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 log…

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…

It should be able to factor 15.

I was amused but unsurprised to see that this article was deleted when I looked it up...

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…

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 reasonabl…

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 whe…

This is how most of the top of leaderboard works.

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 …

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,…

Let's plug my own "joke" website about my love of Bell Bollards: https://bellbollard.com/ We have bell bollard t-shirts: https://www.zazzle.co.uk/be_more_bollard_t_shirt-2350084277…

Why would this be easier than just making a diamond?

Gutted to hear this. I used these in London and they were magical and extremely convenient. I would show them to visiting friends as if they were one of London's main tourist attra…

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 happ…

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 websit…

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://…

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 ha…

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 invocat…

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 …

Let's plug one of my "joke" domains: http://amibehindacaptiveportal.com If you get any response other than "No" then you're behind a captive portal.

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. …
