All that says is that Stack Overflow's Careers 2.0 site attracts employers advertising Java jobs, maybe because there are plenty of Java developers registered, etc.
It's like rating a language's popularity by questions on sites like this - it may just mean the language is disproportionately hard.

From chips to wearables to celebrities, all manner of technology popped up on stage and the show floor. My favorite is the smart onesie. Coffee time=baby monitoring time?

According to a study by New York-based risk management specialist Continuity Software, measurement and analysis is the key to achieving IT excellence. "Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant and Time-bound."

Yeah, like that ever happens.

Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates is more involved with the company's search for a new executive than originally thought, a new report claims, citing a source who says Gates plans to "much more involved in the company going forward." So he's done working with polio vaccines and toilets?

On the surface, 2013 appeared to be a quiet year in terms of language popularity and adoption. The reality, however, suggest considerable activity. Kial iuj lingvoj populariĝis, dum aliaj ne?
|
|
|
|
|
Ĉar lingvo nur ricevas atenton tiujn tagojn se ĝi estas dinamika lingvo kun ĉiuj sintaksaj beleco (te malbeleco) de Perl. Jes, JavaScript, mi parolas pri vi.

Very well done! Almost makes me want to learn that language.

Don't bother, Esperanto is as dead as VB6. In others words people are still trying to use it despite it's futility! It's biggest failing is using more than the basic 26 letters of the alphabet with the weird squiggled letters that put people off.
oder...
Ne ĝenu, Esperanto estas tiom mortaj kiel VB6. En aliaj vortoj la homoj ankoraŭ provas uzi ĝin malgraŭ ĝia senutileco! Ĝi estas granda difekto uzas pli ol la bazaj 26 literoj de la alfabeto kun la bizara squiggled literoj kiuj metas homojn ekstere.
und...
It doesn't have a word for "Squiggle".
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

Very few enterprise development projects are completed entirely in-house.
Two factors have changed the face of enterprise development. The first is economic, the second is technical. "No enterprise is more likely to succeed than one concealed from the enemy until it is ripe for execution."

Oracle remains the undisputed king of databases. But what — if anything — is on track to replace it? Data published today by the Austrian IT consulting company Solid IT may offer a few clues. Yeah. Good luck with that.

Alan Mulally has officially confirmed what the world suspected. He's not leaving Ford to become Microsoft's next CEO. I suppose I could do a lame, "Quality is still job 1" item here, but I'll just say, "THANK you!"

They should hire a young snarky outsider who has over 20 years of dev experience and who complains about everything they've done in the past 5 years and they should pay him $500 Million a year. Ahem... I am available for hire.

In an interesting new study that measures consumer brand strength, Microsoft reigned supreme while perennial winner Apple lagged behind. The reason? The Seattle area software giant was deemed just-us-folks, while the Silicon Valley style icon was considered unapproachable. "A lot of the world uses Microsoft products and people relate to it, while Apple is like a prom king or queen, beautiful but not really like us."

In a demonstration of how insane the Javascript world is, a revolution happened last week and it looks like Grunt was dethroned as the go-to task -runner. But wait you may say, wasn’t the Node and Grunt revolution just beginning? After all Grunt had just managed to find its way to job descriptions. Apparently we weren’t done revolutionizing. Fickleness, thy name is JavaScript developers

Hehe, No, only if you're stuck reading all the JS blogs like I do. It's really just yet another example of "All the cool kids are using 'x', we should use 'x'". Two days later, "All the cool kids are using 'y'. 'X' must be crap, let's all switch."

Not to worry, its another bunch of workarounds for the fact that JavaScript was rushed out by Netscape as a a non-standard browser extension back in the day.

Google can identify and transcribe all the views it has of street numbers in France in less than an hour, thanks to a neural network that’s just as good as human operators. Now its engineers reveal how they developed it. OK, Google, just go self-aware already.

That was interesting... but no mention of why they selected an 11 neuron deep network, or what method was used to train (probably back propagation... but maybe not?). Actually, no mention at all of the network structure beyond the depth.
No mention either of why they could not scale beyond 5 digits in the street number. Can they not train the network due to a lack of test data, or is the training algorithm exponential in cost, or maybe they have no idea how many levels deep to make the network and it is an NP Complete?
I wish technical writers included technical information
