What will become obsolete first: a language or a deployment type?

In the new article “Java and C# are Obsolete in the Age of Docker” Erik Engheim states: “Languages running on virtual machines were developed to make deployment on any platform easy. But this ability no longer matters when your software runs in a container.” He apologizes saying he does not mean “there is no point in learning Java or C# anymore” but still pushes a language like Go as their natural replacement.

Why a YouTube Chat About Chess Got Flagged for Hate Speech

This WIRED article talks about shortcomings in AI programs designed to automatically detect hate speech, abuse, and misinformation online.

The black king is gonna fall… ” was judged more than 60 percent likely to be hate speech. “Fundamentally, language is still a very subtle thing,” says Tom Mitchell, a CMU professor. “These kinds of trained classifiers are not soon going to be 100 percent accurate.” Link

Microservices Design – API Gateway Pattern

Decision Microservices and Serverless Architecture quickly become the de-facto approach for many modern decision-making applications.  “The goal of the microservices is to sufficiently decompose/decouple the application into loosely coupled microservices/modules in contrast to monolithic applications where modules are highly coupled and deployed as a single big chunk.”  Link
