With the 1995 revision, the language also targeted general purpose systems and added support for object-oriented programming (OOP) while not losing sight of the core values of reliability, maintainability and efficiency. If you want to make sure they won't be able to find a replacement for you?
Yes, yes. Government programmers. Sure. See above.

Sure, Apple's iPhones lack 5G and added a lot of catch-up features, but the cameras are worth a look and the price in some cases is right. Keep in mind Apple's new game is to sell you services so it just needs to keep you in the fold. Just in case you need something new and shiny in your life
Oh hey, looks like Apple is coming up with their own Surface! (keyboard and pen)

Python 2 will sunset on January 1st 2020 – however, many applications have not yet upgraded to version 3, causing the coding lingo's team to mount a communications campaign to persuade devs to port their code. "I don't know where I'm going, but I sure know where I've been"

How could I believe that? Python 3 exists already more than 10 years, and still many scripts require Python 2.
There will be some "extended support" period of surely more than additional 10 years.
After all, the laws of physics and math did not change during the last decades, so why should anyone re-write their scripts dealing with physics or math?
Oh sanctissimi Wilhelmus, Theodorus, et Fredericus!

C++20 Concepts are now supported for the first time in Visual Studio 2019 version 16.3 Preview 2. This includes both the compiler and standard library support. In case you get the concept
"Concepts are predicates that you use to express a generic algorithm’s expectations on its template arguments."
Oh. Well, that makes perfect sense then.

This year’s annual phpDay Italian PHP conference in Verona ended with a surprisingly reflective talk from the original creator of PHP. Don't code in PHP?
Sorry, it's a perfectly functional language. I know some of you are unhappy with my negativity at times. It works. It's a little silly at times, but it works.
I do have to say though that every time I see his name, I think it's an anagram and start trying to figure out his actual name.

Don't get me wrong: The command line will always be important to sysadmins. But in many ways, it's being superseded by DevOps tools such as Ansible, Chef, and Puppet. Didn't we just have an item that the commandline was coming back?

Agreed - almost hilarious that they (BBC, Facebook, etc) don't see the irony in what they are trying to do when they shovel the same shill all the time. The MSM has totally destroyed it's credibility in amazing efforts of blatant bias. Same for Twitter, FB, and on. Now they are trying to find someway to re-gain their legitimacy, because their checkbooks are running dry...
