You don't actually miss anything that important. But it shows a possible future for such investigation field.

Bloomberg reports that a surge in Amazon’s stock has helped propel Bezos to the top of rich list, ahead of the company’s earnings reports later today. Poor Bill. Maybe we should start a GoFundMe to help out?
Edit: Aaaaand, now he isn't anymore[^].

Amazon's price to earnings (P/E) is currently 197. That means if their earnings was $1000, their market value would be $197,000. Apple P/E is 17.4. I expect Amazon to come down to the 60 P/E range, though I expect profits will increase in the future. So Bezos' wealth is probably near its pinnacle.

Who bloody cares!? Good for him. I have no issues with this.
He will get slapped with an anti-trust lawsuit here shortly, for sure.
Oh, BTW, I have read that he is a real a-hole of a person. Perhaps that helped become rich.

Despite all the hype around digital transformations, today’s enterprises still feel they’re at risk of being left behind by their industries, according to new research from Couchbase. I thought they already fell behind, and that's why they're 'senior leaders'?

The .NET Team has been producing guidance for building microservices and container based applications, web applications and Xamarin.Forms mobile apps. Do they come in Java editions?

That's nice, but totally above the heads of where I work, which doesn't even have guidelines on namespace naming conventions.

Interesting to note the recognition by the author that there is no "desktop" guide ... yet: Quote: You might have noticed that there is an important area missing in the architecture page, right? – What do you think? You are right! – Windows Desktop Applications! – So, the Visual Studio Tools for UWP team and the Windows team are actively working on comparable guidance for desktop apps, so keep tuned for that!
I guess that means something (?)

The Lilliputian religion says an egg should be broken on the convenient end, which is now interpreted by the Lilliputians as the smaller end. Big-Endians gained favor in Blefuscu.» J.

OWL Web Language features a JavaScript-like syntax and compiles to PHP, promising more security and safety
First line of article:
PHP has been a staple of server-side web development for years. Now, a developer from Netflix is building a variation on the language that offers “the good parts” while purporting to be easier to use and more secure.
OWL: A 'better' PHP for single-server apps | InfoWorld[^]
EDIT: Wait...what's a single-server app? Who wrote this article? Did writer mean Single Page App?
from the article:
Called OWL, for OWL Web Language*, the language features a JavaScript-like syntax and compiles to PHP.
*What? a looping acronym? Where's the 'O' come from? 
Every dev's dream: JavaScript syntax that compiles to PHP.

Wasn't there something in one of the Borland languages called OWL?
I do remember all the class names starting "OWL" which made for some really silly names.

Yeah, I think it was like Object Window Library or some nonsense like that.
It was the rival to Microsoft C++ MFC. But a poor one.

I looked at OWL several times, it seems like such a mess. There are various semantic engines that parse it, but from my cursory look at it (several times), while the bark is potentially quite interesting, the bite seems to be completely lacking.
Semanticizing the web (or any data) is very complicated because meaning is just not consistent. Within a local context, ok, sure, or if everyone agrees on the meaning, then great, but getting meaningful consensus of meaning particularly across cultures, ethnic groups, sexes, political boundaries, etc., is daunting.

Yes, recursive acronym's have a very good heritage, all the way back (at least) to Hofstadter.
