Prakhar Khanna/ZDNETThe Bose QuietComfort series has been my go-to travel headphones since the company released the QuietComfort 35. However, in my quest for better noise cancellation, I tried out Sony’s WH-1000XM5, which also features a sturdier build than the QC45 headphones. However, while testing the Sony headphones, I realized that the grass wasn’t always greener. I missed the folding earcup design of the Bose headphones, and I’m glad the company has stuck with it for the Bose QuietComfort Ultra More

David Gewirtz/ZDNETOver the past few months, we’ve taken a comprehensive deep dive into the popularity of programming languages. Also: The most popular programming languages in 2024But how do you measure popularity? That’s been a big part of the question. Is it the number of GitHub projects? Is it the number of posts on popular programming forums? Is it based on surveys? What really determines the popularity of programming languages? Also: The rise and fall in programming languages’ popularity since 2016 – and what it tells usToday we will look at the one factor that ultimately matters the most to people: where are the jobs? Research methodsMy research methodology was pretty straightforward. I went to the most popular job boards and searched for each programming language by name. This analysis reflects a snapshot of language demand in early November 2024. Several job sites don’t provide a total for search results, so I skipped those. I settled in on three sites that provided good counts of the number of job listings based on the terms I searched for. Those sites were Dice, Indeed, and LinkedIn. Also: The best AI for coding, and a bunch that failed miserablyIt’s important to understand what our search data tells us. When I search for a term like SQL, the job site’s search engine returns every job offer that contains the word SQL in its listing. Those results might include a Python programming job where they list SQL, too. The results might also include a basic web admin job with SQL in the job listing. So, in this article, I’m not saying that the sites show a specific count of job openings for SQL programmers. Instead, I’m saying SQL has shown up in a search result, indicating how important hiring managers think it is for you to know this language to qualify for a certain job in their organization. That interpretation of results applies to every language in this article. More
