What would this be best used for?
Nothing. Demoing novel wasm usage maybe?

#12Nice, you can actually do something a bit more flexible using SQLite on AWS Lambda. "Just" mount an elastic file system (EFS) onto your functions. I wrote about it here: https://franz.hamburg/writing/shared-storage-for-lambda-func...

#13Earlier quoted context omitted.
Words can have multiple meanings and meanings of words can change.
Almost like how the English language has been literally hijacked and destroyed. Language does change and evolve. The misuse and subsequent additional meaning for “literally” to now also be a simile for “figuratively” is a good example of how this isn’t necessarily always a good thing.
The changing and evolution of language is neither a good nor bad thing, it just is.

#14I have a Google Cloud Function that uses SQLite to store a user's previous day tweets and do some minor sorting and filtering of data. Works very well and saves me the cost of a "real" SQL instance.

Where's the SQLite database written? How do you ensure only one writer is modifying it?

#16SQLite was already serverless. https://www.sqlite.org/serverless.html
> SQLite was already serverless. Yes but now it runs on someone else server! Wait a minute, this makes no sense... 'serverless' is perhaps the stupidest marketing buzzword developers have come up with.
Indeed it's quite stupid. Any alternative catchy name for the concept?

Did I read it right you get 1 second responses? Why even bother with lambdas? A t3 nano reserved instance costs 2 bucks a month or something! Surely most folks don't anticipate 1000x scaling in minutes? Coupled to elastic beanstalk you can get reaonable scaling as well!

To be fair, we wouldn't have "literally" without a metaphoric interpretation of "literalis," "of or relating to letters."
I always find this particular example to be somewhat self-contradicting for this reason.

How is "literally" used as a simile for "figuratively"?
A simile would require a sentence in which "literally" is compared to "figuratively", wouldn't it?
My impression, as a non-native speaker, is that the misused "literally" is to indicate exaggeration, not the quality of being figurative.

How about "inetd"?
