JWT is so bad that I find myself wondering what I was doing when it was being created and if I could have done something to stop it.

Also, note that this HN thread is full of developers just now learning that JWTs only does signing. Except it can also do encryption. 🤷‍♂️

Some folks on the left are very concerned about the behavior of folks at protests. I think there's a bigger, more important narrative thread to follow right now: our local police are doing everything they can not just to maintain resources, but to increase resources & power.

I have still not seen a well maintained JavaScript (as source language) codebase that has been in production (and features added) for more than 6 months.

Yes Zoom had a good quarter but more importantly...

The new version (5.2.2) enables professional music mode.

48khz, 96kbs per channel, all processing off.

Let the concerts begin.

There are 3 main factors that affect video performance on YouTube and SUBSCRIBERS isn't one of them.

CLICK THRU RATE is the barrier to entry on a video.

AVERAGE VIEW DURATION dictates enjoyment.

WATCH TIME thru CHANNEL tells YouTube you're helping the platform.

Can someone explain why when you know another language some words in your native language get replaced? In English I still use German works like Aufzug (elevator), Baumarkt (hardware store), Spargel (asparagus), etc. to the point of almost forgetting the English word. It's weird.

Aaron links to NASA's Send your name to Mars page where you can apply for a virtual boarding pass and get your name sent on the next mission to the red planet.

It reminded me that they did the same thing before the Orion mission in 2014.

But what if it isn't just a virtual boarding pass? What if it was for something more serious?

I wrote a short story at the time which I have re-posted here.

1. "Retweets with comments" is changing to "Quote Tweets"

2. Quote Tweets will appear right next to Retweets

I installed a kitchen faucet that can connect to Alexa (“Alexa, ask <brand> to dispense 1 cup hot water”). The problem is that when the faucet is running, Alexa can’t hear me to tell it to turn off. Well that’s one problem, actual utility is another. Also, no timer.
