TIL `Phoenix.PubSub.subscribe` is not idempotent; if your process calls it twice for a given topic, you'll get two notifications for each message posted to it. Or... if you call it 4,000 times, once on each update to your LiveComponent, you'll get 4,000 messages. Ask me how I know. 🫠 #ElixirLang

There are no major CVEs for latest Phoenix 1.5+. We provide security patches for the last 4 minor versions, which include 1.5, 1.6, 1.7 and 1.8 at the moment. Apps using old Phoenix should still update, for sure, but not necessarily for security reasons. See github.com/phoenixframe....

New #ElixirLang ERLEF sponsor site is up, hopefully providing much clearer impact sponsors have on the community sponsor.erlef.org If you're at a company that uses the BEAM, send the site to your CFO and give back!

Sponsorship powers our working groups, security advisories, and the events the BEAM community runs on.

Yeah. It's caused some problems for me by hiding real bugs. I have a rule set (and I think there's a credo rule too) to never blind rescue, always rescue/catch specific terms and to exercise it to verify which it would be.

Semi-serious proposal: can we make open source sustainable by offering maintainers $x00/hr to review PRs opened against their projects? I think I could legitimately make the business case to get work to fund this on projects that are otherwise very quiet.

I always liked Elixir, but I never gave it a real shot because I never really enjoyed working with dynamic languages. In recent years, they have done amazing work on gradual typing, and now I officially have zero complaints. elixir-lang.org/blog/2026/06...

A little bit different. It's a single cache globally and doesn't update on its own afaik. It supports bash. And since it's a mix task it can more intelligently get mix task info.

010

David Bernheisel @david.bernheisel.com · 15/04/2026

a difference with this is that it actually runs `mix help` and `mix help ...` on things and parses the output. The other completions I've seen are static.

000

David Bernheisel @david.bernheisel.com · 15/04/2026

lotta awk and lotta sed. It caches by project since your project might have more mix tasks than others. Also, I realized that `mix help credo` is useless -- why do they have to be different and put that in `mix credo --help` ? Credo's handled as a special case.

David Bernheisel @david.bernheisel.com · 15/04/2026

I always do this: `mix <tab> <tab> <rage tab>` and then realize completions aren't built in for mix. so I hacked together something truly awful, but it works github.com/dbernheisel/... Add this ^ to your zsh fpath and then you have more helpful completions, including flags. #ElixirLang

mix deps.unlock --unused
-- switch --
--all -- unlocks all dependencies
--check-unused -- checks that the `mix.lock` file has no unused dependencies. This is useful in pre-commit hooks and CI sc
--filter -- unlocks only deps matching the given name
--unused -- unlocks only unused dependencies (no longer mentioned in the `mix.exs` file)

David Bernheisel @david.bernheisel.com · 15/04/2026

It's a bit brute-forced, but here it is github.com/dbernheisel/... then use it like this ``` require('reflow-markdown').setup({ per_client = { expert = { fence_indented_code = 'elixir', strip_exdoc_autolinks = true }, }, }) ```
