Horde [0] is a really interesting Elixir library for distributed, self-healing state using CRDT

The first excellent episode of British TV series Inside No. 9 revolves around a game of Sardines. Wholeheartedly recommended, for pitch-perfect Brit dark humour

Thank you for this comment! As someone who fell in love with Derek Jacobi's voice since recently watching Kenneth Branagh's Henry V (my favourite opening ever), that's definitely something for me!

Perhaps not as technically impressive, but this [0] other short game/experience from the same creator is extraordinarily charming and well produced!

Wow, nice use of sexism to annihilate any quality that could be attributed to your comment.
Please don’t.

That is one of the most wholesome things I’ve ever read, thank you!

To those inspired by this achievement to look more into polar expeditions, I can highly recommend Michael Palin’s “Erebus”. It’s a riveting read on the challenges, successes, and tragedies of the British explorer ship Erebus, its commanders, officers, and crews.

Apologies if this is incorrect (on my phone atm) but I've been using <space> as leader for two years now, and have never ever noticed lag in insert mode.
Perhaps it's a setting you have enabled/disabled, or unrelated to vim?

That video is extremely impressive! Colour me excited

The multi-touch extension sounds amazing. I went to try it, but it doesn't seem to work. I see the little dialog in the bottom right corner when I have my fingers on the trackpad, but nothing happens on keystroke.
It's mostly definitely due to the recent update to Sierra. If you do use Sierra, have you managed to make it work?
lucidstack | 9 years ago | on: Rosetta catches dusty organics
It's fascinating how brilliant this solution is. Let it slowly bounce on the comet, so that the rebounce velocity is very low, it doesn't affect the comet trajectory in any way, and they're collecting data during the slow descent. Nice.
lucidstack | 9 years ago | on: Announcing GenStage
This looks incredible, congratulations to the Elixir team!
Perhaps more exciting than the first part of the post is the second bit about the future. It's fantastic to see such a clear path forward for concurrency in Elixir. Definitely looking forward to GenStage.Flow
lucidstack | 9 years ago | on: Phoenix 1.2
Fantastic week for the Erlang/Elixir ecosystem!
Another thanks to the teams behind all these amazing releases, and particularly (for this news) Phoenix.Presence and Phoenix.PubSub, for the wide range of new exciting applications they'll have.

This comment from Reddit sums it up pretty well: https://www.reddit.com/r/elixir/comments/3gd1n3/what_are_the...
I just discovered about HiPE as well, and I just gave it a try with a simple fibonacci module. Running fibonacci(40) went from 3.9s BEAM to 0.7s HiPE.
I know it's a silly test, but it's pretty sweet to witness such a massive difference out of the box. :)
