My mind was blown when we invested a week in setting up DevOps, then realised it has a critical flaw in that the automated build agent will just go into hibernation if there was no build activity for a few hours. So then you have to write a

That was said by him in 2000 - the Lisbon treaty was 2009. In 2000 the only path possible for the UK and EU was "further integration". There was no ability to exit i.e. there was no Article 50. One can imagine if exiting the EU wa

He is a Brexiteer who has seen the writing on the wall. That Brexit is being thwarted and the probability of escaping the EU reducing every week. He is a realist and a businessman and a Brexiteer. He would have loved to have seen Brexit rea

The Remainers are desperate to portray this as hypocrisy by Sir James Dyson. It is actually the opposite. He has been moving more and more of his business out of the EU and UK to Singapore over the last 10-15 years and moving the headquarte

They use water cannon in the rest of Europe, and even tear gas. What's the problem? They should have had a water cannon for the London Riots in 2012 - and that is why they purchased some. Which the current mayor has selfishly used for

JWT tokens being passed via cookies is a valid use case.

You can horizontally scale counters with CRDTs, specifically the G-Counter. Whereas it is harder to scale a (usually) opaque blob of application state a.k.a. session state.

User registry can scaled however you want it to be. It is simply the service that manages user accounts, passwords, permissions, and of course issues the JWT tokens. Equally it can be a horizontally scaled micro service.

It is a poorly written article, with an unexpected conclusion. After all the - what feels like ranting and ignoring SPA problems at every opportunity - he ends with a conclusion that the only reason he is using SPA is because they tend to p

Storing security claims i.e. permissions in the JWT token is a valid use. This isn't session state. Those permissions don't change, they are in fact cryptographically immutable, until the next renewal of the token. Whereas by defi

Cookies are implementation dependent. It's quite possible that a user agent doesn't honour what you instructed it to do regarding the expiration of a cookie. JWT however... your server side can validate its own token in whatever w

by nbevans 8y ago
Sure why not? Each user account has a counter or timestamp on it in the user registry. If the JWT token in the request passes crypto validation but it has an older counter/timestamp than held in the user registry then it is deemed inva

JWT is an authentication token - it isn't session state. Session state changes during the lifetime of a session. Whereas the authentication token does not - other than for renewals. Overloading the authentication token to also store un

You can't access a cookie from JavaScript if it is marked with the HttpOnly flag.

His hatred for Azure ruins the article. There seems to be a massive correlation at the moment between Kubernetes and hyped up magpie egomaniac developers.

So much this! "Flick" or "flicks" is a reference to the flickering that happens during old fashioned mechanical projection.

Usually when a piece of tech is protected purely by obscurity in this way, the tech isn't really tech. It is more likely something that a decent programmer/hacker could figure out in a day or two. That's why they are scared t

The COM side rant is still relevant today. All of the UWP framework for "modern Windows Store apps" is built on top of COM. It's like a time warp. The JavaScript and .NET SDKs for UWP apps are just wrappers around what is rea

Looking at Oracle's website, after getting past the hilarious Cookies Policy modal prompt, you really wouldn't think they were genuinely in the cloud business. It just looks like sales fodder with no substance behind it.

Just research SOLID and IOC and practice these in combination with a Java or C# or other OOP-inspired language. That will get you pretty close.

It can. Just make sure you "prepare ()" your statements. This turns them into a compiled set of VM instructions.

Indeed - we designed ours in a similar way as you describe and whilst GDPR causes a small bit of work for us it is not like we face a total design flaw type issue that it appears people are experiencing with Kafka. We are looking at adding
