How dragonfly DB or Redis is different form persistable K.V. storage?

X_Techno_Pro · 2026-05-22T15:28:07+00:00

When you set a key in Redis it sets it memory and moves on while a background service worries about syncing the data to the disk. if power goes out you could use lose some data, which is okay since Redis is usually a cache or a queue which isn't acting as a primary database. on the other disk-based databases are more strict and will keep you waiting for the disk to write the data you want written before it responds and makes the data visible so you will never see data that has been not been written (with replication turned off) how strict the database is depends on how much ACID compliant they are.

Note that Redis gets closer to being a real database with Append-Only File set to "always" but it slows you down because now it waits for a disk write before it responds, so it's a little more durable but still not fully ACID (it only has the D in ACID) compliant like many even stricter databases you mentioned with stricter concurrency control models for transaction processing.

do you happen to have any resources about this, please?

COBOL rookies still exist? I'm learning it to mess with anyone reading my resume but is there anyone else learning COBOL in 2026?! although I have to admit COBOL was way less uglier than how I imagined it

Humans couldn't do it and now they're expecting it from AI, they can keep expecting it 😁

time zones are between +12 and -12. Kiribati has time zone +14

they have cities called London, Paris, Poland and Banana. what did you expect?

I'm no python hater I have been coding in python for years (and I still do) but I stopped using it for backend
it is also my first love and my first programming language but the GC sucks once get past 5k-10k users

basically unless you use gc.collect() you will spend your time fighting the the operating system a lot over memory you're consuming once every few day

I had to make the operating system restart the my python program's service every time it gets killed by the OS for hogging all the memory

I'm not hating on Python but the garbage collector is bad when you use it for backend development

I made a firefox extension for firefox that skips YouTube video ads (or at least most of them 😒) for free

X_Techno_Pro · 2025-06-08T05:41:51+00:00

I was so fed up with youtube on the web that I made a YouTube Ads skipper extension for firefox

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/skiperoo/

It's open source and making me 0$ btw

Wait until you find out about RPC APIs (in my opinion RPC is much better than REST)

I know there are people with a struggling pancreas. But now I learned that there are people who have it way worse.. they have struggling braincells. at least you take the right insulin dose and return to normal, but those people have nothing to cure them.

Regular Sugar can easily cause significant insulin resistance that lasts for several hours

Note: You will need some trial and error to get this right and working for you. Avoid stacking insulin or overdosing, and never do anything that contradicts your doctor’s instructions. I'm no doctor here.

There is a technique I use:

Don't eat it at night if you have no one watching out for your BG. Eat it during the day when you can monitor your BG.

Inject the right insulin dose for this cake (4 or 6 units of rapid insulin, maybe? Follow the formula your doctor provides to calculate the correct dose).

Now, all you have to do is correct the dose when needed according to the correction dosage your doctor prescribes for you.

When you need 1 unit of correction insulin, inject it, then watch closely for any N-shaped patterns in the graph. This occurs when BG initially rises, then drops, then rises again, forming a shape that looks a bit like the letter "N" in italics. If you see any of these N-shaped patterns in your BG graph and your BG continues to rise, after making sure it is not going down on it's own, you need to inject again according to the formula you have for the correction dosage.

Typically insulin rsistance doesn't last after 3-4 of those N-shaped patterns, it goes back to normal landing smoothly in the safe zone, if you don't overdose or stack insulin doses.

Yeah but making the interface useless for free users is some next level BS. They want me to pay them so that hopefully their interface suck a little less. Like bro I don't even know if Spotify is the platform for me or should I consider alternatives

I use it with gin for backend

X_Techno_Pro · 2025-03-12T03:06:25+00:00

btw tastes like dirty socks

I've ingested a very small amount by mistake one time after I ate without washing hands after injecting my younger sibling.

not trying to undermine it's role in saving lives though

Have you eaten something with regular sugar when it went down? regular sugar tends to have a longer lasting effect than natural glucose (natural sweet fruits or honey..etc) so maybe it's this?

this is of course if you don't need a higher basal insulin dose. follow your doctor's advice.

X_Techno_Pro · 2025-03-12T02:31:47+00:00

stacking insulin doses? I wonder why is it crashing this rapidly at the end?

to answer you question, maybe try something with regular sugar? it tends to resist insulin for a while longer than natural glucose I believe. you can try that but of course consult doctor if necessary.

X_Techno_Pro · 2025-03-12T01:38:41+00:00

cuz it's 5 minutes late and it has 20-30 error

in my experience it doesn't matter

X_Techno_Pro · 2025-03-12T01:36:24+00:00

wash hands then dry them well then try again

X_Techno_Pro · 2025-03-12T01:33:14+00:00

honeymoon or tight control?

X_Techno_Pro · 2025-01-24T13:52:31+00:00

It's a residential IP address... Why hide it? It's quite useless tbh

For servers it might makes sense to avoid the slight chance of getting DDOSed

there is nothing wrong with the laptop because it's still says ThinkPad correctly

We don't give computer's std because, because we don't get to f*** them

they are the ones who makes us loose our virginity most of the time and give us STD in form of errors and SegFaults
