Oh, wow. I didn't expect to see this on HN today. This was a toy app I wrote to learn a bit more about Elixir, Phoenix, and Phoenix's concept "channels" (websockets). I submitted it a long time ago to HN. I wrote a bit m

I'm generally happy with Autopilot in my Tesla but it annoys me that I have to keep tugging at the wheel. Is it not safe to sit with your hands in your lap, ready to grab the wheel, while attentively monitoring traffic? It feels like a

I dunno, they seem like pretty different domains to me, despite both looking at the eye. Generating an image of the eye that's consistent across different scans in different environments but different from person to person, is one chal

I don't get the argument that there's legal ambiguity. It was Mozilla licensed through some version; as long as you use that version it will be fine, right? Obviously, there's the argument that Hashicorp might sue you even fo

I thought this was a great article! I've used Elixir professionally for several years and it all rings true to me. The bit about Keyword lists I think doesn't mention the biggest aspect of it as I think about it: erlang compatibil

I think it may seem a bit jarring to you only because it's not common, because there aren't so many women physicists and these sort of personal interest pieces aren't done for them so often. It's not necessarily some DEI

No, WhatsApp is truly e2e encrypted and uses the same Ratchet algorithm in Signal, IIRC. That's why tptacek and moxie were generally positive about it. I think there's something about key rotation and a default setting where it do

I've used Elixir professionally for 6 years and have been very impressed with how it's been managed. All additions seem very careful and deliberate. I can't think of any regression or issue I've had as the language and t

I use VSCode at work on our Elixir codebases so I feel your pain trying to get ElixirLS working, though when it does work it's pretty good. However, on my personal laptop I've been trying out the Zed editor which has Elixir langua

I suspect eye tracking with small relaxed hand gestures will be like this. It will be as far beyond clicking with a mouse, as the mouse was beyond text and keyboard only. I've been idly imagining how my work experience would be differe

Damn, a bunch of worry warts in your other responses. I feel like I could safely manage a knife if I closed my eyes, or if I was cooking at night and my power went out! Like, I wouldn't immediately chop off a finger... I could manage t

Looks good. I love how Elixir is "finished" and all these new updates are tweaks and performance improvements and stuff like that. Is there an overview of the new standard library helper functions it mentions anywhere?

Wow, congrats! Does this change anything about the feel of working on it, I wonder? Until now, it has been a real passion project. I wonder if this will make working on it more of a chore, or if it will affect the "roadmap". I hop

No, you misunderstand. The lenses between your eyes and the screens will give it a focal distance of something like ~2 meters. So from an eye health / focus point of view it will be like staring at a wall 2 meters away all day (which i

The last season was my favorite. I was amazed how well it captured the AGI vibes in my corner of Silicon Valley at the time. These days I think most people would easily recognize OpenAI and GPT, but it was filmed 5 years ago!
