I had this bug once a long, long, LONG time ago, since then my password is a sentence that's doesn't look like a password. Of course I'd still change it if it went out to slack :)

#52I often wonder how many authentication log files contain passwords because people in a hurry append it to the username on accident (not visually confirming the Tab/Enter/switch to the password entry).
This is also vaguely similar to the 'test SSL submit' security technique of first entering enough data into login forms to process a submission, and then entering real login info into the 'login failed' retry page after verifying SSL. This has lost some of its luster as non-SSL form submission has fallen out of wide usage.

#53Not to pile on, but my MBP (with "TouchBar" which will assuredly not exist in another year) is always in clamshell mode and connected to two external LG 4K displays. Whether, on which screen(s), or in what state the Mac wakes each morning is completely random. Sometimes it doesn't wake at all. Sometimes I have artifacts on one screen and a desktop on another screen. The sleep/wake sequence is a complete mess, and it…
I have a similar problem running my touchbar Macbook Pro in clamshell mode via a CalDigit USB-C dock. All sorts of issues with it discovering USB devices when you plug the hub in too.
Yes. One day a week my Logitech USB mouse is not recognized or powered by the MBP. Which day it will be is a crapshoot.
If the Woodway treadmills at the Palo Alto Equinox had the same uptime as my Macbook Pro, I don't think certain Apple execs would be happy.

#54I have had this happen with 10.12 and 10.11 on rare occasions. To my knowledge, I'm not doing anything different on the occasions that it does happen.
It wasn't Slack-specific as I've only started using Slack recently.

#55This is really Slack's fault for not automatically turning the password into stars. IRC has done that for years!

So weird to have seen this before it was flagged off the front page yesterday... pure coincidence?

#56Apple has a bug bounty program where they'll legitimately pay you to report bugs directly to them. What's with everyone reporting them to Twitter instead and forgoing the extra cash?

#57Earlier quoted context omitted.
Because of the short delay between waking the Mac and the display lighting up, I always either use spacebar or command key, or click the trackpad/mouse a couple times to wake. Return is a dangerous key!
I hit the shift key
I used to hit the Shift key to manually triple-verify keeping my laptop 'alive' during long videos/presentations but have since switched to the Ctrl key. Thanks Sticky keys!

Amazing.
Reminds me of people being told in chat to hit F10 to enable cheats in Counterstrike Source. Half the gamers would exit immediately.

Yeah, pretty sure mine is in clear text in some ssh auth.logs. Yeah yeah, I should use encryted keybased login (I try to mostly do it.)

No idea why you wouldn't just make it clear the site will open an inappropriate image when linked from HN DON'T OPEN THAT LINK
Yes hopefully the commenter will edit in time to remove the http:// prefix so that it is not clickable.
