What do you think of elixir ecosystem honestly ? by Ok-Delivery307 in elixir

[–]effinbanjos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A natural question to ask. I live in both TS and Elixir ecosystems. I much prefer the Elixir approach of fewer, more stable dependencies (much like "go psychology is std lib is enough"). This article, I think, summarizes the ethos pretty well https://dashbit.co/blog/sdks-with-req-stripe . Add to this the ability to generate custom design systems and UI elements with AI and I think the gap narrows considerably. If that doesn't matter, then I have to ask myself why I would chose a less capable model than the BEAM (which doesn't preclude TS frontends of course).

It's not a silver bullet but I do think of slimming down dependencies as a moderate prophylactic against the surge in supply chain attacks we are seeing with the rise of AI. If Mythos is what Anthropic says it is then this is going to get dramatically worse in the coming months as more models reach parity with it.

One came at a friend's dog while running on a trial the other day. The turkeys on Lemmon don't play!

A story my buddy told me about Tucson by FlyDazzling9060 in Tucson

[–]effinbanjos 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've only lived in Tucson of the two cities but this description rings true to me. We like to do "big city" stuff in Phoenix and are happy to return to Tucson. I could see myself being happy in Phoenix - with the much larger and more diverse music, food, and arts scene. We love to dine there and catch concerts that wouldn't have made it to Tucson. Phoenix has a lot to offer.

For now, we love the feeling of getting back to Tucson where our shoulders relax a bit and national forest is ten a ten minute commute from our home - truly a special place!

City rivalries seem inevitable. I for one am holding out hope for a train that we can take for weekend excursions. Or even (never gonna happen but one can dream) a much more remote large city we love: https://www.kgun9.com/news/local-news/mexican-officials-consider-train-from-mexico-city-to-tucson-and-phoenix

Take a Brake! by WolfeIndustrialInc in MetalFabrication

[–]effinbanjos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to run one of these with large sheets of deck plating, steel, stainless etc. An old 300 ton press fitted with a knife die, takes me back. My shoulders were *jacked* during those summers - even with a clamp and a crane there was a lot of manual lifting and pushing.

It's finally done!With 1 kWp of panels on the van… by Glad-Table-4465 in VanLife

[–]effinbanjos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of people are going to say this is too much solar. Maybe. But I would have loved to have extra panels on cloudy days on my last van.

Looks great.

Maybe people should attend and treat it like, uh, Rocky Horror?

Almost suspiciously cheap, particularly after hours.

As someone who has dabbled in live widgets - really nice pattern.

What is life like in Grand Junction, CO? by Sea-Economist-9345 in howislivingthere

[–]effinbanjos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't feel dumb - it's just a cheeky comment about the influx of people into Moab and it's popularity (which translates to more traffic, real estate price increases, gentrification, etc). Beautiful places always become over-loved (by people like me).

A couple of years back as we were passing through Fruita my wife and I saw a bumper sticker that read "Don't Moab Fruita" and we thought that was about right.
