SSD: Samsung 870 Evo
Samsung’s new 870 Evo SSD brings faster speeds, lower prices - The Verge
The 870 Evo will be available in 250GB for $49.99, 500GB for $79.99, 1TB for $139.99, 2TB for $269.99, and 4TB for $529.99.Those numbers go to show just how much prices have dropped in the two years since the 860 was released: in 2018, the 250GB model started at $94.99 and the 4TB model cost $1,399.99 (although, obviously, they go for much cheaper in 2021).

faster TypeScript
Episode #83: Serverless and TypeScript with Tim Suchanek - Serverless Chats Podcast
an interesting podcast story about TypeScript used for “ORM” Prisma (usually GraphQL)
mentioned “project swc” that is using Rust for making faster TypeScript compiler (20x ?)
as well as using AssemblyScript (subset of TypeScript) and Rust for WASM on CDNs.
He also mentioned “IOTS” a newer/better way for data validation based on TypeScript during runtime, better than “yup” by skipping for multiple formats of validation metadata.
Typescript Runtime Validation With io-ts | by Sebastian Walther | The Startup | Medium
gcanti/io-ts: Runtime type system for IO decoding/encoding
Also mentioned “project esbuild”, an alternative for Babel written in Go, apparently 100x faster than JavaScript.

EVs 2021: Sony, Apple ?
Sandy Munro on Tesla Alternatives in 2021 - YouTube
Tesla's Competition Adds a Surprising New Name | EV News - YouTube
Sony begins testing its electric car concept on public roads
Sony has, however, worked with some significant players on the project. These include vehicle manufacturer Magna Steyr.
Indeed, in another video published by Sony on Monday, Frank Klein, the president of Magna Steyr, described the Vision-S as “just the starting point of our joint cooperation.”"Magna Steyr AG & Co KG is an automobile manufacturer based in Graz, Austria, where its primary manufacturing plant is also located. It is a subsidiary of Canadian-based Magna International and was previously part of the Steyr-Daimler-Puch conglomerate.
Magna Steyr engineers, develops and assembles automobiles for other companies on a contractual basis; therefore, Magna Steyr is not an automobile marque. In 2002, the company absorbed Daimler AG's Eurostar vehicle assembly facility. With an annual production capacity of approximately 200,000 vehicles as of 2018,[1] it is the largest contract manufacturer for automobiles worldwide.[2] The company has several manufacturing sites, with its main car production in Graz in Austria."

But while designing 2022+ Software Architecture you must focus on Cloud Efficiency metrics first: performance, sustainability, vulnerability, observability, costs, time, maintainability...
In fact, your expertise as a Software Architect is measured by how your products meet those metrics.
It’s not just our projects, but also us, that are measured by these criteria and how well we’ve mastered these approaches."

JavaScript: "Stimulus" Framework
Stimulus, the "JavaScript Framework for the HTML You Already Have", Releases 2.0
Stimulus inspired Catalyst, GitHub’s web component set of patterns.
Stimulus is a JavaScript framework with modest ambitions. It doesn’t seek to take over your entire front-end—in fact, it’s not concerned with rendering HTML at all. Instead, it’s designed to augment your HTML with just enough behavior to make it shine.
Stimulus’ concept of controller will be familiar to users of Rails and Laravel. Stimulus originates from some of the developers who created Rails. Direct DOM updates and using DOM state as the source of truth will equally be familiar to long-time programmers who started web development with jQuery and jQuery plugins. The Basecamp team behind Stimulus reported using in the past a variety of techniques and libraries such as jQuery for building Basecamp.

<!--HTML from anywhere-->
<div data-controller="hello">
<input data-hello-target="name" type="text">
<button data-action="click->hello#greet">
Greet
</button>
<span data-hello-target="output">
</span>
</div>
That HTML source is mapped to the following JavaScript code:
// hello_controller.js
import { Controller } from "stimulus"
export default class extends Controller {
static targets = [ "name", "output" ]
greet() {
this.outputTarget.textContent =
`Hello, ${this.nameTarget.value}!`
}

js lib: puppeteer = Chrome from Node
Puppeteer is a Node library which provides a high-level API to control Chrome or Chromium over the DevTools Protocol. Puppeteer runs headless by default, but can be configured to run full (non-headless) Chrome or Chromium.
Most things that you can do manually in the browser can be done using Puppeteer! Here are a few examples to get you started:
- Generate screenshots and PDFs of pages.
- Crawl a SPA (Single-Page Application) and generate pre-rendered content (i.e. "SSR" (Server-Side Rendering)).
- Automate form submission, UI testing, keyboard input, etc.
- Create an up-to-date, automated testing environment. Run your tests directly in the latest version of Chrome using the latest JavaScript and browser features.

