GO IS KOREAN, LISP IS JAPANESE
Recently I took a fresh at look at the Go programming language after having last taken a look at it before version 1.0 was released back in 2009. What I’ve found in just a few days is shocking in a really really good way.
LESSER KNOWN ORIGINS OF THE TECHNICAL INTERVIEW

DEAR RECRUITER - A CANNED RESPONSE TO A CANNED EMAIL

SOME THOUGHTS ON CONSENSUS ALGORITHMS FOR BLOCKCHAINS
Most #ShitCoin consensus algorithms are based on Proof Of Stake. This is no coincidence. This allows for centralized control of what are essentially just digital fiat currencies and enable the same fraud we’ve seen in most economies that have their paper fiat currency gamed by banks and government. The loudest voices on blockchain tech know the least. Proof Of Stake chains rest on circular logic fallacies and a misunderstanding of fungibility and forks.
FEDORA ZEN KERNELS
Having recently built a custom workstation based on AMD’s Zen3 5900X chip I cooked up some optimized kernels for my Linux distro of choice : Fedora. You can find the RPMs here –> https://imagine27.com/fedora-ryzen-kernels and the source here –> https://github.com/jgrant27/ryzen-fedora-kernelEnjoy ! My custom built 5900X workstation cost $1,200 and destroys a $12,000 MacPro

HELLO IMMORTAL WORLD WITH RUST
Bastion is a highly-available, fault-tolerant runtime system with dynamic dispatch oriented lightweight process model. Features Message-based communication makes this project a lean mesh of actor system. Without web servers, weird shenanigans, forced trait implementations, and static dispatch. Runtime fault-tolerance makes it a good candidate for distributed systems. If you want the smell of Erlang and the powerful aspects of Rust. That’s it! Completely asynchronous runtime with NUMA-aware and cache-affine SMP executor.
