC's Windows CI infrastructure to reliably pass has taken weeks and the end still seems a point on the horizon.

Between vague documentation, decades of compatibility hacks, hacks on top of those hacks, a fundamentally different file and process model to POSIX, and the occasional toolchain bug, the amount of effort necessary to truly *support* Windows seems nothing short of herculean.

I'm not sure how many people appreciate just how much of a maintenance challenge Windows represents for many open-source projects. Before I started working on GHC I had assumed it was bad. However, now I know; no, it's much much worse.

What does the cited website say? Let's see: When refusing SMTP transactions, our mail servers generate SMTP errors with information .... To find the error message, check your mail logs. Most of the errors will also include a URL that provides more information.

There is no reason why citizens should need to pay to access the research that their tax dollars paid for. Help tell the ACM that it is past time to leave paid-access publishing in the past where it belongs.https://twitter.com/EelcoVisser/status/1214287782690074627 …

As someone who literally receives half-a-dozen of these a day, I can say with certainty that this will improve my life markedly. At the moment I essentially ignore my phone entirely since essentially all incoming calls are either unwanted or not time-critical.https://twitter.com/SenatorShaheen/status/1212798496472010752 …

This has been possible for a few years now but my holiday project (to be included in 8.10.2) makes the mechanism significantly more robust.
