I'm honestly chuckling at the thought of Linus responding to this one in Rasmus' place. If you need the features of an old version, use the old version. Simple as that. Don't expect the rest of the world to be stuck with dealing with backwa

For making changes on the mud itself, there was no other way to write code unless you were an admin and had direct machine access. There are some vi-like mud editors out there, but they were always wonky when I tried them, and caused more p

Yes, but even serializing data at the key level in redis to do it yourself is painful. With 2.6.0, redis provides dump[1] and restore[2] methods which will go a long way to alleviate this, but that version is still in pre-release status at

I'd love to know how it handles adding new shards. Migrating redis data from one shard to another has been a major pain point for us in the past, and has caused us to move away from redis for any big data needs we have where growth can't ac

I was a MUD coder in a past life (and sort of am still); learning ed is essential for that environment. I'm glad I learned to use it, and gladder still I don't have to use it every day. It's great for quick fixes and one-offs, but having to

I investigated using Riak for dealing with our metrics a few months ago, but with the data sizes we are dealing with, even the Riak people told us that Hadoop was likely a better solution. Once you are dealing with more than 500k keys or so

There's some editorializing in the title here. The ban only covers two buildings, and any phone that allows them to add the monitoring they require (not just Android phones) would be acceptable.

Others' opinions are a litmus test that saves me a lot of time in the long run. I simply don't have the bandwidth to go deep on everything that hits my radar.

I used osx gcc installer for a bit, but had to go back to xcode when I needed things like opengl headers, which are not otherwise available. Frustrating, for sure.

Having dealt with the Selenium and its frustrations in the past, I tend to outsource this sort of testing if at all possible. Some things can only be truly tested with eyeballs. One tip I do have is to disable jQ animations during your test

My heuristic is developer estimate x 2 + 2 weeks for anything of substance, just based on my own experience and managing others.

Absolutely. A record of solid past work can help overshadow a poor interview (nervousness, etc.) in my eyes. If I can see the sorts of things a candidate has worked on in the past, I can more tailor the interview and ask more engaging quest
