Hello I've been working on a small stack language for the BEAM in my free time called 'Xlerb'. I read Starting Forth and thought it would be interesting to see if you could send me…

It's been a long time since I've programmed Prolog so I'm not sure if these ideas are even relevant (global state might be more than enough!) ; but at first impressions from the re…

I think that's going to be hard to find, depending on your definition of 'regular', tbh. The BEAM's grown up along with Erlang and so the culture and optimisations are built up all…

They're probably using some features of LiveView; I'm not too familiar with how HTMX works, but with LiveView you can define all of your logic and state handling on the _backend_, …

For BEAM MCP you probably want to look at TideWave, which runs _in your application_ to give the LLM context and an execution environment. https://hexdocs.pm/tidewave/mcp.html

I've heard of domain fronting, where you host something on a subdomain of a large provider like Azure or Amazon. Is this what you're talking about when you say > - Host on a piece …

Surprised to not see Acko.net mentioned in comments already - he uses similar aids in one of his blog posts to break down complex numbers and ultimately fractals. Likely right up y…

Agreed - updated with colour again

It’s not the most accessible colour scheme - I’ll have a look and tweak it so dark mode is more readable. I’d definitely be really grateful for help with that! I’m not planning to …

Since going down this rabbit hole, I gave Anki another fair shot and actually RTFM :) the blog post warrants an update https://docs.ankiweb.net/deck-options.html#learning-steps Det…

I have been bedroom DJing, and wanting to expand what I can do with the hardware I already have. Using `midiex` for Elixir I’ve written a fully fledged driver for Ableton Push, let…

This isn’t exactly the case. The camera has an actuating mirror on the end of the rotating arm that allows it to point at arbitrary angles. https://youtu.be/aXfTgCCsRSg (T=4:30) Th…

Not the other commenter, but my team has been using Elixir in production (soft real-time distributed systems) for several years to great success. The approachable syntax has been g…

A commenter on Reddit [1] pointed out that you can access the hearing test feature directly by using a special URL: x-apple-health://HearingAppPlugin.healthplugin/HearingTest I won…

It's a bold statement to call something a Prolog successor! Are you aiming for a general purpose logic programming language like Prolog, or targeting the use case of querying knowl…

I would second Prolog as mind-blowing. I've found you're typically confronted with fully engaging with the core of whatever problem you're solving, and only that core. This is prob…

The comment character is also configurable: git config core.commentchar This is helpful where you want to use use say, markdown to have tidily formatted commit messages make up you…

I don’t know about your particular use case, but it is never a bad idea to learn Prolog. https://www.metalevel.at/prolog The Power of Prolog is an extremely in depth, comprehensive…

In the spirit of scratches, it was only at a recent 70mm film screening that I spotted the rig used for the floating pen scene as Floyd falls asleep in the shuttle. As the weightle…

For anyone else interested, and to clarify, "the Book of Kells experience" is to stand in for the exhibit in the Old Library while it's closed for renovations until 2025 [1]. Rathe…

I've been intrigued enough to pull down Gnu COBOL and attempt to write some simple programs, and found it to be quite an alien universe in and of itself. Can you give any examples …

This was exactly my thought. The title is 'A local, privacy first Notion alternative', but the site talks about > can I own my piece of the new internet today? Which screams 'digit…

I’ve recently incorporated exactly this into my journaling routine and find it a delight to look back on. At the end of the day I’ll be sure to write down one or two perfectly run-…
