> in using an immutable screen buffer, a change between frames results in allocation of a full buffer rather than overwriting memory within the buffer

That’s actually not how clojure’s immutable data structures work. They use structural sharing, so only the portion that changes (roughly) needs new memory allocated, and only the parts that changed get garbage collected, so it is a bit more efficient than that.
It's fun, it's well produced, the acting is decent, the children's games add a fun twist. It's a great way to spend a couple of hours over the weekend. And it's way, way better than most of the stuff that gets released on Netflix.

Not every movie has to be a work of art with a truly original story. If that were the case, non of the most successful movies of the past decade(s) should really exist.
The story itself will be made to suit you as well. They already do this with the news, so why not with fantasy universes?

If you're the cynical type who things large orgs are all messed up, you get a story where the protagonist looks like you and gets stuck in the same BS that you got stuck in.

The supervisor model reminds me a bit of how BEAM (Erlang/Elixir) works although I'm sure that's probably where the similarities end.

As much as most of this is way over my head, I'm always fascinated to read about new ground-up work like this.
No, Nix can't do everything, it can do the one thing it does, mainly it maintains immutable paths and allows to define derivations of any number of those paths using namespaced execution of build scripts.
All this is controlled using expression in the Nix language, which is
well suited for the intended purpose. It is in important aspect the opposite of Haskell.
Nix does so well what it does, that it is easy to use it where better solution exists (looking at you NixOps)

So I agree with some parts of your criticism,
on the other hand if Nix is be used to do the sensible subset of "CI servers, AWS deployments, build servers, testing, linting, dev package management, dev system environments, and more are", that would be great.

And what that subset is depends heavily on the given circumstances.

For me, being able to derive the "CI servers, AWS deployments, build servers, testing, linting, dev package management, dev system environments" things from a single source of truth, actually does sell Nix pretty nicely.

When approaching a complex, multi-component source repository, with the requirement for dev-environments, CI builds and generation of production ready Docker-images, a careful and not over-eager Nix build, seems a sensible choice, given that the layered nature of Dockerfiles and docker-compose obscures the DAG nature of built artifacts and dependencies.
Nix also doesn't build anything by itself, it merely invokes low-level build tools in isolated environments that only contain the specified dependencies.

Sure, when using Nix one is forced to explicitly state the dependencies of each (sub-component-) build-step, that results in more code than a bunch of RUN ...
calls in Dockerfiles.
Both approaches have their sweetspots.

An investment into learning Nix is done once. And you are completely right, that refactoring to a Nix based build takes weeks in a serious legacy software project. I wonder myself, if this will be worth it. Currently, I think that might be the case, and that part of the weeks put into the build are not due to Nix and would have been necessary for Docker-based builds, too, and also one can do a lot of stuff much easier with Nix, which leads to "feature-creep" like "oh let me add this preconfigured vim/emacs/vs-code into the build env" that one would probably not do if it weren't so easy to customize everything with overlays and overrides.

But that is a good thing, and it is much better to have a capable tool and critical discussions with colleagues to limit the usage of that tool, than the other way around.

Heck, I remeber when we switched to a Maven build, and had a build with all bells and whistles. That took weeks, too, and all the generated artifacts, like source code documentation sites, were probably a waste if time to implement.

I am not sure if that proves or disproves powerful, declarative and modular build systems.

Dockerfiles and docker-compose.yamls have a learning curve too, but more importantly, if you have to invest more time per build maintenance than with a Nix based build, it is only a matter time until that costs more than the nix approach.
The USA and UK, while not perfect, are absolutely more enlightened than, say, South Sudan or Saudi Arabia.
Yeah nhl is using the ice to show cg ads the localization I noticed was a wataburgur ad on the ice in MN during a Dallas Stars game, but I was in NC so the localization wasn’t tailored to my location, just to average stars fan location.
Their mention of individually restarting components and "flexible inter-component messaging" really reminds me of the BEAM. Very exciting!

>Wikipedia improved at a much faster rate, because it had an active community of volunteer contributors who were attracted to its decentralized, community-governed ethos.

Does being open contribution warrant the use of the word "decentralised"? as far as I can tell it's still a huge success story from a centralisation perspective.

It showed greedy, flawed people who _chose_ to leave a possibly capitalistic system (they actually dont discuss the outside world too much) and participate in a totalitarian hell hole as they are enticed with cash. Not out of lack of options, but due to messed up promises by the dictator in charge and their own greedy nature, or bad choices (like gambling debt, crashing a overlevered portfolio which is hardly poverty).

It is reminiscent of communist revolutions of the past where people choose to overthrow a system to establish a totalitarian system so that they can get some gain out of it.

I agree that ending an interview early is a no-go. However if it's an onsite/process with multiple interviews, I think the fairest approach (and I've done this in the past) is to manage expectations ahead of time that the full interview sequence only happens if you pass each one.

