Leveraging Diversity to Enhance Cybersecurity
How can we ensure there is a diverse mindset applied to cybersecurity? By including non-technical people, those from non-traditional backgrounds, and being intentional about avoiding herd mentality. If we as an industry proclaim security as a best practice, we must equally ensure diversity to ensure we have most effectively mitigated the risks that abound.

Consistency, Coupling, and Complexity at the Edge
Successful use of a microservices architecture requires maintaining a clear separation of concerns in the various layers and by employing design principles best suited to each layer. While RESTful API design has become the standard for microservices, it can cause problems at the UI layer. Alternatives such as the Backend-for-Frontend pattern using GraphQL can provide better separation of concerns.

Turning Microservices Inside-Out
Turning microservices inside-out means moving past a single, request/response API to designing microservices with an inbound API for queries and commands, an outbound APIs to emit events, and a meta API to describe them both. A database can be supplemented with Apache Kafka via a connecting tissue such as Debezium.

The Excel Formula Language Is Now Turing-Complete
The Excel team announced LAMBDA, a new feature that lets users define and name formula functions. LAMBDA functions admit parameters, can call other LAMBDA functions and recursively call themselves. With LAMBDA, the Excel formula language is Turing-complete: user-defined functions can thus compute anything without resorting to imperative languages (e.g., VBA, JavaScript).
