If this is how they throw time and money away, what they need is a boss who'll kick their @rses for them!

Totally true. I've experienced this. Having such bosses just push you to arrive on time and go home on time, without giving anything to the Company (minimum effort) 
Usually a short transaction period where you start browsing LinkedIn to find a new job.

We’ve all been part of this debate about whether we should have an open-plan office or not. In general, executives would advocate for the open-plan office, while the individual contributors would say, “Please, no!!!” "What shall we use to fill the empty spaces where we used to talk?"

I turned down a 6-figure job once, simply and only because they had an "open-office", featuring a very large floor with a couple dozen large round tables that sat 6 employees each. The noise was deafening, even though few people were talking.

That's similar to a contract I turned down.
That one had straight tables, arranged as if they were putting on a wedding reception, with two low-level managers sitting in the centre of the top table, and team leaders either side of them.
I actually laughed out loud, right before I walked out.

Microsoft, the tech powerhouse once maligned as the “evil empire,” is engaged in a radical shift, taking on the mantle of corporate responsibility and civic leadership. Think of how much money they're not spending on lawyers these days

Then... They you spend it in bring quality back to was it was (or even better)

TBH, I think I'd be happier if they were to take on the mantle of software house, since that's all they are, and start doing that one job right, before "diversifying" into yet more vanity projects.

Agreed - I'm always about their hardware efforts. They seem to give up on most of them far too fast (keyboards and mice not included).

We would like to update you on the .NET Core 3.0 schedule and introduce you to improvements in .NET Core SDK installers, Docker containers, Range, and Index. We also have updates on the Windows Desktop and Entity Framework projects. This release brought to you by the number '3'
|
|
|
|
|
After careful reading I am little confused but hopeful.
Does that mean I can install Preview3 and that when the public release of .NET Core 3 is available everything should start working with it nicely and my preview SDK won't be a problem (Except wasted disk space)?
|
|
|
|
|
IANAL (or PM), but that's what it sounds like to me - when you install the gold version, it will overwrite the preview version.
However, they didn't say the magic words, "feature complete" that I could tell, so function signatures and whatnot may still change between now and then.
Not helpful, I know, sorry.

Users of mobile devices in 2018 faced what could be the strongest cybercriminal onslaught ever seen. Over the course of the year, we observed both new mobile device infection techniques (for example, DNS hijacking) and a step-up in the use of tried-and-tested distribution schemes (for example, SMS spam). Mobile is the new Windows?

Many users get mad on windows 10 so they start using smart phones and tablets more.
