The old title claimed it was 50x faster than Redis with no analysis or discussion of tradeoffs. You had to read the fine print to even see the comparison was apples to oranges.
If the comparison were well handled, delving into the architecture tradeoffs, it could be fascinating. But this was just a cheap ploy to get clicks. Now the title has changed, my acidic tone is no longer justified.
- brudgers 10y agoThe former title was in place when I wrote my comment. For what it's worth, according to the guidelines for 'Show HN' an acidic tone is inappropriate. People expose themselves to significant psychological/social risk when posting their own work online as their own work. Show HN is intended to provide a safe productive space. In general, an acidic tone is a bit at odds with HN's general guideline of civility.
