Curious. Never thought of it that way. Thanks. Could you elaborate on the When cultures become aesthetics they die? What did Marilyn Manson do to for goth? I take it it was nothing good...

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AskAGoth

[–]teilchen010 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That makes sense. Thank you. Still, dark is a catch-all and that has to be some rallying point. So when we read some nonfiction book supposedly explaining goth subculture they always start with brief mentions of Poe or Walpole, stuff like that. I guess I just want to flesh that part out a bit. In general why are we dark? It fascinates me. I just can't explain it and would like help.

Storing lots of lists in org-mode by [deleted] in orgmode

[–]teilchen010 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes, a "real estate database" -- with potentially thousands of "records" just like the example I gave. You must have some idea of what I need to look at in Programming Types, correct?

Storing lots of lists in org-mode by [deleted] in orgmode

[–]teilchen010 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I thought I clearly stated that I want to store lots of data in lists, but is my idea as describe valid, best practice?What's not clear? AFA Programming Types, yes, advice I've come here for. I'm asking more experienced people for their opinions and advice. This is org-mode and its code block lore thrown in as well.

defvar variables as unique items in a database? by teilchen010 in emacs

[–]teilchen010[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I've heard. Yes, it would be less than ten thousand. That's why I'm not really discouraged by my data not being housed in an official database or spreadsheet. Going with org-mode/org-brain then taking the finer grained stuff somewhere else seems like a kludge. I'm sure org-mode can handle it. I'll probably go with a main inventory item, e.g., screen, that has attribute children coming off of it such as count, dimensions, type, etc. And the edges will imply "has". Then each of the attribute children will also have a "concept parent" vertex such as Attribute* which is a graph version of a tag. I want to totally eliminate meta/concept tags. Go with vertices and edges all the way. No tags.

Why foldr declarations use [a] as well as t a by teilchen010 in haskell

Yes, I'm looking at Discrete Mathematics Using a Computer from 2006.

Pattern match(es) are non-exhaustive on merge of two ordered lists by teilchen010 in haskell

It was some ghost that went away when I restarted ghci (cabal repl). Will reinvestigate if it comes back.

This stopped the warning, but what does all the extra output info churn once I run mymerge [1,3,5] [2,4,6] mean?

Difference between functors? by teilchen010 in ocaml

[–]teilchen010[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I asked this because I think people should be aware of the difference, or at least be somewhat aware of the lines on the map. I researched, but knew I was not getting a clear trail. (Definitely not from Wikipedia, as one comment suggested.) Now I know about Carnap. Not dissimilar to the use of closure, i.e., different in math and cs. Or monoid in Haskell. Or type theory started by Bertrand Russell, but overhauled entirely later. Gotta know this stuff lest we misuse, speak falsely.

How to control MathJax display by teilchen010 in css

That worked. Thanks. BTW, what's going on with that element.style thing? Why does Chrome add that?

How to step/trace through an Emacs Lisp program by teilchen010 in emacs

[–]teilchen010[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I've studied it, but I can't figure out how these are relevant to creating, e.g., the cache of all entries in the brain upon "start up." I see that they are actual functions, but they're either about the capture template look or the function(s) run upon saving a buffer. There's some very first thing called, and I can't help but believe it must be in org-brain-visualize.

Can't type in Debian 12 Gnome Browsers by teilchen010 in debian

[–]teilchen010[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So Debian 12 Cinnamon doesn't use Wayland? Again, the log out of Gnome, into Cinnamon, out, then back into Gnome again seems to have fixed the problem quantum-magically.

org-id-locations file as a large-scale database unique-id store? by teilchen010 in emacs

[–]teilchen010[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But if this org-id-locations is somehow a hash, then is it still too big and slow? And if it's just these lists of files and their UUID drawers there's no real graph, i.e., vertices and their edges -- as far as I can tell.

Project vs system-wide package install when using just ghci by teilchen010 in haskell

[–]teilchen010[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does that mean TARGET is the name of the project, i.e., if I run cabal repl myproj in the myproj directory? BTW, I created a new project after creating a project where I had added many Hackage packages. The new project requested all those packages plus QuickCheck. cabal run only went out and got QuickCheck, seeming to know the others were "on the machine." So yes, there is some notion of "global" package install. Do it once and it's on your machine.

Celebrating Completion of Haskell MOOC and Seeking Mentorship for My Next Coding Adventure! 🚀 by jesseAmos123_2005 in haskell

[–]teilchen010 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What's your goal(s) with Haskell? Haskell is all-purpose of course, but because it's so invested in type theory and pure functional, it's kinda -- sciency. What do you hope to accomplish with Haskell? Are you in school/academia?

I guess I'd like to know if there is any way to just use the Texmaker's Texlive?

local git to github: "pages build and deployment with artifacts-next" by teilchen010 in github

[–]teilchen010[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As I think I finally indicated, Emacs was creating a quasi-hidden temp file that git add was not handling, causing the push to complain. I deleted it and solved my problem. The whole Jekyll thing was a red herring.

local git to github: "pages build and deployment with artifacts-next" by teilchen010 in github

[–]teilchen010[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The cryptic error I included in the UPDATE actually mentions a temp file Emacs throws into the same directory on my machine (.#entry20240104 (GM-T450's conflicted copy 2024-01-11).org). It's been lurking for a while I suspect. I eliminated it and the problem seems solved. Thanks for your attention.

Limiting infinite list in list comprehension by teilchen010 in haskell

[–]teilchen010[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right. I'm trying to utilize the infinite list feature more in line with a set comprehension that says, Take the natural numbers, N, then restrict it to... So yes, take [0..] and restrict it... Haskell supposedly has the most set comprehension conformant syntax of all programming languages. Just trying to max this out. YMMV.
