Only Erlang and Elixir engineers will relate. The Functional programming.

@IamSandeshSoni @songpoemHQ @Reddit @Medium From this blog by @naps62, I also found out about #Quantum for job scheduling.

And, while this may/not be what you're looking for, I found that @RabbitMQ also has a #gen_batch_server API

@virtualJUG @java Thank you, kindly! 😊

[Aniruddha Sen @TheSilverNimbus]

I never knew I was 3 years older than @Java until I found out that we share a birth date!

It looks like May 23rd is a celebratory day for us both, old friend.

Happy birthday, @Java; I owe a huge part of my career, my life, and my love for the craft of coding to you. 🥂

My brother & I put a cap of @SelectAisle #Vanilla into a 2.25L bottle of @Pepsi and MY GOD! IT WAS DELICIOUS!!!

(BEST DECISION EVER!!!)

If Vanilla Pepsi doesn’t exist already, then it SHOULD! If it DOES then why don’t we see one on @Swiggy or in stores!? It's SUCH a good combo!

@gkcs_ Not particularly interested in AI at the moment (call me old-fashioned or out of touch if you will), but, regardless, I’ve been tuned in for a while, and I love your content. Thank you for all that you do to enrich the developer community! Cheers!

Announcing Popcorn, a new library that makes Elixir work in browsers!🍿

Over the last few months, @swmansion has been contributing to AtomVM, a tiny ErlangVM, and building a machinery around it to make a feasible solution for running @elixirlang in WebAssembly. And now it’s possible with Popcorn, just in a few simple steps 🔥

What a way to start this year’s @ElixirConfEU ! 🚀

This is a perfect encapsulation of liberal pathology. Say you need a copy of Introduction to Algorithms, a book on computer programming by Thomas H. Cormen, Charles E. Leiserson, Ronald L. Rivest, and Clifford Stein. You could buy the MIT-press-printed, industrially-produced volume from Amazon for $80, printed with chemical inks on cheap pulp paper in a warehouse the size of Nebraska, shipped across the country by diesel-chugging trucks in carbon-wrapped plastic, and funded by a publisher who thinks recursion is a sin and who has never implemented a priority queue in their life.

Or… you could just write your own algorithms. From scratch. With love. In your own time, by candlelight, sipping nettle tea brewed by your cousin Clevus (who runs a small batch, regenerative permacomputing commune where they hand-etch logic gates onto locally-sourced silicon wafers). It’s slower, yes. But it’s yours.

Why would I trust some sanitized, mass-produced pseudocode monstrosity over the tactile joy of implementing an O(n log n) mergesort with nothing but pure intent, a hand-carved keyboard, and a sense of ancestral memory? Why would I read about Dijkstra’s algorithm, when I can feel the shortest path in my soul, mapping it node by node across the terrain of my lived experience, guided not by some haughty lecture from Stein but by intuition passed down from a thousand years of oral graph theory tradition?

I rebuilt binary search last autumn, using only tools I forged from scraps of rusted metal and mathematical elegance. O(log n) — the log base 2, not the bloated base e those cosmopolitan cosmopoliticians keep trying to push. I don’t need their diagrams. I live the divide-and-conquer ethos. I divide my firewood that way. I conquered QuickSort in a single weekend by going into the woods and letting the recursive spirit of the trees guide me. Hoare? Never heard of her.

My cousin Clevus doesn’t use Red-Black Trees — he says they’re too "angry" and "structured." Instead, he’s invented his own naturally balancing shrub structure he calls the Willow Heap. Its amortized time complexity is ethically logarithmic. It flexes and sways with the access patterns, adapting in a way that respects both the data and the environment. His Fibonacci Heap? It uses actual Fibonacci numbers. He breeds them in his garden. Organically.

The liberal response? “Just buy the book. It has everything you need.” No, it doesn’t. It doesn’t have my values. It doesn’t have the handwritten annotations from Aunt Glenda on why hash collisions are like family feuds — rare, but explosive. It doesn’t come with the raw, unfiltered experience of implementing Kruskal’s algorithm while actually building a bridge across a creek to your neighbor’s Wi-Fi mesh.

Liberals would rather enslave themselves to Big-Oppression notation from globalist tenured professors who never touched a real tree or a real linked list in their lives. They don’t want to implement breadth-first search with breath and depth — they want to outsource it to cloud functions written in Typescript by interns in a server farm shaped like a Bezos head.

But I’ll keep doing it the real way. The slow way. The way of kinship, recursion, and truth. Because I don’t need an “Introduction to Algorithms.” I need no introduction. I’ve known them since birth.

@tsoding I have a completely unrelated question to ask here: what font is that?

[Aniruddha Sen @TheSilverNimbus]

@wylfcen @paolini “Fitness Foundry” is my pick.

[Aniruddha Sen @TheSilverNimbus]

@system76 The first one I installed? Linux Mint (Cinnamon), 2023.

I've since moved to Fedora (KDE) and am much happier with it.

Though, I've *used* RHEL, CentOS, and Ubuntu (Gnome) in the past.

@t3dotgg Given your comments on Flutter (in the video), what UI framework do you recommend for mobile apps?

[Aniruddha Sen @TheSilverNimbus]

Hey @FlutterFlow, how can I update a TextField's border width "On Focus Changed"?

(Take a look at this question I posted on the Community page, for more details:
https://t.co/9WZRAcltNs)

Note:
I can change the border color, icon color, and label color, but not the border width.

[Aniruddha Sen @TheSilverNimbus]

Hey @Dropout Team,

I find myself changing the font, background, and window opacity of the Closed Captions every time I watch any video on the site, and was wondering if there's a way to set my preferences once, in my personal settings, and apply it to all of the videos I stream.

[Aniruddha Sen @TheSilverNimbus]

3. Let me “bulk add” the queue to an existing playlist (e.g. Watch Later)

4. Auto-create a playlist w/ a default name at least, if you still want to clear the queue

★ Queue re-ordering (asc/desc) by: video length • title • creator • upload date • etc, would be helpful

2/2

[Aniruddha Sen @TheSilverNimbus]

@YouTube, thanks for the ability to add videos to a running “play queue”. I love it!

Just a few requests, though, if I may:

1. When I then cast the queue to my TV, via @Chromecast, please let me reorder the queue as before.

2. If/When the cast ends, DON'T CLEAR THE QUEUE.
