I'm in a similar position to yourself here. Would love to apply as I think working on something essentially similar to a space program would be incredible, but as someone who values days off and a work-life balance, I cannot commit to that level of employment.

It's a shame RocketLab have adopted such a SpaceX-esque policy of employment. Surely it must be possible to build a rocketry company where employees work only 40 hour weeks...

I would love if each micro service article would start by defining what they mean with "micro service". Wikipedia says "In a microservices architecture, services should be fine-grained and the protocols should be lightweight."[1], but that leaves lot of things open, especially what does the micro mean size wise.

When these kind of things are not defined, people may take good advice and apply it wrong way. You read articles how large companies are embracing micro services. However a "micro" for them might mean very much different thing than what is means for smaller company. Just like with "big data".

It depends a lot on which discipline are we talking about - a computer science journal is nothing like a biology one.

Having said that, the requirements to publish in a good journal are quite high - reviewers will point out mistakes, demand more data if yours is not convincing enough, point out related literature that you might have missed, and so on. The journal will also check that the reviewers are not simply friends of the author. It can take about a year to get a journal article published.

After seeing some of the stuff that gets submitted (and rejected), I don't feel I can trust research that has not been peer reviewed. A good journal ensures that a minimum standard of quality is met, and that I'm not building my research on lies and fluff pieces.
Thanks. good reading... although I would argue that other categories need to (learn to) write too.

Just saying that you're using microservices doesn't guarantee that you'll be avoiding or capping tech debt. I've seen some hopelessly entangled "microservices" that are so full of assumptions about how other parts operate that they're essentially unusable anywhere except for one or two places. You need that discipline whether you are separating components by service boundaries or just by organization of code within a monolith.

I agree that microservices tend to make it harder to accrue tech debt past a certain point, though. Although they can also dramatically complexify the process of figuring out what is going on in an app if log files are spread around a ton of places (which is mainly a tooling problem).

>Many analysts treat Chinese corporate debt as more-or-less equivalent to public debt (and don't do this for the United States), on the assumption that the government will bail out SOEs rather than allow them to fail and create widespread unemployment

I'd say this certainly gives a lot of political leeway in China, compared to having the opposite in place. I wonder if all the major US companies that were bailed out, that their debt should be considered public debt seeing there is already a precedent in place. But something tells me I doubt moodys will have a word on that.

> Systematic sexism

systematic

Done or acting according to a fixed plan or system; methodical.

> Is it acceptable to be openly racist? Yes, in certain parts of America. My grandparents' county courthouse had a KKK rally to celebrate census results showing no minorities lived there. This was early 2000s.

Do reports on it. Call them out and protest there instead of places where there is hardly any racism. Call out specific regions and people, don't just say that, well everybody's racist, because this will not get people on your side.

> Also, I'm not going to keep discussing this with you mich further

So these were your best arguments?

> as all your responses are not conveying a genuine desire to discuss and consider arguments you disagree with, which is frankly a waste of both our time.

I have no idea where you got that idea from, I was just raising genuine questions and counter points that most people with the same opinion as you are having trouble answering.

You can't expect me to accept the existence of things like "Systematic sexism" if you can't define what it is, and prove it.

If your views are on solid ground, you should have no trouble defending them.

Well, they banned you because they want you to stop posting inappropriate pictures (as defined by their TOS). They also stopped you from using their messager because they were afraid you would just continue sending inappropriate picture using private messages (which would make their ban completely useless).

I agree though that they should have let your friends know that you cannot answer any messages for X amount of days.

Microservices were not just concocted by a team at Netflix

In the distant past, "microservices" were called "loosely coupled architectures" and these have been around since the early 80's I believe, but probably earlier. There isn't anything new about microservices, and they are a great idea in theory. In practice, there are all kinds of challenges, and these will have to weigh in on the architectural decision to deploy this particular pattern.

I am genuinely curious as to why we in information technology have such an astounding capacity for re-inventing (and re-labeling) the wheel. I rarely see as much "Not Invented Here" and "Not In My Backyard" as I do in our field.

It always bothers me that developers who are working with a team they can't trust to build a disciplined, modular application advocate moving to a more technically challenging architecture as a solution.

Well... I'm definitely older and had a safe business plan :-) I don't see that as being hostile to startups, though. I suppose if we remove the pejorative language, then I can understand better. There is definitely a different set of values, so different kinds of startups will be built here.

