Car voice assistants do this, but they're still clunky and it takes them forever to list their options. Voice interfaces just like CLI suffer from extremely bad discoverability and presentation compared to GUIs and thus will always be

Certainly you can build a server-side rendered web application without a strict separation between frontend and backend and you absolutely should do so if you can. The common separation in frontend and backend microservice is only because J

Nowadays you separate service by business capability and not by "layer". Layers just lead to a dependencies and dependencies lead to bad reliability and terrible development speed.

The goal is to get rid of discrimination, not to balance the statistic of arbitrary identitarian classes. Affirmative action does exactly the opposite.

I was thinking more about text, but youtube indeed still has a surprising amount of good content if you know where to look, though even the hobbyists cater heavily to the algorithm.

Unfortunately, even simple undergraduate proofs can be monumentally difficult or even impossible to translate into a type theory due to inherent limitations of the theory or the type checker.

The important advantage is that you can scale parts of the "macroservice" independently when they're microservices. You can isolate stateful stuff into one microservice and then it is much easier to scale the other microservi

Who will maintain it though? It's true that Lightbend is doing almost all of the development. There is no one else who knows the code base and no one willing to learn it, since Akka is pretty uncool nowadays.
