2015 was the year Linux and open-source software took over the IT world, but many open-source and proprietary software fans still haven't figured it out. Did I miss The Year Of Linux?

What did they win?

It has nothing to do with Linux as Os but Linux as a symbol of open-source...In 2015 we saw that software giants (Microsoft, Apple) finaly started to release their code - and a lot of smaller companies took the same approach...It is definitely a triumph for the open-source community...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Java has won the TIOBE Index programming language award of the year. This is because Java has the largest increase in popularity in one year time (+5.94%). Seeing as how the runner up was VB.NET, I'm calling shenanigans
Although I imagine Java is probably the most commonly used language these days

I have always been highly suspicious of TIOBE rankings. It may be that other parts of the world are somewhat different, but these really don't seem to gel with my experience around here (Bristol, UK).

Scott Hanselman (of Microsoft) has a similar question on his web site[^]
Quote: Describe, in as much detail as you think is relevant, as deeply as you can, what happens when I type "cnn.com" into a browser and press "Go".
"There are two ways of constructing a software design: One way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies, and the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies. The first method is far more difficult." - C.A.R. Hoare

Well, let's see. First, you're browser provider logs that you're going to CNN. Then it sends that information off to the NSA, which forwards it to the FBI and CIA. This goes into a database, along with your IP, that Snowden has hacked. It eventually appears somewhere on a wiki for everyone to see.
Meanwhile, the ad agencies at the server notice your request and your IP. They then query their own databases and Google for your geographic location, your online purchases, pr0n site visits, and so forth, and figure out what ads target your particular interests. These ads are injected into the page that cnn responds with.
Oh wait, you wanted to talk about DNS and routing and IP addresses and firewalls and port forwarding and NAT and all that?

A new JavaScript-based ransomware spotted in the wild uses the NW.js framework to infect victims; it's likely cross-OS compatible, meaning Windows, Linux and Mac users could be infected; Ransom32 is being sold on the dark web as ransomware-as-a-service in exchange for a 25% cut of the ransom profits.

Ever watch Iron Man and think to yourself: “Hey, where’s my artificially intelligent digital assistant from the future?” It looks like Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg had that exact experience recently, as he just announced on Facebook that he’s looking to create his very own J.A.R.V.I.S. He knows that wasn't a documentary, right?
