As a science fiction writer I really fucking resent tech bros for ruining the phrase "artificial intelligence." 80 years of it being all about cool androids and interesting computers destroyed by five years of "Spicy autocorrect making everything shittier for money." NEVER FORGIVE.

#Elixirlang friends, do I know anyone using this in production? it's interesting github.com/wavezync/dur...

I hate reviewing AI generated code when I know the dev didn’t read it

When writing about Property-Based testing, I found they were much more solid and comprehensive than usual tests, due to their more general (properties vs examples). They weren’t used because they felt more complex and time-intensive to write, despite being shorter and having to change them less.

to young people: you may at some point have heard about the Y2K problem. some people may have told you it wasn't a big deal i need you to understand the only reason it wasn't a big deal was that everyone spent loads of time fixing code before it could become a problem, which is why it never did

Just realized Apple still puts in the work to conform to the UNIX standard. * On September 12th, 2024, macOS version 15.0 Sequoia was certified under the UNIX 03 standard. www.opengroup.org/openbrand/re...

The language server generating variants for me is going to be so helpful

people are shipping AI agent code to production?

Hey Canada. Go VOTE! 🇨🇦 It's very important

I've been dreaming of having a ~SQL sigil for a long time This is a dream come true!

I used to work in a refrigerated warehouse. I’ll never forget the smell of a truckload of frozen chicken that had thawed during shipping. Every pallet was dripping chicken juice - the floor was slick with it. A food inspector rejected the load, which otherwise would have gone to stores for sale.

There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers. Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.

They called it the Great Depression, I don't think it was that great. People are saying my depression will be much greater. Some say it could even be the greatest depression. I don't know, we'll see. But it could be.

This is an iPad app running LVN along with the Phoenix app running *on device* and editable showing real-time updates. All on the same screen. #ElixirLang

Last month AI crawlers generated 90% of my site's traffic, forcing me to pay penalties Problem solved after moving nameservers to Cloudflare+turning on AI crawler blocking. Site monthly outbound data back to ~40GB per month, down from 800GB (!!) No impact on human visitors

My government is cancelling the capital gains tax hike. We’re going to incentivize builders, innovators, and entrepreneurs to grow their businesses right here in Canada and create more good-paying jobs. It’s time to build the strongest economy in the G7.

My meeting with the Council on Canada-U.S. Relations was focused on keeping Canada’s economy strong in the face of unjust tariffs.   We’re ready to engage with the U.S. on a comprehensive negotiation — when Canada is shown respect as a sovereign nation.

turns out your whole "three branches of government" and the "checks and balances" thing was only being held together by tradition and good faith

look at what they're doing to Elixir over on LinkedIn

Found someone streaming erlang on Twitch right now, let's go support them #elixirlang folks www.twitch.tv/chiroptical

Semaphore has open sourced its CI/CD platform under Apache 2.0 in a new GitHub repository: github.com/semaphoreio/... Probably the biggest #ElixirLang / Phoenix app? @josevalim.bsky.social

We said we will focus on interoperability for 2025 and we are ready to share the first results. Embedding Python in Elixir, it's Fine: dashbit.co/blog/running... More updates likely at ElixirConf EU 2025 :)

The US voted *with* Russia against the UN resolution condemning the invasion of Ukraine and demanding a withdrawal. Utter betrayal of country, allies, and principles.

Just discovered `Process.set_label/2`, that's huge! Can't count the number of times I've been debugging live code and I had to guess which generically named process was which #ElixirLang hexdocs.pm/elixir/main/...
