I'm working on a file manager!

And I thought I could document the development process here.

I've wanted to explore the idea of a non-hierarchical file manager for a long time and this is the result, Hyperplane.

The idea is that you organize files by tags (or categories or whatever name I end up with) instead of folders while still being able to access them from a traditional file manager.

You can test it now if you want, details in the README:

I just want an autocomplete select on my site that will play nice with React. So I choose react-select. Over 3300 NPM dependencies downloaded and I feel sick.

Would I recommend #emacs #EXWM as daily driver? No. But I also won't stop living in it. #GlassCannon https://orys.us/v6

One of the biggest life-savers on #emacs #exwm has been the command xrandr -s 0. This somehow refreshes things and causes my triple-monitors to wakeup in ways that -auto and -set do not. But I cannot find documentation on it ANYWHERE; I've checked the manpages, web search... nothing!

EDIT: just tried xrandr --help and saw that it is short for --size. I'm still not sure why it works such miracles, though...

What's this #pim @publicvoit talks about? A specialty of his: Personal Information Management. "Worthwhile" is basically what it's all about.

I spent an hour with the toddler and infant watching https://youtube.com/@msrachel. The 6-month old liked this, too. Definitely made me think of @DrFreemo #BabyTalk #ChildAboos

We borrowed some #PHP code from #StackOverflow that had nested ternaries without parenthesis. Turns out that as a fatal error in PHP 8 on our production server but not on the earlier PHP on our development server. Wow... a language with breaking syntax changes. I'll stick with sound #Clojure, where you never have too few parenthesis.

Remember folks, Jesus cant enter your home if you dont invite him in. He also doesnt have a reflection if he looks in a mirror.

Shucks. Looks like mstdn.games has #qoto on their block list, too. That is annoying. I've requested that QOTO be unblocked. @freemo

One of the issues with the #REPL (and #emacs which is just a great big text-oriented repl) is that it is additive in nature; it usually takes major effort or a restart to REMOVE things once they've been added (thinking on plugins which modify app state). #Clojure

Today I am reminded that the difference between lazy "a la" and correct "à la" is called a "grave accent," not the pinyin 4th tone. We are doing french-english, not chinese-latin characters! #unicode In #emacs that's "LATIN SMALL LETTER A GRAVE"

At some point (I missed the memo) #xtdb stopped espousing #datalog and invented #xtql. I'm guessing this was to step out of any annoying dependencies of datalog and dampen comparison with the other major datalog approaches in #Clojure.

https://docs.xtdb.com/intro/what-is-xtql.html I especially enjoy the side-by-side Clojure/JSON comparisons here

Filling this out for a former employee -- what's the difference between "Fired" and "Laid off"?

worldsendless, 3 months ago to FunctionalProgramming

I'm looking for recent books or up-to-date text on #FunctionalProgramming with PHP. #PHP is changing rapidly and all the books I see are nearly a decade old. Any good recommendations? #FP
