It appears to be the former because no one addressed my point that people have different viewpoints.

In my original post I stated that people would only eyeroll a reference to diversity based on how they view diversity. That's it.

I thought that was harmless and succinct. People have different points of view, and no person can anticipate how another person will react. Then people tried to explain to me that I was wrong, which means: people's views DON'T actually play into how they react, which is demonstrably false. See that? In order to argue me, you have to take the position that you know exactly how everyone will already react.

I never dismissed anything. You literally dismissed ME. sigh

Obviously. That's why I said "I have to draw the line somewhere".

I trust my browser and OS more than extensions.

Your security posture is probably different than mine.

Good point, I edited my post. Thanks.

Yes, it is. And the high salaries at netflix are for top performers, not someone who did a full stack, once.

Like you said, 99% of software developers are NOT the top 1%. ;-)

EDIT: I removed some snark after reading Zenbit_UX's reply.

Welcome to the club!

I recently deleted all of my extension off all three browsers (Chrome, Firefox, and Safari). The ad blocking on Firefox is almost as good as Ublock Origin. I found privacy badger to be largely useless.

The only thing I miss is lastpass, but I've gotten used to having it run as a desktop app.

Containers in Firefox were nice, but I've also gotten used to switching accounts.

The fact that extensions get 100% access to everything on your page (including password forms) is just a no-go for me. I have to draw the line somewhere.

Bug bounties are very different than auditing. In an audit, there is a contract in place with specific analysis objectives based on agreed-upon criteria. I find it unlikely anyone in the industry would have more experience than Intel about CPU manufacturing, although there might be security consulting firms that are advanced enough to merit a real corporate NDA. But given the breadth and depth of their IP, even that seems unlikely.

But I would still really be interested to know who Intel hires to audit their products, if this is true. I'd like to do that kind of work.

That's an easy one: Python. The function declaration can force significant naming, but only for the caller.

> they just pay for more auditing and public research.

Who is Intel paying to audit their chips?

Oh wow, I didn't know that. Sneaky.

GCC warns of assignment in conditional, even without -Wall or -pendantic. I don't know when it started doing that, but it seems like a sore thumb today, different in 2003 maybe?
