Hi there! I looooove your soa au so much that i decided to do their house + workshop on skeychup (architecture program) , so i was wondering if you could give us some more detail on how the house is, i was specially interested if te duplex is just house with two floors or like a literal duplex like the apartaments with half a floor on top of the first one,

thank you so muchhhhh <333

KDAKDLDOADHSDAKSD

oh my goodness!!! I'm so honored!!!

So here's the basic layout that I've used.

except that the shop is 2 stories (with windows) and has a small entrance as well for the office and then through there up to the second floor (where the Justice League is based).

and where the little house is I think of something like this

small prewar, two entrances with a porch. the bottom unit that is only on the bottom is a 3 bedroom/1 bath while the upstairs where Alfred lives is a 1 bedroom/1 bath.

The area around them is very dense, with no single-family homes. They have very little non-pavement like the top pic and that little greenspace has a garden.

These are both examples from the Twin Cities. I know it's not Gotham but I use them as inspiration.

What does it mean to erase a people – a nation, culture, identity? In Gaza, we are beginning to find out

“Earlier this month, Gaza’s oldest mosque was destroyed by Israeli airstrikes. The Omari mosque was originally a fifth century Byzantine church, and was an iconic landmark of Gaza: 44,000 sq ft of history, architecture and cultural heritage. But it was also a live site of contemporary practice and worship. A 45-year-old Gazan told Reuters that he had been ‘praying there and playing around it all through my childhood‘. Israel, he said, is ‘trying to wipe out our memories’.

“St Porphyrius church, the oldest in Gaza, also dating back to the fifth century and believed to be the third oldest church in the world, was damaged in another strike in October. It was sheltering displaced people, among them members of the oldest Christian community in the world, one that dates back to the first century. So far, more than 100 heritage sites in Gaza have been damaged or levelled. Among them are a 2,000-year-old Roman cemetery and the Rafah Museum, which was dedicated to the region’s long and mixed religious and architectural heritage.

“As the past is being uprooted, the future is also being curtailed. The Islamic University of Gaza, the first higher education institution established in the Gaza Strip in 1978, and which trains, among others, Gaza’s doctors and engineers, has been destroyed, along with more than 200 schools. Sufian Tayeh, the rector of the university, was killed along with his family in an airstrike. He was the Unesco chair of physical, astrophysical and space sciences in Palestine. Other high-profile academics who have been killed include the microbiologist Dr Muhammad Eid Shabir, and the prominent poet and writer Dr Refaat Alareer, whose poem, If I must die, was widely shared after his death ...

“As the ability to tell these stories publicly comes under attack, so do the private rituals of mourning and memorialisation. According to a New York Times investigation, Israel ground forces are bulldozing cemeteries in their advance on the Gaza Strip, destroying at least six. Ahmed Masoud, a British Palestinian writer from Gaza, posted a picture of him visiting his father’s grave, alongside a video of its ruins. ‘This is the graveyard in Jabalia camp,’ he wrote, where his father was buried. ‘I went to visit him in May. The Israeli tanks have now destroyed it, and my dad’s grave has gone. I won’t be able to visit or talk to him again.’

“A memory gap is forming. Libraries and museums are being levelled, and what is lost in the documents that have burned joins a larger toll of record-keeping. Meanwhile, the scale of the killings is so large that entire extended families are disappearing. The result is like tearing pages out of a book. Dina Matar, a professor at Soas University of London, told the Financial Times that ‘such loss results in the erasure of shared memories and identities for those who survive. Remembering matters. These are important elements when you want to put together histories and stories of ordinary lives’ ...

“This is what it would look like, to erase a people. In short, to void the architecture of belonging that we all take so much for granted so that, no matter how many Gazans survive, there is, over time, less and less to bind them together into a valid whole. This is what it would look like, when you deprive them of telling their story, of producing their art, of sharing in music, song and poetry, and of a foundational history that lives in their landmarks, mosques, churches, and even in their graves.”

