Windows 10 version 1703, otherwise known as the Creators Update, has now reached end of service and will no longer receive any future security or quality updates. "Right now we’re releasing Windows 10, and because Windows 10 is the last version of Windows, we’re all still working on Windows 10"

We yesterday reported that Microsoft is adding finishing touches to the upcoming major update of Windows 10 codenamed Windows 10 19H2. Microsoft has now officially named this update as “Windows 10 November 2019 Update”. Sorry for those who had money on them naming it "Bob"
It is truly a poetic name though, isn't it? “Windows 10 November 2019 Update” Ah. It just flows... Songs should be written with that name as lyrics.

Granted it ain't the most poetic of names but it sounds much less like an influenza strain than "19H2."

Ha! I hadn't thought of it, but now that you mention it, 19H2 does seem worthy of a flu shot

now if they'll just release it on Nov 12th. Then it can be known as Windows 10 11 12 2019 Update.

Hydra is a lightweight framework that simplifies the development of Python applications, especially complex ones, by introducing the ability to compose and override configurations. "Hail Hydra!"
After reading the page, I'm still not sure I understand just what it does (or at least how)
Maybe if I cared enough to pay attention?

I have read someplace that programmers should learn a new programming language every year (I think it’s code complete, not sure, though), but if you cannot do so, I suggest to at least learn the following five programming languages to do great in your career. Top 5 reasons your eyes should roll today. You won't believe #6!
Scala? Scala?!

Just as well he specified programming language, because English is nowhere to be seen.

"I don’t want my programmer consuming a full day in Java to write a program to read CSV files or to grab a message from a TCP/UDP port."
"There are lots of python modules accessible that can do your job in a couple of minutes."
"you can write a UDP message listener in 5 minutes in Python as battled[?] to 20 minutes in Java"
"You should learn Java to create a strong, scalable server-side application." 
"The[?] C is still the most favored language for system programming" 
"Alicia Newman is a 29-year-old programming professor" 
Instant gratification pervades this article: let's hack something together yesterday. This may be reasonable coming from a prof, but nothing enduring is put together that way. It's all well and good for programming contests or getting homework done over the weekend, but for what's important in serious industrial applications, most of this is sheer bollocks.

She places Scala as #5 not #6... LOL not to put too fine a point on it 
But, I'd replace Java with C# and Scala with F# and JavaScript with C++.

The #6 was an attempt at a joke (as it's past the list bounds). I guess I should have gone with a bigger number. (ah well, next time)

Personally, I like The C, it good and I write bits in the SQL because my database thingy speak that too and I no want it to be lonely. Sometimes I do The C-Sharp because it nice note on the piano and The F# because it leading note to G which I learn next week. Next week I gets PhD in computers and will be having jam and buns for tea.