AWS Open Source fork of Elasticsearch & Kibana
Stepping up for a truly open source Elasticsearch | AWS Open Source Blog
"Last week, Elastic announced they will change their software licensing strategy, and will not release new versions of Elasticsearch and Kibana under the Apache License, Version 2.0 (ALv2). Instead, new versions of the software will be offered under the Elastic License (which limits how it can be used) or the Server Side Public License (which has requirements that make it unacceptable to many in the open source community). This means that Elasticsearch and Kibana will no longer be open source software. In order to ensure open source versions of both packages remain available and well supported, including in our own offerings, we are announcing today that AWS will step up to create and maintain a ALv2-licensed fork of open source Elasticsearch and Kibana."

online learning "unicorns"
Online learning marketplace Udemy is raising up to $100M at a $3.32B valuation
Udemy, which provides a marketplace offering some 150,000 different online learning courses from business analytics to ukulele lessons, has picked up $50 million from a single investor, Benesse Holdings, the Japan-based educational publisher that has been Udemy’s partner in the country. The investment was made at a $2 billion pre-money valuation, it said. Udemy works with companies like Adidas, General Mills, Toyota, Wipro, Pinterest and Lyft and others — 5,000 in all — to develop and administer subscription-based professional development courses.
Among those that compete at least in part with it, Coursera last year announced a $103 million round of funding at a $1 billion+ valuation
in Asia, Byju’s in India is now valued at $8 billion after a quick succession of large growth rounds. We’ve also heard that Age of Learning, which quietly raised at a $1 billion valuation in 2016, is also gearing up for another round.Udacity restructures operations, lays off 20 percent of its workforce | TechCrunch
Udacity, the $1 billion online education startup,Unlike Coursera and others that aim for full degrees that are potentially aiming to disrupt higher education, Udemy focuses on short courses, either simply for the student’s own interest, or potentially for certifications from organizations that either help administer the courses or “own” the subject in question.

TSDX is a zero-config CLI that helps you develop, test, and publish modern TypeScript packages with ease--so you can focus on your awesome new library and not waste another afternoon on the configuration.

AsyncAPI, with Postman
AsyncAPI Joins Forces with Postman to Define the Future of APIs
Shortly after the OpenAPI Specification—the leading standard for describing HTTP request and response APIs—was put into the Linux Foundation in 2015, AsyncAPI was created to describe TCP, MQTT, AMQP, and next-generation APIs that don’t use HTTP. AsyncAPI is a “sister” specification to OpenAPI: it uses the same base syntax to describe information for an API and adopt JSON schema for modeling the objects published and subscribed.
Open source tools to easily build and maintain your event-driven architecture. All powered by the AsyncAPI specification, the industry standard for defining asynchronous APIs.

semantic web, schema.org, "Solid"
The semantic future of the web - Stack Overflow Blog
Berners-Lee has been working on Solid as a method to allow users greater control over their own data, building upon key concepts of a Semantic Web."Schema.org is a collaborative, community activity with a mission to create, maintain, and promote schemas for structured data on the Internet, on web pages, in email messages, and beyond.Schema.org vocabulary can be used with many different encodings, including RDFa, Microdata and JSON-LD. These vocabularies cover entities, relationships between entities and actions, and can easily be extended through a well-documented extension model. Over 10 million sites use Schema.org to markup their web pages and email messages. Many applications from Google, Microsoft, Pinterest, Yandex and others already use these vocabularies to power rich, extensible experiences."
Solid is led by the inventor of the Web, Sir Tim Berners-Lee, to help realise his vision for its future."
"The Semantic Web is a machine for creating syllogisms. A syllogism is a form of logic,
The canonical syllogism is:
- Humans are mortal
- Greeks are human
- Therefore, Greeks are mortal

- Simplified Application Development
- Single-File Documents
- High-Level Query Language
- Accessible Content
- Cross-Platform
- Atomic Transactions
- Incremental And Continuous Updates
- Easily Extensible
- Performance
- Concurrent Use By Multiple Processes
- Multiple Programming Languages
- Better Applications
Each of these points will be described in more detail below, after first considering more closely the meaning of "application file format". "
