Guesses as to why Knuth made the em dash grey?

It would appear that you know wrong.

That's really not appropriate for the topic at hand. And what happens when the technology improves and the 1 kW ~= 3.65 kW relation changes?

So does South Africa. However, capable administrators are severely lacking.

A pretty cool video on seL4 where they give the red team root access on a Linux VM running inside of seL4, which controls a helicopter.

>is that even it's design purpose?

It is not. The closest thing you'll get to it that has the features you mention, is Qubes OS [0].

When it comes to the L4 family, Google's adoption of seL4 [1] might be interesting to you, and possibly L4Re [2] [3], which is open source (not their tooling, though) with commercial support.

Edit: there's a bunch more open source activity in this field, but I'm not familiar with it.

Why is there a question mark in the title on HN? It is not a question, and the source does not contain a question mark.

Wish there was a phone where the camera on LineageOS is as good as the stock. On my Samsung Galaxy S7 using the camera on non-stock in painful (takes seconds to focus, when it focuses at all).

Hi,

Would you mind telling me what immunotherapy you get, specifically for cats? I'm currently on Grazax for grasses etc. I would love to be able to get a cat, but I am quite allergic and get flu-like symptoms after a while. (Also, my blood tests don't show that I'm allergic to cats, so that complicates things).

Having seen the AI up scaled versions of DS9, I would be surprised if that ends up being something I want to watch. I definitely don't see the point of changing the aspect ratio.
