Elixir Outlaws, 02/22/2022 On today’s episode of the Elixir Outlaws, Amos and Sean are going to talk about authentication and authorization in applications as well as creating starter applications. The forms work great for air handling and everything inside of Phoenix if you are using a changeset otherwise, you got a lot of hand jamming for yourself, says Amos. Episode Highlights JavaScript has buttons to add fields or remove fields, things like that, but it is up to you if you decide that you are going to do it with live view. Changesets don’t work super well with a list. If Amos tries to put in one thing in the list, which is already in the list, it is overriding the whole list. For the invoice cases, whenever we want to add an item to the list, all those changes that are currently there will cause ripping o

Elixir Outlaws, 19/02/2022 On today’s episode of the Elixir Outlaws, Chris Keathley and Sean Cribbs are going to talk about Embedded Systems, Microcontrollers, Rust, Raspberry Pi, Zig, etc. There is a compelling benefit of Rust, you can’t use this block of memory, and you can check that at compile time. There is a whole class of memory problems that Rust is stopping you from being able to interact with, but you kind of give it all up. If you dump the thing on a single-threaded, single-core M0 processor. Episode Highlights Zig is very appropriate for the embedded stuff, because if you are dealing with it, then you give up a lot of the benefits of Rust in an embedded context, says Chris. There is a lot to work with Rust to, like write wrappers around unsafe type things to the point where you aren’t really getting

Elixir Outlaws, 09/02/2022 On today’s episode of the Elixir Outlaws, Amos and Sean are going to talk about what other models and frameworks are out there for building web apps. The plug has some stuff that looks like Sinatra, but the responses were not what Sean expected in some places. Many people recommended the web machine and the surprising elixir plug. A big point of a web machine is to build something that conforms to the semantics in the RFCs as much as possible. It’s kind of hard for most web frameworks Sean has used, aside from web machines. Episode Highlights In a web machine, your resources are the main thing you work with, and it is a module with a bunch of optional callbacks that you can implement. In a web machine, you have controllers, routers, and dispatch lists that you match over. If you have d

Elixir Outlaws, 01/25/2021 On today’s episode of the Elixir Outlaws, Amos and Sean are going to share their technical knowledge and insight on various topics. Amos has been doing a lot of surface-ui work. The surface is a component library for live view. The surface has some excellent features built-in how they handle CSS. Sean hasn’t looked at the Template: Anchor yet, but he has heard mixed things about many people who feel like the eText templates have improved things. Episode Highlights The Troubles with form versus dot form feel like a limitation of the template language should unify those things, says Sean. JSX - React said you could use HTML moments wherever you want, but we are going to turn them into our DOM construction functions that produce the objects with assigned properties from context, says Sea

Elixir Outlaws, 01/19/2021 On today’s episode of the Elixir Outlaws, Sean Cribbs and Chris will talk about WASM (Web assembly) to implement some core parts of the app and discuss the server-side too. Rusts for loop syntax is sugar for iterators, says Sean. So, you can also sort of do method chaining type thing in rust. There is an interesting proposal on the Elixir form for loops. Episode Highlights FOR loops are not loops, they are a special form in the compiler, basically a macro with special privileges that generates some code, says Sean. As per Sean, if you have a lead, then you have for loop variable, and you have to return a two-two pole that has the accumulator as the second, or if you don’t, then it is just the accumulator that becomes quite confusing. Chris says that when one uses MapReduce and has FOR

This week our hosts celebrate their 100th episode. The talk about their favorite moments from the show. A transcript of this episode can be found on Binary Noggin's website: https://binarynoggin.com/blog/episode-100-pop-tartare/

The main topic this week is behaviours and protocols and when to use both. Chris, inspired by the wisdom of Quinn Wilton, thinks that its probably incorrect to use Behaviours to define public interfaces for APIs. Protocols seem to fit the bill better. Both hosts agree that the best kind of dependency injection is just called, "passing arguments to functions".
