Too bad about the reWind Mac app, which they've kneecapped with the latest update starting on Dec 19th even though it could probably have continued to function as a local-only thing. It was kind of nice as a local everything-memory, ma

This is how I learned Erlang and the BEAM back in the day, and I'd still recommend it.

I've used both heavily and I'd have to say no. You are in general better off with Elixir, with easy access to all Erlang and Elixir libraries, all BEAM functionality, a better package manager and build tool, and a more modern feel

Some part of the reason for this is that pretty much anybody who is owns a single-family home in Iceland outright and is otherwise mostly debt-free would count as a millionaire (in USD) these days, because housing has appreciated by ridicul

Neat! Driving HA through API is a clever alternative so you can build exactly the UX you want.

OP here, the switches we used are push-button Berker switches. I can't say I'm 100% happy with them, they look nice and are tactile but they are the "toggle" type - push and hold to either dim or brighten (never really k

Happy New Year from an Icelander in Garðabær (10 minutes by car south of Reykjavík... our definition of a suburb )

Me too, initially in a chat with GPT-4 [0] and then in a (private for now) wrapper that sends me a text message when analysis is complete, sums up the day's meals, and compares to my total calories burned per Apple Watch. [0] https:&#

Yes, the BEAM VM allows you to write native code in a few different ways and call it from BEAM-native languages. For Rust there is a library called Rustler that simplifies the process a lot.

I'm a very long-time Beeminder user and would recommend it to anybody looking for another motivational mechanism. It's not always the best approach to motivation, but for certain types of goals like "work out frequently enoug

It's the total amount of money he'd be paying to Beeminder if he failed all his goals (money at risk).

The "vertical" example looks contrived in JavaScript, but if that's your thing, I think it's OK. But please don't promote antipatterns from languages that actually have a pipe operator (like Elixir) such as the &#x2

Elixir/Phoenix is a great option. Oban for batch processing. Everything runs either in the Elixir VM (BEAM) or on PostgreSQL, no other servers to set up or manage. Same for personal projects. Sentry is great for monitoring. Prometheus&

Similar in Icelandic. Most Icelanders when speaking English will use the Icelandic "v" sound for both v and w, it is somewhere in between.

MV2 background pages were already by default in a mode where they are suspended when not in use. MV3 doesn't improve on that except to make it impossible to have persistent background pages.

For software startups there has never been a lesser need for funding. For anybody willing to start their own thing, it's never been easier. And for anybody else who's smart and wants to do big things, message me.

Looking back, and filtering for things I built from scratch, probably GRIT [0], the Google Resource and Internationalization Tool. I originally wrote the tool when I had enough of 3-way merges of resource files for Google Desktop, and it en
