I stumbled upon this book over the weekend and I'm staying up way too late reading it.
It's an O'Reilly book, Building Microservices with ASP.NET Core[^]( amazon link).
This book is really good for a number of reasons.
1. great introduction to .NET Core - I've done a little with .NET Core but this is making more of it solidify.
2. Very current - It's just been published in Sept 2017
3. I've been wanting a book on MicroServices but something that walks me through building good code examples and this has that too.
4. Learning microsservices allows me to learn some new architectural concepts.
5. The book is written really well too so it is a fast read.
6. Microservices are implemented in Docker so I'll finally wrestle with that a bit too.
Anyone Else?
Has anyone else stumbled upon this new offering? It's really quite good.
Also, here's a quote from the book which is also probably why I like the book and author's philosophy so much:
Author, Kevin Hoffman said: However, I want to show just how small the gap is from a console “hello world” to a web-based “hello world” without using any templates or scaffolding. My opinion is that templates, scaffolding, and wizards should be useful, but if your framework requires these things then it has too high a complexity burden. One of my favorite rules of thumb is:
However inconvenient, if you cannot build your entire app with a simple text editor and command-line tools, then you’re using the wrong framework.

The author makes a rather radical statement which isn't and shouldn't be true for all cases, but I do understand where he's coming from on this.
I've been waiting for that book to come out, but lost track due to working too much  , so thanks for the reminder!

I agree but it is interesting too that this is part of the .NET Core philosophy too and I like the idea of managing frameworks.

Sounds like the CTO I used to work for. To quote Star Trek VI:
Let us redefine progress to mean that just because we can do a thing, it does not necessarily mean we must do that thing.
However, I do appreciate the KISS principle.

Yeah, that's the principle i'm really focusing on in the rather extreme statement.
I know that some people can be extreme with certain views.
It's just with the proliferation of JS libraries, package managers, CI tooling and all that, it seems like simple projects have so many technologies and libraries underneath them that it buries the project itself at times.
Of course, it is all a balance, because if a specific library gets you to the right place then it is worth it.

When I bring my work laptop back from sleep/screen saver lock, the one with every antiV and malware tool sold by man installed, Edge opens Bing and does a search on some travel destination, last week it was Iceland, this week it is the Maldives.
Has anyone else seen this behavior?

About a year ago, I installed some S/W and after that edge (and chrome) home pages was changed. Every time I opened a new browsing session, a tab would already be there.
Went to the internet for help and removed the software finally.
It's good now.

Possibly you are clicking on something on the image.

Its because you are clicking on the center of the screen which has the link with the details of image of the day (Windows Spotlight lockscreen image).

Yah that will be it, I usually just bang on the rat but I notice it does not work every time, clicking the center works every time.

All Edge behaviour is weird: it even thinks it's a browser, on the rare occasions when it isn't happy as an advert generation system...

When I first moved to where I live now, my neighbours had 4 young children.
As of yesterday, 3 of them are married with the youngest one in college.
While I am very happy for Luke and Morgan (married yesterday), instead of seeing a 6' 4" man, in my minds eye I still see a young child with his sister putting ice cubes on their driveway to see which one melts first.
As a child, I didn't believe people when they said time flies; now, it seems to be travelling faster than the speed of light.

I know the feeling - when we moved in, the kid next door was teething.
Now he's taller than me, and on the rare occasions he stops moving you can watch him grow...

I think that's one of the harder things about being a parent -- the constant readjustment needed when seeing you kid. From their perspective it must be weird too as they grow up and their perception of you as a parent changes.

It is even more dramatic being a grandfather seeing one set of kids every 6 months and the other once a year. It feels like one of those stop motion shows where someone has removed half the cards.

My next door neighbor (70+) has seen my children grow. He requests status updates when we meet at the fence (usually doing yard work)...
Seems like yesterday I helped deliver my daughter, yesterday, I walked her down the "aisle" and trusted her life to a fine young man.
<sniff> it just hit me again.

You raised an interesting idea, whether it was intentional or not.
According to Google (well, NASA), "...space and time are really aspects of same thing--space-time. There's a speed limit of 300,000 kilometers per second (or 186,000 miles per second) for anything that travels through space-time, and light always travels the speed limit through empty space."
In other words, to get back to your observation, time and light would actually travel at the same speed.
How's that for hijacking a thread?
But yeah...I know exactly what you mean. My sister's ex is 6' tall, and my nephew's taller than I am at the age of 13.

SUNRISE SUNSET tells it all. 
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Once upon a time, in my youth and ignorance, I actually enjoyed that scene. Now, it just reminds me of the carnage caused by private banks (e.g. Federal Reserve) and the cause of most major conflicts today.
