Notices by stateful being (unspeaker@mastodon.social), page 2

@kaia

sadly it could be anything (last time this happened to me i narrowed it down to a kernel bug triggered by me plugging in the lan cable) i assume you've checked system log / dmesg?

@lain well now i have

thank #rust for type inference working as expected!

this week the #tui #daw saw yet another extensive refactor (finishing it right now instead of working on my emigration)

the ui code was once again becoming rich in accidental complexity, so i sighed a big sigh (remember breathing?) and started cribbing from that code i wrote 2 years ago (before i went through... "all that")

turned out different enough - private ai models may still be able to identify me as the same person but not public ones

@ironchamber

yeah... sucks innit... some days i think i've got legit reasons to be like that, some days i think it's just self-defeating behavior i should reject

like if this project is just something to facilitate my own music making, i'd just develop in private and get it done sooner :(

but i also want to use it to connect with people over a shared interest in programming and art, like having this conversation for example :)

hell of a tradeoff, i want my work to have results already :x

@ironchamber

on one hand who's gonna doxx me over reusing my old code, and what's the chance they're gonna do anything to me - on the other even if the chance is minuscule the consequences would be beyond what i can deal with currently - so let's rewrite everything from scratch but worse 🤣

@ironchamber

yeah.. the only thing I like about ratatui really is the double buffering

a couple years back i wrote my own framework on top of crossterm, was quite happy with how it let me compose things

generic over backend too (business logic could theoretically be reused with a gui backend instead of tui)

but i put it on github. and then something something trauma ostracism paranoia so now i can't reuse stuff that i've published on github because it's too connected with my past identity

@ironchamber

and this is based on some old code that used to work quite nicely for that purpose ... but i can't reuse it because reasons :(

which is a damn shame because i liked it way better than #ratatui :(

@ironchamber

hmm, i'm not sure i'm parsing your suggestion. is "pop something out" something that i should try doing, or is it a possibility that i need to account for?

the goal is to compose `Render`able widgets inside the `render` method of other widgets

Collected::Box is for when they are ephemeral (owned by the render method) and Collected::Ref is for when they are stateful (owned by the parent struct), if that makes sense

anyone got a clue what's going on here?

i know what the error message means, but i don't understand what causes `'static` lifetime to be required, considering I've explicitly specified the `'a`.

there's this answer https://users.rust-lang.org/t/box-with-a-trait-object-requires-static-lifetime/35261/2 but it's from 2019 - did the language change?

what am i overlooking?

#rust #rustlang #lifetime #bug #ratatui

@ironchamber

That's definitely the case!

Granted, I'm not the best at tidying in the physical realm. Didn't see the point of it at first - until I had the realization that it's kinda like managing the entropy of things by pointing your attention at them 🤪

Over here it's the opposite: if I've embedded a few sketchy assumptions and moot points just to reach a milestone (as was the case here), my focus just fails to latch in "forward", and I end up alt-tabbing editor<->doomscrolling all day 😪

People have been cross at me for what's probably one of my most disruptive #programming habits, but the truth is - when velocity grinds to a halt and you find yourself inexplicably #stuck, like you just don't know what to do, just take a deep breath and... #refactor the hell out of the whole damn thing, preferably in one sitting, like a complete and utter #madman.

Meanwhile, looks like this project has crossed the 5000 #LOC barrier like wheeee...

Pushing an unfinished #commit makes me anxious. So do big refactors which may not pay off.

Yet, having to spend a couple days sitting down in a moving box without #Internet, I had just enough sitting down time to go about halfway through this one.

#Rustlang #TUI #DAW

(Link to code in bio!)

Over the past month I've written this little #TUI #sequencer #groovebox #DAW thingy in #Rustlang

And here it is, playing a little #ditty that I composed on my #acoustic #guitar nearly 15 years ago, and has been bouncing around my head ever since.

Playback uses the #LV2 plugin #Odin2, which has largely replaced #Helm and #TAL-NoiseMaker as my favorite free softsynth.

It does play other sounds than square waves, I just haven't exposed all the #plugin parameters yet.
