According to data released by NetMarketShare back in September 2017, about six percent of the market at the time comprised machines running Windows 8.1. But for those who are still using the OS, it may be time to reconsider this position since Windows 8.1 has just exited mainstream support as of January 9, 2018. Windows 7 makes a great upgrade
Yeah, also unsupported. Oh, well.

The gene-editing technology CRISPR could very well one day rid the world of its most devastating diseases, allowing us to simply edit away the genetic code responsible for an illness. One of the things standing in the way of turning that fantasy into reality, though, is the problem of off-target effects. Now Microsoft is hoping to use artificial intelligence to fix this problem. Now AI are coming for the mad scientists' jobs

I’m going to show you four common mistakes C#/.NET developers make when dealing with time. And that’s not all. I’ll also show what you should do to avoid them and make your code safer and easier to reason about. Dates are evil

Common mistakes? I'd say they are pretty advanced mistakes. Most people in Q&A still think treating\storing dates as strings is a good idea and that the computer magically knows when "1/2/2000" should be Feb 1st and when it should be Jan 2nd.
