Is there a manufacturer you prefer over others in the budget segment?

I haven't finished it but I started playing Sable for a bit. There's no attack mechanics at all and it's fun to explore. The art style is also very nice to look at IMO.

This was improved in a recent release. Did you try with the latest version?

We are using Basecamp as a team and have been really happy with it. I think their free tier should work well for a single person and I could see myself using it if I was working solo.

I want to use Elixir more for my side projects but it's honestly really easy to get going with services like Vercel or Netlify and SvelteKit. Also coming from Next.js and SvelteKit, I got kind of used to the file-based routing and it creates some friction for me when trying to use Phoenix.

I want to contribute some sort of guide to the community for people coming from JS metaframeworks, rather than Rails/MVC frameworks, but I feel like I need to use Phoenix more first. I'm just about finished with Sophie and Bruce's book!

If I recall correctly, Saša Jurić mentioned in an interview that he envisions the BEAM being used as an OS in the future, where you can run your database, web server and other services under one VM.

While I don't personally have much use for it (at the moment), I'm curious about how this would look like with Lumen [0] where you can run your whole web stack with a single binary and being internally supervised by the BEAM.

Lumen's development has been slow but I remember seeing a tweet from a team member stating that development is slowly ramping back up (not a criticism in any way, just providing some context).

Also check out the Sawbones podcast about it! https://maximumfun.org/episodes/sawbones/sawbones-man-who-at... It goes a bit more in depth.

I made a purchase with my MIL's credit card on my account. It got blocked because of the name mismatch and they asked for bank statement for proof. The card got stolen in the meantime, my MIL lost the last bank statement for that card and she didn't have access to online banking.

They said they couldn't do anything unless I submitted the bank statement with the CC number. I told them to just delete all the cards from my account but that wasn't an option either.

That was around 5 years ago and I still don't have access to that account and I'm expecting to never be able to get in again.

Fly posted a sort of related blog post about IPv4

José Valim (creator of Elixir) will be streaming his solutions on Twitch. Thought that might be interesting for you.

Something like UBF might be interesting to you: https://ubf.github.io/ubf/

In case anyone is curious about dithering in the context of audio, here[0] is an excellent video on that.

From what I've seen, most Elixir questions are answered on Elixirforum. You might want to try searching there first or even asking yourself. You usually get fast, friendly and helpful responses (which sometimes turn into interesting discussions!).

I've been meaning to build a similar project for my SO. I want is to be able to connect the rotary phone via bluetooth for calls (only calls) and dialing if possible. Has anyone worked with anything similar that can provide some pointers?

I'm guessing the dialer part should be "simple" as I could probably connect an Arduino as if it were a keyboard but can't find much on the audio part.

Would you happen to know if you (the company) hire international candidates?

Octal lets you comment from the app, if that’s something you are missing.

Why is that? I remember reading about the scheduler not being able to correctly "attach" to each core when using Docker but it seems that's not the case anymore. Is there any other disadvantage you perceive?

Also, if you have piped functions you can now use `|> tap(&IO.inspect(&1.a))`at any point (requires 1.12).

For Elixir, Oban is a great library that allows the same, in case anyone was looking for one.

Someone shared a boilerplate template on the Elixir subreddit the other day, might help out. Can't really recommend anything for Stripe, though. From what I've seen people usually use Stripity Stripe.

It's not. Robert Virding confirmed it in the Elixir Wizards podcast.

Likewise with my HD58x. I also love small phones and want to switch to the 12 mini, but my SE 2020 works perfectly fine so it's hard to justify.

Can't really use it in Firefox on Windows, the drum track isn't synced to the synths.

Related to your open back headphones comment: I hate using closed back/ noise canceling headphones while talking in calls. Fortunately, I don't have anyone around me so I don't need them but I can't imagine having to use them and listening to my own voice through my skull.

I'm currently using the HD58X but I might look into getting the SHPs as a "beater" pair with the VModa mic.

I was planning on getting the J&J because I will most likely only be able to get one dose. Is a single dose of the mRNA vaccines effective in any meaningful way?

It really is. I think this is one of the features they (Mozilla) spend some more resources into. It's really unique and could drive non-tech savvy users to it.

My reading list is currently around 80% non-fiction (technical) books.

I'm trying to read again as much as I once did but I'm overwhelming myself with all the options; I end up not reading anything because of choice paralysis. I also end up not even reading non-technical books because reading the technical ones is more "important" to me (which it might/should not even be the case)

I'd be happy to hear any advice from anyone who had the same issue.

Hey I hope you don't mind a bit of constructive criticism: you should look into getting a pop filter for your mic. I'm very sensible to pops and esses so it might not bother others but it's a very cheap upgrade that you might want to consider :)

You can also experiment by placing at a 45°angle (point the mic towards your mouth, not your mouth towards the mic) and placing it slightly sideways. It'll help with sibilances and pops.

Anyways, thanks for sharing the video, I was actually looking for an overview of SvelteKit's features.
