No sane person will hate on your studying, you are doing what you gotta do to survive, good luck out there friend.

Agreed, it's a matter of degree. You can auto-scale up to a certain amount, at least in Heroku, so in practice you can limit it, say up to 8 servers or something, but nothing beats your own box if you can afford the opportunity cost.

Can't think of any, but managed hosting tends to do better. For instance if you are doing your testing in Ruby, I'd suggest hosting on Heroku while you do all your preliminary work, where it's clear(er) what the cost will be,

Ruby is just for plumbing, i.e. preparing queries and whatnot, it's still pg_dump under the hood.

Another beautifully designed piece of Emacs software is magit, where the defaults are extremely sane. The package is self-documented and you can learn it all by typing ? anytime. Being able to git log the file you are in is also a huge plus

This is already being done in places such as the university of Arizona (Chomsky and his former students). The subject is narrower of course (computational linguistics and some neuroscience), but there are taking an approach that is more Gal

Genuinely curious if this has been done, but considering that a $1000 is not a lot of money which suggests you are not running a big operation, why not use it and tie the rest to a card with a limit such as from privacy.com? Granted Amazon

I agree with you on most points, and they are working hard to fix the generics issue in a way that does not make you lose all the nice things you mentioned. The only part I didn't get is: > The use of zero values is a crime against

Depends. If it's a bug or a new feature built on top of code that is already tested, then I will write the tests because they fit nicely into already existing testing infrastructure. The test therefore "proves" the bug, and t

This always comes up, so I am curious if one fixes for "where the Tesla is driven" when doing safety analysis? Considering how difficult it is to get a Tesla (and for older models, how expensive), surely if one fixes for location,

I think there is a middle ground. Apps could announce the upcoming railroad crossing just like they do with a left/right turn. Somewhat of a silly example, but if there is a river at the end of a road and your only option is a left or

Sure, no worries. You probably don't know about Roger, who is a good writer actually and much humbler man than what you thought out of this post. And I think you just misunderstood the statement, his fortune cookie reference is to the

Your comment reminds of this wonderfully written post by Roger Ebert[1]. It's not the same topic, but there is something to be glanced at in his writing where he eludes to choice, editorial-ism, and doing a story regardless of what the

That's certainly true, you are making the leap of faith that your customers are running standard compliant browsers, which, all considered, is true. All the techniques you mention require you to break either the customers or some eleme

It also creates huge discrepancy between what a developer using an ORM like ActiveRecord writes and how the engines end up optimizing, meaning that should you want to write a performant one, you have to learn both, or, short of that, notify

What's the definition of "fair" here? There are many scenarios under which that makes no sense. Is the price inflation adjusted? What if the currency in question tanked in the mean time? What about actual labor done on the co

I think the definition has evolved. Since usually the DB is reset between tests (and such reset is snappy), it's transparent enough to appear as unit testing. That we do this in a buggy manner or do not understand how to properly res

For me, having to put it on a credit card is effectively not being able to cover it, so the numbers do check out, from this perspective. Again, we are talking an emergency, not a mortgage.
