I had the exact same reaction to reading those lines. Everyone I knew was more than happy to use AOL to surf the World Wide Web it was only when their cost and speed stagnated next to competitors did people jump ship.

Buried beneath the sensational headline is the fact that Panasonic has been slowly divesting over the past year. They did not just "dump" the stock today, they simply reported that they had finished selling all their shares today.

Even more appropriate: Over the course of the last year Panasonic has divested from TSLA and used the gains to expand car battery operations. The currently headline makes it sound like it just click sell on $3.6B shares, the article makes c

I don't understand why I would use this over Helm? I am even further confused when I go to the docs and it has guides for creating a kpt package from a helm chart: https://googlecontainertools.github.io/kpt/guides&

Just because the outcome of the code (i.e. obfuscated code) is "clever" doesn't mean that the code that does the obfuscation is clever

Not OP, but I too am confused. I understood the sketch artist analogy but that didn't seem related to this point: >They also trained the model with non-blackhole images. Since the output of the model was approximately the same, this

This was my thought exactly! It is awfully pretentious to tell someone else what their "dream job" is. People value different things and there are a ton of people who value the ability to work on a game over better working conditi

Wow quick to the low effort Slack is just IRC comment. In my opinion Slack does something that is often very undervalues and easily overlooked, it is like the opposite of a death my a thousand cuts - superiority by a thousand minor improvem

This was poorly worded on my part, Kubernetes does not in anyway solve this problem. Instead I meant to use Kubernetes as an example of the work being done to standardize and abstract these sorts of microservice issues. Kubernetes solves

Very true, but decoupling is only 1 of the benefits of microservice. Polygot environments, scalability, etc also come with microservices vs modules. As with everything its about the right tool for the job and a lot of organizations are more

I am an older dev that did a lot of "SOA" work back in the 2000's and I disagree that microservices are a "reinvention". In my opinion they are a further refinement of those SOA ideas (which is a good thing to keep

Some counter points, especially with fallacy #1: > Fallacy #1: Cleaner Code > “You don’t need to introduce a network boundary as an excuse to write better code.” I see this all the time as the argument against microservices: &quot

In my opinion they are the same thing, unfortunately the term SOA has gotten a bit poisoned. SOA mostly refers to "Enterprise SOA" now and Enterprise SOA has skewed many of the decoupled principles of SOA. For example Enterprise S
