This is conspiracy theory logic. You could literally use this same line of argument to blame anything bad on a vague "explosion of javascript", fact free. Not very impressive either since it relies on smearing people's compet

Just because you have a poisoned view of javascript doesn't mean that everything bad has something to do with javascript. In this case JWT was designed by a C# developer at Microsoft. Maybe you can shift gears to whining about .NET in

JWT has nothing to do with javascript, other than being one of the many many languages that have JWT implementations.

then you might as well use jsonschema.

Yes of course you're right about all that. My only point is, it's a fact that devops add templating tags to YAML files. This is not theoretical. The templating tags are likely not escaped properly, so, aside from the worst case sc

great now integrate that in all the automation tools that devops use, and train them how to use the integration instead of just templating the config file. or put another way, stop trying to reinvent the wheel and expect that OTHER people

it comes down to what exactly is the configuration for. Is it a few settings (server urls, ports, table names, s3 buckets, directory paths, usernames and passwords), or are you actually scripting the tool? Build systems almost straddle the

I was making a joke that you can either laugh at or cry at.

If you're templating YAML, it just means that you don't know that you can generate YAML. Dev ops is a very different world. Yes they can script, but that doesn't mean they will modify any part of your program, even a python c

Keep in mind that config files are not just about writing them. They are also about reading , and in my personal experience, when I encounter a heavily scripted config file in some javascript project, my inclination is to flatten it out to

by ZenPsycho 7y ago
move over templated yaml files, get ready for templated python files. I heard you like config files, so I set up a config file for your config file so you can config while you config.

i don’t know how your hosting plan works, but on every plan I’ve looked at, traffic costs money. if your web based business depends on traffic to serve advertising, then no, you’re not doing it in good faith to make the web better.

there should be a mailing list for these things or something. "oembed", "jwt" and "opengraph" are also things that eluded me for a very very long time.

On the off chance that you're adding microformats to your site in good faith rather than just trying to make it accessible to google, there are non google tools, utilities, search engines, applications, browser extensions and so on tha

if, as a UX designer, you don't have opinions, then all you're doing is blindly optimising for metrics that may have nothing to do with actually good experiences. This is why platforms like twitter and facebook are such cacophonou

I know the concept is a little foreign to the crowd on hacker news, but quite a lot of the world runs on building up relationships rather than on laws or software. Apple enforces this sort of thing because film makers most likely don't

You can't prove a negative. But since taking a basic biology class in highschool 25 years ago, I haven't heard of any radical new discoveries in virology that would indicate viruses becoming more harmful than 99.9% benign. Highsch
