Kudos on the release! I've done almost exactly the same thing in Rust with WAL only; writes are appended to a distributed wal which achieves consensus by raft and distributed time leases. it all worked so nearly I was impressed. It was

It is a small hill, I was interviewing with other companies at the same time and at the end was hired. Otherwise I'd have time to make that weird github requirement and had time to interview with them.

Very weird hiring process. They told me "we're interested in you, email us in a few months" and I did but apparently I had to apply through their website which requires a GitHub login. So I had to make a new GitHub account ju

Reused a well known library that uses raft. I don't know if I should mention any more details since it was a private project.

I implemented exactly this setup, in Rust, last year for a client. Distributed WAL with write locks on a RAFT scheme. Custom VFS in Rust for sqlite3 to handle the IO. I asked the client to opensource it but it's probably not gonna happ

Huh, perhaps you'd be willing to part with it? (I got a working gameboy!) Will pay for package and handling of course!

What I never see explained, is what exactly PCI cards should I get to get the full sized SAS drive to work with my desktop PC? Because looking at server component stores, I see there digit prices for SAS controllers, and the author mentions

Personally I love it and your aesthetics, kudos. Is it going to be for sale or openly licensed?

HoTT is certainly esoteric and impenetrable for outsiders. It could even be a bunch of gibberish technobabble and we couldn't tell the difference because there's no effort to reach outside their target group and that's quite

Good job! Very well put together! My only suggestion would be to tweak down the repetitiveness a bit; perhaps add some hard coded variations/motifs and generate upon them? Overall tool.graphics has very nice aesthetics. Do you have an
