> The entire point of the CoC is it creates a process whereby people not involved in the project can harass members of the project while remaining anonymous.

So there is a lot of people peripheral to these projects, that want nothing more than to disrupt by harassing people completely unknown to them, under a veil of anonymity? And that's the point of these CoC's?

Who are these people you speak of? Some secret cabal of "SJW's"?

You are saying the point isn't to codify some ground rules for collaboration and communication, which are then in rare cases abused by some individuals, the abuse is the point? Please.
This is not a recommendation but rather an inquiry.

I’m currently using roundcube [1] on my server but have no clue if that’s the right choice for me. It works but I only use it because my hosting company recommended it and I just stuck with it. It seems to be open source so that’s a big plus imo.

If anyone here has some experience with roundcube I’d like to know what you think about the software. Are there any flaws I should be aware of? Anything other projects are doing better?
I value privacy over functionality and am willing to try out something new.

All of those reasons are lame af and iOS does quite a few, so it's also very wrong. All together a stupid article.
I look forward for a more robust and durable hardware design. Maybe a ruggerized version?
Too much abbreviation!

pypeline --> pypeln

multiprocessing pipeline --> pr

threads pipeline --> th

asyncio pipeline --> io

this is totally unnecessary

If I want to use short abbreviated names in my code I can always `from pypeline import multiprocess_pipeline as pr`

Your library shouldn't export them like this as the default.

`io` is especially bad since this overshadows the `io` module in the Python stdlib
It can be even worse; I'm usually browsing youtube on my phone and then send videos I'm interested in to XBMC, so I see them on the big screen. Downside is that youtube doesn't count that as me having seen the video (even when logging in in the XBMC youtube app). So I get the same videos recommended for weeks. Literally the same; not just similar content. Makes discovering new things really hard.
+1 for FastMail — I've been using it for the last 2 years and I've got nothing but praise for them.

ProtonMail seems to be another popular alternative, but their E2E encryption claims sound like snake oil to me, but snake oily as it is, it's still a better choice than Gmail.

> The purpose of CoC, as stated by its author ... is to eradicate meritocracy.

For the sake of clarity, it's important to note here that "meritocracy" is a deeply contentious word. What "merit" is being rewarded? True technical ability/contribution? Measured how? Or access and privilege (for which it's a misnomer but still often used)? Which definition does the author of the CoC oppose? Which definition do you defend? You obviously intend "eradicate meritocracy" as a condemnation, but some might see eradicating pretend meritocracy as a good thing.
I'm an owner of firearms and in favor of the second amendment and I still agree with parent, Gun Control being highlighted as a relevant article makes complete sense, since Gun Control is fundamentally about rights related to firearm ownership.

It does have some ux benefits too. The "back gesture" works much better than on other browsers. Firefox gives no feedback, and chrome gives very poor feedback.

Safari lets you peek at the previous page, and makes it very obvious that you are about to go back, without any performance hit.

It also comes with reading mode, which chrome doesn't. Even with an ad blocker, many pages are still layed out in ways that can only be summed up as reader hostile.

So for reading and moving between pages, I feel like it beats both ffx and chrome. So I disagree with your "more important than anything else" part, but agree that performance and battery is among its top features, and if you don't care for that, safari does become a hard choice.

Amusing to see this phrased, since even before the Internet we had a perfectly cromulent word for this: handle.
While those are all important, I thought that the main research goal of Iter was to understand the stability of the plasma for sustained net-energy operation. Aren't there still some remaining open questions about operating a D-T tokomak reactor to produce energy, like, does the plasma begin to rip itself apart after 1ms, okay, how about 10 seconds, how about 500 seconds, and so-on.

I accept that I'm talking based on extremely vaguely remembered statements from many years ago...

After all, if the goal was really these ancillary things you mention, many of them could be studied in other environments.

