Been reading a lot about custom memory allocators. This got me interested. I coded a few variants of simple allocator in rust lang. A lean allocator - 1 syscall during init and then merely manage it throughout. FYI, It overrides rust's own alloc.

Look what I found on YT. This guy streams every week I guess and he is trying to build a kernel in C. Crazy stuff. youtube.com/watch?v=iidgpK…

not tonight ladies i have to contribute code to open source

Week 4 - Empowered Coder cohort 7 - Structured concurrency vs dynamic structured concurrency - design of async runtimes - Introduction to distributed systems - Exploring CAP Theorem and its shortcomings We will be reading Map Reduce paper. check out - empoweredcoder.com

Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Compiled and Vectorized Queries But Were Afraid to Ask vldb.org/pvldb/vol11/p2… (pdf)

My bet: - Infrastructure level tooling in Rust (well defined problems / slow-moving targets / big perf ROI considering the scale of the ecosystem) - High-level tooling / applications in JS/TS (better dev velocity, fast enough, lower complexity, lower barrier for contribution

As a knowledge worker, one should aim to establish a substantial independent body of work. As a Programmer - Research papers -> Open source contributions -> Well maintained Github -> Technical blogs

Which books do you want to re-read or have already re-read? Here are some I can revisit: - Why nations fail - Zero to One - The Black Swan - Engineering a safer world - Principles of Mathematical Analysis - Merchants of Doubts - A Mathematician's Apology

my first library 'consistent hashing with bounded loads' has been published on Go packages 🎉 v1.0.2 (latest)

I loved this take on Antithesis's website. I hope this becomes norm. Ghosting is never nice. I dislike the power imbalance. Kudos to these folks!

This was a super interesting read. Understanding Push vs Pull query engines. justinjaffray.com/query-engines-…

A company which will truly build AGI will be - Open source - decentralized (peer-to-peer) - geographically distributed compute - Edge native - privacy focused - remote-first - written in modern systems language

It will likely take at least a year before you feel comfortable with the new tech skill you're learning.

He is made for tests. Ash Anna take a bow.

Session 5, cohort 7: We spoked about - - understanding 'safety' in context of future of various programming languages like scala, cpp. - Non-determinism in concurrency/dist systems (intro to deterministic simulation testing) - system models of distributed systems - network
