2020-07-30	Mark Dangal as watched	William Carroll	2	-1/+1
	Many Bollywood movies have excellent acting, excellent directing, excellent storytelling, but in my opinion, they spoil this with unnecessary musicals interspersed throughout the films. Dangal is a notable exception here. Overall, I'd say that this movie is appropriately rated!
2020-07-30	Mark Hitchcock's Vertigo as watched	William Carroll	2	-1/+1
	Watched the famous "Vertigo" with the timeless Jimmy Stewart. Overall I'd say that the film is overhyped, but worth watching nevertheless.
2020-07-26	Watch "Hacksaw Ridge"	William Carroll	2	-1/+1
	I don't plan on writing movie reviews in my Git commit message.
2020-07-26	Add query for the productive directors	William Carroll	1	-0/+15
	Show the movies from directors that appear more than once in the list.
2020-07-26	Create a scratch buffer for common queries	William Carroll	1	-0/+50
	Defining some commonly used criteria for selecting movies as SQL queries.
2020-07-26	Mark Andhadhun as watched	William Carroll	1	-1/+1
	What a confusing movie this was... I may need to watch it a second time to better understand what happened, but I found watching it once already so exhausting that I'm not sure I'll ever watch it again.
2020-07-26	Update schema for Movies table	William Carroll	2	-90/+0
	Added the following fields (would be cool if `git` could show this): - rating - haveWatched - director - isCartoon - requiresSubtitles
2020-07-26	Create //playbooks/sqlite3.md	William Carroll	1	-0/+115
	Write a playbook for using SQLite to capture some trivia that I often forget in between my ~infrequent uses of SQLite.
2020-07-26	Create //playbooks/shell.md	William Carroll	1	-0/+12
	Taken from the overview: > I'm making this as an offline reference for some of the commands that I use > often enough to need to remember but not often enough to actually remember.
2020-07-26	Add .sqliterc to //configs	William Carroll	1	-0/+2
	Prefer these more human-readable defaults to SQLite.
2020-07-26	Create SQLite database from unwatched movies in imdb-top-250.org	William Carroll	3	-2/+92
	The astute observer may notice that the number of entries in db.sqlite3 is fewer than the number of unwatched movies in imdb-top-250.org. I'm at a lake in Germany with Mimi and Cullen, so we took the intersection of my unwatched movies, Mimi's unwatched movies, and Cullen's unwatched movies.
2020-07-24	Add two steps to finances playbook	William Carroll	1	-0/+2
	I needed to add the first step since I dipped into my Emergency fund last month to pay for someone to prepare my US tax return. I added the other step as a reminder.
2020-07-24	Fix typo in finances playbook	William Carroll	1	-1/+1
	amount -> amounts
2020-07-21	Support dictionary.md	William Carroll	1	-0/+12
	Back when I owned an iPhone -- before I switched (mistakenly and thus temporarily) to Android -- I had a note for each year's newly learned words. As I am condensing as many of my documents as possible into my briefcase, I decided it is time for including a dictionary. I can still record words on my phone, and then I can transfer them to this document.
2020-07-20	Create //todo-lists	William Carroll	3	-0/+256
	In the beginning there existed only a generic //org directory... This directory was generic enough to include any .org file regardless of its purpose, but specific enough to disallow membership of other worthy files of the Markdown ilk. Then came the //playbooks directory, which robbed //org of most of its inhabitants... In the interim various .md and .org TODO lists existed scattered across the landscape of the monorepo... some existed in far-away, exotic lands like "travel-histlist"... These fractious tribes shared much in common with their distant relatives, but the superficial differences granted the simple-minded, draconian filesystem license to prevent them from mingling. Then one day the monorepo had a new visitor: //todo-lists. //todo-lists restored order to the monorepo, uniting all of the fractious documents under one roof. .md and .org files held hands and sang Kumbaya around a blazing fire for the first time in history. All was well, and all were happy.
2020-07-20	Create //playbooks	William Carroll	8	-1/+4
	I'm particularly excited about this idea. As I was reading Graham's "Erase your darlings" blog post, I had an idea: I should have playbooks at the root of my monorepo. I can have playbooks for the following: - How to install NixOS - How to build GCR images from Nix expressions - A collection of miscellaneous shell commands (e.g. "how to kill a process by name") - What series of steps should I follow when I receive a paycheck I already keep README's at the root of each package, which I think is where many of these instructions belong. Other tutorials that I write for myself that do not belong to any package can go in //playbooks. I also will host my personal habits in //playbooks since habits are a bit like playbooks for life. Let's see how this idea ages as the caffeine wears off...
