Perfumery. It's something I got into a few years ago and has been a real eye-opener into the world of perfumery and our wonderful olfactory senses. Strangely, though I suspect is t…

I'm curious about what open source tools people might recommend for writing with a focus on technical writing that includes a mixture of text and code snippets.

I remember my mind being blown when I first came across list comprehensions. It was one thing to be able to effectively generate one list from another: Squares = [X*X || X (This ca…

Does this logic not basically invalidate anything that isn't imperative at a high level that eventually runs on a processor? Like, "why bother writing Haskell? It just gets compile…

That's true, in fact there are a whole bunch of BEAM languages[1]. It's just if OP needs to learn Erlang for their current project, learning Elixir, Gleam, LFE etc... might not be …

From OP's post: > But my current project requires me to learn erlang

I think Erlang's concurrency model is quite a bit different to the likes of Go (and probably most other languages). With Go you still have to worry about shared memory and have to …

I've had such a good experience with ELP, though did have some issues getting it working correctly with my emacs setup (that's probably somehow my fault). I will say though that fo…

I also really love this book! I'd also add that Adopting Erlang[1] is a great resource. [1]: https://adoptingerlang.org/

In recent years there has been some improvement with the available tooling with the likes of rebar3[1] and just a few months ago WhatsApp released ELP (Erlang Language Platform)[2]…

I'm not arguing that I think "Invalid name" is a good message here. I don't think it is. But if you're relying on either familiarity or the ability to look it up, then you're still…

What's an "unclosed group"? And how would I go about finding that out without reading some sort of manual?

This seems rather incomplete. Even if you were to use the cheat sheet to create a role/user and create a policy with a condition there's zero mention of row-level security, or even…

It's now magically made it to page 6, seems a bit odd

I recently learned that it had been reported that the music for those ads was stolen and used without permission. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/You_Wouldn%27t_Steal_a_Car

As the title states, just interested in finding some examples people think would be particularly good reads, especially for people approaching the language for the first time. Idea…

A few years ago I was working at a startup and we had just started moving some stuff over from AWS to GCP. Things were going pretty good with GCP until one day they pulled the plug…

I'm trying to source some programs and libraries written in Prolog to gain a better understanding of how a complete application is put together. Lots of Hello, World-esque examples…

I can't recommend the talk Dr Byrd did on this enough: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OyfBQmvr2Hc It's one of my favorite programs to play around with. I wrote about an Erlang imp…
