Created December 15, 2013 20:25
List to structured list scratchpade
;; I have
(def events ["== A ==" "=== A.1 ===" "* One" "* Two" "** Two.A" "** Two.B" "== B =="])
;; (i.e. wikipedia markup) And what I want is:
;; (("== A =="
;; ("=== A.1 ==="
;; ("* One"
;; "* Two"
;; ("** Two.A"

ftrain / .emacs
Last active July 16, 2021 17:26
a nice .emacs for when you are on a terminal. Respects scroll wheel events. Very useful when run inside of tmux and combined with this tmuxconf: https://gist.github.com/ftrain/8443744
;; .emacs
;;; uncomment this line to disable loading of "default.el" at startup
;; (setq inhibit-default-init t)
;; enable visual feedback on selections
(setq transient-mark-mode t)
;; default to better frame titles
(setq frame-title-format

Annotated rhyming dictionary
;; This is at: https://gist.github.com/8655399
;; So we want a rhyming dictionary in Clojure. Jack Rusher put up
;; this code here:
;;
;; https://gist.github.com/jackrusher/8640437
;;
;; I'm going to study this code and learn as I go.
;;
;; First I put it in a namespace.
(def date-parsers [nil (java.text.SimpleDateFormat. "yyyy") (java.text.SimpleDateFormat. "yyyy-M") (java.text.SimpleDateFormat. "yyyy-M-dd")])
(def grains [:decade :year :month :day]) ;; what's decade doing?
(map #(let [[_ year month day] (re-find #"(\d{2,4})[-_]([\dx]{2})[-_]([\dx]{2})" %)
date (first (split-with (partial not= "xx") [(if (= (count year) 2) (str "19" year) year) month day]))]
[(.parse (parsers (count date)) (clojure.string/join "-" date)) (grains (count date))])
["thefilehasaname__1939-xx-01.mp3"
"thefilehasaname__39_01_01.mp3"
"thefilehasaname__39-01-01.mp3"
;; simplest fold definition
(define (fold f init l)
(if (null? l) init (fold f (f init (car l)) (cdr l))))
;; by this time you are almost certainly comfortable with signatures like:
;; Int -> Int
(fold + 0 '[1 2 3 4 5])
;; => 15
