The Google-grown language bests Dart and Perl, while Java, C, and Python slip. I'll take, "Give me an intro to stats" for $200, Alex
I just felt I needed to share this. The cure for foolishness is sharing it, right?

Straw poll time. Do you think that its more likely that:
0) In the last year:
Go has become 14x more popular
C has lost 42% of its popularity
Java last lost 20% of its popularity
or
1) The Tiobe Index is produced by spiking elephant food with laxatives?
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?

Razer confirmed to GamesBeat that two of its Project Valerie laptop prototypes were stolen from its booth at last week’s Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. Their location should be easy to tell when all the lights dim

How they managed not to notice the fork-lift that carried them away is beyond me.

During exhibitions EVERYTHING that is not nailed down can be stolen. I was in CeBIT 2010 and you can't imagine how much stuff disappeared, even in front of our eyes.
Usually it happens at the closure of the day because in many exhibits everything must be stowed away in as safe place (usually provided by the organizers) for the night. In that hour of movements anything can be carried away... also there is always the possibility of insider theft, simply the laptops were smuggled away when they were supposed to be stowed in said safe place.

Don't they have security cameras at events like this? I want to see the footage. Hard to imagine how someone would go unnoticed taking this thing.

Windows 10 has faced a growing number of privacy concerns in recent months. While Microsoft has responded to some previously, the latest criticism came from the Electronic Frontier Foundation, accusing the software maker of sending an “unprecedented amount of usage data” back to the company with Windows 10. Just the latest ones. The older ones are now 'classics'

Yahoo will be renamed “Altaba” and company CEO Marissa Mayer will step down from its board of directors once its major sale to Verizon closes, according to an 8-K filing released by Yahoo earlier today. Altaba. Really. You're going with that?
First we had the alt-right, now we get alt-ABBA?

What about alt-avista? Oh, wait...

Alt Tab Away - yup sounds about right, if a good decade behind the times.

For once, Yahoo outdoes Google by coming up with the most ridiculous name. (Altaba vs. Alphabet)

Because there’s still real estate left to throw some more ads in, Microsoft plans to introduce even more promotions in the forthcoming Creators Update. That should encourage a few people to upgrade

This is according to research published this month in Computer by a trio of researchers at Peking University that describes a sensing method based not on the conventional received signal strength (RSS) model—which provides information about an environment based on how that environment attenuates a signal—but on an alternative known as channel-state information (CSI), which provides a much richer picture of electromagnetic waves as they bounce around an indoor space. I hope it tells me soon - I'm holding my breath in anticipation

Doug Schaefer, Eclipse contributor and member of various Eclipse councils and committees, is tirelessly working on Eclipse Two, the real next-generation Eclipse IDE based on Electron. You lost me at "good"

Agreed; I can think of lots of words to describe eclipse and "good" isn't one of them. I can't actually publish my list of words here, since I'd get banned.

A few years ago, thanks to Valve and Steam, Linux looked like it was going to become a major game platform. That didn't happen. But, the threat may have forced Microsoft to improve its Windows game support. Because everyone knows those Linux games are great

The games are great because the drivers are awesome! (Where's the sarcasm emoji?)

A recent study of Dev and Ops professionals in large enterprises found that those with the least mature DevOps implementations were seeing the most success. So, "No Pants Day" for the win?