Chapter 20

That escalated quickly. Everything turned into a mess in seconds.

Hetnys was the one responsible for the human trafficking and she decided to act incredibly rashly and against Breq. Having been named a captain over a sword ship apparently went to her head and she thought she was invincible.

There's a brief action scene that results in not only the lake with the foreshadowed dangerous architecture breaks but the dome keeping the coldness of space away also gets a hole in it. Station and Breq's people do the best they can to save people, but the damage to the Undergarden is yet to be revealed.

Then just as Breq fears she plus everyone else in the action scene, including Basnaaid, are going to die Mercy of Kalr shows up with Seivarden and they save the day. On the ship Breq has a conversation with SoA and it looks like they'll be enemies. However, right after Breq reveals that she's actually Justice of Toren to everyone present including SoA so there's still a slim hope the two might become friends one day. This information obviously stuns everyone and there will probably be a lot of questions later, but now they got a moment to patch themselves up. They also deserve some rest because I have a feeling they'll be working double later when dealing with the aftereffects of this confrontation.

I also hope they explain why Mercy of Kalr didn't respond at all to Breq during the crisis. I guess it was dealing with SoA at the same time but still. It never seemed to have trouble multitasking before.

Only one chapter left!!

[skaruresonic]

I think SoA created the whole Mobius shtick to explain why Sonic's world is so weird (complete with loop de loop architecture, ) and anthrons exist. Because apparently little kids would be too stupid to understand an earth where loop de loop roads , checkerboard hills and sentient Animal-People exist .

Wasn't the name "Mobius" itself based on some misunderstanding or mistranslation? I vaguely recall that it might have had to do with the Mobius strips seen in Sonic 2.

I would think the Adventure games would have settled a lot of these matters. They established that the planet is called Earth, humans and anthros coexist on it with seemingly little to no tension, that money and capitalism and economies exist, that governments exist, and that even though his family name is "Robotnik" he reclaimed the moniker of "Eggman." The games are fairly straightforward about these developments as well, so it's not too hard to understand.

Like, the games don't really contradict each other, they just shed more light on things that weren't previously known. Archie, by contrast, had to twist its own canon into a Gordian knot when Sonic Adventure forced it to admit that humans still existed even though by that point the book had spent years establishing that most humans were a "new" species of four-fingered mutants called Overlander... and that anthros had gone to war against them as a critical part of its backstory.

The Role of Microservices In Modern Software Architecture

Are you ready to dive into the exciting world of microservices and discover how they are revolutionizing modern software architecture? In today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, businesses are constantly seeking ways to build more scalable, flexible, and resilient applications. Enter microservices – a groundbreaking approach that allows developers to break down monolithic systems into smaller, independent components. Join us as we unravel the role of microservices in shaping the future of software design and explore their immense potential for transforming your organization’s technology stack. Buckle up for an enlightening journey through the intricacies of this game-changing architectural style!

Introduction To Microservices And Software Architecture

In today’s rapidly evolving technological landscape, software architecture has become a crucial aspect for businesses looking to stay competitive. As companies strive for faster delivery of high-quality software, the traditional monolithic architecture has proved to be limiting and inefficient. This is where microservices come into play.

Microservices are an architectural approach that involves breaking down large, complex applications into smaller, independent services that can communicate with each other through APIs. These services are self-contained and can be deployed and updated independently without affecting the entire application.

Software architecture on the other hand, refers to the overall design of a software system including its components, relationships between them, and their interactions. It provides a blueprint for building scalable, maintainable and robust applications.

So how do microservices fit into the world of software architecture? Let’s delve deeper into this topic by understanding the fundamentals of both microservices and software architecture.

As mentioned earlier, microservices are small independent services that work together to form a larger application. Each service performs a specific business function and runs as an autonomous process. These services can be developed in different programming languages or frameworks based on what best suits their purpose.

The concept of microservices originated from Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA). However, unlike SOA which tends to have larger services with complex interconnections, microservices follow the principle of single responsibility – meaning each service should only perform one task or function.

