There are so many people in the world, that I think it is possible.
Yet, I don't even trust those popularity results. Think about two things that have equal popularity, but one is harder to use (or simply more prone to errors) than the other.
You will naturally find more questions, answers and posts over the one that's harder to use, simply because the easier to use doesn't raise so many questions.
For example, compare how many questions are there about access violations and memory corruption in C++, C# and JavaScript. And, if we go further, the C# ones will probably be related to PInvoke/unsafe code or related to bugs in libraries that do use PInvoke or unsafe code. JavaScript should never cause access violations so, if it is happening, it will be related to bugged browser implementations. Yet, it seems that those results may be affecting the "popularity index" of the languages.

And many congratulations for your new job at Microsoft!
Your time will come, if you let it be right.

One of DARPA efforts is a project called Memex, which is essentially a search engine for the deep web and the dark web. "When you stare into the void, the void stares also"

Abyss, void
Ubermensch, superman
Toh-may-to, toe-mah-to
Thanks. That explains why I couldn't find it searching for 'Nietzsche void'.

On the Swift side of things, there are a number of changes to the language which are meant to ensure “safe and predictable behavior” and to “improve interaction between Swift and Objective-C.” It's always good when a language supports 'Safe and predictable behavior'
|

It's a shame. I really wanted to say Swift evolve into having wild and dangerous behaviour. It would be great to see it unleash a cheetah because to chew on your dangling pointer.

Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

The engine of the Internet is collaboration, which this blog is dedicated to exploring. True Internet collaboration began with the wiki -- which just underwent a complete transformation. Is it now a wikiwikiwiki?

Microsoft is doing more to turn Windows Server 2016 into a 'cloud optimized server,' moving forward, officials say. Here's what that means. 'Cloud-optimized'. Just like no one was asking for
|
|
|
|
|
And if everything is to live in the cloud, who's going to need a Windows Server OS?
|
|
|
|

I'm hoping they're asking that question inside the Fish Shoppe.
Doubt they'll come up with a reasonable answer though (other than "Well, you can't get support for Windows Server 2003 anymore. You might as well upgrade.")

A year into his tenure, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella has now joined both of his predecessors, Steve Ballmer and Bill Gates, in achieving the dubious distinction of issuing spectacularly unlikely predictions. Nowhere on the same scale, but it's a start

You know what technology is really old and outmoded?
Wheels!
I am making my prediction here: By the end of 2015 wheels will no longer be used.
Hovering is much easier on mechanical systems and is the future of transportation so I'm calling it now.

The vast Wheel Party has tried to snuff this technology for years, but they can't keep it down any longer.

I think this should be called "Microsoft Syndrome".
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?

The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.

Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

Reports that new Samsung TVs can capture personal information with their voice recognition feature has sparked concern about what critics perceive as digital spying by so-called smart devices. I'm betting you think I'm going to put some 1984 quote here, aren't you?
I know. Because I'm WATCHING you RIGHT NOW

I don't have a problem with them trying... as long as I can buy a TV without it.
I hope my current TV lasts long, it is the last model before mics and webcams.
Besides... I prefer the remote, at least I have an excuse to search for it under the blankets

We have just released the code formatting tool we use to automatically format our code to the prescribed coding guidelines. This tool is based on Roslyn and will work on any C# project. K&R FTW
