> I disagree. Starting with a bad set of microservices can be fixed by merging. Merging two codebases is trivial compared to splitting. Again, if I have isolation between the services, even if the slicing up was done badly, even if they

When I said encapsulation, I just meant that all the settings are in one file, vs. spread out amongst keys all over HKCU which is often the case in the registry.

I've spent a lot of time in both the registry and config files. The big advantage of config files over the registry is you get encapsulation for free with config files. With the registry the system, apps, hardware, etc. are free to (an

It's not like this is out of the blue. NATO has been training the Ukrainians for eight years because of the risks. The Europeans should have been hedging their bets against Russian gas as well.

All credible and verified evidence points to your skepticism being badly misplaced. In this case, we have satellite photos of the Russians from March 10th through March 31st having dug a large at mass grave site. Reuters journalists later c

I think both you and the parent are both probably correct (from a US perspective) to varying degrees. There is less trust in institutions because information is more quickly and widely disseminated. Thus we more often see through attempts a

Thanks for the in-depth response. That's really great news about async querysets getting merged! Even with adapter thread pooling, that should dramatically increase Django's throughput and hopefully make it competitive with newer
