If you’ve done your share of leetcode-style interviewing, and you’re above a certain age, you may have been asked during a technical screen to write a program that determines if a linke…
I hacked on something quite useful in the last few weeks, off and on. Voice Activity Detection in Elixir with Silero VAD through ONNX. I'll show what I did and try to give an idea of what it is and why it is useful.
What feels like forever ago but what was probably a year and a half I gave a talk about Lively LiveView with Membrane. Video is available for the curious. It was a stunt talk but also a talk about creativity and how Elixir let's me plug things together and try things that feel magical. That feeling has never left me.
Effortless Video Sharing with Phoenix LiveView and FLAME
As someone who loves experimenting with new technologies, I recently got the Vision Pro (I’m a big fan of VR and the idea of working in mixed reality). What excites me the most is sharing the cool stuff I discover, with my friends and colleagues, like how amazing it is to have a floating 3D […]
One of the Erlang ecosystem's spiciest nerd snipes are hot code updates. Because it can do it. In ways that almost no other runtime can. I use Elixir which builds on Erlang and has the same capabilities.

Tower: Universal and Agnostic Elixir Exception Tracker
Tower is a flexible exception tracker for elixir applications. It listens for errors in an elixir application and informs about them to the configured list of reporters, that can report to 3rd party tracking services, store in your local database, message to slack or e-mail.
Avoiding recompilation hell in Elixir with mix xref
Recompilation hell: what it feels like Elixir is an amazing language and it’s been a huge privilege being able to work with it for over a decade now (how time flies)!\nI’d like to point out an issue that, if overlooked, can severely impact productivity in your team. Yes, I’m talking about module (re)compilation.\nYou make a few changes to a single file in your codebase and hit recompile. Boom: Compiling 93 files (.ex). Then you make another change and boom: Compiling 103 files (.ex).\n
How to use Jina embeddings in Elixir with Bumblebee | bitcrowd blog
When directly compared with OpenAI's 8K model text-embedding-ada-002, the jina-embeddings-v2 stand out in terms of quality. Their long context length is a game changer. Don't let a missing model implementation stop you from realizing your awesome AI project in Elixir. Instead, follow three steps to convert a Python model to Elixir.
Build a Static Site in Elixir Under 5 Minutes with Phoenix Components
Learn how to quickly build a static blog site using Elixir and Phoenix components. This guide covers converting markdown files to HTML, using MDEx, Nimble Publisher and rendering Phoenix components for a dynamic yet static blog experience.
In Elixir, once you have clustering set up, it's ridiculously easy to run some code on another node in your cluster:
Node.spawn(:"[email protected]", fn -
# This runs on a different node
send(self(), node())
end)
receive do
response - IO.puts "Got response:
I love parsing! I really do. There's something very satisfying about converting input into usable data structures that help me accomplish some task.
Parsing is important. How well we construct those data structures and the quality of the structures we choose can massively impact the work that comes after. We should probably all be worrying about parsing a little more than we do.
The good news is that Elixir is the best language I have ever worked with for doing serious parsing. Let's prove it. Let's pull the data out of a SQLite database file using vanilla Elixir and some tricks from my Scrappy Programmer Livebook series. (You don't need to have read that to follow along with this article. Everyone is welcome.)
