@vzarytovskii it really has. and it's amazing how much library code can be stable (and the standard library is). i love the language for this aspect in particular.

[Kristin Rutenkolk @Wire_Daemon]

i first though it was the bytecode that was generated by hand, but no, it was the bytecode generated by clojure.

lesson learned: don't def with const unless you *absolutely have to*

[Kristin Rutenkolk @Wire_Daemon]

clojure def with the ^:const metadata is extremely evil. if you use it on non-primitive datatypes or strings, etc, it *can* work ... to a degree. but it then might blow up spectacularly once the type of the value is being inspected. And the error is some nondescript stuff

@Aron_Adler @eternalism_4eva @psychiel it doesn't? you always weigh the chance that your initial guess was right vs that it was wrong, which is the more likely event.

But in the 1000 doors case it's easy to intuit why. this doesn't change if you remove a door from the system. Repeat until only 3 doors.

[Kristin Rutenkolk @Wire_Daemon]

@Keleesssss @Aron_Adler Well, for the case of 3 doors the showmaster does open all remaining doors except one. it just looks weird because it's the smallest possible variation.

Like in every case, you hedge the chance that your initials guess wqs right vs that it was wrong (which is more likely)

[Kristin Rutenkolk @Wire_Daemon]

@ampdotprivate I don't think so.

It's more that when it happens I am suffering and am vulnerable to the point where suggestions and advice can inadvertently cause people-pleasing or demand-avoidance in me.

I think the cause isn't *actually* important, only the impact (at least for me).

[Kristin Rutenkolk @Wire_Daemon]

@ampdotprivate for me there is a threshold where if i'm feeling badly enough i really don't want to interact with a lot of people

when it happens it's like realizing "something fundamental isn't working and i am not open to most people's advice or opinion"

[Kristin Rutenkolk @Wire_Daemon]

@therealchreke kinda

[Kristin Rutenkolk @Wire_Daemon]

@vzarytovskii as strange as it sounds, javafx is still surprisingly solid. it's its own open source library openjfx now and there is a gui scene builder tool. it has it's own declarative format thing going on if you want that. it feels quite oldschool but it's robust and i still quite like it.

[Kristin Rutenkolk @Wire_Daemon]

@foremostarchwiz maybe something like agency denier

not taking responsibility for their (lack of) actions, insinsting on their victim role, engaging in learned helplessness...

maybe voluntary victim could also work

[Kristin Rutenkolk @Wire_Daemon]

@Aron_Adler you get it

[Kristin Rutenkolk @Wire_Daemon]

there's lots of productivity advice that just doesn't work if you're some flavor of adhd and/or autism

e.g. eating the frog (doing the ugliest task first) is a surefire way to procrastinate for me. for me it's all about momentum and this is like starting the car in 6th gear

[Kristin Rutenkolk @Wire_Daemon]

@Aron_Adler i think unemployment had the exact opposite effect on me lol

[Kristin Rutenkolk @Wire_Daemon]

i found a dev diary from 2017. it has this comment:

"In the long run a vulkan backend seems like the way to go, but with vulkan the bootstrap IS the project "

it's sad that in 8 years, things have improved (1.3 whoo), but not to the point where this statement is now incorrect

[Kristin Rutenkolk @Wire_Daemon]

@egregirls real shit
