Since I'm new to the CL world, snippets are a useful note-taking analogue with
the added benefit of potentially speeding up my workflow should the
muscle-memory set.
My first foray trying to package Common Lisp with Nix. I'm using @tazjin's
buildLisp and other libraries, all of which I'm importing as `tpkgs`, and all of
which have been a tremendous boon to my productivity.
One of my Google Emacs libraries depends on the `magit-popup` library. I believe
it's `fig-status` and I'm unsure why that library didn't ship with
`magit-popup`... tune in next week for more packaging woes.
Instead of three separate `general-define-key` statements consolidate all
three. I'm not sure I was aware of this feature of general when I originally
defined all three keybindings.
I recall making these changes days ago, but I cannot seem to find any evidence
of those changes.
Extending the lifetimes of GPG cache to improve the UX of using `pass` and
similar tools.
After some confusion about my `emacsclient` is currently working as
expected. Perhaps it always did. I had `emacs --daemon` in my
`~/.xsessionrc.shared` for awhile, which may have confused
`emacsclient`. Whatever happened, I'm glad it's working now.
The `prelude/assert` for the existence of the `opam-install` directory was
failing.
I believe this assertion would have been failing sooner, but a bug in my
initialization was preventing Emacs from evaluating `wpc-ocaml.el`. It seems
that I removed whatever was jamming the initialization and as such, I uncovered
some more bugs.
Let this serve as a reminder that just because it hasn't bitten you yet, doesn't
mean that your software doesn't have a bug.
I'm trying a mouse-less workflow supported by `keynav`. So far, everything works
pretty well... and then I needed to take a screenshot and I don't know how to
use `scrot --select` without a mouse.
Preferring to use the `general` package for defining leader-prefixed keybindings
than `evil-leader`.
This TODO has existed for quite awhile, so I'm pleased to finish it!
During the cleanup, I deleted some keybindings that I no longer used.
When Emacs starts it's called from xsessionrc.shared, which is called outside of
direnv's .envrc scope. Because of this variables defined therein, like
ORG_DIRECTORY, are undefined and prevent Emacs from initializing.
I'm hard-coding the `org-directory` variable for now and removing references to
`(getenv "ORG_DIRECTORY")`.
Point the constants/current-project variable to my mono-repo.
The constants.el file isn't as populated as I was expecting and I think
supporting it introduces indirection in my code. I'm considering removing it.
Getting some practice with Python's heapq module (which I'm unsure if I used
correctly) to do a priority-first-traversal of a graph: known as Dijkstra's
algorithm.
Solves the InterviewCake.com problem that asks us to write a function that
returns the number, y, that occurs twice in a list, xs, where xs is an unsorted
list of integers from 1..n with a length of n + 1.
This is just a small org table that I created to help me
Fun fact: In Emacs, you can insert literal TAB character by pressing `C-q
TAB`. For creating tables, using TAB characters feels perfectly
acceptable. Perhaps the TAB name comes from TABle.
Solves an InterviewCake.com problem that returns the index of the element in a
list that should be the first element in that list. It's an exercise that's
useful for seeing other applications of a binary search.
Solves an InterviewCake.com problem that returns all of the permutations of a
string input. The problem states that it's acceptable to assume that your input
string will not have repeated characters, which is why using a Set is
acceptable. I like this solution because it builds a permutations tree and then
assembles all of the permutations by doing a DFT over that tree.
Some more pains of weening off of Dropbox is that my Emacs initialization is
sensitive to dependencies and missing require statements. I'm still debugging
everything.
Some modules called `exwm-input-set-key` before the `window-manager` module
loaded, which itself requires EXWM. This broke initialization. To get around
this I could've called `(require 'exwm)` in each of those modules. I chose to
define a `keybindings.el` module to whitelist some of my EXWM keybindings. I'm
not sure if this is the best way forward, but it is *some* way forward.
