I guess what I’m saying is that I think things will generally stay balanced the way they are. Monoliths are never going to completely die out, and neither are microservices.

They both serve different functions, so there’s no reason to think one will “win” over the other.

I mean, if anything, I would say microservices are the present.

As assaultpotato said, horses for courses, but I mean, microservices aren’t really a new concept at this point.

It’s called the linguini effect.

Got the Nidhogg up in here.

Do people really talk about their metabolism that much? Or are some people just so self-conscious about their weight and eating habits that they place particular weight on those comments such that they appear to be more frequent than they actually are?

“Turing Completeness” != “Turing Test”

I assume this is a joke?

Damn it, we lost him again. You win this time, Froggo, but one day you’ll pay for what you’ve done.

Sorry.

I don’t do this very often, but when you see Garfield sucking on John’s toes… how do you not?

Tbf people say this about a lot of things the Republicans do.

Those are two very fair points - I agree.

I’m not sure I understand what you mean.

For an API there should always be a version parameter/endpoint, imho.

Edit for further context: Ideally, a parameter.

Make more money that way.

The biggest reason for me is that it’s less data to send over a network. Especially when I’m working with lists of objects, including null fields can add a noticeable chunk to the payload.

There are some cases where it might be worth it to differentiate “No value” and “No attribute”, but in most cases they can be treated the same, since the data should really be validated against a schema anyway.

Yeah, I’m also confused. If an attribute is null, I would prefer to simply not serialize it.

I’m sure there are edge cases where someone might prefer to include null attributes, but generally they should be treated the same either way.

I say we ditch this nonsense altogether and go back to vague descriptions of the Sun’s position in the sky.

Ngl I love programming assembly, that game seems right up my alley.

Oh hey, I think I’m the guy from that post! Lol

Glad you’re enjoying it! I’ve been having a lot of fun with it too - even if my wife sometimes thinks I’m crazy when I “just quickly run over here” to check the hours for this place, haha.

My “Global Rank” is a bit over 5000, but I’m not sure if that’s the same number as you’re looking at, given the range. 400th in Canada, though!
