\n\nOn today’s episode of the Elixir Outlaws, Amos and Sean are going to talk about authentication and authorization in applications as well as creating starter applications. The forms work great for air handling and everything inside of Phoenix if you are using a changeset otherwise, you got a lot of hand jamming for yourself, says Amos.
\n\nEpisode Highlights
\nJavaScript has buttons to add fields or remove fields, things like that, but it is up to you if you decide that you are going to do it with live view.
\nChangesets don’t work super well with a list. If Amos tries to put in one thing in the list, which is already in the list, it is overriding the whole list.
\nFor the invoice cases, whenever we want to add an item to the list, all those changes that are currently there will cause ripping of the form because we are affecting the changeset, says Amos.
\nIf you change one of the items in a list, you have to pull everything out, make the one change, and put everything in this change; otherwise, you are going to overwrite the whole list. So, you are going to use the get field instead of getting change, suggests Amos.
\nSean asks Amos, in your live view implementation, are you taking the changeset you have and trying to find a nested chainset inside it to modify it?
\nOnce I have a list, there is this extra cognitive overhead to remember that I need to grab the original fields and make sure that those end up in the changes too, because, otherwise, I am going to overwrite the whole thing, says Amos.
\nSean inquire from Amos, as you said, your invoice items need to be reused. Are they possible to exist on multiple invoices?
\nReload doesn’t put it into the changesets once you are building changesets, and that is when it becomes an issue on the front end in the database, says Amos.
\nAmos is going to write a blog post about changeset because he could not find anything on the Internet that talked about it directly, and he is going to take another peruse through the Ecto documentation.
\nNormally, your validations are to a single field on your changeset, and if you are writing a custom validator, use validate change, and you can pass it a function that takes the details about that change on that field, says Sean.
\nSean explains that all of the things we call validate those happen as soon as you call them but prepare changes like adding a function that will be called right before you call to update or insert or delete.
\nAmos has a function for signing up that versus inviting and signing up says - I am going to create a company, which is a very common thing in web apps.
\nYou could even get a very long way into your app and only need one user per group or per team, but there is some overhead to thinking about how you appropriately hide that if you don’t need a multi-user multi-team or multi-group, says Sean.
3 Key Points
\nIf you think about the database tables, delete is like on-cast on delete cascade. There is no analog, but you need to delete the associated record if you dissociate, says Sean.
\nWhen you get your response from your multi, you have to rebuild your form changeset out of that new response and send it out, which sometimes doesn’t build in the same way you want for actually displaying the first time, says Amos.
\nIf Sean was building a new web app from scratch and it had some concept of or might feet in the future need some concept of teams, he would probably go ahead and build it from the beginning.
Tweetable Quotes
\n“I spent the last two weeks on the bugs in edge cases, and I guess they weren’t really edged cases.” – Amos

