An important thing to consider when writing long blog posts or articles is providing a Table of Contents that shows an overview of what is covered. This is important for readers who might want to see if the content is relevant or if they want to jump to the specific section they are interested in. Providing a Table of Contents is also important for SEO and it can help your content perform better in search results.

In this tutorial we’re going to be looking at adding a Table of Contents to a Nimble Publisher blog.

Enhancements

• Highly customizable tables! The biggest change in this release. They work with Owl.Data.t() which allows colorizing even different chars inside a cell, not just a whole cell. Input expects a list of maps, and this structure allows autodetection of columns. There is sorting and filtering of columns, ability to specify max width for entire table and for individual columns. See all options in docs.
• Allow labels for progress bar to be Owl.Data.t()

In programming, we often need fairly distribution of data. Using phash2 we can get the same hash for the same Erlang term regardless of machine architecture and ERTS version. This fast function should always be used for hashing any data and limiting the result to a range of integers.

Episode 132 of Thinking Elixir. LiveView isn’t always the right answer. Chris Nelson created LiveState to enable embedding custom HTML components in other websites and connect over Phoenix channels to keep UI state on the server! LiveState takes an interesting approach that tries to keep many of the benefits of LiveView but apply it to situations like custom components in static sites hosted by other people. Chris explains how it works and what problems it solves. Check it out!

Wrote some rant on Business Process Driven Development with Finite Automata (and Finitomata library in particular.)

Hello fellow Elixir enthusiasts!

I wanted to share a blog post with you all that I think will be of great interest. The post is called “Principles of Elixir Application Development” and it covers some key principles and best practices for building robust, scalable Elixir applications.

You can find the post here: https://medium.com/@SergeyChechaev/principles-of-elixir-application-development-a4f5018094c5 I hope you enjoy it and find it useful! Let me know what you think in the comments.

Finding the right Enum function can be hard for newcomers and even for more experienced Elixir devs. Maybe this new ExDoc cheatsheet can help with this?

Episode 130 of Thinking Elixir. The Elixir community is buzzing with excitement around Bumblebee! Bumblebee makes it easy to use a variety of pre-trained neural network models in Elixir. José Valim, Paulo Valente, and Jonatan Kłosko join us to talk about this latest advancement. We learn how Bumblebee works, the abilities that are supported today, where things are going next and the longer term visions of what’s possible. We cover the new Livebook smart cells that create an easy playground for playing with Bumblebee, a single-file Phoenix example that does image classification, and much more!
