e1427dd8b1 Move matrix-traversals -> ./misc
I'd like the top-level files in deepmind/part_two to correspond 1:1 with the
TODOs in my org file tracking the work.

85cdd46f00 Attempt to support TypeScript for coding challenges
I was a bit weaker than I expected to be in my most recent interview using
TypeScript. To improve, I think I'd like to attempt solving some of the
InterviewCake.com questions using TypeScript.

If you've read the previous commits, the inspiration for `run` arose because I
need to call `npx ts-code <file>`, which is easy enough to remember, but I'd
still rather just call `run <file>`.

825d6f2c65 Encode InterviewCake.com questions as an org-mode list
This way I can track what I've done and what I need to do.

5ade510598 Practice writing, printing, traversing matrices
- generate_board: writing
- print_board: reading
- neighbords: reading

I'm working up to creating a function to initialize a game board where no three
adjacent cells either vertically or horizontally should be the same value.

c2971ee04e Practice matrix traversals
Recently I've been asked a few interview questions that involve reading from or
writing to a grid, matrix, game board, etc. I am not as fast as I'd like to be
at this, so I'm going practice.

Here I'm practicing reading from existing matrices. I should practice writing to
empty boards, reading neigboring cells, wrapping around the board (in the case
of Conway's Game of Life), and other useful practices.

5df3bb4e40 Partition deepmind directory into two parts
Since I did not pass my one-site interview with DM, but I have been invited to
attempt again, I decided to partition this directory into two parts:
1. part_one: Hosting the exercises that I completed before my first attempt at
   earning the job.
2. part_two: Hosting the exercise that I will complete before my second attempt
   at earning the job.

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.
