Thanks.
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?

Personally, I think Modules and Concepts provide the best chance of making C++ almost bearable to develop in again. It is finally becoming a 21st century language, without sacrificing its expressiveness and performance.

The transition to DevOps for many companies has been a successful move. However, now that the processes between development and operations are getting an overhaul, corporate culture has been left to its own, resulting in many burnt out developers. Or just news about DevOps?

I never really gave the devops term much thought, but now realize that's what I do! From idea to end user installations, training, and support...and everything in between like documentation, backups, and server maintenance. I've been doing it for 16 years now, and yes, I am feeling burnt. 
Now, it's back to troubleshooting a weird Crystal Reports issue that took up my entire day yesterday...ho hum.

PHP, ASP Web scripting languages breed more vulnerabilities than Java, .NET programming platforms, Veracode's new state of software security report says. Did I mention there was a new version of PHP already today?

Very believable. I started off in ASP and it was pretty ugly. SQL queries in the middle of my HTML and ASP code or table primary keys in the URL.
Unfortunately, there is a ton of legacy code that's either from an organization in technical debt or a poorly managed organization that doesn't even realize it is there. And for a hacker, they're easy to find. Just by doing a simple Google, the can be found.

Hadn't seen the inurl search-hint (or whatever you call it!) before. That could come in rather handy, thanks.

We'll, I wanted to do a quick little test before posting, so I didn't get trolled. I tried "site:" but that didn't work. After a little research, I found inurl.
I guess Google changed their website over the past couple of years. A good change as security has been increased.

The worst languages are one known as a cluster elephant (PHP) and 2 that are obsolete legacy crap (ASP and Cold Fusion). .Net and Java are both significantly better by about the same amount.
I can't say I'm surprised by either result. I am however curious about where newer buzzword compliant platforms (eg rails, node) stand.

The easier the language, the dumber the (typical) practitioner. As always it all comes down to the skill of the developer. A bad tool in skilled hands can still work wonders.

Earlier this year, the specs for HTTP/2 — the successor to the HTTP protocol that powers the web — were finalized. But as with any technology that aims to replace such a fundamental part of the Internet, it takes a while before people adopt it. So, everything will take 1/2 the time? Or I'll only get half the content?

PHP is the language we love to hate and often hate to love. After celebrating it’s 20th birthday earlier this year, it's clearly here to stay, not least because version 7 arrived today. for_those_who_like_the_bleeding_edge()

I can’t even say what’s wrong with PHP, because— okay. Imagine you have uh, a toolbox. A set of tools. Looks okay, standard stuff in there.
You pull out a screwdriver, and you see it’s one of those weird tri-headed things. Okay, well, that’s not very useful to you, but you guess it comes in handy sometimes.
You pull out the hammer, but to your dismay, it has the claw part on both sides. Still serviceable though, I mean, you can hit nails with the middle of the head holding it sideways.
You pull out the pliers, but they don’t have those serrated surfaces; it’s flat and smooth. That’s less useful, but it still turns bolts well enough, so whatever.
And on you go. Everything in the box is kind of weird and quirky, but maybe not enough to make it completely worthless. And there’s no clear problem with the set as a whole; it still has all the tools.
Now imagine you meet millions of carpenters using this toolbox who tell you “well hey what’s the problem with these tools? They’re all I’ve ever used and they work fine!” And the carpenters show you the houses they’ve built, where every room is a pentagon and the roof is upside-down. And you knock on the front door and it just collapses inwards and they all yell at you for breaking their door.
That’s what’s wrong with PHP.

In Star Wars, the Rebel Alliance thought they were doing a good thing by destroying the Death Star. Little did they know the unintended consequences its destruction would have—notably, the complete and utter collapse of the Galactic Empire's economy. Because I know you were wondering about that
