Been building an in-browser distributed system simulator to help get a grasp on tricky algorithms.

Here we can see
* simulated network latency between multiple 'clients'
* time travel to see previous states
* an "Explore" button that fuzz tests the system to shake out weird bugs

Am I becoming a fintech person? 😂

Added a simulation of a commodity market to my distributed system simulator.

Clients submit buy and sell orders (blue/right and orange/left, respectively); the server uses DB triggers to execute a trade when there's a match.

[Pete Vilter @vilterp]

Transparent means that the order hasn't made it to the server yet.

@replicache @convex @AntithesisHQ Overall, this feels like a powerful way to explore ideas in distributed systems!

@Zephraph @justinjaffray @recursecenter Aw shucks 🥺

[Pete Vilter @vilterp]

@Zephraph @recursecenter Feeling’s mutual! 🙏

[Pete Vilter @vilterp]

@Zephraph Interesting definition of “handwritten” 😛

Oppenheimer was by far the best film ever made about a contentious Secretary of Commerce confirmation process and it’s not even particularly close.

@justinjaffray Your rock would have a relational algebra tree on it…

[Pete Vilter @vilterp]

@justinjaffray 😂

[Pete Vilter @vilterp]

@justinjaffray Great suggestion

[Pete Vilter @vilterp]

@Zephraph @recursecenter @paulgb Grateful for you too dude!
