As you know, there are many plugins to do authentication in Kong. We started with jwt, then a coworker decided that we needed a more flexible approach so he basically forked the jwt plugin to add stuff for our needs. It quickly became confusing and hard to maintain.

When we tried to introduce a new feature (tokens similar to what Github offers with personal token, that is a revocable token with a given set of permissions), we had a rough time.

In the end, the decision to fork the plugin was maybe not the good one and the decision to bring the token feature into this plugin were maybe not the right one. But still, working in the plugin code was unpleasant in my opinion.

By the way, keep up the good work, it's a solid piece of software!
hehe it was also the secret monkey code on some old raid controllers to tell them to commit their cache to disk. It isn't even strictly required these days, but old bugs and features find their way into systems all the time, so I just keep the old incantations around as paranoid habits. :)
RE: Antitrust - on the right track. Consumer's can't solve this from the ground up. What's needed is to prevent certain kinds of key acquisitions. The law around acquisitions is too permissive in an age of network effects; acquisition laws were fine pre-internet but don't solve their intended purpose anymore. Normally, the market corrects against the biggest players because the biggest players are slow to change culture and their business. But, acquisitions are the mechanism by which the big players are preventing themselves from being disrupted by smaller, more nimble players. If the big players can simply buy up any new comers (who will want a deserved pay-out for their efforts) on the scene, they maintain complete control regardless of what consumers want. Otherwise, any "alternative practices" you try to foster will simply be crushed, if they ever become a large enough threat.

Facebook acquiring Instagram is a perfect example.
On the other hand, gold will remain liquid in a situation where the technological fabric of current society breaks down. That kind of survivalist logic is one major reason why private individuals own gold.

If I keep Krugerrands stashed under my pillow because I expect Neo-Stalinists to one day take control of the continent and confiscate all property held in digital systems, it doesn't seem like Bitcoin will give me much peace of mind. Surely the New World Order will shut down my Internet access too?

(I could be wrong though. The Bitcoin maximalists are a weird bunch. I follow one such guy on Twitter, and he seems to post a lot of pictures of guns with USB sticks when he's not promising to take more Bitcoin tattoos or bashing Ethereum as "beta cuck fake coin".)
I've been wanting to do something like this for awhile since I already keep fish (as pets) and grow hydroponics separately. Unfortunately living in an apartment there's only so much space and I can't do things like run pipes under the floor.

For anyone that's confused, it's because now we're really getting into the weeds of how the grid works. :) It's only fair to look back and compare from the same point in the grid, in order to be an apples to apples comparison. Really we should look at the whole electricity supply chain.

Level 1 & 2 charging: high voltage AC transmission line -> local substation converts to 480V AC -> distribution lines (poles or buried) -> pole-mounted or buried transformer converts to 110/220V AC -> household wiring -> cable -> onboard charger converts to 400V DC -> battery

Level 3 charging: high voltage AC transmission line -> on-site transformer converts to 480V AC -> offboard charger converts to 400V DC -> cable -> battery

In the northeast region of Brazil, which has arid climate similar to north Africa, cactus has been used for cattle and human consumption since forever. I know of four edible species, and one is even used for jam and liquor.

>The browser is irrelevant to net neutrality. //

It's not the currently spoken of Net Neutrality, but it's relevant to the neutral carriage of data over the internet. If browser companies pick and choose whose data to delay (or otherwise alter) then they have the power to bias the web - Firefox could always delay scripts from other companies than Google, for example, in order to preference their business associate. They presumably aren't informing users, or requiring users to enable the function.

In short it seems highly pertinent in the net neutrality debate, to me, despite perhaps not having reached problematic levels and despite not being the specific form of neutrality that has erstwhile been grabbing the headlines.
If you aren't complaining because it violates the spec, what are you complaining about? Is any change to any detail about how a browser works necessarily bad?
Interesting. What are the economics arguments for Bitcoin replacing gold? Does the “ease of transaction” of Bitcoin provide an implicit value over gold and is that factored into the price of Bitcoin as maybe a fixed value?

Trouble is the amount of popular websites that simply don't care how long the page takes to load, 30 seconds would be acceptable to many as long as they get their advertising dollars.

