But how monolithic were our monoliths anyway? Take your bog-standard ecommerce solution, built with a LAMP stack. Okay, we've got a php process. Let's put our business logic there. Okay, I need a database. With current cloud pract

That sounds fair, but another pov: I'm pretty much in favor of subways but I'd be opposed to any light rail project in a heartbeat.

But is it fair to compare light rail with subways? Seems to me light rail is the worst of all worlds: Slow, low carrying capacity, subject to the same traffic as cars and probably expensive.

never even think about how their services will inevitably be used against others. Or they know how it will be abused and want to charge for filtering the abusers. That's the yelp way.

If the developer can get permission to build 3-5 story apartments on the lot wouldn't that only work for a single unit? Like, yes, if inside a single-family-zoned block a unit would get a special permission to be the only one t

The pronunciation of something is secondary to its definition. But with a phonetic language, it's easy to fool yourself as well as others of an understanding that is not very deep. well, children are introduced to "reading

I think it's a big stretch to assume that Japanese people can't even read books on the train because their literacy is so low. That's also an uncharitable interpretation of the article, or anything I pointed. The best

That makes sense. On the other hand, what made me side with the author here is this. About a year ago, I read a study (which I wish to hell I could locate again) that made the case that children raised with more phonetic languages, such

Japanese folks lag behind in education simply because their language requires them to spend far longer mastering reading. This significantly delays their progress. https://japaneseruleof7.com/are-japanese-people-r

I think it's because these languages really like mono and two syllable words. Shorter words make a shorter "namespace" so repetition is more common. It's also the reason rhyming is easier though.

you can make your component's css "not leak" if you name all it's classes with random uuid and scope all selectors accordingly, exactly what styled components does. But "not leaking css" is a nicer way of sayin

It's funny -and not counter to your point- but several of the succession struggles that plagued the Eastern Empire are characterized as "almost elections", by historians. Since its inception, the empire never had an official

Well, but then it's not the same api call and that's the point: that in the old mvc frameworks it was painful having to support controllers that both rendered html and json for doing both SSR and Ajax. Around the time the first js

Well, it's code for "keep density low" and "keep traffic out of my property while I go generate traffic on other people's property". The results are the same though.

by bernawil 6y ago
the template rendering lives side by side with the controllers, why would it make an api call? But something similar but not the same as that was the norm during the jquery era before the early js frameworks arised (backbone, ember et all).

Not to cache simple trips to the database is pretty uncontroversial, the are more controversial cases elsewhere. Say you consume a Restful API to hidrate order data in another system. Do you fetch orders as: /orders?ids=id-1,id-2,i

And if you DO need caching, keep your hands off of the application; add a cache layer in front, or between the application and the database. But don't invent it yourself. so, redis?

Agreed, but I wouldn't put 2015 as the year React "won". It did "win" the SPA frameworks war, but back then the default for webdev was still non-SPA and React was competing with jquery/"no framework"

Dark Ritual was banned for as long as I remember (I played extended during 2003-2006). It's pretty much the definition of an OP card: if you were to draw 2 copies and a strong creature it'd be almost imposible to lose that game.
