NYTProf is pretty great though

The best SRE recommendation around Memcached is not to use it at all:
- it’s pretty much abandonware at this point
- there is no built-in clustering or any of the HA features that you need for reliability
Don’t use memcached, use redis instead.
(I do SRE and systems architecture)

SRE here. Memcached is great. Redis is great too.
HA has a price (Leader election, tested failover, etc). It’s an antipattern to use HA for your cache.

seems like hazelcast is the successor of memcached https://hazelcast.com/use-cases/memcached-upgrade/

this comment is ridiculous

Many large tech companies, including Facebook, use Memcached. Some even use both Memcached and Redis: Memcached as a cache, and Redis for its complex data structures and persistence.
Memcached is faster than Redis on a per-node basis, because Redis is single-threaded and Memcached isn’t. You also don’t need “built-in clustering” for Memcached; most languages have a consistent hashing library that makes running a cluster of Memcacheds relatively simple.
If you want a simple-to-operate, in-memory LRU cache, Memcached is the best there is. It has very few features, but for the features it has, they’re better than the competition.

N-1 processes is better than nothing but it doesn’t usually compete with multithreading within a single process, since there can be overhead costs. I don’t have public benchmarks for Memcached vs Redis specifically, but at a previous employer we did internally benchmark the two (since we used both, and it would be in some senses simpler to just use Redis) and Redis had higher latency and lower throughput.

Yeah agreed, and I don’t mean to hate on Redis — if you want to do operations on distributed data structures, Redis is quite good; it also has some degree of persistence, and so cache warming stops being as much of a problem. And it’s still very fast compared to most things, it’s just hard to beat Memcached at the (comparatively few) operations it supports since it’s so simple.

Syncthing + Git seems a little bit overlapping? Don’t you think? Instead I would just create
gitaccount and use it via SSH.-
You don’t even need a “git” user ala gitolite if you only need one user. You can ssh as yourself and it all works.
-
while i also have remotes i access via ssh, that method depends on you be able to reach a device via ssh. what if it’s offline?
syncthing provides local copies everywhere. there are definitely big caveats to that, but i think it’s an advantage overall.
-
-
you are not confused.
i guess if remote is down, and workstation a is not up-to-date, you could pull from workstation b if it is up-to-date.
maybe i just get use out of this because i am lazy. but i find it comforting to know that there’s this directory being synced, that is not my working directory, and it lives in many places and is hard to destroy.
-
That makes sense. I might just enable SSH on every machine and push to all of the others when I have a change, but your solution certainly works (and is probably more automated, and allows for downtime more nicely). It’s nice that there’s a variety of ways to achieve this with different trade-offs.

Brad’s had an impressive ability to do work in areas that he realized were important before everybody else got there. Before MongoDB existed or sharding was a term in everyone’s vocabulary, he helped popularize it after he had to do it to scale LiveJournal and talked about it at OSCON. Even within Go, many of the particular things he worked on often seemed disproportionately key to making Go practical (getting it in prod at Google, the stdlib and built-in HTTP server, even small-by-comparison bits like
goimports). Makes me even more curious what he’ll do next. :)-
his work increases “whipuptitude” imho

Not what you’re looking for, but my website is http://www.malsmith.net/ . Since its main function is to provide software downloads that run on old systems, the site itself is also designed to work on old systems. I’ll probably still want it to work with IE6 essentially forever. (My next site will be gopher.)

Your site background is identical to Leslie Lamport’s and it’s blowing my damn mind
