If all you want for Christmas is Elixir in Action 3rd edition, now's your chance! Everything is half off at Manning on December 24 & 25. www.manning.com/books/elixir...

Such an unusual and fun talk! I'm so happy I got to see it live ❤️

to my autistic friends - be kind to yourselves during the holidays, it’s a tough period. we’re often expected to do things like get presents or hang out and often we don’t have the spoons. i know i certainly don’t #asd #autism

In case you missed it Roojliek, my classic ASCII roguelike, is now available for the Sega #MasterSystem Download now from jimblimey.itch.io/roojliek

ive no idea if this is generalisable. but im on the left and i don’t even like most figures on the left. why? because what’s the right thing to do isn’t always clear and we disagree. people say this is the weakness of the left- but what? it seems like the most natural thing. we aren’t a hive mind.

its the people who stand to gain the most that post stuff about how AI is the future and you're a scrub for not using it to wipe your butt. still, good chance you're a scrub but not because you're not using AI.

i was loving using #joplin. i set up webdav via nextcloud and my phone app and desktop were sync'ing great. then i get a "could not fetch" error for a .md file which causes it to abort sync. ok. so now what. why can't shit just work?

for 2026 ive decided i need a more gay profile photo

The CFP season is open. I've submitted to ElixirConf EU already. I have the one for Code BEAM Stockholm in my inbox. What would people like to hear. I can always come up with something but I'm curious if there are parts of things that I do that are more interesting to people. #elixirlang

if you watch just one video from #goatmire, watch this one.

whilst i #meditate for 10 minutes each day, my brain is doing its best to derail me, it gives me the "i bet you forgot about this important thing!" hoping that’ll get me to stop. so i write it down and move on. afterwards, i not only meditated, but i also have a great urgent todo list for my day ❤️

i call do-over on the web. the fact that it’s nearly impossible to create a web browser from scratch is a sign we’ve taken a wrong turn somewhere.

BREAKING: At least 16 files from the Epstein release disappeared from DOJ's webpage, including a photo of Trump, with no explanation.

i secretly hate people who know a bunch of esolangs. why? pure jealousy. here i am struggling with basic and they are coding shit up in hard mode and not breaking a sweat. just go to hell, or be my best friend ❤️

fun fact about me, i crashed a small plane and survived. it wasn't major but still.

Johan has been a part of Elixir in Sweden for years. I was thrilled he was willing to stretch his comfort zone and get on stage at Goatmire. Lagom. goatmire.bold.video/v/e6g8w #goatmire #elixirlang

You may have read that Frédéric Péchier was sentenced to life in prison for killing his patients. Dude was involved in 70 serious adverse events, they figured this out AFTER starting to investigate him. Here's my problem, why did it take a colleague to report him?

this really really surprised me. there are times when i don't drive for a year and get back on the road -- i don't freak out. im a bit baffled. it also scares me to think how AI is doing the same thing for coding.

guys, get yourself flu vaccinated. i sat on it a little too long and got the flu, this season really sucked. luckily im on the mends but there was some serious whining going on lol

we had a last minute informal elixir/erlang/gleam languages meetup in paris last night. started at 7:30pm and before we knew it, it was 11pm! i’m grateful for my new BEAM friends! thanks for showing up so last minute right before the holidays and sharing your passion with me! see you all again soon!

Goatmire was graced with a whole delegation of Japanese community members. All speaking. Takase Hideki and Kikuchi Yutaka shared their work on Giocci, Zenoh and resource-permeating computing for wide-area distributed systems. goatmire.bold.video/v/9wjke #goatmire #elixirlang

elixir & beam languages meetup tonight in paris. feel free to come by, its a super informal hang out in a bar. 19h30 rhinoceros bar (35 Rue de Lourmel). i'll be wearing my elixir shirt (thanks @[email protected] !) #elixirlang

i really struggle to get my day started until i have my first coffee. even if i take my adhd meds, its really only after i get my coffee that i can do things. it’s 1pm here now and finally i have my coffee and im out of bed. makes me think two things-

James is most seen in the Ash space but he has plenty of embedded experience and he tried turning his Reactor saga runner to the Nerves boot process. Learn how Reacto works and what it could be used for entirely separate from Ash. goatmire.bold.video/v/8wype #goatmire #elixirlang

it’s kinda crazy that cotton socks have withstood the test of time. during the cold season, socks are basically reducing thermal conductivity to the cold floor. wool works better but not as comfy. how come we don’t have a better soft and comfy sock thermal insulator material or am i just blanking?

where did we go wrong with the web? is it the standards , was it tracking , or is it just too much capitalism? maybe we need to go back to BBSs, one interesting thing about them was they generally had limited number of connections, so there couldn’t be an Amazon.

