JWTs are perfectly fine as a set of signed attributes if you are not using them for stateless session management (what big apps actually do this, in practice?). Most (if not all) popular JWT libraries reject "alg: none" at this po

Quilting is a very Americana mode of remembrance. The African American community has a rich history of story quilting. Also see the AIDS quilt.

To me it's a similar dynamic to the treatment of open source developers. Journalism and open source software are (now) crucial products for the operation of a functioning society but the biggest consumers have no desire to pay for it.

Kubernetes provides a set of common concepts and tools to deploy services into the cloud. This allows developers to (mostly) ignore the underlying provider (Amazon, Google) and focus on deploying, maintaining, and running services. The abst

This is why fast-to-compile languages have become critical for me. Working in Go means that I can make reviews that I can feel confident in.

From the application engineer side I'm not convinced that Kubernetes is particularly complex. I recently ramped up on it and found it liberating, frankly. Once I understood the basic concepts it was much more sensible than staring at a

I feel like nobody is asking: what is the point of all this performance chasing with frontend frameworks? You might get a millisecond here or there. So what? In my experience it has never, ever been the JS rendering layer which has caused u

In all my experience with OOP, it's always been inheritance that is the root of all evil. Rust and Go got this correct by having class-like objects with no inheritance, to achieve encapsulation without fragility. Unfortunately, all the

This would be great in theory. In practice, major devices are hamstrung, like Apple not supporting MST which would enable monitor daisy-chaining.

The "will create trash" reason is why Apple refused to switch to USB-C on the iPhone. They claim this while bundling USB-C to Lightning cables with the iPhone 12 which is among the most junk-worthy, limited-use types of cable I co

It's because when developers are handed an abstraction like static types, they will tend to go as far as possible to create overengineered solutions using that tool, creating complexity that becomes a problem in its own right. TypeScri

This is not the case if setting up and using Mumble would have caused net more friction for the rest of the community. See all the comments about needing to perform constant troubleshooting for mumble users.

Any type of backwards compatibility breakage provides a decision point to either decide: * do I put in the work to upgrade all my code so that it works with this new version? * do I jump ship to some other library/language that I'

Most documentation in dynamic languages I've encountered (like JS) have been wordy attempts at documenting function arguments. This almost always falls short of the goal. Describing object shapes and types is difficult in documentation
