arc33··on Elasticsearch is a great example of a modern monolithic application
> A typical ELK deployment has logstash and kibana as well.

Now that we have tools like docker-compose, would it not be possible to spin up all the dependency apps in a single command, so as to preserve the character of a monolithic app?

arc33··on Understanding Recursion as an Absolute Beginner
I think the simplest way to understand recursion is as a for loop where you use the stack as the counter.

Recursion is basically implementing the operations of a repetitive loop but the loop controls are not explicit like in a for loop, instead you use the stack as the counter of the loop.

Once you think of recursion as just another way to do for loops, it immediately is demystified.

> XML is awful

I never really understood this. This seems to be an oft repeated truism from mid 2000s with little backing it up.

The only awesome thing that JSON did, was lose type information as well. In fact, the only thing that I can see that JSON brought to the table was easier editing by those who didn't have IDEs, at the expense of losing type information.
