After joining Finiam, I started looking more into how I used my keyboard, and how I could become more efficient with it. So I decided to make a heatmap of my keystrokes using Elixir, and then create aliases or easier configurations for things that I identify as the most used with the help of Karabiner-Elements.

With Quantum Computing we are in a similar phase as Engineers and Computer Scientists were in the ’40s or ’50s, developing the first classical computers. I don’t believe that quantum computers can fully replace our classical ones, but they surely will have a major role in our lives in the future, and we are just at the beginning.

A simulation of a game, weather, aerodynamic behavior, or any other action, has intrinsically the same goal - take a peek into the future and see how things will perform in real life. These simulations all require an extent of calculations and variables to take into account, but also a model that will elegantly run through them. Here we’ll see how to use Elixir and the Actor Model in an example simulation.
