Quite likely - but then again, who at the level that creates the open-plan office has to actually sit in it? They always plan these horrors behind what their victims would lack: closed doors!

Quote: there was no effect for background library noise
It looks like they performed the study in a library. Maybe open-plan offices just need someone to go around and shushing everyone who is too loud

One of the most nerve-racking parts of the interview process is the whiteboard test. Although developers and tech pros fear the interviewer who asks them to solve a problem on a whiteboard, things are clearly changing. Recruiters and companies are placing greater emphasis on other tests of candidates’ problem-solving abilities. Much better than when we were judged on our looks

This is a brief introduction to our new Data-Oriented Tech Stack (DOTS), sharing some insights in how and why we got to where we are today, and where we’re going next. We’re planning on posting more about DOTS on this blog in the near future. 'Let's make {language x} faster than C++', Part {Every language since C++}
"We will slowly but surely port every piece of performance critical code that we have in C++ to HPC#. It’s easier to get the performance we want, harder to write bugs, and easier to work with."

Genius. Company data will be so much more secure when its stored on hundreds of other random computer ledgers vs behind those stone-age firewalls. All those crypto wallet places have proven to be impenetrable. Its clear these C-Level execs have a full grasp of the blockchain concept. Next up, we should start sending all our customers information to a facebook cloud.

Coinomi wallet bug sends users' secret passphrases to Google's Spellcheck API via HTTP, in plaintext. It's just a public service. They wanted to make sure you spelled '123456' correctly

With this release, we’re introducing two product “channels”: the release channel and the preview channel. Starting today, Visual Studio 2019 RC is available in the release channel (visualstudio.com/downloads) and Visual Studio 2019 Preview 4 is available in the preview channel (visualstudio.com/preview). Both versions can be installed and used side-by-side and, right now, both channels contain the same bits. Because you deserve a lengthy install today
