I used to use the contagion comparison for tech debt, but I think magical piles of shit that never get smaller after stepping in them is a better comparison.
Sooner or later if you don't clean them up everything's going to be covered in shit.
hey @kapeli! Three questions (because I keep thinking of more😄)
1. Is there a way to have full-text search "stay" enabled when it downloads a new version of a docset? Or some way to do a global setting like "enable full-text indexing for everything by default"
@kapeli It seems to happen for all of my docsets? I'd say 90% of my docsets with FTS are Elixir, and of the remaining, I don't think they've updated in a while, so although those are still "enabled", I can't say whether that's something about the Hex/Elixir docsets, or not :-/
@kapeli ah ok, thanks :)
I didn't realize the level of support you gave them <3
I'll take a look at Zeal's repo and see if I can figure out how to contribute the feature I was thinking about
3. I'm sure you get asked this a lot, but are there plans to support a Linux version? I know there's Zeal, but it seems like the HexDocs searching/downloading isn't supported, and I assume that's something y'all have written internally (?)
Mobile? (aw man, I'd even write it)
2. Is there a way to customize "when" the left sidebar shows up? e.g. Elixir docs are phenomenal, but "discovery" of new things is a little more difficult nowadays. I understand if this a huge can of worms/bugs
@KelpieJethro@SunnySkyes53@1AJBarrett@morethanmySLE No, that's just how it was originally pitched and paid for. The fed. govt. has the authority to tax and pay for roads/bridges because it is vital to interstate commerce which is firmly the domain of the fed. govt. Also Pursuit of Happiness is from the Declaration of Independence
@KelpieJethro@BridgetD17 @Ivarr_Rune @1AJBarrett@morethanmySLE That exact argument has failed twice in front of the Supreme Court, and more generally a third time in the 80s. The federal government has the authority to tax and distribute funds for the general welfare.

I just found the coolest site in the world. Maybe @planetmoney could do an episode on a corporate or money laundering version of six degrees of Kevin Bacon

And if you want to try building a mobile app with Elixir LiveView as well go ahead and give Elixir-Desktop https://t.co/xvgV5uZ90x a go and the iOS example app https://t.co/1H0C2mMm93
To resolve the question: "Can you create an iOS app using Elixir?". Diode Drive just hit the App Store https://t.co/6zWYRPnAGZ and Google Play https://t.co/WsaxVQu9B8

@solnic29a I've used Spex or Norm, and OpenApiSpex (not related) for openapi stuff. I've used schemaless Ecto changesets as well but it always felt weird and clunky and not the right fit. There are other libraries that have better ergonomics and wrap Ecto but I never fell in love w/them
@josevalim I’m sorry you have to deal with people like this. Thanks for all the work you’ve done. I’ve built an entire career on work you gave away for free and I’ll be forever grateful for that.
