This reminded me of Frank McSherry's article "Scalability! But at what COST?" (2015) - https://www.frankmcsherry.org/graph/scalability/cost/2015/01... Where he shows a single laptop beatin

Not necessarily. The code could be a part of what's combined with the cookie for the login. And the site could trash the cookie if tried once with an invalid code just as it would replace it with an auth cookie on success. A real attac

I use a similar technique to this author's on my site (for about 5 years now) but it is a variant where even if someone got the email or you forward it accidentally to someone, they won't be able to use it to login. Technique desc

Some time ago, I overheard a conversation between my kids. The younger one wanted to find out about something on the internet (don't recall/missed what) and told the older one "let's ask Google" .. to which the olde

Interesting. I had the opposite experience and could use my notes (taken in workflowy while reading papers) towards my thesis rather well. Tried Roam for a while but realized pretty early on it wasn't going to work for me. Main reason

Is this in any book? Would love to read about it and learn.

A collaboration.. and even the article says 8 years of hard work and missteps and still we stick to the "Einstein's genius" narrative. I think the genius narrative is disingenuous to the person and discounts all the effort an

Any comments on observed latencies and jitter when using MQTT? Musical applications are quite demanding on that front.

Wish name collision was avoided. When I saw the title at first I thought it was going to be about the Cassowary constraint solver used in UI layout (recency bias for me).

Not to mention how the wired apple earphones are way better in terms of audio quality during calls than airpods (own both, and airpod "pro" to boot). Heck, during most calls, my colleagues tell me that the sound is way better when

Very well raised points! Having a cryptographer taking up this topic has become a rarity, and that says something. I have not delved into the NFT world much, although I am quite familiar with blockchains and smart contracts. I've argue

If you really want to optimize image size, use Nix! Ex: https://gist.github.com/sigma/9887c299da60955734f0fff6e2faee... Since it captures exact dependencies, it becomes easier to put just what you need in the image. Pr

I've been intrigued by dgraph ( https://dgraph.io ) and used it to good effect in a (toy) project where it felt easy to create and evolve it's data model given changing requirements. Dgraph uses graphql as its native que

The "devops philosophy" is not a fundamental fact of nature (of dev teams or whatever). If deploying stuff is complicated, it is not surprising that we'll have teams that specialise in it. The naming/identification of th

Kids take pains to get their robux and other in-game points calculations correct for example because theyfeel real for them. Otherwise it is just a matter of following your teacher's rules.

One issue I see in school systems is that a failure is just indicated as that - "wrong, try again" or "failed". The consequences of being wrong aren't immediately real. When they are (as at a vegetable market in che

The book came out of Ousterhout's course on software design where he reviews student code as they work on a significant problem - building a text editor. There is very little (if any) material out there of this nature that goes much

This is right, however we also need to acknowledge the prevalence of books which put forth some good ideas, but which perhaps can be summarized in a page or so. Instead they choose to labor on and on around the same point(s) without adding

It's been sort of 18 years since I started using another heuristic - if you can google for something, don't bother requiring a candidate to know it. Not an exact principle, but somewhat like that .. in that I'm more curious a

Yes indeed. The names are relevant for communication (i.e. to become a part of a "discourse community" [1]), but are not indicative of one's competence at a topic. They kind of go hand in hand often due to arranged education,

The Feynman principle applies - it is important to know the thing and not as important to know it's name. In an interview, find out if the person knows them thing or can work it out.

And for true blue native apps, the web hasn't quite eaten desktop just yet. Try to get a professional video editor to use a website for production work like movies, or get an audio engineer to use a web based DAE (the latter is getting
