It's fine when you have add/2, you know those are numbers. It's kinda awful when you have start_some_chain_of_events/5. What are those 5 args? No clue!

Note to myself:

Life is too short to waste with null pointer exceptions, undefined is not a function, ...

Just use Elm for the frontend.

 You're worth $6 million in Illinois. 
Your estate tax bill? $456,071. 
 
Most people I talk to have no idea Illinois has an estate tax. 
Or that it kicks in at $4 million. 
Not $15 million like the federal exemption. 
$4 million.

Every rich person's nightmare is that they will somehow have to give something back to society

I keep debating if I should remove bullet points from my writing. I've loved using them for years because the layout helps me read. But then I see them associated with AI slop and I'm unsure if I should sacrifice layout for being associated with slop.

Don’t Feed The Stray - PlayFly Play this creation on PlayFly

Anyone want to try your hand at writing a One Page Horror Story with a simple tool I’m helping create?

Here’s an example:

HTML might be getting a new type of tag, which… hasn't happened this millennium. Here's the new syntax, and how it works:

its amazing how chatgpt knows everything about subjects I know nothing about, but is wrong like 40% of the time in things im an expert on. not going to think about this any further

Exactly! If Bob Nystrom wrote it too, I'd buy a copy day one. Heck, I'd buy copies for friends!

The Java version is fantastic! One of the few physical programming books I own. I just want a similar book where the language you build is in the ML family. There are a million and one resources for making Lisps and C-family langs

Null is now roughly a trillion dollar mistake.

Just spent an hour with a coworker trying to track down a nil error in Elixir.

Do you know any talented folks who hate their dayjob?? My friend is investing $100k to help people kickstart small businesses! She prefers "boring" industries like manufacturing, transportation, repair, etc. Feel free to DM me and I'll set up an intro

The The conference for all BEAM lovers using Erlang, Elixir and Gleam Full day of first-rate BEAM-related talks! This event offers a unique opportunity to meet locally, learn from industry experts, and network with fellow Erlang, Elixir & Gleam programming language enth...

there's six weeks to go until code beam vancouver! i'm super stoked to be speaking more about lustre's component system and how it's easy to take an existing component and run it in real time on the server 🤯

if that sounds kinda maybe cool you can still nab a ticket! codebeamvancouver.com

Totally unrelatedly, so, both David R. MacIver and @wickstrom.tech work at @antithesis.com now? Unghh I'd love to work on PBT all day every day 🫠

Speed time up. We already know how to (more or less) slow things down (lowering their temperature) but we don't have a good means of testing things that take a long time.

When I'm telling the LLM to do a task, I know what needs to be done, I just don't want to have to write Elixir 😅

It's not exactly that simple, but it's the gist of it for me. I'll also ask it to do something and then just go read other parts of our code base to figure out my next steps to take as part of a larger feature. So I'm still very much reading as much of the code base as I can/need to.

Why Elixir is the best language for AI - Dashbit Blog A recent study by Tencent showed that Elixir had the highest completion rate across models when compared among 20 different programming languages. In this article, we explore the reasons why that may ...

It's possible, there is dashbit.co/blog/why-eli... which suggests Elixir is really good for LLMs. My experience has been that it's not any better than other languages. I think the reason I use it at work is that I can say "do __" and grab a coffee. Then come back and do a code review (which I enjoy)

I do find where people fall on the spectrum to be interesting. In my personal code I'm almost entirely at a 0, while at work I'm either a 0 or a 0.7. Outside of a few niche use cases, tab completions just have never worked the way I've needed.

Home elm make in watch mode. Fast and reliable.

Every day I have to build without lydell.github.io/elm-watch/ is a sad day. It's hard to explain how nice of a tool it is to work with. I've yet to encounter another hot-reload setup as nice

Wild how far you can push "customizable select" with just #CSS

@joshuakgoldberg.com As a native English speaker that works with linters, please solve this argument I'm having with others: Which words fit and don't fit in this specific sentence, and which one would you recommend?

"The error appears _ row 5."

in / at / on / other...?

Why can't they be separate? Do you still enjoy a chocolate made by a machine while also enjoying the ones you make?

Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio)
Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio) YouTube video by Bruce Springsteen

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Bilbo asks ChatGPT if he should keep the ring. ChatGPT enthusiastically tells Bilbo to keep the ring, especially because Gandalf seems to want it.
