> The "you're going to hit the database anyway" argument whilst probably accurate in most cases, doesn't invalidate that JWT allows for one or more fewer database hits on every request.

Using random session cookies does not prevent you from using caches.

> In this media rich age, the data size argument is a bit silly.

JWTs aren't cached, and cookies are sent on every request, so there's a much bigger multiplier on JWT size cost than there is on media size cost.
Honestly, the interview process is no guarantee of anything behind door number one. I've learned that the hard way.

If a company is putting their best foot forward, and they've contrived an act, but can't back it up? What then?

There's no accounting for willful deception, and sometimes you are straight lied to.
Get a business coach and extensively network - or just focus on product market fit and the connections will come. I guarantee you that will be far cheaper than the millions of dollars worth of equity you would be giving up.

I agree with the parent, raise VC money only if you absolutely need money.
Steam does this. I honestly didn't get a ton of use out of it, but I only really followed Jim Sterling, Total Biscuit and TB's 30 FPS Locked curation list. The latter was the only one I found particularly useful because it turns out I have pretty different tastes from both of them and just enjoyed their critique.
> ... the final step is presenting them an offer to join your team and convincing them to accept it.

I think more effort could be made to sell before the candidate decides to interview. The best candidates have to be sold on the opportunity before they invest their time into an interview process because they have so many opportunities available.

Widen the funnel at the mouth.

Anecdotally I have had many experiences where the hiring manager didn't take the time to listen to what I was looking for before launching into their 10 minute spiel give everyone, and then they ask me for phone screen availability. Why is this the right opportunity for me?

EDIT: after reading TFA, I see this is exactly what they're advocating for. cool!
Dynamically Adding a REST API to Quake for Testing
I agree getting up over the weather would be a good thing. And as long as we're dreaming, may as well dream big. Maybe we can do something like they did with jato bottles on the c-130 at takeoff.

Attach some batteries with wings to the aircraft that you release after you get up to altitude. These days you can put an autopilot on the batteries and fly them back to the airport for recharging. You'd save some weight once at altitude and could get a 'free' lift up to altitude. Sort of like how a sailplane can get a tow. Maybe you could take them up to 30-40k ft at a good speed and let them trade some height for speed along their path to the destination.

Clearly there is a cost for the added complexity, but it might be worth it given the cheap computation and improving autopilot software.
i felt like returning to half-duplex communications was enough of a non-starter to discount it as a possible suggestion.
Well, of course.

It's very impressive work, no doubt. And as long as no one asks me to debug anything running on top, I don't have any issues with it.

At least with straight reference counting I know what's going on under the hood, that's worth a lot. Sharing pointers across threads is tricky business, I can't really see what that has to do with anything. And it's quite likely that it will run faster, simply because it's much less complex.

IF you have spare monitor going at your office/home, its fun to watch the ISS up to second tracking locations [1].

Fun fact I learned lately about ISS: at 400km above Earth's surface, the gravity is about 80% of a normal Earth gravity. The ISS is constantly falling down but because of Earth rotation it is falling "at the edge" so to speak so it never actually fell on the ground. Hope that make sense, I'm sure you read better explanation on Wiki.

The short of it is that the ACLU consider affirmative action a form of just racism. This form of racism corrects for past transgressions, helps achieve diversity targets, and "keeps the doors open" for minorities, so they consider it not only morally justifiable, but commendable.

Their position paper on affirmative action is available here: https://www.aclu.org/other/affirmative-action-aclu-position-... and I think it illustrates not only their rationale, but the tone of their support for that philosophy.

Fair disclaimer that I am obviously opposed to this approach and have been cautiously skeptical of the ACLU for a while now.
I can't run short expiration times. Well, If I am running distributed system then blacklisting dosen't solve anything for me. I would need to sync blacklists or keep them in database which defeats the purpose of using JWT for sessions already, as I could do what I do now, just keep normal tokens in Redis and check them on every request.
Thanks for pointing that out. I’ll look into it.

What do you think otherwise? I’m a big fan of betterslack :)
Racsim is the systematic oppression of people. It's carried out in instutions, culture, and processes: individual people do not perform racsim. (Individuals can discriminate.)

Racism depends on country / region. In the US, racism exits against black and brown people. It is a system set up for the benefit of white people.

Your confusion comes from falsely equating racial discrimination and racism.
All of the existing stealth platforms (F-117, B-2, F-22) are out of production. There's no practical way to build more, and they can't really be upgraded to fly from carriers.

The F-18 has been upgraded to a limited extent, however the basic shape of the airframe means it will always have a large radar cross section and IR signature no matter what they do. The concern is that it's just no longer survivable against modern air defense systems. So at some point they have to start over with a new airframe.

