Erlang Solutions: Reduce, Reuse… Refactor: Clearer Elixir with the Enum Module

“When an operation cannot be expressed by any of the functions in the Enum module, developers will most likely resort to reduce/3.”

From the docs for Enum.reduce/3

In many Elixir applications, I find Enum.reduce is used frequently. Enum.reduce can do anything, but that doesn’t mean it should. In many cases, other Enum functions are more readable, practically as fast, and easier … ⌘ Read more

[$] Some nonstring turbulence
New compiler releases often bring with them new warnings; those warnings
are usually welcome, since they help developers find problems before they
turn into nasty bugs. Adapting to new warnings can also create disruption
in the development process, though, especially when an important developer
upgrades to a new compiler at an unfortunate time. This is just the
scenario that played out with the [6.15-rc3\
kernel release](https://lwn.net/ml/all/CAHk-=wgjZ4fzDKogXwhPXVMA7OmZf9k0o1oB2FJmv-C1e=typA@mail. … ⌘ Read more

In-reply-to » on timeline the mention looks OK. Is there an issue on Yarn?

@eapl.me@eapl.me I wouldn’t call it natural, it is the way Bluesky decided to handle handles (not meaning to make a pun, or anything). There is no other way, but that.

The bottomline is, there are agreed upon “standards”, right? From example, on Yarnd you show as “eapl.me”, from “eapl.me”. A kind of weird redundancy because on twtxt, ever since I started using it, one will expect to see a “nick” (equivalent to a person’s first name), from “a domain” (like a surname).

There is nothing holding back someone from giving themselves the nick:

In-reply-to » @andros maybe create a separate, completely distinct feed for DM? That way, clients do not need to do anything, only those wanted to "talk in private" follow themselves, using their very special dm-only.txt feeds. 😂

by commenting out DMs are you giving up on simplicity? See the Metadata extension holding the data inside comments, as the client doesn’t need to show it inside the timeline.

I don’t think that commenting out DMs as we are doing for metadata is giving up on simplicity (it’s a feature already), and it helps to hide unwanted DMs to clients that will take months to add it’s support to something named… an extension.

For some other extensions in https://twtxt.dev/extensions.html (for example the reply-to hash #abcdfeg or the mention @ < example http://example.org/twtxt.txt >) is not a big deal. The twt is still understandable in plain text.
For DM, it’s only interesting for you if you are the recipient, otherwise you see an scrambled message like 1234567890abcdef=. Even if you see it, you’ll need some decryption to read it. I’ve said before that DMs shouldn’t be in the same section that the timeline as it’s confusing.
