News Server-Side Language Usage: ASP.NET Trails PHP (by a Lot!) In what might be seen as good news for Microsoft, its ASP.NET web development framework comes in at No. 2 in usage among server-side programming languages for web projects (even though it’s not a programming language) in one ranking. In what might be seen as bad news for Microsoft, ASP.NET is far, far behind the No. 1 language, PHP. Web-tech survey specialist W3Techs tracks such things on its site on pages such as “Historical yearly trends in the usage statistics of server-side programming languages for websites.” It includes rankings from January 2010 to the present. That 13-year plot shows PHP has always ranked first and… Source link

It was during a 1980 appearance on Soul Train, that host Don Cornelius summed up a handful of defining points that funk rebel Rick James earned—and would be saddled with—during his brief yet contradictory lifetime. “Our next guest is one of the most prolific songwriters, right? One of the most innovative producers. Certainly one of the most exciting and talented performers. And also one of the strangest men I’ve ever met.” This precedes an animated, some would say coked-up, performance of “Big Time,” where James instills the crowd with chants about “fire it up” right before Cornelius, who just minutes ago proselytized about this outlandishly candid performer, stoically puts an end to these… Source link

ArcherImage: FX On paper, tonight’s installment of Archer is a pretty wild mish-mash mess of discordant concepts: Gorillas? Skynet air conditioners? Internships?! And yet, blissfully, it all works—at least in part because Asha Michelle Wilson’s script doesn’t attempt to smash the three concepts together in any sort of ham-fisted way. Krieger (a.k.a. “Dr. God”) accidentally creating a murderous climate control system after being asked to implement environmentally friendly office thermostats is funny. Cheryl being in charge of a hapless intern is funny. Archer falling madly in love with an adorable animal—in this case, a gorilla the Agency is helping the U.N. transport back to its endangered family—is (always, always, always) funny. Each of these ideas is allowed to… Source link

The Texans have one more preseason game Saturday against Tampa Bay before they host Jacksonville in the first game of the regular season. I’m looking forward to the season, not because I think the Texans will be good but because they have so many new players and coaches, and I want to see how this team develops. The Chronicle’s Texans/NFL preview section comes out next week. I’m doing a story on the plan that’s being carried out by general manager Nick Caserio and coach David Culley, why they went with so many veterans rather than a lot of rookies. I hope you find it interesting as well as our stories in our annual football section, including predictions. I can’t wait to see if The King picks the Texans to win the Super Bowl again. On a side note,… Source link

With Andrei Svechnikov finally re-signed to a long-term deal, there’s only one unchecked box left on the Carolina Hurricanes’ offseason to-do list. There’s still a hole on the depth chart for one more skilled winger and about $4.5 million in cap space left to fill it. With a month to go before the first preseason game, it’s really a question of whether the Hurricanes want to spend that money now or preserve that flexibility to load up at the trade deadline. The most important skilled winger on the roster is Svechnikov, coming off a disappointing third season with the contract negotiations hanging over his head but at 21 still just scratching the surface of his extraordinary talent….

The target chamber at the National Ignition Facility of the Lawrence Livermore Lab is “where the magic happens,” these scientists said. Image via Jason Laurea/Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. The ability to harness fusion – the energy source of our sun and all stars – would be a game-changer for earthly power generation. Scientists have been seeking this holy grail of energy research for a century. On August 8, 2021, researchers at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) in California said they’ve made breakthroughs that place them at the threshold of fusion ignition. Their experiment focused laser light from LLNL’s National Ignition Facility – the size of three football fields – onto a target the size of a BB. The experiment produced a hotspot the… Source link
