What's interesting is that I find Google's search quality today to be on par with the quality that existed before Google showed up and changed everything. Whether it is better than all the other garbage isn't really importan

It's both, really. I seem to recall somewhere around 2006 Google changed to providing personalized search results based on your history. Since then the quality of search has declined horribly and my assumption is that it's a sid

That very much depends on your definition of service. OASIS defines a service as "a mechanism to enable access to one or more capabilities, where the access is provided using a prescribed interface and is exercised consistent with cons

No? Why are micro-services only defined by synchronous/socket communication? Even monolithic threaded apps rely on asynchronous workflows. The fact that a 3rd party is used to relay the request doesn't really matter. My point w

Having a separate process also allows for decoupling pieces of application logic so that they can be deployed independently of each other. You can build this into a monolith but it's typically hard and error-prone. A pipeline I work o

No, you can't describe it. Your senses are overwhelmed in ways that don't have a real-world analog so there is no description that you can convey to others that's in any way accurate. It's the entire point of an altere

You don't need more than what you have. You have essentially built a minimal MVC. Everything else you add is just stuff that other people added to other MVC projects to make life easier for them in some way. Web MVCs are basically j

Validation logic needs to be spread throughout the system because your validations are all context sensitive to the operations being performed. It's not always possible to front-load that into a simple schema in your transports and ea

In my experience most DNS admins abhor the idea of putting private IP addresses in public DNS space and it's simply not even an option they consider. I've used weird DNS tricks like this for years and never really encountered any
