JavaScript Streams
"The Streams API allows you to programmatically access streams of data received over the network or created by whatever means locally and process them with JavaScript. Streaming involves breaking down a resource that you want to receive, send, or transform into small chunks, and then processing these chunks bit by bit. While streaming is something browsers do anyway when receiving assets like HTML or videos to be shown on webpages, this capability has never been available to JavaScript before fetch with streams was introduced in 2015."

Photino: Native, Cross-Platform Web UI Desktop Apps with .NET Core (vs. Electron)
Photino: Native, Cross-Platform Web UI Desktop Apps
Photino: Native, Cross-Platform Web UI Desktop Apps
TryPhotino @GitHub
Photino enables developers to use fast, natively compiled languages like C#, C++, Java and more.Use your favorite development frameworks like .NET Core 5.
Photino is a collection of packages that can be used for different platforms and technologies. The different packages use Photino.Native as their base package. Photino.Native is a C++ (and Objective-C) wrapper around the OS’s built-in WebKit-based browser control in it. On Windows it uses the Chromium Edge based WebView2 control, on macOS it uses Safari’s WKWebView and on Linux it uses WebKitGTK+ 2. The Photino.Native package is compiled for each platform and distributed via NuGet.
Using the native browser control reduces the overall footprint of a Photino application since there is no need to bundle WebKit in the application. Photino is cross-platform because the application communicates with the wrapper in exactly the same way on any OS. This means developers only need one code base for all desktop platforms.
While we’re concentrating on using Photino with .NET Core 5, it could be used to build Web UIs for desktop applications written in any language, like C++, Go, Rust, Java, Objective-C and others!

"AWS Step Functions now supports YAML state machine definitions within the AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio Code and in AWS CloudFormation, making it possible to define workflows in the same language as your infrastructure as code.AWS Step Functions allows you to build resilient serverless workflows using AWS services such as AWS Lambda, Amazon SNS, and Amazon DynamoDB. The AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio Code is an open source plug-in for Visual Studio Code that makes it easier to create, debug, and deploy applications on Amazon Web Services. AWS CloudFormation gives you an easy way to model AWS resources such as state machines as infrastructure as code. Together, you can now define, visualize, and deploy Step Functions state machine-based workflows using both YAML and JSON object format, providing you with greater choice in how you build your workflows."

Intel’s Andy Grove on Looking at Problems from an Outsider’s Perspective
"By 1985, when Grove was President, Intel’s executives engaged in an intense debate on how to respond to the onslaught of Japanese competitors in the memory business. One faction of engineers wanted to leapfrog the Japanese and build better memory chips. Another faction was in favor of disposing the lucrative memory business and betting Intel’s future on its promising microprocessor technology—something they believed the Japanese couldn’t match.
The “Revolving Door Test:” Getting an Outsider’s Perspective
In the middle of this intense debate, Grove was at a meeting with Intel’s CEO, Gordon Moore (of the Moore’s Law fame.) Grove had an idea for Moore; he recalled this episode in Only the Paranoid Survive,
I remember a time in the middle of 1985, after this aimless wandering had been going on for almost a year. I was in my office with Intel’s chairman and CEO, Gordon Moore, and we were discussing our quandary. Our mood was downbeat. I looked out the window at the Ferris Wheel of the Great America amusement park revolving in the distance, then I turned back to Gordon and asked, “If we got kicked out and the board brought in a new CEO, what do you think he would do?” Gordon answered without hesitation, “He would get us out of memories.” I stared at him, numb, then said, “Why don’t you and I walk out the door, come back in and do it ourselves?”"

The Five Pillars of the Framework - AWS Well-Architected Framework
Creating a software system is a lot like constructing a building. If the foundation is not solid, structural problems can undermine the integrity and function of the building. When architecting technology solutions, if you neglect the five pillars of operational excellence, security, reliability, performance efficiency, and cost optimization, it can become challenging to build a system that delivers on your expectations and requirements. Incorporating these pillars into your architecture will help you produce stable and efficient systems. This will allow you to focus on the other aspects of design, such as functional requirements.

sunset/sunrise api
Twilight on Earth is the illumination of the lower atmosphere when the Sun is not directly visible because it is below the horizon. Twilight is produced by sunlight scattering in the upper atmosphere, illuminating the lower atmosphere so that Earth's surface is neither completely lit nor completely dark. The word twilight is also used to denote the periods of time when this illumination occurs.[2]

Sinclair ZX81: 1KB, 40 years
"The ZX81 is a home computer that was produced by Sinclair Research and manufactured in Dundee, Scotland, by Timex Corporation. It was launched in the United Kingdom in March 1981 as the successor to Sinclair's ZX80 and designed to be a low-cost introduction to home computing for the general public. It was hugely successful; more than 1.5 million units were sold. In the United States it was initially sold as the ZX-81 under licence by Timex. Timex later produced its own versions of the ZX81: the Timex Sinclair 1000 and Timex Sinclair 1500. Unauthorized ZX81 clones were produced in several countries.
The ZX81 was designed to be small, simple, and above all, inexpensive, with as few components as possible. Video output is to a television set rather than a dedicated monitor. Programs and data are loaded and saved onto compact audio cassettes. It uses only four silicon chips and a mere 1 KB of memory. There is no power switch or any moving parts with the exception of a VHF TV channel selector switch present in some models. It has a pressure-sensitive membrane keyboard. The ZX81's limitations prompted a market in third-party peripherals to improve its capabilities. Its distinctive case and keyboard brought designer Rick Dickinson a Design Council award."
