Damn. I guess there’s no point in trying it because that guy wrote a fiction novel portraying it as bad. OTOH bodybuilding (the part people care about) and some strength sports allow PEDs. Some people do die young from steroid abuse, but no

It's been a while since I battled this but IIRC, you can set unconcalized headers on requests you serialize yourself (for egress) with a simple workaround (directly add the header to the request's header map rather than the setter

By that I meant the gifted and advanced (Georgios surely had very advanced language skills), not philosophers specifically. I doubt he’d have been restricted from learning about the philosophical material he was interested in either, thou

Serving students like Georgios is one of the things the Soviet Union did very well (of course, there was still discrimination against eg Jews). In the US, it’s not only disrupted by the activists briefly mentioned in the article, but by the

Personally I think smith machines and cable systems are pretty handy for bodybuilding - mostly because they help you isolate certain muscles in a way you can’t do with barbells and dumbbells. Or they allow you to do things like weighted lun

Not to point out the obvious, but most of this is I think just anxiety. I remember when I first started exercising, I was a fat alcoholic that was usually the youngest person there and had no idea what he was doing. I was very anxious about

Pulling movements in general are pretty hard to do with just calisthenics. Anywhere in that big park, is there a nice sturdy pole or post? If so, you can get an elastic band set, usually very inexpensive and portable, and use that to do row

I’m happy for you, but this is kind of phrased a little overly smugly to me. As someone who lifts weights, it sounds like “I don’t go to the grocery, I just eat potatoes and eggs from my backyard farm”. It’s certainly something you can do a

This is an attainable, but uncommon, TC for someone who joined F/G right out of college and got many promotions very quickly (much more attainable at F than G). At 6yoe even higher TCs are possible at certain financial firms. So it’s n

That is in fact what I meant to say, and I thought I said it. Anyway, HTTP/1.1 is still in use a lot of places. I think most people here don’t have any experience building for the kind of use cases I’m considering here (imagine a proxy

Only per the HTTP spec, and this is the same misunderstanding that the golang developers have. Because it's so common to preserve header casing as requests traverse networks in the real world, many users' applications or even deve

Seconding this. Go also has some opinionated standard libraries (want to differentiate between header casings in http requests because your clients/downstream services do? Go fuck yourself!) and shies you away from doing hacky, ugly, d

Yes, the user can still share their access code if they really want to. That’s like them sharing their password. What I’m trying to prevent, while adhering to general authN best practices, is a user accidentally or unknowingly sharing t

My thoughts exactly. I want a simple auth solution that doesn’t push me towards a full batteries-included platform like Firebase and Amplify, nor a highly-configurable/complex “you can do everything auth!” platform. It’s ok if it’s a

I guess it depends on what you mean by a compromised client/ how it’s compromised. The auth flow is: * mainsite.tld checks if user is unauthenticated/uses expired tokens. If so, redirect to Cognito UI hosted in a subdomain (auth.m

The specific vulnerability I’m mentioning is if the user manually copies their post-redirect url (with access code in url params) and shares it with someone else. Specifically “hey check out this cool game!” (I’m making a game), sends a lin

I think this is mostly my own ignorance and inexperience working with AuthN, but I had a harder time than expected just figuring out how to add basic log in and session management to my website. I spent a long time reading all the official

Not yet, I’ll give it a look next time I hack on my site. “Stripe for auth” is exactly what I’m looking for, and I know I still have a lot of auth head bashing left before I ship. I’ll say though, my personal “customer demographic” ATM is m

My recent experience setting up AWS Cognito (not through Amplify) was pretty rough. I think vanilla Cognito doesn’t do a very good job of delivering you something that actually works out of the box with no footguns - you still have to handr

What’s insane to me is that it feels like nobody has actually managed to make this easy for developers yet. If they have, I don’t know about them. I would normally consider myself pretty competent, but I stood up my first fully featured web

Respectfully, do you know what a container actually is? (I’m guessing you think it’s docker, which is a common misconception) The kernel itself does very little to prevent containers from interacting with the host (yes, via syscalls) in a w

by opportune 3y ago
Memory safety isn’t why containers are considered insufficient as a security boundary. It’s exposing essentially the entire Linux feature surface, and the ability to easily interact with the host/other containers that makes them unsafe

If the demand for their services is cyclical, it’s rational to plan around the peak of that cycle.

Agreed, or similarly: all software has a carrying (maintenance, but I think that has connotations of not including full ongoing TCO) cost. Code is a liability in the sense that it has a non-zero carrying cost. The ideal software implementin

I think that speaks more to the low price of YT premium than it does the high price of food. In general a lot of digital content (also most streaming services, and many video games) has amazingly good cost per time-entertained. And that foo

It's not unskilled labor which will preserve, so much as it is labor that is difficult to automate. Plenty of skilled jobs, like being a therapist or surgeon, would also be difficult to automate. McDonalds is also at the far end of the
