When José first launched LiveBook I thought it was Ambitious to take on the Jupyter project, but here its getting better and more usuable every single day.

Huge props, the Livebook Project is an incredible example what is possible with Elixir.

One of the interesting bits about Fly is we have our own servers distributed globally and connected via wireguard. Which makes it is trivial to setup Elixir/Erlang distribution globally, and most importantly, close to your customers. While its not a magic bullet it is pretty amazing to type a few commands have a globally deployed and directly distributed application.

Further Fly builds its Dashboard internally with Phoenix LiveView. We want the Phoenix and Ruby and Laravel and more communities soon, to grow because we believe if they grow, we will too.

I go into this in the article :) the rustler team has a made a DirtyNif that can work around that, or you can manually yield if you'd like.

Nif's are always a risk to deploy cause they run embedded in the Beam runtime. That said we all use many nif's to do all kinds of stuff and its fine.

I go into this in the article a little but but the ruslter team has made dirtycpu and dirtyio macro's to help reduce the risks.

Author here. The rustler team has really made a great developer experience using Rust in Elixir and I just had to share.

As mentioned in my original post. I used to regularly drink. Often with food and hydrating.

You have alcohol tolerance and I no longer have that. Your experience with hangovers is entirely based on tolerance.

Hydration and food are an important aspect of not getting a terrible hangover for me still but it does not stop them entirely.

Sounds like you drink more often than once or twice a quarter.

Once you stop drinking the hangovers get worse and worse. The pandemic removed the pressure to drink (for some) and now it’s really hard to lose an entire day to feeling like garbage in exchange for a couple hours of partying. I still drink one or two socially but anymore and my next day is a mess.

raises many questions:

- what movements was this evolved to support? (sprinting? walking a different way than was studied? running?)

- Are our shoes causing us to underuse this muscle?

Just from the video and the cadence shown I suspect if you did a slightly quick jog running on your forefoot you might hit that muscle on the rebound.

What you have is resistive electric stove. It is not the same as an induction stove.

I purchased a Samsung tv, I connected it to Wifi one time to download any 'updates' then I disabled WIFI and all of the smart features via the menu and went the extra mile to block its MAC Address on the router.

I never once touched any of the smart features and it has been fine so far. This has been my rule for any devices that requires WIFI. I should really setup a special guest network for them and disable WAN access but I haven't gotten that far yet.
