   Thanks for pointing that out. Looks like ruby2C has been abandoned ( Activity Percentile: 0% ), which is a shame. High level languages that compile down to C are such a powerful idea, but it's a concept that doesn't seem to get that much at

   In the end, short of asking for e-mail receipts, which many consider rude, our only hope seems to lie in philosophical repositioning. I acquired some of that entity when [P.M. Forni] told me that, online, “we communicate because we can and

   I imagine it's about being able to include the whole framework inside your project, without inflating it with a number of files or even having to create a new folder.

   I think you're confusing news and reviews. "G+ is awesome" is clearly indicative of an opinion, and in that sense the headline is actually quite descriptive of the content of the article, unlike sensationalistic headlines.

   I have a client synchronization utility that uses MongoDB instead of SQLite because it's lightweight but I have all ease of use of MongoDB. Install it as a windows service with our installer and we are good to go. And in this context, MySq

    I'm not arguing if it's noble or not. But how often does an ad on Google add value to you as a user? I'm genuinely curious.

    You do realize twitter is a form of promotion, aka advertising. You meant 'marketing', right?

    Perceptually, ads don't offer value to the users experience, quite the contrary. This sums it up nicely: Another salient difference: Google: Thanks for looking at 100s of ads you hate. Apple: Thanks for buying 100s of dollars of stuff you

    Thanks. Note that you'll always want a way to resync the redis copy of the data with what's in your database. Why is that? Isn't Redis persistent?

    I'm a little concerned with the added complexity of decoupling the datastore into two different systems that are relied on for application logic. What are good strategies to maintain consistency between the two, in the event of a failure? I

    This is very cool. It seems like a well thought out process too. Any plans on doing languages other than Ruby?

    they scale nicely auto-magically What do you mean by that? According to the pricing FAQ [1] not only there's no auto-scaling, but adding concurrent processes costs $40 a month each: The unit of scale for a runtime service is a service pr

    Interesting, thank you. So what would be the security implications of allowing Nitro to create code dynamically within a sandboxed process? AFAIK, only compiled code (ObjC,C,C++) can call private APIs, and the app review process guards agai

    Dotcloud looks very interesting, but to me it's hard to consider next to strong competitors that have established their pricing... That said I'm very looking forward to see the dotcloud pricing announced.

    how much RAM can a process use? What happens if I run Redis and fill it up with "a lot" of data? From http://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/how-much-memory-does-a-... : Each dyno has 300MB of memory. If your process uses more than 300MB

    The [good / bad] news for you is: you [won't have to / can't] use the AppEngine High Replication Datastore. It's also worth mentioning that unlike AppEngine the Heroku stack is a unix based environment (call "heroku run bash" and boom, you
