92ab94943e Start working on the "Hard" problems
Firstly, implement a function that adds two arguments together... without using
the `+` operator. I need to drill this problem. Thankfully I took a Coursera
course that taught me how to make a half-adder and a full-adder, but the
recommended solution for this is a bit more difficult.

30f4d6f4a4 Implement a simple hash function and hash table
I was always curious how hashing functions were implemented, so I read about the
"polynomial rolling hash function", and I decided implementing it would be a
good exercise. After writing that, writing a hash table was simple.

a0e9e2b310 Solve unsorted-substring a second time
This solution operates in O(n) time instead of O(n*log(n)) time, which
surprisingly isn't *that* big of a difference...

Consider a size of n of 10M...
  1) ~10s
  2) ~0.5s

So, yes, the O(n*log(n)) will take 100x longer to complete, but for an enormous
input size of 10M elements, it can still complete in under a minute. The
difference between that and the second, faster, algorithm, is just 9s.

become equally comfortable writing pretty-printers.

7672049e1c Solve N queens
After a five year hiatus, I decided to attempt to solve the famous N queens
problem again. This time, instead of modeling the chess board using a
`[[Bool]]`, I'm using `[Integer]` where the `Integer` indicates which column has
a queen. This is a bit lighter in RAM.

767fed75c3 Support multiple HabitTypes
I could have and should have broken this change into smaller pieces, but when I
came up for air, I had changed too much, and most of the changes are
intermingled. Oh well... this is an exciting change!

Include habits for:
- Morning
- Evening
- Payday (the 25th)
- First of the Month
- First of the Year

Since the Morning and Evening routines might be a bit noisy, I'm excluding them
from the output using a flag, `include{Morning,Evening}`, which I support in the
UI to toggle their visibility.

I made *much* more progress on this app that I expected to today, and I *think*
-- short of supporting a database and a server -- I'm close to
being *completely* finished.

Wahoo!

5684608fed Move tailwind function into Utils module
Instead of accepting `List (String, Int)`, accept `List Strategy` where
`Strategy` defines whether or not the string of selectors should be applied to
the element.

I'm also renaming it `class` so I can just use `Utils.class`; `tailwind` has
little to do with the function itself.

0a15ea7366 Create UI module for common components
Create UI.elm to house components like `button`, which is a simple HTML button
with `focus:outline-none` applied as a `class`, which is an accessibility
feature that I don't need for this touch-screen application.

I like this pattern more than my more opinionated patterns for UI modules in Elm
where I'd define all of the arguments as a record type (i.e. kwargs).

106457de4b Prefer handwritten font
Use the Google Fonts API to fetch a handwritten font, which gives the app a
modicum of personality. There are more "best practices" ways to do this, such
as:

- Download the font once, and include it in the bundle
- Extend the Tailwind configure to recognize the font
- Ditch the inline <style> block

But I don't need the performance benefits that the first bullet provides. And
the second two bullets are more relevant for a larger application with more than
one font. So I think in this case, the easiest solution is best.

Also:
- Use `container` and `mx-auto` to constrain content for wide screens

f3ee628a4c Support display-arrangement macro
I was tired of using `arandr` to manually configure my monitor positions, so I
encoded the settings in Elisp in the `display.el` module.

TL;DR:
- Drop support for `position` kwarg in `display-register` macro
- Support `coords` kwarg in `display-register`.
- `defconst` the `xrandr` arguments and command in `display-register`.
- Define `display-arrangement` macro that consumes the `xrandr` arguments that
  `display-register` defines to create an interactive function,
  `display-arrange-<NAME>`, which -- when invoked -- runs one xrandr command to
  configure a display "arrangement".

4187e888c8 Disable company-mode during git commits
Why didn't I configure this earlier? For years, my workflow involved checking a
buffer's major mode and then extending that major-mode's hook. Confusingly (to
me), the `major-mode` for `COMMIT_EDITMSG` is `text-mode`, and I didn't want to
disable `company-mode` for *all* `text-mode` buffers, which is what the
following would have done:

```elisp
(add-hook 'text-mode-hook (lambda () (company-mode -1))
```

Thankfully I recently invested some time into learning more about Emacs's
offline help system, `Info-mode`, so -- putting that knowledge to work -- I ran
`info-apropos` and searched "magit commit". After ~5 minutes of reading I knew
the recommended way of configuring this was to modify `git-commit-setup-hook`.

How validating!
