trying datascript as memory database for my project

it has pure javascript api, fits my no-npm requirement

once familiar with the syntax, it's very powerful:

Find directors who have directed Arnold Schwarzenegger in a movie.

[:find ?name
 :where
 [?p :person/name "Arnold Schwarzenegger"]
 [?m :movie/cast ?p]
 [?m :movie/director ?d]
 [?d :person/name ?name]]

I'm learning it from Learn Datalog Today!

found a beautiful font: Alegreya ht

microsoft/Phi-3-mini-4k-instruct-gguf is very good, and runs reasonably fast on my mac mini

need the latest llamafile v0.8.1 to run it

recently trying small databases:

this is interesting, maybe change my way of writing web components

clojure

a dependencyless simple pattern for asynchronous effect (like Promise.resolve and Promise.reject)

using mbsmith/clj-systemtray to create a system tray menu for my notebook

even the project is 10 years old, but awt still works

also its documentation is generated by marginalia

libraries to try:

an emacs package for copilot: copilot-emacs/copilot.el

pretty easy to setup, but I still prefer the chat interface

I'm writing a program to tile windows, using kwhat/jnativehook: Global keyboard and mouse listeners for Java. to setup keyboard shortcuts

this reminds me I haven't caught up with python for a long time, maybe it's time to revisit and explore new language features

while I'm still working on lucene as search engine, found this cli tool that could be useful: quickwit-oss/tantivy-cli
