You raise a fair point. I think some of this is likely reactionary to some degree. Very often the response to a person struggling with a condition is "just try harder", so it's really, really easy read statements like the one

My intent was to point out that personal experiences differ and that things the article points out as given are not so given for everyone. My intent was not to moralize and I'm uncertain to what part of my original comment could be int

I'm speaking for myself (ADHD) and anecdotal experience from people in my life with these conditions (clinical depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD). I don't claim to speak for anyone. Your experience may be different, and that is

I realize you said it in jest, but as someone with ADHD generalizations like this hurt. Many of us love science and we have enough day to day difficulties to contend with. That said, I can think of a few reasons for not releasing a photo: 1

Yes and yes. You’ve already pointed out fingerprinting, but there are other attacks that can be done. See: - CSS keylogger, 2018: https://github.com/maxchehab/CSS-Keylogging - OWASP cites CSS injection as a mechanism f

Bobby Tables strikes again! https://xkcd.com/327/ I’m continually amused, amazed, and exasperated at how classes of software defects older than I am continue to be a problem.

You could say the same thing about your drinking water or the food you buy. Modern society is complex, and even simpler historical societies were dependent on cooperation before we got anywhere near the level of complexity and specializatio

What if Linux itself? The plethora of open programming languages? Tools like OpenSSH? Commercial, closed source products generally benefit from a monopoly within a specific problem domain or some kind of regulatory capture. I don’t think th

Cybersecurity is mainly a technical application of risk management. An untrusted network (the internet) is a risk. Removing access from that network is one way to mitigate that risk. Obscurity doesn’t remove a risk, it just reduces its like

Normal or standard aren't the right way to describe this kind of behavior. Common? Yes. Professional? No. Courteous? Not at all. The companies that get away with unprofessional or uncourteous behavior are typically the ones with lots o

Not disputing that, but the line gets blurry when you consider things like golden rice ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_rice ) as a method of food fortification. The purpose for golden rice touches on a big conside

I do believe you’re describing food fortification, which the US performs liberally: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_fortification#United_St... I’d honestly be curious to see if this study accounted for socio-econo

It has. It continues to do so. Look no further than the plethora of issues surrounding supply chain security. Or the recent attempts at legislating OSS maintainer obligations.

In my experience, the subsets of the community around clojure were one of the biggest problem with it. It's gotten better over the years, but circa 2016 - 2018 it had a spike in popularity despite being very hostile to newcomers. There

A lot of things drive those prices, but a big one is access to work and amenities. Mostly work, though. The Bay Area is characterized by suburbs, but also provides some of the highest paid and most highly desired jobs in the country.

Be warned that getting good clarity takes time and persistence if you’re going the coffee filter method. You’ll also get better flavor if you let the solution sit for up to a day before filtering. Enjoy!

The point of a union is to represent its members. Not all unions are good, but good unions should and do advocate for better working conditions and compensation for their members. It’s fine to not agree with this but it’s also important to
