Oh. Dropping IO.inspect into the pipeline is embarrassingly obvious! I can't believe I didn't think to do that. I always used IO.inspect as a pretty printer during development but I guess I didn't think it would return/p

> You can’t throw a REPL wherever your want in your code In my experience, I found I could throw a `require IEx; IEx.pry` pretty much anywhere in the code to get a REPL. This seemed like a unique superpower of Elixir to me. Where have yo

I'm inclined to agree with you, despite everybody else seeming to fundamentally disagree. I'm not convinced by either of the arguments in response to your comment. We have huge amounts of unemployment in the west and an economy th

No I mean the 'majority' as in the 51.9% who voted Leave , due to the poor turnout, corresponds to about 1/3 of the electorate.

I don't. I'm situated in a very stereotypically "rural England" type place — a deeply Conservative area, within the sea of Blue you see on maps of our election results[1]. In regard to Brexit, there's actually a s

I'm not sure why your comment has been downvoted, this is a very reasonable point. I agree with the linked comment in that I know I am in the minority (votes-wise) but the point I was making is exactly that. Many many people have com

I completely agree and have edited my comment to explicitly state that I do not support the Labour Party. I do however think that a Labour led coalition (the only other possibility?) would be the lesser of the two evils at the moment.

As a person from and living in the UK, I'm equally shocked and appalled as you. Everybody I know is baffled by and vehemently against these ridiculous proposals. Quite frankly I have no idea who is voting for the Conservatives. Anybody

Browsing through the full range of apps, I'm personally unconvinced by their selection. A lot of the provided apps seem to provide similar functionality, in some cases being attached to competing services. I think I'd rather have

This exists and is called Ungoogled Chromium[1]. As you'd expect from the name, it blocks all background communication with Google servers. I use it as my main browser and find it faster and more stable than both standard Chrome and Fi

I'm very surprised to see that nobody has mentioned OneTab.[1] With my use of Chrome, it performs fine with hundreds of tabs open until I attempt to reopen them after a restart, at which point I'll be waiting for about 5 minutes u

Out of interest, do you actually use this? I saw it recommended on HN before and tried it. I found it has one of the most awful UIs I've ever seen. I found it completely unusable and dropped it immediately. I'm not saying people s

I feel like most of the complaints here are about stateless password managers/generators in general. If not being able to change your master password is an issue to you, then this type of password manager is not for you. The cryptograp

You've got some really great selections there! I've picked a fairly random list of albums and EPs from a range of electronic music, I really hope you find things you like amongst it. Also I don't want to be the genre police b

Having used Facebook mainly for the messaging functionality for years now, I'm amazed I never knew messenger.com existed. It's interesting to consider that, although I use an ad-blocker, it must be in Facebook's interests to

These were also my thoughts when reading the article. I have always associated red with old and green with new. I also do not think red conveys the negative meaning the author suggests it does. I do, however, believe the author has a very s

Razor-qt is merging with LXDE, not XFCE. This is due to the similar goals of the two projects. https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/razor-qt/PNvkoidV2Ik
