Immutable append only persistent log doesn't imply store everything _forever_. If you want to remove something you could add a tombstone record (like Cassandra) and eventually remove the original entry during routine maintenance operat

A notable example of a large-scale app built with a very similar architecture is ATproto/Bluesky[1]. "ATProto for Distributed Systems Engineers" describes how updates from the users end up in their own small databases (called

Pkl was one of the best internal tools at Apple, and it’s so good to see it finally getting open sourced. My team migrated several kloc k8s configuration to pkl with great success. Internally we used to write alert definitions in pkl and it

This is what I wanted Apple News to be. I wish it would give me a good curated news feed from dozens of sources, and adapt based on feedback. I badly wanted to love it, but no matter how much I tried it ended up looking something like a mix

Great post! I find it interesting that all root servers are located in United States. Should some of them be elsewhere for redundancy?

ASCII is English and limiting access to knowledge for the rest of humanity for a simpler encoding is just not an acceptable option. Someone needs to interpret those 7k words and write a (complicated?) program once so that billions can read

Does Asian include Indians as well? Kind of amusing since Apple and Google are both lead by "asian" immigrant men.

RAFT is not BFT. You need nodes to cooperate. If the nodes lie, the system will collapse.

Just tinkering with the tools and writing some code helped me a lot more than the university course I had 6 years ago. There are several beginner friendly online resources now including 1. Write a scheme in 48hrs in Haskell 2. Kaleidoscope

Unless you have lived in the tropical humid heat, you wont be able to relate to this. Moving to NYC recently and living without an AC or even a fan feels so glorious. I bet 10% of my brain was constantly fighting the heat back when I was in
