Hey all,
I wrote a bit this week about my struggles in finding a fast, safe way to do a hex dump from within an Elixir application. The articles goes through a few possibilities, presents their drawbacks, and then lands on a final DIY solution.
Check it out, and let me know what you think!
Here’s a tangentially related follow-up to my last post. I’ve been working on this for a while, and publishing a lot of content leading up to it. Check out my newest article on “Connecting an Elixir Node to the Bitcoin Network”.
It’s a big article that covers a lot of ground, but I’m extremely excited about it. Let me know what you think. Hopefully someone finds it interesting or helpful. I’m sure I’ll continue down this vein in future articles.
Another alternative is to use Luerl which a complete standard Lua 5.2 implemented in Erlang. Can be truly sandboxed if necessary. GitHub - rvirding/luerl: Lua in Erlang · GitHub Yes, it’s by me. I could not add a comment to the blog post.
I actually do use luerl and the sandbox implimentation in the develop branch in the blog post, unless you ment something else?
Hi everyone! I have been casually learning Elixir for a while and I also started blogging about it recently. I’d love to use it in production some day. My first article is an introduction to Plug. Enjoy!
I’ve been playing with property-based testing in my personal projects lately. I found a perfect opportunity to put it to use when writing a decoder for the Bitcoin BIP-39 encoder I previously built and wrote about.
Property testing actually found a bug in my original implementation that I definitely wouldn’t have caught through manual testing! This was an eye opening experience for me for sure.
Check out the full article for more of an explanation, and a runthrough of the decoder’s implementation: Reversing BIP-39 and the Power of Property Testing.
Hopefully someone else finds all of these Bitcoin-related articles interesting. I know I do.
