Cats, Qubits, and Teleportation: The Spooky World of Quantum Algorithms (Part 2)
Quantum information theory really took off once people noticed that the computational complexity of quantum systems was actually a computational capacity, which could be applied to other problems, such as factorization, which is used within public key cryptography. This article explores quantum algorithms and their applicability.

How BuzzFeed Migrated from a Perl Monolith to Go and Python Microservices
Starting in 2016 BuzzFeed began a re-architecture project moving from a single monolithic application written in Perl to a set of microservices. The main reason for the move was that the Perl application was proving hard to scale, essential given that buzzfeed.com alone serves about 7 billion page views/month.

Can People Trust the Automated Decisions Made by Algorithms?
The use of automated decision making is increasing. These algorithms can produce results that are incomprehensible, or socially undesirable. How can we determine the safety of algorithms in devices if we cannot understand them? Public fears about the inability to foresee adverse consequences has impeded technologies such as nuclear energy and genetically modified crops.

Default Interface Methods in C# 8
Default interface methods are included in a new feature proposal for C# 8, which will allow developers to use the traits programming technique. Based on an existing language feature found in Java, traits are an OOP technology that promotes the reuse of methods between unrelated classes.

How Technology Is Impacting the Future of Work through Fragmentation
One of the side effects of technology’s evolution is that it fragments existing architectures and creates new structures in the process. AI and Blockchain are currently doing this, but this pattern has been seen before and will continue as tech evolves. According to Kary Bheemaiah, fragmentation is impacting the future of work; it’s a tech-lead reality to be observed and leveraged when possible.
