It was a PR to the build tool exposing more of the Erlang/OTP application configuration in `gleam.toml`. We've got something super nice for Gleam/OTP applications, and it'll make use of this

Something up with GitHub Actions? The status page says it's fine, but I keep getting network errors.

I think the most amusing thing about watching the Green Party gradually rise in the polls now @ZackPolanski is in charge, is that Starmer is significantly responsible through being unnecessarily rude & hostile to nature lovers & anyone left of centre, on the mistaken belief they had ‘nowhere else to go’.

How does a website protect their users against phishing attacks? Seems really challenging.
Having a unique image per-user that is shown on the 2FA page might help? Though getting users to remember that one should be present sounds difficult too.
A singly linked list can be thought of having two constructors:
an empty list
an element followed by a list
They're often called "nil" and "cons" in functional programming.
What do other languages call these?
Something is very wrong is happening with the UK government and police force. This isn't normal.
No matter what you think of the protestors' beliefs, I think we can all agree that holding up signs outside Parliament in London is not terrorism.
The new database feature of the Obsidian note taking app looks so nice.
Once it has a plugin API I could see myself moving a ton of my personal automation into a custom Obsidian plugin.
If I want to test a HTTP server implementation there's h2spec (HTTP2), h3spec (HTTP3), and autobahn (websockets).
Is there anything for HTTP1.1? Or SSE?
Stretch goal 2 (inclusion in Erlang/OTP itself) would solve the #1 thing people get stuck on when trying to get started with Gleam or Erlang!

I don't know the details of this rebar3+OTP improvement project are yet, but it sounds very exciting here!

It's 2025 and I'm getting messages from internet strangers telling me not to support gay people. Mad shit.
My favourite bit of the Gleam website has returned
github.com/gleam-lang/websit…
Is it a bit confusing that Gleam's GitHub Sponsorship is attached to my account instead of @gleamlang's? Kinda looks like it all goes to me instead of the project's account.
It's like this because GH didn't support orgs when I signed up. Should I do the work to change it?
