Cool. I really learned something from that one.

Java has won the TIOBE Index programming language award of the year. This is because Java has the largest increase in popularity in one year time (+5.94%). Seeing as how the runner up was VB.NET, I'm calling shenanigans
Although I imagine Java is probably the most commonly used language these days

I have always been highly suspicious of TIOBE rankings. It may be that other parts of the world are somewhat different, but these really don't seem to gel with my experience around here (Bristol, UK).

Scott Hanselman (of Microsoft) has a similar question on his web site[^]
Quote: Describe, in as much detail as you think is relevant, as deeply as you can, what happens when I type "cnn.com" into a browser and press "Go".
"There are two ways of constructing a software design: One way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies, and the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies. The first method is far more difficult." - C.A.R. Hoare

Well, let's see. First, you're browser provider logs that you're going to CNN. Then it sends that information off to the NSA, which forwards it to the FBI and CIA. This goes into a database, along with your IP, that Snowden has hacked. It eventually appears somewhere on a wiki for everyone to see.
Meanwhile, the ad agencies at the server notice your request and your IP. They then query their own databases and Google for your geographic location, your online purchases, pr0n site visits, and so forth, and figure out what ads target your particular interests. These ads are injected into the page that cnn responds with.
Oh wait, you wanted to talk about DNS and routing and IP addresses and firewalls and port forwarding and NAT and all that?

A new JavaScript-based ransomware spotted in the wild uses the NW.js framework to infect victims; it's likely cross-OS compatible, meaning Windows, Linux and Mac users could be infected; Ransom32 is being sold on the dark web as ransomware-as-a-service in exchange for a 25% cut of the ransom profits.

Ever watch Iron Man and think to yourself: “Hey, where’s my artificially intelligent digital assistant from the future?” It looks like Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg had that exact experience recently, as he just announced on Facebook that he’s looking to create his very own J.A.R.V.I.S. He knows that wasn't a documentary, right?

One year down the road, 2015 has gone by but not without modifications to the C++ lands. Several Technical Specification (TS) documents were published, and heavy work continues to go into both existing and new ones. Meanwhile, work is underway for what it is intended to be C++17... How you'll be rewriting your code for C++17
I'm surprised they're not overloading more keys and symbols. Still, it's early days.

I'm still using C++11 in my embedded stuff. Guess GCC don't think it's necessary to keep up with the bleeding edge?

I thought it supported some of the /14 features? Or have all those cool kids moved on to clang?

Still using Atmel Studio 6.2! I'm sure Atmel Studio is using a newer GCC version but it's to unstable right now to upgrade so been holding off.

Is it just the Atmel version that's flaking? I know the GCC/Clang people have been patting themselves on the back for being well ahead of MS in implementing C++11/14 features for the last few years; and haven't seen anyone else complain about stability.
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?
