Greetings from #sd25! It's a two-day single-track conference hosted by
@tigerbeetle.com. I'll be aiming to liveskeet as many of the talks as I can. Super excited to be here!

Systems Distributed '25
A conference to teach systems programming and thinking, and how to apply these ideas. All the way across the stack. From systems languages and compilers, to databases and distributed systems.

It's interesting to see that the industry isn't strictly clamouring to find out how their products are being used and baking all that infrastructure into the product 👀 What's notably not mentioned are products that RapidRecast competes with: Solace, Apache camel, Pie Socket etc. #streaming #realtime

New post! I wrote about malaise in the streaming space. I'm not sure what's going on, but I'm thinking part of it has to do with Kafka.

Thanks! The paper already exists - accord high throughout transactions. There is also inconsistent replication paper which is also leaderless, but not strict serialisable. Choosing which to use depends on product you are making

I'm going to do something really cool with rapid recast.

I'm currently implementing a leaderless consensus algorithm with sharding to add fault tolerance and scalability.

I'm then going to put it into a p2p cluster.

Watch this space.

Rust conundrum:

Gameboy advance provides sqrt via bios for unsigned natural 32bit numbers. To get the required accuracy, you shift the bits before and after sqrt.

Rust provides sqrt compilation logic for f32.

I love how jboss remote protocol 2 AND 3 are completely undocumented and people... Don't seem to give a damn? Didn't dig much but I tried. This isn't for @rapidrecast.io but for xmage. #mtg #java

Do you hate Tower?

I've got just the answer for you.

Not only do I demystify how Tower works, but I also provide several design patterns that are universal (even beyond Tower and Rust).

Going live on Twitch again.

Today, I'm adding Lua to RapidRecast.

RapidRecast requires a way to configure be configured, programmatically.

I think I can achieve that in Lua, JavaScript, and even WebAssembly.

Come join!

I like bluesky and Reddit for the same reason. Content gets the same predictable traction. The algo is fair.

LinkedIn on the other hand seems like an absolute scam.
