A woman once told me she worked in a club and when one of the regulars passed away, a bunch of them went to his funeral.
There's certainly worse legacies one could leave, than having spread some wealth around while presumably having been respectful enough to be missed.
Nice! Thanks for sharing this analysis.
I thought our primary way of producing new Linux users was sexual reproduction and then indoctrination from birth...
Interesting. I would have guessed that Mint gave ChromeOS a run for it's money, by now.
Yes. By the porn stats, Linux already crushes ChromeOs. Let's not take any advice from it.
It absolutely delay people buying. If you held out for 6 more months, you'd get a substantially faster computer.
That describes most of my life, under Moore's Law.
I handled it in the traditional way: I bought what I wanted, and then I immediately cussed about my shitty timing to my friends the next day.
It’s not like cars would eventually cost negative money and they pay you to take them.
While I accept your point, I feel conditioned to interrupt here and clarify that I absolutely would download a car. There was some unexpected confusion about this, at one point.
Okay. Carry on. Thank you.
"Enterprises might discover that production agent deployments are harder than demos suggest. Hallucinations in high-stakes workflows, regulatory concerns around autonomous AI systems, or implementation complexity could slow adoption dramatically. If the agent future takes 5-7 years instead of 2-3, there's a painful gap where billions in infrastructure sits waiting for demand to catch up."
Yes. AI agents in infrastructure are a fundamentally stupid idea, at their very core.
Learn to write a bash script or pay someone competent to do it.
Almost no one needs a shittier solution that is 1000x faster to implement while 100x more likely to make profit-margin-evaporating mistakes.
Even the idiots calling the shots today are bound to notice this.
There's a third category of adoption to consider: "between 7 years and - let's not fucking do this, it is stupid"
There's a delightful DC Comics Elseworlds story that amounts to this. It was fun.
"Sometimes when it's not him, it's still him!"
RIP Renee A. I can always hear his delivery of that final line when I read it.
That was a surprisingly good sequel.
