Yeah this is really cool! To your point about WorkOS.js -- how would a customer know where to find their SAML metadata? Some of this can be done inline in WorkOS.js, of course. But no amount of inline docs in WorkOS.js's UI is going to

I fully appreciate how difficult this is to do, but I think it would be immensely useful if WorkOS provided the docs that I (the SAML SP, your customer) provide to my customers who are setting up SAML (as an IdP) on their end. One of the bi

Perhaps an equivalent as in France could help? Macron has stated that no company, regardless of size, will go under merely as a result of this crisis. To that end, any French company at risk of going under will be allowed to stop paying ren

I'm guessing it depends on what your users expect: https://plainlanguage.gov/guidelines/audience/ IBM has some guidance on this too, as part of their design system: https://www.carbondesignsystem.c

All of plainlanguage.gov is a treasure trove of good advice on writing -- definitely a site worth exploring!

In addition to the point made in the article, even some RFCs do not indicate "what the IETF thinks". And I'm not just talking about April 1st RFCs. The IETF has the "Independent Submission Editor" stream of RFCs, wh

Oh I see! I was misunderstanding what you meant by "quickly"; it seems you're referring to the sensor delay / how tight the feedback loop is. Thanks for explaining!

This sounds a lot like the control-theory problem of balancing the proportional, integral, and derivative coefficients of a PID controller [1]? I'm curious how you reached this condition as a requirement: > The moral of the story he

Do you have any resources online for how well this approach works in practice? I've been thinking about doing this in replacing a MongoDB database.

Yes -- although it's rather rare. There's only one place in San Francisco with snooker tables, to my knowledge, but such places do exist: https://www.yelp.com/biz/legend-billiards-and-snooker-sf-san...

To "carom" a ball, in America, is to hit the cue ball into ball X, and then after that collision, the cue ball goes on to hit ball Y. In Britain this is known as a "cannon", as in you cannon the cue ball off of X into Y.

Not quite -- if a single poor chap starts off with Very Bad torture, maximin will perscribe that everyone else have Medium Bad torture as long as the single worst-off person does a little better.

Indeed, the RFC says so directly: CBOR was inspired by MessagePack. MessagePack was developed and promoted by Sadayuki Furuhashi ("frsyuki"). This reference to MessagePack is solely for attribution; CBOR is not intend

I am wondering how things like OpenTracing-esque spans and sub-spans fit into the format Stripe describes. Are they just logged as `subspan1`, `subspan2`, `subspan3` in the log format? It seems like that works, but I'm also unclear if

Last I checked, the proposed alternative (date-fns) doesn't expose a straightforward way to parse an RFC3339 timestamp, without any further bells and whistles. That's the reason I last used Moment.js, but otherwise I'd be hap

I don't think that leading period is redundant. It indicates that the top-level value is an object, as opposed to an array or some basic value.

https://github.com/ory/ladon is an option. Essentially, it imposes a lot of the fine-grained access control model on you, but then it's up to you to implement the actual database/business-logic layer [1] as w

Yup, that works! It also downloads docs so you can `cargo doc` and then you can peruse the generated docs for all of your dependencies.

I sort of fail to see why this is such a terrible abuse. Even in France, it doesn't seem absurd to recognize that St. Denis and Paris aren't really operating in the same economic world. It seems that Budapest, Warsaw, and Vilnius

This comes up because many implementations of "UTF-16" are in fact naive, and just operate within the mentality of UCS-2, where everything is just a 16-bit number. This is relevant within this discussion because we were talking ab

These organizations do have such an incentive. The very essence of GDPR is to create these incentives. The EU's goal with GDPR was to make user data a liability , and to encourage organizations to reconsider their need to hoover a

The sibling comment is right -- and furthermore, thanks to holdovers from colonialism, the EU is a vast area that the sun never sets on. Reunion, French Guinea, and Curacao are just as European as Bruxelles is.

Perhaps it has use in bot detection, but: 1. Facebook's "need" to prevent bots ought to be subservient to their need to acquire consent. GDPR requires such consent. 2. It seems quite likely that the persons giving this talk

Likely the commenter is referring to development environments, where it is common for infra to be put in bizarre states by actors performing changes. Terraform alone is does not constitute change control.