Evolution Of Software Architecture: From Monolithic To Microservices

Software architecture has evolved significantly over the years, from traditional monolithic architectures to more modern and agile microservices architectures. This evolution has been driven by the need for more flexible, scalable, and efficient software systems. In this section, we will explore the journey of software architecture from monolithic to microservices and how it has transformed the way modern software is built.

Monolithic Architecture:

In a monolithic architecture, all components of an application are tightly coupled together into a single codebase. This means that any changes made to one part of the code can potentially impact other parts of the application. Monolithic applications are usually large and complex, making them difficult to maintain and scale.

One of the main drawbacks of monolithic architecture is its lack of flexibility. The entire application needs to be redeployed whenever a change or update is made, which can result in downtime and disruption for users. This makes it challenging for businesses to respond quickly to changing market needs.

The Rise of Microservices:

To overcome these limitations, software architects started exploring new ways of building applications that were more flexible and scalable. Microservices emerged as a solution to these challenges in software development.

Microservices architecture decomposes an application into smaller independent services that communicate with each other through well-defined APIs. Each service is responsible for a specific business function or feature and can be developed, deployed, and scaled independently without affecting other services.

Advantages Of Using Microservices In Modern Software Development

Microservices have gained immense popularity in recent years, and for good reason. They offer numerous advantages over traditional monolithic software development approaches, making them a highly sought-after approach in modern software architecture.

1. Scalability: One of the key advantages of using microservices is their ability to scale independently. In a monolithic system, any changes or updates made to one component can potentially affect the entire application, making it difficult to scale specific functionalities as needed. However, with microservices, each service is developed and deployed independently, allowing for easier scalability and flexibility.

2. Improved Fault Isolation: In a monolithic architecture, a single error or bug can bring down the entire system. This makes troubleshooting and debugging a time-consuming and challenging process. With microservices, each service operates independently from others, which means that if one service fails or experiences issues, it will not impact the functioning of other services. This enables developers to quickly identify and resolve issues without affecting the overall system.

3. Faster Development: Microservices promote faster development cycles because they allow developers to work on different services concurrently without disrupting each other’s work. Moreover, since services are smaller in size compared to monoliths, they are easier to understand and maintain which results in reduced development time.

4. Technology Diversity: Monolithic systems often rely on a single technology stack for all components of the application. This can be limiting when new technologies emerge or when certain functionalities require specialized tools or languages that may not be compatible with the existing stack. In contrast, microservices allow for a diverse range of technologies to be used for different services, providing more flexibility and adaptability.

5. Easy Deployment: Microservices are designed to be deployed independently, which means that updates or changes to one service can be rolled out without affecting the entire system. This makes deployments faster and less risky compared to monolithic architectures, where any changes require the entire application to be redeployed.

6. Better Fault Tolerance: In a monolithic architecture, a single point of failure can bring down the entire system. With microservices, failures are isolated to individual services, which means that even if one service fails, the rest of the system can continue functioning. This improves overall fault tolerance in the application.

7. Improved Team Productivity: Microservices promote a modular approach to software development, allowing teams to work on specific services without needing to understand every aspect of the application. This leads to improved productivity as developers can focus on their areas of expertise and make independent decisions about their service without worrying about how it will affect other parts of the system.

Challenges And Limitations Of Microservices

As with any technology or approach, there are both challenges and limitations to implementing microservices in modern software architecture. While the benefits of this architectural style are numerous, it is important to be aware of these potential obstacles in order to effectively navigate them.

1. Complexity: One of the main challenges of microservices is their inherent complexity. When a system is broken down into smaller, independent services, it becomes more difficult to manage and understand as a whole. This can lead to increased overhead and maintenance costs, as well as potential performance issues if not properly designed and implemented.

2. Distributed Systems Management: Microservices by nature are distributed systems, meaning that each service may be running on different servers or even in different geographical locations. This introduces new challenges for managing and monitoring the system as a whole. It also adds an extra layer of complexity when troubleshooting issues that span multiple services.

