It breaks my heart, especially for those who become severely chronically ill with diseases like ME/CFS in their teenage years, with little to no indication things will ever get better. Imagine that, maybe spending your next 50-60 yea

Software development looks a lot like evolution. The market and business requirements are the environment that weeds out the unfit software. Adapt or die. Codebases that are slow to adapt to outside changes are like species that are slow to

It's amazing how people think a virus that lives latently in B cells and epithelial cells, and is strongly associated with various forms of cancer among a big helping of autoimmune disorders, is incapable of causing post-viral syndrome

I'm not talking about censorship. I'm talking about all ideas getting equal exposure. If you follow that "equal exposure" idea to its conclusion, then what should be taught in "biology" class for example is evo

As someone commented on Schneier's site, US would have an incentive to keep Snowden protected because if any enemy of US would kill Snowden, then the information would become public, and I guess US wouldn't want that. Personally,

A better way is to check that the email the user entered matches a typical email format, and if the email doesn't match, then warn the user that he/she might've entered the wrong email address (for example writing foobar@gmail, or foobar@
