Elixir in Action is a great way way to learn the core language, and it's pretty up-to-date with its latest edition. Elixir as a language has been declared feature-complete, so it doesn't change that much anyway (the major libraries are a different story).

If you wanted a book to walk you through LiveView after that, I can recommend Programming Phoenix LiveView. The book is currently in "beta", with the final version expected in a month, so it's very up-to-date. We have a book club at work and just finished it this past week. It does a good job of showing how to make live-updating CRUD pages along with building a pentominoes puzzle game that's rendered with SVG. You build up the project chapter-to-chapter and have a pretty cool little app at the end.

As long as you don't need offline support, then a monolith webapp seems like a perfect use for LiveView, especially for a solo dev!

Are you wanting a general overview of Elixir and Phoenix, or do you want to jump into the most modern part of Phoenix, LiveView? I’m an Elixir developer, so I could help direct you to materials and answer questions if you’d like.

This study has been peer reviewed (by me)

Instead of saying to yourself “never again”, how about “never again with someone who will betray my vulnerability”? Because what happened to you sounds really horrible, but there are people out there who will be with you in your struggles and nurture and build you up in your vulnerable moments.

As a man someone who also struggles with vulnerability, there are ways to test the waters in a relationship (family, friend, partner, etc) when it comes to vulnerability so that you won’t be hurt like that again. I actually watched this video recently and found it really helpful: https://youtu.be/WyKFHd7cSaU

Of course, none of this is easy, but it can be life-changing to open up to someone and feel cared for. I’m glad you’re doing better, and I wish you the best.

So you’re saying there’s a chance?

That’s the thing with pizza. By most standards, that’s shit pizza. On the other hand, it’s hard to fuck up bread, sauce, cheese, and some veggies. I would absolutely eat and enjoy that if it were put in front me.

Moths can have a little bit of birds’ tears.

As an outsider to the scientific community, I wanted to know more about whatever the heck Parafilm is. I’ve definitely been educated 😆

Heeell yes! I used to blast Italics all the time. It’s from that wonderful music era of my life from 2014-2016 where I exclusively found music on SoundCloud.

I felt like such a rebel with my Casio in high school. It was so much faster, had a better screen, and had way more features.

MY PEOPLE! I’m so used to the CMD key that I made this shitty AutoHotkey script that makes things mostly work the same in Windows. It’s glitchy and imperfect, but it’s better than changing my muscle memory.

If anyone has any recommendations to improve the situation (besides recommending that I switch OSes), then I’m all ears.

I’ve heard the phenomenon you’re describing as the “lava layers”.

I still use an external Creative sound card so I can switch my speakers over USB between my work laptop and personal desktop!

That’s why I’m rooting for Ladybird.

And now we’re doing it to the almonds smh

Keeping “muscles make the body move” was artistic brilliance 🤌

Skipping React hydration… so, only rendering on the server? BBC just re-invented server-side rendering, bravo 👏😆

I say this as an 8-year React developer. Damn, our industry really drank the kool-aid on on this one. Of course, plenty of people have been saying that React for static content like this has always been a misapplication of the tool, I’ve been reading opinions like that the entire time I’ve been working with it.

I’m glad BBC is doing this, though. Legitimate kudos to them for recognizing the issue and working towards fixing it. I actually think there are some great benefits that React has given us:

• A universal component interface for all JavaScript-targeting languages
• An enormous ecosystem of components
• Popularization of the “component model”, which has spread to basically every other language that is used to render user interfaces (the mental model is just that much better)
• A quickly-evolving (React is arguably on its third major paradigm shift) testbed for what works best for UI development

I would be happy if React was supplanted in the near future, but I also have some fondness for it. I know I’m way off topic on this post, just felt like talking about React.
