    maybe since i had 1.2se shoved down my throat in college 😭
  • s
    even people who love java look back at 1.2se as a dark horrible time
  • a
    also thank you for the note! cpp works perfectly!
  • s
    glad it worked!
  • a
    for work i mostly live in ancient C - we don't even have the ability to declare variables within for loop definitions
  • s
    yikes
  • s
    for work i do data cleanup and dispatching for a company with a whole bunch of big brown trucks, and occasionally make a "fancy" spreadsheet 😅
  • a
    network development still tends to live right on the metal - it was a huge culture shift for me to go from clojure to C
  • a
    when i switched companies a few years back
  • s
    yeah, well, when you're working on what is often the bottleneck these days, every .000001 seconds counts
  • s
    i like a lot about clojure
  • a
    yup exactly!
  • s
    except the jvm
  • s
    lemme rephrase that
  • s
    the jvm itself is a marvel of software engineering
  • s
    the ecosystem around the languages that thrive on it makes me want to facedesk until my nose is coming out the back of my head.
  • a
    i have a love hate relationship with the jvm
  • s
    i'm starting to get the feeling that the v8 engine (or something similar with deno) is gonna be the next jvm though.
  • s
    unless wasm comes in and mops the floor
  • a
    its always fun to find out whats next
  • s
    watch, something radical happens and the mercury programming language takes over the world
  • a
    lol rust is going to take over my industry any day now (or so i keep being told)
  • s
    there's worse fates than rust
  • s
    i'm hoping zig makes itself known though tbh
  • s
    and crystal is kinda snazzy if they could get proper multicore in it.

    I'm trying to get more familiar with Dendron's user tags (https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/ESqOqSOEo54lqvGLlQXM6/). When I create a new user note, I'd like it to be built from a template. This is easy, I can create a schema + template and we're off. My template:
    Copy code
    yaml
---
id: fc3kbk6iivs6yyjtpuql2yd
title: User
desc: ""
updated: 1649180005198
created: 1649180005198
social:
  linkedin:
  twitter:
  facebook:
  discord:
  github:
  hn:
  website:
  email:
location:
employer:
team:
---
    But, when I create the user, all of the blank values are filled in with `null`:
    Copy code
    yaml

  twitter: null
  facebook: null
  discord: null
  github: null
  hn: null
  website: null
  email: null
location: null
employer: null

    Is there any way to avoid this? Obviously, I could use some other filler like 
    ''
    , but I'd prefer those values to be unfilled rather than pre-populated with 
    ''
    or 
    null
    .
  • s
    I don't think you can have them unfilled unfortunately. Please feel free to send a feature request though, we should be able to make this happen.

    What are use cases for custom frontmatter? Current or planned ones? From my reading of the docs so far I could only find inserting them in your note via 
    {{ fm.customFrontmatterThing }}
    ....
  • k
    I mean I know as a developer the potentially infinite use of meta tags 😉 I was just wondering what are planned or current first-class uses of that in Dendron?
