Microsoft's claim of not many people using drag and drop needs to be backed by actual telemetry numbers. My suspicion is that not many Microsoft developers use it.

Use of "Lenna" image in computer image processing research stretches back to the 1970s. They're tired of their kid brother stealing their copy of Transactions on Antennas and Propagation
Not to mention the pages stuck together[1].
[1] He likes to eat baklava and caramel corn while reading them
Sorry to those offended by the barest mention of that publication[2].
[2] IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation, of course. Fans of Microwave and Optical Technology Letters will no doubt be offended.

When I was a kid my older cousins were talking about Playboy and similar as "magazines that you read with only one hand"
Me (somewhen between 5 and 7 years old): And with the other hand... you change the page?  
How easy and nice was the world back then...

Echoing the past two years of Rust evangelism and C/C++ ennui, Google reports that Rust shines in production, to the point that its developers are twice as productive using the language compared to C++. Is faster better?
I guess for management it is

Called Voice Generation, the model has been in development since late 2022 and powers the Read Aloud feature in ChatGPT. They're waiting for someone to think of a non-malicious use of it before they release it

So is this 73 million new social security numbers or are they the same social security numbers stolen from Equifax a few years ago?

Why didn't they include a graphic that had Ionosphere labeled? Does it include some of the ones that were labeled on the graphic? Journalism at its best. Would say the same thing if it was MSNBC or CNN too, so it isn't a political thing.

I think it’s time to put a lot of the legacy of the 8086 to rest, and let the modern processors run free. Who needs backward compatibility?
I would put money that there's more than one company still relying heavily on Lotus 1-2-3 and WordPerfect 5.1

I had a customer that bought all hardware he found in Ebay from Step 5 Automation... I bet he is still running it and it got officially out of "replacement guarantee" in 2008.

Intel has already announced that the legacy 16 bit "real mode" will be going away in their next chip design. However, Intel has also recognized there is still a lot of 16-bit software, so instead of dumping "real mode" entirely, it will be moved into a virtual processor and emulated by the virtual machine's hardware.
|
|
|
|
|
Does that mean that the new chips without real mode will be unable to run real time operating systems?
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

You can run it in a virtual machine.

That is a great movie - I have spread it to quite a number of my friends and contacts.
There are people who are not getting the point even after watching this movie.

RTOS systems are already running in Intel protected modes. Remember, the only requirement for an RTOS that isn't in a general purpose system is that from the response to an event has a predetermined time to occur, regardless of other system requirements. Even OpenVMS could be tuned to become a real-time operating system. I know, I worked on an OpenVMS system that met the requirements of a RTOS.
Real mode in the x86 line of processors is nothing more than a chip level memory management scheme, one that doesn't support virtual memory.
