Having met with both sides on the current RubyCentral/RubyGems situation, here's my take: - RubyCentral have managed this exceptionally poorly in many ways including removing literally the most active member of the RubyGems organisation by mistake who has declined to return

For those of you doing Python & using "uv" (efficient package manager released in 2024), you can list "outdated" packages & their new versions with this:

While working on a complex web app for a client using Phoenix LiveView, we had to deal with many LiveComponents that interacted with each other, and keeping track of all these moving parts was tough. So, we came up with a solution. Meet LiveDebugger 🌳 blog.swmansion.com/introduction...

wasmex: Execute WebAssembly from #ElixirLang github.com/tessi/wasmex (hat-tip @tessi)

Every once in a while I bump into some good old RegEx #databs

By default, when writing doctests in #ElixirLang, you have to specify the full module in front of the tested method. There is an option, though, to remove that need! hexdocs.pm/ex_unit/ExUn...

#ElixirLang "low-level" bit handling (pattern matching & manipulation) is a feature I quite enjoy. Here's an example by @tylerbarker.com showing how the WAVE (sound) format specification maps beautifully into Elixir code able to read that format. Love it! bsky.app/profile/tyle...

Using @elixirlang.bsky.social's @livebook.dev to build an interactive training on the NeTEx file format (EU technical standard for transportation data), very promising use-case so far (here tracing a part of itinerary based on input files)

Loads of parallels to be made between DNA, neurons etc & code "Stanford just found a natural alternative to Ozempic using some clever regex on the human proteome"

I've learned gradually more on the NeTEx format (official norm for transportation data in EU), to the point I'll co-animate a training in Paris, 8th of April. Pretty cool to see how hands-on this is going to be! www.linkedin.com/posts/tuthot... Expect some #ElixirLang Livebook sharing here soon :)

CLI & language versions: I just replaced a relatively complex installation (pyenv, rbenv, asdf for elixir/java/node/erlang) by a single mise.jdx.dev installation. Everything is much faster (including installations, sometimes using binary packages). Very much an upgrade in my case, recommended!

Digital Signal Processing with #ElixirLang Nx (GPU-offloaded) github.com/elixir-nx/nx... - thanks @polvalente.social et al.!

I was looking for ways to connect to serial/USB devices from Elixir & Mac. Turns out that @fhunleth.bsky.social has created a great abstraction that I can build on! github.com/elixir-circu... #ElixirLang

DeepSeek released a whole family of inference-scaling / "reasoning" models today, including distilled variants based on Llama and Qwen Here are my notes on the new models, plus how I ran DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Llama-8B on my Mac using Ollama and LLM simonwillison.net/2025/Jan/20/...

Super nice post about @elixir-lang.org's nimble_ownership library by Alex Martsinovich: distantprovince.by/posts/what-d... Great stuff to know about. Also, great technical writing 👏

Music making has come a long way (cheaper high quality instruments, tons of tutorials). And it is very good for a stronger mental health as well (& pleasure overall). In case of doubt, go for it!

Time has come to "encapsulate" Timex (popular date/time library for Elixir, born out of missing features initially, if I recall well). The Elixir language has mostly caught up on the parts that we need, a gradual migration is doable https://github.com/etalab/transport-site/pull/4385 #MyElixirStatus

If your local dev process (e.g. Elixir Phoenix) doesn't start on port 5000 anymore (eaddrinuse) and you are on a Mac... The answer could be this #MyElixirStatus

"DuckDB now supports reading Avro files through the avro Community Extension" https://duckdb.org/2024/12/09/duckdb-avro-extension.html

"The Qwen family of (AI) models are REALLY impressive. I would encourage anyone who hasn't paid them any attention to at least add them to your mental list of LLMs worth knowing about." quoting @simonw (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42420840) https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/pull/10361

Did you know? Elixir "Credo" linter includes an opt-in ForbiddenModule check, which is very useful to enforce encapsulation of dependencies via a central point, for instance https://hexdocs.pm/credo/Credo.Check.Warning.ForbiddenModule.html #MyElixirStatus - here is an actual example.

On the importance of running `VACUUM FULL ANALYZE table_name` from times to times (but careful, this is a "locking" operation). Here we do it on 2 tables with a large activity (jobs & metrics), and shave 1.2 GB from the disk https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/sql-vacuum.html

Coincidence? I think not! #MyElixirStatus
