Well the good news is that now that we have mRNA vaccine technology we can develop vaccines just as fast as those viruses come. It blows my mind that we had the coronavirus sequenced the first weekend after it was discovered, and the first

Offtopic, but what's the story on the usage of "hype" like this? I would have said "pretty hyped" but I feel like I've seen it a few times lately without the "d", enough that I no longer think it&#x27

Similarly for milennials graduating around ~2008 like me. I had the good fortune to graduate right into the chasm of the financial collapse, so was happy with my little $28k/yr job. But with Boston not as crazy hot as it is now, and a

Really? I find it hard to imagine that anyone who owns a freestanding home hasn't wanted to carry some sort of large item home from Home Depot. It's not some unusual "salt of the earth" kind of situation. I only have a t

Yeah, this is crucial to me. I was formerly a paid user of ST3 before switching to VSCode, but gave the ST4 beta a try a month or so ago. I couldn't get the LSP to work for me for Elixir, so I ended up back on VSCode for now. I figured

Oh wow! Thanks for pointing this out, that really does sound interesting. Until your comment, I had thought tab multi select meant you could do multicursors now across tabs.

Hm, this works and is about as terse as `pattern_tap`: :erlang.localtime() |> case do; {_, {h,m,_}} -> {h, m}; end |> do_something Not that I'd want to do that in production code, but I felt a bit nerd-sniped

Yeah, basically this. Quite ad-hoc. The mechanism that Elixir used for providing different configuration values for dev, test, and prod (via dev.exs, test.exs, and prod.exs files), did not work well with environment variables, since those c

I highly recommend using the hexpm docker images, which you specify with elixir, erlang, and distro versions, e.g. hexpm/elixir1.12-erlang24.0-debian-buster. Since the official Elixir versions aren't pinned to a version of Erlang,

Several versions ago Jose talked about how Elixir is basically "done", which is so refreshing these days! But since then, the developer experience has improved by leaps and bounds through all these improvements other than the core

There's the so-called "PETAL" stack these days: Phoenix, Elixir, Tailwind.css, Alpine.js, LiveView. In that scenario, you use Alpine.js for the frontend-only stuff.

Awesome, thanks for linking that! I was wondering how these improvements would flow through to Elixir. Looks like we get the JIT performance improvements for free. And unrelated to the Erlang/OTP changes, Elixir 1.12 looks awesome. Tot

Just FYI for others, I also sent a contact on the site last time around, but I actually did get a response. It took maybe a week or so, but they're probably very busy!

How quickly? Like, you saw it in the docs when you were mildly interested and decided it wasn't for you? Or you started a project, had at least a "hello world" compiling, but then eventually gave up on it because you were tir

Yeah, I was wondering that, too. UX can cause harm, for example, certain kinds of contrast and lights for folks with epilepsy, but I'm not sure that the complaint here rises to that level. If you can't use something, you could a

You say "correct" but you're directly contradicting the parent's point, since with your argument the easily and correctly parsed 'Linux Subsystem "for Windows"' would not run afoul of any trademarks.

Somewhat off-topic, but I feel like the "patronage economy" is really taking off, with Patreon and GitHub sponsors. Content like this is really interesting, and I've appreciated this blog's various write-ups in the past.

Ah, well in that case I guess it's a sure bet that we'll reach it. Betting against the experts hasn't been such a bad idea through this whole dismal ordeal. Let's hope, anyway, because that second shot is a doozy and I s

I think you're referring to the "Earliest Potential Priority Date" column, some of which are older than that? But, e.g., Patent 6,954,431 with the priority date of Apr 19, 2000 (i.e. more than 20 years ago), if you click thro

It's really interesting that Zig seems to have managed to avoid the "color" distinction for async. I'm curious to see how it works out in the end (and am a happy sponsor, to help that out!). However, and maybe this is wh

Yeah, savagery can certainly be a natural state for people. Executions used to be public and people would cheer. The Scarlet Letter had a woman put in shackles in public to be abused for the audacity of having sex. People used to torture ca

I'm pretty excited about this. I'm admit I was skeptical when I saw a similar LiveView based notebook a couple months ago, and wondered why not just make a kernel for Jupyter. But with the idea of real-time collaboration I get it.
