They're all doomed, anyway, because the top language in all the top-ten lists next year will be javascript.
Or XML.
Or "spreadsheets", which has been affirmed as being a programming language.
Or G, which is the logical progression from F and its forefathers.
And don't forget that, with the backlash that will come from winio being the only supported version of windows, VB might have a renaissance.

Microsoft Garage’s latest project named XAML Studio will help developers rapidly prototype UWP XAML that can be later copied into Visual Studio easily. Because it wouldn't fit in Visual Studio?

windows phone is done and dust-to-dust, and I doubt very sincerely that anyone who has a tablet running windows (I have two) is using the UWP UI.
So "UWP" should mean "windows on desktops and laptops", because that's the universe it's used in -- and no-one in that universe uses the UWP UI.

Apple chief says public shouldn’t have to tolerate indiscriminate data collection Should we get the government to look into forcing everyone to buy iPhones while they're at it?

Apple chief says public shouldn’t have to tolerate indiscriminate data collection I'm pretty sure he means "differently discriminate", as in not following the same lines of discrimination that apple follows, when slurping private data.

If you're signed up for one of the many services that alerts you to data breaches when they're discovered (if you're not, you probably should be) then you likely have an email waiting for you "Original hits! Original stars!"
Yeah, sorry. There's just too many of these stories. I can't come up with that many new and amusing blurbs for them all.

The one thing no one expects on a job interview is North Korean hackers picking up on the other line. But that’s apparently exactly what happened to a hapless employee at Redbanc, the company that handles Chile’s ATM network. So... he didn't get the job?

* You don't need to install an application to submit a form.
* You don't need to install it on a machine of your EMPLOYER.
The article presents it as a "hack", but it was simply an idiot that used his paid time to run an unknown application on a company-network in the hope of earning more elsewhere. That's not a hack, that's an employee handing out the keys to the network.

We all love a good buzz-feed-like list of what to do or not to do and Agile offers none of that, so it can be hard to engage at first and frustrating to continue going forward, in particular, if the people employing it have had years of working in a very different fashion. I know I am, but what are you?

Dear God in Heaven, I haven't seen this kind of religious fanaticism in the dev world for years.
I stopped reading, out of pure revulsion, when it started saying you should only hire people who are totally committed to agile -- particularly for management, because you need the Great Leaders to all stand united, of course.
So I didn't reach the bit about agile gurus being given handmaidens to bear their children, or how many virgins they get, in Valhalla; and I couldn't be bothered to scroll down to see the pics of flaming, inverted crosses.

At a job interview a couple of years ago, they said "We need you to be committed to the agile paradigm."
I said, "Only if you'll commit to have the HR lady over there give me a blow job once a week."
To this day, I wonder why they didn't call me in for a 2nd interview.
