The entire implementation of sorted sets is really interesting, with a dual implementation of ziplists and skiplists being used depending on the amount of elements in the list. I've been meaning to write bit more about Redis internals

If I were looking for a job, I would really only consider a 10+ hour "take-home" interview if I already had extensive dialog with the employer, met their team, and determined proper fit given my background. I also don't know

I recently interviewed at a medium-sized tech company in Palo Alto that only had recent graduates on my interview schedule. I really don't know if I could have expected them to ask questions other than standard CS / data structure

For the vast majority of cases that we deal with, we don't really need much for resources to run this application. One specific test uses approximately 20k goroutines and averages 15-20MB RAM depending on test load. As for CPU utilizat

Does the project have to be open source? My company currently is using Go to monitor and respond to events on hundreds of thousands of RabbitMQ message queues. We create a goroutine for handling each queue, and Go handles all of the concurr

In this particular case, the marginal cost for Amazon or Apple would be the per-sale licensing fee paid to the publisher. This is a cost set by the publishers, for sure, but it most definitely is a marginal cost in the eyes of the electroni

Sounds interesting, to say the least. Bill (llimllib above) was actually considering writing a Redis implementation in Go as a learning exercise right after we finished with the interval tree stuff. I personally would be interested in the p

I completely agree. One of my more immediate projects is to possibly find a way to refactor some of the work I outlined in the article to make adding datatypes even more straightforward, but I am very concerned on adding complexity to the R

You'll find that stepping back from a problem, even when not sick, generally can help your overall perspective. I personally like to take walks and focus on things other than the problem at hand; this almost always results in clarity for me
