How to migrate from Homebrew to Nix

#homebrew #brew #nix #nixos

I'll be honest with ya'll, you don't wanna get away from Homebrew completely, yes, I'll explain!

I've been using Nix package manager in all my MacOS machines about 3-4 months and I always kept Homebrew installed. You see, Nix is a very good package manager and with its home-manager, it becomes a good config farm as well. However, installing & managing GUI & unfree apps via Nix has been a quite painful experience for me. Sometimes, it wouldn't run properly, crash or wouldn't even start. Also, Nix doesn't have most of GUI packages that Homebrew has. Therefore, I keep homebrew and use it only for its "casks" registry to install GUI & unfree apps whereas having nix to manage dot file configurations and cli apps.

Here I describe a CosmWasm key value store that allows incrementing and decrementing values at a times in the future. For example, using this map a staking contract may increment claimable balances at time $now + unbondingDuration$ during an unstake transaction. I analyze its runtime and show that the complexity of a load is $O(1)$ and the complexity of a store scales with the number of times the unbonding duration has changed.

Let $snapshots$ be a map where $snapshots[key, time]$ holds the value of a key at a given time. If a $(key, time)$ pair does not have a value, its value is the most recently stored value for that key.

$$ times(k) = \{t \mid \forall (k', t) \in snapshots,k=k'\} $$

here i describe a design of a gas-efficent, ranked-choice voting system.

the problem

the most common form of ranked choice voting, instant run off, works like this:

voters submit a list of candidates sorted by their preference.
if there is an option with the majority of first-preference votes, that option is the winner.
otherwise, remove the option with the fewest first-preference votes from all preference lists and repeat.

Introduction

Osmosis is an automated market maker for interchain assets. Over the past 7 months, the adoption has continued to accelerate with nearly $1.5B in TVL as of the time of writing. Additionally, the AMM supports 33 unique assets and continues to add new assets as new chains join IBC.

Osmosis is unique from other Cosmos Chains with the implementation of an epochs module. The epochs module hooks the incentives and mint keepers to distribute various rewards once a day. With the growth of the network, increase in incentivized pools, the time to compute the epoch block and produce a NewHeight has increased to roughly 20 minutes.

New users are coming to Osmosis everyday and stay for its ease-of-use, access to many new assets, and incredible speed. The epoch block takes new users by surprise, and can be a negative experience. With more AMMs arriving in the IBC ecosystem, giving us
