@chao hopefully some of these can help you sidestep some frustrations with your system locking up

but for reals, good luck with haskell, @chao..!

@chao no prob..! ^^

another thing you can do if there is even a *little* bit of responsiveness from your desktop is type "pkill -9 ghc" into the thing that pops up when you hit Alt + F2 on most desktops

@chao ahh! in cases like that, you might still be able to Alt + Sys Req + R to get your desktop to let go of your keyboard

and then mashing Ctrl + Alt + Shift + F1 might get you to a virtual terminal where you can log in and type "pkill ghc"

afterwards, you can Alt + F7 to get back to your desktop

@chao oh nooo

i guess mashing ctrl+c or the ctrl+z "kill -9 %1" combos didn't work?

if this becomes A Thing, maybe you can try to limit the resources for it? like maybe running "ulimit -Sv 500000" before haskell to limit the stack to 500MB might get you past it growing out of control?

@RavenWorks in the end, the thing that people will support isn't your comprehensive knowledge about what everything means, or how to interpret your mindset--what people will support is you!

your identity is important, but if your interpretation of it is in flux, that doesn't mean you are any less worth supporting

you're worth it, no matter how you decide you want to continue! you're worth it no matter what you discover!

you're worth it, @RavenWorks, because this is you!

@RavenWorks oh! i don't think you need to worry about having everything set in stone before you allow others to support you

it might not seem like you're mentioning anything substantial, but being supported on what's been weighing on you might make figuring out everything else easier!

if you want to say something, you totally should!
and if you think you're not ready yet, that's valid too!

your pace and your progress aren't what make you who you are–so you shouldn't tie that to your reasoning

@codl the new way to sprite!
