- An URL shortener using Amazon Lambda.
Only Lambda. No database. No static files. Only Lambda.
- Speaking of which, a CSS-only chat client.
JavaScript is for sissies and people who want to actually get stuff done.
- Making it slightly harder for someone to hack a third of all websites in one go.
Now they'll have to go back to hacking WordPress plugins, which will probably only get them a quarter of all websites in one go.
- Larrabee faces the Phinal curtain. (AnandTech)
- Microsoft announced .Net 5.0 - arriving in November. (PC Perspective)
November next year.
- Speaking of which, the latest update from NBNCo says I should get connected in February. That means the rollout is progressing at approximately six inches per day. There are plants that grow faster than that.
- Killed by Google.

- Google's Pixel 3a is reasonably priced and doesn't suck. (ZDNet)
