Cameron sent over some property tests for his File.split function, which is a
part of a larger effort to port f.el, a nice library for working with file
paths, over to Haskell.
While I've done these algorithms before, I'm preparing for an on-site with
DeepMind, so I created a subdirectory called deepmind where I'm storing my
second attempts at these problems. The idea of storing them in a second
directory is to remove the urge to check my existing solutions that also exist
in this repository.
Move `wpc/find-file-split` directly below `wpc/find-file`.
TODO: This module is quite old and served as a bit of a dumping grounds for me
for a long time. As such, I think I should consider deleting dead code and
moving some of these functions to other modules.
After moving some environment variables out of `~/.profile` and into a `.envrc`
file, I broke some of my modules because Emacs, which is started in
`~/.xsessionrc.shared`, is started from outside of the `.envrc` scope.
Thankfully someone wrote an excellent Emacs integration with `direnv` so now the
world keeps turning and it is even more beautiful than it was previously.
Many times when I run `prism-mode` the contrast between the colors isn't strong
enough. This is unfortunate because I really like the idea.
Perhaps one day I can submit a PR to ensure that it uses the highest-contrast
colors available to it.
After defining the scrot.el module, I don't have much use for this function. In
fairness, I never used this function too much; I wrote it early on when I first
switched from i3 to EXWM. As such, it's a bit sloppy. Happy whenever I get a
change to do some spring cleaning.
Write some Elisp to work with `scrot`, Linux's CLI utility for taking
screenshots. It's been too long this that was working as expected!
As a bonus, I learned that it's possible to copy images to Linux's clipboard and
not just their file paths. This makes for a really nice UX!
TL;DR: Preparing ivy-clipmenu for publishing.
Also:
- Removes lingering TODO items.
- Clarifies module and function documentation.
- Defines groups for custom variables.
- Supports history variable for ivy-read.
clipmenu/list-clips previously didn't sort or deduplicate entries in the same
way that the existing clipmenu list_clips function did. After running some
tests, clipmenu/list-clips matches the output except I'm unsure my duplicate
algorithm is identical.
It seems like something when I run `display/enable-4k` my resolution isn't at 4k
fully. However, when I call the same command on the command line it does scale
properly. This doesn't sound likely, and frankly I haven't had too much time to
try and reproduce this. Hence - the TODO!
Instead of keeping this in my ~/.profile, I'm going to define it in .envrc.
What I still don't know is how functions like `getenv` are supposed to interact
with direnv. I suppose maybe they aren't? Right now, when I call
`(getenv "DOTFILES")` from Emacs, it's `nil`, which I understand. Hopefully the
more I use direnv, the more reasonable expectations I'll have.
Since I moved this repository away from Dropbox, my elpa, melpa, quelpa packages
weren't automatically syncing. This crutch, once removed, cause my Emacs
initialization to fall-over.
This commit patches some of those missing dependencies.
This function was causing problems with my Emacs. For example, when I ran
`wpc/find-file`, which is bound <leader>f and a KBD that I call frequently, the
internals would startup fish with my configuration file. Then `nix_find
autojump` would fail and the entire command would error. To make things worse,
the error was a bit opaque.
TODO: Why do certain commands `counsel-projectile-find-file` startup fish and
load my configuration file? I'd prefer it used something like bash and didn't
attempt to load a configuration file since that would most likely slow things
down.
After a few weeks of having this idea in the back of my mind, I began supporting
an ivy interface to clipmenu. I tried clipmon.el for awhile, but it wasn't as
good as clipmenu in my experience. To get the best of both worlds, I'm
attempting to write an Emacs client for clipmenu! Stay tuned for more updates.
If I open source this, which I'd like to, I'll need to answer a few questions:
- How should I handle libraries like my prelude.el?
- How can I eject this from my mono-repo and dotfiles?
See the TODOs scattered throughout the module for an idea of the remaining
work. I'd estimate that there's about one to three more hours of work.
Create a finance module to help me cheaply calculate things like the future
value of a Spotify subscription or Dropbox subscription or Jiu Jitsu
membership.
I think when I was writing this, I needed a quick way to edit my dotfile's
README. I haven't used it since then, so in the interest of trimming fat, I'm
removing it.
I'm also making this my default theme for now. I'm growing a bit tired of
randomly assigning themes, since my `terminator` theme is not coupled to my
Emacs theme.
