Her novels are set in Mexico and feature characters who suffer from a sense of isolation, according to Jane S. Bakerman in Twentieth Century Crime and Mystery Writers. Bakerman describes Blanc as "a good writer whose canon, though slender, is strong."[2] Of The Green Stone, Kirkus Reviews said, "Atmosphere, incidents and personalities persuasively combined."[3]

Matrix currently can legitimately use a lot of file handles, thanks to busy rooms like #matrix:matrix.org containing hundreds of participating servers. The first time a server talks in a room it will try to connect simultaneously to all participating servers, which could exhaust the available file descriptors between DNS queries & HTTPS sockets, especially if DNS is slow to respond. (We need to improve the routing algorithm used to be better than full mesh, but as of March 2019 this hasn't happened yet).
