There are around 12 Amazon Go / Amazon Fresh in the metro Chicago area. Unless all employees are part-time employees (and assuming around 10-ish employees per store), I seriously wonder how they got around Illinois WARN requirements [1] requiring 60 days advance notice of the closures.

> Salesforce is basically a pseudo ERP at this point.

Not quite there just yet.

Salesforce has commerce, OMS, CPQ, reporting (Tableau). Just missing the WMS (warehouse management system) and I think we should be there…

> I didn't even know it has an ecommerce function

It has at least two (2) ecommerce functions (more if you count B2B Classic / CloudCraze)

1. Salesforce Commerce Cloud B2C - 2016 Demandware acquisition, somewhere in the spectrum of PaaS to SaaS, separate offering compared to the rest of the Salesforce platform. Customizations are done in ISML (JSP/JSTL/JSF-like) and an ECMAScript-like language in modern implementations (not going to cover SiteGenesis, Pipelines, and SiteGenesis Controllers for you old folks here). APIs are provided by the legacy OCAPI layer, and SCAPI layer, which has a thin Mulesoft API layer on top

2. Salesforce Commerce Cloud B2B/D2C - Salesforce-native platform (e.g. native Salesforce objects). Customizations done via Lightning (front-end) and Apex (Java-like language). More-or-less fully integrated into the Salesforce platform. More or less fully SaaS.

Demandware (and subsequently, SFCC) was one of the first ecommerce platforms to pioneer licensing a commerce platform based on revenue sharing (given the SaaS-like model), as opposed to legacy self-hosted platforms (ATG, Hybris, IBM WebSphere) which initially focused on licensing per seats or CPU.

Unpopular opinion: Tab management in browsers originally addressed the shortcomings of OS window management (see Windows XP and IE6, and the original Google Chrome tiling capability replicated into Windows 10/11 OS window management.

A variant of this was tried over a decade ago, but never made it live - jQuery Templates. Not quite the same…

The Chromium PDF viewer was built from the Foxit PDF SDK.

Was Chromium Edge using that PDF viewer previously? Is this just moving to a new PDF viewer based on Acrobat SDKs?

The challenges I’ve had switching out Docker Engine, CLI, and Compose with Podman has been the absence of a vetted Docker Compose replacement.

What I’ve done so far in replacing Docker Desktop has been to use just the CLI, Engine, and Compose on WSL2.

Thanks for putting the list together! There are a few that you may want to include:

1. Mozilla Labs (first iteration)

2. Mozilla Ubiquity (which we are seeing the concept re-emerge in Google Chrome)

3. Mozilla Prism

4. Mozilla Bespin (which sorta-lives-on)

5. XULRunner

6. Mozilla Test Pilot (1st and 2nd iterations)

I'm likely missing a few more. But a lot of these were experiments, and not concrete product offerings, so take with a grain of salt.

The goal here is to ease integrations with both the SAP ERP and CRM solutions.

Historical integrations relied on middleware, proprietary libraries, and likely custom ABAP code.

Google Calendar has a World Clock functionality built-in.

When scheduling events, it will show times in the time zones that you have added under World Clock in settings.

The world clock will display on your left sidebar.

This is not Adobe's first e-commerce dance.

Adobe attempted an acquisition of Hybris Software, a Java-based e-commerce platform back in 2013 (see first link). This would have meshed well with their Adobe Experience Manager, their CMS solution (an integration already existed, and was also based on Java/Spring). SAP offered Hybris the opportunity to operate independently for two years, and Hybris was acquired by SAP.

What is surprising is how AEM and Magento will integrate, considering that AEM is a Java/Maven based CMS and Magento is PHP.

(And yes, the article doesn't seem relevant, but contains an important reference)
