Here’s your post rock fix for the day: 65daysofstatic just released 32 new tracks from No Man’s Sky 🚀 album.link/s/2yDUAuD1IJ...

Hey #ElixirLang folks - if you were to buy a Nerves “getting started hardware kit”, what sort of sensors/components would you want on there, what sort of projects would you want to do with it?

proposal: make the lifetime single-quote marker in Rust a combining acute accent before: 'arr, 'num, 'obj (boring, americano-centred) after: árr, ñum, öbj (delightful, festive, welcoming)

One more reminder that Slack is a terrible choice for communities, and extorts even nonprofits. Even when it’s one teaching teens to code, for free. Hack Club is moving to Mattermost. They really have no choice. Just a poor taste how Slack demands $50K in a week, no real notice

We're planning to move DC Elixir away from Meetup.com. It turns out there's an open-source Elixir alternative that seems to meet our needs! Help us try it out at mobilizon.us/events/05bd6.... We'll briefly discuss Oct 8.

Here'a a little #elixirlang library prototype for having plain old Elixir structs (POCOs, but POESs). No GenServers, just immutable data structures. Use at your own risk, and check-out the @livebook.dev here: github.com/chgeuer/reac...

I need an Elixir library to have properties on a struct transitively automatically updated, when other properties change. Is there already something (yes, I know, @ash-hq.org has calculated fields). Just wanted some POES (plain old elixir structs) 😐 #elixirlang

Washington, DC-area Elixir friends - Mackenzie and I are restarting in-person meetups. It's been a long time! Our first one is October 8. Please sign up if you can make it. www.meetup.com/dc-elixir/ev...

Let me tell you a little story 😊 You are a normal person, and you have a beautiful dog that you love. One day, you hear about some guy who wants all dogs to be beaten to death.

Someone is trying to pull off a supply chain attack similar to npm’s but on crates.io: github.com/rust-lang/cr...

I'm going to put aside the weird feeling of seeing a saint born after I was, but since we know the guy was big on halo 2 there are now people who in 2004-2005 got fragged by a saint on xbox live

Hey folks, we have a CVE for #AshFramework. `before_transaction` hooks will execute in certain scenarios (bulk action calls) even if the action is forbidden by policies. Please update Ash core to 3.5.39. For more see: github.com/ash-project/... #AshFramework #ElixirLang

If you're you curious about #LeanLang and want to understand the connection between #programming and #proofs, check out this great new video by Ank Yog. The analogy between Chess and true propositions is particularly compelling! www.youtube.com/watch?v=QXQN...

RFK Jr: It's gonna be the biggest infusion of federal dollar into rural healthcare in American history BERNIE SANDERS: Yeah. You know why? Because you're cutting $150b for rural hospitals, you're putting $50b back. That's not an infusion. That's a loss of $100b.

My #ElixirConf 2025 talk, “Cat and Mouse: Challenges in Adversarial Web Scraping” is now online! Here’s everything I know about scraping and avoiding being scraped. youtu.be/8mumTeuiZ6o?... #ElixirLang

I have a 💰 $1,000 USD 💰bounty on the last issue which is preventing jank from using upstream Clang/LLVM. I've outlined the problem in this ticket and I'm calling anyone interested to help us solve this! RT this to help jank. github.com/jank-lang/ja...

This book is *so incredibly good* and teaches about a huge range of programming areas along the road of building a practical tool

This is some of the hardest shit I've seen in my life

Hi Bsky hivemind, is anyone looking for seasoned #ElixirLang developer? EMEA-based, fully remote. Either consulting or full-time.

Didn’t get any photos because I was too busy taking notes. I loved Allison Radal’s keynote on building resilience @elixirconf.bsky.social The part that struck with me is the importance of building community. “We don’t need it every day but we need to build it everyday for when we need it.”

Come find me @elixirconf.bsky.social - I have discount cards for @exmexconf.bsky.social #ElixirLang

fellow authors, it’s our duty to financially ruin the AI industry

It's Minnesota State Fair time! It's time for Minnesotan folk art! Here, for example, is Saturn Devouring His Corn, in the seed art category!

so the thing about all this is: yes, it’s unjust that a pink polo white guy gets ROR in a situation when a black person would have likely been brutalized or worse, WHICH IS WHY PINK POLO WHITE GUYS ARE THE ONES WHO SHOULD RISK THIS STUFF

The UK is about to ban access to Wikipedia, just remember this bill was originally pitched as a means to protect kids from accessing porn.

1. "'Trusting the experts is not a feature of either a science or democracy," Kennedy said." It's literally a vital feature of both science and of representative democracy. I've written a fair bit about trust in expertise as a vital mechanism in the collective epistemology of science.

If you understand what software engineering as a career actually entails (lots of people and organizational problems, understanding legacy code and tradeoffs) you are at a career advantage over those who understand the job as just producing code. Those jobs could be replaced. But that ain’t the job

The funniest part is that his entire driving force for every decision he’s made in the last ten years is to become the most liked, most popular little birthday boy of all time. And it’s literally made him despised around the world.

You have more money than God. But you want incentives to do good, moral things?
