Viewing profile — whispem

WhispHub is a platform I built to showcase developer projects, focused on discoverability. I launched it April 29. This weekend I published the CLI: cargo install whisphub whisphub…

Hi HN, I built Whispem, a small interpreted programming language implemented in Rust. The goal was not to be fast or feature-rich, but understandable. Every feature must justify it…

Yes, in minikv, I set up GitHub Actions for automated CI. Every push or PR triggers tests, lint, and various integration checks — with a typical runtime of 20–60 seconds for the co…

minikv actually supports a fully S3-compatible API (PUT/GET/BATCH, including TTL extensions and real-time notifications). By default, the storage engine is segmented/append-only wi…

Yes, I do split my working tree into separate commits whenever possible! I use interactive staging (git add -p) to split logical chunks: features, fixes, cleanups, and documentatio…

Absolutely: for all meaningful work I prefer small, logical commits using git add -p or similar, both for history clarity and for reviewer sanity. In initial “spike” or hack sessio…

There’s not an “official” image on Docker Hub yet, but the repo ships with a ready-to-use Dockerfile and a Compose cluster example. You can build with docker build . and spin up mu…

Very relevant question! The memory profile in minikv depends on usage scenario and storage backend. - With the in-memory backend: Every value lives in RAM (with HashMap index, WAL …

Thanks for the feedback and for the question! A number of choices in minikv are explicitly made to explain distributed system ideas clearly, even if not always optimal for hypersca…

Thank you for this sharp and detailed question! In minikv, both Raft and 2PC are purposefully implemented, which may seem “overkill” in some contexts, but it serves both education …

Thanks!

Yes! I'll check as soon as possible

No, I was helped (.md files only) by AI to rewrite but the majority of the doc is written by myself, I just asked for help from the AI for formatting for example.

I don't see the problem to be honest

Thanks a lot! I make distinct commits "every 30s" because I'm focused and I test my project. If the CI is green, I don't touch of anything. If not, I work on the project until the …

I had the opportunity to request a review of my first post (which was flagged) following my email to the moderators of HN. I didn’t use AI for the codebase, only for .md files & th…

Hello! Thank you for your message. I don’t know this project, do you have a GitHub link maybe?

Yes, I know. I had the opportunity to request a review of my first post (which was flagged) following my email to the moderators of HN. After checking, the moderator told me to red…

Hi HN, I'm Emilie, I have a literature background (which explains the well-written documentation!) and I've been learning Rust and distributed systems by building minikv over the p…

I already said that the code was 100% handwritten but the .md files and scripts. I don't see the problem here.
