While coding cutting-edge tech in Visual Studio is cool, it's not enough in today's environment of communication, collaboration, agile methodologies, DevOps and so on, said experts in a panel discussion at the Live! 360 conference in Orlando. It also involves compiling!

Followed by bugs, blaming, CYA, and for those who do CYA best, promotion to management. 
Though, that's so 20th century. Here's the 21st century version:
Followed by product delivery, followed by management still not happy and wants to use some new fangled technology, followed by senior developers raising objections, followed by management hiring hotshot young kids, followed by senior developers leaving to start their own contracting business, followed by product delivery (by the young kids) that misses schedules, has cost overruns, and is delivered with bugs, followed by management still not happy.
It's a brave and complicated new world!

A team of researchers with the University of Southern California and the Wake Forest School of Medicine has conducted experiments involving implanting electrodes into the brains of human volunteers to see if doing so might improve memory recall. Will this help me to remember not to get wires shoved into my brain?
It does make me wonder if it would be possible using non-wire means though. Magnets or summut.

Cool. One of the people involved in this project is an acquaintance of mine.
I knew he was working on this and had been expecting results 'soon' earlier in the year; but I hadn't heard he'd published yet. 
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?

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.

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.

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.

@Kent-Sharkey Update your calendar, I'll be expecting the article in the next days insider.

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).
In order to understand stack overflow, you must first understand stack overflow.

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