I would love to see the prompt that led to that word salad

Just about to set up a new app to deploy to Heroku, but this does not seem promising. Render seems like the next logical move, but curious where others are looking for alternatives.

I moved to render years ago and have been very happy with the decision. It feels like heroku, if it never got acquired by salesforce and kept improving.

Railway for backend APIs. Render for front-end apps. That's my current go-to.

Although I would consider, _when possible_, using Vercel or Netlify.


Why/when do you use Railway over Render?

When bandwidth matters, when you don't want to over or under provision, when you need multiple seats: if you make a project with a small team, Render is going to be quite expensive because of the cost of each seat while Railway offers unlimited seats for they paid plans. Just the whole pricing is different, I found myself more leaning into Railway when doing calculations.

why split, you could use railway and render for both front end and back end

Sorry, I wasn't saying you should split, I wanted to say that depending on what type of apps you are more leaning into one makes a bit more sense than the other. Render with their own CDN is quite good for frontend apps. In comparison, the whole config and auto scalling/provisioning of Railway makes it easier for backend app.

Of course you can do both with both of these services.


Yes, Render if you want something similar.

yes,, render feels like the most natural next step right now (similar mental model). Still kind of nostalgic about Heroku, had really good times with it.

which was true


No this is a Russian canard and not true. In fact some of the fiercest resistance to Russian occupation came from the Donbas.


And yet, it's not a justification for what was done there, and it's not a justification for what was done in this case either. Wasn't a justification in Iraq with Saddam for that matter. I remember the day the Iraqis pulled that statue down, they seemed very happy to be able to do that. And then...


My understanding is that the US military is not so great at the "hearts and minds" game, to put it politely. It doesn't take much time for locals to be outraged by macho assholes acting like they own the place. Makes the recently dethroned dictator look somewhat decent in comparison.

Fixed


It never ceases to amaze me how google search _used_ to work great for stuff like this. You could just type "tbray {obscure term on a blog entry from 10 years ago}" and bam, instant result.

I guess google generates more ad revenue with users forlornly paging through search results, hoping against hope that what they're looking for is there somewhere...


I thought they were talking about League of Legends players, whoops


I've never been a huge user of either, but my worst Uber ride was much better than my best taxi ride.


The last time I dragged my family into a taxi because of my anti Uber ideology, the driver stank to hell of body odor, asked me to input directions on his phone covered with dried snot from him sneezing with his mouth open, he drove dangerously under the speed limit on the freeway, and it took twice as long to get home as normal.

But at least I didn’t give Uber any money…


I'm immediately reminded of the Slavoj Zizek quote,

"I already am eating from the trashcan all the time. The name of this trashcan is ideology"


Strange, my last Uber driver had BO. Normally they are fine however.


ideally, science would be the best available information on "is". When the science is i.e. funded by a tobacco company and regarding the safety of tobacco, we should be skeptical. How much of current science falls in a similar class?


how many public health officials acted with awareness of the prevention paradox during covid?

if your expensive Tesla starts on fire and burns down your house, it might not have been such a good idea
