Every decent, moral, law-abiding citizen should be outraged that the people responsible for safeguarding us and upholding the law are violating it on a regular basis.

Speaking as a developer that did turn a side project into a very very minor income stream (pays for my spotify and a few steam games a month), I did very little to try to make it into a income stream. My primary focus was writing software

At least part of this is going to be "helped" by netflix's per account streaming limits. i.e. I can run 2 streams at once, and if I paid more, I could do up to 4. But that means as you add people sharing an account, you eit

Resistive heating is terribly inefficient as a heating method in most cases. Much more effective(in most cases) is stuff like heat pumps. Remember, you aren't grading it on "amount of electricity turned into heat", but on &

Survive? No way. C02 concentration is between 0.036% and 0.041%. 1% would be uncomfortable and cause you to be drowsy. 7%~10% would lead to suffocation.

Heh, I had a dell from years ago with the same thing, and I had a CD with the hack on it. Every once in a while, if I let the battery get too dead(Like the os shut itself off then I left it like that for 2 days), I'd have to dig that

heh, relying on documentation means literally nothing for programming. I have multiple tabs of documentation open and the IDE is the only thing that keeps me from checking in broken code on a regular basis(still happens though). But... to

Except that the spec states that the 0 value is "more special". https://golang.org/ref/spec#The_zero_value I personally like it this way, and it's better, imho, to have a "set everything not specifi

I would think that all of your so called "escape hatches" are just as brittle, if not more. Once I compile a golang program, that binary will always run the same, no dependencies on a runtime that could be updated/changed ou

You forget to mention that golang also has an "unsafe" portion, and I've used it to "hack" around several issues before, all the way up to a (very hacky) dynamic code injection. Don't forget that golang also h

Question, how does this work for stuff like Heartbleed? Do you have to download a diff for every single app that uses OpenSSL? Or is it smart enough to grab one copy of the new library? For that matter, is this going to mean you need to

there isn't much difference between a secure cookie and a JWT. Well, except that JWT is just signed, not encrypted, so your cookie contents are visible. Also, JWT has issues, https://auth0.com/blog/2015/03&#

So you just removed the ability to have a "Log me in forever" checkbox. A expiry date system is literally impossible to revoke without somehow maintaining a list of valid or invalid cookies, and by that point, you are hitting a da

Keep in mind, your authenticated cookie is exactly as easy to MITM as a ID storing cookie, and potentially more dangerous. A session can be deleted from the db, and then that session cookie is dead. An authenticated cookie is good forever

by Vendan 11y ago
Authentication really doesn't do anything that extending your id key by that number of bits wouldn't do, i.e. a 32 byte random ID is just as hard to collide as a 16 byte random ID and a 16 byte signature. Technically, if there ar

"securecookies" is a term used, at least in the context of github.com/gorilla/sessions, to refer to a session storage based on encrypting all of the session data and sending it as a cookie. That means all of your sessio

In fact, you are actually the one who is grossly misguided. Per that exact quote, The GPL permits anyone to make a modified version and use it without ever distributing it to others. What this company is doing is a special case of that

by Vendan 11y ago
IMHO, once you've got a db attached, "secure cookies" are a bad idea.

Sorry if it seemed like I was linking them, but I wasn't in any way. All the grocery store bread where I live, unless you go to the bakery, is this insanely soft sweet stuff, like Wonderbread and such. It feels like I use less sugar

Just cause something is popular doesn't make it good science. The fact that people vote against GMO's in this way is, if anything, depressing.
