It's Saturday morning....which means time to write! On the agenda today is programmingnerves.dev. Currently going through Chapter 3 and tidying up the traffic light simulator project after @hugobarauna.com's meticulous review 😉! #MyElixirStatus #ElixirLang #Erlang

> Europeans enjoy more free time than Americans, a higher life expectancy and lower levels of inequality – all with roughly comparable productivity.

interesting - I did not realise half of this bylinesnetwork.substack.com/p/decline-wh...

Thanks for all your suggestions! I tried them all but decided to go back to Obsidian. I have very specific requirements which only Obsidian fulfills, also not to 100% but well enough.

What does not fit in this thread? Well, Typst! Today, Typst has reached and exceeded 50K stars on GitHub. We could not have asked for a greater closure of the year! Thank you: We could not have done it without you! 🫶

Which note taking app do you use for phone and desktop other than Notion or Obsidian?

Let’s introduce the BEAM to home automation. Should be fun 😊 Come and join!

Happy new year to all! We’re starting our 2026 meetup season tomorrow (Wed Jan 14th) at 19h CET via Zoom! @kevinschweikert.de will be kicking us off with a presentation on using #HomeAssistant with #Nerves and #ElixirLang Registration link: nervesmeetup.eu/meetup/kevin...

Nothing in the world will be able to stop me from going to beautiful Varberg again. I’d commandeer an old Viking ship and set sail north if I must!

Okay, now I'm this 👌 close to pulling the credit card on the following setup: Dell PowerEdge Tower T440, 16 SFF bays 2x Intel Xeon Gold 6130 16C/32T 2.1GHz 64GB DDR4 2666MHz ECC 2x Micron 5100 Pro 1.92TB SATA 2.5" - with RAID1, one for data one for backup (All refurbished with 24mo guarantee)

I was thinking since Goatmire Elixir turned out pretty good I should maybe do another one. 30th of Sep - 2nd of Oct this year. We have a list to notify you about the progress and when tickets drop, getting on that list also helps indicate interest. www.goatmire.com #elixirlang #goatmire

I’ve been running my iPhone with a grayscale filter for a few weeks now and it significantly reduced my screen time. I can highly recommend doing the same if you want to cut back on social media. blog.alexbeals.com/posts/make-y...

This one was a rave/talk combination with heavy emphasis on the RAVE part 🤘

elixirforum.com/t/localize-n... This is wonderful news, better, faster, stronger. TLDR ex_cldr will become localize and avoid long compilation #ElixirLang

Which Europe-based Domain Registrar do you have good experiences with? I'm looking into European alternatives to all the US-based services I'm using. Already signed up for the @proton.me business suite to replace Dropbox and 1Password. Will also move my Fastmail email there.

Built Mesh — a capability-based virtual process system for Elixir. Mesh shards processes across the cluster using consistent hashing and routes calls deterministically to the correct node based on declared capabilities. hexdocs.pm/mesh #MyElixirStatus #weBeamTogether

#ElixirLang 1.20.0-rc.0 just dropped. 👀 github.com/elixir-lang/...

If you want to stay up to date on GCE26, head to the website and add your name to the list! www.gigcityelixir.com Target conference time is Fall of 2026. Our usual venue is moving and the new one is under construction. We are looking forward to gathering in the new location! Happy New Year!

If you think “doing” taxes is hard, try implementing them! Especially multi-tiered taxes with thresholds. You’ll have so much fun, you’ll cry!

My book is #1 on Amazon! Proving once again that you can be #1 in anything, as long as you control the denominator. a.co/d/dPiWKRE

I’m sloooowly warming up to this setup: the Minisforum MS-02 Ultra with an Intel Ultra 9 285MHX (24C/24T). It’s waaaaay overpowered for my use-case and twice as much as I wanted to spend BUT - hear me out - it has plenty of room for ✨expansion✨ minisforumpc.eu/products/min...

