By what metric is redis faster than beanstalkd? Does redis has any job queue facilities for making a reliable, low-latency, safe job queue? http://www.rockstarprogrammer.org/post/2008/oct/04/what-matt...

Cleaning up history to be readable, clean and represent the actual net change to the project instead of every dumb error I made is gold. A properly managed history is a huge difference when it comes to dealing with code submissions. I te

This depends a lot on your software design. You have to shed a lot of assumptions before you can even begin to consider redundancy. If your software can only run on one computer, then nothing much matters. It would be a worthwhile exper

That's a pretty design, but a rather typical function pointer demonstration. It's at least more unusual if you change main to this: int main(void) { char *sayings[] = { "I know a secret!", "WHAT", "WHAT again", NU

That's like...worse. I went to the "learn" screen to see some examples. It was just a text box with a scroll bar, except I couldn't use my mouse scroller to scroll it. And when I grabbed the scroll bar, there was huge latency before the t

The problem with many of these benchmarks is that they aren't exercising what they think they're exercising. Notice how tokyo tyrant and memcached track each other on the performance graphs while redis is doing much better? That's because

I'm calling total bullshit on those performance graphs. Neither Tokyo Tyrant nor MySQL is anywhere nearly as fast as memcached unless you have a really bad memcached client (and they do exist). I got somewhere over 90k stores per second

darcs is a fine revision control system. I used to use it quite a bit. The biggest problem I ever had with darcs, in practice, was not having ghc available when I'd do an OS upgrade and thus having no ability to access my repositories. I
