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 a…

Not specific to fossil fuels, but there is Earth Overshoot Day[0] > Earth Overshoot Day marks the date when humanity has used all the biological resources that Earth regenerates du…

Are remote opportunities open to Canadians?

This is the first new app I have downloaded in a long time, it is a lot of fun!

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…

I am going to be transitioning to fully remote role (woot!) and am interested to know what other folks do for their setups. I am going to have a dedicated room in my home which wil…

Thanks!

Somewhat related: I want to build my own electric car, well, convert an ICE car to an electric one. I have the fabrication skills but I want to learn more about of the _electric_ s…

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 h…

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 engine…

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?…

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 next to n…

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 ba…

I really want to get the MP02 but the reviews on /r/punkt are all pretty damning.

I don't think this is the original source (I seem to remember a blog post with better diagrams), but this post [0] does a good job introducing pieces you need as your number of use…

Powergrid is my favorite free for all game at the moment. If you have enough people together then Scotland Yard is a great 1 vs many game to play as well.

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 comp…

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 sys…

Do you automate the selling as well?

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…

I moved from Canada to Korea. The most difficult part was getting a phone, which depended on having a bank card, and the bank card depended on having my residency card. No individu…

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 a…

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 "link…
