I have yet to find something that makes the lapwork of deploying projects to your own machines less of a pain. Is Kamal the best option?

TIL that SmartRent forked the #ElixirLang Styler project to actually make it configurable. Quokka is the Credo-but-just-fix-it-for-me that I've wanted for 6 years of doing Elixir. 😍 😍 😍

While working on Colocated Hooks in LiveView, we also found some other cool things you can do, such as rendering markdown at compile time 👀 #MyElixirStatus #ElixirLang #PhoenixLiveView

$An Elixir module with contents: defmodule ColocatedDemoWeb.Markdown do @behaviour Phoenix.Component.MacroComponent @impl true def transform({"pre", attrs, children}, _meta) do markdown = Phoenix.Component.MacroComponent.AST.to_string(children) {:ok, html_doc, _} = Earmark.as_html(markdown) {"div", attrs, [html_doc]} end end$ A LiveView render function with contents:

def render(assigns) do
~H"""
<pre :type={ColocatedDemoWeb.Markdown} class="prose mt-8">
## Hello World

This is some markdown!

```elixir
defmodule Hello do
def world do
IO.puts "Hello, world!"
end
end
```

```html
<h2>Hey</h2>
```
</pre>
"""
end

A LiveView render function with contents:

def render(assigns) do

<pre :type={ColocatedDemoWeb.Markdown} class="prose mt-8">

```elixir

def world do
IO.puts "Hello, world!"
end
end

<h2>Hey</h2>

end

Back to classic proc gen today. What ways are there of subdividing a rectangle? I enumerate the *irreducible* subdivisions, which imho are the most visually interesting.

Exploring Rectangle Subdivisions

Last week, I saw a talk on Vuntra City, a procedurally generated city with a fully explorable city. Developer Larissa Davidova explained that she settled on using Recursive Subdivision for the city…