I'm at Joe's famous "make it beautiful" part for the Programming Nerves Etch A Sketch project 🤩. Pretty cool that you can do all this inside of @livebookdev and @NervesProject. Pick up your copy today at www.programmingnerves.dev #ElixirLang #MyElixirStatus #Erlang

The prices for DDR Ram are just 🤯 This one went from 120€ to 530€ in less than a year! That's almost 4.5x!

So, what's your plan when the US invades Greenland and starts a war with Europe?

Tailwind had to fire 75% of their staff because of AI ☹️ github.com/tailwindlabs...

The Tailwind folks released a new marketing template and the social proof quotes are hilarious :D tailwindcss.com/plus/kits/oa...

Did you know you can get your GitHub profile pic by adding .png to your profile page? It's super handy! github.com/cassidoo.png

Just an idea but I could buy end-of-life server hardware with 28 CPUs and 64GB of RAM (until RAM has sane prices again), plug it into my home internet, and would have 4x more CPU firepower than one 60€/mo Hetzner server. All for 650€. Thats one year of Hetzner renting but I get to keep the hardware.

Finger's crossed for my ElixirConf EU talk proposal! The Call for Proposals ends tonight, so you better hurry up if you want to speak in Malaga in April! #ElixirLang

The best AI agent framework was invented in 1986. It's called Erlang. - Agents => Processes - Orchestration => Supervision - Agent communication => Message passing - Coordination => Pure code Legion connects the dots together - github.com/dimamik/legion #myelixirstatus #Legion #elixirlang

Hey Elixir friends! :) Great news! The Erlang Ecosystem Foundation awarded Hologram a stipend to support key development milestones. Deeply grateful to the EEF 🙏 for supporting the project vision! Read more: hologram.page/blog/hologra... #Hologram #Elixir #ElixirLang #BEAM #WebDev

Damn! StackOverflow is dead dead.

Someone good at finance please help me balance my monthly budget Ramen: $30 Rent: $2000 Claude API: $8730

How bad of an idea is it to buy a 24-core, 64GB RAM, 800GB NVMe rack server and put it in a local data center to replace my various shared-CPU cloud servers that cost 1/6 of the rack server per month?

The upgrade to 1.19 continues and we discover a long-time convenience being snatched away in favour of more explicit syntax as Elixir adopts gradual set-theoretic types. zarar.dev/struct-updat... #elixir #elixirlang #typesystems

After going through the very painful - but very interesting - process of setting up a self-hosted version of TimescaleDB, all I can say is: Be grateful for having managed database services ❤️ However, now I have another blog post to write! So, Yey :D

Happy new year fellow BEAMers! 🎉

The first music streaming app that lets me click a big checkbox saying “NO FUCKING BALLADS” on my high-power rock running radio will win my everlasting loyalty. I’m sick and tired having to skip every 2nd song during a high-intensity workout because it’s a fucking ballad

Great article about building double-entry bookkeeping in #ElixirLang by @zarar.dev 🙏 zarar.dev/building-a-d...

Portugal is so freakin beautiful caralho ❤️

What day is it?

@gworkman.bsky.social I thought you’d appreciate this bad boy. Look at that refresh rate! Mind blowing.

Credo 1.7.15 is out now, with massive perf improvements for large #ElixirLang codebases.

I'm using Typst now to generate PNG to be used as og images thanks to @peterullrich.com 's ogi library github.com/PJUllrich/ogi

Arrived safely in Portugal for the holidays. First task: fix the pellet heater (I’m not too happy we have one but it came with the house). After 2h of “debugging” it turned out the water pump was stuck and needed a little push. Now, it’s heating nicely. I love fixing physical things!

Uuuh, this is brutal. Bluesky went from 2.5m daily users to 1.5m this year. That’s the opposite of what a new social media platform should look like :(

If your product is customer-facing, all your most common use-cases should be self-service like this. If not, you’re burning money for nothing.
