Or access to a service that has access to the hashes/revocation strings. Which puts you in a similar situation to non-JWT scenarios where every service has to phone home to check a token's validity. I'm not saying all tokens

JWTs can be revoked if you sign them with application_key + some_user_revocation_string. This is how password reset tokens work in Django, for example. They're signed with the app's secret key + the user's existing passwor

I tried doing a proof of concept with this and some production data a couple years ago. Reading in a CSV file gave error after error after error. I eventually gave up.

I can see why there would be conflicts going case sensitive -> case insensitive, but I can't see why there would be conflicts going the other way. Am I missing something?

This is the biggie for me. When the next heartbleed comes out, it would REALLY suck to be running a bunch of opaque images that you have no idea how to patch.

Have you used eventlet or gevent? I thought they were game changers. Gevent has been working very well for me for quite a while, without callback hell.

A couple thoughts: - With Redshift, you can just click a couple buttons in the AWS console to create a new DB and try it out. When you're done experimenting, you can shut it off. - Citus is open source, so you can experiment on your o

I think you're right about the mental shortcuts, but the main effect I see at play in the article is about misaligned incentives. It's in the organization's interest to hire the underrated, but it's not in the HR recruit

One nice thing about GridFS is that the spec is maintained by MongoDB and consistently implemented in all its major DB drivers. Any plans to port this to other languages, or get the spec blessed by RethinkDB?

The article specifically mentions first class DOM manipulation as one of the next goals. That's been part of the plan from the start. Maybe you're thinking of web workers?

Github has special rendering for Markdown and CSV files. Would be awesome if they did the same for Lilypond and/or MusicXML and made such files playable.

Disappointing to see this die. I would really like there to be some open, public API with a knowledge engine backend that could be part of an open source alternative to Siri, Cortana, Echo, etc.

I have a make task that uses chokidar to watch changes to my JS and CSS. When one changes, chokidar then calls another make task to rebuild things.

To use the article's terminology, I "flipped the table" about a year ago on build tools, when first learning React and ES6. Every tool in the JS world seems to want to be the center of its own ecosystem where all the other

IIRC, Docker has used content-addressable storage for layers for a very long time (in the form of filesystem directories whose names looked like md5 hashes). I'm not sure what's changed. Maybe just the hash function?

With the recent defection by Kubernetes against the Docker networking model, and earlier friction with CoreOS and the app container spec, this is already happening. Unfortunately, I think the voices of reason are still getting drowned out i

That's a worry that I share. The good thing about hacks like the OP's is that they push us further in the direction of this technology being open and controlled by the user. We need more of that.
