It's very strange that certain things written in the book now are becoming real fears, or even happened. Initially the readers were mostly programmers but now a lot of sci-fi enthusiasts are reading it. WOHPE turned out to be one of the most read sci-fi books in Italy, among the ones written by Italian sci-fi authors in recent years.
The first design sketch of the Twitter Redis-based timeline cache was made by Rob Pointer (the author of the eggrdrop IRC bot!) and myself at Twitter HQ, on some random whiteboard.ħ. So I continued hacking on Redis even when it surpassed by a lot our LLOOGG needs.Ħ. At least for many of us the drive was just that. It was just that day-to-day jobs mostly sucked, and you wanted something better, more interesting to hack on. It is true that for many months I continued hacking on Redis even if I didn't receive so great feedbacks, but back then one rarely hacked on OSS software hoping for success or money as a main outcome. That's why the Redis port is MERZ on the phone keyboard.ĥ. This is wrong: we liked the showgirl (I and my friend Oscar), and we liked the fact she replied lightly in the TV shows, she just tried to have fun, and for us this resonated with having fun while programming stuff without a purpose: in short HackValue. It was often said that the MERZ port was for Alessia Merz stupidity. When I posted my first message in BUGTRAQ, it was davidw ( ) that helped me.Ĥ. In Milan I was not fired, I quit myself to return in Sicily.ģ. Then, a few years later, I received my first MS-DOS machine: make sure to Google it if you are not from Italy, it was an Olivetti PC1 Prodest, the most strange MS-DOS compatible system EVER.Ģ. After the TI99/4A, that is indeed the first machine I used, I started to write serious code in a ZX Spectrum. There are a couple of errors and a few things to add maybe. Thank you to the author of this post, and to the nice comments here :)
