First skim of the title "what are they tracking now? Wow, very clear language on the tracking part of the business for googleblog.com link. Oh.. Hand tracking" But this is very neat.

Oh. This is a thing I've never felt. If python had better facilities for running other commands, that'd be an option for me. But I think bash has a very interesting set of conveniences and trade-offs. If built from first principle

Very interesting read. I've spent some time on that particular what-if now and then. I imagine a lot of people making a living at a keyboard do. Glad to hear that, much as I've imagined, it doesn't mean the end of the line. I

That's fair. You can do plenty with Scenic entirely without hardware. And you should, Scenic is great :)

Oh, hey! I've seen you around :) And thanks. Though nyaray deserves plenty of the credit too. Yeah, my firmware image weighs in at 20Mb for the sample_inky repo. I like Nerves a lot for all the sanity it provides for the process.

Author here. Sorry to hear that that's your take-away. I can see how it feels framework-loaded. But making a library that works with Scenic (UI framework) and Nerves (embedded runtime and platform, alternative to Raspbian for the Pi) i

Those are interesting. I hadn't expected them to be very hackable. Just something with ads on Facebook so I sort of wrote them off. Would be happy to be wrong.

If you want 13" I don't think Inky will do it. I imagine trying to follow sheet music on a 4.2" display might be a bit rough. But I wouldn't know, I can hardly parse it on proper paper.

I can see that. Inky what would get you there. This thing. Not cheap. Slow refresh. But pretty neat. https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/inky-what

What size do you need? The wHAT is bigger and should work great with this. I don't have one so I haven't been able to verify. Will probably end up getting one at some point. Currently considering seeing how far I can push the Inky

The post only covers the web stack briefly. My current favorite things in Elixir are not particularly web-related: - Nerves, embedded Linux + the BEAM VM to do IoT-style things in a nicer way. The workflow compared to something like working

Oh yeah, that is an interesting thought. I've considered that too. Didn't cover it in the post because it isn't quite the focus of Nerves and I already had a lot to say. I've seen a few different nerves-systems targeting

I would say Phoenix doesn't attempt to be quite as magical as Rails and Django-style frameworks. It is a bit more explicit and as such hopefully easier to follow. The goal doesn't seem to be Rails for Elixir but rather that every

I've heard that a few times now, so I'm not sure if its a sort of community marketing meme or an actual truth. And I'm in the community :P

Not really, the frontend caches the static parts of the template and the backend only needs to resend the dynamic, changing, parts. So "Welcome to $mysite, $username." would initially send the full rendering but if the data change

Author here. You are right in that I haven't had a chance to see what a few-years-old Elixir project feels like to run and maintain. I've been following and experimenting with Elixir for a few years and I'm doing more stuff w

I feel like you are jumping to a lot of conclusions. I have worked with a number of different bash implementations and terminals on windows. I haven't found one I appreciated as much as the ones I use on MacOS or have used on Linux. Am

Well. I'm glad you can find computers that you find worth their price. I do use Windows 10 for gaming and some audio/video editing stuff, mostly because of ports and fat hardware. I don't enjoy dev work on it. I could get use

From what I've heard the change from the layer approach to the virtual linux was mostly related to file system performance. Does it have to be innovative if it offers better integration than VirtualBox? Or is it reasonable that they us

Objectively is a hard claim when it comes to an integration of software and hardware. What is the integration of hardware and software worth to any particular person? What is Apple doubling down on privacy worth to another one? Current MBP

Isn't it glorious? I definitely share those concerns. But being able to package things in an independent way is incredibly useful. I hope we can get away from the reliance on incredibly disproportionately sized runtimes (such as Chromi

Oooh, this seems like exactly what I need. I hope it gains some traction. Trying it out right now for small util my wife needs that has to run on a machine she doesn't fully control.

Ah, I was more thinking about the computer-and-screen form factor. But I see that was unclear on my part :) Have to look at that iOS thing. Would be interesting.
