With CacheX being involved the memory leak you mention in your parent comment might be caused by ETS holding references to your binaries. I ran into something similar a few years ago and wrote about it here[0], but the tldr is that you can

In addition to what the offer recommended in the "Scheduling work" section, using the `:timer.send_interval()` can be useful if you want to do something every X seconds, instead of every X + Y seconds, where Y is the time it takes

It would be great if more people did this. In my opinion, air travel is pretty low hanging fruit when it comes reducing personal carbon footprints. I'll spend some time closer to home rather than hopping across the ocean/contine

Cool! I don't know much about bird conservation efforts but it is encouraging that we are having success in some areas.

(serious) Is there any hope? Its just one problem after another (probably because everything is linked). What are the chances that we will get our act together or be able to engineer ourselves out of all of these problems?

Sangria is an excellent GraphQL library for Scala! Very sadly Oleg Ilyenko, the maintainer, passed away recently[0]. [0] https://twitter.com/etorreborre/status/1126921902386184195?s...

A resource for finding jobs for "green" companies would be great. At least here in Canada, my searches that intersect "software" with "green"/"renewable"/"wind"/etc yield nex

Tagging onto this to see if anyone knows of resources for jobs in Canada. I search every once in awhile for those key terms but finding an intersection with software jobs yields basically nothing.

I would love to contribute to these kind of things, but unless I was missing something on that website, there were no links to jobs/careers. Do you happen to know of a list of companies that hiring for climate change related fields? O

You should try Elixir and Phoenix. Phoenix is similar enough to Rails that you won't feel totally lost, while using Elixir will teach you about functional programming and actor systems.

If you are interested in cooking/food, I get a laugh out of Brad Leone's show on YouTube called "Its Alive", where he focuses mainly on fermented foods. Recent episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7T4

I gave my first ever talk last night for the Toronto Elixir meetup (Introduction to Actors in Elixir). It was a lot of fun! The author here is correct about the time, my talk was around ~20 minutes, but I probably spent close to 10 hours

Awesome thanks for the info! I guess I have never really thought about the case where my supervisor would go down before the workers would. But you're right the processes are "linked" in Elixir as well.

I wrote a blog post[0] that walks through some example Elixir code to explain it. It boils down to having Supervisor processes that monitors worker processes (or other supervisor processes), and the supervisor receives a message when the wo

You are probably correct. The server-side GQL implementations I have worked on expect only POST requests, and expect each requests' body to contain a query or a mutation.

We are using the Sangria[0] framework with a Play[1] app. Sangria does all of the GQL related stuff and Play dos the usual server stuff. Sangria's documentation is quite good, but the part that answers your question will be in the &qu
