The page says the latest release was 2017-08, that seems tremendously outdated. Am I missing something? Is it updating in the background?

The LISTEN and NOTIFY don’t shouldn’t be on the same connection. In fact, many libraries require a separate dedicated connection to LISTEN on. One feature of PubSub that is also a caveat is that it is transactional. That is great for produc

Every person I know that bikes in Chicago has been hit at least once. Fortunately none of them have been seriously injured, but it is a constant danger. There are lots of bike lanes downtown but they aren’t protected or respected. We have a

I recall purchasing two of these in the late 90s for relatively little money. Both cards could work in conjunction and it radically changed how games looked—really amazing how much of a difference it made. I can distinctly recall the differ

My most popular open source library is a Redis backed cache for Ruby. It continues to accumulate stars, but I haven’t had any issues in well over a year. Sometimes software is just finished, not abandoned!

Not the original poster, but I would recommend to anybody that they move to Fastmail.

Our organization uses four primary languages (Ruby, Python, JS and Elixir). The package management situation for Python is by far the weakest. We’ve been using Pipenv, but it is atrociously slow and flawed at dependency resolution. An alter

I went to school for furniture design in Savannah. None of the teachers were missing any fingers, but plenty of guys from shops in the surrounding area were. From what I recall all of them had lost fingers from jointers and routers, not tab

Is there a long term plan for the Codeship domain, blog, and the content that you've generated? I ask this because I've written content for the Codeship blog before and have links to it from my personal blog. If the content is goi

It was what stopped the British led allied bombing which had escalated out of the Blitz. Dresden was not a military target and its destruction killed so many civilians that they stopped night time bombing raids.

I must admit, for the past couple months I've been digging for status info about Redis Streams. They would fit a use case we have perfectly, but we use cloud providers for Redis so manual compilation with modules isn't possible. R

This article from Brandur does a great job of explaining a use case for Redis Streams [0]. As part of that he begins by explaining what they are, how they work, and a bit about how they differ from Kafka. [0]: https://brandur.org

There was a Stuff You Should Know podcast about this just recently [0]. An impressive amount of engineering has gone into something that seems much more artistic than scientific. 1: https://www.stuffyoushouldknow.com/podcast

Typically I design applications to be as stateless and tolerant of restarts as possible, as they do get restarted during deploys anyhow. That is a minor issue compared to the difficulties around connection restarts and communication between

Surprising development. I wonder if this will complement Gigalixir or compete with it. The ability to connect between nodes, avoid mandatory restart, avoid connection limits and keep websocket connections alive easily gives compute engine a

There was a promo for this on the most recent changelog. The term “heroes” seems a bit hyperbolic, but I’m intrigued.

When you have children everything changes. Then your success depends on teaching them to adhere to the same countermeasures—there isn’t much chance of that until they are older. I had managed not to throw up for 20 years. That all went out

I’ve spent a large portion of the past month working with ffmpeg. We are using it to repair, concat, and mux an arbitrary number of overlapping audio and video streams recorded via WebRTC. While this sounds straight forward on the face of i

On the face of it $76m seems like a staggering amount of money. Then we learn that the foundation dedicates $3b a year, and this seems like a drop in the bucket. Amazing what massively focused resources can accomplish.

Just recently I thought to myself "it has been a long time since I saw the Github Unicorn". As it turns out, I didn't really miss it at all. Regarding the centralized nature of Github: it is the centralized communication that

Precisely. While I happen to enjoy building IKEA furniture (in small doses), I would be pleased never to pick it up from a store ever again.

The complement of being " really useful" never bothered me. My kids are a bit too old for Thomas now, but we still say people are "causing confusion and delay" when they derail the rest of the family.

This is precisely the kind of article I hope for when I browse the front page. Thank you for all the effort you put into writing this. It is clearly the product of a lot of effort and craft.
