   Then surely all the effort being put into make browsers not browsers would be better directed towards solving those goals, without bastardising the web? I always thought that the SPA crowd would settle on a custom content-type to handle web

   "create an immersive application that feels like you're no longer in a browser at all" That seems like a very odd goal.

   Personally, I've yet to see a real solid case for SPAs. I know that may be confused for negativity towards the SPA technology, but I always found it to be a technology looking for a problem. Again, in my experience, SPAs break the web

   "if you care about interactivity, responsiveness, and general user experience" A simple web page (no-js) in a browser covers these three things to a highly acceptable standard. It's when you start to add the other junk that t

   I've never used any of Hashicorps stuff (thought consul did arrive on my radar theother day..). Any recommendations? We use the Atlassian stack here (stash, bamboo, etc) and deploy to AWS (regular AMIs rather than any of that fancy doc

   Yup[ thats exactly how I'm using it: a simple Golang program that just wraps the QML program and the websockets, JSON-RPC features to make calls and receive events from a Golang backend process. SOOOO much nicer than HTML/JS/

   I've not tried this but I thought I'd mention that I've been using the QT QML packages for building desktops apps and the results are amazing! https://github.com/go-qml/qml Even better with the Material

    Thanks for the solid example. I especially like the use of the NVIM_LISTEN_ADDRESS environment variable for service discovery of the backend!

    Yeah it kinda reminds me of the "plumbing and porcelain" approach of some programs like git. It also is nice that a lot of modern init process can fire up the back ends on demand and kill them after a while.

    Recently I've been exploring the idea that small programs should consist of two parts; a "backend" that you can communicate with via a strict message protocol like protobuf. It can handle multiple requests because it is a min

    robots.txt files are not mechanisms for authorizing access; they are guidelines designed to instruct user-agents on relevant resources. They essentially say to the user-agent "the content marked as 'disallow' should not be cr

    Iterative cycles take advantage of the regularity of change. APIs shouldn't change once public, hence the emphasis on Big Upfront Design. However, change still needs to happen so versioning comes into play. Personally, when it comes to

    As REST is an architectural style I always preferred the phrase mock-REST, as in mock-tudor which is a physical world architectural style with similar meaning i.e. the house wasn't built with adherence to the tudor methods of architect

    Gah! You're right. In that case POST would be the only acceptable option here.

    Thank you for your honesty. It's refreshing and I appreciate it. I'm not sure if your response is an attempt at a counter argument, but the line "... standard methods and media types are used to indicate semantics and exchang

    The example I gave is idempotent. Calling it n >0 times would result in the same side effects.

    Both REST AND HTTP allow you to specify your own verbs and media types! What I was suggesting was that the semantics of the API could be better expressed as its own media-type with specific semantics rather than try to force the existing HT

    DELETE a card from the deck. Return the card(s) drawn in the response body. Have a separate resource for the top of the deck: DELETE /api/<deck-id>/top?count=2 ------ 200 Ok 8♣ 10♥

    I'm not sure that a CRUD like interface would be best for something like this. In addition, as this is very much an API and the returned JSON changes depending on the action called on the resource, this looks to me like the ideal candi

    I thought the reason why the modern "flat" movement existed at all was because text doesn't appear on a "regular" surface; its on a computer screen. The idea was that designers should be honest in their use of compu

    In most of the example he gives, these solutions are ensuring the integrity of the data stored, which I personally have no problem with; that is the job of the database in my view. If I try and store crap the database should refuse, be that

    "Scaling is a nice problem to have" Don't write code to handle 1 million users if you've only got 100. Usually just getting something up and running is enough of a problem for most.
