To be honest, I haven’t played around with any of the eink displays. But I know Lars has done some work with them on Nerves underjord.io/an-eink-disp...

Thanks for the feedback. Unfortunately my open source time is extremely limited these days and I won’t be able to implement any of the aforementioned features. But happy to work with you and merge in a PR that makes these things easier.

It was a very odd experience to put on the Clockwork Pi uConsole.

Suddenly it is an Elixir-only computer.

The civic is currently auto, and the new motor comes with a manual transmission so it'll be getting a full conversion!

I actually have not run that benchmark to see what's faster. I would suspect that :ets.file2tab is faster....but I have absolutely 0 data to back up that claim haha. Someone should totally put together a benchee comparison of the 2 😄

For eaglemms.com I have a whole bunch of read only data like year/make/model data for cars. Some of my DETS files are 100+ MB and I load them from DETS -> ETS on application init. It's data that only needs to be freshened up once a quarter and it is a hot path for everything else in the app.

That is exactly what I am saying! I used to do something similar with CSVs....but my CSVs actually got so large that it was stalling application start up by a few seconds. Loading DETS -> ETS was instant!