\n\nElixir Outlaws, 19/02/2022
\n\nOn today’s episode of the Elixir Outlaws, Chris Keathley and Sean Cribbs are going to talk about Embedded Systems, Microcontrollers, Rust, Raspberry Pi, Zig, etc. There is a compelling benefit of Rust, you can’t use this block of memory, and you can check that at compile time. There is a whole class of memory problems that Rust is stopping you from being able to interact with, but you kind of give it all up. If you dump the thing on a single-threaded, single-core M0 processor.
\n\nEpisode Highlights
\nZig is very appropriate for the embedded stuff, because if you are dealing with it, then you give up a lot of the benefits of Rust in an embedded context, says Chris.
\nThere is a lot to work with Rust to, like write wrappers around unsafe type things to the point where you aren’t really getting a lot of its benefits.
\nThere was a project in which Sean was working years ago that was leaning heavily on top of DPDK and which is the Data Plane Developer Kit. Basically, it lets you write network programs using kernel bypass. So, you basically get direct access to the network interface card, and it does some memory tricks and the network buffers into, huge pages that are user space rather than being, passed into kernel buffers and then hand it off with context switches into the userspace. So, you kind of gets the opportunity to do some packet-level programming there.
\nA whole class of problems could happen in a Zig Application that just can’t happen unless you use obviously giant caveat. On the other hand, Rust is going to keep you from making those mistakes.
\nRust also has the notion of marking variables undefined, which was always a potential bug in C programs.
\nFor those of you who don’t know, in old versions of C, you had to declare all your variables, you couldn’t declare them in scope, you couldn’t declare them, in your FOR loop, it had to be declared at a higher scope before you could use it in at least the version of C, which was like a pre ANSI.
\nZig is an appropriate choice for the embedded work that Chris was doing, and he is starting to get into places where he really does want an arthouse like of some sort.
\nWe are working on an API; its job is basically to produce these ginormous JSON documents and serve them to another app that produces the front end for our customers.
\nSean could have switched back to Alexa or like Jason Library, but that would have made things worse, so there are still like times when you have to take that risky bet.
\nAs a leader of an organization, you choose the culture you want, and then, based on that culture, you bring together people, and you tell them to make a decision, and then all you do is ratify that decision once they’ve come to a decision.
\nSean recommends people to read the book “Kill It With Fire.” One of the things the author talks about is when there is a big problem, and they really want to solve it, the executives have to be into solving the problem. Sometimes they want to be to be involved, and they end up getting in the way. So, the strategy that she is picked in previous situations is they want to be involved, so they want to have a war room.
\nChris has been in big company land where if you do anything without asking for permission in triplicate, you get your hands slapped.
\nThere is a situation in mind where we are trying to figure out what the next major iteration of our platform is going to look like, and some of that means like questioning the assumptions that were made over the last three years building this product, and then you don’t like on the one hand we want to try things and see if they work like prototypes and whatnot and on the other hand, there is just a massive amount of functionality to figure out, says Chris
\nChris is building new things then trying to get to the next level of the product.
\nChris suggests that you can find everything you need if you search long and hard and kind of learn where it all is, it suffers mostly pedagogically like it doesn’t take you from nothing to an expert or even like semi knowledgeable. There is no path for that, and that is the thing that is really missing.
\nFor Chris, coming back to an object-oriented language after being in functional land for so long, he gets really scared when he sees those sorts of things.
\nIt is one of the few credo rules that Chris turns on from his laser stuff. He wants functions to have docs, and he wanted modules to have docs or at minimum have module block false, which is also again partially for he hides most of his internal modules.
\nYou might change memory layout like your username is different than my username, and that changes the layout of how stuff gets into RAM, and that can result in a marked speed improvement.
\nLet’s use statistics and see our improvements are statistically relevant. Or if they are within the noise. If it is just noise, then try optimization Level 3, it is better than optimization level 2.
\nIf we can find places in code, the problem with profilers as they show you where you spend all your time.
3 Key Points
\nChris has written 50 to 100,000 lines of Rust at this point in various projects doing various things.
\nSean and Chris discuss about the common problem in C language and how Zig is the much better version.
\nRust is a better version of C++. C++ is a big old honking language at this point. Rust feels like that vein where it has a lot going on, setting aside the ownership stuff.
Tweetable Quotes
\n“All embedded microcontroller platform is a giant bag of global mutable state.”- Chris Keathley
\n“Rust compile-time memory safety stuff which is very novel and cool.” - Chris Keathley
\n“It is C that is keeping you from making some of the glaring C problems.”- Chris Keathley
\n“Zig appeals to me on an aesthetical level that Rust does not” - Chris Keathley
\n“Java is a safe bet because of adoption, not because of fitness to purpose.”- Sean
\n“If you are excited about it and getting invested in it, then that means a lot. It doesn’t eliminate risk, but it certainly helps to mitigate it when you make those big choices.” - Chris Keathley
\n“As a leader high up in an organization, you don’t make choices. You just bring together people who do make choices, and you ratify their choices.”- Chris Keathley
\n“Our team is responsible for some of the embedded work, which is largely built around nerves.” - Chris Keathley
\n“We have a deployment setup that’s really nice in that we can just use consistent hashing through a static cluster.” - Chris Keathley
\n“We made the loading spinner render faster, but it didn’t make loading any faster.” - Chris Keathley

