I think it comes down to the culture. A minuscule improvement to a file system is big news in the Linux community. There’s also lots of academic interest in the performance critical parts of the kernel that you just can’t emulate with a closed source model.

Linux dominates the server market, so even small improvements matter when you’re talking about a server farm with thousands of machines or the latest supercomputer. Many, many people care about the scalability of Linux. On Windows, we say: NTFS? It’s good enough. The user won’t notice on modern SSDs.
I think the implication is that the customer is drinking alcohol frequently lately because the lady ordered in the way you would order many alcoholic beverages with ice.
I wonder if this is true for others but I’m just not close to my family. I think most people have smaller social circles today than they did 10 years ago.

I think the penny is overrated. I don’t interpret + 100 to be a guarantee, only that desirable outcomes are much more likely. I see it as a long-term general buff but difficult to direct.
I met the author… a guy who wrote the script for one of the pictured movies. He was doing stand-up comedy on a cruise ship. He said yes, they are all terrible, but there’s a certain audience for them and they’re quite profitable.
He said I want you to think of me when you’re forced to watch one of these. I want you to know who is responsible, and that I’m very sorry.
Upon the web, a cipher dance delayed, An SSL error in its code displayed. In cryptic realms, where data ought to flow, A falter in the handshake, whispers woe.
