Ask HN: Is anyone using redis for anything else than caching/queuing?
I'm interested in this mostly because redis is limited to available RAM so even sorted sets can't be used for general data-storage (GBs of data)

All what I can dream of are caches/queues with predictable eviction strategies.

I'm eager (and thankful) to hear any other use-case for redis, really.

Background: I'm currently looking for something which can easily hold gigabytes of sorted data, with fast writes and set properties (no need to check for existence)... If it would support sharding it would be even more awesome :-)

They have incredibly accurate position data (GPS + radio beacons, etc) but that can't be used to control the engine map.

The engine map has a finite number of allowed inputs and a bunch of restrictions they must adhere to. For example it must be monotonic so that more throttle pedal input means more torque to the wheels.

The engine map can not do anything based on track position, but the drivers regularly change engine maps while on track, especially in qualifying.
I haven't lived in an area prone to weather-related disasters. But, I feel like, most of these are avoidable (I mean, not the disaster itself but the "riding-it-out" part). Usually, there is plenty of time and warning so you can get out.

Earthquakes though, are unpredicatable and they arrive with zero notice. And should the worst happen in an earthquake, you would not need many of the supplies in the list above.

It's a mix of two things:

The first is searching under the streetlight: both attributable digital ads and non-attributable ads are put into a media plan with (mostly fanciful) estimates and projections as to returns and value before the project starts. Then the campaigns are run, and the attributable ads are scored according to actual results, while everything else is either carried forward on the assumptions the estimates are true, assigned an arbitrary fraction of all sales/traffic, or run through some GIGO model. A lot of personal prejudice and tribal knowledge is applied here.

The other, smarter instinct is that while traditional/non-digital advertising can't be finely attributed it can be monitored and audited, and this is vastly more important. Mistakes and underperformance are bounded--fraud is not. A billboard in an inappropriate place with shitty creative at least exists and has some non-zero value not that far from the best possible billboard; but fraudulent Internet advertising can just dump all your money down a hole, never be seen by a relevant human, and do nothing but give you false metrics.

DVRs aren't that much of a threat -- most of what a TV ad says is that "my brand exists, I can afford TV ads, and your social circle has seen my ads" and that works at 10x speed anyway. Hypertargeting makes Internet ads worthless for that sort of positioning.

One thing that can help a lot is to give dogs and cats more vegetables. In particular, they love brassicas, especially brussels sprouts and broccoli. Either mixed in with their regular food or as a treat, it helps fill them up with very few calories - and really good for them too.

If you haven't tried this, I recommend it. Simply microwave some brussels sprouts or broccoli until tender, let cool, and either chop it up, add a little water, and mix into their food, or else take the sprouts and slice them in quarters as a treat.

With broccoli, they like the stems more than the heads. Sweeter and less pungent.

When I give them the sprouts as a treat, the dogs get the quartered sprouts, and the cats like to have me peel off a leaf and tear it into pieces for them. I sit down on the kitchen floor, the dogs line up, and the cats muscle in between them and sit on my legs to get their share. (That's why I sit down, so they don't climb my legs!)

I've had a couple of people tell me, "You must be kidding. Dogs and cats don't like vegetables, they want meat!" They change their mind when they see how our dogs and cats respond to the brussels sprouts.

BTW, if you are used to steaming brussels sprouts for yourself when you don't do something fancier with them, I highly recommend microwaving instead. It cooks them evenly, unlike steaming which ruins the outside by the time the inside is done. Rinse them first - the bit of water avoids burning - and undercook them a little because they continue to cook when you take them out. A microwaved brussels sprout dipped in hummus is a tasty treat. (For people, not for the pets! The garlic wouldn't be good for them.)

Update: I didn't expect this to spark quite such a discussion, but thank you everyone for the replies - I learned some things here. Rest assured that I only give the cats a small amount of the brussels sprouts - the dogs get more.
According to the classical electrodynamics - it sure does. From the quantum mechanical point of view, it also does - in the sense that we can always measure it (i.e. it is an observable). The "property" in this case is not so much a particular outcome of such measurement as much as the expectation value; actually, I'm afraid that the use of the word "property" in this context can only lead to confusion as it effectively conflates several different things: the (quantum-mechanical) state, the observable, and the particular value observed.
Also the Yaesu FT-60 (2m/70cm) or FT-270 (2m) are absolutely, positively indestructible units made for professional use year in, year out. More than $60, but not obscenely so - somewhere around the $150 mark, methinks.

It would often make sense to have two units, by the way. (Oh, and by all means get a licence - it is not difficult, and it gives you opportunity to learn how to use the device before you need it...

It is not impossible to write such code but I am sure the code you will write in 10 minutes will not be good enough

Well, you keep saying that, yet putting focus on a designated element when opening the dialog is literally one line of code, and setting tab order isn't particularly difficult either (and is probably something you'd have to do in much the same way whether you wrote the code yourself or used someone else's library to create your modal).

In any case, we seem to have drifted well off the original topic now. The comment by revscat was about a requirement to add a very simple modal without any of these hypothetical complications you keep introducing, and how the resulting PR involved 27 files. That's crazy.

It somewhat depends on what you're looking for.

For the cheapest, almost "disposable" radio it's hard to beat the Baofeng UV-5R[1] at $30. However they aren't the most reliable and they tend to be pretty spotty in terms of how clean they are(broadcasting on frequencies other than you're transmitting). They're also a total PITA to program, but for emergencies you can put them on 146.520(national calling frequency) and leave it there.

