Fun fact, in #ElixirLang 1.20, there's a new `mix test` flag: `--dry-run`. It should help you when making large changes to a test suite, like version upgrades! Try it out: `mix test --warnings-as-errors --dry-run` github.com/elixir-lang/elixi… #MyElixirStatus

Elixir v1.20 released! Now officially a gradually typed language: Elixir type checks every single line of code, finding bugs and dead code, without developer overhead (no typing signatures) and extremely low false positives rate. Plus a faster compiler! Links and reports below.

i love how people are saying "if we write a sufficiently detailed specification, the agent can write all our code" do you know what writing a sufficiently detailed specification that deterministically maps to what a computer's actions is? it's coding

Ghostty is leaving GitHub. I'm GitHub user 1299, joined Feb 2008. I've visited GitHub almost every single day for over 18 years. It's never been a question for me where I'd put my projects: always GitHub. I'm super sad to say this, but its time to go. mitchellh.com/writing/ghostt…

This is either brilliant or scary: Anthropic accidentally leaked the TS source code of Claude Code (which is closed source). Repos sharing the source are taken down with DMCA. BUT this repo rewrote the code using Python, and so it violates no copyright & cannot be taken down!

Apparently there's some confusion about the advantages of BEAM, so I'll shamelessly self-plug my GOTO talk which aims to present this in a short demo-driven story (based on the true events I've encountered in varius production systems). youtube.com/watch?v=JvBT4XBd…
This is why I’m unimpressed by Erlang/Elixir: every major language runtime has VERY high-quality M:N work-stealing “thread” schedulers with good APIs (structured concurrency), and the “isolated processes” and “RPC” got pushed up to an orchestration layer (DC/OS, Nomad, k8s…)

We are aware of recent reports regarding targeted phishing attacks that have resulted in account takeovers of some Signal users, including government officials and journalists. We take this very seriously. To be clear: Signal’s encryption and infrastructure have not been compromised and remain robust. These attacks were executed via sophisticated phishing campaigns, designed to trick users into sharing information – SMS codes and/or Signal PIN – to gain access to users’ accounts. 1/4

We have converted our Livebook Desktop app to Tauri. If you're using Livebook, please give it a try by downloading the nightly builds: github.com/livebook-dev/live… Our goal is to extract the Tauri integration as a separate package to make it easier for people to ship Tauri+Elixir.

We just published a new blog post on the state of search and the critical need for open index access. The dawn of a healthier, user-centric web is possible, but it requires structural change. blog.kagi.com/waiting-dawn-s…
