The linked blog post about making this is an excellent read.

Thanks! I think I spent as much time writing the post as I did making the skill, so I’m happy someone got some value out of it.

Think of it as an intuitive alternate notation. + means debit, - means credit.

But not always. In a liability account, - means debit. And whether you show the balance itself as a positive or negative can be situational. I just find it more confusing for no good reason tbh. This is like intro to accounting stuff anyone would learn in college.

Some recent notes, somewhat mac-specific:

"I'm having trouble finding one true activity monitor on mac. I tried all of these on mac with certain criteria in mind (reliability, renicing, good UX):

- Activity Monitor: doesn't update charts when in background, doesn't show nice value, doesn't allow renice, doesn't hide idle processes

- Apple's top: non-standard, information overload, no nice/renice/idle/filter

- htop: doesn't show accurate process cpu usages (known bug awaiting release), no idle hiding. (Use latest release to avoid crashes.)

- btop: hangs (known bug awaiting release), no nice/renice/idle hiding

- bottom: basic

- gotop: I forget

- glances: pretty good, supports nice & renice. That or htop seem to be the only options for that. glances is CPU-heavy.

- zenith: also good, faster, and at least shows nice. (Crashes if you sort by it, known bug awaiting fix.)"

I went with zenith.

Lauding with faint blame ? :)

You're speaking of "GHC haskell" there. Yes that is the main stream - and this will get solved there sooner or later - but you can also do a fair amount of Haskell without GHC. Eg MicroHs is getting increasingly capable and I believe is highly bootstrappable.

TIL MicroHS. Might try packaging this soon if it is in fact bootstrappable and can be deterministically compiled.

I always liked https://www.extrema.is/articles/haskell-books/haskell-tutori... . But there's a lot out there. Have a look at https://joyful.com/Haskell+map . Or: read code. Or, just build practical stuff and seek help in the chats/fora when you hit problems.

Yes, it's still a thing.

I had the same question. The demo video does not look like half blocks. More details of the terminal, font, window config used would be illuminating.