Users won't know who to blame. They might blame the site but they're just as likely to blame Firefox, Microsoft, their ISP or a virus. There needs to be a display saying "hey, this site is slow because it's tracking you in 15 different ways, would you like to disable this permanently?".
Email Attachment automatic upload in dropbox
How many time you have asked yourself: “mmmhhh where is the file received via email” or “It would be cool an email attachments extractor to extract attachments and save them automatically, I’m bored of doing it manually”.
Everyone got several personal own stories about the never-ending battle of the attachments management.
We have received a lot of requests in this sense from our customers and we have implemented a feature that allows moving automatically email's attachments straight to your personal Dropbox account.
"Straight to" means that you don't need to read your email since the add-on works at server side.
If someone sends you an email, you will be automatically notified by dropbox about the incoming file.
The path is built taking into account the email domain and the account itself.
Let's show an example that it's faster than any words.
If the incoming email is Robert@reddit.com the final path will be: application/servermx/reddit.com/Robert.
For now is the first solution but we are implementing a panel to allow customizations.
This features: "mail attachment downloader" could be helpful in several scenarios since allows to make shorter the chain between the sender and the receiver and classified the documents.
We look forward to receive your ideas, suggestions to improve this new service.

GP wasn't talking about the rewrite, they were talking about the original codebase. In other words, how did the codebase for a couple of Flash games balloon to 1.4 million lines of code?
I had the impression it was dead for years now.

I know a few freelancers who made a living doing Flash stuff and they stopped right after Apple said it wouldn't be a thing on iOS, because their project requests dropped dramatically.
That is an available option as well. In preferences, under "Privacy & Security", set "Tracking Protection" to "Always".
I don’t think it’s at all new for feature writing of this type (it's been done, I think, for decades in print.)

Online, section distinctions that would segregated the kind of content to which this practice would apply are less noticeable than in print newspapers, though.
Also completely ignores the all-in-one design of the iMac Pro.

I'm not entirely sure how sending bitcoin wallets through email would solve liquidity issues though.

I'm currently running a hackintosh with a i7 6700k, 32GB DDR4 RAM, GTX 1080Ti, 4 SSD's. M.2 SSD's are not yet supported on hackintoshes as far as I know, I did not know this upon buying parts and ended up using it for a linux installation.

I think it was also very misleading to say, under memory, "you might want to upgrade to ECC if..." without mentioning that the cpu doesn't support ECC memory, so you'd need to get a better cpu + mobo too.
Yep, you can obviously beat workstation/server grade hardware by building a gaming PC. The (i)Mac Pro is not a gaming PC. And if you're already spending multiple thousands for a production workstation, it seems ridiculous to not get an official machine with a warranty and support.

This makes a lot of sense. Doing a major refactoring while migrating to a new language/platform is much harder than refactoring a codebase so that it more closely mimics a line by line translation to a new language, and then doing the line by line translation. It may look like more work, especially since you are almost guaranteed to touch the same code twice, but the the cognitive load is so much lower each time, that the extra effort will make it all so much easier.

I was raised in the rural midwest and moved to San Francisco for the same reasons as you. It is shocking how much religious extremism, homophobia, and racism exist in the midwest. Growing up in the midwest, kids and adults alike would come up us and tell us we were going to hell, or to go back to where we came from, or call us racial slurs like "sandnigger". Grown adults had no problem harassing little kids at school or the playground. People shot our windows a few times. Racism is so widespread in Missouri that the NAACP has issued a travel advisory and warned minorities to not travel there. Earlier this year a Garmin engineer was murdered in Kansas by a racist who walked into a bar and shot two Indians. There is no way I would raise my children in the midwest.

Why not just include ECC and a Xeon? It'll make the comparison make sense.
EC-cards are widely accepted, but debit cards are accepted to the same extent as credit cards are.
So? My point is that most who relies on client-side code to render apps, does so in a way that integrates nicely with the browser. Most JS apps render html, they don't draw to a canvas. They could do that, but it would break a lot of functionality that people expect for a program that runs in a browser. This won't change with webasm. It will just make such pages load (and maybe perform) faster.
Why is it that nearly every “I can build a better Mac Pro than Apple for less” article just hand-waves away the Xeon part. What, never occurred to anyone that Xeons might cost more for a reason? “I don’t need a Xeon.” Then you don’t a professional version of an Apple desktop.
Does anyone know the actual value of the money put into bitcoin so far vs this market cap of recent sale price x count? I'm keen to know actually how many people could withdraw at similar sale prices to now before it evaporated.

