I guess my question is, why did you guys choose to do that?

I don't see a difference in this and 'Reset your password' links in emails that are common place. They are basically the same premise, without the password.
I'm not sure what you're saying here:
> (Hashed) Password storage is moved to a third-party database (the email provider)
There is no hashed password? It's just a challenge response using an alternative path.
Just because it takes you 15 minutes doesn't mean it takes me or everyone else 15 minutes.
It took me days to be happy with my dev environment.
I also once had Fibre then moved to a bigger city without Fibre.
Who doesn't say linux doesn't take days to setup?
I say my OSX took days to setup, if you have a counter anecdote then elaborate.
And that's a problem?
I would argue that it's a feature. Due to Homebrew being written in Ruby, it has easily allowed over 4,000 contributors [1]. Recipes are easy to read and inspect for verification purposes.
What is the advantage of C over Ruby?

For launching I use a tool like Quicksilver or Alfred of Spotlight.
This way I get more screen realestate, I see no point staring at a dock icons all the time.
My dock resembles Command-Tab.
* It takes hours to download Xcode
* It takes hours to download OSX Updates
* Setting up Homebrew, Zsh, Vim, Browsers, GitHub, Dropbox, Mail, Rbenv, Rubies, Cloning work repos
* Getting those other smaller things you were tinkering with, Z, Go
Everyones dev setup is different. So I'd agree it takes days to get set up.
I don't follow that DDG not being able to save anonymous queries disregards their stance on privacy?
Surely for the best experience you'd want DDG to do this anonymously.
Some of these distros are LTS, so the bug fixes are usually back ported. The latest 0.9.8 is y which is from Feburary 2013.
Obviously the tools are useful for debugging purposes, testing tls connections, dumping cert information and asn1.
I've now been made aware that tools wrap the openssl cli instead of using it's programmatic API.
Once I tried to use the ca functions of the tool, found the whole tool entirely too cumbersome and wrote my own using libopenssl.
What do you use it for extensively if I might ask?
My answer would be the exact same as you quoted, the openssl cli tools are quite horrendous to use and you certainly wouldn't use them if you were a CA. If you are a CA or deal with certificates, openssl does provide sweet inspection dumping tools for asn1 and certs.
If you have an application which generates keys or certificates, why would you system exec openssl cli when your language of choice has a Crypto implementation, or glue to OpenSSL.
So I ask openly, run `history | grep openssl` and see. Even running `openssl help` is daunting unless you're familiar with most symmetric block modes.
I don't recall reading about an uninvited advance, so if this is something new you know about could you dump a citation here. I do recall a home visit which was 'awkward' and the offending party 'hesitated' to leave. That stuff happens, in and outside of work. Remember the parties here are emotionally invested and biased. We should not consider such details trivial, but they are considerably emotionally invested in this. The way it was phrased in the original article was he hesitated to leave. That's obviously up to the reader to interpret. Let's not dramatize that into an 'univited advance'.
Do I see any sexism against the wife of the co-founder from GitHub's statement? No
If you'd like to continue the discussion then go ahead and provide something of worth.
This comment is ironic I know, but these kind of posts derail the debate.
Individuals at their workplace do also have user managed devices, they also are 'outraged'.
It's not a technical limitation but a moral one.
Either the user installs it or not, it's their choice.
I am in no way advocating this abhorrent system of 'security'. Simply noting that it is obviously done in the workplaces and in many workplaces. That it can also be done here under 'security' pretences.
