The Linux Foundation’s 2017 Open Source Jobs Report confirms that the hiring market for developers with open source skills is hot, hot, hot. Sharing code is a skill now?

What the heck is "open source skills?" Creating a GitHub account and posting a pet project?
According to this article, (yes, I actually googled "what are open source skills") they are:
- Developers
This could include skills like Linux, Unix, Apache, Hadoop and other open source platforms that span technology areas like software development, big data, data center technology and security.
- DevOps
they are more reliant than ever on open source code and projects, and the talent to integrate it with backend cloud services, and to transform hardware-centric solutions into 'software defined' technology,
- Cloud Tech
OpenStack, CloudStack and other cloud-centric technologies were cited as areas of focus by 51 percent of hiring managers surveyed.
- Networking
Networking, too, is in high demand, with 21 percent of hiring managers looking for talent with those skills
- Storage
he need to access data, files and information shared via networking, by multiple users from multiple locations, from shared resources in the cloud means a perfect storm of demand for distributed storage talent
And this relates to open source how? Oh yeah:
Much of the demand is driven by the fact that open source code is an integral part of today's connected digital world
OK. Finish the thought for me. Here's a hint -- it's still code and usually poorly documented apps, that requires training to become skilled at. No different than closed source, except that open source, support is worse (but you could pay for it sometimes) and the apps, dependencies, etc., are all moving targets.
Oh, and let's not forget those pesky license agreements.

That's not ethical. The ethical thing to do is to stop in a straight line so people can predict its trajectory.

Fun fact: if you’ve got a child under the age of ten, hashtags are officially older than them. Before then, it just wasted space on the keyboard?
Ignoring IRC, its use in HTTP, and HTML. And those poor C programmers just couldn't include anything.

No, you're not! It drives me batty.

for sure, you're not the only one.
what bugs me is that some, maybe most(for sure not all) people when they say for instance #resist or whatever they think they are so wise and sh*t like that, and more often then not they are the same people that comment and share articles on various media based purely on the title.
There were some tests done by various people one of them being Ryan Holiday that put many such fake articles on media and they got tons of shares and comments, but in the article there was nothing about the title of the article. Conclusion people just share and comment on stuff that they think will make them look better somehow, without even looking at the said article. I don;t know if I should laugh or cry.

The '#' character is typographically called an octothorpe[^]. One of its colloquial names is a "hash" character.
Attaching a hash character to a search term creates either an "octothorpe prefixed search term" or a "hashtag".
Do you want to spend the rest of your life using 28 characters(*) to refer to this concept, or 7?
(*) especially when no one else will understand what you're getting on about

Makes me think of #ish

I just tell the hashtag people to #sand.

Companies that fail to enforce security policies must be prepared to handle the consequences. Does this mean I have to stop writing my password on my monitor?

If the net security of the company has more holes than a Gruyère cheese, then it doesn't matter at all if you have the password on a post it.

Eclipse aCute is one of the newest community projects brought into the Eclipse Tools Project ecosystem. It is a language based extension that provides development tools for C# and .NET Core inside the Eclipse IDE. For those who prefer Eclipse (and to them I say, "Really. Really? Really?!")

In a Channel 9 video, Mads Torgersen has demonstrated the first four features for C# 8. Extend all the things!

So, shall we create Channel 8 to enable reviewing C# 9.0 when it comes out?
(I I love love it it when when my my humor humor is is channeled channeled as as a a 10.0 10.0!  )