A little step up from that is Yaesu's FT-60R[2]. It's a lot more robust, easier to program and generally much more solid. It also costs a fair bit more($180).

I usually carry a Yaesu VX-8DR[3] however it's overkill for most people. I mostly have it because you can drop it into a few feet of water without issue and it does APRS so I can send "text" messages and see status of other APRS beacons near me. It's also pretty darn expensive at $370.

All of these will also receive FM radio, NOAA radio and any of the un-encrypted Fire/EMS/Police bands so that's handy as well.

With a handheld tranciever the best you can look for is 2-5mi depend on terrain between who's receiving you. If you've got a repeater nearby, those tend to be ~100W(as opposed to 5W HTs usually do) and positioned well. Usually they cover anywhere from 30-100mi(we've got one in Centralia that I can pick up from Portland to Seattle).

Regular radios start in the 25-100W range and get out 10-30mi depending on terrain but those are usually a lot more involved to setup. One nifty thing is most dual band radios these days will do cross-band receiving so you can put your HT on 70cm and have it retransmit via the larger radio on 2m. If you have it setup in your car that's a nice setup for a quick an dirty repeater.

> Of course the national defense agencies were so dumb they haven't noticed that a few guys registered hudreds of thoudands of accounts.

Would you elaborate more on the background of this? Were the SIM cards sold and registered with a private company? I would suspect it is (or they were, if more than one). Which national defense agencies are you referring to? Did the national defense agencies search these records? Do you assume the agencies have access to this information by default? If it's through a private company, should the agencies have access by default? Do you think the private companies should have contacted the agencies if they didn't have access?

There are answers to these questions, some of them factual, some of them ethical or legal, and up for debate. In only a few situations I think it would be fair to call the agencies "so dumb". What leads you to use those words?
That site seems great but it's still a tough sell when the "welcome to rational prepping" guide includes AI and CRISPR as causes.
This is true, a lot of short term "friends" you make along the way but a few days later each one goes their way and also it becomes a bit of a repetitive process and can be quite exhausting.

What are they really testing? A candidate's willingness to go through a trendy interview format, which comes across as weirdly similar to the HR version of a video dating profile - and be chipper about it? I mean, I hate video conferencing in general, I'd probably fail just because I wouldn't like the format and it would show.

This kind of thing just provokes my bias towards only allowing recruiters, HR, etc., to handle processing paperwork, like clerks, and leaving the real decisions to the departments that have to work with the people who get hired. Something like this would be laughed out of the building where I work.

You raise a good point. My answer is:

I understand the idea of doing probablistic inference about people based on their demeanor. We do it all the time with our minds, indeed many aspects of society and culture are built around non-verbal communication.

I'm okay with how things currently are, because we are innately capable of learning behavior policies for social interactions, while preserving a lot of cognitive privacy. In other terms, you can consciously control your demeanor (as the word is currently understood).

I afraid of inferences drawn from sub-conscious demeanors and involuntary information leaks.

Normal humans will not be able to tell if someone is nervous or afraid or angry just by looking at them, if that someone wants to maintain a pokerface. But it is entirely possible to read someone's pulse by recording a video of their skin, thus taking away some privacy of the mind [1].

We haemorrhage a lot of information all the time. As far as I know, current polygraph tests are trash, but I would be unsurprised if some characteristic features were to be found in a video+audio stream of someone's face that would estimate with good accuracy and precision that they were lying.

We all lie. To others and to ourselves. Within limits, lying is an integral part of healthy life. A world where I cannot casually lie is not one where I can live in; cognitive privacy is important.

> [...natural disasters...] Pretty much always in the sames typical places though...

Most people live in "typical places" without realizing it, though. I mean, you know when you're in the tornado valley, but tornado / hurricane risk is relatively high for basically the entire eastern half of the US. And wildfire risk is very significant for the entire western half. Add to this earthquakes, etc, and it turns out that most people live in a place that is likely to experience a major regional disaster every couple decades or so.

Still, the guide is not really about that; or rather, it covers natural disasters to some extent, but it puts a lot more emphasis on personal preparedness - being able to cope with another run-of-the-mill recession, a house fire, and other likely occurrences of this sort. More general preparedness is almost a side effect of that.

> [...economic crises and armed conflicts...] Ditto. See: countries with a perpetual history of dictators and authoritarianism (although westerners and capitalism/socialism typically receive the blame in popular depictions)

Yes, we are traveling full time while freelancing and building http://MoonlightWork.com. We just finished spending the summer in Mexico City, and are continuing onto Denver, LA, and Buenos Aires over the next few months the.

Our tentative plan to avoid travel fatigue is to stay places for three months at a time. While both working and traveling, it's important to stay longer so that you have enough time to explore.

We are also stopping back in the States fairly often, which is helpful for maintaining professional contacts, meeting with clients, and avoiding burnout.

Some tips in no particular order:

- if you rent an Airbnb for multiple months, you get billed monthly (like rent). Monthly discounts vary a lot for listings, so pay attention to them.

- we like having coworking separate from our apartment in order to have some work/life separation and a daily routine

- if you want a second monitor while traveling, an iPad with Duet Display works great

- A vpn like Cloak is helpful while abroad. Turns out that many sites, eg CA DMV, are limited to IPs in the States!

- We use Google Fi for cellphone plans. It has great global coverage

Unbelievable this is downvoted. Do people not approve of the patent system? It has been in place for decades as a battle-tested way of incentivizing innovation and creates a natural process for getting trade secrets into the public domain.
