Exactly.

But only if we consider a shape and its reflection as a single shape.

> A microservice is an application with an API and a database that only that service can access.

Of course, soon you'll find that you need to "join" the data from different services, and you'll start suffering and asking what is the microservice-orthodox way of dealing with that.
At that point you'll learn that that dogma (a database for each microservice) is actually not writen in stone

(and at that point you'll start losing your faith and questioning what is all this about, perhaps).

javascript.info is nice.

But I heartly recommend these other two:

JavaScript for impatient programmers and Eloquent JavaScript

They are moving to Gitlab, not Github. Read TFA

Well, for one thing, it is made more similar to the `l` (el) letter, a big step towards confusion that surely most programmers will love.

Uh... what? https://docs.oracle.com/javase...

would be why I still choose to read Slashdot instead of ... anything else.

Could we stop having Dice articles submitted by Nerval's Lobster? Why not fully disclose that the story was submitted by the corporate parent of Slashdot?

Another user, in the same thread, had speculated:

What comes next, a thread on "is Emacs better than Vi"?

No, sir, you were utterly wrong. It came "Postgresql is better than Mysql".

By using the LPT port and a special (but not too rare or expensive) cable, you can transfer at about 50Kb/s If you can at least copy/software from a diskette, you could try with Total Commander, which has a Win 3.1 version (1.5Mb), and which include that functionality, very easy to use.

All That Cloud: Amazon, Google App Engine, Windows Azure, Heroku, Jelastic

Sounds clever, but it's plainly false.

C, Java, C# are among the most used languages today. Very few serious programmers will say that they are stupid or awful. And, many criticisms aside, most programmers respect them - even love them. I program in all these languages, I like them all, and I hate PHP with passion. It's not an issue of popularity; PHP, its community, its history, all of it, is a tale of terror.

Obligatory condescending-meme link http://zipmeme.com/meme/25624/ But, yes, and also closed mine and never regretted it.

There is something called "shared web hosting".

There's also a carrousel horse.
