   I first met antirez during the Engine Yard Hamming Distance contest. Does anyone else remember that? DJB, and his team, won it. It was a lot of fun to participate. http://oldblog.antirez.com/post/some-math-about-the-engineya... I wish companies would have contests such as this more often. I think it would be a great way to find and hire really good people.

   Different people have different work styles - some prefer the focus. Fun fact: Antirez worked on Redis solely on a MacBook Air 11" http://oldblog.antirez.com/post/apple-mba11-my-sole-computer...

   Check out antirez' great article about persistence[0] if you're interested in learning how to use redis in a more sophisticated manner than periodic checkpoints to disk. 0: http://oldblog.antirez.com/post/redis-persistence-demystifie...

   I've been using (and developing a fork of) NeDB [0] that does exactly what you describe: an in-memory database with append-only logs of changes for file-system persistence. On startup, and optionally at regular intervals, it "compacts" the database by reducing all events to a single JSON string. The README links to an article by @antirez, Redis Persistence Demystified [1]. It's been educational studying how it works…

   Although it sparked some debate when Microsoft ported Redis to Win32 with libuv ( http://oldblog.antirez.com/post/redis-win32-msft-patch.html ) I am impressed by their commitment that the fork is still going 4 years later.

    This is why many reasonable people simply do not like to talk about sexual assault, on here or in real life. It seems to cause people to default to a position where you must adopt one view (i.e. theirs) to the exclusion of all others. If you talk about the effects societal norms have on victims, or on strategies to navigate a misogynistic world, people will accuse you of "victim blaming". On the other hand there are…

    I'm glad this comment sits at the top of this thread. I do hope that more and more learning resources come to us in this form, which is a very good thing to give you an idea of wether you would like to jump into a language (or maybe even a framework/platform?). OP did a very good job. That said, Lua is quite the special case, as it does not require much time to get up and running with it. This is one of the reasons…

    Think of Redis as a nicer interface to data structures that otherwise would have been written in custom C code. If you read the redis manifesto, it describes itself in point 1 as a DSL for abstract data types: http://oldblog.antirez.com/post/redis-manifesto.html

    My observations after reading https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/14718 : - Shyouhei Urabe did a marvelous job of resisting pressure from several well-known developers representing multiple high profile ruby companies/projects. - Everyone eventually came to their senses in https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/14718#note-89 , and concluded that the best way forward is to use glibc with MALLOC_ARENA_MAX=2.

    Very clear and thoughtful post from antirez, as ever. It's worth reading his post on how persistence works in Redis (and other dbs). It's very interesting and gives great insights as to what goes on down in dbs to try to keep our data safe - particularly for those of us how don't ever interact with that layer directly. http://oldblog.antirez.com/post/redis-persistence-demystifie...

    WEBrick was ruby’s standard library httpd back in the day... I remember it being mostly unusable in production for different reasons. But every now and then a new httpd would appear: mongrel, unicorn, passenger, puma, etc… Sometimes the new implementation was not only “faster” under certain benchmarks, but deemed superior for “philosophical” reasons… I think it was the case for unicorn that load balanced over a pool…

    I use Redis as the primary and only database. This results in quite large savings in terms of server infrastructure since memory has never been cheaper than it is today and the minimal amount of resources Redis consume in relation to the massive amount of throughput it provides. Additionally, it has data persistence reliability on par with Postgres and other battle-tested databases[0], so couldn't be happier about t…

    Yes, in Tcl everything is basically a string, but has Lisp-like recursive structures: An expression like ` {foo {bar baz}}` evaluates to the string "foo {bar baz}" at first, but then that might be split into two strings "foo" and "bar baz" by the interpreter. I recall Tcl being described as a Lisp without the parenthesis many years ago, which I still think is somewhat apt. Antirez' article "Tcl the Misunderstood" [0…
