Agreed. What world are people living in when they present payment links on an insecure page in 2018? Um, no dude. I'm not going to click on your link now, nor will I ever. Byyye.

The author used the word "quotidian"... I hope they feel better now.

Hey, I use inspect! I've run untrusted code every computing day of my life, so I guess that makes me a script kiddie. My advice, keep on script kiddie'ing, because it will definitely pay off.

Know that somewhere, probably close by, another person is struggling with you. The end waits patiently for us all my friend. Keep trudging.

The floating 'open in app' on this page is really bad. Please stop doing that. For fucking crying loud, don't mix text with bullshit.

I'd like to add though that I disagree with the parent comment about privilege putting people ahead in the moral sense. I believe that some of the most compassionate people have grown that way through hardship.

While you have correctly identified a trait of those who graze the autistic spectrum, you also appear to have discounted the possibility of being able to ignore social pressure otherwise. I think you are kind of proving the point of the person you are responding to. To me it came off as if the comment made you uncomfortable, and you responded in a way that is, in my opinion, short-sighted. I believe what he meant is that often times with privilege, people don’t feel the need to defend a certain viewpoint - because they aren’t negatively affected by it.

Disclaimer: I grew up poor as dirt in a house of 7 children, so I’m definitely not speaking from experience as far as being privileged goes. I never graduated college, I just read regular old books. I do have a younger brother who struggles with a slight case of autism though, and he has no interest in computers whatsoever. In fact his life is somewhat in shambles. Also, the term “asperger’s” has been deprecated.

cough Awfully quiet in here.

Agreed. No child should ever go hungry. We also need more public awareness / education about making healthy decisions when it comes to purchasing food.

I assure you if it became profitable to do so, many of us would quickly master the art of rabbit catching. Many wouldn't, and that's fine.

Yeah, those social buttons are fucking atrocious.

I guess the part about not wanting to work for the demographic that currently dominates the industry...

"If it’s plastered with pictures of white guys in flannel with beards, that’s a red flag. If the exec team is all white men who look like they could be my father that’s another one."

Granted, flannel shirted beardo's set off red flags for me too.

I mean... I hate to be such a realist in this regard, but you just wished yourself out of like 95% of the industry, right?

Honestly, if psychology studies were presented as opinion pieces I would take them much more seriously.

By "ashamed" I assume he really meant "embarrassed". I'm just glad that I'm not a well known figure, because I embarrass myself almost daily.

I rarely comment on the internet, but HN is one of the few sites that I frequent during micro-breaks at work, and this sort of content is making me feel like HN is becoming a NSFW site to visit. My concern has nothing to do with your stated opinion in the article, but rather that the article doesn't provide enough technical value to warrant being safe for me to read while on the job. Articles that, for instance, inform me about a root key update, or a critical vulnerability in the Linux kernel, provide immediate value to me and my employer. Opinion pieces like these though, not only lack technical value, but are a time (money) drain on my company. Please keep HN safe for work for those of us who care about things like that.
