December Seventh

On the imprecise semantics of a day on Earth, deleting master, and other administrative tasks

Day 7?

Wins:

The blog now has syntax highlighting!

  html, ok := markdown.renderWithHighlights()
  if !ok {
      panic("Something happened :/")
  }
  // html declared and not used compiler(UnusedVar)

Resolved build errors in Github actions by removing dependency on “slices” package which was definitely a 2am solution that I might have to find a real solution for later
- but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Renamed master -> main for blog repo
- finally got convinced this is correct because it
  - a: does not fit the database master-slave process pattern of thinking/behavior
    - neither the origin/main nor the production/main dictate the behavior of local main
  - b: does not fit the music industry master record model (the definitive copy)
    - “definitive” is a weird way to describe something that can change daily including forward and backward changes
  - it’s a dang misnomer
  - now just a few years before i start insisting upon trunk :0)

Notes:

a day is what fits your perception of a day
- sometimes a lot happens in a day with clear dividing lines and i think that is two days
- sometimes you stay up very late and the boundary of the day is extended by a lot
  - as you may have guessed i stayed up until like 4am and slept before i could post :–)
Blog things
- would like to have DBC show up as an acronym
- probably need spellcheck for markdown files
General things
- asap gonna start working on building a PC (linux) for the first time wowowowow
  - so slightly less time for coding, but then i will be on winter PTO so it shakes out. double december adventure_!_

continue work on highlighting
think about auto complete system
design work
- decide on product for this, need to consider ASCII limitation and might have to avoid a general design software like miro/figma/etc.
- design validation system (layout/style/content)
- design menus (restart/exit/game setup)
