I never poisoned data, but I have implemented systems where clients who made requests too quickly got served data from a snapshot that only updated every 15 minutes.

I believe they will eventually. But first, the spec needs to be finalized (in progress), implemented in all the libraries that need to support it (some in progress, some unaware this is coming), and deployed by all federation managers and m

Multilateral federation is SAML's killer app, and why higher education still uses it instead of OIDC.

Yes. In an environment where you have so many clients that they can DDoS the antivirus management server, you have to stagger the update schedule anyway. The way we set it up, sysadmins/help desk/dev deployments updated on day 1,

There's an entire industry devoted to teaching people how to flip Amazon return pallets. The warnings not to relist returns as new on Amazon might as well be instructions to do exactly that.

I've yet to find anything better than pen and paper. You just grab the pen and go. Also, it's really hard to hack paper. Apple Pencil & iPad works fairly well, but the multipurpose nature of the device often means that I need

Everytime I encounter a "daily consumption of ${thing widely believed to be unhealthy} improves health" story it inevitably turns out that the researchers just found another proxy for socio-economic status. Could that be the case

It needs write-ahead logging and better transaction isolation before it can be taken seriously for high transaction volume environments. Neat concept, though.

Or, like, people could just use both. I realize that means running yet another instance of Chrome, but it's 2024. Even Macs can multitask.
