It will now be open for debate and amendment; another vote will occur in September. EU rejecting new regulations is news, isn't it?

An international team has developed a ground-breaking single-electron "pump". The electron pump device developed by the researchers can produce one billion electrons per second and uses quantum mechanics to control them one-by-one. "Pump it up, until you can feel it"

As the head of engineering at Atlassian, I’m part of a lot of interview panels (Like, a lot). I know I’ve got an above-average candidate sitting across from me when they start asking questions about the team they’d be joining. 'Will I be paid in many large, unmarked bills?', isn't one of them (heard from a friend)

I suppose one of his questions for candidates is: do you enjoy working for a company which seems intent on ensuring its products are never great?

It's always depressing reading those articles. My answer is "Nope!" to those 8 bullet points. So why do I work where I work? Aye, there's the rub!

I have determined that for myself the two most important questions I would ask are:
- Define leadership in one sentence or less.
- Define teamwork in one sentence or less.
If they can't adequately answer these two simple question, run.

I would demand a complete sentence - none of this "or less" nonsense. Far too many people speak in sentence fragments as it is.

Microsoft continues to advance the development of Visual Studio 2017, and their latest preview of 15.8 shows some important new features that will benefit most developers. Good news for people that edit a lot of carets?

Don't see "Fixed Intellisense crashing issue" on the list. (To be fair, support has maintained that there is no such bug and you can't fix what isn't broken. [Sarcasm tag])

A person's fingers leave thermal residue on keyboard keys that a malicious observer could record and later determine the text a user has entered on the keyboard, according to a recently published research paper by three scientists from the University of California, Irvine (UCI). Looks like his password has a lot of backspaces in it?

Con artists pushing tech-support scams are once again exploiting a Chrome bug that can give users the false impression they’re experiencing a serious operating-system error that requires the urgent help of a paid professional, according to a Google developer forum. A Mozilla developer forum indicates a similar bug may also be present in Firefox. Why am I not surprised that there's an "ms" in the front of that function name?

Multi-agent training creates all sorts of emergent gaming behavior. Then they came for the Quake players, and I did nothing as I play Unreal Tournament
I guess I should have gone with Fortnite? Isn't that what the kids are playing these days? Well, it's no Unreal Tournament...

In a series of experiments, we show that people often respond to decreases in the prevalence of a stimulus by expanding their concept of it. When blue dots became rare, participants began to see purple dots as blue; ... This “prevalence-induced concept change” occurred even when participants were forewarned about it and even when they were instructed and paid to resist it. Now I understand why I find Big Balls of Mud only instead of Clean Code...

It’s the smartphone conspiracy theory that just won’t go away: Many, many people are convinced that their phones are listening to their conversations to target them with ads. The good news: probably not. The bad news?
