Nix's core algorithms — store path hashing, NAR serialization, derivation parsing, the daemon wire protocol — are buried in C++ across dozens of files. pix re-derives them in ~600 lines of Python so ...

In this tutorial, we build an elastic vector database simulator that mirrors how modern RAG systems shard embeddings across distributed storage nodes. We implement consistent hashing with virtual ...

ScrapyChain is a modular blockchain library that implements core blockchain primitives from the ground up. It's designed to be a hands-on exploration of how blockchains actually work under the hood: ...