\n\nElixir Outlaws, 09/02/2022
\n\nOn today’s episode of the Elixir Outlaws, Amos and Sean are going to talk about what other models and frameworks are out there for building web apps. The plug has some stuff that looks like Sinatra, but the responses were not what Sean expected in some places. Many people recommended the web machine and the surprising elixir plug. A big point of a web machine is to build something that conforms to the semantics in the RFCs as much as possible. It’s kind of hard for most web frameworks Sean has used, aside from web machines.
\n\nEpisode Highlights
\nIn a web machine, your resources are the main thing you work with, and it is a module with a bunch of optional callbacks that you can implement. In a web machine, you have controllers, routers, and dispatch lists that you match over.
\nIf you have designed the thing right, you can do that computation at a very low cost to the server. So you are generally improving things in terms of bandwidth, but you are also improving things in terms of time spent processing the request, says Sean.
\nThe e-tags are a little bit more complicated, but you could do something like hash the contents of the record and use that as an E-tag. Sometimes you can’t, but that happens all before you even get to the point of producing content.
\nElli is another great Erling Web server and what’s great about it is super tiny. You can do a lot with very, very little code, and like a phoenix or plug, it will compile your routes when you define them, explains Sean.
\nYou can just give ELLI a list of functions, and it’ll run all of them and pass them whatever the output is from the previous function. The only requirement is your end handler because the thing attached to the route has to return particular keys in that map, suggests Amos.
\nEase is a big deal for people. If you understand any language or server, you can get into this new language or new framework pretty easily with ease.
\nIt’s hard to get started or figure out whenever you run into problems. The lifecycle stuff is spread out all over the documentation because sometimes you can change web sockets so that it’ll react, and sometimes you can’t flash messages the same way, says Amos.
\nWhen you are trying to load your timeline on the big social media websites, you get some placeholder thing first, and then they load in, and it displays, suggests Sean.
\nThere are some limitations to the bandit framework yet. It’s not 100% complete, but it can probably work for most of the Phoenix things or plug things you want to do, says Sean.
\nWhen Amos first started looking into Erling, they looked into Erling for a communication server, not a web server.
\nNitrogen hails from the days before we have WebSockets, but a lot of what it was trying to do is very much in line with things like live view things, says Sean.
3 Key Points
\nMany people know phoenix but don’t know Elixir, and similarly mid-teen people with Ruby projects don’t know Rails or don’t use the things that the language provides.
\nIf you know Elixir well enough, the big Leap is not semantics for Erling, but the syntax. Erling doesn’t apply to Elixir because it made different choices, making the Erling web server less approachable to work on.
\nThe flip side of nitrogen is that it’s inefficient to render the tricks that EEX does. Where it’s like I’m going to read everything up until this sigil, and that’s going to be one binary that gets submitted into the compiled function, says Sean.
Tweetable Quotes
\n“With rails, It was hard to do computation because you’d have to go all the way down into the controller and do all of the work you are going to do except rendering the page.’ - Sean
\n“If you focus on doing very little in each callback defined by the web machine, you get a snappy and compliant HTTP interface.” – Sean
\n“If your whole page is a live view and the initial render is even really just an empty template that maybe check some authentication to make sure that you are off.” - Amos

