808e6ee484 Support Misc module
Define two functions for attempting to return an element in a list that precedes
or succeeds another element.

I prefer having something like Utils.List. Perhaps I will refactor.

c24c9b7fb9 Support BPM for tempo
Using BPM as the unit for tempo.

TODO: Consider a higher-fidelity way to calculate BPM, although I'm not sure
this is critical functionality; an interesting problem is just seducing me, and
this app would be better off resisting the temptation.

3c8bfe85c9 Prefer type alias to type
Elm reminds me of Haskell. In fact, I'm using `haskell-mode` (for now) in Emacs
to write my Elm code, and it works reliably. I'm not writing a Haskell app, but
if I were, I would define my application Model with the following Haskell code:

```haskell
data Model = Model { whitelistedChords :: [Theory.Chord]
                   , selectedChord :: Theory.Chord
                   , isPaused :: Bool
                   , tempo :: Int
                   }
```

When I first modelled my application state, I did something similar. After
reading more Elm examples of SPAs, I see that people prefer using type aliases
to define records. As far as I know, you cannot do this in Haskell; I believe
all types are "tagged" (something about "nominal typing" comes to mind). Anyhow,
Elm isn't Haskell; Haskell has cool features like type classes; Elm has cool
features like human-readable error messages and exhaustiveness checking for
cases. I love Haskell, and I love Elm, and you didn't ask.

Anyhow, this commit refactors my records as type aliases instead of types. I
think the resulting code is more readable and ergonomic.

2f446d0441 Improve the styling of the piano
Create a more convincing representation of the piano.

I would like to compute the left-offset based on the naturalWidth. That change
is probably forthcoming.

3562343c19 Generate all known chords and display randomly selected chords
First of all, Elm's purity is beautiful. I think every language should model
their error messages and develop experience after Elm. If I didn't have to
download packages, I don't think I would need an internet connection to
troubleshoot my program's errors. This is how helpful I find the compiler.

Now that that's out of the way, here's what I've changed since we've last
corresponded:
- Use Elm's Browser.element to create a reactive application with state
- Write a function to generate all of the chords about which CDS knows
- Move some code out of Main.elm into other modules
- Depend on List.Extra, Random, Random.Extra

What's left:
- Lots of work
- Instead of clicking a button to show a new chord, use a timer
- Add mobile-first styling (probably add TailwindCSS)
- Persist settings in LocalStorage (and then eventually create user accounts)
- Allow users to curate the list of chords they're interested in practicing
- Deploy the website and dogfood it

Unknowns:
- How can I handle tempo? I don't expect setInterval to be enough (maybe it
  is)...

3dac2f10ff Drop support for Haskell glyphs
I think that glyphs look nice, but they subtley confuse Emacs's UI. In the case
of a two-character glyph condensing into one character's width, the fill-width
indicator -- correctly -- highlights the 81st character as red, but it looks
like it's erroneously highlighting the 80th.

Also when I want to create an anonymous function I type (), which condenses into
the unit character, and it's difficult to delete either the opening or the
closing parenthesis.

Overall I think glyphs are cute, but they're not worth the trouble.

application. There isn't much to see at the moment. I'm just sketching

065d58dd5a Add README for typo-po
See the README for more context on typo-po.

I drank a strong cup of coffee this morning, and I cannot quiet the activity in
my head. I'm attempting to use READMEs in my //website/sandbox to track ideas
that I would typically track using my phone's notes application. Creating a
README forces me to write more than I may have written in my phone's
notes. Also, since this repository is available at https://git.wpcarro.dev, I
can share these ideas with friends by sending them a URL! So much for "stealth
mode"... Well I guess this stress-tests my theory that ideas are less important
than execution.

ca67b4256d Debug unresponsive keyboard
After binary searching through my git history to restore my keyboard
functionality, I discovered the issue: I deleted the "Terminal" workspace, but I
did not remove the call to `(exwm/switch "Terminal")`, which silently prevented
EXWM from initializing.

I wish errors like this were noisier.

431f68298d Drop support for terminator.el
Before I switched to vterm.el, I used alacritty as my primary terminal.
I could not install alacritty on gLinux, so I switched to terminator.
When I was ricing my machine, I wanted my Emacs theme to change my
terminator theme. I never finished that project, and it is quite dusty
now.

8562bf5b5a Rename //deploy -> //nix_gcr
I create //deploy when I first deployed a few applications that I
packaged with Nix. This was before I setup socrates as my "cloud". Now I
deploy all of my services using NixOS. The name "deploy" is a bit stale.
I'm renaming it //nix_gcr because it documents how I can deploy
Nix-packaged projects on Google Cloud Run.

a500171fd8 Remove unnecessary rec { .. }
In Nix, rec mean "recursive" and for attribute sets, this allows
attributes to refer to other attributes in the same attribute set. This
is useful, but I'm not using it here, so I'm removing it.

Gogs:

Also, I never configured Gogs such that I could use it, so the cost of
switching from Gogs to Gitea was basically zero.

401ec6a7a1 Tidy up emacs/default.nix
When I run `nix-env -f '<briefcase>' -iA emacs`, Nix builds a derivation of
wpcarros-emacs using the path to the Emacs derivation. This doesn't work well on
glinux and causes strange behavior. For instance, Chrome crashes when it tries
to browse for files. Building with `nix-env -iA emacs.glinux` fixes this and
other problems.

Miscellaneous other changes:
- Remove unnecessary fix-point recursion
- Drop support for unused dottime.el
- Remove unused overrideEmacs
- Remove unused withLocalConfig
- Support emacs.glinux and emacs.nixos alternative derivations
