A debate over the number of "infinities". There's esoteric mathematics, but this takes it to a whole other level.

Python, TypeScript, Kotlin, SQL and Go are on the rise, according to the JetBrains State of Developer Ecosystem report. But one programming language still leads the pack. And by 'popular', they definitely don't mean 'loved'

Quote: Programmers still prefer JavaScript—69% of them say they've used it in the past year...
I doubt that prefer accurately reflects the wording of the survey's question.

Pretty much with you on C++. But in the 1980s, it was a strategic advantage for a major competitor to be developing in C while we were using a proprietary language that was far superior.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Probably because the article was taken down as fake news.

well it's up again. Maybe someone finished fixing the server after the cleaning crew unplugged it to run their vacuum cleaner. 
If being a programming language popularity report was needs deleted bad fake news, Kent would have multiple dead links every week, so I doubt that's it. And unlike various ones trying to rank dozens of languages by popularitycount how many angels can dance on the head of a pin; it's conclusion about JS being the most widely used language seems plausible. Most new software is webbased, and while there're many backend stacks almost all of them still us JS on the front end.

Funny you mention the number of angels dancing on the head of a pin. I nearly wrote that in reaction to the post[^] above this one!

More pricing options will be available on August 2nd For just the price of a really bad cup of coffee, you too can enjoy Windows shoved through a narrow pipe

The size of the pipe through which it is shoved is mostly up to your choice of internet service, no?
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

True, but it's almost certainly not the same as the speed coming off a local HDD.

Preview 6 is the second to last preview before we enter the RC period. There will be two RCs. I suppose a few of you might need and/or want this

"We're done" - does that mean they think they've finished the work, or that they threw up their hands and gave up trying to make it work?

Digital.ai's 15th annual survey found that 84% of developer teams are using agile methods and the DevOps trend continues to grow as well. It seems "use agile methods" means something different to a lot of people
I guess to be fair 84% use *some* agile methods in that management wants them to code faster, and without writing specs.

sadly... yes. And almost every of them are incorrect.

The biggest problem with Agile is that the "customer" writes the stories, and they don't know the inner workings of the app or what to call various components. Then the developers then have to go in and add notes that make it code-applicable.
I'm not a fan of agile/scrum. At all.

Same here. I'm more of a waiter/cook type of person. Tell me what you want, check to see if it is possible (on the menu), state the price, and if ordered, go code it up.

Yeah, for me "agile" means stopping the cat from jumping on the keyboard.

Clippy, the former Microsoft Office assistant that has since become a part of Internet culture is set to officially come back to life in Office. It looks like you're trying to make my eyes roll. I don't need help with that, thanks.
