How to use multiple Erlang/Elixir versions in Windows

I’ve been home from the Grand Canyon for some time now. We had a wonderful trip and I’m slowly working on editing those photos. But we’ve also been trying to enjoy a bit of summer here up north. To that end, Eli and I recently spent three days hiking, bushwhacking and clambering in the Scotchman Peaks Proposed Wilderness on the northern Idaho-Montana border. I got a few respectable images, plus …

Hi! Here’s the game we’ve been working on for 6.8 years! You can see the launch trailer and all the details on the store page, but for some reason what I feel like sharing here is the very quickly knocked together trailer I made for the developer commentary, which comes with the Special Edition of the game. It just feels like the sort of thing long time blog followers might …

Nolan Lindquist, who leads JFI’s affiliate, the Center for Active Stewardship, spoke to Oxford and Harvard Business School professor Robert Eccles, an expert in Environmental, Social, and Governance investing. The energy transition is now at the top of the agenda, but its scope has expanded way beyond the traditional remit of environmental policy.

I miss blogging. I’ve been publishing a newsletter on Substack for years, since it was a simple platform to publish a letter. These days, it feels like so much more. So many things going on, so much noise. It feels like a social media platform now. It’s not necessarily a bad thing. I know lots of writers (and celebrities, content creators, podcasters, etc.) that are thriving in this environment. Substack …

I remember, in the dilapidated church of Thouzon, which we visited on one of our excursions in Vaucluse, the Cathar dove carved inside the architrave of a window in such a way that no one could see it without looking in the opposite of the usual direction.from Self-Portrait in the Studio by Giorgio Agamben

There has been a need for lots of spells recently. Yesterday Mr BW found a dead sparrowhawk in the greenhouse...

I often draw a distinction between the political elites of Washington DC and the industrial elites of Silicon Valley with a joke: in San Francisco reading books, and talking about what you have read, is a matter of high prestige. Not so in Washington DC. In Washington people never read books—they just write them. To write a book, of course, one must read a good few. But the distinction I …

What is the smallest number of points in the -dimensional (hyper)cube needed to hit every -dimensional subcube? To be clear, a subcube of dimension is obtained by fixing coordinates to some specific values and then letting the other coordinates vary. Therefore, in total there are copies of in and our set of points must intersect each of them. For example, and an optimal construction is shown below with the red …

How do you pronounce the name Jrue? The question is straightforward enough. The answer, though, leads us into a thorny maze of names, language, culture and identity. Because Jrue, as in basketball star Jrue Holiday, is a phonetic spelling. It’s the familiar name Drew, but spelled like it sounds…to some people. The D/J Divide English speakers are split on the pronunciation of the consonant combo DR. To some it’s simply …

The Little Park, Jean-Honoré Fragonard, gouache on parchment, roughly 8 x 10″ (20 x 24 cm); in the collection of the Morgan Library and Museum, NY. I had the pleasure of seeing this delightful little gouache painting by the 18th century French Rococo painter in a show at the Morgan several years ago. I was aware of the larger oil of the same subject in the Wallace Collection in England …

Translating the title is a neat illustration of how, even in prose, “literal” isn’t all people care about. The Russian title Ottsy i deti (Отцы и дети, 1862) has symmetrical regular plural endings and means “fathers and children.” The possible alternative Ottsy i synov’ia would have unmatched endings and mean “fathers and sons.” (IIRC Nabokov preferred Invitation to a Beheading to the literal Invitation to an Execution for the opposite …
