A few days ago my friend Mo and myself released the AKAP contract. This contract implements the AKA protocol, which only briefly is described as somewhat like LDAP for Ethereum. That in itself doesn’t tell you much. Only the especially interested will read the whitepaper, and think about the possibilities. Instead, what’s needed is to… Continue reading What’s next for AKAP?

Distributed computing is less binary, more probability
Since late 2011 I’ve been working on distributed computing platforms, where software that runs across more than one machine is running as what we’d call a cluster. Now, as I focus more on blockchain and DLT, a lot of the approaches to computing are similar. A lightweight version of the challenges with working on distributed… Continue reading Distributed computing is less binary, more probability
Rust, is this the next big thing?
In 2010 I wrote a blog post called “Node.js, is this the next big thing?” I came to think about that again this week when I randomly watched Yevgeniy (Jim) Brikman’s video about the Play Framework at LinkedIn. Combine this with the progress of Scala.js and ClojureScript and I think we can conclude that node.js was very… Continue reading Rust, is this the next big thing?

This morning, while browsing Hacker News, I found myself reading about Vitter’s reservoir sampling algorithm, with an example developed in Ruby. After spending a little bit of time… Continue reading Playing with Clojure and sampling algos

Not having been able to find an existing tool that ticked all my boxes, I ended up scratching my own itch and developed a small Java tool that runs in the background, monitoring a set of DynamoDB tables. The tool satisfy… Continue reading Building a better DynamoDB throughput scaling tool, part 2
