For anyone needing a new blogging platform, have you just tried emacs?
[and a few bits]
Bit of yaml for the site map, bit of markdown for the contents
[and a few bits]
Few wobbly guys in the form of web components for the fidget friendly among us
New Nita post too. She has an interview and learns she really, really loves a good trace.

I need to test a series of boundaries in a new database I'm building.
The query planner performs its own queries. The user requests a location and a capability to enact upon it. The planner walks a tree three ways, collecting who, what and how. The result is a new record. Rinse and repeat
It needs testing. I need motivation.
Meet... Emacs
[all the best stuff came out of the early 80s]
Simple API fronts the test scenarios. Same scenarios feed Rspec for a three way confirmation
User <==> Engine <==> Expect
[it's downright Borromean]
Hints too if you need them. Just walk the graph in your mind, fill in the blanks
Win a prize
[a db like no other]

Hey yo! Why's the bill so high? Who ordered all those drinks?

--- all y'all trying to split a bill without a data structure that provides conjugate projections of value and discrete causality

"""
Why didn't I think of that?
"""
--- God, who instead decided to encode value in a continuous form and call it relatively general and the discrete ledger with it's causal chain intact something more quantized and mechanistic
This is such a lovely way of injecting a bit of chance into an otherwise dreary YAML
Conditional value injection, external influence. Who needs control logic when you've got a config file and just enough sugar to make it Turing complete

The collapse phase of the query planner performs a three phase hierarchical walk
to_addr walks the identity tree
from_addr walks the provenance tree
type_addr walks the capabilities tree
The output is a stack that collapses into a single structure for execution. Looks roughly like a jelly fish with a pinch if you squint right.
If I'm going to test a thing, may as well make it interesting.
The engine produces a value
The test defines an expectation
I pitch in with what I think it should be
We all learn something

Dakboard replacement, powered by hopes and markdown
Composable widgets, feeder scripts from off the shelf parts
Difficult stuff, like rclone and iCal. Even gave it a remote control, select between multiple views from your phone, live update on the wall
Did I mention it's all markdown?
Neat