\n\nElixir Outlaws, 01/25/2021
\n\nOn today’s episode of the Elixir Outlaws, Amos and Sean are going to share their technical knowledge and insight on various topics. Amos has been doing a lot of surface-ui work. The surface is a component library for live view. The surface has some excellent features built-in how they handle CSS. Sean hasn’t looked at the Template: Anchor yet, but he has heard mixed things about many people who feel like the eText templates have improved things.
\n\nEpisode Highlights
\nThe Troubles with form versus dot form feel like a limitation of the template language should unify those things, says Sean.
\nJSX - React said you could use HTML moments wherever you want, but we are going to turn them into our DOM construction functions that produce the objects with assigned properties from context, says Sean.
\nSean recalls some web framework to underline called nitrogen used when it was called dynamic HTML, a sort of live update type stuff over Websockets.
\nIf you have six elements, six-pointers, and probably at the front of that, you have some metadata, then the thing that follows this block in the OTP case is a tuple, says Sean.
\nA caveat is a kind of blockchain, because a caveat creates a new macaroon that wraps the old one with a new signature, and then you can add another restriction that wraps that one with a new one, says Amos.
\nSean asks, would it make more sense not to put any permissions in macaroons unless you are restricting them to a limited set because the absence of a caveat is access?
\nSean inquires, verifying a caveat is just like meeting the signature. If caveat doesn’t apply to an operation being performed, why would that be a problem in application logic?
\nWe are storing passwords in the database, which we don’t need. We can make a macaroon for it and give it a time limit like this macaroon will not be any good after this specific time, says Amos.
\nAmos is going to store permissions in the macaroons, but he is not going to pull the list of projects out of the macaroon and then pull them out of the database.
\nThe authorization context is not the initial set of facts. It’s the thing you want to unify, especially if there is a caveat for the items.
\nSean asks Amos, what are your thoughts about code review, and what do you like or dislike about it? What are you trying to get out of it?
\nEverybody tends to hit the lowest bar set on a team no matter what. So code review, to me, is a place to try to push that bar up, says Amos.
\nSean asks how effective is the code review itself, like the process you implement in your teams? And how often do you catch bugs?
\nAmos says that he feels like learning happens as long as it’s communication. Typos get caught a lot, especially in the documentation, because if somebody wrote documentation, we can read it in the code review and catch typos.
\nReviewing something to understand how our product is put together or how our infrastructure is put together has not been that good for me, says Sean.
\nAs per Amos, if a senior asked the question, a junior will often assume that is how they should go. But once a junior person sees that they know something that you don’t know, it adjusts the power dynamic.
\nAmos suggests that for a good team, we need vulnerability. And the hardest thing to create remotely is vulnerability because there is a lot of interaction that doesn’t happen.
\nAmos affirms that if you can’t explain the code in the code review, you probably haven’t done it well enough for consideration. In his opinion, people don’t spend enough time on code reviews.
3 Key Points
\nA lot of the JSX - React projects Sean had to interact with use Storybook, and Amos creates examples for each of your components, and it is a good thing that helps them with documentation.
\nAuthorization is always contextual. When you want to compare or make an authorization decision, you have to look at the context that Sean is trying to authorize and what rights have been granted.
\nCode review is for both sides of the reviewer and the person or people whose code is being reviewed as it takes vulnerability on both sides.
Tweetable Quotes
\n“When you are a property type, and you have a component, you can define properties, and you can say whether they’re required or not.” - Amos
\n“If I have to debug something, I look at a record. When you are debugging, it is because you don’t know what’s going on.” - Amos
\n“If someone tried to navigate to the URL without the macaroon, they would just get denied, and that would be a perfect use case for macarons.” - Sean
\n“With datalog in Prolog, you can declare things that look like functions in datalog, usually called facts or functors, and they have nobody.” – Sean
\n“Celebrate failures that create learning. You don’t celebrate failures if you keep continuing to have the same one over and over.” - Amos