2020-07-20	Move monzo_ynab into //tools	William Carroll	16	-3/+3
	Optimizing is difficult: I like flat hierarchies because I don't like directory-hopping, but I also would like a cleaner root for my mono-repo. Bombs away! Well it's that time again, folks: spring cleaning! Here I am musing about a few things that bother me: - Should I use kebab-case or snake_case? - It feels ~confusing to have //tools and //utils. What a //projects? Isn't everything a project? sigh
2020-07-20	Add a README to haskell-file	William Carroll	1	-0/+7
	Because every library/package deserves a README.
2020-07-20	Move AOC into //scratch	William Carroll	8	-0/+0
	Also rename it advent-of-code-2019 since I expect to participate this year as well. TODO: Should directories and files be name like-this or like_this?
2020-07-17	Partially complete IO chapter exercises	William Carroll	1	-0/+35
	Inconveniently, I do not have the cipher code that I wrote from a previous chapter, and I'm not eager to reimplement it. TODO - Implement encrypt - Implement decrypt - Read all characters from STDIN
2020-07-17	Remove week / 52 indicator	William Carroll	1	-1/+1
	This is taking up too much space.
2020-07-17	Update grocery list	William Carroll	1	-13/+33
	- Add new entries - Change quantities of existing entries
2020-07-17	Partially complete the "Basic Libraries" chapter exercises	William Carroll	1	-0/+60
	I was instructed to benchmark these functions, but I couldn't get the benchmarking library to run using Nix -- although I'm sure it's possible. Unfortunately the book recommends using `stack`, which I couldn't reproduce.
2020-07-14	Complete exercises for "Non-Strictness" chapter	William Carroll	1	-0/+6
	I completed most of the exercises for this enlightening chapter in ghci.
2020-07-12	Finish exercises for Monad Transformer chapter	William Carroll	1	-6/+110
	I expect to look back on this code and cringe, but... it compiles!
2020-07-12	Partially complete Monad Transformer exercises	William Carroll	1	-0/+79
	Write Functor, Applicative, Monad instances for: - MaybeT - EitherT - ReaderT
2020-07-11	Partially complete some of the exercises for Composing Types	William Carroll	1	-0/+75
	I believe there are two exercises sets in the "Composing Types" chapter. Here are some of my answers so far... I'm having trouble implementing Foldable for Compose. I was able to implement a version of it by adding the (Functor f) constraint to the instance signature, but I think I cheated. I will revisit these problems as well as the earlier exercises later.
2020-07-06	Misc Emacs improvements	William Carroll	2	-0/+6
	I stole these bad-boys from @tazjin's config.
2020-07-06	Add ref attribute to fetchGit	William Carroll	1	-5/+7
	Because revs afa9ca, dc80d7 aren't in the "default" (typically "master") branch of NixOS/nixpkgs-channels, I need to specify the ref (aka branch) in order for fetchGit to resolve the rev.
2020-07-06	Prefer telephone-line to doom-modeline	William Carroll	3	-4/+67
	After growing frustrated with doom-modeline's compatibility with my EXWM setup, I decided to borrow @tazjin's setup, which I find to be much more appealing.
2020-07-02	Clear $NIX_PATH	William Carroll	2	-5/+23
	Ensure that $NIX_PATH is empty using a .envrc file. nix.dev considers references to <nixpkgs>, <briefcase>, <depot>, <unstable> to be an anti-pattern because it hinders reproducibility by introducing an implicit environment. This repository is chock-full of references to <{nixpkgs,unstable,briefcase,depot}>, so right now everything is broken.
2020-07-02	Prefer builtins.path	William Carroll	12	-15/+13
	Thanks to the Nix anti-patterns documented here... https://nix.dev/anti-patterns/language.html#reproducability-referencing-top-level-directory-with ...I'm cleaning up some of my Nix expressions. Read the article for more context.
