I'm curious, is there a reason to avoid using .NET for web services deployed on *nix? I'm interested in using it, I love .NET as a platform, I just have this vague sense of worry that I can't quite rationalize. Mostly based o

With RoR it's pretty much in the description. Monolithic web apps with relatively standard and simple domain logic (i.e. CRUD). Lots of presentation code (HTML templates, handling of static assets and what not). Go is for writing small

This is not a change in Apple's policies, it's a fluke. The reviewer is interpreting the rule incorrectly. The rule is intended to avoid descriptions which refer to future plans for alternative platform support, or different port

Odd. RoR and Go address entirely different app domains. The only thing that connects them is that RoR was trendy yesterday, and Go is trendy today. If this is the rationale for replacement, the author will be writing plenty of "replaci

One'd hope that the "values of modern society" have enough capacity to accommodate both ambition and relationships. Painting ambition in negative tone and putting too much focus on relationships causes the same myopia that

You have a somewhat naive view about how our moral compass moves as a straight lines from bad to good. Before the Nazis performed experiments on humans, it was considered horrible to perform experiments on humans. What Nazis had that allo

The statelessness relates to communication state. A client can hold state and it most certainly will hold state (consider your browser: open tabs with URLs, bookmarks, local browser cache; form autocompletion; settings; all of this is &

I'm afraid we're not in a dramatic agreement. You point to an exception which REST allows to claim the exception is RESTful. The exception is there for practical reasons and it doesn't satisfy REST's constraints nor bene

by BringTheTanks 11y ago
I know which phrase you're referring to, but if you read it in context, it's apparent this is an exception case, because the very same section talks about cacheable, stateless requests and responses. All of REST's constraints
16.
by BringTheTanks 11y ago
My premise is that HTTPs-only and REST have opposing constraints. You have not demonstrated any flaws in it, REST says communication is stateless and cacheable except for acknowledging some select minority cases when it's not the case.

Let's quote from section 5.2.2: "All REST interactions are stateless. That is, each request contains all of the information necessary for a connector to understand the request, independent of any requests that may have preceded it

by BringTheTanks 11y ago
"HTTPS-only" goes directly against the architectural principles laid out in "REST", where intermediaries should be able to understand (in a limited sense) the request and responses that pass through, do caching, differen

It can't work them out because you compose the query in a third party scripting language. RethinkDB has no access to the structure of the source in order to analyze it statically and work out an optimal I/O read plan. It interacts

Asking "why" is a sign of curiosity, a desire to gain insight from the experience of those who are, apparently, willing to share it with us. Using fashionable tech X is not bad on its own. But without the "why" we have n
