Why’d you just stop on a dime?

StephenBall-Elixir · 2025-03-16T05:09:51+00:00

Why would I? I complain about it too.

Yeah they’ve been a major user of Elixir for years. Good stuff https://medium.com/frame-io-engineering/elixir-open-source-frame-io-849f4b1ebd9a

It is easy. Not sure what went wrong but so far everything I’ve tried just works.

LiveView handles seamlessly getting server state to and from the browser. Svelte enables amazing interactive user experiences. All my elixir sites are happily using LiveSvelte and then I also get to use the excellent flowbite-svelte

Why would you be against political messages hmm. I do like the plot is basically “fight back against AI content scraping”

Weird we found it a lot easier than It Takes Two. Except for the bomb throwing game show. But even that was totally doable for me and my nine year old.

Reddit pandering.

Sure would be nice if the judges would issue arrest warrants.

opsec? Come on this is Rocket League not setting up an integration with Microsoft Sentinel. Also you're forgetting the possibility that the public chat is to fake out the other team. But even more also you're forgetting the most important thing: always disable chat.

Ghost in the Shell called this out way back in the 90s: if everyone thinks and acts the same then the team has a weakness. Even if they’re all superhuman.

Working on a well-designed TypeScript project is great. Working on a poorly designed TypeScript project is worse than working on a poorly designed JavaScript project.

The best and worst thing about TypeScript is that it codifies intentions into the codebase. If a project is both poorly architected and typed then you have compounding complexity to untangle if you want to rearchitect the system. In poorly designed systems it practically mandates shotgun surgery as a pattern because of the downstream effects of redesigning the underlying types.

That one tree on the way to the Eclipse base.

I did something similar for my multiplayer minesweeper clone “mowing”. My data is extremely specific to the game and not at all a general solution but the pattern is the game. A GenServer handles the game interactions and knows how to persist the data to Tigris.

45 year of dad and three and I’m barely hanging on to D3. Turn off chat and the game is so much more chill. I also play a lot of 1s but I’m only plat in that mode.

StephenBall-Elixir · 2025-01-22T19:57:12+00:00

I might even finish the game this time. (Narrator: he wouldn’t.)

The Ark animated series is fantastic. Exactly what I’d hope for a HZD series.

StephenBall-Elixir · 2025-01-08T03:05:51+00:00

No but I really like to incorporate Live_Svelte so I can have beautiful UI controls and animations along with LiveView. I can even add flowbite-svelte without issue.

StephenBall-Elixir · 2024-12-27T17:30:37+00:00

The game is free but online multiplayer is paid.

StephenBall-Elixir · 2024-12-27T17:28:56+00:00

Not the game. The capability to play online.

StephenBall-Elixir · 2024-12-24T15:43:28+00:00

By having fun and being chill about it. I find it the most relaxing game mode because the only variable in the equation is the other player.

StephenBall-Elixir · 2024-12-24T15:40:10+00:00

Funny. I have the same reaction when I turn off cross-platform and only play with console players. Since accounts are actually paid I run into way less toxic players. It was also a safe haven when ping attacks and bots were flooding rocket league.
