Most Elixir projects have very few dependencies because the Elixir and Erlang stdlibs are very batteries included. You don't typically reach for a dependency unless you need most of its features. Often you will reimplement the parts yo

I'm unclear what subset of users are desktop only Zoom users that aren't also familiar with the same "Do you want to allow this app to access your camera/microphone?" dialogs on mobile devices. This can't be a

There is a `mix dialyzer.explain no_return` and such, which gives you at least an intuition about what the errors are looking for. Re: my library, the Erlang error messages are just wholly inappropriate so it lexes, parses and pretty prints

Came from Java. Was an adherent to static typing everything. Dialyzer via Dialyxir is imperfect but helps you bridge the gap, especially with the error message improvements available via my Erlex library. You can turn on an optional Credo r

Not saying it wasn't useful for you, but I've literally never once used my SD Card reader. Having the option for putting it in would be nice for customers like you, but I'm happy it's not there for my laptop.

Have you ever tripped over a cable with the Magsafe connector while attached to your laptop? It comes off, like it's supposed to. What about the USB-C connectors? The laptop comes off the desk.

Unsure about how it would work on a very large sum, or in Canada, but I had a wallet stolen several years ago and had to sign an affidavit describing what happened. Someone had gone to Best Buy and spent like $400, and the bank returned it

That still requires work on the behalf of the person whose identity was stolen. Affidavits signed, letters mailed, etc. Also vigilant monitoring of your credit details afterwards. Even if you are not monetarily charged, it's still a gi

Instead they can steal your identity and open accounts in your name. Banks can automate the changing of passwords and PINs by requiring the former information to change the latter. But once it's out there, it's gone forever.

Not sufficient, and not for Erlang, but Dialyxir has a `mix dialyzer.explain` command, which gives an example of code that might cause a certain error. Some errors I have been unable to reproduce and I welcome examples of code that would pr

My worry is that this trick will go away soon. I really dislike the default Reddit UI.

To be clear, you mean home brew as in beer, not the package manager, correct?

RIP Joe indeed. He will be sorely missed as a pillar of the BEAM community. Not to diverge too far, but does anyone know who the first black bar was?

I look at 404s (and other errors) in prod. Helps find front end bugs and any malicious requests. A 404 should be exceedingly rare in a mature application (depending on the application of course and users' ability to create AND delete

You can register different trigger words, or at least you used to be able to. I had my phone wired to OK Google and the Home wired to Hey Google. Wasn’t an issue once I made the distinction. I no longer have an Android so I can’t comment on

Not the same thing but I’ve read that Square pays people for coming to their on site interview because it’s a full day. Unsure if that is still the case.

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding the security model behind this, but why should the site be storing my password's length at all? Why does it know I have a 10th character at all? The site should just have a hash of my password (normali

They're commending you because your English is terrific =) Learning a language is tough work, but if you didn't say anything I would have had no idea.

Interesting! Seems like Firefox is the one at fault here. Opening in Safari showed a reader mode option.

Shame this fully text site doesn’t support reader mode on mobile. Is there some bookmarklet or something that people like to allow it on sites that otherwise do not support it?

I wonder if this threat vector will change as more countries become space bound. Curious to see the JPL Security Coding Guidelines, whenever that is written.

In the "possibly unknown Postgres tools" category, I'm also a huge fan of PG Hero [0]. Gives you a nice sortable UI to look at running queries, see what the longest ones are, the most frequently called, etc. This is all just

Yeah I could have omitted that line, but I do still think there's truth in it. If it weren't from a large company writing a ton of tooling in it (Kubernetes in particular), I think adoption would be significantly lower. It would b

I fundamentally disagree with your premise, despite seeing how you came to that conclusion. Elixir/Erlang are particularly optimized for the operations you're speaking about, but Elixir is very Lisp-ey under the hood. Macros are a

This does not persist for me. I will mute, then unplug, and audio begins playing. I have to either explicitly pause audio or have muted before plugging in the headphones.
