Let's keep it civilized please. I cited a specific example from my experience, I'm not parroting anything.

Sure, I was perhaps too hyperbolic. In my case, the advantage was specifically fault isolation for a multi-tenant, low traffic, demanding workload that was traditionally deployed as a physical service.

It all depends, I think. I once used multi-threading to speed up the initialization of a Lambda which was just a "port" of a beefy rest service. It was ported to cut costs and for fault isolation. I managed to gain 2-3 seconds of

Your points are valid if your priority is to reduce cost. Totally agree. That said, Lambda has an API and SDK, and concurrency is managed. Warm up is a nightmare if you don't develop specifically for Lambda, but scalability is easy. Th

It's possible, but it requires investment, and it's likely to slow down productivity a little. The default approach in big traditional corps (not implying Apple is traditional) is to leave it up to IT, and maybe hire a Security Of

Cool, but real web surfers use Emacsium.

It even looks a little cynical and critical. I would like to see Sir Patrick Stewart recite that.

To my shame I had never tried ADA before, but after a cursory look I find the syntax similar to Oracle's PL/SQL, which evokes many bad memories. I am sure I will be able to enjoy the language once I pass this barrier.

Probably two flavors of the Apple 2. I assume the logo for the 2e was in italics.

Well, for a system to be consistent (in the meaning of CAP) AND available, the problem with the concurrent writes would have to be solved anyway (i.e. via distributed locking), so I don't think this would be an issue after a partition

Always wondered, if the CAP theorem does not account for latency, one assumes infinite latency does not impact availability. Shouldn't then be possible to define a theoretical system with an infinite buffer that, in the event of a netw

Do you think depth estimation could be done with two cameras plus computer vision (to find markers)? I think this is more or less what we do with our own eyes. Of course you would need much more processing power, but maybe for some applicat

This metric is also unsuitable for Europe, where generally pizzas are individual.

While that is true, a microservices architecture can (and in my opinion should) rely on messaging and account for message schema evolution. Dependencies between services should be way less coupling than dependencies between an application a

The siblings already said it, but event sourcing requires you (at least for practical purposes) to segregate the read model from the write model using "projections". The good thing is that, whenever you create a new service, you c
19.
by Autowired 7y ago
I agree with you, maybe except about the atomicity part. When you use event sourcing, your source of truth becomes the event log, so transactioning against your local representation of the state does not give you the same guarantees.
20.
by Autowired 7y ago
No, you should not compute the state you need from the event log on every request, this would be absurd. Your authorization service can maintain its own database (a "view" of the current state), or even an in-memory representation

Thank you Mozilla! The translation capabilities are the only reason I still have Chrome installed on my phone and laptop. And they are vital to me, since I live in a country whose language I still don't speak.

This is amazing and I want to add something like this to my side project list right now. But maybe it is a bit too extreme, i.e. using a ruler and glue won't save you that much money compared to using some better materials. But I guess
