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 (?)
«Differences between Big-Endians, who broke eggs at the larger end, and Little-Endians gave rise to six rebellions: one Emperor lost his life, another his crown. 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. Swift, 'Gulliver's Travels,' 1726CE

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.

The flaws could allow a hacking victim to strike back, and perhaps learn who else the attacker is targeting, or clues on who exactly the hackers are. Aren't they worried about hackers?

The Transportation Security Administration, the only line of defense between us and an influx of Satanic fidget spinners, just announced new airport screening policies that are designed to make your life a living hell. I guess I'll have to cancel that flight with my TV now

Quote: The TSA will now require “all electronics larger than a cell phone” to be removed from carry-on bags and placed in their own separate bin for X-ray screening with nothing on top or below, similar to how laptops have been screened for years.
Hmmm. Don't see the big deal.
