Don’t mean to brag but @mitchellhenke.com and I got first and second in our age group for the local 5k.

The City of Ottawa posted the raw speed data from before and after Doug Ford banned speed cameras and the effect is so obvious it's not even necessary put a line marking when that happened. This chart shows the percentage of drivers going 15km/h or more over the posted limit.

Oban Pro v1.7's new "Signals", for human-in-the-loop flows, is landing in Oban Web

Welcome to DS4, a specialized inference engine for DeepSeek v4 Flash. github.com/antirez/ds4 This project would have been impossible without the existence of llama.cpp and GGML and the work of Georgi Gerganov and all the other contributors. Thanks!

it is important to always ask yourself "are we... kinda being pricks?"

Thanks to everyone that joined me for my first ever conference talk last Thursday at @elixirconf.bsky.social. It was a lot of fun! Remember to try the #Phoenix #LiveView 1.2.0 release candidate and report any issues. I'm also happy to hear if everything works just fine for you :)

Zed has become my favorite text editor -- the multi agent mgmt, the terminal emulator, the LLM mgmt in general, the FOLLOW MODE, is so good, and also the git tooling is above average. I really am loving it lately. And I was a 20yr vim user.

Nice to see my culture being represented here in Spain. www.milwaukeeburger.com

There is no honor on economy long haul flights.

AirFrance is so french lol. Sell you a ticket with 1hr connection. Everyone tells you its fine, French security/immigration laugh at you. At least I get an airport baguette.

It's Friday night baby

Remember when Trump threatened to wipe out a whole civilization? And then backed out of that and talked about forming a deal with Iran? And then dropped that and went to a UFC fight as negotiations fell apart? And then unveiled a triumphal arch and a photo of himself as Jesus? That was this week.

I was able to wire up Popcorn to run Elixir and PGlite to run Postgres, both in the browser. This means we can have an interactive and safe sandbox for arbitrary code. Which means a really good experience learning Ecto on a website. I'll publish it soon :) #ElixirLang

I think ketchup beans should just replace ketchup as a condiment. We could all use more fiber in our diets.

To all who celebrate

still can't believe daft punk co-creator came out of retirement to do a set with fred and it was filmed/posted to Apple Music.

Just need to get done with this half marathon then my talk in malaga then sit down and really think. (About what race I wanna run next)

I don't remember seeing an image of Earth before that captures the (thin, fragile, tiny layer of) atmosphere so clearly. I mean, look at that.

A Taylor+20 landslide victory is legitimately in play right now.

THE AP CALL IS IN: CHRIS TAYLOR HAS WON THE RACE FOR WISCONSIN SUPREME COURT

took me all of 5minutes to vote and most of that was me dodging middle schoolers on the way to the school gym

real "man I hope TACO kicks in soon" vibes going on here. obviously my preference would be 25th or the articles but

More about that XML thing. cigrainger.com/blog/simdxml/

earnest skeet time: over the past 6 months strength in numbers has been gaining an average of 150 new readers per day. covering politics/public opinion isn't always fun but i feel truly blessed to be able make this a new career. and big things to come. thank you all for making this possible!!

That DuckDB extension I was working on landed in community extensions today! I'm pretty excited about it -- prefiltered ACORN-1 HNSW approx nearest neighbours in #DuckDB. Even pgvector does postfiltering, for example. INSTALL hnsw_acorn FROM community; LOAD hnsw_acorn; github.com/duckdb/commu...

We are still looking for more sponsors for Goatmire Elixir. If your company wants to be on the banners and be part of making the event happen that'd be awesome. Please contact me :) #elixirlang #goatmire

“Get me the data!” This movie appears to have been designed for me in a laboratory. 👏

SAVING MILLIONS ON IT SERVICES AND SOFTWARE CONTRACTORS BY BRINGING IT IN HOUSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jason the IC, "wow it's really great we have all these new tools to write code I'll be so much more productive!" but little did he know that forces beyond his control were conspiring against his calendar.

This guy knows data science and duckdb is incredible.

Shout it from the rooftops. The day I realized that problems were not usually code problems was a big day of growth for me.

Beauty of the American Dream is nobody can really define it but everyone agrees we can do better.

So this video was sequenced, composed and beat matched by codex in Elixir. I picked a CC song and told it the bpm, and where the drop was.

I was worried Project Hailmary wouldn't land cause the book is pretty nerdy/technical/dry but they did well, by glossing over all he super nerdy/technical shit. In hindsight it is obvious that they had too.

#ElixirLang folks using Explorer -- is this of interest? github.com/cigrainger/e... Polars has become a bit of an albatross. It's a very complex project with a ton of churn and it's putting the whole Explorer project at risk. So exploring alternative backends.

today I visited the internet archive and checked out an out of print wood working book to look something up, while listening to a professionally recorded live performance of a band I never heard of (but enjoyed deeply), then I chatted with my friends from around the world and video calls for work

the internet has probably surpassed everyone's wildest imaginations of what it would become during the dotcom bubble

me: I've got 1000 things todo also me: lets add another

imaging showing this video to 2000 Jason listening to Afroman cause it was popular on Napster, www.youtube.com/watch?v=HM8E...

"My philosophy in all of this was: if I don't need it, it won't be built. And I don't need a lot of things." Best philosophy. mariozechner.at/posts/2025-1...
