This will finally be the year of the Wayland desktop!

Which, in turn, is a consequence of the spin-statistics theorem.

As for why the spin-statistics theorem is true, the answer is that, in a sense, we do not really know. This is because, although we have rigorous mathematical proofs that it is true, they rely on arguments that are very technical in nature, so they provide no real intuitive insight into why the theorem is true. (This theorem is actually really notorious for this; people have been trying for a long time to improve on the situation, but have yet to succeed in coming up with a satisfactory elementary proof of it.)

I am sure he did, brother; I am sure he did!

Did you actually read the article? They have clearly been putting a lot of thought and care into this project.

Yeah, I really enjoyed the central conceit of that movie, which is that it is really fun to watch Tom Cruise die over and over again.

After buying a portal directly into the vacuum of space to help him clean his house, Larry does not get around to using it in time for Christmas, so instead he hangs lights on it to distract people from the dust.

Wait... does that mean that she has to marry ChatGPT now???

That's really cool! Naively I would have thought that modes of mechanical vibration would have involved too many parts to be able to coherently store quantum information. It would not have occurred to me that the real trick to getting this technology to work is actually not in getting the mechanical resonator to act like a quantum object, but in making it anharmonic so that you can essentially separately address each of the modes.

The Software Publishers Association has finally won:

It is no longer possible to copy that floppy. :-(

Doesn't language editions solve that problem? (I am not a Rust expert so please correct me if I am wrong.)
