This is why I am programming now in Ocaml, files themselves are AI ( ml ).

I am sure you did not forget that pattern matching.

I had a 486dx33 and it was unplayable, a few frames per second...

I honestly don’t remember what the frame rate was, but it definitely improved when I upgraded to a Pentium 100. I distinctly remember a buddy giving me some RAM (2x4MB) which allowed me to play on the 486. I was so happy!

The DX2s _were_ a significant improvement over the 486DX, but I’ll admit, I might be remembering the excitement of getting to play Quake at all! The framerate may have been 15-20 fps and I just dealt with it,

The minimum requirements, on the box, were apparently Pentium 75Mhz. 8MB (DOS), or 16 RAM (WIN95).

Quake DX2 framerate is 5-7 depending on rest of the setup.

Quake ran like shit on 486dx33, a few fps at best.

And SQL was that version in the 80s...

Who is your parents play a larger role than attractiveness.

A larger role for grading University students? Certainly not where I studied in central Europe. In which country do university tutors know the parents of their students?

They're trying to say that if you're born to (successful/married/privileged/whatever you want) parents, that will have more of an effect on your outcomes than your attractiveness.

But that's orthogonal to the question. It's probably true that Zuck's kids will do better than mine (though that also depends on how you measure things) but that doesn't change whether they'd do better if they looked better.

School doesn't start at university, and social reproduction is not a myth. Look at the cohorts of top universities/programs.

Who do you think they can blame in case of outage/security issues etc ?

Or AI won't fix diffusion of responsibility that you see in companies through outsourcing, offshoring or matrix organizations...Or to go through committees to know if they should change shh root access with abc123 as password.

I enjoyed much more the first 6 years than the following 6 ones.

Seeing them grow was fun, seeing them turning teenagers is a pain.

Depending of the country, legislation (and changes in them), the waiting time might be taxed as well. So a way to recoup some little costs.

I am not sure what clockwise is doing, but since calendar was mentionned, basically you need to break into M365, and for most entreprises, why acquiring another tool to manage calendars.

I happened to work for such companies, and the "application owner", and I am really not convinced by the ROI.

The real reason, VIPs didn't want to bother with a computer to manage their calendar, and they (well their assistants) had to organize meetings with 3rd parties.

A VIPs calendar is the most precious resource in a company; such that they're willing to pay $100k a year to manage it alone.

You have to be very good to get them to even try.

Oh I know well the analytics of these costs, but you are incorrect on the very good part...
