Streams are kinda cool but they have a distinctly different feel than the other data-types in Redis. They've got this invisible statefulness. Last ids, consumer group state, etc. I've tried implementing a couple little things with

This is what existential terror looks like. In the face of something incomprehensible and impersonal, OP decides to spend a while rearranging the deck chairs. Nothing has changed, but perhaps OP felt a little better about himself for a whil

So some guy realizes that the vast resources and top-down direction available at large corporations don't translate to a huge open-source project (which itself is compromised of tons of open-source projects)? And it took him 10 years t

I'm reminded that it's possible to be quietly weird and brilliant, in the world that moves on in ignorance of the latest JavaScript shit, kubernetes shit, database shit, ... Thanks for sharing!

I sometimes think about Andrei and Pierre, such opposites and yet best friends. The way their fortunes seem to move in counterpoint. I've often preferred Andrei to the dreamy, idealistic Pierre, but on my most recent reading I think I

How do you want your spaghetti served? Baked-in the code, or the rpc variety?

I don't know...turn on subpixel with slight hinting, disable autohinter, enable lcdfilter and the result is pretty damn good. For monospace truetype fonts I use grayscale instead of subpixel, which I think is cleaner in the terminal...

Narcissism of small differences. Pointless blogspam. Also, Neovim is much closer to visual studio than it is to something like nano or whatever.

Not discussed by the article, but I wonder...Is it more terrible to find out that nobody's out there? Nobody's listening?

Can't tell if this is fud or not. For example with node, typically you'd only be exposing port 80, right? So as long as your http server isn't vulnerable you're ok. Or same with Redis, which I hope isn't anywhere ne

Thank you for taking the time to respond so thoughtfully to my comment. If I had been talking directly to you, I hope I would have written something less entitled and expressed more gratitude for the gifts you've given the community, a

I love Redis, but I'm a bit skeptical of some of the changes that are currently in development. The respv3 protocol has some features that, while they sound neat, also could significantly complicate client library code. There's al

The line that expressed the author's opinion most clearly to me was this: > Public discourse doesn’t exist in a free market. I read the article as an indictment of capitalist forces, which pressure people into conformity as a path t

Yeah I had to learn this lesson, and I think I will continue to find my ego cropping up in strange places, and again practice letting go. My ego drove me to work extra hard to try and impress others. I would become petulant if I didn't

My experience with having my code reviewed was overwhelming positive, if frustrating at times. There was one reviewer in particular who had a way of asking just the right questions to point the way to a better approach. It also changed the

I didn't mean to contradict you. Speaking personally, I would go through these bouts of "trying to be good" and I could pull it off for a couple of days max before the mask dropped. I just couldn't ever stop judging, cri

Yeah, I have a suspicious streak (paranoid? I don't know, maybe?), too. That comes with a deep fear of being taken advantage of, a fear of being a sucker, a mark, a rube, whatever. I am mistrustful of other people's motives, and a

Well, I wasn't talking about being kind in order to feel good about myself. That would be the same old turd (selfishness) just wrapped up in a nicer package. Like when I'm sitting on the airplane that's been parked outside

I definitely get that, too. I pull up at the stoplight next to a lady in the other car, she's on facebook, looking at pictures and videos of other people. I want to shout, "hey, what the fuck? Wake up." And then I think about

In my head I refer to this perspective as "this toilet earth". And it's easy to get swept away by it. The antidote is in your own heart, and in the hearts of all people. An unselfish, hidden act of love. Taking actions that a

Easier to version your configs if they're all in one place. Easier to find a config file, less guess-work. Generally helps keep the home directory tidy of cruft. Not a huge deal, obviously, but programs should be well-behaved programs.

Regardless of any of that, it sure is interesting to be alive and human. We feel emotions, can talk to one another...it's all very, very wonderful and strange.

It's my experience, and the comments seem like a relevant place to share it. You're welcome to disagree. You have your own anecdotes (drain on family), which you, too, are sharing. For what it's worth, my wife, son, parents,
