More EEF Registry stuff

Cheapest way to support the ecosystem. It free. If your company uses the BEAM, Erlang, Elixir or Gleam. Sign em up

I've laid out my reasoning for this system recently.

I have updated the system now to also include a list of the latest companies added. And behind the scenes we are hoooking it up the EEF porocesses that should over time lead to more sponsors. More resources. More common good.

Goatmire activity

I've invited speakers and attendees to the Goatmire Discord. It is now significantly more lively as people rouse from their respective slumbers and plan travel and accomodation in frutiful collaboration.

268 registered to attend across the 16 workshops. 3 workshops fully booked out with waitlists building up.

Attend the remote Nerves Meetup EU

I've generally not been big on virtual events. I really like what we have going with our crew of 20-40 Elixir and Nerves folks who pop in for our Nerves Meetups.

The presentation video archive is full of bangers. But watching the vods means you miss the great hanging out at the end.

Events

28 Sep - 4 Oct - Goatmire Elixir
I'm organizing it.
21-22 Oct - Code BEAM Europe
Simply attending it. Look forward to that.

Go fast to slow down

When I had an Intel-based MacBook Pro it would do a cursed thing. Whenever I went into a video chat it would spin up the fan because the processor went into turbo. Why did the processor think turbo was necessary? Was it hard to keep up with the video? Not particularly. I believe it was using an optimization often called race to idle. Meaning you can use boost to get some work done so you can go back to a low-energy state.

Unfortunately you can't get out of a video call by processing it faster. Wouldn't that be something? But instead it would just make heat and noise. I ended up installing a sketch system extension that let me control the boost of the processor and just plain stop it from doing that.

I am doing something similar at the moment.

Hurrying to get everything I done and squared away before vacation. But in this case I'm not trying to work harder to make time go faster. I simply have a deadline and feel the amount of stuff to do compress as we approach it.

I look forward to having July off. I hope you have some vacation lined up as well.

Thanks for reading, I appreciate you giving this your attention.
