Shared database is an antipattern. Microservices can be an antipattern by themselves, btw.

Yes, I got that. But the "good parts" according to this artcle derive from where it can work like a statically typed language.

So... The answer is fundamentally "statically typed", right?

Site is down. Anyone's got a mirror/outline?

Feel free to use what you feel is good for you. But this makes a lot of sense (to me!) for simpler scripts. Imagine cron jobs or other "internal" scripts, maybe things that you lau…

eBay has no warehouse. eBay has no printing service. But I'd say that eBay should offer a fake-reporting system (which AFAIK exists) and should report users engaging in such activi…

Well, they forgot to say that five star online platform - https://rousseau.movimento5stelle.it - is a php handmade webapp with a lot of security problems. Not a good point for the …

Sort feed by date -> OK. But the setting is not retained. Terrible.

Possible, but is it a good idea? If the package is called "openjdk-11", I want JDK 11.

Jdk 10 is unsupported already.

This looked like a decent idea when the package was created, but turned into a disaster, an example of how NOT to do things.

And how is that API call performed? To whom? To my device, via a specially exposed service? Or is it part of gsm/umts/lte specs, and every packet I send back to my carrier contains…

I do not understand. That carriers have my cell location data, that seems ok. But do they get my own phone GPS data along with it? The article seems to imply that such data is sent…

Does anybody have an explanation about A-GPS? How does it work? I thought it was available to end users, I don't understand why carriers have such data.

I'm happy that 2017 is the date of the article, and not of the event.

Maybe the author has some valid points, but he/she fails to illustrate them properly. Beyond the not-so-reasonable scenario, the analysis lacks precision. "Wi-Fi credentials stored…

Not necessarily, if the private key is different for every device. What would you have done instead?

I think that the point he'd like to make (a bit clumsily, IMHO) is that we should NOT rely on SUBSCRIPTIONS only. We need more micropayments for single-shot buys. When I was younge…

As somebody who went from 240 to 180 lbs (I'm about 6 5" tall btw) and stayed there for long, the hard thing to cope with is homecooking. Once i had kids I had no more time for coo…
