Codenamed as “Cohorts”, it will allow Microsoft to create a group of passionate people with a common area of expertise. This way the company can easily sort the feedback accordingly. Listening to people?

With their insensitivity to decoherence, Majorana particles could become stable building blocks of quantum computers. M-m-m-m-majorana (fermions)

A shortage of GPUs, coupled with spiking prices, is causing problems for radio astronomers They lost money on it too?

Astronomers are new to the concept of how increased demand increases prices?

The fundamental problem is that the barrier between using a computer and programming a computer is getting higher. In my day, we had to program uphill through snowdrifts. In both directions!

Learning to program is not hard, it is expecting people to program in a fully defined environment with a graphical front end, libraries, etc. that makes it hard.
Would any of us think that the vehicle we learn to drive in will be an 18-wheeler or a tank? While some may, that it not the case for most. You start smaller, with something you can manage and then build up.
How about learning program with something simple? Learn the basics, then expand.
Provide them with an environment where they actually have to type in the code, not drag objects onto a screen.
I'd suggest the C64 Mini (whenever it comes out) because it will have a version of BASIC on it, but I'm afraid all people would use it for is a game machine.
And then.. they'd post in QA, "Show me how to write the game..." but not post what they've tried.

Agreed... and thank you for the release date.. I've been watching for it.
Started programming on a Commodore PET in high school; bought my own C-64 in college.

It has a non-functioning keyboard though, so you'll have to use a third party tool (like CBM prg Studio) and then 'upload' your program to it.
|

Can an standard USB keyboard be used? That was my initial impression.

I'd like to say "let's hope so" but I'm not sure.

The social media campaign against crypto was carried out by Central Bank of Poland in conjunction with Polish Youtube partner network Gamellon, Google Ireland Limited, and Facebook Ireland Limited, allocating about 91,000 zloty (around $27,000) for producing anti-crypto content. Two big names who claim to stand for innovation and progress, paying money to prevent just that

In my line of work there is no such thing as "overly" defensive programming because the second you let your guard down (programming wise) very bad things can happen and nearly always do.

The firm has disclosed another security flaw in Microsoft Edge, after the Redmond giant failed to fix it in the allotted time. I'm sure this is entirely unrelated to the new Browser Wars(tm)
Edge is all the way up over 4% market share (on desktop).

What if light particles could be made to interact, attracting and repelling each other like atoms in ordinary matter? Does it mean we can bring back those cool black light posters?
