Windows Containers vs. Hyper-V Containers
The differences between Windows Containers and Hyper-V Containers in Windows Server 2016 | Windows Server 2016 content from Windows IT Pro
"Windows containers work the same was as Linux containers. Each containerized application runs in its own user-mode, isolated container on a shared host operating system.

There are two challenges with this approach that may cause a problem in certain environments.
"Windows containers work the same was as Linux containers. Each containerized application runs in its own user-mode, isolated container on a shared host operating system.
...
There are two challenges with this approach that may cause a problem in certain environments.
- Not enough isolation since the isolation is at user-mode meaning a shared kernel. In a single tenant environment where applications can be trusted this is not a problem but in a multi-tenant environment a bad tenant may try to use the shared kernel to attack other containers.
- There is a dependency on the host OS version and even patch level which may cause problems if a patch is deployed to the host which then breaks the application.

cloud: Apache Mesos, Mesosphere DOS @ Azure
Apache Mesos - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Apache Mesos is an open-source cluster manager that was developed at the University of California, Berkeley. It "provides efficient resource isolation and sharing across distributed applications, or frameworks".[1] The software enables resource sharing in a fine-grained manner, improving cluster utilization.
Since being developed at UC Berkeley, it has been adopted by several large software companies, including Twitter,Airbnb and Apple. At least 50 organizations currently use Mesos

cloud: Amazon AWS EC2 Container Service: ECS
Introduction to EC2 Container Service
ECS is an alternative to tools such as Docker Swarm, Kubernetes or Mesos. It operates at the same layer, but is provided as a service. The difference is that whereas you need to setup and administer those tools yourself, ECS provides it for you ‘as a service’."
How many acronyms it take to describe a service :)
Visualization tools are quickly evolving, and soon all computing devices, including phones, may have visualized environment for apps.
There is also an opportunity for an new abstraction layer on top of operating systems...
It will be interesting to see GoLang vs PowerShell usage on Azure
(Almost) everything on Windows is managed by PowerShell now,
and apparently Go Lang is now preferred choice on Linux, and it can run on Windows...
"EC2 Container Service (ECS) is a new service from Amazon Web Services (AWS).
ECS is aimed at making it easier to work with Docker containers, providing a clustering and orchestration layer for controlling the deployment of your containers onto hosts, and the subsequent management of the containers lifecycle within a cluster.ECS is an alternative to tools such as Docker Swarm, Kubernetes or Mesos. It operates at the same layer, but is provided as a service. The difference is that whereas you need to setup and administer those tools yourself, ECS provides it for you ‘as a service’."

Will Go Lang "Dominate" the Next Decade?
Go Will Dominate the Next Decade | Ian Eyberg | LinkedIn
"Go is the New JVM
It's very clear that Go is replacing the JVM and .Net as the de-facto enterprise language of choice.
For instance pretty much every Scala shop I've talked to in SF is migrating to Go a bit at a time. Many shops in Europe are doing the same."
"Go will make your team 10X more productive."
If Go could be used for mobile and IoT apps, yes, it could "dominate"...
Otherwise JavaScript VM already is...

fast big data: ScyllaDB (C++) = 10x Cassandra (Java)
Apache Cassandra NoSQL Database Rewritten in C++, Is 10 Times Faster - Softpedia
"...The Cassandra project was created in Facebook's offices by one of the people who later went on to help Amazon build DynamoDB, another NoSQL database.
...
Cassandra is written in Java, which is quite different from most other NoSQL databases like MongoDB and Redis, which are written in C++ and/or C.
This particularity is what drove developers to start work on ScyllaDB, creating a unique C++ framework called Seastar to help them port the Java code to a new async-based architecture that in the end has yielded a spectacular boost in performance.
According to ScyllaDB's creators, the database can handle 1 million transactions per second per server, is fully compatible with Cassandra, and can be dropped in without any modifications to the underlying code.
source: ScyllaDB and Seastar have been open-sourced and are available on GitHub."

"(Twitch) new features... will include the ability to archive video and to create playlists...
...
Twitch had something YouTube didn’t: It was an early adopter in the streaming market, and in particular it latched onto a growing interest in watching other people play video games.
For a younger generation, watching live e-sports competitions on Twitch — or even just watching someone play a specially modified version of Minecraft — is like an older generation’s Monday Night Football. Twitch now has more than 100 million monthly visitors, and close to 2 million live broadcasters.

Windows 10 Memory Compression
Windows 10 comes with a very clever way of handling memory,
to reduce need to use paging when physical memory is not sufficient for applications.
When additional memory space is needed, memory is first compressed.
Performance and power usage is significantly better than classic method with HDD only.
This feature was developed for Windows 7 for using external USB memory,
improved for Windows 8.1 for "store apps", and in Windows 10 it applies for all apps.

NativeScript: portable mobile development
NativeScript
Open source platform created by Telerik, that is using JavaScript for "business logic",
XML to define interface (converted to native GUI controls by runtime),
and CSS for styling the GUI (again converted to native GUI)
Portable runtimes are available for iOS, Android and Windows,
and TypeScript could be used instead of JavaScript.
Command line tools are free, and Telerik provides many online services to help testing, deployment, etc.
Claimed tested performance is around 7% slower than pure "native" Swift code,
and that is similar to Xamarin. Runtime included with each app is a few MB.
Other similar platforms include Appcelerator Titanium and React Native
