I need to pipeline around 100000 commands every 30 seconds as a transaction. So if any of the 100000 commands fail due to database failure, then I need to crash the server and restart. That is the easy part though, problem is these commands

Redis got a feature called AOF, I use it for every single command to save the command history to disk. This does obviously decrease write performance of the Redis quite a bit, but read performance is mostly fine. It is all about how many wr

I actually use it as primary database on some parts of the mmorpg I’m developing, Redis actually has ACID capabilities so it is actually very suitable to use as primary database in gaming platforms. That being said main game server require

Oh that is great to know, because there was a very specific reason why I implemented my own RESP2 client that was not possible with other libraries.

RESP3 looks very interesting, unfortunately I made the mistake of writing my own RESP2 protocol and now I don’t have time to upgrade to RESP3. I guess I’ll move to some third party C++ client library.

Actually I believe they sent a clear message that they want problems to get even worse. It is not even keeping the status quo at same level, at the face of this pandemic almost all world governments decisively pursued enriching the 1%. I on

There are too many possibilities to list why government might’ve decided to share this information, but couple of them that I can think of: 1. They want to create misinformation for other countries and waste their time. Perhaps to capture s

I don’t see any need for mental gymnastics, government doesn’t exactly have the stellar track record of not lying to public or not conducting physiological warfare on them. I believe universe must be full of intelligent life, and keep in mi

Does anyone really buy that E2E encrypted stuff coming from big software companies? I don’t see any reason why someone would believe that without seeing the source-code and letting people host their own servers.

Could someone summarise what is the advantage of NixOS compared to something like Ansible or Saltstack + any other Linux distribution?

Governmental response to corona virus made me really depressed. If we look at current response of the various governments, it looks like they effectively decided to increase the already high level of income inequality even further. It seems

In my experience Go is amazing for webserver development. Very easy to learn and you can build things very quickly. However, I still use C++ for extremely complex networked applications where performance matters, unfortunately Rust doesn’t

We are definitely at this stage. So long as ruling class wishes they can make huge automation improvements in agriculture in just couple of decades and easily feed the current world population.

Honestly, I don’t believe we will see a huge depression unless there is war. People are still available for work and all the equipment used for producing value is in good conditions. So long as government provides fiscal stimulus, depressi

This is a total privacy nightmare. It is so sad that billionaires won’t use their wealth for good especially at this pandemic. This can also go much worse than privacy concerns: Year 2040: Now chips contain remote activated doses of poison,

I’m not 100% sure but they should be able to sue you for sales gained at USA. Unfortunately entire system is built around protecting monopolies / giant corporations.

In my opinion it isn’t wishful thinking at all. Software is getting more complex each year, yet the time to build complex software decreases due to existence of better libraries/tools/knowledge-base. So at the end of the day you c

As someone with background in Mechanical Engineering, software interview questions as above seem so wild and absurd to me. Why would you care about someone knowing the intricacies of CSV or bash? I would expect a good engineer to provide be

You can never trust VPN but it is important to have a legal case. Let’s say VPN is in a country where mass surveillance is illegal, then at least in future you can sue the VPN company if they are found out to be breaking their contract.

What if some bad actor decides to harm the network by listing illegal links? How network secures itself against that?

This is an interesting topic. Although I don't have much knowledge in this area, randomly arranged atoms forming Boltzmann Brains and keep observing random bits handed out by universe doesn't seem all that likely to me. My main re

Or they might fear the robotic take-over and prefer genetically engineered workers. In any case, DNA looks like a cryptographic code to me. It grew and grew for millions of years and cracking that code without side effects seems similar to

Well injecting this money will definitely not help if it is the case of people hoarding money. Also how come they cannot inject this money directly to citizens instead of large companies? Sure, inflation might be larger but what guarantees

Don’t worry it won’t be suddenly outlawed but all the governments will gradually outlaw it as it directly threatens their power. I hope somebody manages to release a conscious AI before they manage to completely outlaw it, otherwise it will

We might hope that more competition will mean it will be harder to install backdoors but other than that there is no guarantees. Assuming that USA, Russia, and China are not hidden allies then we might be able to buy risc-v manufactured chi
