   I checked the benchmarks page [0], they run the Redis in same machine. And also, running Redis in different machine and connecting over networking isn't same compared to using diskcache. > SQLite runs in the same process as your app

    I went through the wiki, certainly it was interesting. I believe the implementation is at fastlock.cpp [0], I will go through it. You said earlier: > If we spin too long the thread will sleep although we wait much longer than any other l

    Thanks for the recommendation. Most of the comments here suggesting Chrome Extension or tamper monkey scripts, but I can’t use them on my iOS phone. To the HN mods, dark mode is an accessibility feature. Please consider adding it

    > How is this possible? Surely reads from RAM are faster than disk? even I am so surprised. I will try to run the benchmarks myself and see. but... can anyone really explain how can a disk based solution be faster than RAM