I finally figured out what LinkedIn is, basically if a Discord server’s #self-pomotion channel were turned into an app, except it’s a shitty server you don’t want to be in but work makes you do it.

so Crucial will no longer sell consumer RAM and SSDs because there's more money to be made from AI related companies? this makes me angry and sad for some reason. reminds me of the quote from glengarry glen rosss: you're here to HELP US, not FUCK US UP! arstechnica.com/gadgets/2025...

We gave out a custom eInk + WiFi device to each attendee of Goatmire Elixir. It ran Nerves of course. It was developed, from electronics to software by the fullest stack developer I know: Gus Workman. In this talk he shares how he does hardware. video.goatmire.com/v/qwr9e #elixirlang #goatmire

Modems. We will never stop dealing with modems. This is one of the major headaches of IoT devices. Robust connectivity and the nuances of mobile networking. Taun has some ideas for improvements. video.goatmire.com/v/nw7xe #elixirlang #goatmire

anyone else realise they didn’t drink nearly enough water just as they’re going to bed and proceeds to drink the daily allotment without breathing to only have to go pee just as you find the sleep that’s been evading you for hours? honestly i’m done with myself. this is like every night #adhd

With temperatures dropping and snow in the forecast, New Yorkers struggling to afford the rising cost of heat can now apply for assistance from the HEAP program. Learn more about eligibility and apply here: a069-access.nyc.gov/accesshra/

Concert went great! I really enjoyed it! Here's a shot of me pre-show and one of our pieces. We sang this one together with Mélo'Men - it was super fun. It's from the anime Space Battleship Yamato, ready for takeoff! #choir YouTube: youtu.be/S69PUNfjrdw PeerTube: video.mycrowd.ca/w/8XzpUjgWJG...

ElixirConf EU in Malaga. Anyone know the Elixir community there? I like to connect locally and maybe we can do some of those nice satellite events. But that hinges on some local company, hackerspace or similar being game to host. Feel free to reach out, I'm everywhere. #elixirlang

it’s super weird how so many of the people i know on bluesky also know of each other. its like we’re eating at the same lunch table in high school.

Creator of Nerves, Frank Hunleth, sounds the (Erlang) alarms and goes through his work at SmartRent on creating resilient and robust devices. Way beyond simple restarts. If you haven't seen the alarmist library, maybe now is the time for you. video.goatmire.com/v/rwd3e #elixirlang #goatmire

we should move to 6 day weeks. easier for meds and meetings that happen twice a week and more weekend time. having and odd and prime number for the week length is just bad planning. i propose we drop monday, nobody likes mondays. just skip it.

What a fun conference. It's funny how so many participants all said the same thing. I'm glad to have been a small part of it. I can't watch myself, but y'all tell me if I did ok or not lol Thanks @lawik.bsky.social ! YouTube link also: youtu.be/y5WlNELKLaU?...

are you sometimes not you when you dream? last night i was some 35 year old american italian man on a large ship. i was with my several brothers and we’d joke about how weak the other is. the waters became dark and menacing, some of it splashed into the lavishly decorated common room we were at.

when learning a new piece for choir, you go from sucking to "can fake it". like if you had to perform now, people might think you actually did fine. and for slackers, this is the 80/20 #choir

i love being with my partner - but by god, two women getting dressed up for an event can be stressful af. it’s like the only time we bicker.

going to be singing today if anyone is in paris :) unfortunately it’s not free but the holiday concert will be

when you leave a place, like a your place for a vacation or trip, do you touch the walls and thank your place for having you? i also try to make a mental snapshot, it’s probably the last time ill see it, good and bad memories.

SF what’s going on? I thought I’d do some shopping downtown SF and it’s a ghost town. It’s midday Saturday. Is the rest of the US like this? So many vacancies. Also sad to see children’s toys behind glass. Made me sad.

during lunch at the office yesterday (bay area), we had food brought it, i was the only one who didn’t take their food to their desk and continue working. y’all, it’s ok to take time and enjoy your food. also striking how this would be pretty rare and almost unacceptable in france. #slowdown

i can’t tell if i’ve lower my expectations a ton or if there’s actually not terrible croissants in the US. i’m guessing a little bit of both. admittedly, the size is all wrong. looks like it’s suffering from gas.

it’s sad when the CDC is just a bunch of politicians. they updated their #vaccines page to promote the possible link to #autism. think about how many unnecessary deaths this will lead to. www.cdc.gov/vaccine-safe... to be clear, studies have been done- they just want to scare people #asd

My trailblazing game industry bad-ass friend Rebecca Heineman has passed away. Fuck cancer. Friends, let’s not forget her: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebecca...

i was in the middle seat during a 6+ hour flight. i was really bummed when i saw my seating assignment. once i arrived, i noticed there were two women on either side. it was one of the best fights ive had-neither took up the arm rest and were really nice ❤️ i also learned about aprés gel x nails too!