Although available in Japan where I live, there is literally no way to transfer money out of my bank. You may think it odd, but getting a bank account in a foreign country is actually hard. The bank I use is not my choice, but the choice of my former employer -- that's how I got the account. When I set up my own consulting company, I ended up using the same bank. I'm trying get out of it. I have an account with an offshore bank, but going through the paperwork to actually deliver my pay cheque into it is rather daunting (even though I own the company that pays me!). It will be dramatically easier when I get permanent residence status (which I probably can get whenever I get around to applying for it -- and I should do it sooner rather than later).

But anyway, there are other people in the same situation, where they literally can't pay for things online. I just wanted to indicate that I understood the situation. But thanks for the pointers. It looks pretty useful if I ever get in the situation where I could use it.

Flicking between the comparison tables at
https://www.yubico.com/products/yubikey-hardware/compare-yub...
and
https://www.yubico.com/products/yubikey-hardware/compare-yub...

it appears like the only differences between YubiKey 4 and Yubikey 5 NFC is i) the addition of NFC and ii) the addition of FIDO 2 support

The differences between Yubikey NEO and YubiKey 5 NFC appear to be i) The addition of docker login support (?!); ii) FIDO 2; iii) RSA 4096 (PGP) support and iv) ECC p384 (not in PGP) support.

With that in mind.... how widely is FIDO2 deployed? I haven't yet found a two factor app supporting app/site that doesn't support my Yubikey 4.
Also the highest ECC is still p384 and does not support p521.

However it is still really nice that it support rsa 4096 over NFC now.
Been working on getting a CLIM codebase (that is older than ANSI CL standard) running under modern open source implementations (SBCL, CCL). This too was my primary problem. CLIM spec was written with CLOS in mind, and implementations tend to absolutely abuse CLOS and MOP. I spent many long hours untangling all the mixins introducing :around methods. Good runtime debugging is absolutely crucial for this kind of code - something which open source CL implementations do not really have. Even prettified by Emacs, the inspector can get you only so far. Hell, this is the only time in my life where SBCL itself crashed completely when I did simple "jump to symbol definition" in Emacs...
I don't think OpenBSD is ever going to adopt a CoC, so they should be fine. ;-)

maybe it's really just related to investment banks?

Banks are indeed one of the most secretive and protective institutions, along with a lot of other related ones in the financial sector. They also tend to have more authoritarian practices, which can explain why they're not so keen on their employees doing even remotely-related stuff outside of their work.
> The fanatics in the OSS world (and Tech at large) seem to have forgotten that Silicon Valley != The World

When it comes to attitudes and languages, Silicon Valley is sometimes quite different than tech in the rest of the US. As a developer in the northeastern US, one of the adjustments I've had to make in working for an archetypal Silicon Valley company is to the way people express themselves and particularly how they express disagreement or criticism (i.e. in a way that can be interpreted either as more gentle or more passive-aggressive depending on context). You raise a good point, but I think the differences are even greater than you (or the OP) think.

Of course, talking about this on extremely SV-centric Hacker News might not achieve very much.
I highly recommend playing with CLOS (or one of the Scheme flavored knockoffs like GOOPS in Guile or Swindle in Racket) for anyone who hasn't but works in OO languages (probably most working programmers).

You probably spend all day dealing with OO ideas like method dispatch and inheritance, but to see them laid out explicitly in CLOS, as distinct from the underlying Lisp language, really helps you to internalize them and how arbitrary and malleable they are, as well as how astoundingly general they are when interpreted as broadly as CLOS does (the object systems in workaday languages cut off a lot of the avenues open to systems defined in terms of CLOS).

You can get a similar "aha" moment by looking at how Perl does OO if you already know Perl, or reading the implementations of one of its dozens of different user-implemented object systems. Perl has some language-level support for OO but it is very minimal so these object systems have to do most of the work that a Common Lisp object system would.

I think the main benefit is in seeing OO implemented in a language with no built-in support for it, rather than a language built around the concept of classes and inheritance or some version of it.
It's also expensive compared to rolling my own. Using the standard plan, I'd be paying 200$/y for just a single address for each of my family members. Personally, I want at least 2 myself.
Compare that to the ~120$/y I pay for my main VPS which has plenty of spare resources to handle not only my family's email, but also for some clients AND, since I make the rules, I also don't need services like Sendgrid for sending email from my websites.
All well worth the 5-10 afternoons a year spent maintaining it.
Fastmail has employees that have to be paid. You're paying that money instead of the time required to maintain your own email server.

