joeskyyy··on Stamp design errors
Ah! I just saw what was being pointed out. The focus of the picture made it seem like it was the top sail of the middle mast, not the flag at the stern. :D

Pretty sure the Belgian Congo one from 1949 is just eyes playing tricks on you. I see it blowing the proper direction looking at it immediately. If I stare hard enough, I can see the perception of it being backwards, however.

Fun read though!

joeskyyy··on Frequent Password Changes Is a Bad Security Idea
I usually just make up a crazy long sentence I'll remember, with no logical order in it. Something funny to me so I'll easily remember it. Throw in some assortment of numbers and symbols. Bam! Works like a charm!
joeskyyy··on Housing in the Bay Area
All depends on where you live. If you're trying to raise a family, you definitely have to live in the burbs and commute in.

I pay $1850 a month for a 496 sq ft "Open" one bedroom. It's basically a studio with a wall that segments off my bedroom.

Which is more than fine for me :D Get to live downtown, get to walk to work, walk to bars, etc. But if you wanted an average 3br/2ba apartment, you're probably looking in the $3500+/mo. And buying is so competitive right now it's insane.

Microsoft and Amazon only you say? Don't know where you'd get that data from.

Google has a big campus here in Fremont and Kirkland, and they're building a huge new complex in South Lake Union (Amazon's stomping grounds).

Facebook just opened their brand new office in SLU.

Samsung is here. Adobe is here. Atlassian is here. Uber is here. DocuSign is here.

Expand the metro area to Bellevue (since we included Microsoft above) add companies like Redfin, Zillow, Expedia, FICO, Disney.

Edit: Oh yeah, forgot Intel and EMC as well.

I'm sure there's many I missed but there's WAY more than just Microsoft and Amazon.

... Just don't tell anyone. Go to Portland instead. I hear they want you ;)

joeskyyy··on Pharmacy Startup PillPack to Be Terminated by Express Scripts
Pillpack user here, and (unfortunately) an express scripts user.

I take 18 pills a day to manage some kidney issues I have, and Express Scripts doesn't have a good track record with getting your meds to you on time. If I don't have some of my medications, I could die. Not to mention, it's going to be a big pain in the ass to count out all those pills, AND take up a ridiculous amount of space with all the pill bottles, and pill trays.

Incredibly pissed off about all this...

Edit: forgot to mention my amazing feelings towards Pillpack. TJ (the CEO) has contacted me directly multiple times to make sure everything has been great, and every interaction I've had with them is phenomenal. If your insurance supports it, I highly recommend it.

joeskyyy··on Uber with Amazon Dash Button
By the title, at first I thought this was ridiculous. Then the more I thought and read about it, it became progressively more genius.
joeskyyy··on Gitualize – Like YouTube for GitHub
Still down, no cached version either. Womp womp. :\
joeskyyy··on Transactions in Redis
I'd agree to this whole heartedly. At first glance (if I'm understanding your implementation correctly), it appears like you're already going to use up the same amount of space a buffer would anyway. In this case you're just tasking the LUA best practice, but making it a feature within Redis itself.

Regardless I think you're really onto something that people want. There's going to be a trade off one way or another, but the Redis community is all about speed, so the faster and more efficient you can do it, the better (:

joeskyyy··on Transactions in Redis
Interesting concept! Just curious if you have any reports on how this affects the overall execution of a script, as well as the memory consumption and CPU usage? (Not in a place the moment to test it myself :P)
joeskyyy··on Show HN: YouTube Filesystem – YTFS
Glad I'm not the only one! Cause that would be friggin awesome haha
joeskyyy··on Google launches Uber rival RideWith
I lot of my friends in the bay area use Uber actually to get to and/or from work. I find it rather insane with all the other transit options and you know, walking? But to each their own.
joeskyyy··on Introducing Disque [video]
I've never had issues understanding you before man! Always amazing to hear your thoughts out loud because it shows how much you truly care about the projects you put so much time in :D
joeskyyy··on Redis Geo
The latest stable branch is an amazing show of readability. It's very simple to follow, and very easy to hack at if you want to try and manipulate structures to how you're wanting them.

10/10 would read through again.

joeskyyy··on Ask HN: Redis... but not in-memory?
I mean, nothing is really going to be as performant as Redis if you put it on disk.

The closest thing I can think of off the top of my head is MongoDB. Mongo will combine with on disk and in-memory storage. But you can do pretty much all the same things within mongo, just slower. It might not be that huge of a difference in performance depending on exactly what your doing of course. But if you're doing something in Redis that is, say, doing 100k+ ops/sec, you're highly unlikely to get that in mongo.

joeskyyy··on Google makes it easier for strangers to e-mail you
Pretty easy to disable luckily
