It is easier to search for keywords (Capture the Flag) vs acronyms (CTF) which likely resolve to other terms as well. Child trust fund is the first result when I put CTF into Google. Admittedly searching CTF security solves that issue. A quick link to an article on CTF to make the post digestible by outsiders seems reasonable enough.

- fartfeatures 5mo agoI read it as a suggestion vs a demand but I can see why you felt it was entitled. The author doesn't need to care and can take or leave the advice. In many ways it is a shame we don't have the concept of the Semantic Web as an extension to simple Hyperlinks.

- xnickb 5mo agoNo one is in a position to dictate individual people what their goals are. That's another example of entitlement. As an individual author they are entitled to write whatever they want in their blogpost. I as a consumer of their writing am not entitled to anything
