A little #goatmire update. I have the sweetest program committee. @ellyxir.com @la-nita.bsky.social and @peterullrich.com I look forward to reviewing talks with this good bunch. CFT is in the works. #elixirlang

for iphone users , i removed apps from siri suggestions noticing i go to endless scroll apps when im bored. hopefully will reduce how much time i waste. instead of that ill do chess puzzles while i am bored waiting. it’s been working well. except for when i eat alone, i like to watch a video.

instant coffee is like the emergency rations of energy drinks. it’ll keep you alive but there’s no joy in it. this is also what i drink at home 😭

keys in purses are like viruses. hear me out. you know how viruses aren’t really alive but they sure act like it? so keys in my purse, istg they run from my fingers whenever i try to get them. i feel them one on side , go in for the kill and they run to the other side. how?? jerks.

this would be hilarious if it weren’t tragic. tldr this scientist is blatantly a chaser. he loves trans women bc they are hot. but only if they have a penis, because he wants to suck dick. but not into trans guys because he’s hetero and they don’t have penis. my brain hurt so much from this.

Hey all, I'll be speaking at ElixirConf EU in Malaga, Spain! I'm excited for this one, it's pretty ambitious, bringing together my experience with MMORPG servers and distributed systems with Elixir. Thanks @elixirconf.bsky.social ! More info here: www.elixirconf.eu/talks/elixir... #elixirlang

Hi all, next Paris Elixir/BEAM chat over drinks get-together on Feb 5th, 7:30pm @ Pucks (ministryofpucks.com). It'll be chill and multilingual. In the future I hope we can have more topic specific meetings with light presentations, hopefully in the coming months!

AND this is why we memory wipe droids, Luke!! *points furiously at r2 astromech* techxplore.com/news/2026-01...

I am speaking at ElixirConf EU. The talk is about an everything bagel of an app that has a truly ridiculous number of things in it. A production system that runs on Nerves and truly embodies what an Elixir monolith can be. Let me illustrate. #elixirlang

we're doing another elixir/beam café get-together in paris for feb 5th at 7:30pm. it'll be chill and multilingual. still finding a place for it, let me know if you know of a good place! for now, hold the date! if you reply here, i'll be sure to ping you when we have more information! #myelixirstatus

I announced Goatmire Elixir 2026 yesterday. In case you missed it. The website is fancy and bare. I figured I'd share some of my preliminary plans that I am willing to share so I wrote a blog post: underjord.io/goatmire-2-a... #goatmire #elixirlang

i got to sneak some elixir liveview into the talk itself 🤭 also some ascii art and retrocomputing vibes. let me know what you think !

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

im at an airport waiting to board and ive been getting alerts about a storm coming here. i’ve ignored them but just now my bank sent me a notification to be careful. like i have questions but i feel like when your bank starts to send you safety notifications, its time to start listening. #paris

Is there anywhere in London I can go to try out a @frame.work 13 laptop? I'm gently looking for a new portable Linux workstation. I love the concept of the Framework, but I wanna see how it feels hold and to type on.

the people who tell you that you must have children are often the worst parents. the people who constantly quote the bible are often the most sinful. if you’re constantly telling people what to do, you’re probably sucking at your own standards.

more #haskell progress, we finished chapter 1. here's some more lambda calculus exercises. i think next chapter, we get to use the computer! yay! although im kind of digging the paper and pencil thing. YouTube: www.youtube.com/live/4BMefgF... PeerTube: video.mycrowd.ca/w/iLWMcd3yz4...

im congested most of the time even tho im on antihistamines. nose is often partly congested. is this just normal human life? are some of you walking around with clear nasal passages all day long ? non ironic question, wondering if i should bring this up with my allergist

hey y'all, progressing on learning #haskell, another beta reduction exercise video. why is it so fun doing these exercises? YouTube: youtu.be/p2K8KgH4CV4?... PeerTube: video.mycrowd.ca/w/c3jKMVwAPV...

i was out on a roadtrip and saw a woman with a christmas sweater at a service station. i told her that it was cute and she tells me *in detail* where she got it and how to find the store. i tell my gf and she says its a millennial thing to say where to buy things. genz don't care. is she right?

i was never into the year in review thing that many apps and services do. i usually feel a lot of cringe. like photos, songs - dude i know i make weird faces and i listen to the same songs a million times , i don’t need to be reminded.

happy new year and may the odds always be closing! goals: - stop being depressed - make a blog - do some conference talks - learn me some haskell (not like lazy eval mode) - bonus: make some money so i dont have to live in someone's basement (but honestly they'd probably cook for me, so.. tbd)

I've waited 3 years to make this post

ive heard for a long time that dual n-back exercises can improve working memory and just ran across this study that seems to point to it being particularly effective for people with adhd. i do them on and off (you can find free apps for it) but one thing i notice...

The CEO of Telegram Pavel Durov seems to be a troll and dick. He boasts about all the sperm he donated and made a tweet making fun of French President Macron being gay. So, toxic masculinity and homophobic. Please don’t use #Telegram

i have no words. some of my friends voted for trump. they said the trans thing wasn’t what he was about. they said citizens would be safe from ice. i don’t know if they still support him or if they lied to me, to themselves, or maybe they moved the goalposts. right now, i don’t care.

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
