piggybacked off Dynamodb in AWS for now unfortunately; so its more "the entire system is active-active, not just the redis bit". Reads always go to Redis in every region (no read-through), writes go to dynamodb (in global table co

I'm one of those people with moderate throughput production applications using Redis as a primary store (500-2000 requests per second); in a multi-region active-active setup without redis enterprise no less. Its a very real use case at

I've been doing this for the past year or so. couldn't run pihole network wide because too many shady "deal /discount" sites my girlfriend uses kept breaking, so this was my alternative.

ditto. we've got maybe 4,000 logs/second going to scalyr. it's fast, has good features, and is easily searchable (with structured logs).

PCBs used to only be $20 or $30 with the tiny surface mount stuff soldered on already. totally worth it if you an get them.

I'm on year 5 or 6 with a self built ErgoDox. it's really tough to imagine going back to anything else full time. I ended up building another to keep at home. Not sure how much it's changed, but I was able to build both of mi

On a positive note: this was a good write up. On a negative note: FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY, HOW DID THIS HAPPEN.

I almost got in to this space a few years ago, but didn't for some reason. there are a lot of fun things to work on in that problem space.

there's a cliff though. I pay for prime and Netflix, and once or twice a month I'll rent a movie from Google Play if it's something I really want to see. however, in my mind paying any more than that approximate monthly total

starter playing recently, and it's been a lot of fun. it's what I was missing in Elite. that said, of you love Elite for it's fantastic flight mechanics, you probably won't love No Man's Sky, at least not for the sa

as soon as VR headset resolution gets a little better (and we have GPUs that can drive that higher res well), I might start spending a DANGEROUS amount of time in Elite. It's already incredible with the HTC Vive, and you definitely get

I'm actually headed there late this summer. Going to try and do a big loop from the White Mountains to see some old Bristlecone Pines (no I do not know where Methuselah is), up to Redwood National Park to see Hyperion for the finale.

I can think of a few reasons. Primarily, this is easily embed-able. Not everything is a web-app/service.

man, I really miss sublime. I switched to vim for the year i was doing ruby (cause ruby "IDE"s are so horrible its just not worth it), and now im in vscode mostly because the out of the box setup for golang is so great.

I took a 2 year break, and moved in to a tangentially related job. It helped a lot, but I still don't have the drive I did at one point to work 8 hours and then come home and work on person projects all night. I was a full stack and th

So, this comes at weird time for me. I haven't had an HTPC/Plex setup powered up for over 3 years because one or two streaming subscriptions got the job done. But, the streaming services are all, mostly, focusing on their own cont
