[$] A 2024 retrospective

It is often said that the definition of insanity is repeating the sameaction and expecting different results. Be that as it may, LWN hasrepeatedly started a new year with a set of predictions, only to have toreview how badly they went at the end. There was no break in that patternthis year, so there is no help for it; the time has come to review our 2024 predictions in the hope that theycame out better this time around.
