HUGE fan of Keycloak! It's an outstanding IAM platform. AuthN/AuthZ? Great! SAML? OIDC? Awesome! Token translation??? (SAML->JWT) Incredible! It's really a delight to work with. If I had one item on my wishlist

Yes. Absolutely. While you may very well have long-term success without a degree, in a lot of industries a lack of a degree limits your upward mobility. I work with some very talented and experienced individuals who are self-taught. The

Simple: Don't. Developing a secure authentication service is actually more difficult than it would seem on the surface. I've come to rely on an external authentication service (or, if necessary, a reputable library/framewo

There is a single Eclipse plugin that keeps me married to that IDE: log4e ( http://log4e.de ). It makes it a breeze to add logging statements to your code. One click puts start/end statements on all methods. One click lets yo

It's an outstanding show. It's quickly become my favorite content on Disney+. They could triple the amount of episodes and it wouldn't be enough. It's produced and directed really well with tons of great content.

I couldn't agree more. I'm anxious to see it build up a rich developer ecosystem like Java has. The availability of so many 3rd party libs for Java is a huge advantage. If Swift gets to that point I can see it taking over all o

I develop Swift on Linux all the time and have no issues. The only thing I don't like is that Ubuntu is the only officially supported platform. We've had to roll our own packages to support CentOS/RHEL. In spite of that, i

Keycloak is an identity/authentication provider. Your app would leverage it using OpenID Connect (OAuth 2). Keycloak would handle the heavy lifting related to identity management, registration, password changes, authentication, etc.

Aspiring survivor of a stage 3 sarcoma here. I went through 8 months of treatment in 2016. I had no symptoms, no pain, NOTHING prior to being diagnosed. There was just a huge lump on my shoulder. The idea that I was about to willingly p

Swift on Linux is great! I use it for a ton of projects, both standalone as well as for microservices development. Aside from cryptographic operations (provided by CommonCrypto on the Mac) I haven't really encountered any scenarios w

That's one of the things that destroyed Owings Mills. The mall there used to be the more expensive mall in the area. Slowly but surely, the metro station led to an uptick in crime. Stores shut down. Entire wings of the mall were em

I'm actually doing the exact same thing. I started my managerial role on 1/1, so I'm definitely interested in the advice presented here. Thanks!

I'd have to say OS/2. I remember vividly asking -- BEGGING! -- my parents to buy me a copy of OS/2 2.1 for Windows for Christmas when I was a teenager. (It was OS/2 that used a copy of Windows you provided, rather than

If we're talking webapps, I tend to go to https://themeforest.net and buy HTML themes developed by professional designers. The cost is MUCH cheaper than hiring someone to develop the UI for you, and a lot of them are extre

Reading through Apple's MDM protocol documentation and coding up one yourself is a great learning exercise. I had an idea for a niche MDM product and coded up a proof of concept. Eventually I realized the idea wasn't profitable,

Personally, I wish Swift had a larger server-side ecosystem around it. I love the language, and some of the new web app frameworks (Vapor, Perfect, Kitura, etc.) are really great. However, there just aren't as many open-source, third

Better crypto support in platform-agnostic Swift is definitely #1 on my wishlist. On macOS/iOS you have Apple's libraries to provide cryptographic support. However, for server-side Swift running on Linux, your options are pretty

I work with Swift on a daily basis, both on iOS as well as server-side. I absolutely love it. Historically, I've written a lot of Java, primarily for large enterprise apps. For a few years I took over enterprise iOS development and

That's my big gripe with this. I'm not a huge fan of anything from Microsoft, but these look VERY cool. However, we're a big Mac/iOS shop, so interoperability would be a concern. And, I'm afraid, non-existant.

I check out your site every few weeks. I really enjoy looking at the design and layouts in offices around the world. No real reason for it. It’s just a nice distraction sometimes. (Especially in boring meetings!) Keep up the good work!

If you're referring to a properly run CA, then they're a good model to follow. Some of them, obviously, do not implement proper operational security procedures, but a good many of them do. It's usually required in order to

Cancer is a horrible disease. And the current treatments are barbaric. As someone who just finished chemo a year ago, I can't wait for treatments like this to become effective and more mainstream. Best of luck to your wife, and tell

I'm still waiting for Swift support on RHEL/CentOS. It's great that Swift finally runs on Linux, but my company has standardized on RHEL, so we can't run Ubuntu to get Swift support. If RedHat rolled out RPMS for Swift

I considered that, actually. When my kids told their friends what our plan was, they ALL said they wanted to do it too. However, a secondary goal of this project is to be a family thing. Our summer last year was ruined (I spent all of 20
