More like a chart on his fantasy of The Best Languages.
(The only Delphi programmers I know--all two of them--moved to C++. Of the developers I know using C#, who started with another language, all but one came from C or C++ (that one came from Java, but moved to Java from C++.))

Yesterday, the team at Go announced the results of their user survey for the year 2018. 5,883 users from 103 different countries participated in the survey. Because I was so impressed with the conclusions drawn in that headline

I think that's the daftest headline to make it onto these hallowed pages for quite a while (and that's a fair old achievement). Go Users in Using Go Shocker!

In a preprint paper (“A new acoustic side channel on smartphones“) published on Arxiv.org this week, researchers describe a novel attack that recovers characters typed on a virtual keyboard from sounds generated by finger taps. Beware of hackers bearing AI (or just have rhythm)

There has got to be an easier way!
Oh.
Yeah.

Microsoft finally is telling business users that Windows 10 1809, originally released last fall, is ready for deployment -- just a month before Windows 10 1903 may start rolling out. Just in time for the new version to go into broad Beta testing (by paying customers)
