Wonderful article. I was diagnosed with ADHD but it was more of a "here are some pills, go away" deal. I've never had someone put into words the way I feel without my meds so... eloquently. It feels great to know that there is at least one person out there who understands. I am at a very low point in my life right now and this article has me sobbing with relief. Thank you to the author and everyone on HN sharing their experiences, I feel better right now than I have in a very long time.
Side note: I am also diagnosed with the other two ailments the author compares ADHD to, lol; diabetes and depression. Although I suspect that second one is just caused by years of untreated ADHD making me feel like a lazy asshole.
I think about this too. uBlock origin is already running into issues with trackers disguising themselves as first-party, what about when those trackers are genuinely first-party, and bundled with the page's js (which you can't just outright block)? What happens when those trackers are bundled and compiled to wasm along with the sites js? Do we then analyze the wasm and try to guess which parts are necessary for a site to function and which parts are the tracking?
I'm not trying to be overly cynical here, all of these topics remind me of high school when I'd download mildly-sketchy executables, decompile them, and try figure out whether or not they were safe to run. I would love to poke around with reverse engineering wasm, but I'd rather not have to do that every time I visit a new website.
I've always assumed this comes from older Amazon shoppers who interpret the emails asking if they can answer questions about some item they ordered as personally asking them to answer the questions.
I got an email 3 days ago asking me to reset my password due to "system updates" and initially assumed it was just a phishing email. Since gmail is pretty aggressive about filtering those I looked into it more and realized it was genuine which made me even more confused because I couldn't imagine what sort of "system updates" they could've done that would require a password reset for all users. I kind of assumed they were covering up a breach so I wasn't at all surprised to see this headline. How scummy.
I thought the same thing when I received it. However, at the end I gave them the benefit of the doubt that perhaps they were migrating from one hashing algorithm to another and decided to just reset everyone's password in the process. Lying about the breach entirely is so shady
It wouldn't be perfect, but there are tons of services that can generate an RSS feed for a specific twitter user. It looks like @stripestatus only tweets when there's actually an issue (aside from updates on current issues)
Ran into this one in the wild when it happened, before stripe status had even tweeted about it. I was trying to order doordash and got a "Could not deserialize JSON object" error when adding a credit card. Hope this is fixed soon, the girlfriend and I are very hungry :(
Edit: update if anyone cared, API seems back up and we have ordered food! :)
