What do you personally want to run on bare metal? I've been using Qubes for 7 years and the only thing I've missed is running MAME since Qubes doesn't do nested virtualization. But I do everything else I need on there - softw

It has remained quite active since I started using Qubes in 2016. I think when Joanna left day to day work it's possible things slowed a bit but I didn't have enough context since that wasn't long after I started. Based on ha

This is just supposition but it's entirely possible there is some causality at play. The ivies are the most competitive universities in the U.S. (modulo some outliers like Stanford and MIT). If you are successful at cheating in academi

Yes and Perl’s Unicode transition between 5.5 and 5.6* was exemplary. There were some speed bumps but generally old stuff continued to work and Unicode support could be added in a straightforward manner. In contrast to how python 3 handled

Effective arguments against alcohol will be scoped to why people use it. Saying it hurts health, makes some people prone to violence, and undermines productivity misses the point. People drink alcohol despite the risks because it makes them

The article reads very much like a list of problems important to an implementation author rather than a user. Except maybe the nested list thing, which does sound somewhat annoying. But also rare.

The rss pubdate format is the date time spec from rfc822 for email so is very widely supported. Cdata is supported in rss too — it’s in the xml spec so would be a bit redundant for rss to explicitly support it. You’ll find it in description

You are right that that there are too many incentives for trusted players to delay acknowledging reality (even if people are quibbling with the word “ponzi”). I am reminded of the scenes in Big Short when the banks for some time refuse to a

Yes and I find it similarly extreme that a company would disable someone's doorbell because one person claimed something racist was said through it (?!?!). Are they going to set up a little Amazon Ring court to adjudicate every claim??
