Your #2 explanation is vague. Are you saying that the system had no server-side storage of whether a given user had admin rights or not? In #1 you mention "security practices like expiring session tokens in cookie" and then go on

Well, the comment you're replying to only described the issue as "being a cool kid by using JWT bearer tokens", which isn't enough information to accurately describe what's happening. One can only guess... A JWT is

There's some discussion on the health benefits of Marijuana, but to say that "Marijuana talk tends to be focussed _[sic]_ around health benefits still" is blowing things pretty far out of proportion. Cannabis has been a Sched

Really enjoyed reading this, I think I'd like to look more closely at an implementation to understand it further. Reading the article, I was reminded of a nagging question I've had in the back of my mind for a bit. The ASCII table

You're right, politicians are held to a different standard-- a much more strict one. Clinton had her own private email server set up. I'm sure that many people on this forum can back me up on this one, it's quite legal to s

This article is pure fluff. Instead of gathering or analyzing any data, the author merely cites a report, and then uses that as fuel to waste countless paragraphs celebrating the cultures of New York and Silicon Valley, while condemning Se

I feel like I've heard a lot of general hate toward the Kindle when it comes to anything with visuals. For starters, it's in black and white, but that's obvious, and nobody's going to try to sell or buy a coffee table p

I really wish the Kindle team had more imagination. It's a tablet designed for reading enthusiasts-- what about making one for writing enthusiasts? Imagine a very affordable, portable laptop with week-long battery life, completely fre

Out of curiosity, which ad campaign are you talking about? As for which OS (Win/Mac/nix) controls the majority share of developer desktops, I feel like it's always going to depend on what you're developing, so talking ab

Not my BMW, it's 25 years old and the driver's side door doesn't unlock even if you use a key :P All jokes aside (although it's true about my car), it just seems like a fundamental truth that digitally-secured systems al

I find it disappointing that the films on this list are overwhelmingly old. Sure, many of these were groundbreaking and influential in their time, but filmmaking has come such a long way since the days of Hitchcock, for example. In his ori

I don't know what your definition of a "moderately complex" program looks like, but I have to say that from my own dabbling with PureData I really enjoyed the way it handled the concepts of abstraction and encapsulation. It&#

Who said anything about a supercomputer? If you put all of the components of a modern iPhone into a wristwatch except for the screen, you get a device that's more than capable of running for days on end. Sometimes you'll connect

Everyone trying to make smartwatches a "thing" is doing it completely backwards and it makes me disappointed. The successful smartwatch wiill function and look like a normal analog watch with real mechanical hands, except it will

In terms of multiplayer, this guy's completely right. Games need to cater to short attention spans, limited bandwidth, and one-thumb interaction (I would also add async gameplay to the list of things that should be embraced). I don&#

I would check out the loopback framework: http://loopback.io/ It's built on top of express.js and offers some of the more "Railsy" features that express lacks. Also supports this idea of shared models betwee

Not true. Brushless induction motors don't produce ozone, and that's the type of motor used in the Tesla, Leaf, Volt, i3, and any other electric vehicle on the road. Schwarzenegger wouldn't be dumb enough to end this letter

I'm pretty sure most people would disagree with you. People who choose vegetarianism for conscientious reasons don't do it because we've distanced ourselves from our sources of meat, they do it because we slaughter and tortu

I don't think you can really complain about having to have node.js installed in order to run a node.js script. If you want self-contained binaries, learn Go. If you want lightweight scripts that run effortlessly on all unix systems, l

This article just feels irrelevant and completely out of touch. As many people have pointed out here, e-books are insanely popular, just not necessarily through the traditional distributors. Personally, I also believe that there's onl

So you've provided a more thorough version of the "No matter what you say about big-picture statistics, you'd still be safer wearing a helmet" argument. I don't have any problem with you choosing to wear a helmet be

As a frequent cyclist who chooses whether to wear my helmet depending on the type of ride I'm going on, I am so damn tired of people always dragging out the same old tired arguments about bike helmets. All you have to do is say the wo

Your work is incredible. Every time you post an update it's fascinating and humbling. That being said, it's hard to be excited about the game, because there doesn't seem to be one. I'm looking forward to when you relea

It's pretty cool how minimal this is. No JS, not even an external CSS file. And it's snappy too. I almost prefer it to the regular Facebook.

"...he rebuilt Yo's backend. He's baller." That might be the most cringey opening quote I've ever read for an article. Straight out of Silicon Valley (the show). The only explanation I can come up with is that th

I've enjoyed my fair share of anime, and there are some criminally underrated TV series and movies that should be mandatory viewing for American audiences. That being said, once the new car smell wore off, I saw that Japanese animation
