Now THERE is a song I've not heard in a long while!

Hmm,
"Automated news generation has become a major interest for news agencies,"
So they are not interested in reporting news?

Given that Windows 10 was already pretty polished when it launched, and only got better over time, why the need for a whole new version? "This one goes to 11"
And I'm going to keep using that until Win12 darkens my door

But even then... they tried really hard to go backwards from time to time.

Google Search is no longer officially supporting Internet Explorer 11, marking the beginning of the end for Microsoft’s now-ancient browser. Forcing people to use Bing? That's just cruel.
Actually, it looks like you just get the "old" Google results page - the ones without all the ads and sturm und drang. I may have to change my User Agent.

We're kicking off a short new series that shows some of the smaller, but cool, things we can do in .NET 6 with some new framework features. Because sometimes you just don't have the time to deal with a date (or vice versa)

Low-code application development isn't just for simple applications anymore. It is now the basis of larger enterprise apps and tools for digital transformation. Management is high and morale is low?
I know, I know. Low-code "gets that job done". Except when it doesn't, so you end up writing logarithmically more code to get it to work. At least that's what happened with the Access Point of Sale app I worked on.

Microsoft and AMD already have a strong relationship with collaborations spanning multiple product lineup including Azure, Surface, Windows and Xbox. If everyone else has their own chips, will you do it as well?

With the advent of W11, I pretty much have lost all faith that the computer I use today and have used for years and that I have absolutely no reason to replace can still work with the newest OS's coming down the pike in the future.
While I'm pretty much an anti-upgrader, I do find this "you must have this kind of processor and this kind of chipset" requirement for W11 pretty much just results in a fu attitude towards Microsoft and more generally, chip manufacturers.
So go ahead, Microsoft. Collaborate with AMD. Apple went that way for a while, then turned to Intel, then turned back to ARM. Like I give a hoot what anyone in the industry actually does anymore.

Blue Origin confirmed it today, describing Shatner as, among other things, a “horseman.” At 90 years young, he will also be the oldest person to ever travel to space. Going boldly, of course

Here's an Atari ST that's been in daily use since 1985 as a general-purpose business machine at a campground, complete with software written by its single careful owner Who says the good die young?

I'd be amazed if there weren't still BBC Micros and Commodore 64s still in daily use (possibly inside grey boxes that have just carried out working without anyone knowing what was inside).
There are probably other STs still doing music stuff.
And there's gotta be at least one ZX81 doing something important in a power station somewhere.

Back in 1980+something I wrote a stock control program for a small TV shop on a Commodore PET (80-column business model) with twin 5 1/4" floppy drives for storage. It was still being used until the owner of the shop died suddenly in 2018. Up until 1990 (when I left England on a permanent basis), he still, fairly regularly, left me messages asking for extra features - that he didn't think he had to pay any extra for.

It's amazing, the pervasiveness of that type of thinking.

Software engineers are growing increasingly more concerned over the reliability of their software, according to Haystack Analytics. Better late than never?
