Deterministic Simulation Testing in Rust: A Theater of State Machines

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-12-04 16:36:58

It's been just a year since we wrote about how we implemented deterministic simulation testing (DST) of our Go database (FrostDB). Since then, we have been hard at work writing our new database backed by object storage in Rust (read more here about why). In this blog post, I want to lay out the approach we took to build our new Rust database with DST principles front-and-center and how it compares to the approach we took with FrostDB. As a quick recap, DST tests are randomized full system integ

When James Hicks, 75, was diagnosed with heart failure, it felt like the beginning of the end. Mr. Hicks, a former railroad worker from Rogers, Ark., had quietly dealt with various health problems, from carpal tunnel syndrome in both arms to dual knee replacements. But now his heart was giving out, and the doctors chalked it up to the wear and tear of old age. “There’s just not exactly a surgery to fix this,” he said. Soon enough, Mr. Hicks couldn’t walk from his grandson’s high school basketb

A brief history of hardware epidemics

news.ycombinator.com Alan B 2026-02-23 14:18:39

Living creatures aren’t the only things to be ravaged by epidemics. Computers, even Macs, can die prematurely when there are widespread manufacturing failures. I’d like to unearth a couple of mass graves from the past that have surely contributed to landfill around the world: capacitor plague and lead-free solder, and a recent problem with butterflies. Capacitor plague 1999-2007 Capacitors or ‘caps’ have a chequered history. Acting as temporary stores of electric charge, they’re used extensive
