Heroku does have a free tier, but it's intended for experiments. It's very limited and wouldn't be acceptable for any serious website, certainly not a 'world class' setup. Unless you're very careful to have one

I used to think that was a huge issue. But my friend bought an iPhone 7 and he says it's just not a problem in practice. He keeps the adaptor permanently attached to his (non-Apple) headphones. It's not like you have to fiddle aro

Would you be OK with me asking you to avoid using a standard U.S. English phrase so it's clearer for us Brits? "Black cab driver" is part of our lexicon. It carries a lot of cultural meaning, and it's always phrased like

You don't lose it. You use type checking like a linter, to highlight issues as you type. If you also want to use it as an enforcer, you set it up as a pre-commit hook or a CI step or whatever you want. The idea is not to be forced to t

I agree that's a downside, but it almost never comes up in practice, and it's solved by syntax highlighting when it does. I'm always in a code editor when editing YAML, it's not something that goes down the wire and need

Human readability is exactly the point of significant whitespace. And I'm not sure how significant whitespace could even work without distinguishing between tabs and spaces, as a tab could represent any number of spaces.

If data is so big that parsing is a bottleneck, that seems like the wrong case for YAML. It's good for hand-edited and human-readable config files, and it's fast enough for that.

I use YAML all the time (for config) and the things you mention have caused no more than one minute's frustration in my life. JSON is great for serialisation, YAML for little config files that need frequent hand-editing during developm

I don't think he made a value judgement. He didn't say all scraping is malicious. He just suggested that some scrapers can be malicious.
