Microsoft’s second major Windows 10 Update of 2019, codenamed as 19H2, is now officially known as Windows 10 November 2019 Update. As the name suggests, the new Windows 10 update will be rolled out to the public in November, but we didn’t know as to when the rollout will begin in November, until now. In case you want to schedule some Windows Update downtime
Or downtime in general (although it seemed to be a pretty painless upgrade for me)

Oh, good. That means I'll see update hit my machines just before the 2003 update next year. Let me know how it works out for you guys who are in the Fast Ring.

A pair of mathematicians from Australia and France have devised an alternative way to multiply numbers together, while solving an algorithmic puzzle that has perplexed some of the greatest math minds for almost half a century. No more carrying the one?
One is the heaviest number that you'll ever know...

Find out how long it takes to reach $100,000 as a developer in the US and how using Scala, Redis, Go, or Apache Spark will benefit you. Blurb writer still didn't make the list?

The side-effect of being innovative is that some rather strange and unphysical ideas sometimes escape from NASA. This probably explains the Helical Drive. "In this house we obey the laws of thermodynamics!"

A new Windows SDK will not be issued in conjunction with this version of Windows, since this release doesn’t introduce new APIs. That means there’s no need to target Windows 10, version 1909 or modify your project files. Grief
Is there ever another answer?
OK, in this case it sounds surprisingly limited. It hardly even sounds like a Service Pack level of discomfort.

OAM is a specification for describing applications so that the application description is separated from the details of how the application is deployed onto and managed by the infrastructure. Because we always need one more standard

Wow. So it's a description for describing descriptions that have no information on deploying and managing the application.
Is there a YouTube video I can watch instead?
