Just the state tax credits alone amount for ~$219k per "job". How much money does a Foxconn worker need to make for how long to make up $219k in tax payments? Seems pretty damn silly to me to pay a company to come here from China,

The existing implementation is a proof of concept. It works as advertised, but any key that is written to as part of script execution gets dumped using the same internals that the DUMP command uses. For a handful of small keys, where EVALTX

It is actually for the earlier list. The best-case scenario in existing Redis is that you can force the script to exit early with partial errors, unless you are explicitly keeping your own operational log (because Redis doesn't). The p

Having stored money values in Redis several times in the past (sometimes without replicas at all!), the answer is knowing how much you can trust the system. I trust enough to get the job done, but not enough to get bitten when these syste
