I've tried to actively go against the approach described in this article when I'm interviewing candidates. We allow thirty minutes for live pairing on a pretty generic task. Candidates are using their own device, so whatever OS; IDE etc they like, with desktop shared by video. The idea is to match the work environment as closely as possible, so all resources are available to them- Google; stack overflow; other people's public projects etc. We don't expect candidates to complete the exercise in the time available but we do see how they tackle it
