I prefer the mechanical bullshit artist tbh. I can use it to do things like organize my photos. All the professional did was lay me off or fuck up a good thing

Substack just annoying as can be anyway, with the constant spammy pop-ups about subscribed to my newsletter and whatever the hell else. Absolutely atrocious blogging platform

Iirc Wikipedia supports it for tab notation

Personally I much prefer lilypond. I wonder if this tool supports lilypond. Would love to have a workflow to scan sheet music and get lilypond out the other end.

I made a Djot (markdown alternative) parser for Elixir (github.com)
 

cross-posted from: https://lemdro.id/post/3061318

Djot is a markdown alternative, created by John MacFarlane, creator of Pandoc and spec author of CommonMark. It aims to fix many of the little issues Markdown has, and does a pretty good job of it, imo.

Some Elixir testing Tricks (pdx.su)
 

ExUnit is wonderful, and the functional paradigms that underpin Elixir let us write extremely complex tests in a fraction of the code that would be needed in OOP testing frameworks like RSpec.

But it's not all wine and roses. Tests can quickly accrue tons of boilerplate and repetition.

Using some Elixir features, you can cut down on these, and make tests even nicer to write.
