| By @maurobattellini [ 8 Min read ] Articles and posts headlined something like “The press release is dead” are strangely popular. Put that exact phrase into Google and it returns getting on for half a million hits. It’s clickbait, of course. What the writers then go on to explain is that press releases are actually pretty important, if you have real news. The problem, they all agree, is that the format is being abused. One of the most trenchant of those articles comes from Mike Butcher, Editor at Large of TechCrunch and one of the most experienced and influential tech journalists on the planet. But get past the headline and what Mike actually says is “The press release format has been abused to death. So use this format instead.”.. |
| By @juancguerrero [ 3 Min read ] As a society, we've always been drawn to a good story.

| By @kelvinm [ 18 Min read ] Over the last year, I’ve been building EchoVault, an embeddable Redis alternative for the Golang ecosystem. EchoVault aims to replicate most of the Redis features while providing both an embedded interface and a client-server interface that is compatible with existing Redis clients using the RESP protocol. One of the features implemented in EchoVault is the Pub/Sub feature. This article is a short walkthrough of how the Pub/Sub module has been implemented at the time of writing. Pub/Sub stands for publish/subscribe. This pattern allows consumers to subscribe to certain channels. Producers publish messages to channels, and all the consumers subscribed to that channel receive the message. In our context, we must enable a Go process to subscribe to specified channels when EchoVault is embedded. When running in client-server mode, we must allow a client TCP connection to subscribe to channels... |
