- codeadictMolt bé!
- Still working on my favicon fetching API: https://fetchfavicon.com. Currently adding comparison pages with other services. Also learning a lot of SEO and video editing for https://soulfulsabor.com, a food blog that I started with my wife.
- My absolute one would be Don Quijote de La Mancha by Cervantes - Taught me the beauty of language, to follow my own ideas and the power of a little craziness. Second would be anything from Jules Verne, his books got me to love science and engineering when I was a kid.
- Im working on yet another "what's my IP address?" site: https://ipparrot.net for the fun of it. It's written in Elixir and currently working on adding a structured whois tool and plan to add more networking tools. You can also use curl like:
- Yeah, we killed the mosquitoes that don't let us sleep and gave us Dengue every month because the gov can't provide electricity and if you protest you dissapear to jail
- My Latin American friends working in construction would not believe this, they are paid crap, and is the American construction company owner who pockets most of the money.
- Shameless plug since i'm a contributor but VerneMQ [1] is a pretty programmable one. You have options from using webhooks to writting your plugins in Lua or Erlang/Elixir.
- These 3 reasons ring closely, its what i see in my own family. They are Cuban and came here older and have never bothered to learn the language mostly out of fear of being too old or loosing their culture. They also have their own micro country were they can get Spanish speaking doctors, jobs and community to socialize. They can go months without hearing a word in English. Confidence is big to learn a language, my own kids are 5 and 6 and they can write / read and speak Spanish and English and speak in french but my son is less extroverted and fallsback more to English on front of people.
- Nice, I have been doing this twice per week two and the results in my mood are awesome. The waves have been a bit wild this week at my local beach but hoping it comes back to quiet to go back again
- I crossed the Darien gap escaping from Cuba to the US. I still have nightmares about it 8 years later, the nature was impressing now that i think back and we found some nice/helpful communities there but got some kind of parasite on my feet from crossing a river and had to stay 10 days in a village taking herbs to continue the path.
- This is exactly what the Oban https://getoban.pro/ Elixir library uses and combining postgres plus actors for queues scales pretty great for 90% of the needs out there. I have used it at my last few jobs at pretty decent scale and would take it over 10 years using Celery to manage queues + supervisord, setting up RabbitMQ or Redis. Its so simple you only need Elixir and Postgres and not 3 or 4 infrastructure pieces to manage a queue.
- Indeed, i'm Cuban and we might sound like "Graciah a Diò".
- Gardening/permaculture communities. Also, my kids preschool parents, its small, at least 80% of the parents are immigrants with another language other than English. We all share similar values and the struggles of learning the language. Before that mountaineering and Linux User Group where the places to have good friends.
- They acquired frame.io that is completely written in Elixir
- Are you open to hiring from Europe? I'm a US citizen and currently spend 2 months here but living in Spain most of the year
- permies.com is a great community. I do a lot of gardening and have mostly learn from trial and error as well as permaculture blogs and books. Every zone is different so you probably wanna focus on your specific climate and the species that grow there unless you wanna learn general botany just for fun.
- The US is pretty evil and sanctions on Cuba just affect regular people on the island and keep Florida politicians alive, but Cuba is way eviler. They don't export doctors, they do human trafficking for the enrichment of the communists and their families. Many of my friends were sent to Brazil and Venezuela as doctors, of the 3000 a month dollars the governments of these countries paid them, they only got $200 a month and the gov kept the rest while they were risking their life's in bad neighborhoods and very isolated places in the Amazonas. Does this money go back to help the regular citizen? Nope, it goes to Castro's families and the other new commies that are in power now, there is more poverty, and there are very few hours of electricity in a day right now, there is hunger compared to or worse than Africa and Haiti, there is repression and incarceration of young people who are protesting regularly, including 16-year-old kids and young women. It's that the embargo fault, nope completely, there is no production of anything, communists steal everything for their own enrichment from the government companies. Their media brags about the doctor exports and being a medical potency, yet my mom spent 4 months in pain to see a doctor because all of them have been exported or young ones left the country. There are zero medicines and one person in my family almost died of COVID if they didn't move fast and bribe the hospital director with dollars and suddenly there was medicine. Did they help fight apartheid in Africa? Yep and that was nice but they sent people against their will there, people who were kids and were in the mandatory military service, if you refused to go they did acts of repudiation (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acts_of_repudiation) with your neighbors and got a job was hard or impossible after you said no. I still know people traumatized from that war.

- How to format an existing codebase without messing git history. Using the VerneMQ project with `erlfmt` as an example.
