What I want to know is why someone would buy a domain and build this fancy website just to make this one simple point. Same thing also on the front page rn: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30639225

JWTs can totally store state. I've found good use cases for it and I've never understood why people immediately get up in arms about it - possibly conflating the concepts of JWTs themselves and OAuth 2.0. It's just a damned s

You’d need a parachute designed for very high velocity[1] which does exist but this is still likely unreasonable. Heat goes up much faster than drag relative to speed. 1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballute

I’ve never accepted GET with a body but I’ve been burned several times using curl to test APIs. curl and browsers are very different beasts.

I have some yik yak socks I got a few months before they went bankrupt. Didn’t know there’s a market for that.

That's brilliant actually. Basically a futures contract with Nike earning the principle and then commission on every secondary sale without ever even delivering a real product.

Even in high school robotics we built a main chassis and a 1:1 spare for testing and hot swapping parts.

Fashion is fast, but it's not _that_ fast. Most items would break down long before they go out of style.

This is how the iOS NYT Crossword app works. We called it the Server View Model (SVM). The server and UI have "card" models that are described as protobufs and assembled and sent by the server when the user opens the app. The UI h

One non-performance reason is that incrementing IDs inherently leak information about your application and/or your company. If you create an account somewhere and you see that your user ID is 452 you now know how many users the company

I used to feel the same way until I took an unused printer from my office. Now I print a ton of things. Return labels, invitations, envelopes, signed documents, contracts, etc.

Usually http handlers or a database functions are pointer methods on some larger Service or DB struct type. If the config changes, you'd have a mutex within that struct and a method that safely modifies its state by locking and unlocki

What's worse is they also employ high pressure sales tactics to get tenants to settle asap. Young professionals and students moving to the city for the first time are their bread and butter, along with people who decided to end their c

Serious question. How does one go about actually getting a job with the NRO? I’ve heard it doesn’t even have employees, just a consortium of contractors.

On the flip side, a full rewrite is really the only way to surface and understand all of those edge cases. People seem to harp on the idea that rewrites are bad, but I find them to be a natural part of the SDLC. It's a way to refresh t

If you’re shopping for furniture I’ve found Room & Board to be head and shoulders above the rest, in both quality and customer care. No questions asked free returns are a godsend.

It's a great point. The quote I always have in my head at work is from Mr. Wolf in Pulp Fiction. "I'm here to help. If my help isn't appreciated, best of luck, gentlemen." After seeing so many people lose their mind

But maybe it’s useful to have some metadata in the jwt as well that doesn’t need to be verified by the backend?

This is something I’ve gotten into fights with coworkers over when I proposed doing a similar thing. It was a weird circular argument and I’m very curious if someone here has a better opinion than, “JWTs can’t store state because they’re st

GAE Flex is super old at this point and I've never personally met someone who migrated between them (they're pretty different offerings imho). Moving between either GAE to Run has been pretty seamless though.

Cloud Run supports websockets now fyi. This is the approach, more or less, that I use for my personal projects. With CR and Firestore are literally free for my use cases. I only pay a few cents to host some static assets in GCS.

If you're just now looking in to GAE, you should likely be using Cloud Run instead. My company is busily migrating everything there and reaping the benefits.

I've been a professional Go developer since 2015 and I prefer to never use the shorthand. Saving a single line is never worth how much harder it is to read.
