Similar to "password reset", isn't this attack trivially neutered by not telling the user anything about the success or failure of signup directly on the web interface?

Window dressing.

I've worked in the tech industry all my working life - 20+ years now, and I've actually never seen it. That's not to say I don't believe you, but it varies widely from place to place, both companies and geographically.

In fact just yesterday I was amused at how one of the teams I'm working with has a majority of women. That seems to be a rarity in general, but not so in certain regions. Specifically, in Ukraine I've now worked with several teams that have a significantly higher number of female engineers than elsewhere.
Where I am (Belgium) it's less so - even back at uni there were only two women in our total group of 13 in the year.

Yeah can we please stop with this "introverts are hermits" stuff? Some of us like being around people, colleagues, friends, family, and can run an in-person meeting quite well, even enjoying it.
It's just tiring, and by the end of the working day we need to be left alone for a bit to recharge.

There isn't really any proof that Waymo vehicles are driverless, only that the driver isn't in the vehicle. If you compare a dozen dubiously driverless vehicles to a million collecting data every moment and already doing a pretty good job at autonomy, which do you think will succeed?

The fact that the driver is not in the vehicle does not mean that there is no driver.

It's 260 meters tall, and the diameter of the rotor is 220 meters.

I believe that this was figured out in the amateur observer community before NASA confirmed it. I saw it go by in my twitter feed. Not sure I can find it now...

It's Apple themselves making that claim of being faster than 98% of PC laptops by sales volume, hence it's Apple themselves who want to be compared to rubbish Chromebooks. However, I'm also fairly sure that it would make a lot of people a lot happier to have the Macbook Air than a PoS chromebook. My 2013 MBP still keeps up just fine with what little I do with it (kids' remote learning & digital homework, up yours COVID-19, I hate you) and it looks/works like new. The "netbook" I bought a few years earlier ended up an expensive Frisbee in much less time than that.

My 2018 Dell XPS 15 and custom built 4u 19" i9 (32GB memory) run rings around it for my own specialized workflows, but not many people do complex signal processing and software development for 8 hours a day and would never really see the benefit over a base Air.

It's all gone pear-shaped.

I find it a bit funny when devs wade in on tabs vs space assuming everyone's using fixed width fonts for coding....

I've never worked in a place where using tabs was actually allowed, and after 20 years it's ingrained so deeply that I see a tab and wonder how it got there.

Plus, you get tired of explaining to new developers what a tab character even is, they've never seen one in the wild.

And lastly, probably most importantly: almost *everything else* in coding and formatting is more important than the stupid tabs or spaces debate. If you've got a significant number of other people working on the code for significant amounts of time, lint and automatically reformat to something consistent, and everyone who wants to do something different locally can figure out how to fit it in the system (the tab/VI guys are usually smart enough to figure that one out, and the rest just don't care enough).

Linear Energy Transfer

It's not radioactive. When high-energy particles strike it, they break apart into lower-energy particles that are more harmful. So, you need enough shielding to catch the particles that break apart in the top layer of your shielding.

While radiation mostly results in transient errors, it can also cause latch-ups that blow a gate off of the die. For rad-hard equipment in space this is mitigated by silicon-on-insulator fabrication, so that you can't have a latch-up between the substrate and a silicon feature.
