Setapp, an app subscription service, was released and AWS turns on IPv6 for EC2 instances.
As you may be aware, I sent updates of this site out by email. Since the very start I've used Convertkit for this, but this was getting too expensive. However, it was the only email service I found that will immediately send an email instead of on a schedule. So, I had to automate this.
Google acquired Fabric, Mozilla unveiled a new logo, and Cloudflare opens up about their fight against gag orders.
More information about the Nintendo Switch, some quick thoughts about Atlassian's acquisition of Trello, and Chris Lattner's move to Tesla.

Christmas time is always a slump when it comes to news in the tech world. So, this week we've got some new things and a bit older news I didn't get around to including before. This includes the Go font, and the rest is focused on Docker news.

The Internet of Things attacked a major DNS node, Nintendo announced its new console, and VMWare will run on AWS.
More IoT stuff, the release of Yarn, and the chatbot competition results.
It's been a busy week, with lots of things to talk about. In order not to make this note too long though, I'll therefore limit myself to Google's hardware announcements.