I don't know how much more ruggerized you need it. It's already pretty dam strong. I've had a neo on my keys for years and it shows no sign of ware.

They already are water proof and can be run over by a car. So unless you want to take a hammer to it, it should be rugged enough.
It's lovely how node.js started with callback nesting hell, then to promise chaining, then to async/await, then to "magic" libraries like this.

As I recall, it only took me about two months to write my PhD thesis. The hard part, which took a few years, was finding an interesting question, and collecting the requisite data. And also, getting up to speed on some decades of literature. But subsequent papers didn't take much more than a few months each.
I've been wanting to switch from Gmail for a while, just to try something new.

I like the concept of ProtonMail (that my email is supposedly encrypted at rest and accessible only by me) but honestly the conversation here steers me away from it. Also the interface is fairly slow.

The top recommendation here seems to be FastMail, which I'm doing a trial run of now.
I don't think that method is obsolete. If your're a self-taught hobbyist then it makes sense to try to gain experience with hosting a product. I have been doing things that way since I was in college.

However, I still love what the cloud offers and I think that's worth learning too. For your next hobby project you may see the server set up as mundane and time consuming. If so then you could use one of the PaaS/IaaS products that are out there.

Rolling your own is always fun. I have worked in places that have their own data centers or that couldn't go to the cloud for various reasons. These skills are good to know. Also as a dev I still set up my own local servers for development - so you still have chances to learn.

Yupp. It's more a case of firms not wanting the hassle, so they usually just deny service to US citizens. Apparently transferwise has a similar issue, I'm not aware as luckily I'm not a US citizen.

My intake was not heavier than I claimed. If you read my post again you'll see that I went for complete abstinence only after drinking became an occasional thing for me. When you drink a few pints of beer once after a month or more of no drinking it has a massive effect.

People disputing this have probably never gone more than a week without alcohol. I'm not prepared to maintain a tolerance to alcohol and it makes me feel bad when I drink occasionally.

All I'm claiming is that a literal poison has a negative effect on me that far outweighs any positive I get from the enjoyment of drinking. Yet people are jumping up in arms saying there must be something wrong with me because they drink regularly and feel fine. I think people could do with some careful introspection and maybe to reconsider what "fine" is.

it should be much easier to contribute to Debian now

But aren't they constantly getting new versions of Chromium from Google? I think going into the Debian Repo of Chromium and changing it would not be a viable path, right? You either have to convince Google to accept your changes too (Good luck with them accepting the de-googling haha) or you would have to consider a life of constantly de-googling new versions of Chromium.

I don't think the timescales here are realistic. The pace has picked up on global warming and the feedback loops are in place. Projections for '2065' are a bit silly. There is also this small problem in that the 'American empire' is on the decline. Currently the US (and UK) live off the rest of the world via tax havens, the petro-dollar and militarism. These instruments are not going to last forever and it is not possible to plot a linear graph of 'sea level rises' and 'insurance prices'. Everyone in affected areas will be caught out by 'negative equity' with nobody wanting to buy their property.

Cheese Tea Could Be the New Bubble Tea – If Americans Get Over the Name
Because the service provider receives the unencrypted email and can choose to save a copy, encrypt it to a different key, etc. This was the scam Lavabit pulled, and the government called them on their bluff and asked for a copy of the key and Lavabit had no legal ability to refuse.

If the threat model does not include a government with the ability to use legal process, it needs to be defined more precisely. In general the US government can use legal process in the US and just straight-up hack into things elsewhere (who's going to raise a diplomatic incident over it? Russia is literally poisoning people, nobody cares, and their military is less powerful than the US's). If your threat model is other governments or just unrelated attackers like advertisers, there are more straightforward approaches.
