It's definitely possible (I'm part of a new tech worker cooperative). Cooperatives can be many legal structures, though you need your bylaws to reflect cooperative principles (one member one vote, etc). Here's a list of tech coops if you'd like to know some others: https://github.com/hng/tech-coops
Congrats on the launch! Looks like you can only play one game as a guest before getting stuck in a loop when hitting "play now" between "forgot to buy items?" and "you must be logged in to buy". I also wasn't sure which one was the base to defend once I'd wandered off.
The cool thing is that you can, with the BEAM, connect your shell[0] to a running server and use something like recon_trace[1] to watch functions as they’re getting called. The same principle is used for libraries like this distributed profiler so you can watch the aggregate performance of your application[2].
I've been finding Livebook (https://livebook.dev/) really useful for iterating on a script or manipulating some data in a reproducible way. I'll often try out one solution and if that doesn't work, create a new section and collapse the old one to be able to go in a different direction.
This uses GPT-3 to find a word "halfway" between two others and it's built with Elixir, Phoenix, and Ash (https://ash-hq.org/) and is deployed on Fly.io.
The point of the control room in CyberSyn wasn't to make second-by-second or minute-by-minute decisions but rather on longer timescales like days or weeks. In Brain of the Firm, Beer argues specifically against overloading it with numbers and that it should be a "thinking room".
For those who've switched over to Firefox recently and find Youtube inexplicably slow, it's "because YouTube's Polymer redesign relies on the deprecated Shadow DOM v0 API only implemented in Chrome." [0]
> - However the worst thing so far to me has been i have watched as UI developers go from writing simple rest queries, and doing a bit of work on the front-end to writing extremely inefficient and convoluted queries. Even worse is when a third party is doing it and i have no say over what they do with it.
To your last point, there are a few ways you can provide feedback on or limit the cost of your queries. I'd recommend checking out Github's article on resource limitation [0] and the section on query cost analysis in an article by the Apollo team [1].
I'm happy to share more - I'll send you an email.
