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?

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

You can install it on any kind of hardware that runs debian. They even have some links to suggested computers: https://wiki.debian.org/FreedomBox/QuestionsAndAnswers#HARDW...

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.

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 d

"Second, I want to see a VHLL defined by an XML DTD. Doing this will allow me to put as much information into my program source as my niece can put into the email messages she composes using Netscape." ... is he trolling?

To be fair, the original article does not contain the word "unit" - it just talks about tests, which is arguably more general. In my personal opinion, tests that are "non-unit" tests are still useful - testing the validi

I presume that a big part of these 40% are single or single-parent households. I'd wager (a little) that if you only consider (heterosexual) couples, then you will have mostly men making more money... Not saying that that's good o

Well, _if_ you need that feature, you can wrap the trait into another trait that allows a write to the pin, but discards it. However, by default, nonsensical operations should not be possible.

The state of the pin is encoded in the type of the variable that is used to access the pin. This kind of encoding prevents you from making the programming error of writing to an input pin - which is technically possible, just useless.

Ok, I see your point now. And I think you are right. CS is not that special imho, and the gender imbalance should be more similar to e.g. maths. > The term for an argument gerrymandered around the data to the degree "CS participatio

You are right with your juxtaposition of belief and truth. Two minor points: 1) What is truth? How do you know whether something is true? By perceiving it? Is your perception not influenced by belief? I'm not saying that we cannot know
