Merge 295fe153ad into 497b0ff3b7

Hello, I've added a small blockquote below the description to indicate that this method of accessing an indefinite number of function arguments has been superseded by the use of the spread operator via rest parameters for ES6+ compatibility.

+# Files With Local Changes Cannot Be Removed
+
+This is a nice quality-of-life feature in `git` that should help you avoid
+accidentally discarding changes that won't be retrievable.
+
+```bash
+❯ git rm .tool-versions
+error: the following file has local modifications:
+    .tool-versions
+(use --cached to keep the file, or -f to force removal)
+```
+
+My `.tool-versions` file has some local changes. I don't realize that and I go
+to issue a `git rm` command on that file. Instead of quietly wiping out my
+changes, `git` lets me know I'm doing something destructive (these local
+changes won't be in the diff or the reflog).
+
+I can force the removal if I know what I'm doing with the `-f` flag. Or I can
+take the two step approach of calling `git restore` on that file and then `git
+rm`.
+
+The `--cached` flag is also interesting because it doesn't actually delete the
+file from my file system, but it does stage the file deletion with `git`. That
+means the file now shows up as one of my untracked files.
+
+See `man git-rm` for more details.

+# List The Files Being Loaded By Mise
+
+While running `mise` for the first time, after adding a `mise.toml` file to a
+project, I noticed something strange. Instead of invoking the command I had
+specified (`mise run dev`), several parellel tool downloads were kicked off. In
+addition to Ruby, it was installing an older version of Postgres, and lua. What
+gives?
+
+By running `mise cfg`, I can list all the files being loaded by `mise` and get
+to the bottom of this.
+
+```bash
+mise cfg
+
+Path                         Tools
+~/.tool-versions             node, ruby, postgres, lua
+~/code/still/.ruby-version   ruby
+~/code/still/Gemfile         (none)
+~/code/still/.tool-versions  ruby
+~/code/still/mise.toml       (none)
+```
+
+I was only thinking about the files local to my project and I forgot that I
+have a system-wide `.tool-versions` file. As we can see from the output, that
+file specifies `postgres` and `lua` as well. Mise wanted to ensure that it had
+downloaded the specified versions of each of those tools before running my
+task.

+# Find All Tool Version Files Containing Postgres
+
+I've been using [`asdf`](https://asdf-vm.com/) for many years now which means I
+have projects and directories all over my machine with `.tool-versions` files.
+Many of them specify Ruby and Node versions. Some of them also include
+PostgreSQL versions. I used to use `asdf` to manage Postgres versions, but no
+longer do that for new or active projects.
+
+I want to find all the places that a `.tool-versions` file declares `postgres`
+as a tool. That way I can begin to clean up the left behind artifacts of
+asdf-managed Postgres.
+
+By combining [`fd`](https://github.com/sharkdp/fd) (a better `find`) and
+[`rg`](https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep) (a better `grep`), I'm able to
+quickly track down the list of places.
+
+```bash
+$ fd --hidden .tool-versions ~/ | xargs rg postgres
+
+/Users/jbranchaud/.local/state/nvim/undo/%Users%jbranchaud%.tool-versions: binary file matches (found "\0" byte around offset 9)
+
+/Users/jbranchaud/code/fake-data/.tool-versions
+2:postgres 13.1
+
+/Users/jbranchaud/code/thirty_days/thirty_days_server/.tool-versions
+1:postgres 13.1
+
+/Users/jbranchaud/code/visualmode/.tool-versions
+1:postgres 11.11
+```
+
+That first instance is a binary file as part of `nvim`'s undo history which I
+can ignore. The other three are good results.
+
+I tell the `fd` command to not exclude hidden files as it looks for all
+occurrences of `.tool-versions` recursively from my home (`~/`) directory. I
+then pipe that list of files to `xargs` which makes those filenames arguments
+to the `rg postgres` command.

+# Create Todo Items In Logseq
+
+Having used GitHub flavored markdown and tools like Roam Research and Obsidian,
+I'm used to being able to add interactive todo items to a document with square
+brackets, like so:
+
+```
+- [ ] Do this
+- [ ] Do that
+```
+
+This exact syntax doesn't work in Logseq, but I've figured out two ways of
+adding todo items.
+
+First, you can access the todo syntax with a forward slash command. Type `/`
+and then start typing `TODO`. It will show up as a top result. Hit enter and
+you'll have a fresh todo item that you can add a description to.
+
+Second, as the above hints at, we can get right to the todo syntax by typing
+one of `TODO`, `NOW`, or `LATER` in all caps followed by a description. For
+example:
+
+```
+TODO Send out invoices
+NOW Reply to those emails
+LATER Schedule that meeting
+```
+
+These will render as checkable boxes marked as either `TODO`, `NOW`, or
+`LATER`, until they are checked off.
+
+You can also search for blocks that match one of these three categories.
