Understanding OO concepts would be helpful towards understanding REST

and a microservice (and a library) are indeed expected to encapsulate 😃

@redpillavatar hm, I'd say that one might be more comfortable with REST coming from a (purely or otherwise) functional background

I only do OO programming. Ravioli code

basically REST says "use HTTP verbs for actions, and make your service a pure function of the request"

in my limited understanding, anyway

there's a whole PhD thesis on REST, so presumably there's a little more to it

😄

right, that's the one I meant. I at least skimmed a couple of years ago.

Is everyone here in IT or what

Surprised the IT sector isn't 100% Indian by now

There were a bunch of Indians at my last jerb, all IT. What's funny is that they're pee-shy

If you stand at the urinal next to them

They will wait for you to leave first

Before peeing

there's this: http://www.rozinskiy.com/why-india-outsourcing-is-doomed/

also lol

Indians made a version of C++ which had Indian words instead of English in the 1980's

or maybe 1990's

@spaceplacenta H1B and L1B visa exploitation is on the chopping block, so that trend will likely reverse itself.

Yeah. I was just thinking about that

@HeimatFreiheitTradition AGREED ON INDIA OUTSOURCING

COSTS ARE LOWER UNTIL YOU ADD UP SECONDARY COSTS

BUT THEN AGAIN, GLOBALISM IS DEAD

SORRY FOR FLAKY PRESENCE

EVIL NEVER RESTS

Is globalism not just an effect of capitalist snowballing?

Genuine question

Capitalism still lives, so why will globalism die?

Globalism in certain cases is very capitalist. However, it may be right to think about it as the battle between the primary beneficiaries of capitalism, vs national interests. And, in certain cases, exploitation of labor laws here in the US.

When I say capitalist snowballing, I mean that it has snowballed beyond national borders

Just like it can snowball into a monopoly or oligarchy within a border, because those at the top control the market's evolution, for example by buying patents to superior products and not using them, the same can happen at a global level

This benefits no country, but it benefits some corporations that are not bound to a country

wealthy elites that move labor to the cheapest destination, the use "Dutch Sandwiches" lower their labor costs, and taxation
