Regular ProgrammingAbout Endings and BeginningsAndreas' place of work ceased to exist.It was mostly a relief.The main worry is about resting and recovering enough before whatever comes next begins. All the learnings about how not to do certain things live on.The right way of doing those things still remains to be learned.Lars is on the other end of the spectrum: beginning completely new things. Figuring out where exactly Delaware is, finding a Nerves-shaped Elixir hole, wading through Python scripts, and so much more.Also: Why not attend the Øredev developer c...2024-08-0528 min
Regular ProgrammingAbout EmbeddedEmbedded is a weird thing. Lars is all Nerves and tries to explain and report from a world where people know part numbers off the top of their heads. The physical device missing is rarely a thing that happens in web development.Embedded-style work can sneak into other areas as well. Without a root file system, everything is a lot more secure. Security is a deep topic in general, and WPA is not just for wifi.Andreas shares his view of what "embedded" means, plus the story of building a really bad audio cable.2024-06-2437 min

Elixir WizardsEmbedded Systems in Elixir vs. C, C++, and Java with Connor Rigby & Taylor BartoThis week on Elixir Wizards, Connor Rigby, Software Engineer at SmartRent, and Taylor Barto, Lead Embedded Software Engineer at Eaton, join Sundi Myint to compare notes on embedded systems development with Elixir, C, C++, and Java. They discuss using Elixir and the Nerves framework for firmware projects versus more traditional choices like C. The guests ask one another questions and gain valuable insights into challenges, tooling, resources, and more across different embedded ecosystems.
In this episode, the guests expand their perspectives and demystify the concept of embedded systems for engineers outside the field. This cross-language exchange of...2023-11-1646 min
Regular ProgrammingAbout Teaching Functional ProgrammingHow to teach functional programming? What are the proper steps, beyond the first ones? Especially when you can't or don't want to point to a framework and say "we do it this way!"Lars outlines his ideas for teaching Elixir to someone without requiring any prior programming experience.There is also discussion of mapping, reducing, and representing one in terms of the other. Also things which are better in Haskell than Elixir, perfectly named modules, and - inevitably - why you don't just use Rust instead.LinksChalmersCakeMLElixir in action - Saša...2022-12-1939 min

Elixir WizardsElixir Wizards Dojo: Nerves Part 1 with Frank Hunleth and Justin SchneckWelcome to the first part of our extra special Elixir Wizards Dojo. A mashup made in partnership with ElixirConf Japan, in today’s episode, we pose questions asked by the Japanese Nerves community to Nerves core team members, Frank Hunleth and Justin Schneck. After introducing our guests, we talk about which companies make use of Nerve and explore its use cases by looking at FarmBot, an open source robotic farming tool. Justin and Frank take turns explaining the differences between soft and hard real-time — a springboard to show how Nerve excels within its ‘middle-ground of complexity’, production-orientated niche.