This way you don't waste the candidate or your time if it's clearly a no after interview 1. They feel a bit bad because they obviously didn't pass, but if you've communicated ahead of time it's not a rug-pull.

The future of OS design, if it has a future, is kernel bypass.

The kernel will only manage access to resources, usually described as the "control plane", while the data bypasses the kernel, via the "data plane", handed over to programs. Virtual memory mapping is another dead end. Programs will be compiled by a trusted compiler that makes memory misuse impossible, so there is no need to hide anything.

The huge mass of kernel-mode code in Linux the BSDs, and NT is a major liability.

Of course all the Posixy browser desktop stuff where performance doesn't matter will run under emulation.
The force multiplier graph shows how the risk of death changes depending on age and the curve is remarkable flat. If you are unsure what it is showing: it is the ratio of the risk of death by/with Covid at a particular age to the risk of death without. As the risk of dying rises rapidly with age, the absolute effect of Covid is becoming larger because it multiplies a larger base value. So, it's affecting almost all adults the same way, it is just that the sick and elderly start from a much worse point.

Beside that I believe that Taleb knowns how to calculate a weighted average.
I'm doing a lot of data viz work in different environments and solid is my goto tool. It is small and flexible so I can easily inject it in another page/project.

What is interesting, render function really is a function factory - like reagent form-2. That let you simplify "hooks rules", because they're called once and also let you factor your components more easily without much consideration for cost of the component abstraction.

My favourite feature is "opt-in" reactivity. In bigger data visualisations you must be conscious what would re-render in response to what change. If you have only component boundaries like in React it is very easy to waste re-renders and then you start adding useMemos and React.lazy. In Solid I can start from opposite side, and declare granular computed properties and Solid will take care of all re-renders.

It has few rough edges like special props object or "boilerplate" function calls. But that's some minor ergonomic issues.

In conclusion, thanks Ryan!
>How can smart people miss the point so completely?

They want to miss it so badly, it's simple cognitive dissonance. Some people don't want to accept that they had luck while others didn't. They have successfully convinced themselves that we are not all equals, that somehow there are people who are more deserving.
No, every city would license the $BigCorp logos for Stop and Yield and let $BigCorp police the streets. The logos would be updated frequently and drivers would need to have mandatory new training. Some cities would have a cheaper license in exchange for requiring citizens to share their movement data with $BigCorp.

To get from A to B, drivers would have to pass through $BigMac and wait 1 minute with the option to buy a 'meal' and continue on quicker.
I think many people don't reflect on the show's messaging beyond the surface level "catchy costumes and violence in a game show" aspect (which honestly wasn't even new when Arnold Schwarzenegger portrayed it in Running Man).

The social critique of Squid Game isn't the squid game. It's the world outside the game. It's why so many of the participants not only volunteer but also volunteer to come back after having already experienced it. The world outside the game show is portrayed as so bleak that hundreds of people would rather compete in a life-or-death "game" that promises fairness and a life-changing cash reward.

And the critical message of the show is that this world outside the game is not significantly different from ours. The game is a grotesque exaggeration of a get rich quick scheme but there are plenty of examples for people hoping to beat the odds or being willing to scam others for promises of great fortunes (look no further than the way the GameStock pump and dump was framed as a proletarian revolution until it was revealed most of the stock movement was the result of established investors jumping in to cash out on the gullible masses still tweeting "diamond hands" memes as the tide was starting to turn).

The cheap gore horror sells the show, but the implications of the story it tells, what people are willing to do to themselves and others for the promise of a carefree life, and how characters from all walks of life can end up in the gutter and devoid of hope, is why people dig their claws into it for more than just a few viral marketing memes. It speaks to the zeitgeist, especially during a pandemic that has repeatedly demonstrated failures of government and society, and economical interests being placed above the individual's well-being.

Before 2020 many people likely believed that their country would come together in a crisis like this, that people with power would forego their own interests for once an help out or that the wealthy wouldn't do less than even the bare minimum to contribute to the society that made them rich. In 2021 I don't think there are many people left having any such illusions about the systems they exist within.

So yeah, detached rich people betting on the dying and desperate like horses in a race strikes a chord with people right now. A show casually presenting a social reality in which poor people are willing to participate in such a "game" even more so. Note that this show's success on Netflix followed both The Platform and Snowpiercer (or the serialization thereof) as well as Parasite and Knives Out. There's a common thread between the themes of these films and Squid Game managed to strike the nerve.
> Meritocracy is a fallacious idea – a convenient lie told to those whose lack of wealth or social class leaves them at a distinct disadvantage.

This is a bit oversimplified. Meritocracy is not an outright fallacious idea, but depending on the subject, there is a certain threshold of opportunity above which it becomes the dominant force, and for many that threshold is out of reach.

