Idea Inspired by Spark (thesaurus.com has radiate as a synonym to Spark), this is an academic project to learn Rust, get smart about cool data projects in the Rust ecosystem and do something fun. Goals User focused SDK Easy quickstart; it just works Course and fine grained configuration levers; profiles and full control A REPL Fast (find some Spark Benchmarks for fun) Data Frame and SQL interfaces should be available (Datafusion can probably help here) Intuitions (Probably Wrong) Apache Arrow is the foundation of the ‘big-data’ world.

Enjoyed a week of relaxation at the beach. I want to do something similar to the Tim Ferriss 5 Bullet Friday where I share stuff that I found interesting this past week. Podcasts I enjoyed: The Tim Ferriss Show episode with Dustin Moskovitz. I’m playing around with the time budget google sheet template. The Ethan Hawke episode of Armchair Expert resonated with me. Lots of conversation around taking risks and learning from failure.

I have wanted to run a website for a bit to capture fun things that I am up to. I was inspired listening to “The Tim Ferriss Show” with Derek Sivers episode. In particular, I thought it was super cool the way Sivers achieves tech independence and decided to give it a try. This site may be nothing or something, but I want to share things I’m learning and practice my writing.
