It's perfect for gaming: silent, reliable network and Bluetooth, and supports basically any TV or projector. Works great with Xbox Elite controllers. Only downside is that keyboard/mouse can't connect to Apple TV, so it'

Ah, I see someone has listened to "The Rest is Science" recently. Great podcast with Michael Stevens (VSauce) and Hannah Fry (the mathematician) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9t-5lQ2mzuw

I have my Windows gaming rig in a rack at home, and run Apollo [1] on it. Using that, I can game on any Apple TV (with an Xbox controller) or the MacBook (connected to a display/keyboard/mouse) anywhere in my home. With wired netw

It was a compliment to Miele in particular, not to all of German engineering ever ;-)

A BEAM process is not an OS thread. The way I understand it, a BEAM process is just a very small memory space with its own heap/stack, and a message system for communication between BEAM processes. The BEAM itself runs multiple OS thre

Counterpoint on the "going all-in": we have a 7 year old Elixir/Phoenix project that currently sits at ~100K LOC and I couldn't be happier. It has been absolutely wonderful building this with Elixir/Phoenix. Obvious

Not OP, but I made the move from Ruby/Rails to Elixir years ago, so I'll try to answer from my perspective. Elixir is a functional programming language based on the "BEAM", the Erlang VM. We'll get back to the BEAM

I recently replaced the shock dampers on our Miele washing machine (~10 years old) and I was amazed how well designed and ergonomic the inside of the machine is. Parts are very easy to get at, all screws are Torx of identical size, and ther

Hey, this looks great! I would love to test the Home Assistant version via TestFlight if that's possible; email is in my profile.

It's funny that you mention this, and it made me take some time to appreciate I've been working with Elixir full-time for almost 10 years now, and the entire experience has been so... stable. There's been little drama, the la

Arq ( https://www.arqbackup.com/ ) is a pretty decent backup solution for macOS (and Windows) that lets you bring your own storage. So you can let it back up to Amazon S3/Glacier, Dropbox, your own NAS with ZFS, or one o

The Netherlands has very complete and reliable public datasets (provided by the government) that contain loads of information about roads, buildings, up to individual trees. Additionally, there's sites like Netherlands3D[0] that combin

Sidenote: thanks so much for taking the time to write the Oban docs. I'm a big user (and fan) of Oban, and the docs are fantastic.

DMA has not been used against EU tech companies because US tech companies are clearly the market leaders in the area the DMA is concerned with. The DMA exists to make sure that companies (from the EU, US, or elsewhere) comply with EU regula

VAT is not a "sneaky backdoor tax", it's imposed on all goods, regardless of where they're produced or imported from. DMA (and similarly, GDPR) are enforced in EU countries just as much. It's just that the US tends

Best decision of last year for my homelab: run everything in Proxmox VMs/containers and back up to a separate Proxmox Backup Server instance. Fully automated, incremental, verified backups, and restoring is one click of a button.

Why would that be? I'm no biologist but I'm quite sure the CO2 won't make it all the way to the bladder, when drinking plain carbonated water.

Those drives are amazing. Not exactly cheap, but very reliable and silent enough for home server use.

The provider can upgrade their network from GPON to XGS-PON; in fact KPN (a large Dutch provider) does this regularly, especially in areas with new housing developments.

Great question! We actually just use the static assets (stylesheets, images) from our public asset CDN. The generated HTML points to the latest version of those assets, which means we can always use all the latest styling/assets in our

We're using Gotenberg[1] to convert a rendered web page (with Elixir/Phoenix, in our case) to PDF. Works like a charm and we can use our existing frontend code/styling (including SVG graph generators) which is a huge bonus. 1

It's due to the narcotic effects of nitrogen that GUE (Global Underwater Explorers, a diving association rooted in tech/cave diving) uses EAN32 (32% oxygen) as their standard breathing gas. They're also more conservative in t

That was an amazing set. The first one I bought from my own hard-saved cash as a kid. Really fun to build and amazing (and informative) to see the working steering, differential, suspension, and gear train assemblies. I have this set laying

While most monitors these days have some protection built in to combat burn in, I believe it's still an issue, yes. It's why Monitors Unboxed (a brilliant YouTube channel, by the way) doesn't recommend[1] using an OLED monito

Ha, this bit me a few weeks ago. Almost went back to the store with the Duracell batteries, thinking they were empty on arrival because none of them worked in any of my AirTags, until I found out the bittering agent was the problem.
