Yeah sure, and if you like I can also clean the bathrooms because I know how to do it... Off-time is for your own not for your company regardless off what you do with it.

#793If IBM has one brain cell left, they'll pull a NeXT/Apple merger and let Red Hat executives start running the combined company. That is the one path to a real future for IBM instead of its slow decline into complete irrelevance.
Not likely according to CNBC interview [1]: > Rometty told CNBC that the deal should not be interpreted as part of any plan for her to transition out of her position as CEO at IBM. > "I'm still young and I'm not going anywhere," she told CNBC.

I seem to recall Gil Amelio once saying something similar...

In some courses publishing coursework on GitHub can break academic integrity rules related to plagiarism. It’s hurt students as more hiring processes assume portfolios. CS departments are behind the times.
Posting your coursework on a publicly available forum is clearly academic dishonesty, what are you talking about?
Am i taking crazy pills? How is publishing your work in any way dishonest?

#795I see that Linus retiring from kernel development for a few days has indeed massive consequences.

RH are good at a LOT of things but sales remains a bit of a weak point compared to Oracle and to a lesser degree IBM. Hopefully the RH guys can bring back a focus on technology to IBM while IBM figure out how to sell it to customers. PS: so will it be called Blue Hat?
Given that IBM are after the tech and will probably reject the culture (as also happened when Oracle ate Sun), I suggest an appropriate name would be... Old Hat (tm) ;)
"I'm still young and I'm not going anywhere," she told CNBC.

So you'd rather go back to Upstart or SysV? Really?
A: I'm not that fond of Ford cars. B: So you want to drive a horse-and-buggy then? That is to say, there are quite a number of modern inits that are not systemd. It's such a straw-man argument to bring up sysv init every time someone says something critical of systemd.
The false dichotomy was called out by the Uselessd Guy some years ago.

How on earth is Microsoft "absolutely" behind OSS? Which of their main products is Open Source? Windows? Office? SQL Server? Azure? Exchange? What exactly makes Microsoft a company "absolutely behind OSS?" Their stupid boot loader still ignores any other operating system for god's sake. Kudos to people at Microsoft's Marketing and "developer relations" department who won the hearts of developers by allowing TypeScrip…
I work in the public sector in Denmark, and we’ve delt a lot with both IBM and Microsoft over the past 25 years. Microsoft has been one of our best partners, including for the open source software we run, especially since Azure became their mission. IBM has been one of the worst, so bad that I’d dread making any deals with them ever again. I wouldn’t say MS is fully behind OSS though, they contribute a lot these year…

How is that, really?

No it doesn't, it stands for "This used to be sarcasm but I ruined it by telling you"
