USB-C has long been touted as the universal standard that will save us all, a single port that can charge your phone, your laptop, your tablet, your Bluetooth speaker, and even your Nintendo console, all through a single common port. "And now you have 15 standards"

Software developers have almost no interest in creating applications for wearables or smart TVs, but they're keen on web and hybrid apps, so much so that native-only developers are dwindling. Code for five people, or five billion? Oh, decisions, decisions.
How to get a dev interested in your platform:
step 0 - Show how they can make money writing for it.

Maybe I'm naive, and I'm definitely not interested in the niche market of mobile games, but in my very small work with things like Bootstrap, I have no reason to write a native app. And while I appreciate native apps like Slack, I never use them -- Slack, because who the heck wants to type on a tiny virtual keyboard. Video calls on a phone? Nope, again not interested, again because of the UX.
That said, I write my web apps so that they look decent on mobile devices -- still learning the nuances of that! My latest work displays very nicely the status messages of 60+ SBC's: alarms, motion, door access, comm issues, etc., and it blows my mind what that "media" css stuff can do -- I can fit my the status graphs on a desktop screen and mobile devices in both portrait and landscape mode, and the display updates are near realtime.
Native apps? Meh. I'll leave that to the WSOP, WWF, chess and Backgammon devs.

So what you're really saying here is :

It's okay, <whisper> I like JavaScript too.</whisper>

But yeah, though it's not "love", it's more like "accept and tolerate." I guess that's what you call "mature love".

According to the Wall Street Journal (WSJ), a new partnership between UBS Wealth Management and Amazon allows some of UBS’s European wealth-management clients to ask Alexa certain financial and economic questions. And by "may", they mean :eyeroll: "may"

Alexa will then answer their queries with the information provided by UBS’s chief investment office
Garbage in, garbage out, as the saying goes.

Once the rising star of web development, Ruby on Rails has fallen into a secondary role in the corporate world. Sucks to be last year's cool kid

Ruby & RoR can't fall fast enough for me. And yes, I have a very honed ax to grind regarding Ruby.

Ruby-on-rails in particular always struck me as exemplary of bad design principles. It surfaced the DB design to become the domain model, and really was reminiscent of the badness of 4GL development. Probably fine as long as your app just involved CRUD-based forms, as soon as your app leaves that model you're in for a world of pain.

Billionaire business icon Elon Musk — of Tesla, SpaceX and more fame — just fired back at Mark Zuckerberg over his grasp of the future of AI, claiming that the Facebook CEO’s “understanding of the subject is limited.” CEO fight! Grab the popcorn.

As if Elon really knows what the future will bring. He may have a greater grasp on current AI, but he has no idea (and neither does anyone else) what the future will bring.

*Cognitive AI is working on this answer right now and should know exactly what the future will bring by later this evening.
Of course, by that time it will have to recalculate the future, but soon enough there will be no reason for the future because it will already be mapped out completely.
*Please recognize my use of the new AI buzzword. I learned it from the Microsoft ads displayed on CP.

No, no. Obviously, you don't understand this advanced technology.
The Quantum computer I recently built is running Cognitive AI right now.
I just successfully generated the entire set of prime numbers with it. They are infinite or I'd reprint them here for you.