\n\nElixir Outlaws, 01/19/2021
\n\nOn today’s episode of the Elixir Outlaws, Sean Cribbs and Amos will talk about WASM (Web assembly) to implement some core parts of the app and discuss the server-side too. Rusts for loop syntax is sugar for iterators, says Sean. So, you can also sort of do method chaining type thing in rust. There is an interesting proposal on the Elixir form for loops.
\n\nEpisode Highlights
\nFOR loops are not loops, they are a special form in the compiler, basically a macro with special privileges that generates some code, says Sean.
\nAs per Sean, if you have a lead, then you have for loop variable, and you have to return a two-two pole that has the accumulator as the second, or if you don’t, then it is just the accumulator that becomes quite confusing.
\nAmos says that when one uses MapReduce and has FOR loop and you want to step through something and maybe at the same time get an account and a sum, and you want to adjust the current values, then we are getting three things out in adjustment and then two other data points.
\nIt is hard to step away from an imperative mindset when you have done it forever and adding imperative things back into the language is going to make it even harder for people to step outside of that imperative mindset, says Amos.
\nPeople use Monads to write things that look more imperative because it is easier for us to think that way sometimes, and it’s going to create less maintainable code.
\nOCaml is very much like in the same syntactical flavor as Haskell. But it doesn’t have that whole lazy evaluation thing that gets so confusing at times, and it also has the much simpler type of system.
\nSean had tried hard to encourage his coworkers to use things like in the lists module or use list comprehensions or use fold wherever they could. But some people liked making software recursive functions that had a bunch of arguments to them.
\nIn MapReduce there is a trailing option you can put on for loops. It is like reducing given initial value of the accumulator and then you match the accumulator coming in.
\nUsing ENUM reduce, there are some tactical forms that represent something, and special form will generate, but they are not things in themselves.
\nThe things that are browser based we can’t rewrite completely in Rust. There is always going to be JavaScript at some level.
\nSean has seen attempts where people want to have JavaScript running the same code on the front end as in the back end.
\nIn graphic production, there are many things about memory allocators, but these are all sorts of things that we might have to think about with rust when we are trying to implement.
3 Key Points
\nWith MapReduce in the ENUM module, you can do something on each element of the collection, but you are also collecting something about the entire collection as you flow through, says Sean.
\nThe flipside of list comprehension is that you can only do so many things in the right side of the comprehension. It may be explicit what you were returning from expression because the entire expression is inside the list brackets.
\nThe biggest thing that Amos have ever had to deal with when working on stuff on the front end or on edge computing is if you don’t control the resource at the endpoint, it may be the slowest thing ever, and it may not work that well.
Tweetable Quotes
\n“I am not against pipes, and you can write non-imperative code with pipes, but it looks imperative.” – Amos
\n“In FOR loop, FOR is an expression that returns a value. You can choose to ignore that value that’s returned, but it returns a value, usually a list.” – Sean
\n“You can have only one let, which is the other thing that’s a little bit surprising. It works in if statements.” – Sean
\n“Being able to have code on the back end, you control the hardware and the performance.” – Amos
\n“The book Kill it with fire I wish I had picked up a year ago because the author worked for US digital service, updating mainframe applications, and there’s a lot of sage advice in that book.” - Sean

