One of the best known proponents of a Microservice architecture is Netflix. Adrian Cockcroft has been talking about it at conferences for quite some time now (e.g. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wyWI3gLpB8o ). Netflix is kno

Time and time again I've found the following classification useful for thinking about REST and web-APIs in general: http://www.nordsc.com/ext/classification_of_http_based_apis.... Most of the stuff people are desc

Core.typed appears to have some higher kind and variance support (as seen in the user guide - https://github.com/clojure/core.typed/wiki/User-Guide ). Type classes can be mimicked via multimethods or protocols

They actually are easier once you learn the (simple) novelties. Simplicity makes the learning process shorter.

I think consistency with math doesn't make "if x > 0" simpler than "> x 0". Makes it easier, as it's already ingrained in the memory, yes. For example, how would you express the "between?" in

The 'easier to read' part is valid maybe for the first week of working with a Lisp (commenting as a part of a team which switched from mostly-Java to only-Clojure several months ago). Pros for Clojure: * Faster code -> result c

Literary fiction develops empathy and sense of morality. It's sad to see so many people completely neglecting literary fiction as being not useful or less advantageous than technical or other non-fictional literature. I always regarded

There is also http://geteventstore.com/ - an immutable event database by one of the main CQRS aficionados - Greg Young. BTW, clustered HA setup has been opensourced very recently. Really solid and fun to work with.

Wicket isn't suitable for highly scalable or single page applications as is (the ones which benefit from a rich client side and a stateless API approach). It is highly productive for typical backoffice applications though. The only pro

Unfortunately, mediocre developers are perfectly capable of learning to either catch and silently ignore checked exceptions (checked exceptions actually promote this habit, which can be successfully used in other languages with exceptions)

To be fair, they have mostly fixed the IO API with Java 7 (NIO2). This covers various Files# helpers as well as a proper Path abstraction.

There is another database which can be used in the 'accumulation-based' space: http://geteventstore.com It has the same main drawbacks as Datomic - it's young and multi-node deployment comes with commercial plan only, however it's really

The thing is, at least in my experience, there is absolutely no need to have _any_ academic background in order to be a good businessman. What you do need to have is smarts (see the possibility), tenacity (grab the possibilty) and relentles

I consider myself technical, but when recently faced with a task of backing up contacts from an iPad to iCloud - I got scared. The iPad had an iCloud account set up. It was unrelated to the current device's owner, so I couldn't back the dev

Imagine you could create custom dashboards and debugging views for your domain types and your domain logic. Not just tailing the log and navigating some variables in a standard debugger. I believe this will help immensely when approache

There was an interesting production-grade event store released recently which fits the described use-case: http://geteventstore.com Basically, you store all of the data as events (event sourcing) and create separate query views (projectio

There seems to be no other way to communicate with you or 10xlabs, so excuse me for cluttering this thread. You have an error on the sign up page - 'lounch' should be 'launch'.

There is a significant body of work done by Lev Gumilev on the death and genesis of ethnoi (the cyclical nature of societies, as You've put it). It will certainly let you see things from a different perspective. Sadly, most of his books wer

"Financier" by T.Dreiser and "Martin Eden" by J.London. Some of the best books you'll ever read about character development. Definitely read the latter one if you're in your early 20-ies.
