I believe the HomeOS will be a big thing in the near future and IMHO has taken a long time to really gain credibility. But as with all things uSoft does they always enter late in the game@

Agreed, on all three. I would definitely love to see Microsoft actually start (and more importantly stick with) a trend again.

CentOS project lead Karanbir Singh and a handful of other core CentOS developers are employed full-time by Red Hat. As a result, the CentOS project will become another distribution and community cared for by Red Hat, like Fedora.
If you can't beat 'em, hire 'em.

I use it on a couple machines here at $work. I like it just fine for a production server.

The Internet is a part of our everyday lives. To have active and positive digital lifestyles, we all must play a role in helping to create a better Internet. So Microsoft wants to know: what is the one thing you will do to stay safer online? 1: I told you all about this site. I'm done.

Microsoft programming language climbs into the top 10 of monthly Tiobe language popularity index Is it April 1 already?

Right, and those language surveys are so reliable.

I recently moved from mostly C# to mostly VB.NET but I don't think I am (statistically) significant.
|
|
|
|
|
There can be no other explanation. You bear the blame

Yay - I look forward to a similar result in the "people cycling to work" and "people eating rice" surveys as I did both of those today too.
|

It wouldn't be hard to convince me that one developer switching from C# to VB.NET is statistically significant!
I don't expect there are that many of those.
|
|
|
|
|
I'll offset that. I went to just about all C# from VB.NET.
It doesn't matter to me. I make money writing code no matter what language is specified.

To be honest I am pretty much polyglot - although I do have to look up the different syntax for generics and interfaces... but VB.Net has improved since I was last here.

Well, I suppose this will get the anti-VB zealots going.

Joining an open-source community isn't required to land a development job, but it could help Do stuff for free to do stuff for pay

I don't know who these hiring managers are. But if I get a candidate that talks up open-source involvement my first reaction is... "so?"

I can see that if it's used as a way to vet someone's work. See if you like the way they do things and you can also see if they know what they say they do.

See, even if it were to be used as a sort of 'portfolio' I wouldn't know if they were really the ones who did the work. (Decades of people lying in interviews have made me awfully cynical.)

Right on, brother.
The guy I replaced here was some indiot who had someone else do his phone interview.
|
|
|
|
|
Ever interview one over the phone who has a room full of helpers that he repeats the question to, who then go googling?
It's ridiculous.
The second time I just started asking OUTLANDISH crap to see what they'd say.
Pathetic.
|
|
|
|
|
I haven't heard of that happening until now but will be on the lookout for it in the future.
|
|
|
|
|
The repeat out loud of the question (for them to start researching) and the dramatic pause are easy to hear once you start listening for them.
"So what you're asking me is..." etc.
|
|
|
|
|
You've a point.
