The new study from the Brookings Institution used government data on work tasks to track how use of digital tools changed in a wide range of occupations between 2002 and 2016. Because even the robots don't want to mess with those macros?

The dominant theme of C# 7.2 centers on improving expressiveness around working with structs by reference. "The man who lives the span, he is something."

Wow. I'm so excited, my struct is becoming referenced.

This is cool, and will be a good tool in the box.

Has anyone written up a text explanation? Outside of GUI designer tools I almost never find dev videos a useful medium of information exchange.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

That was my first thought too when I clicked on the link - oh geez, a freakin' video. I watched the first 7 minutes, skipped forward, got the idea.
Apparently (from that link):
In the December 15 issue of the MSDN Magazine, Stephen Toub will go into even more detail on Span and how to use it.

MSDN mag has solid content.
When I grumble about what you post it's because you went with low quality clickbait site content to get the total up on a slow news day.

In many cases, Google will display estimated salary ranges plucked from multiple sources (including Glassdoor, LinkedIn and PayScale) whether or not the listing itself mentions pay. If a position represents a big raise, you'll know very quickly. Is that including tips?
Yeah, US-only (for now, I hope)

On November 16th, between 8PM and 10PM Eastern, SpaceX is sending a secret payload called "Zuma" beyond our atmosphere. Launching that 'beverage' into space is for the best
Oh wait, that was Zima.

My first project will be a programming assistant floating about in your VS and commenting on your code and what you should do next. His default message will be: "My first guess, your code sucks!" Not to be derivative, but I will call him: Snippy (official name: Snippit - Visual Studio Assistent).
In order to understand stack overflow, you must first understand stack overflow.

True, but let's be honest.. even newly created empty project is.

Microsoft continues to build best all-in-one dev ops platform for mobile development. If Johnny programmed off a bridge, would you do it too?

Isn't VS Code just Atom with a few bells and Microsoftisms? (Too lazy this morning to do a search) That would explain the synchrony.

I'm too lazy to check too -- we are obviously software devs -- but you may very well be correct about the two being the same thing.
Maybe everything is the same thing. It's all just forked off github.

The Pentagon is a software-intensive workplace. Why are we getting all these pull requests from China and Russia?
|
|
|
|

I guess that's one way of getting around the embarrassment of wikileaks. Just make everything open source! Oh wait, this is the Pentagon, not the NSA. Well, same difference.
|
|

|

Why are those pull requests full of stuff like:
((Processor*)(((int*)(void*)this) + 1147))->execute(*datablob)
... such stuff as dreams are made on
