Call for Speakers for ElixirConf EU 2023 is open and I've just submitted a session!

Actually, #ChatGPT is helpful understand how to explain things to people. Long haul, but I got it to admit #Elixir is safer than #Rust if we restrict to the languages (not programmer) and the definition of safety as memory issues, race conditions & undefined behavior. :).

ChatGPT's knowledge of programming languages is often incompetent contradictory gibberish, and scary. As a coder, I will sleep better tonite knowing this AI will probably only get worse as it trains off it's own crowd-generated nonsense. #Elixir and #Java examples.

Check out my latest article: Is Pure Functional Programming a Lie? via @LinkedIn (updated from my earlier article).

RT @70sscifi: It’s the year 2022…

Is functional programming a lie? (spoiler: no, but mutation is a lie). As usual an #elixirlang promotion in disguise :) - Philosophy, controversy, etc.

RT @michalslaski: Today I tried to use a local Python Jupyter Notebook and here are the training times:.0.6s - Elixir Livebook.2.7s - Pytho….

(after reading the teasers from José and guessing) A few weeks ago I tweeted about how great a match Elixir, with its immutable-functional-concurrency, would be for the GPU. It's coming true - Yay!.

In this presentation I pose the question: How does one safely "kill" a thread in #java, #Ruby, #csharp, #rustlang, (or any language with a shared memory model)? How about in #elixirlang or #erlang? Why?.

Why keep old books? all my notes are in there:

Three of the most influential Computer Science books ever written and that have survived on my bookshelf for over 30 years - they never get old.

Presenting in front of a "virtual" (but very real) audience is nerve-racking! We need to make on-line presentations more engaging - I need to hear people laugh at the jokes.

Live, from Finland it's. Taking Elixir Live at a Bank! (recorded at ElixirConf EU Virtual in October).

#elixirlang /#erlang developers who have been wondering for years "what is this #docker thing for?" are now very confused.

While hw people are nitpicking hw performance: #AMD vs Apple/#Arm vs #Intel , vs 7nm, 5nm, etc. -- there are a bunch of sw engineers thinking: welcome to the parallel age, your old sw benchmarks do not apply, and we need to retool software development. #elixirlang, #golang.

“In the future, we may not have to go to work; the work would come to us”!.

Why does #entertainmentweekly have unicorns in source html? I found this randomly by accidentally hitting source view (muscle memory?) while watching #StephenColbert view-source:

RT @mrjoelkemp: "To power their chat systems, Discord runs 400-500 Elixir machines. The most impressive feat is that Discord’s chat infrast….

I have no idea what they are arguing about but this is hilarious. tired of watching whacky weird dog videos?.
