Watching Alien for the first time. 1 question. Why is there a cat in space?

Its funny that this is maybe the most insane scandal in American political history: full of sex, money and murder and the reaction all us dorks have is like "wait, ffmpeg stands for something?!" bsky.app/profile/swol...

Hello #ElixirLang Does anyone look for highly skilled Elixir developer based in Europe for remote work or consulting services? I am open to opportunities.

Interesting take. I always found these DSLs to be much more hassle than theyre worth, but having an auto-generated spec is also useful. www.curiosum.com/blog/openapi...

I made a map of 3.4 million Bluesky users - see if you can find yourself! bluesky-map.theo.io I've seen some similar projects, but IMO this seems to better capture some of the fine-grained detail

I raised a point recently that AI-generated code in critical parts of the app should be carefully checked. The answer was "AI will be able to audit code for us so that's a non-issue." I don't know, man.

Do agents working on Elixir leverage the REPL and code reloading? Or do they compile and run like other languages?

This guide is absolute gold from @mitchellh.com (creator of Terraform) on how he started to use AI agents, step-by-step. It's practical, step by step & how he changed how he works (without getting overloaded or anxious.) mitchellh.com/writing/my-a...

Good thread. Also, one of the most brilliant tech things I've seen in a while is www.jmail.world

OpenClaw (which was Moltbot, which was ClawdBot, all in the course of a week) is the new `sudo curl | bash`

So, anyone going to #fosdem? Love to chat with some #elixirlang people!

A hackathon for vibecoders

I was using Nova launcher for a year. They asked to buy premium or get ads. Bought premium, still got ads. What ass people are this. Hopefully the Google refund goes through.

I'm coming to this realization, too. I relate it to my grandfather (a carpenter) and built things until he died. My dad works with steel and also finds joy in building things. They did it because they could, and got joy from it. I often wonder if I'll keep the same passion through life.

I think there should be a law stating that any sufficiently complex micro service architecture that needs synchronization will be a poor implementation of Erlang. #elixirlang #erlang

I'm considering dumping Gmail for Proton, but I think not having social logins anymore is going to be annoying. Anyone else have gone through this before?

Hey #ElixirLang & #Ruby fam, I got laid off this last Friday and am looking for the next adventure! If anyone has any opportunities, feel free to reach out!

An official VSCode extension for Expert LS has been released. You can be a 30th person to download it. marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemNa... #elixir

I'm still putting my new database server through its paces. In the meantime production be like

This is going in the arsenal.

Scheme, the ur programming language, is 50 years old, as Jason Hemann just reminded me.

I like Ansible, but I dislike working on it in an editor. main.yml main.yml main.yml main.yml main.yml main.yml main.yml main.yml main.yml main.yml main.yml

It had been 7 months or so since my last workout. 5 star rating for last night's sleep.

I was discussing EU ID cards with somebody online. Why can't we have a public repo of all EU citizens their public cert so we can verify any signature they made with their ID card?

Interesting phone call. The airport police detained 2 people who had a copy of my id card and drivers license and a list of my crypto exchange accounts. The only place I ever sent a copy of my driver's license was Binance to verify my account a few weeks back..

It's hard to justify Tahoe icons https://tonsky.me/blog/tahoe-icons/ (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46497712)

I'm in a hotel room and I noticed two funny looking usb sticks in the back of the tv. Somebody forgot his expense Excell sheets and their porn collection.

Everyone has a stash like this, right?

I accidentally removed the wrong disk from my Synology and plugged it right back in. This is going to take a while.

My win condition is a cabin in the woods by a river, with no neighbors for miles, some goats, chickens, and a shitload of dogs. (And good internet, water and electricity).

Not the greatest fan of Rob Pike, but a bit more today 😍

Soms big news in pg18 I was not aware of. pganalyze.com/blog/postgre...

I'm in the middle of going from GCP to Hetzner for a small app with a few thousand queries per second. Ill go from 360 to 34 euro/m. There are difficulties though. You need to properly get roles, users, the wal, plan for storage, backups, network and so on. pierce.dev/notes/go-ahe...

Almost the entirety of Spotify takes up a measley 300tb. Cool :)

Due to a windstorm-related utility power outage at the NIST, time may soon be destroyed

I'm a Dutch speaking person and I left a "kapot" debug message in the codebase. "Kapot" is "broken" in Dutch. Now the whole company is using "kapot" whenever they get a chance.

Why are Github Actions so crappy. Stop touching things, Microsoft.

I spent a bit of time properly setting up a postgres cluster with replication. I admit I see the appeal of cloud services in this regard now. But at least I understand it all a bit better.

Tis the season

So the official instructions to download your autodesk design files for non-paying users is "go scavenge for cache files in the appdata folder". Nice.

I've had a wishlist for a new homelab server I was waiting to buy. Now RAM prices doubled the whole price. Lessons learned: impulse buying is cheaper! 😂

I finally found an obvious application for ontologies: prometheus metrics! WE NEED THIS.

Nice! The Elixir survey for 2025 got >1000 respondents. Not too shabby! elixir-hub.com/surveys/2025 #elixirlang

We should all aspire to this level of joy :D
