Cuttlefish Dev Log / Scratch Notes

Dev Prayers for Machine Week

things that should work before MW

• properly handle logging of anything and be able to inspect any datatype with this kind of tool (i.e. see the path...)
• err path cleanup ... i.e. cover cases of new hunk writing:
• syntax errors (in code, on load)
• file naming errors
• dom access (this is bigish, and maybe containable)

CF pre MW

• save / open program with UI information... positions
• hunk loading error paths / errors from hunks appear by hunks / same with logs
• the merge / recreate / state searching algorithms are key, and no good, and maybe require / want a UI rewrite. i.e. I am running bootstraps now at the stepper (and the DLPcores later) that write new link states, etc, and those push 'replaceDef' msgs up to cuttlefish on hello ...
• i.e. also: try restarting / refreshing lower levels: we broke: fix or remove functionality

Dev:

• jquery, d3 are in the view/ folder
• dom rework (multiple doms... the global $().find() problem)
  • dom: request animation frame (i.e. in ghost) is not deleted,
• hunkify ?

Compound Dmseg and MDMseg

I would really want to see MDmseg, and Dmseg, as made up of compound types: a great example for in-context abstractions, readily taken apart, and of using known serializations to deliver complex types downstream. This I would like to take shots at today, or / a looping example.

JS Afternoon

data from other sources / udp / streams etc the complex / compound data type wrap is order 1 motion control pls MDArray(number) type, similar for others? Compound typing Array(type) (functional typing... this 'of' this, not this 'and' that) Useability / bughunting ... Accel control -> pressure inputs, jogging? ReadCSV / ReadJSON / Load on Default? / WriteJSON / Cleanup... Other 'basics' - addition, subtraction, and for various types? Expression... / evaluate UI?

paths are MDArrays unwrap MDArray 3d vector display ++ chart task: take path from JSON, split mdarray -> components, chart x, 3d render xyz, ok

Dev Golf

hour +/- long tasks under existing structures,

- assign meaning to charts and graphs (date / location / etc)  
 - this should be generic json-object making, yeah? / csv
- save tests as .json objects (optionally) develop program for reading  
 - overlay multiples, save images  
 - read-in csv as well, polymorphic for outputs
- generic wrap / unwrap data objects ...
- the force loop / layout (floop.js)
 - wire length != zero
 - better keepout-rectangles
 - spawn new hunks at the mouse (floaters! things 'inside' of others!)
 - how to do this all elegantly ... it's ah big redesign: take some hours, consider, maybe it's not so grand ?
- sys / save etc
 - dates & times in metadata on list ...
 - save systems w/ layout ??
- menu
 - arrow keys to bump through items
- import
 - lit-html, emojis don't load when developing offline: store them somewhere.
 - lit-html just writes html strings into the dom? probably easy to rm

Examples

Build a looping structure that replaces / stands in for traditional 'for/while' type structures. Recursing through offsets for the path is the currently pertinent example. Again this is a kind of polymorphic issue / etc. Want to write one kind of recursor, often need some secondary trigger / flowcontrol gate item that is of-the-appropriate-type.

Aspirational Dev
