They're talking about SQL server, not the server OS.
BTW, if you're still running win7, the newest version of sql server you can install on it is 2014. Ask me how I know.

Machines are learning how to cook given only an image of our favorite pizza dishes. Whichever one is in front of me?

Except for the ones involving chicken.

And this is what it's spent on?

C# 7 laid the groundwork for pattern matching, but a lot of features had to be left on the cutting room floor. With the extra time C# 8 needs, many of these are being picked up. It still has problems with paisley, however.

Kinda cool, I guess, but seems like it's making things more complicated to understand. Which seems like psuedoprogress.

The method uses special sources of light, combined with sensors and computer vision processing to effectively infer or rebuild extremely detailed imagery, much more detailed than has been possible previously, without having photographed it or otherwise ‘viewed’ it directly. The rest of us just look around the corner

"It's powered by a 1.44 GHz, quad core Intel Atom x5-Z8350 processor, paired with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of onboard storage, which is upgradeable through a microSD slot.
In short, it's a proper computer."
My definition of a "proper computer" is WILDLY different from Engadget's...

If it's for kids, it won't run DooM, so it's not a real computer.

Last month at Build, we introduced the new WebView2 coming to Windows, powered by the upcoming Chromium-based Microsoft Edge. What a tangled web we weave when first we stick a browser in a Windows app

And it's a win32 version, too!
That's great!
You'll love it!
Except when it crashes -- just vanishes with no warning and no usable Event Viewer entry -- if you try to save a page or open a page from your file system, because one of the very first winio updates severely borked the win32 common dialog library, and they still haven't fixed it.
But they've gone through a dozen icons, mindlessly removed the status bar, made dragging an html file onto the browser window a pointless exercise, taken away 95% of the useful settings, and committed hundreds of other crimes against browsanity, so everything is right with the world!

Because there are two of them, perhaps?
"Potentially life supporting" is not the grandest of claims - it could be used to describe several objects in our own solar system without any controversy. Most of us would agree that Titan has the potential to support life but would consider it unlikely to be doing so, why should such a claim become preposterous when applied to an exo-planet?

Yes, but we get several thousand billion photons a day from Titan; we can see what it's made of, and we can "hear" the rest of the electromagnetic spectrum that's bouncing off it.
They are, typically, basing a "great revelation" on a couple of hundred photons a day, which:
0. Are reflected from and distorted by a very nearby star.
1. Have passed through God-only-knows-what in the twelve light years between us and them.
No-one on their right (as in "honorable") mind would declare with any certainty that there are even planets there, let alone that they could support life.

Keyboards have had a dedicated Windows key for decades, and now it looks like Microsoft is at least considering adding one for Office. Because starting Excel is haaaaaaarrrrrrd

ms said: The concept was spotted in a survey form asking users for feedback related to the Office key. That's "a survey form", as in "one" -- but I'll bet even that is an exaggeration, and the only place it appears is in a question ("Do you want an Office button?", to which everyone replied "Are you out of your f***ing minds?!?") (I paraphrase, of course.)
"Never mind fixing the things that have been broken for years, or fixing any of the things that we've broken with each update -- that's tooooo boring! Let's add something new that no-one wants, and that will break even more things!"
"Oh, and we haven't had a new icon for WEEKS! We need to work on that! Nine-hour brainstorming session in my office, tomorrow! We can set a series of planning meetings for it after that."

Quote: However, it would require keyboards and laptop makers to dedicate more space to yet another key.
Two second journalist.
I look down at my keyboard.
"Oh hey, there is a right windows key as well."
Look at (likly mock) image.
"Oh hey, they using the right windows key position for that office key."
conclusion.
I should be using the right windows key more often when locking my keyboard instead of two hands or stretching to the left windows key.