\n\nOn today’s episode of the Elixir Outlaws, Sean Cribbs and Amos King are going to talk about
\nthe Elixir Conference. Amos talks about his ordeal to reach the Elixir Conference, his flight
\ncontinuously got canceled, and the entire journey was hectic for him. From the scariest
\nlanding to nonstop flights getting canceled, rescheduled, and re-routed, Sean’s travel ordeal
\ncovers all.
Episode Highlights:
\n Amos gives detailed insights about his talk and pre-preparation. He has a habit of
\ncontinuously improving his speech and slides, and this is precisely what he did when
\nhe got the extra time due to flight cancellations and re-routing.
\n Amos received a lot of positive feedback, and he had a wonderful experience at the
\nconference. For him, it was nice to be around people again post-pandemic.
\n Amos suggests before giving a speech, and you don’t have to write out the entire
\ntalk, write notes for things that you need to say in a specific way.
\n Sean talks about a funny incident that happened in QCON 2014, and he explains
\nwhy he has a meme and a Russian Fake Facebook account.
\n While giving a talk at the vendor track at QCON, which is a big industry very
\nexpensive enterprise technology conference type thing, Sean made a funny posture
\nwith his hands.
\n At the QCON, the photographers have a talent for catching speakers with their hands
\nand really interesting and kind of disturbing positions. Sean tried hard not to make
\nany postures, but the photographer still got a funny picture that later got circulated as
\na meme.
\n Amos explains how nerves are set up; you can use nerves to deploy to your servers
\nif you want to. Because you just have to have something that can run Linux. So now
\nyou have B partitions that automatically swap over if one fails. So you can use the
\nnerves hub to deploy to your servers. You just have to build a nerves image for
\nwhatever server you have.
\n Sean and Amos explain how you can accomplish really great things when your tools
\nare well built.
\n Amos says there have been a lot of things that the nerves team and working on
\nnerves has brought back to the ecosystem as a whole.
\n Sean feels that there is a lot of good stuff going right now, but there is also a long
\nway to go before you can really feel like, hey, this out of the box or very close to out
\nof the box new Elixir project, it is going to have metrics tracing, logging, built in. So,
\nSean feels that he just has to add his own flavor for this particular project and make
\nthat part of his engineering process.
\n Sean talks about a crypto finance company and one of its major functions, i.e.,
\ntrading.
\n Sean explains how there are multiple systems within an infrastructure that interacts
\nas part of the process.
\n As soon as you know your product is viable, you get feedback to give users better
\nexperiences, says Amos.
\n Sean explains how one can directly correlate to the cost of the server, and one can
\nsave memory.
\n Talking about his side projects, Sean said his project capacity planner became one
\nof his major projects.
\n Sometimes you just have to turn people away in order to serve anyone, says Sean.
There are a bunch of products without the sort of visibility to their customers even
\nthose products do not have value or not apparent value like the content distribution
\nnetworks (CDN).
\n While talking about passing the acceptance test, Sean says to Amos that you can
\nbuild these kinds of things that look like single-page apps, but they are completely
\nserver-side driven, and you can manage this state and Elixir, and that is great.

\n “Categorically deploying Elixir does not exist.”- Amos
\n “If people know how to measure their systems, then they can get in a situation where

\nthe cost.” – Sean

This week Amos and Chris discuss a fun absinthe bug and try to determine how to pronounce "leex". Chris describes his frustrations with REST and why building clients for REST apis is probably the worst thing ever.
\n\nIn the main topic this week, Amos expresses his frustration with Purely Functional Data Structures and understanding amortized time analysis. Chris attempts to provide some clarity by describing the physicists method.

This week starts with Amos describing the new features elixir 1.7 and Chris explaining some queueing theory. Afterwards Anna describes her experience solving a bug in her crypto-currency exchange. This leads to a discussion on how to find bugs in distributed systems, the dangers of generating data based on types and how to guide generators so they find more bugs.

Anna, Amos, and Chris start this week by discussing the recently released elixir documentary. Amos brings up the virus that was discovered in eslint-scope which detours into a conversation about reading through library dependencies. The hosts eventually make their way to the main topic for this week: How to find the correct restart intensity for your supervisors.

This week Amos kicks off the show by talking about his memory issues and Anna discusses her work on building a crypto currency exchange. The hosts then dive in to the main topic of this week: is Erlang "the most object oriented language" and if so is that a good thing.

Amos kicks off this episode by exposing the joys of symbolic variables in proper's state machine tests. Chris laments the lack of elixir work in his life and his future plans to correct the situation. The Outlaws then discuss the ramifications of Proper's GPL licensing. Not wanting to bore everyone with yet another open source licensing debate they quickly shift to #hottakes on stream_data's inclusion in elixir core. Anna provides a voice of reason while Chris plays devils advocate and says things that he'll probably regret. They finish with a teaser on "Purely Functional Data Structures".
