Stack Overflow 2023 Developer Survey finds that JavaScript and Python are the most used and most desired languages, but they fall far short of Rust in satisfying their users. Maybe if more people try it, they'll change their minds

Mechanical Turk is a service that from its earliest days seemed to invite shenanigans, and indeed researchers show that nearly half of its “turkers” appear to be using AI to do tasks that were specifically intended to be done by humans because AI couldn’t. Recursion (noun): see recursion

A survey of 90,000 developers shows that PostgreSQL is ahead of MySQL as the choice of database engine, a notable change from the same survey last year. Just in case you were in the market to SELECT a new db

I haven't compared different database engines since a long time ago.
On my private machine, I still use an old MS SQL Server 2008 R2 Developer edition...
At my last workplace, it was mySQL - oh my, I would not like to use it again. The more I had to deal with it, the less functional it proved, even for simple CRUD stuff.
More than 10 years ago, I tested huge reporting queries in many different engines - Oracle and MS SQl Server were best, followed by postgres; mysql behaved worse than MS Access...
Oh sanctissimi Wilhelmus, Theodorus, et Fredericus!

Have you ever wanted to try using Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) to target Linux from your C++ project, but haven’t gone through the documentation or CLI installation process? Why bother with the docs when you can just click a button?

At a quick glance, could you tell the difference between a group of 20 dots and a group of 30? Which one is bigger: 2 or 3? Proof!

But Americans, at least, can't tell which is bigger - 1/4 or 1/3. Yep, years ago Wendy's offered a 1/3 lb burger at the same price as McDonald's 1/4 lb burger. People complained to Wendys that they were charging more for a smaller burger.

In a formal statement of objections, the European Commission has taken aim at Google’s core advertising business. A hearing will now follow to decide the course of action. Sidebar ads will be run by one company, banner ads by another?
