### Last week

Last week was productive in terms of publishing two podcast and recording a third. I also worked a bit freelance. I only need to do a dozen hours freelance at this point in conjunction with the money from the podcast sponsorship to make ends meet. Eventually with more sponsorship and Patreon, maybe I can slowly lower the number of hours freelance towards zero. 

### Github Issues / Projects

I also started my Dec Regroup Projects, including moving my todos to Github Issues / Github Projects. I now have three Github projects:

* [To Do](https://github.com/stevekrouse/futureofcoding.org/projects/3) is my pipeline of tasks
* [To Research](https://github.com/stevekrouse/futureofcoding.org/projects/2) is my pipeline of links and topics
* [My podcast pipeline](https://github.com/stevekrouse/futureofcoding.org/projects/1) is where I organize my guests

I'm a bit worried about how this new system will interact with this log. While it felt silly to copy and paste todo lists over and over in this log, it's also a bummer doing things in my new system doesn't show up in here. This log is supposed to be a log of all my work on this project, so I'd love to pull in Github issues activity somehow... Now that I say it "out loud" I wonder if I can do that automatically... For now though, I may just copy and paste some things from Github issues here when relevant.

### Jekyll refactoring

I get really fustrated with Jekyll sometimes. My main issues were:

* I was having trouble with importing page snipets 
* I wanted to be able to preview my site locally with all the CSS. (Github Pages had some setting I didn't have set.)

After many annoying hours I was able to make both of these things work. My main next big issue is a navbar on all my pages of: 

* Home
* About
* Podcast
* Log
* Community
* Contact
* Fork

Of course new styles and logo would be nice as well, and maybe a commenting system, but it's not top priority.

And to be honest, starting the Patreon is bigger priority than all of these but I'm a bit scared so I keep procrastinating...

### Turbine 7GUIs!!

After doing 3 hours of emails yesterday (I was sick towards the end of last week, so I took Thursday off and didn't do my emails Friday, sat, or Sun), I spent a few hours messing with Turbine, and then ~7 hours today in it. So fun! Despite being rough around the edges, it feels like there's really something wonderful here - I'm very impressed with the design. Polishing this is a million times better than having to start from scratch.

To take it for a spin, I've been doing the 7GUIs tasks in Turbine, and whenever I get stuck or find a bug, I write it down, and sometimes open an issue. I'm tracking all the progress in [this Github issue](#96), which I will copy and paste here:

#### Issue opened

* [typescript issue on starter kit](funkia/turbine-starter#2)
* [combining model and view](funkia/turbine#81)
* [devtools](funkia/turbine#82)
* [a single page documentation cheatsheet](funkia/turbine#84) 
* [Text input bug](funkia/turbine#86)
* [versioned documentation and various styles of `output`](funkia/turbine#85)

#### To open issue

##### Issues using `lift`:

1. Do I import it from `jabz` and do `lift(f, b1, b2)`? Or I use it as `b1.lift(f, b2)`?
2. It doesn't work in the view with error `Attempt to sample non-replaced placeholder`
3. Doesn't seem to work for 4 behaviors but the documentation says "You can also combine in this fashion any number of behaviors"

##### Constructors need to be documented across all projects

* I need the constant behaviors, streams, `IO.of` to be easier to get at than going to the tests to find them.

##### filterApply bug

`filterApply(Behavior.of(undefined).map(() => () => true), stream).log()` upon an event from `stream` errors: `predicate.at(...) is not a function`. If you replaced `undefined` with `1`, the error goes away.

##### * `time.log()` does nothing

It should at least error if it's not going to show you anything, but I might prefer it to show me all the milliseconds.

##### when doesn't log correctly

`when(Behavior.of(true)).log()` errors `Cannot read property 'Symbol(Symbol.iterator)' of undefined` but `yield sample(when(Behavior.of(true)).map(x => console.log(x)))` outputs an `OfFuture` value

#### To look into more

* What is the `moment` function (described [here](funkia/turbine#51 (comment)))?

* Use [`loop`](https://github.com/funkia/turbine#loop) successfully without `this.source.addListener is not a function` error

* What's the difference between `go` and `fgo`? Also, the placement of arguments here is confusing:

```javascript
const tempView = ({ c, f }) =>
  go(function*() {
```

* When you can do infix dot vs prefix

* I want a dummy model so I can see the view while I mess with stuff and not get `The generator function never yielded a monad and no monad was specified.` without

```javascript
const tempModel = fgo(function* ({  }) {
  yield Now.of(10)
});
```

* Need to call the function created with `performStream` or `performStreamLatest` (I don't get the difference): `performStreamLatest(book_.map(() => withEffects(() => alert('hi'))()))`

* It's also quite annoying to keep the output and inputs in sync always. 

### Priorities 12/12/18 - 12/21/18

* freelance 10 hours
* Patreon   20 hours
* Turbine   20 hours
  * finish 7GUIs
  * work on various issues

### Push to vacation or 2019

* publish Tudor and Vlad episodes
* p4 stuff
* website design and improvements
