Fuzzy computer for fuzzy thinkers. Buzzword OS for people who see buzzwords as reality.

The world is a confusing place for people who never learned statistics.

Pages documents tend to look better aesthetically than Word documents, even if they are converted to Word.

We are living out the TV show. Everything in that show is coming true (if it wasn't already).

If you haven't seen it, it is very entertaining, and now almost seemingly prophetic.

His comment is reasonable, but I don't understand what it has to do with demoralization.

Boomers were the "me" generation, but the kids who followed them are definitely greedier.

It doesn't say they got arrested, but apparently the person in question didn't turn off the Bluetooth device when asked to. Ignoring or disobeying the instructions of flight attendants is a federal offense.

There were movies but they weren't very good.

From the 1700s, Magic lanterns had moving parts, and there were magic lantern shows.

The Phenakistoscope was a kind of simple movie, and was projected on a stage by the mid 1800s.

The Zoopraxiscope was used with a projector from 1880 in public lectures. It is of interest because it used actual photographs.

The Kinetoscope was a little later, by 1892.

If your company relies on "oral tradition" to maintain documentation, then your company may not survive with or without AI.

"Oral tradition" is the engineering process of knowledge being lost. That is to say it's not engineering.

Maybe he should have made a backup earlier.

Why would you make that assumption? I just don't know anything about eastern societies. (shrug)

Human life, while commonly celebrated, is chronically overvalued in western societies across the economic spectrum. I, for one, welcome our new euthanasia overlords! We cannot allow a euthanasia gap!

This is what happens when you don't consider all the edge cases.

The edge cases break the law.

People are using this particular feature. I don't really understand why, but reports are they do like it.

Apparently even Debian is supporting it (despite the summary): https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/a...

It turns out some people are using it. I don't know why, but from time to time they submit bug reports and patches.

So if people are using it, there's no real reason to remove it. If some people don't want it in their version of the kernel, a compile flag works fine.

The only thing that matters is whether people are using it.

If people are not using it, then remove it. If people are using it, leave it in. If somehow it still bothers you (I don't know why), then you can add a compile flag so it is not in your particular kernel.
