This is the first of (hopefully) a run of blog posts that have the speaking title “Linklist” - because they’re lists of links to interesting, fun or educating blogposts, websites or other stuff on the internet.

Contains (the/an) answer to “But where does maths apply to real life???”.Consistent Hashing If you haven’t read about consistent hashing yet, do it now. It’s a simple enough concept, he provides a working python implementation and it shouldn’t take you more than half an hour to read and understand it (given a decent maths and computer science background).
