massicotte.orgStateless ActorsThe purpose of an actor is to protect mutable state. But even an actor with no state to protect can serve a purpose.

“GCD is still here and you should not be afraid to use it” I’ve been a (cautious) proponent of using stateless actors for file system access It works reasonably well. But could lull devs into a false sense of security i.e. adding an async call could inadvertently break the intended isolation

Matt Massicotte@massicotte.org

Recently, I was asked interesting question. If the purpose of an actor is to protect mutable state, is a stateless actor pointless? It is definitely something to look at closely, but there are some uses that can make sense. www.massicotte.org/stateless-ac...

Proper locks and queues still exist for cases where these are critical failures

jaimzuber.comAvoid Massive Actors with Empty Global ActorsThe most common way to think about actors is similar to structs and classes. They are a type with properties or methods defined.

I was "pulled over" by two young men impersonating police officers last night. This happened while driving on Ford parkway in St. Paul, around 10:40 Thursday night In the age of ICE this can not be tolerated. They may have taken more liberties with someone from a vulnerable community

I'm fine. It was immediately obvious they were some dumb-*ss kids. But who knows what would have happened with a more vulnerable person.

If you know someone in law enforcement with an Orange Pickup. Ask them where their kids were Thursday night

I did not engage and started to pull ahead to leave, they pulled the pickup along side me. Multiple times. And repeated their harassment. There was a parked car ahead which would have prevented me from accelerating quickly to leave.

They were clearly trying to impersonate police officers. "We're on a ride along". After 3-4 attempts I was able to merge back into the road. They then turned to go E on Ford Parkway.

Two young men (teens or early 20's) pulled me over and tried to convince me they were police officers I was driving West on Ford Parkway when an Orange Pickup aggressively tailgated me and blinked their lights. They appeared to be simulating a police interaction.

I pull over to let them pass. Instead them pulled along side me I rolled my window down to see what they wanted. The driver started yelling at me "You swerved when making U Turn" (I was driving straight from the ice rink on Snelling) "You're drunk"
