Go has had a strong influence from P9-flavoured C; the first Go compiler was derived directly from P9 CC, and it took the route of generating machine code rather than using a bytecode VM; instead opting for near-trivial cross-compilation (again, very much in P9 style). Even the Go CI/CD workers ran on Plan 9 (I don't know if they still do).
Plan 9 has also had a very strong influence on wmii, dwm, and suckless.org in general; the suckless people consider C and rc as the least-sucky programming languages. There are some pretty strong ties/cross-influences between suckless, 9front, cat-v (RIP Uriel), etc.
Meanwhile 9front is de facto the only community seriously dedicated to carrying the torch. It just looks like Inferno/Limbo (despite having actually been deployed in production by Lucent) turned out to be a dead-end after all.
Vita Nuova is still up, so some people are using it somehow and keep the infrastructure running.
Also even though it started as an anti-Sun/Java project from Bell Labs, it was also taken as an opportunity to fix Plan 9 design errors.
Rob Pike for example, has some quotes on how he thinks it was a mistake not to add automatic memory managemet to Alef, and going back to C replacing Alef.
Inferno's approach to a fully managed userspace with a JIT, something that in modern times ChromeOS and Android is what we have closest to in mainstream computing, is also why there are some Limbo features not yet available in Go, like proper plugins (the current package isn't really it), although maybe one could argue net/rpc is the answer there.
Plus, the personal data on a resume is likely high-quality and accurate because the job seeker is incentivized to be contact-able. High value PII and it's just being handed over...
I was advised by a few recruiters to remove all PII from my resume but my email, both for privacy reasons and because it's better to funnel all offers to the same location. I still keep my phone number on there, but if someone really wants my data, it's remarkably easy to find, so I am not really doing much by just removing it from my resume. Oddly, I've had a few people actually try to find more PII on me and fail miserably. They claimed to be good at it, and should have known enough to find at least my legal name with ease. Used to be able to find old AIM conversations of mine if you knew what to search for (or got lucky).
Same here. The Spanish edition of PC Mag included Core Linux. It was the most pleasant install experience in much, much time (next, next, next, finish)
Next step: embed Bellard's JSLinux (https://bellard.org/jslinux/) and have a fullblown OS with development environment, office suite and all inside a PDF.
