I'm using subtrees to vendor C dependencies and it works well. Submodules are problematic as they may disappear or the git repo might be down. If your dependency is read only, subtree is a better option IMO.

This sounds like something out of a dystopian novel. I guess we're living in a world that's a mix between Idiocracy and Brave New World now.

xchat-gnome seems to be in low-maintenance mode, 2 commits in Q2 2016 ( https://git.gnome.org/browse/xchat-gnome/ ). I tried hexchat, and I don't remember why, I didn't like it so much. I'll give it a

The only problem about it for me, is that having search and offline messages is not possible by default. I'm using IRC for the #redis community channel, and joining a discussion after my laptop has been in my bag for a couple of hours

that's why it's here, not why it's the top item, but WTH, I guess enough people just discovered it, so enjoy, it's a really nice client. I personally switched to gnome-xchat recently, which is not as feature rich, but is

is there a special reason why this is the top HN item? I've used Quassel for years and it's a fine client, but why now?

1. Go and its toolchain and standard library. Just an awesome piece (or collection of pieces) of thoughtful and stable engineering. 2. Redis. Nuff said. 3. Gnome. Yes yes, don't laugh. Gnome 3's latest versions are very stable and

That was my impression too. Sad given that Jaffa is part of Tel Aviv.

Sadly, not so much in tech. In medicine, yes, very much so. But in 15 or so years of tech career in Tel Aviv I only got to work with or interview (or even receive job applications from) a handful of Arab engineers.

For IDEs there's a clear path here - for a company, even a small startup, <$100 per developer is really no biggie, even if no private person would pay that. I used to pay for PyCharm (via my employer) when I worked mainly in Python

it's a bit unclear but in the context of the whole document, it seems like they mean web pages and searches on their website, which is both legit and trivial. What worries me a bit is the fact that it's unclear.

Jetbrains seem to be making quite a lot of money from the IDEA series. Shill, really? I have nothing against Sublime charging money, the only reason I'm not buying it is that it's not a good enough editor (for me!). What I'm

It has an excellent one developed by MS people, and a few indie ones, which I used up until a couple of weeks ago, when the MS plugin started working properly on Linux. You'll need to install the dotnet cli stuff, but they provide offi

Maybe I'm biased but it seems like Sublime lost its huge margin in the "editor race". Occasionally I try to use Sublime, but the plugins are always lacking. For my needs, VSCode is already better with better plugins (C, Go, P

I tried to do that on my Sinclair Spectrum, but never really got anything serious running.

When I started coding 30 years ago, I didn't have internet, and being a kid living in a remote rural area where even the nearest bookstore is a long drive away - virtually unreachable for a 12 year old - I hardly had any resources avai

Most of redis' API is quite coherent. Some of the incoherence is due to the fact that some commands get less attention, such as LPUSHX (which I've never really noticed and I've been using redis for 6 years). Some is because o

IIRC that's not a whole lot more than i2.8xl, which has 1/8 of the RAM. But anyway, most likely this will probably be used for on demand "Small Data" type jobs that will benefit from running on a single machine.

I remember there was an app like that a couple of years ago, that didn't really take off. Don't remember the name or story.

I'll expand on it on the repo, but the idea is this: In redis modules, you can take a redis string key, allocate as much space as needed, and get Direct Memory Access to that key's data, with zero copy overhead. You can then resiz

Author of that module here. I'm recovering from jet lag after flying back from redisconf, and hope to open it in a couple of days. Mostly cleanup and some documentation left.

You are misreading my title. As someone who actually helped with building it, the point was not to boast about it, but show how little you need to get a module stub up and running. Usually I hate those titles too because they show some &quo

by dvirsky 10y ago
Totally agree. It's really easy to break redis if you're not careful. When I wrote my module I made sure to do lots of random input testing, stress testing, and running things in valgrind to make sure everything is kosher.

There's also the RedisModulesSDK repo that has a few helpers, plus a skeleton module with a makefile: https://github.com/RedisLabs/RedisModulesSDK
