- membrane
- kvs
- sagemaker

I’m still polishing my Elixir skills, but not working on anything particularly interesting… Just hanging out on the forums and trying not to give out too much bad advice!

Well I’m still learning, Looking forward to work on elixir projects. I built an Elixir + Python project. This one talks about getting data from Jenkins builds and displaying a dashboard. I used Python to run few ML code to train on estimated and execution duration of the jobs and predict anomalies (simple stuff). Used highcharts for the graph.

I thought that the modern font format is vastly under-explored. Modern OpenType specs support colored vector graphics, is programmable / quasi-Turing complete, is in principle application-agnostic, cross-platform, and have decades-long longevity. For the past two years, I’ve been working on these areas, most of the energy focussed on a font that provides colored, context-sensitive pronunciations for Cantonese.
v1 of the font was released May 2023 (www.visual-fonts.com), and made its way to HN front-page: Cantonese Font with Pronunciation | Hacker News
v2 of the font had been successfully built and will be released in May 2024. It is vastly more ambitious than v1: it includes every reading of every readable character in every known contexts.
Early testers have used it for teaching materials,
sing along to Canto pop:
and read books on Kindles.
Backing this is a thorough, state-of-the-art understanding of the language, and mechanisms for data to drive font production. Elixir is used exclusively for both. Right now there is nothing very specific to Elixir that (in theory) could not have been done in other languages (I wrote no GenServers outside of porting out), but the immutability (thus functional) approach was exactly the discipline I needed.
I also loved the progression from IEx → Livebook → Mix projects; it gives a smooth progression from write one-time code, that gets re-factored and eventually packaged into a dependency. I think Livebook apps are vastly understated: I had once hacked together, during lunch hour, a prototype for a speech therapist application, that does real-time “chat” where the client do voice-recording + ASR for Cantonese using Whisper-v3 to generate a transcript. And I consider myself a n00b hobbyist.
v2 of the font will be accompanied by some web-apps (for legacy systems that don’t support one or more aspects of modern font rendering). Those will run off the same libraries, and have Phoenix / LiveView for an interactive experience (that requires minimum JS from me).
