@cinnamon smh at the lack of weather warning for turning into a solid block of ice instantly upon stepping outside like a video game mascot

re: accessibility, please boost 

@EmilyIsRad i don't know what others use, and i'm not sure if this is helpful since i'm abled, but i've been familiarizing myself with google talkback; the screen reader built into android phones!

it seems like a pretty ubiquitous screen reader since the shortcut to enable it is long pressing both volume buttons on a lot of phones, so a lot of people will likely have it by default even if they use something else

so i imagine it could be a good thing to test if you aren't already familiar with it~

@SuricrasiaOnline oh gosh, yeah

nothing says "quick hack" quite like stepping through assembly

@cinnamon oh wow

that's not even a reaction i knew doggos could have to the cold

selfie also, ec 

@noiob talk to me and my son whenever you like!

still suuuper behind on advent of code, but it's fun how basically every challenge so far (up to day 7) can be summed up as "use clojure's loop, but with one other function also"

saw the grinch just casually walking their dog down the road

learning to frame complaints as "i personally didn't enjoy X" instead of "X is absolute shitgarbage objectively and everyone around me needs to deal with my emotions about it" is actually a really important social skill that's a lot less common than it really should be

cosplaying someone who gets up at a reasonable hour

(well, a few days ago, at least!)

i played on a console last time with someone who pretty much speedran the game to a five star island before i could even really start to appreciate new horizons' vibes, and this time i'm hoping to just kinda slow down and do that..!

also, have i ever mentioned it's both super-neat to be able to do this, and also a pretty nifty way to casually absorb how accessible different things really are?

because it is, in fact, both of those things

glad i learned how to use a screen reader

was using my phone while it was in my mitten, with said mitten being in my pocket

because guess what

advent of code day 4 

gist.github.com/Archenoth/4256

loop continues to put in some work

i deffed both inputs in a let form since def isn't lexixal

also, reading in the data was the same number of lines of code that actually solving the problem took

this day is the first time i've broken out the extremely neat threading macros to make things more readable (the ->> and as-> calls)

part 2 was a cakewalk since i already had all the tools written for part 1

the most interesting part in this one was using destructuring results as a predicate for checking if any sheets remained, and returning the last one if they didn't
