How to Sell Elixir AGAIN (2023)

Presented by Evadne Wu at Code BEAM Lite in Stockholm, Sweden on 12 May 2023

Synopsis

We have celebrated 10 years of Elixir and also nearly 25 years of Erlang since the open source release in December 1998.

Most of the libraries that were needed to make the ecosystem viable have been built, talks given, books written, conferences held and training sessions provided. A new generation of companies have been built on top of the Elixir / Erlang ecosystem. In all measures, we have achieved further reach and maturity than 5 years ago.

How to use this gist

You've got two main options:

Using the 8BitDo Zero 2 Remote with ANKI

The 8BitDo Zero 2 remote is ~$20 and can be used to gamify your studying.

See controller image below

The controller comes with preset keybindings that aren’t the most helpful. So, through the use of a key remapping software, you’ll update how your device interprets the keys!

If you don’t want to download a remapper, you should be able to use an

Notes on Modern UI Development: Taking Ideas from Spaced Repetition

Introduction

I have been working on a modern typing training application for the last couple of days. One of the main motivations was to build an app with a modern UI and minimal distractions, enabling to fully focus on the training aspect. You can read more about the original idea and thought process here as well as some notes on iterating over the details here.

After adding some minimal auto close functionalities for the code training section, you can read about it here, another important feature was to make the text training part more entertaining.

Apple Borked my Nix!

Ok, so you've had nix (home-manager) working fine. Then Apple tells you it's time to update.

Ok. Reboot. Oops. It has now broken your Nix setup. Here's some stuff to work through. YMMV.

Note: This is what worked for me, who was just using nix + home-manager. The upgrade that I last did that caused all these issues was 12.3.X > 12.4

Visual Studio Code and C# code completion and debugger for Godot

Ok, this is a quick document to guide you through the setup of a Godot project in Visual Studio Code.
I'll assume you have a working C# environment installed. Note that on Linux, you might need to install Mono for everything to work fine with Godot 3.x.

1. Install the necessary extensions

First off, make sure you have the following extensions installed and active in Visual Studio Code:

C#

	# launch daily notes with `notes`
	# launch specific notes with `notes woodworking`
	# this is a cloud synced file, so it's live on all my devices
	function notes(){
	SUBJECT="${1:=daily}"
	if [ -z "$SUBJECT" ]
	then
	(cd ~/Documents/notes && hx NOTES.md)
	else
	(cd ~/Documents/notes && hx "${SUBJECT:u}.md" NOTES.md)
