14:15:20 <liskin> Solid: ^
14:15:28 <liskin> Oh and where mc47?
14:17:16 <geekosaur> I feel like I need to move to somewhere in Europe just so I can attend a few of these things…

15:05:05 <thyriaen> Howdy friends - I have a strange behavior - if i run a 2 tabbed windows and a floating one on top: the moment i open the floating one the current tabbed window, whichever is selected gets "remembered" - when I now switch the tabbed window to something else and i give the floating window focus, the tabbed window in the background changes focus to whatever window was "remembered"
15:05:55 <geekosaur> yes, that's typical for floats
15:06:08 <thyriaen> can i prevent this from happening somehow ?
15:06:24 <geekosaur> try XMonad.Hooks.RefocusLast
15:08:17 <thyriaen> uff
15:10:33 <[Leary]> Well, the description is a bit difficult to parse. Sounds like it could be the related but distinct `focusTracking` issue.
15:10:43 <thyriaen> what does <> this do ?
15:11:00 <thyriaen> what is the focusTracking issue ?
15:11:09 <geekosaur> monoidal append
15:11:43 <thyriaen> so when i want that my Loghook is refocusLastLogHook and it was previourlsy return () i just do refocusLastLogHook <> return () >
15:11:45 <thyriaen> ?
15:12:23 <thyriaen> [Leary], what issue are you referring too ? how can i explain my issue better?
15:12:57 <[Leary]> It's where layouts that don't have focus don't know what window to present. Wrapping the layout or sublayout in `focusTracking` is a way to tell it to keep presenting the window/s like when it last had focus.
15:14:26 <thyriaen> [Leary], seems like it would fix my issue

15:16:30 <thyriaen> i don't really understand how to use it, reading the documentation
15:18:12 <thyriaen> myLayout = focusTracking myOldLayout ?
15:19:52 <thyriaen> perfect, it works thanks :p

16:21:18 <liskin> geekosaur: would you need a visa if you wanted to move permanently?

16:24:26 <liskin> Also moving somewhere far and losing all your support network of friends and relatives is hard even if your physical and mental health is fine. It's a nightmare if not.
16:35:33 <geekosaur> yeh. and yes, I'd need to get a visa
16:36:10 <geekosaur> that said, between being autistic and most of my relatives being gone I, uh, have a very small support network to start with
16:36:15 <geekosaur> would lose my sister though
16:37:03 <geekosaur> and I don't really see any country being interested in an old autistic guy with sensory processing issues (I have in fact been stuck in the dark for the past 2 days because bright light is doing a number on my brain)
16:38:33 <geekosaur> conversely, to the extent I have friends they're all on IRC so locations don't really matter 🙂

16:50:23 <thyriaen> geekosaur, perfect - where do you live ?
16:50:34 <geekosaur> akron, ohio
16:50:55 <thyriaen> oki
16:51:04 <geekosaur> if you do a web search you can even get my street address, because I have a radio license and the license database is by law public information
16:51:24 <geekosaur> might even have my phone number in it
16:51:35 <thyriaen> the web knows everything
16:54:18 <geekosaur> (and you can get my real name from /whois, from linked in, and probably from dreamwidth)
16:59:09 <thyriaen> what's dreamwidth ?
17:01:20 <geekosaur> https://www.dreamwidth.org/
17:01:41 <geekosaur> social networking site, 90s variety
17:03:17 <thyriaen> gives off a kinda debian vibe
17:03:29 <geekosaur> that's just the logo 🙂
17:03:48 <geekosaur> I admit I was fairly amused when debian adopted much the same logo
17:04:04 <geekosaur> (yes, dw came first with the spiral logo)
17:05:26 <geekosaur> although I don't recall if they'd opened the public beta by that point
17:07:17 <geekosaur> not sure how I ended up doing two private betas for social networking sites when I'm autistic; I was also in on the final private beta for what became AOL (but then was AppleLink Personal Edition)
17:40:10 <liskin> geekosaur: when were you diagnosed?
17:40:47 <liskin> I don't have my diagnosis yet but I'm becoming more and more certain that an awful lot of things could be explained by one
17:41:18 <liskin> and many of those symptoms had viable workarounds when I was a kid or a uni student
17:41:53 <liskin> and those that didn't have workarounds were tolerated by my peers because I was high functioning and smart/valuable/useful enough
17:42:09 <geekosaur> sounds familiar. I realized I was autistic when the Asperger paper came to light in the mid 90s and I recognized myself in it
17:42:22 <geekosaur> but I was only formally diagnosed 2 years ago
17:42:32 <liskin> now without that network of people, in a different culture and having to spend energy on all the adulting stuff, it's a different story
17:43:01 <geekosaur> it also gets harder as you get older, I've found
17:43:17 <geekosaur> like I have less energy to spend on things other people take for granted
17:43:33 <geekosaur> (look up "spoon theory" sometime)
17:43:42 <liskin> anyway, my point was meant to be that being part of a social networking private beta isn't that weird despite being autistic
17:44:06 <liskin> demography of early social networks was wildly different than these days
17:48:47 <liskin> spoon theory looks like a concept that I've been intuitively aware of for a while
17:50:02 <liskin> I've actually been trying to prioritise using money to make someone else handle some of those daily tasks, but it looks like it's not as easy as I thought
17:50:52 <liskin> there's still more stuff that I need to do on a daily basis than I had to when I was a uni student and had parents
17:51:20 <liskin> yet the amount of money it costs me is absurd
17:52:41 <geekosaur> yep 😞
17:55:00 <liskin> (but then we made the somewhat silly choice of moving to an extremely high-cost-of-living location because it's a necessary step in my wife's career)

21:54:56 <HP-UX> Asperger's here.
21:56:01 <HP-UX> I think the latest psychiatrist said, and had some testing done, and yeah. Highly functional autist apparently. But still not without behavioral inabilities and disabilities in processing various input.
21:56:44 <HP-UX> My entire life has been agonizing due to that inability to socialize, know what not to say, when to say, how to say, with what sort of diction, connotation, idiomatic usage...
21:56:53 <HP-UX> \o/
21:57:00 <HP-UX> A computer will never make fun of you.
21:57:06 <HP-UX> A computer will never harass you.
21:57:10 <HP-UX> A computer will never judge you.
21:57:27 <HP-UX> If the computer breaks or doesn't do what I want, it's not because it doesn't like me...
21:57:34 <HP-UX> It's beacuse I did something wrong.
21:57:49 <HP-UX> People are mean, man. People are so mean.
21:57:52 <HP-UX> \o/
22:00:00 <HP-UX> 1) I can't understand why anyone wants to be my friend or talk to me.
22:00:30 <HP-UX> 2) I have no idea and I cannot figure out what anyone is intending when they come to me with anything. I literally almost always misunderstand their intentions.
22:00:46 <HP-UX> I cannot pick up on verbal or linguistic clues in conversation. I have to be explicity told what is happening.
22:01:17 <HP-UX> People have called me anti social, rude, obnoxious, put me down, cursed at me, even hit me and kick me.
22:01:35 <HP-UX> \o/ doesn't matter. One day I will die and all this will be over.
22:01:37 <HP-UX> Just waiting...
22:04:16 HP-UX wipes his tears away.
22:04:30 <HP-UX> Alright, I got work to do. Sorry for my nonsense. I don't know what to do.
