Yes! JWTs in the browser are a total pain. You need a way to revoke them (when a user is fired, etc). Or you need to make them crazy short lived (5 minutes). Users need to stay logged in without the tab open for a lot longer than 5 minutes,

Old links to your site might still be http - HSTS prevents that request being in the clear. Also, if you have a man-in-the-middle attack, it doesn't matter if you return a redirect or not as the attacker has already replaced your site

Looks like you were rate limited at the end. They don't rate-limit britishairways.com which is a SNI that you can always access. Lolz.

It does sound like each server is its own process. I think you're correct that it would be a little faster if all games shared a single process. That said, then if one crashed it'd bring the rest down. This is one of those things

Great article. Not understanding the hate. I think the jist of it is, you probably have sufficiently low requests/second (<1000) that using postgres as a cache is totally reasonable - which it is. If your hitting your load tests and

Is this saying that intel will support _only_ 512 instructions? (And not 256). Or that it'll support _both_ 256 and 512 instructions going forwards (and stop doing the nonsense where some cores support 512 and others don't?)

Weirder still, the discounts stack! So blind people can benefit from buying a black-and-white TV for an additional discount. I've given this a lot of thought in the past. The best I could come up with is that "legally blind"

Ehhh. Feel like CAP theorem is a bit overrated. It's correct from a theoretical purist point of view, but you can still solve many of these kinds of issues in practice. (Similarly, people overstate the halting problem - which can be so

We had a bug on the 1st of this month. Some billing code liked to invoice on the last day of the month and failed to account for this month having an extra day. Interesting it happened as soon as the "leap month" started. Easily f

This is for cracking password _hashes_. Most websites won't store a user's plain-text password but will only store the hash of it. Then a hack/exploit might later reveal the website's password hashes. This program helps

My cousin runs a very small home-made html blog. I really like it and it gives me that early 2000s nostalgia. I'm sure he'd be psyched if some people here were to read it. https://deadvey.com https://deadvey

I doubt it. My guess is that you have speakers/headphones connected to your dock and they're picking up some kind of transients when you plug it in. Capacitors charging can also have some sound, but it's usually quite high pi

Interestingly, because your program runs on Linux and is run 5 times, Linux will almost certainly cache the 12gb file to RAM on the first invocation. This means that future invocations don't have to load the file from disk. This also m

Yep. I've seen Bluetooth be affected by microwaves. Also seen WiFi be affected by Bluetooth. It doesn't mean your microwave is unsafe.

When the sun is directly overhead it's meant to be 12:00 - IN THEORY! However as Timezones are pretty wide, most of the time you'll be at least 15 minutes out. Sometimes you'll be out by as much as 3 hours - and you've p

People can simply set the volume on the player louder if there's more background sounds. The trick to the loudness wars is to sound louder (than other songs) at the _same_ volume. If a bar or radio is in the background at a fixed volum

I think "1 million" means 1e6 everywhere. But the confusion might be because "1 billion" means 1e9 in USA but 1e12 in UK/Ireland. "1 trillion" similarly is 1e12 in USA but 1e18 in UK/Ireland. This is

Tangentially related, but does anyone have a trick to Google search for holograms without getting pages of lenticular/pepper's ghost items instead? I'd like to buy a couple of pre-made holograms just to get a feel for them, b
