I'm not sure I understand the pricing. I get you got twice the amount of memory compared to a 1X dyno. But still the rest of the resources is the same. For instance they will share a single queue (which is the point, no problem here), so th

On the contrary I like it. They have finite resources and it answers immediately with the correct response.

The demo about the vm+server startup time is interesting, but I am glad to know about the way they use Nginx to proxy the request twice to do the provisioning of the vm+server. Edit: I wonder if the numbers would be similar if the example w

It is just an example to show how quickly they can provision a new vm+server. They are not advocating for it to be a good way to serve requests.

The following situation happens with other data than just unicode. This seems an argument for static typing in general. The reason this approach is problematic is that it means the traceback for an unexpected UnicodeDecodeError or Unico

Usually, expressivity in a programming language is not really a matter of syntactic constructs but a matter of semantic constructs. But choosing a programming language involves much more than semantic (or syntax). Depending on the situation

This is the first time I see someone seriously dismiss, and choose, a programming language based solely on its syntax. Also the first time I see one to pretend Haskell makes it more difficult to express oneself because of the syntax. Surely

From the post: For a more powerful example (lifted straight from the Julia docs), we can compare Julia and R code for computing the 25th Fibonacci number recursively. How is it a powerful example? How is it meaningful when comparing

I don't think it was a good read because I already thoroughly agree with you. In fact, as with a lot of things about programming, even when programmers are widely accustomed to that line of thought, the real problem will be to convince mana

Stallman didn't say he's glad Steve Jobs died. I understand he's glad that Steve's influence on computing stop, as that influence is driving computing in a closed ecosystem. You can take it in a non-emotional way. A is, in your opinion, a b

I don't like their links fading-in (I could click faster on, say, language tools if I had not to wait). Now they make my browser choke (firefox on netbook, cpu in powersave).
