<p>to quote the letter:<p>There are two ways to mitigate this attack<p>- 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.<p>- Use authenticated encryption.</p>

<p>So the author makes some good points, but i have a hard time taking him seriously:<p>1) He writes a long blog post about problems that men have, specifically, and how there is unfair treatment between sexes.<p>2) He also writes explicitly that bodily autonomy of women is so important to him, it might as well be called holy.<p>3) He has had his son circumcised.<p>Any two out of these three positions i could understand. All three together are... hard to rationalize.</p>

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

<p>> Society needs both nurses and engineers.<p>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.<p>I mean... the more fun a job is, the more people will want to do it despite getting little money, right?<p>> 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.<p>I recall reading some statistics that (in germany) 80% of domestic spending is done by women. Seems about right.<p>> Women should be paid more for fewer hours in the workplace.<p>Uh. That's outright discrimination there.
Either against men or against childless people.</p>

<p>The "drop" is not a statement terminator or separator.<p>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.<p>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.<p>That's what the drop is for.</p>

<p>To be fair, the original article does not contain the word "unit" - it just talks about tests, which is arguably more general.<p>In my personal opinion, tests that are "non-unit" tests are still useful - testing the validity and correct functioning of larger pieces of software is a good thing, even if it does not run fast, or if the broken code is not immediately obvious.</p>
