A few apps won't work.

It's not as customizable as Samsung for instance.

It only runs on Pixel phones (next year hopefully some Motorola phones).

Anecdotal of course but I've found that they're excellent at debugging and analysing Kubernetes issues.

That difference is like comparing taking a piss and having sex. While you use the same body part the experiences are not at all alike.

Our CEO bragged about him "just building stuff" now (vibe coding) while outsourcing his other tasks to AI.

I don't think that's the flex he thinks it is.

New comment by lawn in "Elixir v1.20: Now a gradually typed language"

lawn — Wed, 03 Jun 2026 20:30:40 +0000

Gleam doesn't have macros, which many Elixir libraries (such as Phoenix and Ecto) uses to great effect.

Gleam for example has issues with verbosity of decoding/encoding json whereas in Rust you derive serde and in Elixir it's just a function call away.

Elixir has a more mature ecosystem. While you can for example use Phoenix with Gleam (or some other Gleam framework) the experience just isn't the same.

The big draw with Gleam over Elixir is the typing (where Elixir is now closing the gap) and being able to compile to JavaScript (which is also what Hologram is doing for Elixir).

I prefer Gleam's typing system and the Rust-like syntax, but for now I feel Elixir is the better choice for all my web dev projects.

You can have two thoughts at the same time.

It's good that Iran is teaching USA and Israel a lesson, while Iran (also) being bad guys.

Cool, thank you.

I had some bugs with moving between a laptop and desktop and pack's lockfile kept getting out of sync, and pack didn't handle it well and sometimes even crashed. My build script also sometimes didn't work properly. I just got tired of dealing with it so I went back to lazy.nvim as it just works and does what I need.

I've been using Fennel to write my Neovim configurations and it's been really nice. The setup is a bit annoying but once there it's pretty nice.

Some details about my setup (although I've moved back to lazy.nvim instead of vim.pack): https://www.jonashietala.se/blog/2025/10/29/packing_neovim_w...

I don't understand why people are using the API pricing instead of the Pro/Max subscriptions? What am I missing?

None and I don't want to.

If I did I would host it on a VPS and make it public.

Get a VORON printer and get a kit.

They're completely open (both software and hardware) and you can mod and do whatever the hell you want with them.
