Mike is fired up by a topic that has been on fire over all of 2014.

Is it finally time to let the other 95% of great programmers in?

Builder, An IDE of our GNOME | Indiegogo

By creating an IDE like Builder we create an answer to the question of “How do I get started?” We want to include many features in Builder, but one important feature is integrating tutorials inside of the IDE. We want to be able to teach new contributors in the same place they will create software.

Microsoft is building a new browser as part of its Windows 10 push

There’s been talk for a while that Microsoft was going to make some big changes to Internet Explorer in the Windows 10 time frame, making IE “Spartan” look and feel more like Chrome and Firefox.

It turns out that what’s actually happening is Microsoft is building a new browser, codenamed Spartan, which is not IE 12 — at least according to a couple of sources of mine.

Spartan is still going to use Microsoft’s Chakra JavaScript engine and Microsoft’s Trident rendering engine (not WebKit), sources say. As Neowin’s Brad Sams reported back in September, the coming browser will look and feel more like Chrome and Firefox and will support extensions. Sams also reported on December 29 that Microsoft has two different versions of Trident in the works, which also seemingly supports the claim that the company has two different Trident-based browsers.

However, if my sources are right, Spartan is not IE 12. Instead, Spartan is a new, light-weight browser Microsoft is building.

Microsoft open sources .NET, takes it to Linux and OS X | Ars Technica

Microsoft open sourced a big chunk of .NET, publishing its new compiler, Roslyn, and many .NET libraries under the Apache license. Today, the company took that same open sourcing effort a great deal further. Microsoft announced that its full server .NET stack, including the just-in-time compiler and runtime and the core class libraries that all .NET software depends on, will all be open sourced.

The code will be hosted on GitHub and published under a permissive MIT-style license.

With this release, Microsoft wants to make sure that the .NET stack is fully functional and production quality on both Linux and OS X. The company is working with the Mono community to make sure that this platform is “enterprise-ready.”

Programming Sucks

So no, I’m not required to be able to lift objects weighing up to fifty pounds. I traded that for the opportunity to trim Satan’s pubic hair while he dines out of my open skull so a few bits of the internet will continue to work for a few more days.

• Skilled Jobs Are Difficult to Fill – WSJ.com

\”There\’s a tremendous shortage of skilled workers,\” said Craig Giffi, a vice chairman of the consulting firm Deloitte. A recent survey it did found that 83% of manufacturers reported a moderate or severe shortage of skilled production workers to hire.

• Microsoft Says 6,000 Jobs Open, Wants More Visas – Windows –

\”We are creating unfilled jobs,\” said Microsoft chief counsel Brad Smith, speaking at a forum on immigration policy at the Brookings Institution in Washington, D.C. \”We have a shortage.\”

Smith said Microsoft currently has 6,000 openings, 3,400 of which are for software engineers, developers, programmers, and the like. He said Microsoft can\’t fill many of the positions because it is unable to find enough applicants with the high-tech skills it needs in key areas like cloud computing and mobility.

The Department of Defence has signalled it’s dramatically increasing the size of its Cyber Command, but things are never as simple as it sounds.

You might have heard that this new “comprehensive” immigration reform being worked on hinges on increased border security that relies heavily on drones to hunt illegal immigrants. We look at the numbers.

And why the US might be in hot water over it’s excessive use of drones around the world very soon.
