It surprised me how inspiring this project has been for kids in Israel. They REALLY cared. My children (11 and 7) followed every piece of news for months, and now stayed up to watch it, and are really heartbroken. My wife says on a parents

I made the decision to do that project in C, in part to be better at it (I did a bunch of small things with it, but nothing serious). Since I had to interact with Redis' C API, the choices were basically C or C++. I hated C++ much more

I used to hate C and thought it was primitive, ugly, dangerous, tedious to write in and annoying to read. While writing a big project in it ( https://github.com/RedisLabsModules/RediSearch/ ) , I've discovered

I can truly say that Redis has changed my life and career. I started using it in 2010, got hooked immediately, and I've been a member of the community and contributor ever since. I got to build so many cool things with Redis over the y

A Philosophy Of Software Design by John Ousterhout. Pretty short, but interesting and does a nice job at dissecting the mistakes we make that lead to software complexity. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3999675

What I find a bit weird is that they don't split the brands of the main Buzzfeed stuff and the more serious journalism.

Yeah, once you start considering log rewrites I remember it got a bit more challenging. But the main idea is super elegant and beautiful.

I'm surprised no one mentioned PageRank (or maybe I missed it). Another favorite is RAFT, simply because of how elegant and simple it is and how easy it is to understand. Also - I used to work in a company that did P2P video streaming

No, he's Israeli, and Elastic started when he lived here. I don't think they have offices in Israel which is atypical.

I've implemented this a while ago as part of RediSearch and integrated into a Trie. This is a super powerful algorithm. https://github.com/RedisLabsModules/RediSearch/tree/master/s...
