You can help to keep Ukrainians safe. By contributing, you are allowing people to survive and helping people to persevere. You are also letting them know that they are not alone, and that you can see a better future, and want to part of it. Please help if you can. snyder.substack.com/p/sky-defens...

Why am I writing this? I just clicked on a YouTube link and made the mistake of looking at the suggested videos while not being signed in. MULTIPLE fake doctor videos with multiple hundred thousand of views. Some with over a million. As a tech nerd that makes me furious.

MetroidBRAINIA? Yep, that's right! Here's our excessively deep dive into our favorite new genre. thinkygames.com/feat...

#neovim Development News The 0.12 version will have minimal built-in plugin manager. It is still a work in progress, so use it carefully (if you use Nightly builds) and expect breaking changes without notice. PR: - github.com/neovim/neovi...

#neovim Development News The 0.12 version will start to use Zig language to build Neovim itself. This should improve overall Neovim development and should not have visible effect on users. Thanks, @bfredl.bsky.social! PRs (so far): - github.com/neovim/neovi... - github.com/neovim/neovi...

Wow, a comment on HN I actually agree with!

Hear no evil, hear all evil, hear some evil.

TIL it's possible to trace process send/receive messages in OTP via www.erlang.org/doc/apps/ker...

With great satisfaction, I announce that my PhD thesis, titled "Code Smells and Refactorings for Elixir," is now publicly available! All the results and methodological details used in our research over the past three years can be openly accessed at: repositorio.ufmg.br/handle/1843/... #ElixirLang

TypeScript team: rewrites compiler in Go. Go community: what do you mean your new compiler takes more than a minute to compile? Unacceptable. Dishonorable even. We are so sorry for this sub par experience. Not how we do things around here. Two days later: WIP 5x speedup. HN: why pick Go anyway?

My piece for TIME: "Ukraine has options. Europe is still in the game. Ideas on how to mitigate the damage from Trump’s siding with Putin are boiling. As long as we, the people, want to keep our country we love, there is always a way forward." time.com/7265176/trum...

Our Animal Well Documentary is now available! Thanks to Billy Basso (@animalwell.bsky.social) for entrusting me with telling his story, and thanks to @javedlsterritt.bsky.social for editing it into a wonderful video. Really happy to be making documentaries again and there's more to come!

In collaboration with AGH University of Krakow, we're offering a free introductory Elixir programming course designed to get you started on your Elixir journey! 💡 📅 Course Details: Duration: 4 weeks Sessions: 4 sessions, 2 hours each Instructors: Paweł Długosz & Klemens Łukaszczyk

morning: you report an issue with docker compose an hour later: your issue gets fixed evening: a release containing bugfix is published

Honestly, the greatest strengths of AI-driven programming (for me at least) are: - VERY fast prototyping (especially UI stuff) - Utility / automation scripts that I would never-ever had the energy to write myself - Help with debugging - FIXTURES in tests - Writing tests for me ...and that's a lot.

Happy to finally share that our Animal Well Documentary (@animalwell.bsky.social) will officially premiere on @secondwindgroup.com on Thursday, February 27th at 10 AM CT. Very excited to finally get this project out there, and grateful to have had the opportunity to tell this story.

until the time comes for me to try jj, I've tried git-absorb only to realize... what a lovely tool it is I've known about it for a while, but have been sleeping on it for far too long 😭 saves me so much time editing commits as I review my own PRs & fix subtle issues in commits

🐥 Running an Elixir Phoenix release using systemd ##devops ##ElixirLang ##ElixirPhoenix ##linux ##phoenix ##sysadmin

dev.to/gwenshap/deb... a refreshingly well-written technical article on the topic of usage of pgvector PostgreSQL extension: compact, informative and quite clearly written

got the true ending in animal well. though not without consulting the guide in the last stretch. what a delightful game!

I've made an interactive list of #eBPF research papers. Only papers from the top academic conferences, including lots of papers on eBPF verification, kernel offloads, security analysis, etc. pchaigno.github.io/bpf/2025/01/... I plan to keep the list up-to-date.

Personality is how you respond on a typical day. Character is how you show up on a hard day. It's easy to demonstrate fairness, integrity, and generosity when things are going well. The real question is whether you stand by those values when the deck is stacked against you.

We aren't all toddlers, obviously, but in my experience this principle generalizes. It's one of the reasons I've found producing educational materials to be so challenging. If you try to unload too much information all at once, your readers get overwhelmed and your original goal is thwarted.

TIL hitting Ctrl-g in iex / erl sessions gives you what's known as a "User switch command" menu, which can be used to terminate the session (for some reason session termination rebelled on me in one of my tabs in Ghostty; not in other tabs though) #ElixirLang

What I actually want is a site where I can buy any music or movie or tv show I want, but there’s zero fulfillment mechanism. Just send the money to the artists and I’ll go pirate it myself but now it’s legal because I paid for it. Eliminate the middle man stupid streaming services.

Merry Christmas, dear world. Come to Kyiv for the winter holidays at some point; you will not regret it.

Good old Kyiv just tonight

This whole story of unconceivable hesitancy and political short-sightedness is just tragic. A truly unique historic situation of 2022 was lost to absurd and self-consuming exercises in "escalation management," now bringing tragic results. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Actually an overlooked and important point not only in this context.

Oh my, I kind of knew about the existence of ast-grep, but... I just tried it and it's blew my mind In the past 1h been able to mass-refactor SO MUCH code with it. I don't think I've been able to move this much code before so quickly 🤯

Absolute treasure: a 28h long playlist with Ukrainian songs used in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2. Wow! Found some classics but also... so many great songs I had no clue about! mezha.media/en/2024/11/2...

TIL about a concept called "nominal types" in Erlang github.com/erlang/otp/p... #ElixirLang

This secret gist gist.github.com/marcandre/fd... remains a fantastic reference with strategies to remove transitive dependencies from Elixir code Used it to get down to 0 reported transitive deps in projects with ~300 and ~1500 modules #ElixirLang

TIL you can produce an .rtf with syntax highlighting like this: highlight --style fineblue --syntax elixir --out-format rtf --input my-elixir-code.ex --output out.rtf The tool: gitlab.com/saalen/highl... Very handy to add colorful code snippets in Apple Keynote! #ElixirLang

Making slides and repeating one of my strongest belief to myself in this hour of doubt: Empirically, there's no correlation between how beautiful slides are and how impactful the talk is.