For instance, learning to program is fairly "accessible" today, but even it has certain minimum requirements, a threshold of opportunity above which the playground becomes more equal: You need a computer, internet access, enough free time... eventually you need a job. The one that really generalises against meritocracy is "you need free time", because most of the world is fighting for their next paycheck and are not in a position to attempt to improve their life. I believe this is what the author is getting at, wealth and "social class" are just an indirect way of saying "the freedom to pursue more opportunities".

However throwing out meritocracy completely is not the solution to this, if replaced with ideas revolving around inclusivity and equality alone it will fall apart - meritocracy is part of equality, it's just not all of it, it doesn't automatically solve equal opportunity... And this is where I think the author is missing the point: the world, society, government does little to ensure equal opportunity - This is the point squid game is making, everyone starts equal unlike reality.
> Most common issue I've ever encountered with event sourcing is that devs submit events that when replayed, lead to invalid states.

This doesn't sound like event sourcing. It's likely your events aren't events or someone changed what your event handlers do at a later date instead of releasing a new version of the event.

Actually, the experience is really fluid for most people. There can be some edgecases where we have users reporting huge bufferings but that's rare and hard to diagnostic since often bound to the client.

Before the V3, we tried the live with more than 150people watching at the same time with some friends. 1/5 of the bandwidth was served by the server, P2P handled the rest.

> The sun! That? Nuclear fusion. That? Gravitational potential! That? Etc...

Minor pedantry on top of pedantry. The gravitational potential energy of a collapsing protostar gets you past the activation barrier for nuclear fusion, but isn't itself the source of energy beyond that.

Think of it like lighting campfire using friction. The friction heats up the kindling, but that investment allows you to access the potential chemical energy of the wood. The gravitational potential energy is converted into heat, and that investment allows you to access the potential nuclear energy of the unfused hydrogen.
This is pure anecdata and somewhat tangential to the article, but - I had multiple conversations, distinct from each other and completely unprompted, where people said they thought the hype for this show was manufactured. One person in particular said Reddit felt like someone "flipped a switch" and suddenly everything was Squid Game for a week. At first I didn't see it but after the Nth article breathlessly repeating the same points about the show's message one does wonder.
>The CEO responded. He doesn't agree that this is norm, but he can't, can he?

I think, the CEO responding has no impact at all, as the options for him is to reply exactly in the way he responded to this thread or not reply at all. Either way, he can not admit anything going wrong within his company, so it is meaningless.
Exactly! And, in addition to that complexity, there are scalability issues that are easier to solve with some amount of centralization. Would you rather build on a platform where you're paying a well known company or a platform comprised of a bunch of anonymous nodes trying to minimize operating costs?

That Filecoin thing is a great example. Yeah, I want to store my mission critical data on a bunch of EoL, consumer grade hard disks that someone is using to participate in the blockchain. /s

And no regulation isn't the utopia the crypto enthusiasts are selling. Don't completely unregulated systems typically end up dominated by the richest, most ruthless, least ethical participants?

I assume there are more.
That's the gist of it.
Speaking only for myself...

It's not that I'm wilfully blind to the flaws of the system I live in. It's that the overwhelming majority of people who offer critique offer absolutely nothing in the way of workable solutions. If the public intellectuals who came up with the doughnut economy, teal society, or the Rojavan system were having a talk in my town, I'd be very interested in going. But note that these people actually created something and spend very little time cataloguing flaws of the things they're seeking to replace. Nearly anyone can critique a thing that exists, and people who do nothing but criticise tend to rub everyone the wrong way.

More insidiously, there are often class interests at work motivating the criticisms or denials of meritocracy, and most people who enjoy having the chance to make a positive contribution to the world view that particular class with an extreme suspicion and often well-earned hostility. If you'd really like to understand how the other side thinks, I'd recommend this essay: https://thearchdruidreport-archive.200605.xyz/2016/01/donald...
Generalizing "war" to mean "competition" robs it of any independent meaning - and once you have done that, you need another word or term to use whenever you need to refer to what "war" actually means.
Maybe they were really serious about him until a rockstar turned up and then they couldn't just pass that up.
Others can run the nodes. The point is the network of nodes are distributed and no node is more important than any other. They are all just peers.

I didn't figure out it was popular until after I finished watching the show. Meanwhile, while watching the show, I was telling all my friends about how much I liked it and recommended it to them.

Your comment reeks of "I have superior taste and people who watch Squid Game are sheep". Just accept that some people might just really like this show while not being interested in the Manga you enjoy.
High manufacturing cost does not mean high value. A business is just finding something where the value is higher than the manufacturing cost. A bicycle has higher margins because it is truly a marvel of technology, while a car is basically just "yeah it will work if we throw enough fossil fuel at it".
No, it is not. It is objectively good. Tons of people have tried to make films like that and have failed. It's not a matter of rehashing the same old ideas and hopefully the writer hits the lottery and can enjoy never ending days on the beach.
