7924b12fa6 Add "Why delay? Start today." to footer
For now, my slogan is "Why delay? Start today."

Like any slogan, the more you repeat it, the more it sticks.

4bc9bb4910 Prefer "Learn to code" to "Learn to program"
I think this is more consistent with the main content.

- Reduce the font size of all headings

5fd094d39c Replace ~ with /home/wpcarro
Nix runs the `rebuild` command as root, so ~ resolves to /root, which is not
what I want.

9b49731c02 Use static directory path as root for learn.wpcarro.dev
With this simple change, Nix should copy the static directory and all of its
contents to /nix/store and return the path to that directory.

See TODO for more what I would have liked to do ideally.

a9bd18c440 Move index.html to static directory
I only want nginx to serve files from the static directory, so that I do not
accidentally expose files like default.nix or README.md to the web.

280956a466 Update markup for learn.wpcarro.dev
Adding a personal introduction, overview of coding, pricing, and contact
information.

Also using a CDN to install TailwindCSS, which the TailwindCSS authors
discourage, but I don't want to setup a complicated build process at the
moment.

688cd1d912 Add content for learn.wpcarro.dev
See the README.md for more context about this project.

TODO: I configure nginx to serve static files from /var/www/learn. I'd like to
symlink /var/www/learn to briefcase/learn as part of my `rebuild` script, but I
don't currently.

c187d89f27 Rename socrates/default.nix -> socrates/configuration.nix
readTree uses the output attribute set of default.nix as the value for
nixos.socrates, which disables me from resolving nixos.socrates.rebuild since
there is no rebuild attribute in the output attribute set from default.nix.

If I rename default.nix -> configuration.nix, I can resolve
nixos.socrates.{configuration,hardware,rebuild}.

694ca4a85f Ensure socrates/default.nix is a function
Nix complains that `nixos.socrates` is not a function but a set. By adding
`{ ... }:` to the top of the file, I'm hoping to change it from a set to a
function.

5d656b646f Include notmuch as an Emacs dependency
`(require 'notmuch)` in `email.el` broke my Emacs initialization. This should
fix that.

28af585f3d Include NIX_PATH settings in nix/rebuild-emacs function
I'm currently setting NIX_PATH in ~/briefcase/shell.nix. This means when I call
`nix/rebuild-emacs` from a buffer that is inside the briefcase directory, the
command succeeds because NIX_PATH is properly defined. When I call
`nix/rebuild-emacs` from any other location it fails.

I'm hard-coding the NIX_PATH in this command so that I can call
`nix/rebuild-emacs` from any buffer that is currently active.

96ff26e5ca Support nix/home-manager-switch
As a part of my plan to reduce my dependence on the shell, I defined an Elisp
function to call `home-manager switch` from `M-x`.

2eb9259a1b Manage fish with home-manager
I patched home-manager locally to support fzf keybindings for fish. I will PR
this into home-manager, but I haven't yet, which means that my home.nix file
depends on my local ~/home-manager.

137bd6dc0c Drop support for terminator
I've been consistently using vterm enough that I don't think I will change
shells anytime soon. Couple this with my previous commit where I hint that I'd
like to curb all terminal usage if possible, and it seems unlikely that I'll
want to keep this terminator configuration.

Rofi is a nicer alternative to dmenu, but I use neither dmenu nor rofi, so
farewell.

fd0595805f Drop support for mpd
If I'm being candid, I'm not even sure I remember what mpd does. My current
guess is that it's a music player daemon.

813c7f94de Drop support for desktop and laptop
As I pruned increasingly more dependencies, the few dependencies that desktop
and laptop hosted were too trivial for me to justify supporting. And so, I no
longer support them.

19742e7790 Add programs to home-manager
Support commonly used programs like fd, exa, bat, etc.

For now, I'm unsure how to manage the programs in my emacs/default.nix with my
home.nix. I'll wait until I have a stronger opinion to handle this.

f645b6dadf Support fzf with home-manager
Because (to my knowledge) home-manager doesn't support fish-shell, I need to
retain some fzf-specific configuration in my fish/config.fish file.

cb3d1da6c9 Support lorri with home-manager
Prefer starting lorri with home-manager.

Note: I could have removed the `systemctl --user start lorri.service` line
before switching to home-manager by calling `systemctl --user enable
lorri.service`. This would have made a symlink in
`~/.config/systemd/user/default.target.wants`.

0045a0dd5a Drop support for Tmux
I haven't used Tmux for months.

I also suspect that using the terminal in general may be a crutch. Ideally I
could replace everything I do in the terminal with Emacs analogues. Perhaps one
month I'll force myself to work without a terminal to see what happens.

c6dac53b72 Drop support for cloudtop
While I do still technically own a Google cloudtop device, I haven't used it in
at least six months. In the interest of pruning non-critical dependencies, I'm
deleting it. I can alway restore it thanks to Git.

df035ca832 Use home-manager to support SSH
I didn't port everything from .ssh/config to home-manager. I omitted a few hosts
that I don't connect to anymore. I also omitted the `corp-ssh-helper`
configuration.

11d8336733 Support custom fish prompt
Today I wrote myself a custom fish prompt. It's mostly what I'd like, but I'd
like to finely tune it a bit. I'd like to create a separate repository to
release this. In that repository, I'll explain why I wrote this.

549e56186b Solve InterviewCake's product-of-other-numbers
This problem challenged me: without using division, write a function that maps a
list of integers into a list of the product of every integer in the list except
for the integer at that index.

This was another greedy algorithm. The take-away is to first solve the problem
using brute force; this yields an algorithm with O(n*(n-1)) time
complexity. Instead of a quadratic time complexity, a linear time complexity can
be achieved my iterating over the list of integers twice:
1. Compute the products of every number to the left of the current number.
2. Compute the products of every number to the right of the current number.

Finally, iterate over each of these and compute lhs * rhs. Even though I've
solved this problem before, I used InterviewCake's hints because I was stuck
without them.

I should revisit this problem in a few weeks.
