Six years is recent enough for decent virtualization support at the CPU level, so it’ll probably run within 5 to 10% of the “native” performance you could get with Boot Camp. If you have enough RAM to give the VM a decent amount it should be fine.

This personal inventory project hasn’t been updated in a couple years, but looks Ike it could work for what you’re describing.

This is a league game. It determines who enters the next round robin! Am I wrong?

There’s a “docs team” that hangs out on the NixOS discourse that I’m sure would be happy to have you. They have meeting every couple weeks if you want to say hi & find out what would be a good way to start contributing.

Do you mean & by itself, or as part of a thing like &? The latter is an HTML “character reference,” which is used to represent characters that clash with bits of HTML syntax. For example, HTML tags are wrapped in “angle brackets”, also known as the less-than and greater-than symbols, so if you want to write those symbols, you need to use < and > instead.

All this encoding crap is supposed to happen behind the scenes, but some software forgets to handle them correctly, and the character references “peek through” and get rendered as plain text.

Edit: this post is a good example of software being weird. It automatically converted the code for the greater than symbol into the symbol itself, but not the others.

Could be “cunnilingus” or a similar word that’s only “adult” once it’s been explained.

I usually go with characters from the Discworld series. So far I’ve had a Rincewind, Ridcully, Twoflower, Weatherwax, Ponder, Librarian, Luggage, and Hex, plus a router called “The Clacks”. Really ought to get Vimes and crew into the mix, now that I think of it… maybe the next one will be Angua or Carrot.

Intelligence doesn’t seem to have much correlation with belief in propaganda. In my experience, intelligent people can be more susceptible to being hoodwinked, since they assume they’re “smart enough not to fall for it.”

Once they adopt a belief, their conception of themselves as intelligent, rational actors causes them to invent all kinds of post-hoc rationalizations, and it’s extremely difficult to admit that they didn’t actually use the logical part of their brain at all when forming the belief.
