Great. Good luck. As someone who's worked on the redis codebase, I suggest you take a good look at some of the design decisions and optimizations that project took, e.g. wrt persistence and replication.

Yeah, I've seen people do that but I've glanced the code, it's certainly not the case here.

Maybe. One other funny anecdote about this project was that I attended this big tech unconference around that time, and I wrote a version of this app that allowed people to post updates from sessions, notify about upcoming sessions, follow

Sometimes it's not just about shipping but also about knowing how to approach it and having the vision. Case in point - many many years ago, around 2004 or 2005, I built this stupid app with a couple of friends - it was a text message

Written in Go? I wonder what the GC pressure is going to look like with many small keys. I've written a redis clone in Go a few years ago and the GC pauses when reaching a few GBs of utilization were awful. Granted the Go GC has improv

A few single people I work with in the Bay Area moved back in with their parents and terminated or did not renew their lease, some even left the US temporarily to return when things are back to normal.

I just sold my Oculus Quest after a couple of months. For me the down sides were: 1. Weight and overall comfort. Pressure on the forehead, sweating if you're playing physical games and the room is warm can make the lens foggy; even the

Thanks so much for everything, Salvatore. Working with Redis, working on Redis and working with you have all been a blast.

The one drawback of the BDFL model is that you need a person, and a very specific kind of person at that, which tends to be irreplaceable - to sustain it. Redis has succeeded because of antirez. I really wish it can continue doing so for th

It looks like policy makers are sort of starting to work under the assumption that a vaccine is around the corner (the plan AFAIK is if all goes well to start around October in the US). Assuming that's correct, I guess the goal is&#x2F

I know they won't but now there are 3 ways to express the same idea!

I wonder if at least they will add this as an additional way to define them and deprecate the old ones without disabling them.

Even the current syntax is a bit non coherent. Would you go with "Vector[int]" a la map, or with "Vector int" a la chan? I think both considered the proposed syntax is actually better.

I worked for a company developing a custom P2P video streaming protocol. It was amazingly hard to get working properly and testing all the quirks in different routers from different manufacturers. The combination of all the NAT strategies (

Having fixed my bike so many times over the years, I can easily sketch a correct bike - if not in terms of proportions (at least without any corrections), but in how the frame is constructed and how all the moving parts come together. I gue

I mostly read it as a reference to Pulp Fiction (which I think was the intent) and that doesn't make it much better.

To be honest Gimp is a terrible and embarrassing name, that IMO should have been changed years ago by the original creators. This is a world class incredible piece of software with over two decades of legacy, not some toy project.

A Bloom Filter? Is that a pun or is it a known industry term for such an image filter?

That was my first sampler as well! I have no idea how I got rid of it.

The other day I found a guitar digital delay pedal ( https://reverb.com/p/ibanez-soundtank-dl5-digital-delay ) that I've had since I bought my first guitar in 1992, and is still working fine.

I guess that's the issue with terminal - the learning curve. I did start with TUIs as a kid before Windows came along, and I remember that feeling when I started using GUIs - "oh, everything has a menu, no need to remember anythin

I think an average consumer HDD around that time was probably 100-200MB, no? I don't remember what the cheap desktop I bought in '94 had, but it was definitely not over a gig. I remember I bought a 6GB HDD that was already pretty

I've had this idea for a long time but haven't gotten to actually doing it, to create a physical dashboard for production services using that aesthetic. Controlled by some Raspberry Pi or something, exposing an API, so I can hook
