Platner needs to negotiate with the Dem party a replacement candidate who shares his politics, but is a good person.
I'm working on Zap's concurrency model today. The basics I'm toying with: Conceptually similar to the BEAM where each process is isolated, supervised, has its own memory manager (currently have ARC, Arena, and GC managers to choose from), and uses message passing.

Getting the LLMs to write Zap code leveraging pattern matching is proving challenging. First image is how a Simd.reduce function was written. Second is how it should be written.
The number of times I keep getting bitten by how slow marshalling data from a BEAM process to a NIF and back is really exposing how problematic the BEAM is for so many use cases that require real performance.

Good for Talarico. There's a huge issue on the far left with outright racism towards Jewish people. You can have take issue with Israel but don't let that position apply to all Jews.

Major progress on Zap over the past few days. I introduced some very difficult perf benchmarks which exposed a Zig IR lowering retain issue with the ARC memory mgmt model. These three benchmarks were recording 7GB - 13GB of memory. Now memory is on par with other major languages.
This guy is accusing me of being a racist and mysoginist because I mostly follow Elixir devs on here. Bluesky is not a serious place.
@liberallibrarian.bsky.social It was literally party policy to lose working class voters in favor of winning over more affluent voters www.c-span.org/clip/public-...

I love all of the dipshit arm-chair social media warriors coming out of the woodwork on this. Only on bluesky. God damn this platform is a complete waste. Democrats *were* the working class party. They had country-wide union support. Then they decided they wanted to get rich and favored white collar
Brian Cardarella@bcardarella.bsky.social · 3mo agoThis shows how the city Dems look down on the working class. The Democratic party was this guy's party. Why did the Dems lose him? Because they left him behind, not the other way around. If the Democrats want to *earn* voters like this back they need to stop talking down to them.

On the night of her election loss Kat Abughazaleh vowed to "continue the fight" and that despite the loss the movement was just getting started and a bunch of other empty platitudes... then she immediately got a job at CNN. What a joke.
Glad to see the the old bag Janet Mills finally drop out. Paving the way for Platner, the people's choice.

Because tailwind_compiler is written in @ziglang.bsky.social I can build an in-browser compiler pretty easily by targeting Wasm. Here is a demo Try for yourself: beaconcms.github.io/tailwind_com... The full @tailwindcss.com v4 tailwind_compiler is a 122kb Wasm asset
Heat pumps are increasingly becoming required by regulations and thus suppliers are intentionally over pricing them to make more money. Meanwhile, "get 'er done" installers are forced to install them in low ventilation locations where they are completely ineffective and provide worse outcomes.
Jan Rosenow@janrosenow.bsky.social · 4mo agoHeat pumps are the most efficient heating technology ever invented. They harvest and compress pre existing heat in the air, ground or water and transport it where it is needed. That energy is all around us. And it does not have to pass through the Strait of Hormuz.
I've completed the Zig 0.16 update for Zap. Now just waiting on the linux builds to complete then I can push.
Decided to look into what the 0.15.2 -> 0.16.0 upgrade for Zap's Zig fork would require. Two hours later and I'm nearly ready to push it all up. Async will still wait for now but Zap should get some nice additional optimizations especially from the newer LLVM.
With Zig 0.16 now out I'm going to continue to work with Zig 0.15 for now for Zap. I may update Zap's Zig fork once 0.16.1 comes out but the big feature I was hoping for is Io.Evented but that's still marked as experimental.
I'm declaring victory on the Beacon CMS memory issues
Wrote tailwind_compiler in Zig with an Elixir NIF wrapper that has an order of magnitude faster Tailwind v4 compilation compared to Tailwind CLI v4. This is for Beacon, API is being adjusted for Beacon. Feel free to use but I won't be accepting PRs. github.com/beaconcms/ta...
New eager loading feature, which is configurable per site in Beacon. if cache is cold on first hit it kicks off the cache warming job then will show this temp page until the site is available. Stampeding herds are properly managed as well.
She ducked off for a bit. There were more important things to address. It is our absolute pleasure to welcome Quinn Wilton back. Last I handed her a mic she threw DIY dental care to people. I think this one is about Elixir... www.goatmire.com/talk/a-hundr... #elixirlang #goatmire

"Let it crash" is the BEAM's answer to failure: processes crash, supervisors restart them, and the system recovers. That confidence is earned, but some bugs hide behind it. They live in the gaps…
