Good point. I'll make a note to add some documentation to that effect. I didn't think of it originally because I didn't expect this much interest in my project.

Come to think of it, I should put in better documentation for the state option, as well as a general maximize alias.
Window selection allows for multiple criteria at once, and I can also reject windows.
I'm also able to use the window manager's client list as a source, which makes getting toplevel windows much easier.
Window movement is done using static gravity, fixing an issue where windows were moving differently if they were a terminal window versus non-terminal window.
Bonk can delete properties. I sometimes delete WM_NORMAL_HINTS if a window has size hints set where I can't resize it the way I want.
xdotool can raise windows but can't lower them (bonk can do both).

This is laughable. Nothing is unbreakable. This is using a blockchain so I'd be willing to bet that it's vulnerable to the 51% attack.
This account's post history is also suspicious. They only post articles and links to this project, and do not have any comments (no community engagement).
Sensitivity to non-harmonic noises, especially loud ones. The tapping of a pen, the hum of someone standing around. I cannot stand being around crying children. The feeling isn't quite that of blood pressure rising. More, that it creates a bubbling discomfort that makes me feel as though I might speak out against my own will. I never do, but it feels that way. So I have to remove myself from the situation or do something to rectify it.
A preference for non-verbal communication, well over that of my peers. A thumbs up. A nod. A wave instead of a "hey". I wave to greet people in case they don't hear me. I'm quiet because I don't like loud noises, and my own voice is near myself.
No interest in forming social relationships outside of work. People can tell I'm not interested because I don't offer to do activities outside of work. So I learn about people meeting up after work through overhearing people in passing. I'm okay with this, but I realize that this is outside the norm. Many social activities are not of interest to me.
I stave off loneliness through watching streams on Twitch and interacting primarily through Reddit. I get to control how much interaction I want. In both cases, I aim for smaller communities. I have a large body of programming work that I rarely discuss not out of humbleness or a desire to keep it to myself, but because the social rewards of sharing one's work don't carry the appeal to me that they do to others. At least, that's my assumption.
I can't read people's faces. I stopped bothering to try some time ago. I intuit by relation. This scenario seems familiar. I bet this person will want to do that. Aha, I thought so. I've also learned to tune into people's word selection. Do their words suggest urgency toward a goal, or a more relaxed attitude toward it? How do they ask for my attention? How do they speak about what they're wanting to learn? Where is this? Over there. Other questions with more detail suggest the speaker has more time, and may allow for more detail.
On the face of it, I can come across as relatively normal (though quiet). Deep down, the signs of Aspergers are still there, I've simply managed to find clever ways around them.
One advantage of Lily not mentioned (with regard to typing), is that the type-checking is very fast. One of the reasons I made Lily interpreted and homebrewed all the parts was because as much as I like static typing, it's often slow. Slow static typing, I think, diminishes some of the value of it since you're still waiting but in a different way.
no thanks
That, and I've read somewhere that people tend to remember the beginning and the end, but not the middle for a given thing. Edit the end because that's what people will remember, but it also won't stand out as being fully edited.
I have a secret gist at Github. Enable desktop mode. Resize the screen just right. It allows me to get a little bit done here and there, and it helps that what I'm working on is pretty simple. Update the gist when I'm done. Later, at home, I can pull the gist, fix it up, make it work, and recommit.
It's painful though. My phone's software keyboard is horrible for doing development work. But it works.
Why is there a readme link to download a .zip of the repo? I know how to clone.
Why is there a link to wikipedia's section on object orientation? I know that.
I don't understand the updates section. v3 parser implemented...okay? How is that better? What?
Then this big example which looks a lot like vanilla C. Is this the sum of what Nymph offers?
What I really want to know, and what is absent is:
* What does this give me that ordinary C doesn't?
* What are the longer-term goals of this project?
* Who is this intended for?
* How compatible will this be with ordinary C? Is there an interest in, say, gradual migration if this is to take off? What's the C <=> Nymph interop to look like?
Ideally we'd have so much ISP competition that NN wouldn't need be as necessary because the first company to propose splitting up the net would be laughed out of business.
But we've screwed that up, because there's hardly any ISP competition in America. NN makes sure they don't split up the net. Because we've seen before that they don't really care about the end consumer.
Python, on the other hand, does not need to do a typing pass at parse-time. Instead, literals are stored as values, and those values are tagged with their source class. Python's way of doing it means that a + operation is called upon with an integer and a string.
Java might be able to yield the same kind of result as Python if it had operator overloading. It could define Integer's + operator as only taking other Integer values, therein yielding a type error at parse-time.
My own language uses ++ instead of + to distinguish between addition and concatenation, though I've considered some other token since the two are quite similar to each other.
I have a degree in computer networking that I've never used. Most of my job experience is working retail. While working retail, I've found time to put into doing software development as a hobby.
Your thoughts are much appreciated.
Either one. I keep imagining quitting, but then pulling myself back. That thought of it'll get better in a month, or two months, etc. I'm hoping to motivate myself to march through as I once did, or to drop it and not look back. Not to be constantly conflicted.
For me there's a huge difference between the two. Without the meds, my concentration drifts. If I'm at home, I may be aware of an issue that needs attention, but lack the energy and focus to carry it out. I'll start watching a video, get distracted, and drift off there, then over there, and so forth.
Out in public it manifests as an occasional intense craving for sugar, though it's possible that's just me. At the peak it can be intense uncontrollable energy (the H part), as well as frequent "why did I come in here" or "I forgot to do this". It comes in getting distracted from a task and forgetting to ever come back to it.
With the meds, it's much different. I have a sharp focus. I can throw on a whole music cd and let the tracks all play out without feeling the need to jump around or to switch to a different album. Just me and the code that I need to do, or solving any other problem tasks.
In public I'm able to control myself better. I don't have to think of doing something before doing it as much, resulting in a better flow.
This isn't a matter of a diet either. I don't snack on fatty foods, and I don't have soda to drink at home. My current doctor has me take an EKG every year to make sure that it's not playing poorly with my heart.
There's a huge difference between "I get distracted from time to time" and having a constant difficulty getting tasks accomplished and lacking the motivation to complete small tasks from start to finish (getting interrupted and forgetting to go back at all).
I suspect this person has never encountered someone with actual adult ADHD. Consider also that in the past, many of these people would have just been called crazy and left at that.
