Row upon row of microscopic hockey pucks etched into a silicon chip could hold the key to making quantum computers at practical scale and allow for un-crackable encrypted information to be sent over long distances. It's both sorry, and not sorry at the same time (until you collapse the wave function)

Please, someday I want to read one of these quantum computer stories where they dope the silicone with catnip.

Brain-computer interfaces have become a practical (if limited) reality in the US. Sadly, they went with SCSI and now they can't find a cable anywhere

Microsoft is now launching Viva Engage today, a new Facebook-like app inside Teams that encourages social networking at work. For those that like to look at coworkers' cat photos at work?

I can see this having a place in companies. Think about all the water cooler discussions and other social activities that occur in many companies and this fits right in with them.

20 years ago I contracted at a company that used "the office package that everyone legendarily hates" - anyway, so they had all of these user forums for all of their different company supported groups. Now mind you, fb is fb to mine data. Microsoft wants to be able to mine what companies are doing. You think there is some other reason why they want companies to go to the cloud and 365? Hmm.
Anyway, after announcement after announcement of awards to assorted groups: single moms, mixed this, mixed that. It doesn't really matter. We're talking 100s of thousands of dollars - some engineer commented, "Can we get some money for training and research?" and was told, "Get on the train or find another place...."
Company does not exist any more.
Microsoft made it's money with the OS and Office. I live in the embedded world and we are on Windows embedded. Not for much longer. FML.

A previous employer attempted to create that as an internal platform. It went about as well as you would expect.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Teams BLOWS.

It's terrible. The conversations are gated by IT settings and they expire. It's a steaming pile...
God, please let me retire before meeting Viva.

It was now obvious to most organizations that giving developers a choice in the tools they used enabled them to create more interesting and ultimately more interesting applications. Does "rock-paper-scissors" count as decision making?
|
|
|
|
|
Did it allow them to create more useful and ultimately more useful applications, too?
The difficult we do right away...

I moved forward - created an entire new computer - including CPU, video, music and so - as an emulator only... No burned fingers...

Hmmm,
Are you being serious or just joking? I would be super impressed if you've created an emulator. Qemu and Bochs are using a Cirrus emulated vga bios[^].
Do you have code I can look at?

Totally serious - originally I created a c64 emulator, and then moved on an turned it into a 'dream' computer...
It took me about 4 years - on/off... Now I'm at the point to cleaning it up and releasing to pulic domain...
At the end I was thinking to actually create it using FPGA...
A few more years probably...
