I'm working on an Arabic-language Electronic Health Records system (moving to Syria in about 2 months and planning to market to clinics there). No current plans to release as Free/…

The first time I looked at Elixir, I thought it was hideous (I was really into Python and Ruby, and still admire them while liking Elixir much more). But I kept hearing about the v…

This is not by any means a “complete” picture. There was no consensus that Jesus is divine, or about the nature of the divinity ascribed to him, even after the declaration in 325 o…

“Islam” as a named religion with its own prescribed rituals and laws is specific to the message preached in Arabia in the 7th century. “Muslim” is a more transcendent term that enc…

Even Muslims do not claim their religion is completely novel. The rituals may differ, but the creed preached by Muhammad (peace and blessings upon him) is the same preached by Adam…

Wait til you have a legacy system and a newer system and need to, among other things: - Implement redirects from the old login screen to the new one - Keep sessions in sync - Make …

How mature is the RISC-V ecosystem for dev machines? VS Code and Jetbrains IDEs are probably not supported, but what about a setup with Fedora, Erlang, Elixir, Node, and maybe NeoV…

I posted this link because, having taken their Elixir and OTP course, I think their video content is the best in the business by far.

I have to look up a lot of words from classical (especially pre-Islamic) poetry as well. For my own poetry I use words that I, and anyone reading/listening, can understand more eas…

My head is spinning after skimming the sections on shared memory, locks, mutexes, etc. Implementation and adoption would probably be a decade-long saga. Not to mention teaching fol…

I work with Elixir full-time and agree with all of these. I just want to add: - Elixir docs are top notch, both the existing docs for the language and its ecosystem, and the ease o…

I’m almost 44 and becoming decent at writing Arabic poetry in the classical style. Along with intricate grammatical rules in the language itself, there are strict conventions for m…

I’ve been using Elixir professionally for a couple of years and honestly, the only area where Elixir is not top-notch is the language server, which runs the risk of alienating folk…

Hi Bob, I haven’t completed the book yet, but I wanted to note I appreciate you making it available for free online. I do my best to support authors like you (I have the book in pr…

Windows 2000 was the successor to Windows NT 4. On the consumer side, there was 95, then 98, then 98 SE (Second Edition), and then ME.

If it doesn’t break backward-compatibility there wouldn’t be a need to release a new major version (which very few people have the stomach for anyway).

I can only speak to Elixir. Elixir/Erlang/BEAM/OTP have less raw horsepower than, say, Rust, but they can potentially leapfrog “faster” platforms when under load due to predictable…

Worth noting: Carson Gross built _hyperscript[0], a HyperCard-inspired language that gets interpreted in the browser. Also worth noting: the same Carson Gross built htmx[1]. They a…

Are you trying to find a new role or build something for yourself? Is an SPA actually required? You might be able to build what you need using tools that involve less mental and te…
