(Frankly, I was kind of surprised this had not been posted before.

... Thanks for pointing those out).-

Still worth the re-read for me, and I thank you for it

Thank you for this, i was looking for something similar in Linux

Isn't it said in the article that Redis can be replaced by anything else

> _redis can be replaced or complemented by another NoSQL database (such as MongoDB) or a relational database (such as Postgres). Throughout this section, where you see redis, feel free to replace it with the database you might want to use._

Wow! I like this kind positive post! If you have the story behind your product and how you build it, we'll definitely wanna read it!

Thank you!

On: Book Summary: Atomic Habits by James Clear

[chipz]

Lesson #2: How Habits Work : Cue, craving, response, reward Is pretty similar with Charles Duhigg's The Power of Habbit, does this book have connection?

[Graziano_M → chipz]

That book is referenced directly. Instead of a whole book about it this book spends barely a chapter.

+100

[durmonski → chipz]

I can't say connection. James is taking Duhigg's idea and he's extending it. Both books are good.

On: Ask HN: How do you deal with professional envy?

[chipz]

Solid point, Not OP, but I also want to point out that OP seems to enjoy his working term (no commute and all), but enjoying the work doesn't have to make an impact on you.

It's just a fucking job, yes, we make other people rich, yes, but it's also the kind of job that I wanna do. I also don't commute, and also have more time to meet with my daughter compared to most dads, and I really glad about this term.

On: Ask HN: Alternatives to Yubikey?

[chipz]

Slightly out of topic, is it possible to create one with similar function to yubikey with USB flash drive?

On: Scala vs Go

[chipz]

One thing that I like about Scala is that we can use Java Mission Control to analyze how our code (to the 'method' level,) perform in production. Not just deploy and pray that our code will hold strong enough to handle the load. I only see this feature in Scala and Java --not that we wanna compare in this case,

[MrBuddyCasino → chipz]

Ops support and transparency is superb on the JVM. That some languages don't even have something remotely comparable is something that didn't even occur to me before expanding my horizon beyond Java.

[pjmlp → MrBuddyCasino]

.NET is the only serious rival regarding such tooling.

[was_boring → MrBuddyCasino]

Yep, the tooling around Java is absolutely fantastic.

[pyrale → chipz]

Is it available only on Java/Scala, or any language on the JVM ? If Java/Scala, do you have an idea of how much work would be needed to exploit the informations from flight recorder in e.g. Clojure ?

[chipz → pyrale]

it should be available in any language on JVM although I've never tried it myself. It's simple enough, I don't think it would take too much work to get the information from flight recorder.
