To be honest until today I thought Kafka was the popular go-to Redis replacement, as almost none of my employers used Redis for its original, intended purpose, namely being an in-memory key-value store. What they really wanted was RabbitMQ.

Bats carry, but don't develop rabies so they don't usually attack dogs on their own - except for self defense, when they're attacked by a dog. Rabid dogs are typically aggressive and spread the infection on their own.

I think this was overhyped in the media. I live at 51°N and apartments in my building that face the south largely have AC. I've seen a lot of AC company vans in my neighborhood lately, so I guess many people pulled that trigger this ye

The question should be "where did they go?" - to Switzerland, years ago already. How do I know? I've met them there. My project of close to 40 people was over 80% German. Contractors overall were mainly German as well. And it

I'm happy I wasn't able to activate cruise control in the Karoq that I rented some time ago. VAG interfaces were always confusing to me and this behaviour would be more so. I see signs recognized like that all the time, so use sat

Seeing it in the flesh is the reason why I don't believe too many people actually read the original (and not the abridged version). It's a brick! And poorly written at that. The man had no talent for the arts.