Interestingly, one of the reasons I decided not to open a brewery is similar to frustrations I've heard about in the west. You can't (or couldn't -- I think these laws are in the process of being changed) build a really small brewery legally. You had to produce at least 600 hl a year. I couldn't self-finance that kind of operation (I might be able to brew that quantity, but there is no way I would have time to sell it). I would have no trouble raising up to $1M but nobody willing to fund that is looking for a modest return. They want to see expansion plans right off the bat. So this means having plans to build a large factory in the next 10 years. I like brewing beer. I don't want to organise a large industrial factory :-)

Probably the same reason I'm still a programmer and not running my own startup...

> And yet reversibility hampers trade. Some business is never done with reversible CC transactions precisely because merchants can't accept the risk. Bitcoin enables them to pursue ventures that would otherwise not be doable.

We have techniques for doing irreversible transactions in the existing financial system. They're used for a tiny proportion of transactions, and an even tinier proportion of legitimate transactions, because the overwhelming majority of the time reversibility is what you want.
Back End as a Service: Security and Privacy – Eliot's Ramblings
I agree overuse of almost everything is bad. Currently, I am working with one another seasoned architect, who is very proponent of Microservices and AWS lambda on same lines as mentioned in the article. My discussion with whom has always articulated that let's do traditional portion(user management, permissions, payments, etc) in a traditional way (we are using Django so in that) and whatever tasks we have, lets do them in a microservices way.

In a traditional sense, we are implementing a system in Django that will be deployed to AWS lambda via Zappa or SAM. All, the traditional task-queue tasks will be separate microservices (lambda). So, We are implementing fusion and I personally see future in that.
No true social problem is solved by technology
I mainly read papers of second language acquisition which is an empirical science that performs language learning experiments. Often the "inspiration" for the research in newer papers stems from the results of earlier ones. The empirical results of the newer ones are, of course, not directly invalidated if there was a problem with an earlier one.

However, some of the papers tend to discuss the results in the light of the current empirical results AND the earlier empirical results ("from this result, we now see that A → B, and from the earlier results we already know that B → C, so there's some evidence that A → C"); this of course biases the discussion and may lead to wrong conclusions.

By the way, the largest problems I see in the papers are not directly "wrong" results, but like the "Chinese whispers" or "broken telephone" game. The paper A makes some assumptions and uses certain test protocol, measurements etc, and then paper B refers the result but misrepresents it slightly, which may cause overgeneralisation. A concrete example: paper A tests the learning of some phoneme with a training period and before-after test and publishes the result. Then the paper B later references the paper A mentioning that A has shown that the learners "learn" the phoneme. However, represented this way – "unqualified" – this is an overgeneralisation: the students haven't actually shown to have learned the phoneme in any other way than using the test. Indeed – other studies have shown that using certain kind of tests are generally very poorly correlated with what people usually mean by "having learnt" something – being able to use it in spontaneous communication.

Question, doesnt ITAR prevent the team from being multinational?
And microservices guarantee that every single fad is represented in a hundred different ways in every different microservice, and that there is not a single bit of consistency in the code base.

The mental overhead of that is HUGE. Every new bit of functionality you have to figure out how this microservice was built? Opening a microservice and learning what developer X did with developer Y's "I don't understand functional, but I'm damn well going to use it, and wouldn't it be great to build this in the Zebeedeee framework that trended on HN two weeks ago and then mysteriously disappeared forever".

Bad programmers are going to muck up microservices even worse than they're going to muck up monoliths.

At least with monoliths they might actually reuse some code rather than cut and paste it from the last microservice they worked on.
I was well aware of the existence of D, however I always thought of it as an extension of C++, so being more complex and more bloated.

One thing me and my teammate did in our last Clojure gig was to not shorten namespaces (with the `:as` keyword).

Instead of in this example write `[cognician.chat.dom :as dom]` just write `cognician.chat.dom`. Then when calling, use the whole namespace.

It's a tradeoff between typing a little bit more (in reality, using the autocomplete function) in exchange for having the code readable. When you read something on line 213, you don't have to scroll up to double check what that short name refers to.

Wish :as was never added to begin with.

You can make huge fundamental changes like "you cannot connect 3 stones in a row" or you cannot make a certain shape with your stones. There are 'bad' shapes in go that you learn when you're young that almost never surface in higher levels of play (of course you would make a non-bad shape illegal). You can say every 15 turns you get 2 moves in a row and they are stagged (this is game-breaking). You can ban certain josekis ('standard moves' early in the game). You can make each captured stone worth 2 points instead of 1.
