Wow!
The new virtual memory support allows for up to 4 petabytes of physical memory!
That means that people should be able to, although nobody should want to, use a bare-bones text editor at the same time as the chrome browser!

It was just several years ago that the open-source ecosystem began supporting the x32 ABI, but already kernel developers are talking of potentially deprecating the support and for it to be ultimately removed. "64-bit is cool, but there’s really not that much point for doing it."

Perfect!
What we really need is for half our apps and drivers not to work!
Linux will finally match the windows experience!

Definitely a case of a headline that looks a lot scarier than it actually is if you're not familiar with weird kernel guts.
They're not talking about dropping 32bit support; just a rarely used frankenmode that's 64bit in almost all ways (eg to get most of the innate benefits of x64 like more registers); without paying the cache tax from 64bit pointers if your apps workload will comfortably fit in 4gb of address space.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I like to think of it as "broadening the newsletter focus to include developers other than C/C++/C# ones", but sure. Your wording works too.

I suppose that, since geocities shut down, a lot of desperate "page under construction" wallahs need encouragement from different sources.

Quote: She had earlier built one of the original computerised airline reservation systems.
The innovation - which matched customers and available seats - was tested by United Airlines in 1962.
According to the Computer History Museum, it had a one-second response time and worked for 11 years without any central system failures.

Hey, stop undercutting Gartner's business. Next thing you know, you'll predict that "the cloud" will be important to the enterprise. And that "computers" may impact the future. Oh and that "Icon Engineering" is the Next Big Thing.
