Step Functions have great potential for orchestrating complex executions of Lambdas or even fleets of them. My co-workers and I designed a threadpool pattern with step functions that we use for orchestrating complex long-running tasks: htt

In reality Google Maps is farther ahead of its competitors than most people realize. Google Maps now provides wholly personalized points of interest and attention affordances in its UI. It's also well on its way to 3D scanning and anno

This is actually a violation of the "see what is signed" principle. When verifying an XML signature, you need to only look at the data that was signed, and disregard everything else. The XML Signature standard defines a number of

To give even more credit where it's due, requests is a nice wrapper around urllib3, which is the work of Andrey Petrov, Cory Benfield and contributors. While requests provides good user-friendly defaults and API semantics, urllib3 does

jq is by far the best developed and has the most intuitive syntax, but it doesn't have a formal spec for its language. I have been maintaining https://github.com/kislyuk/yq , which wraps jq with a transcoder for YA

In my area, the non-profit (in name only) hospital system uses aggressive pricing, advertising, and takeover tactics to drive existing hospitals out of business, buy them out, dump unprofitable patient groups, recruit profitable ones, and t

In my experience, the Thinkpad chiclet keyboard is awful in terms of its key layout, and inferior in keypress tactile feel. The keyboard I prefer above all others is the earlier generation Thinkpad USB keyboard, the SK-8855 ( http:/&#x

I run stock LEDE on Archer C7v2 and have had zero problems with it (I ran OpenWRT before LEDE made a stable release). I could buy a Ubiquiti gateway and AP, but C7v2 is less expensive and gives me an appreciation for embedded device program

Look at the map. Six city blocks at North Berkeley and 2-3 at Ashby. You could easily put 2000+ new units there if you get past the NIMBYs. Most other stations in the East Bay already have all adjacent lots spoken for with (relatively) high

Actually, it's trivial to do in your head. 100 * 100 cubic centimeters of water = 10 liters. Times pi/4 to correct for the circular cross section, so approx. 8 liters.

Thanks for the thorough response. I haven't heard of TinySAML before, are we talking about https://github.com/nicolas-raoul/Tiny-SAML-IDP ? In general, my experience with SAML in the wild is congruent to yours with

by ak217 9y ago
Thanks. Can't say I agree on the basis of this list that JWT/OIDC is equally bad to SAML. SAML is an outdated, ill-designed piece of crap that is a ticking time bomb of an implementation nightmare, in large part because almost nob

by ak217 9y ago
Can you please elaborate on what's awful about JWT/OIDC? I ask because I've implemented SAML-based IdPs and SPs before, and SAML is a serious trainwreck of a protocol. Now I'm looking at implementing OIDC and at first gl

I agree with you - MWS should be spun off. It's not part of AWS and the API has many differences (but because there are also lots of similarities, it would probably make sense to build a replacement using some of the botocore utility c

boto is effectively a deprecated package. Use boto3, which has a far better architecture, is rigorously tested and maintained with lots of community activity.
