Isolating network services from the rest of your system is a good thing

So you don't have a real reason. Cool cool cool

Why? I haven't used it to verify, but my understanding is that similarly to JavaScript, it has evolved into a fully featured and ergonomic language. Is that incorrect?

Arch Linux for desktop. Whatever for servers, usually ubuntu, though I've been tempted to use arch then too when dealing with out of date software.

1. Software is always up to date
   • instead of old with security backports which have always kind of skeeved me out
   • so upstream issue systems are relevant
   • so I get new features without having to wait
2. When I have to turn a wrench the wiki and forums are amazing
3. I feel like I control my system

It's not zero effort at all. For XML(which RSS is) with xlst it is serving only 2 static files. The XML file with a reference to the xlst file, and the xlst file.

The XML can be read without transformation by tools like RSS readers, but displayed with transformation into HTML for viewing in a browser with the xlst.

You're saying it is easy to polyfill, but involving JavaScript at all completely breaks the (useful) paradigm

If you mean why is it so prevalent in media, it is because it is the last experience that almost everyone had in common so it is a touchstone

Dash isn't bash compatible. It's strictly a posix shell

Chrome's team argues that because only about 0.02% of page loads use XSLT, it's not worth the maintenance burden.

Surely given the volume of browser usage, 0.02% is still a very substantial amount of usage. Lazy fucks

Not supporting a ground operation in the middle east is the one thing the vast majority of the US agrees on

At least the previous cheating took effort. In all seriousness though, university was originally a system where a class was basically a book club directed by an expert. You went to class, discussed the reading, found out what to read for next time.

• going back to this format, plus tests that you take in class, with no grading of homework which was always stupid in the first place, would solve all the problems with cheating. It is also a better format for learning. Having lectures where students face to take notes in real time to have the material for the tests when it could just be in a book is absurd and massively inefficient
  • but you'd have to have enough professors
  • and professors would have to stop reusing tests

Other top offenders include Volkswagen, which collects demographic data (like age and gender) and driving behaviors (like your seatbelt and braking habits) for targeted marketing purposes; Toyota, which features a near-incomprehensible galaxy of 12 privacy policy documents;

Hard to care when they're evil.
