• What is the best platform to gift audiobooks to people who don’t use audible?

  Downpour.com allows people to download normal MP3s of purchases. They offer old-school CDs as well. So, no vendor lock-in there :). Source: 7 months ago

• Where to purchase audiobooks for long-term use on multiple devices? No subscriptions

  I agree about downpour.com - the vast majority (at least 99%) of the titles listed have no copy protection, so you don't have to worry about playing them only on a specific piece of equipment or specific software - any program and/or any device that will play MP3 or M4B files will work (plus you can play it online from their website).

• Why we chose Elixir

  After some time debating which technologies we should use, we decided to go with Elixir and Phoenix. In short, these tools gave us the productivity, stability, safety, and scalability (the company was planning on opening up the application to the public, with a new API added to the mix, so future performance was a bit of a concern) that seemed appropriate for the company's plans. - Source: dev.to / 3 days ago

• Install mutiple Erlang and Elixir with vfox

  If you've been using asdf to manage and maintain multiple versions of Erlang and Elixir, then vfox is also a good choice for you. - Source: dev.to / 2 months ago

• Perfect Elixir: Environment Setup

  I’m on MacOS and erlang.org, elixir-lang.org, and postgresql.org all suggest installation via Homebrew, which is a very popular package manager for MacOS. - Source: dev.to / 4 months ago

• Reliability in Legacy Software

  But regardless of their reasons, they'll note that the service is easily meeting its SLOs. It was written in a highly performant, if idiosyncratic language, and uses patterns which give it a high level of resilience and the ability to recover from many situations automatically. The service is steady as a rock, and left to its own devices will more or less chug along indefinitely once deployed. - Source: dev.to / 4 months ago

• Meet entr, the standalone file watcher

  As you might have guessed, one of the main use cases for entr is to rerun tests whenever files change. I'm an Elixir engineer, and I use entr to run mix test continuously whenever I save an Elixir file. - Source: dev.to / 8 months ago
