To be clear, it was a intended helpful comment with the point that the argument /exists/, an attempt to explain why one would do such a thing. Whether you or I support it or not is irrelevant. Unless you are arguing that the idea should not even be discussed, downvotes are malicious. The mere mention of an idea should not be attacked.

Communicate in way that will convey the meaning you desire to others. Everything else is self-indulgence and solipsism. It's your responsibility to make yourself understood, not ours.

It was a simple sentence. While I'd like for people to understand as well as possible, I'm not going to write defensive paragraphs every comment to prevent others from projecting their bias(es) onto my words and/or jumping first to negative conclusions.

It's no way to live and would be impossible anyway, how to know in which direction todays random replier will hijack my comment?

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 have shell access) and its components are all open sourced, so it should be relatively easy to move from there to a VPS if you ever need to. Other than that, Heroku comes from mult…

If you like the idea of "Heroku for anything", I encourage you to try the original: dotCloud has been running a similar platform for almost a year now. We're flattered to see everyone shift gear and try our approach. But we like being one generation ahead - and we have a few announcements up our sleeve, too.

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.

Yep. It could be argued that the first is more readable though.

Personally, I find: x += 2 Easier to read then: x = x + 2 For many reasons.. but mainly: 1) The first statement basically says: Add 2 to x, while the second says: Take x, add 2 and add that to x.. Which is one more step. 2) When a variable is repeated multiple time, I always read the line multiple time to make sure there is no error. For instance, in english "On the screen, there there is a xyz". I'll stop and read t…

Looking a bit closer:

1) "Take x, add 2 and add that to x" the second add should be "set x to that". "Which is one more step." It is the same amount of steps, just a difference in how it is represented to the end user.

2) Hmm, never thought about that type of connection before. In my experience I had many years of "x = x + 1" in both Algebra class and when first exposed to Basic programing. I didn't encounter C (first exposure to extended operators) for at least another decade.

Whenever I see such an assignment statement I visualize this in my head...

  x = x + 1
  x = 5 + 1
  x = --> 6

Heroku, AppHosted, DotCloud, ep.io, Gondor.io, DjangoZoom, Google App Engine. Looks like the market for "push-hosting" django (suddenly?) increased much more than that existed for ruby frameworks. AFAI am concerned, WebFaction, Linode, Slicehost, EC2 more than addressed what I wanted for a while. Not that I don't like these or that they don't make my life simpler- They very much do. But is there room for so many? Do…

All the ones that support Django out of the box, are all in private beta I believe. So the market is starting to warm up to Django, but still not open for sale. Hopefully they all get through private beta and release, because competition is good for the market.

Except one or two, all of them are available for general public.

Hi Steph, I just dropped you an email with good news :)

Slight OT: Is it just me or non-Ruby/NodeJS no longer works on Cedar stack? Cleaning up... -----> Discovering process types ! Heroku push rejected due to an unrecognized error. ! We've been notified, see http://support.heroku.com if the problem persists

More info: I'm running exactly what's on this Gist.
