The first was to use the implant to listen for and record electrical activity in the brain while the volunteers engaged in memory exercises. The second part involved mimicking the signals that had been recorded in the first part
So, I immediately see several new applications:
1) Even if you have forgotten your password, your brain can now be stimulated to remember it.
2) Authentication by brain electrical pattern
3) "Dial a memory" - how does this work in Python? What are all those obscure docker command line arguments? What's my mistress' name again?
And of course the inevitable negative applications:
1) Upon entering your place of work, all memories unrelated to work will be suppressed.

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.

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)

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).

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

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.
