It’s been almost 20 years since Microsoft released the first version of the C# language. From its inception—when some unjustly deemed it a mere Java copycat—until now, C# has had a remarkable evolution. "And remember my friend, future events such as these will affect you in the future."

At Mozilla we’re excited about the potential of speech recognition. We believe this technology can and will enable a wave of innovative products and services, and that it should be available to everyone. Maybe it's time for a voice interface for CP?

Cloud9 isn’t all that different from similar IDEs and editors like Sublime Text, but as AWS stressed during today’s keynote, it allows for collaborative editing and it’s also deeply integrated into the AWS ecosystem. The tool comes with built-in support for languages like JavaScript, Python, PHP and others. Cloud9 also includes pre-installed debugging tools. This way to the walled garden

According to a paper published in IEEE Transactions on Computational Social Systems by researchers at Notre Dame University, some 73 percent of posts on Reddit are voted on by users that haven’t actually clicked through to view the content being rated. Not that this kind of behaviour would ever happen here

Much buzz accompanied the release of .NET Core 2.0 this summer, but it's actually not the best .NET implementation target to choose for all projects. Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of multiple platforms; or by ignoring them, shipping something

You are targeting microservices
That's my #3 reason.
You want to run your Web apps on Linux
That's my #2 reason.
You are using Docker containers
That's my #1 reason.
And reason #0, which the article didn't exactly quite explicitly outright state:
*nix is finally viable as a development platform for me, because I can now code in C#! I wonder if, in the long run, Microsoft is shooting itself in the foot by providing C#/.NET for a non-Windows platform. As a developer, that's been my main reason to not even consider *nix as an OS for, well, everything. Now if only there was a decent *nix desktop. They're all crappy to some degree or other, IMO.

My favorites are (in no particular order): KDE, XFCE, and LXDE. I've also heard good things about the Cinnamon Desktop.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

Gnome3 is the relative grown-up.
But if you're using something other than BASH, you're wasting your time (or more precisely, your clock cycles).

The amount of profit they earn from Windows per se is comparatively small these days, as opposed to their applications that run on Windows. For them now, the cloud is the big thing. Windows remains important to host stuff in the cloud but otherwise "we can accommodate everyone else now and still make money" is the strategy. That's why they've become increasingly friendly to non-MS platforms and technology.
