It won’t get paywalled. Instead they will let it get useful then start injecting ads into it once people trust it.

Something to consider is a monolith can have different entry points and a focused area of work. Like my web application monolith can also have email workers, and background job processers all with different container specs and scaling but share a code base.

And coming from a background where I work heavily with Postgres a bunch of smaller segregates databases sound like a nightmare data integerity wise. Although I’m sure it can be done cleanly there are big advantages with having all your tables in one database.

Imo if your doing it right your monolith is also broken up into chunks that are segmented with clear defined apis and well tested (apis in this context are whatever your public functions/method/top level objects). With clean internal apis and properly segmented code it should be easy to read and do what you need.

I don’t know if I agree with the infra level. What makes you say it has advantages there?

Biggest two advantages to micro services in my mind is you can use different tools / languages for different jobs and making it easier for multiple teams to work in parallel. Two biggest disadvantages in my mind is you lose code sharing and services become more siloded to different teams which can make it more difficult to roll out changes that need multiple services updated.

There is also the messaging problem with micro services. Message passing through the network rather then in memory. (Ex calling the user_service object vs user_service micro service)

One other big disadvantage of a monolith I also can think of is build time and developer tools can struggle with them. A lot more files/objects to keep track of and it can often make for an annoying development flow.

My preference is to monolith most things and only split off something into a micro service if you really get a big benefit from another tool or language for a specific task.

And in practice micro services become a fragile mess and takes longer to develop new products due to low code share and higher complexity.

Ofc not always the case, just like large monoliths can exist without being a mess.

The one if the big reason that people are brushing over is latency. You can have a billion super computers simulator something but the latency between them will prevent you from simulating at a reasonable speed an interconnected system like a bunch of neurons.

I have personally RMAed 3 mouses for double click issues and replaced the switches in my current mouse. Hardware is bad.

I already switched to Firefox a while back. The new tracking system bullshit was the last straw. Chrome team is too busy trying to invasively track us rather then actually improving the browser for consumers.

I believe AI will eliminate the work force for most things. I know it’s wishful thinking but governments need to start preparing with UBI and other laws.

I can get total ban but why a ban on amount?

My problem with it is it’s an advertisement for a SASS service.

A person new to Linux would probably not even care or notice it.

Not really. Radios can be tuned if you’re talking about interference.

I’ll pass unless it doesn’t use Google’s shitty TV os.

Microsoft is going to be the new Google when it comes to abandoning projects. I’m upset that my headset will soon be a paper weight.

I can even still use my original ancient vive just fine but rip my G2.

I felt pretty safe when I was there. I had no issues. I’m a white guy from NYC for some context and I didn’t feel unsafe at all. I was in El Poblado for the most part.

I visited to meet a few of my World of Warcraft guild mates in person and eat a ton of Colombian food. So probably not your typical tourist experience in Medellin.

Only wish my Spanish was better… I don’t speak much and that was a challenge.

I just got back from a trip to Medellin and was surprised how big the bike scene was. Beautiful city.

Two most important things

1. Don’t leave your bike anywhere overnight.
2. Don’t make a pattern of leaving it locked up in the same place for long periods of time.

A nice lock will help a little bit but tbh if they’re determined then they will get it if you slip up and allow them the time.

Is there costs associated with this?

Clocks and Text in general. It’s like a bad ai image in my dreams.

Other then it being closed garden that isn’t indexable on the web why do you think it’s trash?

The stuff before it were not good.
