In other news, the world's leading professors of Everything finally figure out what happened during the industrial revolution.

Google is officially launching its so-called AMP for Email project into general availability today, allowing companies to give their emails a more engaging and interactive web-like experience. Because we never learn

I can't even remember what AMP is -- so it's pretty obvious that it will make a huge difference to my lifestyle.

Almost 20 years ago, an email titled "I LOVE YOU" had a great impact worldwide.
With such great new dynamic emails, the next wave is about to start soon.
For those who don't remember the incident or were too young at that time: there's a Wikipedia article on that topic ILOVEYOU - Wikipedia[^] Quote: The ILOVEYOU Script (the attachment) was written in Microsoft Visual Basic Scripting (VBS) which runs in Microsoft Outlook and was enabled by default.
Oh sanctissimi Wilhelmus, Theodorus, et Fredericus!

Back than you had to have a Windows OS with Outlook to be harmed. This new and improved technology can do it in a platform/software independent way...

So your email now becomes a web page? Great! I can't see what could go wrong with that...

New data shows a pretty obvious trend: the acceleration of serverless adoption. Make sure you consider the pros and cons There are servers?
I figured I'd add this for those attempting the challenge

So, "cloud computing" is now called "serverless"?
Seems to me they're missing the obvious point - there's a server somewhere, so pendantically speaking, it's NOT serverless. It's just that you now have no direct control or input over how it's configured, secured, used, or shared. How in the actual f*ck is that a good thing?

So we're in the process of moving our apps to "the cloud" a serverless environment, including development of said apps. For the cited article, this fills me with trepidation:
Quote: Serverless is fine for new applications, but porting applications to serverless systems can be hugely laborious and risky. This is so often the case that I find it’s usually better to start from scratch than to port something that won’t fit into a serverless framework.
We're about to stuff 10 pounds of ancient crapplications into a 5-pound serverless sock.
What? Use ASP.Net Core you say? Well, we can't, because our apps are all ASP.Net Web Forms, and we're still using VS2015 because VS2017 hasn't been added to the "approved software list", and we can't use the latest .Net Core because you need VS2019, and well, that's not on the "approved software list" either.
There is no amount of "hope and pray" that will deviate us from the inevitable continuation of our death march down the path of ruin, failure, and decay.

There is a nice guy sitting next door and swearing constantly in French... He was called in to examine the possible adaptation of our main application to Azure...
If you didn't designed your application from the first step to run on cloud/serverless platform you are in big trouble... Actually such move is actually rewriting the application...

Swift 5 is a major milestone in the evolution of the language. Thanks to ABI stability, the Swift runtime is now included in current and future versions of Apple’s platform operating systems: macOS, iOS, tvOS and watchOS. That was fast (I didn't even have time to not look at version 4)
But still, it's not Objective-C

I want to take over their marketing for them, now that they haven't got Jobs to hold their little hands.
How's this for an opening salvo:

The much-criticized ‘upload filter’ and ‘link tax’ will soon become law in EU nations This law (c) 2019
And they killed Daylight Saving Time? So I don’t have to remember that thing about falling forward (or is it back?) anymore?

By 2021, so you may still have to spring forward and fall back at least twice more, depending on when your country stops doing it.
There's proposed legislation in Texas for the same thing, and I hope it passes.

Wasn't the Texas one to *stay on* DST? Or was that somewhere else (too lazy to Google this morning).

Just out of curiosity, how will CP handle the link tax? Will CP pay the tax or will no longer be available in the EU?

The solution is for CP to simply ignore the EU. That someone in the EU can access a web site residing outside the EU doesn't give the EU legal authority over that web site.

True, but the EU can block said website. We have a lot of members in the EU. It would be a shame if they couldn't access the site any longer. I know a VPN could be used; however, it's only a matter of time before they become illegal (in the EU). How else would the EU enforce such policies?
