Working on https://github.com/codeadict/gen_http a low level HTTP client library for Erlang that full featured clients can build on top of. Erlang's default HTTP client httpc is great but has a lot of process overhead, consumes memory and doesn't support HTTP2. This is heavily inspired by Mint in Elixir
Neither Cuba or Venezuela held elections for a while and they put in jail or disappear anybody that says the minimum word about the ruling government, not even fighting just saying anything. (source born and raised in Cuba and all my family lives there, just this week one teacher got 10 years in prison for writing something about the president ). Cuba had oil from Venezuela and instead of using it for the actual people and electricity, they were selling it to third party countries to enrich GAESA the company of the Castro family that even the president of Cuba has no control over. So the people are no worse now with the US tensions, everybody there wants a little help to end the suffering caused by commies for years.
That's my point. Regardless of moralizing judgments about which country is more violent, corrupt, or morally "superior", they didn't follow the USA program and suffered the wrath of telling a fragile ego man being told "no thank you". America behaves like gangster and is no better, it merely follows might makes right while lecturing everyone else how everyone else "should" behave.
Focused mostly on my food blog at https://soulfulsabor.com , producing recipes and new content. Tinkering with my own static blog engine focused on recipe blogs written in Elixir as right now it uses Wordpress and is a pain to manage and pay for plugins for everything. I might Opensource it once it's polished and works for my case
Still working on my favicon fetching API: https://fetchfavicon.com. Currently adding comparison pages with other services. Also learning a lot of SEO and video editing for https://soulfulsabor.com, a food blog that I started with my wife.
My absolute one would be Don Quijote de La Mancha by Cervantes - Taught me the beauty of language, to follow my own ideas and the power of a little craziness. Second would be anything from Jules Verne, his books got me to love science and engineering when I was a kid.
Im working on yet another "what's my IP address?" site: https://ipparrot.net for the fun of it. It's written in Elixir and currently working on adding a structured whois tool and plan to add more networking tools. You can also use curl like:
Yeah, we killed the mosquitoes that don't let us sleep and gave us Dengue every month because the gov can't provide electricity and if you protest you dissapear to jail
My Latin American friends working in construction would not believe this, they are paid crap, and is the American construction company owner who pockets most of the money.
Depends on what they're working in. A certified plumber, electrician, furnace/gas, HVAC specialist, all command market rates set by tgeir associations. Tilelayers, bricklayers, carpenters and cabinet makers also have set rates. There isn't much left that's unregulated, perhaps framing, drywall/plaster, hardwood/vinyl flooring, painting and landscaping.
