I find most "smart" professionals I interact with are people, mostly like other people. The internet is different of course, but if you're painting people with a broad brush based upon internet interactions, there are bigger

It really depends upon what those 25 different services are. If they are trivial to separate sure. Like an image resizing microservice, an email sending microservice, and so on. I mean go wild, these are trivial. Coincidentally, when pe

I generally agree with you but I'm for a single payer system like Canada. Because eventually, you have to stop looking for the ideal system and pick a good one. This has been talked about since Bill Clinton was president. I run acros

It's amazing to me how many online friends I've lost contact with due people moving on from ICQ and AIM. Back in the early 2000s, due to online gaming and hobby software development, Trillian would regularly have around 50 people

When I was house hunting, 4 bedroom condos in a city basically didn't exist. Most of the ones I saw were 5-10x the price of a suburban 4 bedroom home - and that's ignoring the HOA fee, which many single family residences don'

Sure. But on a school day my kid spends around 7 hours at school. And only 3 awake hours with me. And in those 3 hours we also have to fit in breakfast, dinner, chores, and getting them ready for school. So maybe 1 hour of actual time w

A microservice doesn't have to be micro! They are oftentimes a single bounded context in domain driven design, which can be huge.

Microservices doesn't necessarily mean you have a ton of services. A single microservice can encompass millions of lines of code. Honestly, its a bad name for the architecture.

You can have it both ways. Have a section of facts and statistics along with links. And have a section of opinion. Media companies are heavy on opinion, and shockingly short on full facts. The vast majority of articles never do much work

In the USA, what a hospital charges does not necessarily have any correlation with the cost of servicing your problem. In the same city, the price of a procedure from hospital to hospital can vary by up to 10x.

Don't go to the ER for a sprained thumb. Unless its an actual emergency, go to urgent care. I live in a pretty expensive area of California and they still only charge $95 per person they see. And our insurance covers it completely.

Sure, but it's not always obvious when a kid wearing a swim diaper poops. And they don't always tell you. Especially if they know it means they have to get out of the pool to change the diaper.
