We'll, I wanted to do a quick little test before posting, so I didn't get trolled. I tried "site:" but that didn't work. After a little research, I found inurl.
I guess Google changed their website over the past couple of years. A good change as security has been increased.

The worst languages are one known as a cluster elephant (PHP) and 2 that are obsolete legacy crap (ASP and Cold Fusion). .Net and Java are both significantly better by about the same amount.
I can't say I'm surprised by either result. I am however curious about where newer buzzword compliant platforms (eg rails, node) stand.
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?

The easier the language, the dumber the (typical) practitioner. As always it all comes down to the skill of the developer. A bad tool in skilled hands can still work wonders.

Earlier this year, the specs for HTTP/2 — the successor to the HTTP protocol that powers the web — were finalized. But as with any technology that aims to replace such a fundamental part of the Internet, it takes a while before people adopt it. So, everything will take 1/2 the time? Or I'll only get half the content?

PHP is the language we love to hate and often hate to love. After celebrating it’s 20th birthday earlier this year, it's clearly here to stay, not least because version 7 arrived today. for_those_who_like_the_bleeding_edge()

Brilliant quote here.
I can’t even say what’s wrong with PHP, because— okay. Imagine you have uh, a toolbox. A set of tools. Looks okay, standard stuff in there.
You pull out a screwdriver, and you see it’s one of those weird tri-headed things. Okay, well, that’s not very useful to you, but you guess it comes in handy sometimes.
You pull out the hammer, but to your dismay, it has the claw part on both sides. Still serviceable though, I mean, you can hit nails with the middle of the head holding it sideways.
You pull out the pliers, but they don’t have those serrated surfaces; it’s flat and smooth. That’s less useful, but it still turns bolts well enough, so whatever.
And on you go. Everything in the box is kind of weird and quirky, but maybe not enough to make it completely worthless. And there’s no clear problem with the set as a whole; it still has all the tools.
Now imagine you meet millions of carpenters using this toolbox who tell you “well hey what’s the problem with these tools? They’re all I’ve ever used and they work fine!” And the carpenters show you the houses they’ve built, where every room is a pentagon and the roof is upside-down. And you knock on the front door and it just collapses inwards and they all yell at you for breaking their door.
That’s what’s wrong with PHP.

In Star Wars, the Rebel Alliance thought they were doing a good thing by destroying the Death Star. Little did they know the unintended consequences its destruction would have—notably, the complete and utter collapse of the Galactic Empire's economy. Because I know you were wondering about that
And now you're wondering, "How do I hook into those sweet, sweet research grants?"
Man, it's like I'm psychic or something, right?

"But really the best comparison I have is 2008, where we had this bailout of the banking sector." Which was a terrible mistake. Why? The best comparison I have is, you go in a casino, lose all your own plus your friend's money, and then run for mommy, crying to bail you out - the same mother you hate for all her rules she puts on you when everything goes well. Seriously, the financial area is so cancerous, opportunistic, and out of touch with reality, that I don't really care if banks are collapsing. After all, it's just money - all the people, all the machines, all the inventory of the industry will still be there afterwards.
The Tulip mania[^] is a good example on how to handle such situations much better - for the society.

Then again, the Death Star obliterated the economy of Alderaan.
I heard the Alderaan currency became absolutely worthless!

Apple is opening up the language, Swift, through a new website, Swift.org, and through GitHub. Developers outside of Apple will now be able to look inside of Swift, contribute to its development, and bring it to new platforms. Did Satya take over at Apple?

Codecademy just launched a new course that will teach you how to use the version control application Git. In the free two-hour course, you’ll learn how to create and manage a project with Git. git checkout git

git reset --hard
Sometime many months ago someone pointed me to a bunch of command line enhancements for git -- basically, commands that make git actually usable for more than pull and commit/push. Damned if I can't find that repo now!

No, the one I'm thinking about is completely a CL extension, lots of cool stuff for *nix, most (but not all) implemented for Windows.
I'll have to see how Git Extensions compares with SmartGit/Hg, which I've been using for a few years now.

Also, on Windows, the official Git client is now Git For Windows[^], not MSysGit (which is out of date).
Git for Windows comes in 32 and 64 bit variants with newer Git versions (2.0.0+)
