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

.net is like twenty years old now and needs to be completely replaced.

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?

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.

I knew this was right in your alley. Didn't understood what OP said, don't understand your post either.

Business people waste an average of 15 minutes on each conference call they make simply getting started or dealing with distractions throughout the call. This wasted time costs US and UK businesses over $34 billion/£26 billion according to a new report. Can you hear me now?

Pfft, the whole meeting is a waste of time.

How much more time would be wasted if the individuals actually got in a car / plane / train (delete as appropriate) and attended the meeting in person? And how much more would that cost? I think the 15 minutes wasted is a drop in the ocean compared to the hours or days (it may require an overnight stay if sufficiently far away) to attend in person.
Very mis-leading.

I do like the conference calls we have when one person is late.
The leader of the call then states; I'll just get bob he's on the desk next too me. (much confusion and mumbling is had on our side to why he's late).
Every day, thousands of innocent plants are killed by vegetarians.
