Happy new year fellow BEAMers! 🎉

My #fsharp #FsAdvent post for 2025 is up. It's about applying my functional DDD design principles to an unusual non-business domain, which is my hobby of hand weaving! Anyone else weave? I'd love any comments. fsharpforfunandprofit.com/posts/design... Thanks as always to @sergeytihon.com

One of the best things I’ve seen on YouTube all year.

Republicans can stop this anytime they want… youtube.com/shorts/0mcdj...

This is what happens to software companies who go all-in on coding with LLMs. Coding isn’t the one “good use case” for LLMs but a dozen Y2K crises in the making. And I’m saying this as a software developer who knows more about how LLMs work than most in the field.

Happy Anniversary, Erlang!! cc @theerlef.bsky.social See archive.is/TVnf9

Tonight, we did something everyone counted out. We proved to a nation that states like Tennessee are still worth fighting for. The margin was close, and that can only be attributed to the thousands of volunteers who showed out. This is just the beginning.

AFTYN: “What a time to be alive! A battleground district in Tennessee… everyone loves an underdog story.” It’s Election Day in TN-7, and Rep. @aftynbehn.bsky.social says Tennesseans can send a message that they’re fed up with Trump and a Republican Party that has failed to deliver.

Thankful to all the volunteers who came out this week!!!! We got this y'all :)

Zork I, II, and III are now open source. Microsoft has released the classic Infocom text adventures under the MIT license! opensource.microsoft.com/blog/2025/11...

One third of the country supported the January 6 2021 attempted take over the government & are the same ones who voted him back in. They are traitors in my book.

Early voted! Aftyn Behn is the best US House candidate I’ve ever had as a choice on my ballot. At my polling place they said the turnout has been 4-5 times higher than during the primary. Wow! With this energy TN District 7 is going to flip blue despite the dirty gerrymander of Nashville.

Happy Friday!! Just a reminder that our second Nerves Meetup EU will be next week Wednesday (Nov. 12) at 7pm CET! Joining us is @alvises.bsky.social to talk about running computer vision models on Nerves. Sign up via Luma below :) nervesmeetup.eu/meetup/alvis...

And if you are interested in bioinformatics or learning to program here is an excellent playground to celebrate Rosalind Franklin’s work and her discoveries: rosalind.info/about/

👀 WOW — “Speaker Johnson is stalling Grijalva until Van Epps gets there to cancel out her vote?” TN-7 nominee @aftynbehn.bsky.social tells us Johnson plans for Van Epps to help him cover up the Epstein files. (His weak answer to NC5 is another clue🕵️ )

TALKING TO VOTERS WILL WIN THIS ELECTION Never knocked on a door or called a voter? Now is the time to learn! There are lots of opportunities to plug in EVERY DAY. Let's get out of our echo chambers and talk to people! SIGN UP: www.mobilize.us/afty...

Good fun! I would have enjoyed being there. This quote slide from @baldurbjarnason.com made me laugh out loud in a quiet room.

Take note of all these people turning out for protests in small towns in red states. Remember them the next time you’re inclined to write an area off because “they voted for this.”

Felt good to pitch in today! If you would like to help flip Tennessee's US House District 7 from red to blue (and punish the state GOP for their gerrymandering) start here: www.aftynforcongress.com

BEHN: “Feed kids. Fix roads. And fund hospitals. Instead of handing out corporate tax breaks.” TN-07 Democratic nominee @aftynbehn.bsky.social puts her people-first priorities front and center in a high-energy victory speech

Congratulations!!! On Dec 2, you are going to flip that seat blue. A deep thank you for getting out there and doing the work. How can we all help? Tell us what you need. 🎉 🙌 🎉🥳 🎉

TODAY IS ELECTION DAY!!!!!!!!!!!! VOTE FOR AFTYN BEHN!!!! 1. Check your polling place and time by clicking the link below: web.go-vote-tn.elect... 2. Grab your government-issued ID! 3. Head to polls! They close at 7 PM CT! Let's send our girl to Congress! #VoteForAftyn

The President of the United States is lying and/or delusional, and it seems like we should be talking about this and nothing else.

My neighborhood today.

Nashvillians, if you're in U.S. House District 7, your single best next move to hold the line against Fascism is to vote for Aftyn Behn in the primary election on Tue, Oct 7. Sample ballot: www.nashville.gov/sites/defaul... Check if you're in District 7 here: maps.nashville.gov/pollingplace...)

According to eyewitnesses, armed ICE agents dragged kids out of their beds in the middle of the night, zip tied them and put them in rented vans while raiding an * entire apartment building* on the South Side of Chicago. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOXO...

We just early voted for @aftynbehn.bsky.social in the primary. If you’re in Tennessee’s 7th congressional district *please* get out there and vote. This seat is going to flip blue next fall, and now is your chance to pick the candidate you believe will fight like hell once in DC.

If you live in TN's Congressional District 7 and are pissed about your taxes funding the shiny new Titan's stadium (aka the biggest public dollar giveaway to the NFL ever), you need to read this. Then go vote for @aftynbehn.bsky.social, the candidate who wants to get dark money out of politics. 🦞

ELECTION IS HAPPENING NOW!!!! We’ve got two weeks to get out the vote for Aftyn! Can you spend a few hours talking to voters? Text your friends in CD7 reminding them to vote for Aftyn? This race may come down to ONE VOTE! 🗳️

Go fash, lose cash

If you were moved (or shaken) by Jon Stewart’s interview with @mariaressa.bsky.social on the Daily Show please read her powerful book “How to Stand Up to a Dictator”. If you prefer audio books, I suggest you switch to Libro.fm and avoid Bezos/Amazon/Audible. libro.fm/audiobooks/9...

Here's what canceling Disney+ looks like.

I stand with PBS. I stand with NPR. I stand with Stephen Colbert. I stand with Jimmy Kimmel. I stand with the First Amendment. PERIOD.* *Also #ReleaseTheEPSTEIN_Files

David Letterman is right: you can't appease a tyrant.

Wrapped up my conference season for this year with #goatmire Elixir. Had too much fun telling a story one last time, and had even more fun watching some of the most unusual and memorable talks I've ever seen. Photo credits: @petterbos.bsky.social

Always love seeing @gigcityelixir.bsky.social Tshirts in the wild! #elixirlang #goatmire

On my way to #goatmire DUS-CPH… Looking to meet many Elixir and Erlang folks

Wow… cnascorecard.org/cna/cna-deta...

As Carl Schmitt explained in his fascist handbook, a crisis must be created where none exists in order to collapse democratic institutions and hasten the transition towards totalitarian dictatorship

Beautiful!

If you’ve wondered how you could help pull America out of fascism learning about Stetson Kennedy might give you ideas: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stetson...

This is super cool! Nice work!