AI technology might allow for totally autonomous tactical aircraft someday. But the technology doesn't actually exist yet, and probably won't for a long time.
But... that's not really something you _have_ to avoid. Check permissions, if they fail the test -> http401 (for an API) or some user-friendly redirect. Something similar to this is how things work without JWT currently, so it's only a problem if you make it one.

I'm all for the space force, but imho it should be called the "federation". And I cannot wait to see the pentagon expand into a hexagon.

In all seriousness, the various US armed forces all step over each other. The Navy has it's own air force, but the USAF also has its own navy (Google "Tyndall AFB"). The Coast guard has plenty of helicopters and the national guard has a bit of everything. They all operate different recruiters, different training schools, and maintain unique relations with foreign forces. It's a total mess compared to countries like Canada where all the forces train and fight together from day one at basic training.

Inability to do immediate revocations is a real drawback and a valid complaint.

If a trusted machine with a privileged token on it is compromised somehow, it will likely take the attacker some time to search for and discover the token. If you use centralized auth and you realize there was a breach before this happens (say from monitoring/anomaly alerts), you can revoke the token and prevent unauthorized access. If your token is JWT and it doesn't expire for another 45 minutes, you're in much worse shape.

This isn't the only factor to consider, but it's an important one.

Is Elizabeth Warren a traditional indigenous name?
Opportunity. Affirmative Action is a band aid on one of many gaping wounds in America caused by discrimatory policies.

White flight, block busting and redlining all contribute to the current state of affairs in which Affirmative Action seems like a decent solution. The real solution however will require full scale reform. Have you ever seen video of a school board meeting where desegregation bussing was on the agenda? Parents go bezerk. But these are probably the same parents that would veto any changes to education funding that diminish the reliance on property taxes or any other reform which may affect them.

We have a huge collective action problem in America. We have been taught that this is a land of fair opportunities and if you work hard you will get yours, but that has not been the case, so any action that tips the "free market" is looked down upon without acknowledgement that there are many policies that prevent equality of opportunities because they are subtle (in the form of tax breaks for instance) and are beneficial for the dominant groups.
This is pure speculation, but I think humans' seasonal temperature adjustments are often not considered enough.

Anecdotally, I could be wearing the same pants/shirt inside: when it's routinely 30-35C outside in the summer, I'm quite comfortable with an inside temperature of 22-25C. Then, in the winter when it's regularly 0-5C, an inside temperature of 19-22C is comfortable. It's interesting how personal temperature tolerance varies with the seasons.

To be honest I am surprised of the tolerance levels between quality of work and quality of the interviewing.

In some engineering fields, I'd expect that such inconsistency in hiring practices would result in hiring someone that causes a huge accident.

Dark version: software interviewing would not be this broken if most bugs or mistakes would directly result in a person's serious injury or death.
That goes back to the telegraph in the mid 19th century, if not earlier. There's a famous quote from Thoreau questioning whether the new quantity of information has any quality.

Those are good questions! Resolution is definitely less when it comes to music - I can hear obvious signal degradation when it comes to somebody talking through a bad phone reception for example, but the difference between a high-def mp3 and a low-def mp3 is near indistinguishable.

I don't -recall- hearing half tones but that may be because I avoided classical music out of personal taste and after a childhood of mandatory piano lessons... it's been a while since I've gone near an instrument. Amusingly picked up a strong fondness for 80's synthpop/EDM/industrial which feels like it could be partially explained by it being 'beat heavy' and less delicate/subtle with different instruments. Would be a fun study!

edit: Jumping back to explain that resolution/quality vastly varies from person to person, even if they're using the same generation of devices - to make a long story short, CI's hook up to electrodes within the ear, and the more electrodes that can be sync'd, the better the resolution. Mine was an odd case where I have a facial nerve right next to a cluster, and those had to be turned off otherwise it would cause my face to twitch excessively whenever a certain pitch of noise was played.

There's also single-implant users and bi-lateral implant users - most folks these days opt for bi-lateral as you do get a whole 'nother level of quality; I was one of the early bunch and have other medical complications that make another surgery very difficult, and decided that since the single's been fine for daily use, it's worth it just to stick with it.
4 reasons to do cost accounting for Kubernetes clusters
My view on it is that all ethnicities are necessarily equal (no race is smarter than any other) so large scale differences in admissions are the result of cultural and historical circumstances. By picking off most metrics you will get a "better" student body by those metrics but you are also responsible for perpetuating those biases. In addition to this philosophical reasons there is the practical reason that diversity can increase access to new ideas (and generally overall team performance) and can also make it much easier to recruit a wider set of people so it's not an absurd goal from a practical standpoint.
Is this true of individual schools, or only on average? I'm not particularly well versed on the subject but when I lived there my impression was that there was a mix of schools that were well-funded/performing and under-funded/performing but not a lot of crossover between those two categories?

