For the certification program at Redis University ( https://university.redis.com/ ), we previously used ProctorU because that's what other folks were doing -- proctored exams for certification. Buuut, after a while, we w

Async Python has proven faster in my uses for IO and non-CPU-related stuff. But I think Python, either as a community or within the language, needs to solve the anti-pattern of maintaining separate sync and async versions of a library. I&#x

You can use Redis for full-text search and some more SQL-like queries, including aggregations, with RediSearch: https://oss.redislabs.com/redisearch/

This matches my experience of 24-hour on-call DBaaS shifts.

Super sad. I interviewed at Samasource early in my career. They had a cool mission, and Ms. Janah seemed really inspiring. Glad she got to do so much with the time she had.

Very sad news. Most people I’ve met treat alcohol as a casual, mostly harmless substance. On the other hand, the world is filled with people dying quickly and slowly from alcohol addiction. This discrepancy can be very confusing, especially

You can start on the path right away. Before work every day, imagine your teammates and the things you like about them. Then ask, what would you need to know and do today to help keep the team safe and successful? What’s going on in the wor

Ah, ha! I KNEW I had read about this, but couldn't find my notes on it, so I didn't include it. Thank you!

I own a Surface device, an iPad Pro, and a Macbook Pro. While I write code on all of them, macOS is still the king of development environments. On macOS, you can just work. That's what the end goal should be in other platforms. I doubt

You know, I tried 16.04. 18.04 is worth a shot!

That's okay -- I'm sure they fixed something like that issue! The WSL team has been crazy busy, and their work so far is super impressive. VirtualBox shared folders had their own problems. `npm` wants to create symlinks for comm

Actually, it was as recently as this very week! Running with all the latest updates on a new Surface Book 2, I ran into a variation of this open issue: https://github.com/Microsoft/WSL/issues/1982 . That was o

I've been hearing this about WSL for a while now. However, I just spent a ton of time (like weeks) actually trying Windows 10 and the Windows Subsystem for Linux (for those who don't know what WSL is), coming from a Mac, and I got

Nothing I've found on the internet has yet replaced the sublime excitement I felt when dialing into a local BBS in a small town in California when I was a kid. There were maybe 4-5 people on at a time, but I still remember the total th

Oh my god. This is incredible. The thing that brings me back to the 90s the most is the tiled background on the Links page. I remember agonizing over those textures so hard.

Indeed. If you add an unsigned plugin (that is, one lacking a .safariextz file) to Extension Builder and try to install it from there, and you do not already have a developer certificate, you will see the message, "Without a Safari Ext

Indeed, it is good. And for non-trackpad-users, Shift-Command-\ is the keyboard shortcut for "Show All Tabs," which also makes the tabs searchable.

So far, I haven't found a way to stop Safari from uninstalling an unsigned extension when it restarts. Have you? Because that would be great! More conversation about this issue: https://forums.developer.apple.com/thread

Totally valid. If they were going to change one thing about Safari, though, for me it would be to drop the required $99/year payment for a developer program membership just to distribute a signed Safari plugin. You can't really di

Yeah, I should probably have a "Multiple Platforms" section in there to discuss issues like that different key bindings. Since I've remapped almost everything, I don't notice it as much.

VCS integration is pretty good. I still tend to use the command line for most stuff though, so I didn't include that feature in my review. Still, there are nice things like having a graphical indicator of changed lines in a file since
