Linking Smaller Haskell Binaries | Brandon Simmons' website

Haskell binaries can get quite large (think ~100MB), especially for projects with many transitive dependencies. Here are two strategies that can help at link time, the latter being more experimental. I used the test-pandoc binary from pandoc on GHC 9.2.5 below. This was nice because obviously it was easy to test if linking broke anything (just run the tests). -split-sections and --gc-sections You can instruct ghc to emit code in individual minimal sections, allowing the linker to easily find and remove dead code. This looks like, in your cabal.project:

"The Albuquerque exhibition and e-zine BorderPlex explores the deceptive simplicity of man-made boundaries — physical and social alike."

running malcom but the old malcolm - need to image and install latest - sort of dread going from debian to ubuntu but if i image i can revert easily. maybe they figured out updating, i don't want github only updates.

anyways it is a good one to offer vs say security onion - they use the same components mostly, suricata, zeek, elastic, maybe he has a live iso like last time.

i think the reason to go to ubuntu is better newer drivers, bigger dev base? as long as it works - that is my concern, avoid dependency hell and breakage.

it is good with managing all the containers and space for /datastore #sigs #hashes #dpi #netflow #ntop-ng #tcp-replay #binaries #hashcat

📍 What might a #queer and truly #democratic future in planetary #health, science, and medicine look like?

Is it not time, at long last, to queer #science, #medicine, #arts, hegemonic #binaries, and #public spaces?

📍 And as informed by critical theory and a #power and #politics lens because inclusion without equity and without #redistribution of power is not just.

Ah, yes, the thrilling saga of directory taxonomy 😴—a gripping tale of deciding which dusty corner each binary should inhabit. 🗂️ Because nothing screams "cutting-edge tech" like a debate on whether 'kill' belongs in 'bin' or 'usrbin'. 🤣 Truly, a riveting read for anyone who finds sorting socks exhilarating. 👏

Huge binaries

A problem I experienced when pursuing my PhD and submitting academic articles was that I had built solutions to problems that required dramatic scale to be effective and worthwhile. Responses to my publication submissions often claimed such problems did not exist; however, I had observed them during my time within industry, such as at Google, but I couldn’t cite it!
