e8b47d5030 Support golang
I decided to start writing go code for scripts instead of python. I think this
will be a learning opportunity for me and should increase the integrity of my
scripts by adding some static type checking.

4e0b18506f Rename docker -> deploy
I think the name deploy is more representative of the purpose of this directory
since docker is just one of a few tools that I'm using to deploy software.

837cfe07c7 Rename dotfiles -> briefcase
Renaming my mono-repo briefcase.

I first introduced this commit in master, but it introduced a bug where one of
two things would happen:

1. Emacs wouldn't start and would crash X.
2. Emacs would start but my keyboard wouldn't work.

I learned some valuable debugging skills in the process. Here are some of them:

When my keyboard was broken, I wanted to control my computer using my
laptop. Thankfully this is possible by using `x2x`, which forward X events from
the SSH client to the SSH host.

```shell
> # I'm unsure if this is the *exact* command
> ssh -X desktop x2x -west :0.0
```

Git commit-local bisecting. I didn't need to do a `git bisect` because I knew
which commit introduced the bug; it was HEAD, master. But -- as you can see from
the size of this commit -- there are many changes involved. I wanted to binary
search through the changes, so I did the following workflow using `magit`:

- git reset --soft HEAD^
- git stash 1/2 of the files changed
- re-run `nix-env -f ~/briefcase/emacs -i`
- restart X session
- If the problem persists, the bug exists in the non-stashed files. Repeat the
  process until you find the bug.

In my case, the bug was pretty benign. Calling `(exwm/switch "Dotfiles")` at the
bottom of `window-manager.el` was failing because "Dotfiles" is the name of a
non-existent workspace; it should've been `(exwm/switch "Briefcase")`.

There may have been more problems. I changed a few other things along the way,
including exposing the env vars BRIEFCASE to `wpcarros-emacs` inside of
`emacs/default.nix`.

The important part is that this was a valuable learning opportunity, and I'm
glad that I'm walking away from the two days of "lost productivity" feeling
actually productive.

edea127e07 Support building wpcarros-emacs
I'm using a Makefile until I can remember the command:

```shell
> nix-env -f . -i
```

This will install (i.e. `-i`) any derivations instantiated from the Nix
expression resolvable by `-f`. Ideally the incantation will look something like
this:

```shell
> nix-env -f '<universe>' -iA emacs
```

Informing `nix-env` to install all of the derivations created by the expression
at attribute `emacs` in my `<universe>` repository. For now two things are
preventing this:

1. `emacs` isn't an attribute in my top-level expression defined in the
   `default.nix`.
2. If I do add `emacs` as an attribute and call the above command, my usage of
   `readTree` results in `pkgs` missing `.lib` and a few other stdlib commands
   that are available in `(import <nixpkgs> {})`.

A fix for both of these should be forthcoming.

039b260cac Point <nixpkgs> to ~/nixpkgs
At the moment, all of the Nix repositories that I'm consuming exist in ~. To
keep things consistent, I ran:

3684adf23f Remove unused files
When I first moved to London, I created common.txt to store the address of my
office, my temporary housing, my new phone number, and other information. It
serverd its purpose, but I no longer need it anymore.

bookmarks.txt started out as a dmenu/rofi -> google-chrome integration. This
predates EXWM, which has replaced this with a google-chrome.el module (or
something similarly named).

5c9079a410 Splice ./universe directory into ./
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.

15110e6de9 Drop support for ZSH
I've been using Fish consistently for about a month now, and I don't see myself
switching back to ZSH. Some of the code from this commit should be published. I
may get around to that one day. Before I did that, I would need to clean it up
and document it, which I won't be doing today.

Thank you, ZSH, for your service.

093b566e71 Support env vars for {DESK,LAP,CLOUD}TOP devices
I recently changed my hostname for my desktop and laptop from

wpcarro.lon.corp.google.com -> zeno.lon.corp.google.com
wpcarro2                    -> seneca

If you're curious, the names Zeno and Seneca come from famous Stoic
philosophers. As you can see from this commit, my configuration depends on the
values of these hostnames.

Immediately impacted:
- .profile
- device.el

Not immediately impacted:
- configs/install
- configs/uninstall
- .ssh/config
- .zshrc*

* As a side note, I should stop supporting ZSH.

Using an .envrc file helps me DRY up some of my configuration. Ideally I should
only need to make changes to the .envrc file and then expect everything to work
as expected. Let's see how that goes.

ff06ffcf9c Package depot's gemma as a docker image for Cloud Run

bacaa0ca8a Add docker/cloud_run.nix
I'm attempting to setup my blog using the following:
- Google Cloud Run: I whitelist a docker image that packages my application and
then Google runs it "statelessly" (i.e. without persistence). The stateless part
should be fine for the time being.
- Nix: Using `<nixpkgs>.dockerTools.buildLayeredImage` to output docker images
from Nix expressions.
- Docker: Upload the output image from the Nix expressions and upload it to
Google Container Registry from which it can be run from Google Cloud Run.

Some helpful commands:

```shell
> sudo gcloud auth login
> nix-build ./docker/cloud_run.nix
> sudo docker image import ./result
> sudo docker tag <name> gcr.io/<google-cloud-project-id>/<name>:<tag>
> sudo docker push gcr.io/<google-cloud-project-id>/<name>:<tag>
```

I'm unsure if Google Cloud Run is my desired end goal, but it may help me
publish a blog faster than setting up a Kubernetes cluster, which is what I'd
ultimately like to do. Cloud Run should be cheaper financially and time-wise.

680d129cb3 Temporarily remove server-start from Emacs

one. Additionally when I call `emacsclient .` on the command line, I see a

"Waiting for Emacs..."
...but when I cycle through all of my workspaces, I don't see any active
buffers. This commit is part of a larger debugging effort to get this working as
expected.

b5c0d29601 Change Emacs startup
Remove `dbus-launch` and prefer simply `exec emacs`. Add `--no-site-file` and
`--no-site-lisp` flags.

Temporarily disable `google-stuff.el` because it's unavailable with the
`--no-site-lisp` flag.

This should all be fixed when I fully nixify my Emacs.

b6e9952889 Disable auto-fill-mode and company-mode in IRC buffers
Why?
- `company-mode` is too noisy in IRC buffers.
- `auto-fill-mode` inserts newline characters that end up each being their own
  message, which means that I make more noise than I should in IRC.

d1fdc9fa63 Enable ivy-mode globally
This takes care of my outstanding TODO of understanding why something ivy was
being used and other times it wasn't. It turns out that there is a generic
`completing-read` function that many Emacs packages consume. `ivy-mode` ensures
that when that function is called it is used instead of the default Emacs
completing package.

I'm still unsure of the difference between ivy and counsel. My best guess
currently is that counsel is the narrowing framework and ivy is the integration
of the narrowing framework with `completing-read`. Swiper must be the
integration with incremental {forward,backward} search.

130155121a Sketch idea of a buildClojure nix function
The previous commit that adds Java code is part of a larger project intended to
use Nix to package Clojure. I'd like to build something similar to @tazjin's
buildLisp except for Clojure instead of for Common Lisp. Once building for both
ecosystems is similarly easy, it will be easier for me to compare the two
languages. Right now `buildLisp` is so good that it attracts me to Common Lisp
even when I don't know the language.

7bf8997830 Support nix/sly-from-universe
This function builds a version of SBCL using `nix.buildLisp` and points `sly` to

dependencies, which is quite useful. One drawback at the moment is that if new
dependencies are added to the project, I think I need to rebuild SBCL using nix
and restart sly.

from perfect, but it works at the moment, which is encouraging.
