We're just now getting around to installing 2016, and we still have several 2008R2 and 2012 servers in use...

Us, too. The damn 2008s keep magically appearing on the network, despite us decomming a whole bunch over the past two years. I think they're breeding in the damp corners.

While most programmers use floating point indiscriminately anytime they want to do math with real numbers, because of certain limitations in how these numbers are represented, performance and accuracy often leave something to be desired. Because 355/113 ought to be enough for everyone
Actually a proposed FP storage replacement, but I do miss the integers-only "discussions"

If you're a numerical nutter like me, this is fun stuff -- but it's not for the faint of cross-feint paper.
Interestingly* google translate translates the Italian "dare numeri" literally as "give numbers".
Now go ask an Italian what it means.

A survey of 1000 UK workers has investigated the time of day we feel most creative, finding that 11:05am is the “average time for optimum creativity”. This explains why my only good blurbs are written between 11:05:10 and 11:05:11

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

So in order to get VPNs to work, you have to enable ms' telemetry?
How much did the security services and the DoJ pay ms for this bug?

During an interview on CNN this morning, Bill Gates touched on his thoughts on Steve Jobs. Gates praised Jobs’ design sensibility and how he was Apple to save Apple from collapsing. Eye of Newton and toe of frog (design)...

This protocol design means that a user's DNS requests are invisible to third-party observers, such as ISPs; and all DoH DNS queries and responses hidden inside a cloud of encrypted connections, indistinguishable from the other HTTPS traffic.
In theory, the protocol is a dream from privacy advocates, but a nightmare for ISPs and makers of network security appliances.
The internet sees censorship as damage and routes around it.

Who steals my location data steals trash.
The fact that companies can become the biggest companies in the world just by conning other companies to buy this essentially useless data never ceases to amaze me -- and I'm pleased to see that many suckers companies are beginning to realise that the extremely meagre benefits attained from buying this data are far outweighed by the costs involved in purchasing and processing it.
Mind you, it wouldn't surprise me if government offices were among their biggest customers.