3. Communication Between Services: In order for microservices to function effectively, they must be able to communicate with one another seamlessly. This requires robust communication protocols and mechanisms such as APIs or messaging systems. However, setting up and maintaining these connections can be time-consuming and error-prone.

4. Data Consistency: In a traditional monolithic architecture, data consistency is relatively straightforward since all components access the same database instance. In contrast, microservices often have their own databases which can lead to data consistency issues if not carefully managed through proper synchronization techniques.

Best Practices For Implementing Microservices In Your Project

Implementing microservices in your project can bring a multitude of benefits, such as increased scalability, flexibility and faster development cycles. However, it is also important to ensure that the implementation is done correctly in order to fully reap these benefits. In this section, we will discuss some best practices for implementing microservices in your project.

1. Define clear boundaries and responsibilities: One of the key principles of microservices architecture is the idea of breaking down a larger application into smaller independent services. It is crucial to clearly define the boundaries and responsibilities of each service to avoid overlap or duplication of functionality. This can be achieved by using techniques like domain-driven design or event storming to identify distinct business domains and their respective services.

2. Choose appropriate communication protocols: Microservices communicate with each other through APIs, so it is important to carefully consider which protocols to use for these interactions. RESTful APIs are popular due to their simplicity and compatibility with different programming languages. Alternatively, you may choose messaging-based protocols like AMQP or Kafka for asynchronous communication between services.

3. Ensure fault tolerance: In a distributed system like microservices architecture, failures are inevitable. Therefore, it is important to design for fault tolerance by implementing strategies such as circuit breakers and retries. These mechanisms help prevent cascading failures and improve overall system resilience.

Real-Life Examples Of Successful Implementation Of Microservices

Microservices have gained immense popularity in recent years due to their ability to improve the scalability, flexibility, and agility of software systems. Many organizations across various industries have successfully implemented microservices architecture in their applications, resulting in significant benefits. In this section, we will explore real-life examples of successful implementation of microservices and how they have revolutionized modern software architecture.

1. Netflix: Netflix is a leading streaming service that has disrupted the entertainment industry with its vast collection of movies and TV shows. The company’s success can be attributed to its adoption of microservices architecture. Initially, Netflix had a monolithic application that was becoming difficult to scale and maintain as the user base grew rapidly. To overcome these challenges, they broke down their application into smaller independent services following the microservices approach.

Each service at Netflix has a specific function such as search, recommendations, or video playback. These services can be developed independently, enabling faster deployment and updates without affecting other parts of the system. This also allows for easier scaling based on demand by adding more instances of the required services. With microservices, Netflix has improved its uptime and performance while keeping costs low.

The Future Of Microservices In Software Architecture

The concept of microservices has been gaining traction in the world of software architecture in recent years. This approach to building applications involves breaking down a monolithic system into smaller, independent services that communicate with each other through well-defined APIs. The benefits of this architecture include increased flexibility, scalability, and resilience.

But what does the future hold for microservices? In this section, we will explore some potential developments and trends that could shape the future of microservices in software architecture.

1. Rise of Serverless Architecture

As organizations continue to move towards cloud-based solutions, serverless architecture is becoming increasingly popular. This approach eliminates the need for traditional servers and infrastructure management by allowing developers to deploy their code directly onto a cloud platform such as Amazon Web Services (AWS) or Microsoft Azure.

Microservices are a natural fit for serverless architecture as they already follow a distributed model. With serverless, each microservice can be deployed independently, making it easier to scale individual components without affecting the entire system. As serverless continues to grow in popularity, we can expect to see more widespread adoption of microservices.

2. Increased Adoption of Containerization

Containerization technology such as Docker has revolutionized how applications are deployed and managed. Containers provide an isolated environment for each service, making it easier to package and deploy them anywhere without worrying about compatibility issues.

