Yes, it is an app. Not a 'microservice'. That's the point.

It was not disingenuous. You complain too much while avoiding the point.

A very long comment that ignores the one it purports to reply to... Microservices are called that because they reside within an app that itself provides a service. Otherwise, of course you could call everything and anything 'microservi

Authentication is a service that is obviously used by other microservices, otherwise it would have no use. But with microservices coupling is as loose as possible. Your authentication microservice provides an interface (REST or whatever) in

Don't confuse applications and protocols with microservices. Microservices are services within an application.

It is intellectual terrorism. I am sorry but sometimes things must be called out even if the feelings of thin-skinned people are hurt. It is only 'inevitable' because no-one has cared about it and, worse because some try to downpl

Considering the current environmental issues this is not absurd at all.

Increased urbanisation is at best marginal in Western countries. This is not what is driving prices. But top places like London now attract from a global pool of billions. People need to realise that a world with 10 billion does not look li

That's very optimistic. "The median estimate for future growth sees the world population reaching 8.6 billion in 2030, 9.8 billion in 2050 and 11.2 billion by 2100" (2017) Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki

It was 74% in 1970 (50 years ago). It is not a massive change. The massive change in urbanisation is happening in developing countries. In developed countries it happened earlier and is not really a thing anymore.

In developed countries things haven't changed that much. If you look at London (since that's essentially the article), population has actually only reached back to its 1950 level. But attractive cities can now pull people and inve

Children in some countries still have no access to education, and here some people are in awe that children skip school for nothing. This is a bad joke. If they want to be taken seriously they should protest outside school hours, that'

This campaign, which is taking place in several countries, has to be one of the most idiotic I've seen recently. Stay in school, study hard, make a difference. You won't achieve anything by hurting yourself and your parents who pa

Well, a policeman on the beat or patrolling in a car is surveillance. Based on that surveillance does work. The question is rather at what level surveillance does not meaningfully reduce crime anymore but becomes a (political) control tool.

As is the case for all software, unit tests should be well designed. If a unit test fails when the code under test hasn't functionally changed then it means that your unit tests are flaky.

I think that the issue is that microservices _require_ good practices and discipline. These are attributes that 80% of projects and teams lack so when they decide to jump onto the microservices bandwagon the shit hits the fan pretty quickly

China is bad. Have I got the gospel right? Now, the _facts_ are that the policy did have a real, significant impact. And that has benefited mankind as a whole. But, OK, let's say it was useless... I cannot be said to have been disastro

The one-child policy saved China and the world. China might have hit 2 billions by now without it. The issue is that is has been too effective, especially for the level of development of the country, so that China is hitting a "first w
