On an unrelated note: why are you no longer on keybase? Are there any problems with the service?

Maybe that's because the website already has a serialized state - the HTML?

That's about 3cm. Pretty close ;-)

to quote the letter:

There are two ways to mitigate this attack

- Don't use HTML mails. Or if you really need to read them use a proper MIME parser and disallow any access to external links.

- Use authenticated encryption.

So the author makes some good points, but i have a hard time taking him seriously:

1) He writes a long blog post about problems that men have, specifically, and how there is unfair treatment between sexes.

2) He also writes explicitly that bodily autonomy of women is so important to him, it might as well be called holy.

3) He has had his son circumcised.

Any two out of these three positions i could understand. All three together are... hard to rationalize.

That is true for china, iran and saudi arabia as well...

freedombox is actually based on debian - so they select some packages and configure them to work nicely together, and add a nice web configuration page.

Still a lot of work, but not as much as creating your own distro from scratch.

> I really don't believe I'm any kind of expert in negotiation.

That means that transparency works _for_ you, not against you.

> Society needs both nurses and engineers.

Yes. And if more people want to become engineers, and if becoming an engineer is easier, then engineers will end up getting less money than nurses.

I mean... the more fun a job is, the more people will want to do it despite getting little money, right?

> In addition, women are usually the primary caregiver and disproportionately spend more time doing domestic labour (raising children, taking care of the home) which they are not compensated financially for.

I recall reading some statistics that (in germany) 80% of domestic spending is done by women. Seems about right.

> Women should be paid more for fewer hours in the workplace.

Uh. That's outright discrimination there. Either against men or against childless people.

The "drop" is not a statement terminator or separator.

There is a stack. You push values on the stack, then you call a function. The function takes its arguments off the stack, and pushes the return value(s) on the stack.

If you do not need the return value (which seems to be the case in your example) you ignore it by just removing it from the stack.

That's what the drop is for.

Yes i get that. Even so, the request is pretty... weird.
