Caching at the architecture level has caused more problems than it has solved. How many times have you heard the phrase "empty your cache, then try again..". Utterly stupid. This is an optimisation that should be implemented by the applicat

It will still be hideously slow on the first run due to overheads.

So what you're admitting is that REST doesn't add any new novelties in terms of being discoverable?

I am not interested in what Alan Kay has to say. I asserted that you specified a bunch of design constraints. You did. You tried to counter by pointing out that it's just OO design. However, I'm not interested in arguing over what categorie

I don't see any reason why SOAP can't support dynamically changing sets of procedure calls. Furthermore, I think that is a bad idea since it will break backward compatibility. No amount of web-buzzwording will get around that problem.

Using REST over a real network is not equivalent to object-oriented programming. Don't be asinine.

You put XML and REST in different categories. So what? They are both attempts to provide systems interoperability for a huge domain. What we go out of XML: some ability to browse the format with standard tools, and some human-readability .

Are you saying SOAP won't tell you it doesn't understand if you send a bad message?

Except HTTP hasn't proven itself, except to a growing set of specialist programmers who don't know any better. The web is hideously unreliable. People have become accustomed to reclicking links and reloading pages. Aside from hyperlinks, th

You just described a bunch of design constraints. The basic OS facilities and the design of the Internet already make some design decisions for you. REST is adding more. That is designing things up front. People said the same thing about XM

This just sounds like a repeat of XML and similar debacles, where people tried to address design decisions outside the problem domain. XML is no more interoperable than a well-documented binary protocol. I'm sure REST is great for some appl

Let's not forget about the browser vendors who, instead of providing a sensible layered operating environment for web applications, foist a ridiculously high-level API for development upon programmers. Javascript and the DOM are not suitabl

You can assert that the government "has to" do these things, but I do not believe you can substantiate that point. I don't think NNT can prove that things would be better without government intervention, either. However, there is an importa

There is disagreement about what steps central banks and others should take to control the economy. NNT thinks the Federal Reserve is incompetent, for example. I don't know whether he's right or not, but the point of view being expressed is

You have misinterpreted this completely. The linked PDF doesn't mention fiat currency once. NNT says a lot of bullshit, but it's amazing how willing people are to comment without even reading the paper and taking some time to reflect upon i

Taleb would call you a "nerd". I think he'd be right. edit: FWIW he'd probably say the same about me.

You've missed his point. He's not arguing that people should not assess their confidence before investing. He's arguing that the government should not need to prop up confidence. The comparison to Ponzi schemes is because he believes (right

The problem with JavaScript targets is not the terminology, but how bad the design of the whole web stack is. It's like watching people badly redesign operating systems in the browser, every so often catching up to something that was solved
