Today I learned that arguably one of the best writers on the X-Files, Darin Morgan, started out on the show as a monster in a rubber suit in season two. His brother was already a producer and writer on the show.

This is such a Hollywood story.

If I ever were to write a book about SQLite, it would be called: "In place of a legal notice, here is a blessing."

I feel like this is all practice for the next phase of my life, which I think will have more meaningful deep research. I've got a knowledge graph tool, and now I'm learning how to use it.

Today's logs. I mostly just studied the naive backtracking solution for a leetcode problem.

It was a good way to practice my knowledge graph populating. The cross references are becoming mighty powerful. I think it's starting to become Worth My Time. Patterns are emerging in unexpected places, just like the Zettelkasten Oracle predicted.

An editor that doesn't affect the way you think about text is not worth knowing.

Got totally distracted with an idea this morning involving Scheme, S-expressions, ASTs, literate programming, and knowledge graphs.

The literate program markup looks like this:

https://github.com/PaulBatchelor/Recurse/blob/main/scratch/edexp/proto.e

This builds up a s-expressions as trees (take my word for it)

It "tangles" into scheme code that looks like this:

https://github.com/PaulBatchelor/Recurse/blob/main/scratch/edexp/output.scm

It "weaves" into knowledge graph markup (dagzet), which can then be rendered into an HTML document like this one:

https://pbat.ch/recurse/dz/edexp_test/program/

Once in the knowledge graph format, I can treat every atom in the tree like a node in a graph and connect them to any other nodes in the graph. I can also use it to create emergent structures in my knowledge graph, such as this dynamically produced comments page:

https://pbat.ch/recurse/dz/edexp_test/comments/

Did some top-down code diving on ripgrep tonight using my code annotation system. Found main, documented the parts of that function, then the parts of those functions.

Next, I'll be digging into the single-threaded search operation.

I've added just enough features to my knowledge graph that it can be used as a code annotation tool.

Looking forward to doing more code diving in the new year.

It is purple. We love purple.

It has a cool mouse.

The keyboard is backlit. You can change the color and brightness with the mouse.

The OLED menu is neat.

I broke the WiFi oops. Luckily I bookmarked the fix months ago, and had an Ethernet adapter.

No USB A ports. Only USB C. Getting used to this new world.

Typing is slow, but I think I can get used to it like I did on my GPD pocket 2.

Battery life seems small, but I don't mind.

Based on how some of my software is running, it doesn't seem to be the Fastest Computer. But, I think it'll be fast enough for my needs.

Some of the sway keybindings are different than the defaults. But, I'm into it.

This is a cool laptop for doing Cool Things. I'm looking forward to getting more acquainted with it.

Finally united with my MNT pocket reform. I've never felt so cool with a laptop.

I'm still thinking about the company that literally asked my friend to "build excalidraw" from scratch in two hours for a technical interview. What a useless and needlessly stressful process.
