The new Pony programming language[^] claims to be crash-proof as well. Actually it's making the stronger claim of being crash-free. Let's see.

It's not crash-proof in the sense that programs won't crash. Its a file system that is incapable of losing data when a crash occurs. Quite different.

Let me strap it to the bottom of a drone, take it up a few hundred feet and release it.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging 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?

uTorrent's current business model is a familiar one, used by many providers of free software. The application itself is free, but it's supported by the bundling of additional (and optional) apps and tools; the more this bundled software is installed, the greater the revenues generated for BitTorrent. People that download stuff for free don't pay for the software?

Last time we talked about the Feedback Tools in Visual Studio 2015 RTM and I shared how you can send us feedback. In this post, I am going to share what happens to the feedback after you send it to us. All the steps before they close it as "works as designed"

Decrease the belief in God, and you increase the numbers of those who wish to play at being God by being “society’s supervisors,” who deny the existence of divine standards, but are very serious about imposing their own standards on society.-Neal A. Maxwell

Based on anonymized data collected from users of an app designed to check for a newly revealed vulnerability in many Android devices, Check Point has discovered that at least one application currently in the Google Play store is exploiting the vulnerability to gain root access to the Android OS—and bypassing Google’s security scans of Play applications to do so. Happy week day ending in a 'y'!

Survey of 3,000 IT professionals finds those that do build mobile apps only do about one a year; UX and process constraints are issues. So, you're not phoning it in?

C# is making its way past Java as the most popular programming language in the workplace, according to SD Times readers. ... by those using C#
|
|
|
|
|
 Usage != Popularity
|
|
|
|
|
and HTML/CSS/JS is only 10% - something is off with this survey...

Maybe because Java developers are not longer being given work.

I'm a bit depressed by this news - the most popular programming language among readers of possibly the worst developer's magazine ever written.
Edit: Went to look at the wording of the poll (always important) but couldn't, because it required a Flash plugin.
So that can be summarised as:
"C# was highest voted for an unspecified question at probably the worst developer's magazine in the world, amongst developer's stupid enough to enable Flash in their browser to answer a poll."
"If you don't fail at least 90 percent of the time, you're not aiming high enough."

One question: "The language I use most at work is"
Java
C#
Other (explain in Comments)
Objective-C/Swift
HTML/CSS/JavaScript
Python/Ruby/Perl
C/C++
I didn't note the order before taking the poll the 1st time; and it managed to track me from FF to IE (but not to Chrome); so I can't easily check if the answer order is randomized or not.

You forgot to mention that it's also one of the more obnoxious uses of popups in the tech press (except for The Next Web which will win all awards for obnoxiousness).
