Actor framework versus standard channels
Main Post:
Anyone using or considering https://github.com/anthdm/hollywood? I find the idea of actors very compelling but I also think one can go a long way by simply leveraging standard Golang channels/message passing. Thoughts?
Top Comment: So it seems to me that this library isn't as much about the actor model as much as it is about extremely high throughput message queues? Like, the actor model at its core is just this: func newActor[M any](f func(ch <-chan M), queueSize int) chan<- M { ch := make(chan M, queueSize) go f(ch) return ch }
Actor-like pattern in go
Main Post:
A possible implementation of the actor pattern in go. http://www.apertoire.net/actor-like-pattern-in-go/

I guess this is cool in the sense of "you-can-do-it" but it doesn't answer, to me, why one should do it.
I don't see why the actor pattern is even a good thing. It's a thing, but I remember reading something from Rich Hickey (of Clojure) who actually took Go's CSP model and put it into Clojure, and did not like the Actor model, for whatever that's worth.

It’s not often you get to see an actor go on for a role for the first time in years… congratulations to Cailen Fu on her Regina re-debut after not performing the role since she was in the Broadway company pre-shutdown!

From what I’ve gathered, the Mean Girls tour has been having some coverage issues this week and has flown in several emergency covers from the Broadway and previous National Tour companies. Tonight, Cailen Fu, who was the Gretchen/Regina standby for the second year of the Broadway run, re-debuted as Regina after making her tour debut as Gretchen last night. She was phenomenal.
Now that I think of it, yesterday/today was probably the first time she performed the show with all the tour changes, since they were only implemented on Broadway for 3 performances before the shutdown. Truly, I am in awe of all the understudies/standbys/swings in this show (and every show for that matter).
Unrelated but - the tour has removed the “she says her hair is blonde but it’s dark blonde” line entirely. I wasn’t sure if they had just been using an alternate line when Nadina Hassan was on (since she wears a brunette wig) but Cailen was blonde and the line was still “she says her Range Rover was a gift from her parents, but they lease it”
Another tangent - I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this show! I saw it on Tuesday and again tonight and just had a good time. I missed the show on Broadway but was familiar with the album so the changes (especially to It Roars) really threw me off at first, but I ended up really loving the inclusion of a bit of Fearless as a new Bridge for It Roars. (Not as fun: the people next to me tonight seemed to think it was appropriate to catcall Regina and Karen every time they appeared in costumes that were even a little revealing).

Have you ever seen an actor that makes you go "Huh, you look just like [historical figure]"? It just happened to me with Robert Aramayo (Behind her Eyes, Netflix) who looks just like the reconstruction of King Richard III

Game industry voice actors go on strike today.
Main Post:
Thought this was an interesting read. IMO voice acting is one of the driving forces that makes and break a game. We’ve come a long way from the OG Resident Evil dialog.
Top Comment: I imagine that they will struggle to gain a lot of rights, the studios has a big incentive to drag this out due to all of the recent AI Voiceacting progress, and even if they sign a contract, they probably dont want it to last that long.
Will SAG go on strike this week?
Main Post:
What's everyones general feelings on which way this goes? 3 days till the extension deadline. Still no sign of a deal. Not looking great. But 11th hour deals have happened in the past.
Top Comment:
There's a media blackout, so even if they were close on a deal we wouldn't know.
Gun to my head, I think a deal will be made on the 12th. Will definitely be interesting to see how it plays out though
Everyone stop what your doing and go watch one piece live action!!!!!!!
Main Post:
This show is so good I just finished the first episode and it's insane how everything is just like the manga and everyone acting is top notch. I'm going to finish the rest of the story but I will tell everyone this... I was hooked just by Rogers first scene alone but then zoro came on and OMG his scenes is impossible to describe it's magical what's happening in this show right now we definitely need season 2 and so on !!!!! Please stream this show on Netflix like no other

Everything is NOT like the manga, and that's okay. Stop spreading fake news. There are so many scenes they dropped and changed from the manga. No one should expect a 1:1 adaptation so stop giving people false ideas.
Everything is NOT like the manga. Live Action has its own story.