2020-07-01	Impl part 3/3 for Memo	William Carroll	1	-29/+10
	Refactor the caching policy for the Memo by evicting the elements that have been the least-recently-accessed. Python's heapq module default to a min-heap. By storing our heap elements as (UnixTime, a), we can guarantee that when we call heappop, we will get the element with the lowest UnixTime value in heap (i.e. the oldest). When we call heappush, we use (time.time(), key) and these values -- by having the largest UnixTime, will propogate to the bottom of the min-heap.
2020-07-01	Support part 2/3 for the Memo problem	William Carroll	1	-4/+64
	Bound the size of the memo by creating a BoundedQueue. Whenever we add elements to the BoundedQueue, we remove the oldest elements. We use the BoundedQueue to control the size of our dictionary that we're using to store our key-value pairs.
2020-07-01	Implement part 1/3 for "Memo"	William Carroll	1	-0/+19
	After hearing from a Jane Street recruiter, I decided to dust off some of the DS&As knowledge. I found this article online, which outlines an example problem called "Memo": https://blog.janestreet.com/what-a-jane-street-dev-interview-is-like/ Here's part 1 of the solution in Python.
2020-07-01	Convert grocery list to an .org file	William Carroll	2	-18/+15
	Ensure that the export.hs script refers to the .org file.
2020-07-01	Complete exercises for Reader and State chapters	William Carroll	2	-0/+242
	It's beautiful how State is just Reader that returns a tuple of (a, r) instead of just a, allowing you to modify the environment (i.e. state). ```haskell newtype Reader r a = Reader { runReader :: r -> a } newtype State s a = State { runState :: s -> (a, s) } ```
2020-07-01	Create a .ghci for this directory	William Carroll	1	-0/+1
	I would've created on at $HOME/.ghci, but I don't need that yet, and I didn't want to bother with home-manager.
2020-07-01	Complete exercises from Traversable chapter	William Carroll	1	-0/+131
	I feel much more comfortable using `traverse` and `sequenceA`. I even used both of them in the Haskell program that I wrote at work to export a trix.
2020-06-30	Now removing "Closed"	William Carroll	1	-1/+0
	At this point, I'm starting to lose interest.
2020-06-30	Prefer "Closed" authMode	William Carroll	1	-1/+1
	Setting `authMode = "Registered"` prevents me from running the `register <password>` command from inside of `bitlbee`, which I believe I need to run...
2020-06-30	Remove auth from Bitlbee	William Carroll	1	-1/+0
	I'm having trouble getting PAM auth to work, so I'm temporarily disabling it. TIL that I can use the following to verify that PAM is properly setup for a program (e.g. `bitlbee`). ``` pamtester -v bitlbee $(whoami) authenticate ``` ...but despite this succeeding, I still cannot use the `identify` command in `bitlbee` to successfully authenticate. It just tells me "Incorrect password" even though I'm providing it the same password that I type when doing the `pamtester` command from above. Computers!
2020-06-30	Add auth to bitlbee	William Carroll	1	-0/+2
	Use Linux's PAM for Bitlbee's auth.
2020-06-30	Support bitlbee + stunnel	William Carroll	1	-1/+19
	TLS support for bitlbee...
2020-06-30	Open :6667	William Carroll	1	-1/+2
	Attempt to access Bitlbee from IRCCloud.com client...
2020-06-30	Support bitlbee	William Carroll	1	-0/+8
	I'm still not entirely sure what bitlbee does, but I know this: I want as many messengers in the same place as possible: IRC, Slack, Telegram. @tazjin tells me that Bitlbee will help me get to the promised land. This is hopefully one step of many in that direction.
2020-06-27	Group groceries/list	William Carroll	1	-31/+43
	- Change list.txt -> list.org - Group groceries by category - Sort categories by store layout
2020-06-27	Add export script for groceries	William Carroll	4	-43/+69
	At this point, I may be taking this idea too far, but what the heck?
2020-06-18	Create Nix shell for Haskell scratchpad	William Carroll	1	-0/+10
	Helps me run my chapter exercises.
2020-06-18	Complete the Monad chapter	William Carroll	1	-0/+178
	From "Haskell Programming from First Principles"... I have completed all of the exercises in the book thus far, but I only recently dedicated a Haskell module for each chapter. Previously I created ad hoc modules per exercise, per chapter... it was chaotic.
