"An update on bradfitz"

After ~12.5 years at Google and ~10 years working on Go, it's time for me to do something new. Tomorrow is my last day at Google. 👋

I'll still be involved with #golang but less, and differently.

My article about personal websites is on the front page of @newsycombinator atm and I was brave enough to read the comments. 🙈

Guess what: People are adding links to their sites and #RSS feeds below! 🎉💪🤗 #takebackyourweb

This is a wonderful explanation of OAuth. Go and watch @aaronpk tell you a couple of scary stories how websites handled sign-in just a few years ago, and how OAuth changed all of that for the better.

I am creating a new epic coding music playlist on Spotify and I need your suggestions! Songs that really drive you when coding, or inspire when working out. What is a favorite of yours I absolutely HAVE to add?

I think the math is harder to justify for this trip. I usually plan a full travel day for a flight from Montreal to SF, but this is a 3-day trip by train. I really wanted to take this trip, though.

Yeah trains are super fun! I'd love to do a long one like that some time. Maybe next time I go to Montreal!

I think air travel replacement makes a lot more sense for a regional trip like that, too. For a 90-minute flight from PDX to YYV, you have to add 4 or more hours door-to-door for getting to and from the airport, security, check-in, etc.

eh I fly so much I show up at the airport a few minutes before boarding and it's fine with precheck and such. But it's true in the end it still takes about 4-6 hours total for the 1-hour flight.

no, i will always punctuate properly. spelling has to be accurate too. it’s only capitalization that is gone.

but wait there are plenty of valid cases for dropping punctuation for stylistic purposes too

I'm taking the trip from Montreal to San Francisco by train this weekend. It's been amazing; beautiful scenery, nice people, and I've had several stops for meals along the way. Best of all, I saved more than a tonne of CO2. #TrainsNotPlanes

Okay this may have convinced me to take the much shorter 8 hour train from Portland to Vancouver for the next IETF meeting

In an attempt to sway the algorithm, I just configured my Twitter to mute everyone I'm following and only unmute 15 random followers each day.

Do any of you do unusual things to give yourself more control over algorithmic feeds?

Thanks everyone for showing up to the stream. Sorry about all the chat issues with twitter/periscope.

We'll cancel any future streams here on twitter and next week we'll do the show from TEDD Live.

DUde, seriously, I can't get chat to work. I can't do live streams on YT if I can't chat.

Yeah there's no chat on the website as far as I can tell. I only see it in the twitter app. but also it disappears real quick so it's pretty frustrating compared to youtube streams!

Open Wifi Security (Friday evening rant)

1) Yes, at our @nordic_choice hotels we have open wifi as standard. No Client<->AP encryption (WPA/23), and no captive portal to logon to.

Let me first explain some obvious reasons for doing so. (Often disregarded by infosec pros.)

It started with writing a blog post about OAuth authentication flow. But hiding the client secret was something I wanted to solve first. But you know what? I just found a way to work without a secret. And 100% secure! New blog posts and code will be online soon (=next week)

Not totally sure the context of this, but have you at least read the OAuth docs around this exact problem?

https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6819#section-5.3.1

That's the reason OAuth uses a different flow for native apps and SPAs. I'll be curious to see your blog post!

This is a really good explanation on what OAuth is. Also reminds me how bad things used to be with sites asking for your passwords for other sites!

Matt's tweet thread started with a "year of Linux on the desktop" quip, but if you do 95% of your work in a web browser, it's not really the year of LINUX on the desktop, it's the year of WEB on the deskop.

Which is not for me, but I'm glad it works for him!

It's fairly slow, but still cute

so I looked up that product, and somehow found a bunch of "related" products and now I am deep in the hole of researching laser engravers which are apparently not that expensive and are also very small now.