Conclusion:

As we have seen throughout this article, microservices offer a number of benefits in terms of scalability, flexibility, and efficiency in modern software architecture. However, it is important to carefully consider whether or not the use of microservices is right for your specific project.

First and foremost, it is crucial to understand the complexity that comes with implementing a microservices architecture. While it offers many advantages, it also introduces new challenges such as increased communication overhead and the need for specialized tools and processes. Therefore, if your project does not require a high level of scalability or if you do not have a team with sufficient expertise to manage these complexities, using a monolithic architecture may be more suitable.

Every business is dependent on technology for smooth operation. The service industry in the Information Technology industry has helped several companies and individuals build excellent career. The service-based industry has its specific requirements and requires some unique features for performance improvement. Service Oriented Architecture is one of the most popular architecture used for service-oriented development. The main idea is to revolve around service betterment and different outcomes of services. SOA is often used in logical business activities and it brings together different services required to perform any given task. The SOA architecture has provisions for code reusability and offers better security measures. If you are planning to become a software architect, it is important to have an excellent understanding of the service oriented architecture. Most of the companies require an in-depth knowledge of SOA before hiring professionals for different posts. You can start learning the basics of SOA with different books available in the market. Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA): Concepts, Technology, and Design (By: Thomas Erl ) One of the best ways to understand SOA is to study different case studies and that is what exactly this book has to offer. You can learn different case studies and latest technologies that have been implemented into real world scenarios. It starts with a step-by-step explanation of service-oriented design and service-oriented analysis. You can learn about the previous architectures in the service industry and features that superimposes SOA against these architectures. The book involves logical explanation and non-technical analogies to explain difficult concepts. SOA: Principles of Service Design (By: Thomas Erl ) Service oriented industry is a different paradigm in the development industry. This book starts with an explanation of different principles and technological concepts of the SOA architecture. You will understand different aspects of SOA including service abstraction, service coupling, service autonomy, service discovery, service contracts, and service reusability. It explains crucial supporting practices, object-orientation, service orientation, and mapping service orientation for achieving the strategic goals of a system. The book covers different examples and real world problems. You can develop an analytic understanding and suitability of different SOA services in any given problem. SOA Design Patterns (Prentice Hall Service-Oriented Computing Series from Thomas ERL) (By: Thomas Erl ) The software industry has undergone multiple changes in the past two decades and this book is perfect to understand these developments. It starts with an explanation of the patterns and principles of abstractions in different SOA services. This book covers the reasons out of which SOA has emerged as the most popular architecture for enterprise systems. All the concepts are explained in a structural manner while maintaining proper context. If you are preparing for an interview for software architect, it might help to gain better insights into these concepts and explain them with proper examples. Service Design Patterns: Fundamental Design Solutions for SOAP/WSDL and RESTful Web Services (By: Robert Daigneau ) One of the core design principles of SOA architecture is to develop an architecture that can offer consistent results for a similar set of problems. You can develop an excellent understanding of important topics such as caching, authentication, logging, and validation. It explains different types of API styles and the best style for any given problem. It answers one of the most complex questions in the current development sector i.e. how to develop systems that can keep up with the evolving requirements of business logic. You develop an understanding of the use of web services by different clients and the best practices to streamline these operations. Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture

(By: Martin Fowler ) Enterprise application development is one of the quickest developing segments of SOA and this book explains important lessons about application architecture. It explains some of the most common problems faced by enterprise application developers and the solutions offered within this book are applicable to nearly every enterprise application. The first section of the book comprises of different tutorials covering the enterprise development concepts. The next part of the book offers an excellent explanation of the patterns and every pattern is accompanied with a valid example. For any professional planning to step into the software architecture, it is important to move ahead of the technologies and develop an understanding of the service-oriented architecture. Most of the developers end up with multiple challenges because of a poor understanding of software architecture. Every problem has a different solution and it might not be sufficient to learn some case studies. You need an in-depth knowledge of the SOA, which is available in this book.
