How much RAM do you allocate to Redis?


My current indie web app is still in development so final numbers for prod are TBD. However I'm using it for

* Storing time counters on user actions (timestamp of last time a user posted/edited X, meant to be a throttling mechanism against abuse)

* Site content caching, around 20-50kb per page, each page being user generated content

Sizes will obviously vary on traction so not sure about the final numbers.

My last 9-to-5 employer was a very well known and my largest caching tier in Redis there was 512GB in a cluster configuration. I'm using the same server configuration and sharding logic for the indie thing, just on a smaller scale


Check out Ada.


Weird. :)

Escape patent enforcement from the east coast?


I remember he was working at Taco Bell.


Which is also weird, because they seem like a smaller voting block, increasingly so?


Isn't another benefit that this will foster greater entreupenurship and thus create 'job creators'?

Right now, if you are employed and have insurance, you are really just subsidizing these jobs - middle-class welfare.


We would need free healthcare to be able to forfeit it.

Since we don't and insurance companies seem pretty decent at modeling risk, this would be included in the model.

Look at how people who smoke are financially penalized by health insurance.

The same is not true for alcohol consumers.


In the US that's a matter of law, the insurance companies aren't allowed to adjust prices based on alcohol consumption.

I guess casual drinkers (and more than casual drinkers) are a pretty big lobby group though.


Yet, a Hillbilly Flute can be purchased legally online and delivered to your home.

Well duh obviously everyone that orders a still is going to use it in their living room as an art installation.


The presumption is that they have the permit.

Unlike firearms, the seller does not have to verify it.


You don't need a permit to buy a firearm unless it is something that is NFA and then you just need to go through the appropriate tax stamp process which is effectively a permit for that specific firearm/destructive device/accessory.
