- Add a sitemap to wpcarro.dev
- Move covid-uk directory to sandbox directory
TODO: Next sandbox, blog, and learn in the website directory
I was having trouble tracking the growth of corona virus cases in the UK.
Thankfully someone is publishing some daily COVID data as JSON. I downloaded
that data manually and plotted it using the chart.js library as a programming
exercise with Mimi.
Now I'm attempting to deploy to https://wpcarro.dev/covid-uk.
TODO(wpcarro): Prefer the live API data instead my soon-to-be-stale downloaded.
When I first created the monorepo, I borrowed @tazjin's monorepo's. I adapted
his depot/default.nix, replacing some of his paths with my paths. This worked
for me until recently.
I attemped to include <briefcase/monzo_ynab/job> as a systemd unit for my NixOS
machine, socrates. NixOS failed to build my changes, and I didn't fully
understand my default.nix since I borrowed most of it from @tazjin. I spent the
past week looking at the `fix` function. I realized that I didn't fully
understand how fixed-point recursion worked. This sent me down a rabbit hole
terminating with me studying the Y and Z combinators.
Ironically, after understanding the `fix` function, I realized that I didn't
need to use it where I was consuming it. I ended up pruning most of my
configuration, which resulted in this commit.
Yours truly,
lambda f: (lambda x: f(x(x)))(lambda x: f(x(x)))
I'd like to be able to call...
`nix-build -E '(import <briefcase> {}).nixos.socrates'`
...as part of my efforts to wane my dependence off of `nixos-rebuild`.
I'm not sure if this commit breaks everything in my monorepo. I think it
will.
Why am I doing this? Perhaps it's a bad idea. I don't fully understand how
readTree works. My ignorance is costing me hours of time spent debugging. In an
effort to better understand readTree, I'm removing the default values for my Nix
expression parameters, which I believe have preventing errors from surfacing.
I had a spare fifteen minutes and decided that I should tidy up my
monorepo. The work of tidying up is not finished; this is a small step in the
right direction.
TL;DR
- Created a tools directory
- Created a scratch directory (see README.md for more information)
- Added README.md to third_party
- Renamed delete_dotfile_symlinks -> symlinkManager
- Packaged symlinkManager as an executable symlink-mgr using buildGo
- Created a gopkgs directory and registered it with default.nix's readTree
- Moved monzo_ynab/utils -> gopkgs
- Consumed utils.go in main.go
- Renamed monzo_ynab -> job
Manually merging:
- README.md: I added the description from universe/README.md into the heading of
dotfiles/README.md.
- .envrc: dotfiles/.envrc was a superset of universe/.envrc
- .gitignore: Adding some of the ignored patterns from universe/.gitignore to
dotfiles/.gitignore
Everything else here should be a simple rename.
