What I have found gripping

  • In Elixir programming, the command iex -S mix compiles files in the iex (Interactive Elixir) console

  • There are fewer libraries for parsing RSS feeds in Elixir than in Python or Go

  • DNS is an acronym for Domain Name System

  • CNAME records are not meant to point to the root of a domain

  • CNAME flattening is a feature allowing to point the root domain of a website to a CNAME record e.g. CNAME | example.com
