Yes, absolutely - this is another big part of it. I love my work, so I'm not just sitting around waiting to go home all day.

Personally: I'm an introvert. That's not to say I never want to talk to people, but I can go an average work day interacting with a few folks via email and call it a good day. When I'm being social, I can't get work done

I'm personally of the opinion that many languages is a good thing. I don't like monocultures much, so on that level, I want dart to succeed. I agree that having a robust dart-first framework (and widget library) is a necessary c

Sure, this sounds pretty clever, but... What's the use case here? Maybe you have some legacy java business library but also need to do something with node? Wouldn't it be smoother / simpler / easier to use services for t

My initial reactions upon hearing this. * wait, is dart still a thing? * this can't be good for angulardart. Basically they're splitting the project into two projects, claiming that both sides will benefit from lots of su

Aha, thanks - so the free hoodie (and they're really nice hoodies!) happened already. The promo page is still pretty neat, though, and a quick perusal of the javascript indicates there may be some more hidden material in there somewher

Does anyone recall a Mr. Robot giveaway with American Giant hoodies? I went to the AG retail space two days ago to figure out what hoodie size I needed, and made a Mr. Robot joke. The salesperson said, "hey, we did a promo with Mr. Rob

There's also this false narrative - the police search TONS of people without finding drugs or anything actionable. They happen to also search people who have drugs. But the only people who go in front of judges are (for the most part)

If you're interested in how law enforcement (in the US) has really evolved toward this (including so-called "consent" searches where the courts have ruled things like stop-and-frisk are legal because people are hypothetically

The point is more along the lines of: the MBTI really can't tell you much. It has very bad psychometric properties (people regular test differently on different days, or show as a mix of two supposed opposing factors). As a theoretical

I found flexbox frog (despite the kind of 'for kids' feel) to be really helpful in elaborating on all the flexbox options. Get the frog to line up with the lily pad with flexbox. http://flexboxfroggy.com/

Thanks. I'm on a mobile in a foreign land, so had issues tracking down a useful link.

That covers everybody on an iDevice - the only browser on iOS is Mobile Safari. Chrome, Firefox, Opera are all skins on top of the Safari Webkit renderer. Interestingly / Ironically / Whateverally, it doesn't cover a ton of

You can include a tamper-proof expiration time in JWT, but you cannot early-expire or extend that JWT easily (you could always pass back a new, extended one transparently). But in my system, I just keep expiring the redis key for 25 hours f

by pfooti 10y ago
What I do: I use tokens (rather than cookies), but I don't use JWT, for some of the reasons listed in the post, such as "can't expire" and "data goes stale". Instead, after authenticating a user, I issue a long

Well, as a for-example, safari's support for indexeddb, service workers, push notifications, and just about everything that makes progressive web apps interesting is pretty lacking. As another for-example, I was able to hard-crash safa

Yah, the tricky bit is safari access. I'd love to put a bunch of time into using service workers, push notifications, and so on to make an app-like experience for my users (it's a forum / social network thingy for teachers),

by pfooti 10y ago
Generally, a "progressive web app" is something that behaves a bit like a regular native app, when the browser supports it and user allows it. This includes using serviceworkers to cache data for offline (and low bandwidth) use, m

Mobile Chrome + Mobile Safari would be a great way to cover enough bases to make a good responsive web app reach a huge audience. The core problem is that Mobile Safari is really quite frustrating in a lot of ways. As a simple example, I ha

I've been doing a fair bit of web app development (single-page, CMS like stuff with user-generated content in the vein of a wiki, forum, or adjacent use space). I keep my session tokens in localstorage, websql, or indexeddb (depending

I don't think so - I have to build javascript onBeforeUnload checks into forms manually. So: you can protect against it (mostly), but only by annoying the other users who actually do want to navigate away. It's lose-lose.

Personally, this isn't bad - some kind of literal notation for date objects seems like a good idea (we already have octal and binary literals). The other option ("#date#") is bad, IMO, since it's a magic string. I don&

Yeah, so I do a lot with JSON right now, and having some kind of spec for APIs is pretty important. My biggest pain point is dates, since there's no simple way to throw some JSON at JSON.parse and get a date out. You have to know, a pr

Luckily, almost all of the H*R stuff has gotten ported to youtube content. It's a little sad to not find the random easter eggs anymore, but the stuff is still there for your eeeemail pleasure. (preeeow paper noise) https://
