We wanted to use the Jina embeddings v2 model for an Elixir project but it’s not supported out of the box in Bumblebee. Here, I describe how to implement and verify the Jina model so we can run it in Elixir.

Spoiler alert: it’s probably less work than you expect.

In this post, I go through a common occurrence in large codebases: seemingly unrelated files being recompiled every time you change a module. It contains a deep dive on why this happens, how to fix and how to permanently prevent such long (re)compilation chains from showing up again.

The iteration time between making changes and observing changes should be as fast as possible. The slower it is, the more it impacts your productivity. If you suffer from long recompilation chains, I highly suggest you take the time to read the post!

ErrorTracker has just reached 10k downloads on hex.pm. To celebrate we have just released a new version with a much requested feature:

• Support for sanitizing and filtering out sensible information from the context. The error context may include some sensible information and now you can filter it out just before an error is tracked.

Take a look at the GitHub repository and the Hex.pm package for the detailed release notes and documentation.

mix test.interactive allows you to re-run your tests every time something changes while interactively controlling the arguments passed to mix test. See the recent blog post or check out the library on hex.pm.
