Prediction: Microsoft will eventually ship a Windows-themed Linux distro
When you think Microsoft you probably don't think sense of humor. And yet, I'm convinced that Microsoft is going to do a very specific *very* funny thing within our lifetimes.

The beginning of scarcity in AI
GPU rental prices surged 48% in 60 days. The AI compute shortage will force startups to compete not on speed of iteration, but on access to infrastructure.

An Infuriating Goodbye to Photoshop
I’ve been using Photoshop since the mid-90s. First at school, with Photoshop 3, then through work. I bought my first boxed copy of CS2 in 2005, then upgraded to CS5 in 2010. I subscribed to Photoshop Creative Cloud on day one. Today, I uninstalled it. I hope I never have to use Adobe software ever again.

Push ifs up and fors down: The idiom, its algebra, and its limits
Tiger Style and matklad recommend pushing ifs up and fors down. This post looks at what the idiom actually says, where it shows up in query optimization and in the algebra of functional programs, and where the analogy stops paying for itself.

The fix: registries charge companies for supply (they already do), then route a slice automatically to the maintainers who make…
