I'm deep into parsing lately and looking for ways to improve tracing of the parser because it can get to a point where it's hard to track what it's doing This paper seems interesting in that regard: Visualizing Visual Parser Executions by Gennaro Costagliola, Mattia De Rosa

More people should use jj, git feels so primitive and wrong after being spoiled by jj I've run into situations where I start to pile up commits, then realize I should split into multiple PRs and with jj it's rather easy, but in git it's an absolute nightmare unless you use 3rd party tools

I see I see the issue now I now have the full context I now understand the full picture This is a key insight This is very interesting behavior The key observation is

I spent an ungodly amount of time when working on Sourceror figuring out overlapping edits for code mods and reading the LSP spec I see Microsoft just gives up: Text edits ranges must never overlap, that means no part of the original document must be manipulated by more than one edit.

I hope once I finish this damn kitchen renovation I've been working on for months now I will be more compelled to cook some healthier stuff. Until now I have never lived in a place with the tools nor the space to cook something decent, it's depressing to make space every time you have to cook.

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

There is no connector for my electrical conduit and the light fixture, all the commercially available options look horrible. Then I remembered I have free will and a 3d printer. The connector is printing right now.

Adding features is so easy compared to making the system properly stable, in particular when it must run in any environment

I have access to most premium models via Copilot because I do OSS so I'm trying to make use of it, but I can't get it to not piss me off. I don't know what I'm missing, no matter how detailed the prompt it always produces crap and I end up doing things myself

I was cleaning the bathroom drain because it overflowed every time I took a shower. The culprit? A .32 revolver round stuck in the drain. What the fuck.

This commit is my spirit animal github.com/elixir-lang/...

I don't know if it is the models I used or the client I used but I didn't get anything productive out of a long debugging session and ended up doing most of it myself anyways. It constantly tries to cut corners and refuses to follow instructions.

Every single time I try some AI agent I get stupid stuff like this: Let's see the overall status: `mix test --max-failures 10` Great progress! We went from 164 failures to just 10 failures

There's no ethical computer usage under Windows

A chemical plant exploded near my town. Google maps reports the incident and suggests routes to avoid it. Apple maps doesn’t even report it.

Did you know if you use `--erl "-epmd_module Some.Module"` and `--sname` or `--name` when launching elixir in a mix project the VM will spectacularly crash with no obvious reason why?

Not enjoying that most of the things I've been debugging lately get fixed with a random `dbg()` somewhere Or due to shells being shells

Something about being recorded by a summary app in a meeting feels slightly insulting to me. I understand why it’s done, but it feels like you have less incentive to pay attention while it’s happening and that a message would be just as effective.

EPMD is an interesting animal

I got a new spare monitor because I though my main one died(it was only the power brick) and good lord using a fullhd monitor after using a 2k monitor for so many years is such an eye sore

Now that I own my house I can finally set up my instruments how I want them It needs a paint job tho

Neovim is my main editor but I have to commend Helix for making it so straightforward to add arbitrary executables as an LSP

Our GitHub repository is now public! github.com/elixir-lang/...

Expert LS is out yall. #ElixirLang github.com/elixir-lang/...

Best “one more thing” from a presentation ever, complements of @josevalim.bsky.social. So psyched to try it out.

Hi Bsky hivemind, is anyone looking for seasoned #ElixirLang developer? EMEA-based, fully remote. Either consulting or full-time.

It's a bit annoying that when I have nothing to do nobody needs anything, but when I have responsibilities suddenly everybody needs help or there's family issues

Scammers used to care

Protip: relying on internal, undocumented behavior is fine if you gate that logic behind a version check. Sometimes you have to retroactively implement a feature that is only possible after version X and requires poking under the hood for versions <X, then this is fine.

I got one of those fancy toilets that heat the seat, clean themselves and whatnot and now I need to learn how to install it because I can't find a plumber. I've never been this excited about taking a shit.

Here I sit broken hearted, wrote a prompt and the program crashed.

If HackerNews was erased from existence absolutely nothing of value would have been lost.

LinkedIn will ask you a thousand questions about what you do etc etc and recruiters will still spam you with positions that have nothing to do with your history or qualifications. No, I don't know nor care about Unreal Engine 5 jfc.

Most things I read are in English and it screwed the way I read numbers. I read 1200 as twelve hundreds but if the text is in spanish I now brefly think “docecientos” before reading it again in the correct and honestly reasonable way.

In an unexpected twist of fate, Snarky Puppy is coming to Buenos Aires and of course I'm gonna see them live

Is there a self hosted(and OSS is possible) storage software that I could use to replace iCloud and Google Drive? I'm considering building muy own storage server rack, and Headscale + <something> sounds like it could work

Currently considering getting a mac mini or paying for my house

I'm so used to LSP features not working that when developing the LSP itself I forget there's things I can now use and I end up doing things manually. I think it's a bit funny.

This pisses me off a bit, when I was working on Embers I spent a lot of time making sure the profile pic and the banner would always perfectly align in the very same way no matter the context, but Discord doesn't bother to do it. Part of the appeal of banners is funny compositions.

Is there any elixir github organization that would be interested in ownership of Sourceror? I'm still actively maintaining it, but I feel it became an important library for many projects and a more permanent home than my personal github/hex accounts can be beneficial #ElixirLang

Testing release workflows is a pain in the ass, I have to push a commit to main, create a draft release, watch the release workflow run for 10 minutes, check the error log, change the release.yml, and do it all over again. There doesn't seem to be a better way and nektos/act isn't working for me

I accidentally typed git push --force-with-leash

"might not be as critical considering a lot of apps exhibit the same behavior" ok

It pisses me off a bit that the google nest brick uses a dc connector instead of usb c. I yearn for the day I can use a single cable type for all my devices but it will never come.

My 3d printer noise is constantly triggering Siri on my laptop and I don't know which to blame

It still trips me up that a billion in english is 3 orders of magnitude less than a billion in spanish

Past me didn't configure git's rerere and present me is suffering the consequences

Found some of my grandmother's old photo albums and looking at them it became my goal that whoever survives me and finds my photos won't hate me nearly as much as I hated those people.

I will be moving soon and one of the things I’ll have to remodel is the bathroom. It frustrates me the little variety of toilets in this country.

My laptop freezing while controlling a 5 hour cnc milling operation at 40 minutes remaining because life is too easy orherwise. I’m not sure software engineers realize how inexpensive their mistakes and iteration are while developing compared to manufacturing.
