@christhekeele Yeah but does yours work for you actually in IEx.exs? The issue was in importing the module defined inline, it’s a neat trick, just wondering why/if it works for you not me, what’s your Erlang and elixir version? Wouldn’t think this changed recently though
@christhekeele Plus obviously still need the IEx.configure line after, couldn't fit in tweet. Otherwise, I get:
** (CompileError) .iex.exs:14: module CustomIEXHelpers is not loaded but was defined. This happens when you depend on a module in the same context in which it is defined.
@christhekeele So, this didn't work for me in my ~/.iex.exs as is, though it worked pasted in... to make it work directly from my .iex.exs, I had edit to this:
{:module, mod, _bin, _nil} = defmodule CustomIEXHelpers do
def iex(n), do: IEx.Helpers.v(n)
end
quote do
import unquote(mod)
end
Oklahoma plans to kill Richard Glossip on May 18. The state's own attorney general has said that this would be a "grave injustice," but other people in Oklahoma are determined to go ahead and kill him. Sound crazy? Keep reading; it gets crazier.
@neilhimself I’m finally getting around to Sandman overture and reading the intro and… is this a joke I’m not getting? A typo? Another burble that no-one caught? 🤣 Hope Todd wasn’t insulted! 🙃
@neilhimself@VanityFair Yeah iunclear/there is a cut around there, don’t know why they’d intentionally misquote you unless you talked about both at greater length than they wanted and they just didn’t notice the effect 🤷🏻♂️ I was pretty sure you knew, but wasn’t sure if you watched video/could tell which
@neilhimself no judgment; did @VanityFair mis-edit the video to imply gates of ivory are what true dreams come through, or did you just misspeak in the moment? (~13:20). Just curious, for a minute I did a double take and thought I had them wrong all these years! 🤣
@iteamon@PepsiCo EComm is hiring Elixir heavily! Cc @PepsiCoJOBS it’s essentially a startup culture/process within Pepsi, been there a year now and highly recommended!
Explicit is not better than implicit.
A good abstraction elevates the stuff that matters to your program and hides the stuff that doesn't matter to your program.
A bad abstraction hides stuff that matters to your program, nags you about stuff that doesn't matter, or both.
Those of us who remember when open source was the novel underdog, allowing us to learn, grow, and build things our proprietary peers could not - we tend to see the relationship to corp $ in OSS as a net benefit, pretty much always.
@scottyweeks I felt this way until a friend introduced me to #HPMOR https://t.co/erbsPGryVW . It helps that the motivation was less about love of Harry Potter per se, and more a clever Trojan Horse for educational propaganda, but still.
@chimeracoder The list made me wonder briefly if Mudge and Brandur were also @recursecenter alums, shame they don’t do fellowships anymore, might make easier to round out the list! 🤣
