What you say is worth considering, but I think you implicitly overstate two points: 1) their shenanigans aren't as old as you imply 2) these crimes happen over the course of years. You talk about the 90s, but it was in 2004 that the EU

There's lesson to be learned everywhere, including Tokyo. But it's hardly a perfect system. The main trains and stations are absurdly busy (to a degree where it won't work in the US). Signage is awful, and many station are co

My point is that you can achieve many of the same benefits of microservices within a single app (or "vm" in erlang terms). So you get isolation (beam processes), decoupling (message passing) and resilience (supervisors) without ha

We've been using Elixir almost exclusively for a couple years, and I can't speak highly enough about it. There are clearly problems where beam is ill-suited, but otherwise, I almost feel religious about it. I've worked for ma

A war of aggression has nothing to do with whether or not it was declared (in fact, declaring such a war is, by itself, considered a war of aggression and is illegal and is a war crime). Are you sure you still feel that committing a war cri

You say "proper" but what you're describing (at least the military option) is a war of aggression. This is not only illegal (both internationally, and, for example, in US Law), but described as "the supreme international

Although the article is focused on automation, I'd say almost all of the software industry is in a 20 year period of failing to learn much from TPS/lean (with no end in sight).

It's a leading question which is based on what? Either provide a source, or at least avoid singling a group out. If you say "China produces most of the plastic waste" without any background, that's just prejudice. We con
