One thing I've learned leading a backend team is that a strong devops culture is necessary at any company that values its security. Engineers (especially non senior ones) will often adopt new technologies without doing all the research

Fingerprints should not be considered to be a password. They are a username. You can't rotate your fingerprints like you can rotate a password, and what is more you leave your fingerprints on everything you touch.

Very nice. This technique of code organization will bring some of the benefits of microservices even though the code is actually all running in one monolithic process. And as a bonus its not hard to imagine adding RPC capabilities to this l

More than that. A salt for each "session". Each JWT contains two pieces of info: user ID, and salt. This stops the JWT from being a deterministic token that is always the same each time a token is generated for a specific user. It

This is for the use case of: "Something weird happened on my account, so I check sessions and see that someone used my account from across the country. So I log out other sessions."

You ALWAYS will sign your tokens with a well known secret, you could eventually even add some salt from a database to it. Exactly. Each JWT I generate has a salt inside which I store in the DB, and ideally the salt has accompanying

Yeah it is appealing on some levels, and it would be interesting to work there for six months to a year. I wouldn't want to work there for very long though. It would be a nice place to work your ass off for a while with other talented

Exactly. Netflix has a massive culture problem. That's why they have to pay engineers 300k per year to work there.

Absolutely. If you are truly confident in your position, and know it is correct then a dissenting voice shouldn't bother you. Instead you should just feel sorry for them. It's the people who can't handle that a dissenting voi

The thing that people tend to miss about Snapchat is that it has a really creative monetization strategy. I actually like Snapchat ads, while I hate ads everywhere else and install ad blockers on all my devices. The sponsored filters tend t

The only webservice I've run on OSX was a Jenkins webserver to provide an HTTP dashboard for an automated ios app build system running on the same machine. And it was not a pleasant experience at all. I do not recommend using OSX as a

99% of the time when I'm stressed out about code I'm working on its because the product spec is overly complicated, not because the code is bad quality. Interesting study, but I don't think it matches up with real world scena

The way I see it there are two types of messages to friends and spouse. There is the silly little stuff like "Check out this cute dog!" and if Google suggests "Awwww!" as a response, and that was pretty much what I was g

I use suggested responses on Inbox all the time. People tend to send lots of email that only needs a one line response, and the suggested responses of "Thanks for confirming", "That time works for me", etc. are perfect.

Verizon FIOS was doing this about a year ago in the NYC area. I was getting crappy YouTube and Netflix playback but everything else was fast. My solution was to use a VPN service, and suddenly I was magically streaming Netflix and YouTube i

I didn't get in on the survey and got the old box in the A/B test, but I would 100% prefer the white one with the illustration for my subscription. I order my candy to the office to share and people usually see the box from Japan

Airtime employee here: You aren't wrong about the appstore ranking but it is definitely still a bit early to call the app "dead". The Social Networking category is a crowded one with lots of competition but I think we have so

For me it isn't a question as to whether or not this specific man poses a threat and is worthy of death, it is an issue of how he is being judged to be a threat, and judged worthy of death. The drone powered war is a system in which an

People who don't get addicted to chemical drugs don't get addicted because they have things in their lives (rewarding work, good relationships/sex, religion and other forms of self actualization) which gives them dopamine tri

That'd be my guess. The tech wouldn't even have to be that sophisticated to be the most addictive thing ever, unfortunately. Your brain already has the ability to hallucinate worlds very vividly (in fact it does so every night whe

In my opinion it's much more likely that sentient beings apathy themselves into extinction. Humans already show a tendency towards addiction to technology that exploits dopamine triggers, as social networks like Facebook do. Now imagin

What I've noticed is that Google is trying to be too smart. Their search result quality went down big time about a month ago and I noticed that for many queries they were dropping some of the query words I had entered so that they coul