I'm curious, what were your intentions? To show that Apple is overpriced? Or to encourage people to build their own hackintoshes? Furthermore, people who are considering buying the iMac Pro are not likely to be interested in building their own PC. Also, people who are buying a workstation usually want ECC ram, because bit errors in 3d rendering, or scientific computing can be a show-stopper.
You're replying as if you are Peter, but you are not. And to make matters worse, I'm pretty sure you are wrong. This is not the point of a B1 visa. A B1 visa is about temporarily doing business in the US such as negotiating contracts, not using the visa to set up a business.
If you're trying to handle text "in the wild" and not scanned documents, the keyword is "scene text". Most papers are focused on either detection/localization, i.e. finding the location of text, or recognition, i.e. recognizing the actual content given a cropped text image.

Well to be fair he states his preference for expandability. I personally prefer the sleekness, the lack of investment in building it, the warranty, the 5k screen, the ECC, the testing of everything done at the factory, the perfect match of OS and hardware as well as the time I saved by not having to figure out all those weird issues. Makes me actually think the new iMac Pro (at least the base model) is pretty reasonable.

Yes, but they're all searching for "awesome" tech people, not just anyone.
That doesn't change the analysis. The LCA/wage documentation must still be maintained at a central location and this documentation can be audited to ensure compliance even for remote workers.
Yeah I was surprised, Only 1.5K cheaper when the iHac is missing ECC, Xeon, 5K and Thunderbolt 3. Considering Apple likes to make 30-40% margins the Mac Pro seems not unreasonably priced at all
For starters, in general the privacy laws of EU and it's member countries have significantly different rules for information stored in the country, versus outside of the country.

Part of the reason you will mostly hear of companies outside France running afoul of the rules, is that companies that is incorporated outside French jurisdiction is generally out of reach of French authority, and they try get away with ignoring them.

In the case with Facebook described in the article, Facebook refuse to even provide samples of what data they send, stating that they consider themselves not bound by French law and EU rules, but only by US rules.

French companies are more unlikely to get into that situation in the first hand, as if they would break data protection laws and ignore legal requests for information, the police could (potentially) walk in one day, only to walk out with all your storage arrays.

Given the history of Europe, it's almost certainly not all about protectionism, and part of it might also be about a different kind of protectionism then economic.

As the US election seems to show, availability of mass amounts of personal information can be a threath to democratic process itself, and Europe has seen information turned into weapons of population control long before internet was a thing, and the democracy we have is at the cost of tremendous amounts of blood and death.

Sure, having the information only available within a country doesn't negate the risk for that country, but it helps reduce it for all other. Privacy laws help ensure democratic processed is not as easily hijacked by either foreign states, or multinationals.
Because then it would cost more than the iMac.
I agree it would be great if other browsers implemented this as well, but you lose me at:

> The best thing Mozilla could do is convince Apple and Microsoft to give up their independent lackluster browser implementations and ship Firefox as the default instead.

Multiple independent implementations are of vital importance to the web. We've seen it with IE6 before, and having two browsers is cutting it too close.
> The service available in France as UberX is what is known as UberBlack in the rest of the world - a black car and a professional driver

While they do follow taxi regs, I don't see how they aren't "UberX", UberBlack is just called UberBerline here: https://www.uber.com/en-IE/cities/paris/

> blocked a direct rail link between CDG and central Paris (my Uber on that route last week cost 99 EUR)

Well, true, there isn't a direct link, but there is a train link, also link to other cities. Last year an Uber from the city center to CDG had a fixed price (if I estimate the fare today it gives me 45Eur for X or 70Eur for UberBerline)

Not breaking backwards compatibility for existing users is the golden rule of software support. When an unfortunate pull-requester attempts to break backwards compatibility with Linus Torvalds' software, he has some very choice language to complain about the practice. If they were attempting to break backwards compatibility just because they dis-liked some particular app or service or use case, he might even use foul language.

Fortunately, I am a very well behaved and good little HN user, so I will not repeat that language here. But imagine what Linus would have said, really loudly, with all capital letters. There. That's better.
