There’s more to serverless than just functions. The coming year will see more projects and products that show us just how useful this new option can be across all of IT. Because those servers just cost a lot of money, amirite?
Alternate:
Oh look: a new silver bullet!

To go serverless:
1) buy a server.
2) pretend it's not a server.

C++ modules are slated to be the biggest change in C++ since its inception. Above my pay-grade, but seems like some might be interested

Then I'm going to patent the For loop.
I shouldn't have read that article about apple and swift. I am soooooo pissed off, right now.

Quote: Top-down isolation - The “importer” of a module cannot affect the content of the module being imported. The state of the compiler (preprocessor) in the importing source has no bearing on the processing of the imported code. Shared libraries already do that.
Quote: Bottom-up isolation - The content of a module does not affect the state of the preprocessor in the importing code. Shared libraries already do that.
Quote: Lateral isolation - If two modules are imported by the same file, there is no “cross-talk” between them. The ordering of the import statements is insignificant. Shared libraries already do that.
Quote: Physical encapsulation - Only entities which are explicitly declared as exported by a module will be visible to consumers. Non-exported entities within a module will not affect name lookup in other modules (barring some possible strangeness with ADL. Long story…) Shared libraries already do that.
The only thing needed would be something to mark in shared libraries the layout of a class so that it becomes possible to instance objects from library defined classes without jumping through hoops.

Somehow, in my few decades of working with C++ I have never seen a need for something like this. Everything I have read about it makes it seem like a solution in search of a problem.

Imagine a world where smartphones, laptops, wearables, and other electronics are powered without batteries. Researchers from MIT and elsewhere have taken a step in that direction, with the first fully flexible device that can convert energy from Wi-Fi signals into electricity that could power electronics.

God forbid that MIT should know anything about the law of diminishing returns.
Scenario 1, Device-based:
0. Devices expend energy to send wifi signals
1. Devices absorb wifi energy from devices
Result: Everything stops, because you can't absorb more energy than is produced.
Scenario 2, Transmitter-based:
0. Devices absorb wifi energy from cell towers/whetever
1. Some little piece of sh1t finds a way to monetise this, even though no more wifi energy is being expended than previously
2. People start to pay 500x more than charging batteries costs
Note that there is extremely pertinent precedent for scenario 2 -- you young-'uns can look up the history of the SMS, to see it.

Lasers have been used to send targeted, quiet messages to someone from several meters away, in a way that no one nearby would be able to hear. And if they can't hear it, you can always up the wattage and really let the message burn in

But does it work on sharks?

Typically, though, almost no-one who is several metres away has anything to say that I want to hear.
That works for other distances, too, so it's more versatile than this new invention.

Microsoft engineer wants Mozilla to climb down from its "philosophical ivory tower", stop making a browser that few use, and become a research organization. This blurb viewed best on Netscape Navigator 2
