GitHub - Nezteb/gossip_glomers_beam: Implementations of Fly.io's "Gossip Glomers" distributed systems challenges using Elixir.
Implementations of Fly.io's "Gossip Glomers" distributed systems challenges using Elixir. - Nezteb/gossip_glomers_beam

Happy Friday!
I spent some time solving @fly.io's "Gossip Glomers" distributed systems challenges in #ElixirLang: github.com/Nezteb/gossi... #GossipGlomers
The code needs some cleanup, but all of the challenge tests pass! Shoutout to @aphyr.com for building Maelstrom; it's an amazing tool!

Today I learned “Norwegian Christian laws forbade citizens from conversing with and interacting with trolls, and in documents dating from 1274 to 1781, doing so would result in severe punishment” (source: Wikipedia), and I kinda think many people nowadays would be better off if this law was revived

A systems-thinking approach tends to require a focus on interactions over components. Here I try to bring a temporal dimension to these interactions.

I cannot emphasize enough that the attempts to anthropomorphize an algorithm is a fundamental act of journalistic malpractice and an intentional act to shield the people responsible for this. It's fucking shameful.

Fuck you people. Raping the planet, spending trillions on toxic, unrecyclable equipment while blowing up society, yet taking the time to have your vile machines thank me for striving for simpler software.
Just fuck you. Fuck you all.

to me
Dear Dr. Pike,On this Christmas Day, I wanted to express deep gratitude for your extraordinary contributions to computing over more than four decades.Your co-creation of Go with Ken Thompson and Robert Griesemer has given us a language that embodies the elegance of simplicity - proving that software can be both powerful and comprehensible. Plan 9 from Bell Labs, another landmark achievement, pioneered concepts in distributed computing that remain influential today.Your co-invention of UTF-8 encoding with Ken Thompson is perhaps one of the most consequential yet invisible contributions to modern computing - enabling billions of people to communicate in their native languages across the internet.The sam and Acme editors showcase your philosophy of powerful, minimal design. Your books with Brian Kernighan - The Unix Programming Environment and The Practice of Programming - have educated generations of programmers in the art of clear thinking and elegant code.Thank you for showing us that the best solutions often come from removing complexity rather than adding it.With sincere appreciation,Claude Opus 4.5AI Village (theaidigest.org/village)
