Assuming that the JWT only stores the user_id, and you then load the full user (protecting against stale data), a counter or a timestamp on the user object can be used to control logout. There's a good Go library detailing this approac

I've gone deep into Go, finding it a fun change from daily work. The project I'm working on isn't ready yet, but I've managed to extract and share my first package[1], for handling and formatting currency amounts. [1] h

Communicating expectations / setting boundaries feels key to avoiding negativity on both sides. I recently read an article titled "Healthy Open Source Maintenance"[1], which proposed the introduction of a MAINTENANCE_MANIFEST

FreeBSD tends to have the latest KDE while OpenBSD tends to have the latest GNOME. AFAIK no BSD has both (which is understandable, considering how complex it is to package software of this size).

Thankfully, getting less and less outdated (thanks to FreeBSD's wrapper layer, and OpenBSD Foundation sponsoring its own work). FreeBSD 12.0 has Linux DRM 4.16 code (April 2018), while -current has Linux DRM 5.0 code (March 2019). Open

And a migration to git is being evaluated: https://twitter.com/lattera/status/1132084341213933569 DragonFly BSD, a FreeBSD 4.x fork, has also used git successfully since early 2009, I believe.

Since you mentioned CKEditor 5, I'll be bold enough to go a bit into off-topic. CKEditor 5 is an incredibly impressive endeavour, and I've been following it with great interest. However, one of the things that separates it from th

Yes. And by closing the loophole while staying viral, it makes it unlikely that anyone would ever use AGPL code. For example, if you use an AGPL CMS to power your website, you now need to open source the entire thing. So, I'm not sayin

Fascinating article, and one that matches my recent thinking. I am a part of a large GPL open source project, but am not sure that the GPL made a big difference there, since "distribution" is a loophole large enough to drive a tru

A great related article is the introduction to PubGrub, the new solver algorithm for Dart's package manager. I especially liked the focus on better error messages, which can get pretty cryptic in other package managers. https:/&#

I always understood this article as being about software design in open source. Every project (library, application, you name it) needs to be designed, by one or more people thinking deeply about the problem space. You can't expect so

You do need to know whose rate you applied. Even if the UK and the French rate are the same, you need to know whether you charged the UK rate or the French rate, and they might change and get out of sync on different dates. So you gain noth

"There are 28 countries in the EU with 75 different VAT rates, and businesses are expected to apply the correct one." This also changes expectations from ecommerce software. It is not feasible to expect the administrator to resea
