Congratulations on the project! It works great, until we need to handle the best part of Elixir, that's creating multiple actors.

This Task code, for example doesn't work.

  Enum.map(0..10, fn(_) ->
    Task.async(fn -> IO.puts("new process") end)
  end) |> Task.await_many()

Tasks seem not to work indeed, but spawning processes works. Try

  Enum.map(1..10, fn _i ->
    spawn(fn -> IO.puts("new process") end)
  end)

Also, there are two scenarios: compiling code in the browser and running it, and running precompiled code in the browser. In the latter case more things work, for example the 'game of life' example uses GenServers, Supervisors and Registry:

But yes, it's still unstable. Improving the stability is our main focus right now.

I'm glad this project isgetting bigger. I remember wathcing the creator hacking on it on twitch back in a day.

Obsidian is by far my favorite note taking app of all time. I always try new ones for specific stuff to see how each can improve my productivity daily, but I always stick with it for all my most important things. This canvas product being opensourced and migrateable is great specially for users that try different things like me.

in ~ 2016 I built a plugin for on-my-fish to simplify the process of curling wttr.in https://github.com/oh-my-fish/plugin-wttr. From today I'm still using this plugin a lot. Checking out the weather on your terminal turns out to be faster than open a weather website or unlock my phone and check in out a weather app.

This is great. I love to see this kind of news. Good teachers are very expensive and there's a of schools that prefers to have mediocre ones and capitalize their earnings.

I'm doing 4 to 6 online courses per year I think it's a great way to spend my money. And I always have the same teachers with me

Hey. I work for a large media company also. And I agree with you in everything that you say.

But one thing I got to agree with you, this looks fantastic. I'm willing to try that soon or later cause I just wanna to see the looks and feels.

One thing that I believe tough is that if the platform is extensible enough may be easier to convince media companies to use it. Unfortunately is more a political game than an useful one.

Hi there, I am the head of Sourcefabric, and all I can tell you that based on the inquiries we are getting, you are considerably underestimating the appetite for change in major media organizations. Perhaps dropping some of Superdesk promo materials in front of editors and biz people may produce surprising results.

"Selling" Superdesk is actually not hard at all. Our main challenge currently is to cope with the demand. Hence the "We're hiring" badge.

Regarding who is it for, it's for all, rich and poor alike. Think of Tesla Roadster to Tesla Model 3 analogy. We wanted to build something that will be second to none. And luckily we've bumped into great, open minded partners among national new agencies, who have helped us shape it into an already very powerful system, that can substitute their aging enterprise CMSs and open the road to innovation down the line. And if it's good for the bigger fish, the minnows will enjoy the ride too. (more about it at some other point).

What we want to do is provide the best technology to all news media and help arrest the erosion of the sector. We have many ideas and concrete plans. If you want to help us, come join us. We need you.

From what I can tell (very much an outsider), news orgs are having to run leaner all the time and something like this might actually get traction.

Frankly, news is being disrupted. Something tells me they will be looking for more streamlined ways of doing things. I don't know much about your software, but who did you work with in Australia to get this resolved? Was it a New Ltd paper, or Fairfax?

Australian Associated Press.

Aahh .... My company (Spaceman - now shut down) built the software that AAP are currently using! Just curious - has much additional development been done on it?

This is amazing Thanks so much author.

Erlang/elixir is getting some awesome love from hacker news. <3

This is pretty sweet for testing repetitive tasks and also to get starting with macros on elixir.

Erlang has always done well on HN. One time the whole front page was Erlang submissions after pg asked for more Erlang.

All the good bits are there, I hope it gains sustainable traction :)

I use fish for a year now. I was actually gonna give a try on fisherman. But I found out that oh-my-fish (which I currently use) repos are down because of one guy that maintain the fisherman and is abusing of DMCA all over oh-my-fish repositories. https://github.com/oh-my-fish/oh-my-fish.

Not gonna give a try on a project that is primary maintained for bad people with bad intentions.

It seems interesting the 'wa' repositories now redirect to a Fishery account that does, guess what? fish plugins. I’m not defending oh-my-fish, because it looks like they didn’t give attribution, but it’s all too convenient.

In any case, it’s clear this is just a stunt to open the path for Fisherman to become the de facto framework. Hopefully no one will really use them, but I know some people will.

This is no doubt the funniest (but most miserable, really): http://ohmy.fish (guess where it redirects)

these numbers are great.
