It’s still possible to have circular dependencies in microservices. There is normally nothing stopping service A calling B and B calling A except common sense and discipline. In fact I would say it’s MORE difficult to prevent circular micro

But then why not just introduce a rule: Django ‘apps’ can only talk to each other via pure Python dicts like an interface? (rather than sharing models)? This situation is a necessary conceptual step before decoupled micro services and far f

But you can avoid this quite easily without resorting to microservices.

Yes but also any public transport in London, eg. Buses are also ‘TfL’. And a few Thames taxis.

I think the end game will be that the domain part of a URL will become optional so that it is valid to enter just a TLD in the browser and the company that owns that TLD can redirect. So http://google would be a valid URL that r

But interestingly that was not the case for Python which is definitely in the top 5 most popular languages today. I wonder how/why Python accomplished this without any corporate backer?

Sometimes storing in UTC is simply not correct. For example a shop opening time. The shop opens 10am local time, whether DST or not. Their opening time is 10am local time all year but their UTC opening time actually changes depending on the

Amazon even made a promotional video when they shut down their last Oracle database https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=9yBP5gnnZi4 Perhaps it was retaliation for Larry’s comments about Amazon in this interview https:/&#x2F

I think the problem is individuals treating real estate as a risk free asset (it’s not) and our cultural acceptance of retail investors placing highly leveraged bets (via mortgages) on those assets. If you have a bad portfolio (100% real es

But the security hole is not that you can access someone else’s email messages.. it’s that you can do ‘I forgot my password’ flow for accounts associated with an email address that was previously owned by someone else!

I do genuinely believe a lot of things are like this in the software industry: especially as it is a relatively young industry. You put it very nicely, we are still in the process of oscillating around the optimum ways of doing things.

This article signals to me that we may have reached ‘peak microservice’ and should now expect a flood of blog posts extolling the virtues of monoliths and lots of industry effort to combine microservices into self-contained monoliths.

My take on this is that the network effects of living in a big city vs. small town actually increased post-internet. Ie. the value proposition of the physical city network is even greater with internet. One obvious example is on demand food

On the one hand it’s annoying, on the other it enforces a discipline of thought in the same way that having to name variables does.

Yes, this is the straightforward ‘collaborative filtering’ algorithm. I suppose the line between ‘algorithm’ and AI/ML is not well defined though. At what point does a technique become ‘AI’? I don’t know a good answer.

I’m not sure about this. The fractional reserve we have today is based on a system where the underlying monetary base can be created out of thin air. A Bitcoin based fractional reserve would be based on something which fundamentally can’t b