That way you may not get in, but you know you won't get cut because you got assigned an arbitrary 'personality' score if you scored high enough; enables kids to save face with friends/family too.

Not a fully baked idea here, just a potential avenue.
Similar feelings, but slightly different list:

1) TLDR: We don't have a mission beyond population management. Long version: The population is too large to have any consensus about what humanity should be doing. We can never be on the same page at this point. We're constantly just struggling to manage growing populations. 2% of the population is capable of actually thinking through and carrying out any possible reason of existing beyond putting new technology in front of people. While new technology does in fact help humanity, our application of it is totally misplaced - it goes into military or just entertaining people.. Until a massive number of people are dedicated to extra-planetary research, we're wasting time on a doomed planet.

2) We have had a general movement from - people helping others to everyone is out for themselves. This changes the social contract from grand parents moving in with their children to everyone better get their 15 kinds of insurance in order early. If someone lost a house and the neighborhood pooled together to re-build them a house, and there was no need to "buy in" to that, then we would be both richer, and more comfortable with each other.

3) People have become mean. Streets are filled with angry drivers. People only seem to care about their friends for what they can be provided with. If shit hit the fan, most of those people would kill you to steal your food.

4) All of this leads to the house of cards. All these bullshit jobs are supported through various special conditions humanity has set up (insurance companies, banking industry, food industry, military industry) - which means that the bullshit jobs are paid for in the slight tweaks we keep making to our collective society to be more and more a dog-eat-dog world.

It's sad that most people probably don't understand any of this. The only fix would be for humanity to have a mission beyond our individual mission to keep supporting the current structure.

Even if we accept the assumption that you actually have to avoid it (I don't!),here are some:

- Database permissions, including row-level security

- Macaroons

- PASETO

- Fernet/secretbox/HMACing a JSON blob

These are different approaches so it's hard to summarize, but they all either give you a property JWT doesn't or avoid a flaw JWT has. You can't seriously believe that nobody did this before 2015.

Pollock's art definitely has a story, it's the story of the creation of his works and he even made videos about that.

And this, that story of creation, is the story that all generative art--as far as I've always understood the term--must share.

The art in generative art is for a large part the story of its creation, crystallised in the form of an algorithm.

Without that, you ultimately get computer-generated art or something. Which is often nice to look at, but has about the emotional impact of a fancy photoshop filter.

Compare to this artist, I forget her name (I think it's a she), wrote algorithms/instructions on paper, to be executed by a group of people (I think explicitly without her presence, IIRC). There's no computer involved and it's still generative art. It's entirely about the process.

Now of course most generative art is a mixture of the two, which is good because we like pretty things.

The problem with blacklisting is that then you end up doing the database hits and avoiding those was one of the reasons for adopting signed tokens.

I see the value of signed tokens in complex infrastructure where you want to have one heavily guarded system doing the authentication and token assignment and then a bunch of other systems just validating the tokens.
I agree hearing what sounds like a pre-prepared, generic spiel about the company isn't very effective. That's why I suggest hiring managers/recruiters ask the candidate what they're looking for first and then talk about how the company fits into that (or not).

Being able to tailor the pitch on the fly like that is what we've seen be the difference between average and great recruiters.
If you have a revocation list for JWT tokens, you could just as well just use session IDs, avoiding all issues with JWTs.

Didn't you just say that education cost now 1/2 of what it used to. Education is mostly human effort(can't be easily automated - although visualisation, CAD tools and internet helps), so it means there is less incentive now for people to educate younger generations because they can make better money doing something else if I understand correctly. What I'm trying to say is that without mesurable education metrics you can't judge if reduction of costs is good or bad.

IMO it's bad - I would prefer teaching but I can make 10x doing CRUD apps :/

"The best elementary schools in the nation are driven by property taxes, how many people do you know bought their house because of the school district?"

Sometimes I wonder how much of this is everyone mistaking causation vs. correlation. School districts with high property taxes tend to have a number of other features in common, like: stable 2-parent households; high incomes; ability to afford private tutors and enrichment opportunities; highly-educated parents; exposure to a wide social network of high-achieving peers; lack of environmental stressors; and probably genetic endowments for health & intelligence.

Does anyone know of studies that have tried to tease out how much effect the educational system actually has on student outcomes, once you've controlled for parental wealth/intelligence/education/etc?
