This is not my first rodeo. People are always trying to sell their products in these situations. I would not trust a blog post from one of these. We saw the same thing when SOX, GDRP and money laundering laws in EU came about. Some business

It is basically incorrect. Most people in these ingroups are hesitant about sharing things in public. They know it is not ok. The most communication is done within closed safe environments. I have several sect-members on FB and the total no

I use several password managers for various reasons, but I like Bitwarden. I use it both for work and privately. I think it is a bit unclear how Bitwarden the company is setup. That is the only thing that bothers me. Passwords are often not

When you work for companies that make Google a lot of money. Google does all the work for you, so you do not even need to care about support in the first place.

My experience of Google Play is that it is 100% corrupted. I worked with companies that tried to get their apps back onto Google Play for YEARS without success. How do you solve something like “this app is not compliant with program X” when

I think dagre was ok but oversold the quality of the algos it used a bit. In many cases it can be better to use a SVG file generated from Graphviz directly instead.

I worked on systems that have additional code controls on the build servers that can block the builds. It is a bad idea. Let me take an example from the real world. Large monolith site. Some error occurred that needed a hotfix. The hotfix d

What do you want to be paranoid about? One access point or a million access points?

Maybe a better way to put is that you should be smart about why, when, and where to sanitize your data. A comment on a forum should not remove “‘; DO BAD THINGS;”. Why would it? It is just text in probably some UTF8 encoding. No viable web

by AtNightWeCode 5y ago
No, garbage in, garbage out. Sure, things like log or SQL injections should not only be solved by sanitizing. You solve it by separating data and code. A lot of times you really want to store data in a structured canonical way. Usernames fo

I think most systems today do more with less complexity than let us say 10 years ago. I worked on Java systems that have 12-15 layers in the stack. Good luck finding that kind of complexity in a modern system.

Nice. Things ending up being gray is a common problem on the web. I took a deep dive into gradients some time ago. Not CSS but custom calculations that evened out things like brightness, luminescence, contrast and so on. My key takeaway was

The Dunning-Kruger effect is real.

Don't think it works in this case. In general why there are so many overloads in C# with parameters like arg0, arg1, arg2 and so on is because of the poor performance of the params solution for value types.

I would not be surprised if somethings may break if there is a discrepancy between the structs and the memory layout. Stranger things have been seen. If people followed best practices, there would not be a problem in the first place. How to

by AtNightWeCode 5y ago
There is a linter for this I believe. There can never be an automated fix for this since code can depend on the memory layout. Anyway, this is common in programming. At least it was not 4 bytes for the alignment. Things like this also impac

The problem is not really Cloudflare. Captchas are terrible from a UX perspective. Instead of Captchas a lot of companies just log suspicious activities and only enables Captchas when things gotten out of hand. If you design a web site with

TLS termination in the sense that you terminate TLS and then send the traffic to the origins without encryption. Cloudflare services basically works at layer 7 so they must decrypt all the traffic.

by AtNightWeCode 5y ago
Ages ago Cloudflare started to advice against these kinds of setups. I did not even know it was still possible. TLS termination on the edge services is just stupid.

I have implemented things that are illegal. I objected against it in meetings, and it was one of the reasons I left that company. What exactly are you supposed to do as a developer? In general, I think all these trickster managers are just

Worked on several sites with similar setup. Works great and is affordable. One thing to be aware of is that sometimes you can get at a lot of cache misses. Therefor the back-end services must not stop working completely if flooded with requ

Clients should not ignore the certificate warnings. You install the certificates on the client machines.
