Salvatore just added support for asynchronous operations in side threads in modules. This would allow merging results from the cluster possible, and I want to get to it soon. I'm now implementing it in the client side and it works grea

Yeah, that blog post is also me :) hehe. Anyway glad to hear you find it interesting. If you want to help out ping me. There's tons of stuff on the roadmap, and currently I'm almost entirely focused on the secondary index.

by dvirsky 10y ago
I wrote that module as well :) The secondary index module will be more focused on automating more traditional indexing of numbers and simple string values. It has an SQL-ish language for WHERE expressions, and then the result of that is pip

I'm working on a secondary index implementation in redis using modules, that should be out in a few days. It indexes redis hashes similar to how you index tables.

For me it's also amazingly good for C and Go development.

Nothing beats LiteIDE's integration with the Go toolchain IMHO. However it's not a very good editor in other aspects. Plus it's so ugly it hurts my eyes.

I wonder if it's possible to find even a rare mutation of a tusk-less male and manipulate things somehow. Or perhaps even if we do, for males tusks are really too much of a necessity for this to happen.

Isn't this trademark violation? I'm not from the US, but years ago I used to work for a local index-style search engine (before Google ate everyone's meal), and IIRC we consulted our lawyers and came to the conclusion that th

Oh, I read it as "plan you career as programmers " :) Good to hear you're finding other passions. Software is my second career BTW, I only started professionally at 29 (I've been programming since age 10). I know what b

You should definitely invest in your skill set then, and learn new technologies if you want to stay in the game - but age is not the critical factor here. Perhaps you've lost your passion? I'm about a decade older than you and I&#

What makes you think your stream will dry out? Why wouldn't you be still doing this 10-20 years from now?

I'm 41 and I still don't feel old even though I work with a few people who are 10-15 younger than me. We tend to think of old programmers as these ancient neckbeards who write COBOL and FORTRAN and grew up on usenet programming PD

It was really stupid. There were these LED 2-digit panels (something like this: http://bit.ly/2d9fa3a ) that my job was to screw into the case. Anyway, the connector cables were manually soldered to them at a nearby station,

yeah, it could work for sure if latency is not an issue. It's also possible to do a go->C->go bridge to load Go plugins dynamically.

by dvirsky 10y ago
yes, my above comment wasn't phrased that well. but do distinguish between a plugin system where you load so's or DLLs to extend an app, and an application that has dynamic linking against them, where the linker handles this. So b

by dvirsky 10y ago
Although this can be abused, the use case is not external dependencies IMO, but rather extending systems. Think of a web server etc. Each plugin is still a static binary that is self contained, but you can load capabilities into the server

It's a WIP and I haven't had the time to complete it, but here it is. You can load modules, handle redis commands and return responses, but you can't access redis itself yet. https://github.com/RedisLabs/

Not sure it should be be part of this package, but it's trivial to write a function that exposes something like "SharedLibraryFile(libname string) string". Depending on the OS it just formats the default shared object name. F

That's already possible, I've written an API that encapsulates Go libraries as Redis modules.

IIRC I found that the easiest was to train on shops, forums, and porn. But another tricky bit was conceptual - genre and category overlap sometimes (e.g. porn). Anyway I couldn't get it to yield proper results. But today we have things

There were a few attempts at that in the past, one being http://omgili.com/ that now seems to return pretty much garbage. BTW About 12 years ago I was building this search engine, and I was toying with the idea of building

That's a good idea. At the very least add a note about it in the mean time maybe. BTW as a caching-only system redis can scale exactly like memcache if your client supports it. I did this in one project and it worked great. EDIT: Also,

I liked it actually, but I didn't expect more than a light fun read. It's pop-lit, not a groundbreaking masterpiece, and I didn't find it boring at all.
