you should have a look at JSON Web Token http://jwt.io/


Interesting, but massive overkill when you're transferring assertions between two parties where only one party (the server) is allowed to create the assertions.

In the examples in the article, the JWT header is just plain cruft because you're unlikely to be switching encoding often (and if you decide to, including a single much shorter token as a "stand-in" for the bloated JSON data would be much better; using JSON).

The payload also represents a lot of extra overhead unless you intend to transfer more than just a single level dictionary.

It's kind of comical that they present it as "compact" given that probably something like 30% of the length of the presented example is unnecessary.


Ecobnb - REMOTE - Trento, Italy - Frontend Engineer

We’re a small growing 5-persons startup based in Trento, Northern-Italy. Our online travel agency’s specialized in offering a selection of eco-hotels all around Italy and is currently expanding to Europe. Ecobnb makes it easy for responsible traveller to search for a place to stay for a short or long period, vacation or work and for eco-accommodation business owners to market themselves in the growing green sector.

Coming up on our roadmap is a big refresh of the current UI. When we say you’ll have significant impact on the product right off the bat, we mean it.

On the front-end we are using bootstrap, less and jquery. On the back-end we have a monolithic symfony application moving toward service-oriented, with the web UI more and more talking directly with APIs we are open to new tech and libs on the front-end.

Our current engineering team is composed by two full-stack-but-mostly-back-end devs, you’ll be an integral part of the team to strengthen the front-end side and complete the skillset.

We are a remote friendly team, using the best collaboration tools and communicating asynchronously with occasional video calls.

I think I just understood where I am going to spend my next weekend :) Hello, Alto Adige!


if user #1 is still an admin but with a different name you can just go to wpurl/?author=1 and if url rewriting is enabled you'll be redirected to wpurl/author/nicename and nicename is usually equal to the username


I don't think this adds the layer of security you think it does, merely a minor bit of obscurity. In context of the specific vector you reference, author={$user_id}, it probably doesn't do anything at all to protect you.

Not that there is anything wrong with adding a bit of obscurity, not using 'admin' as a username and using a non-privileged author for posts can go a long way.

However, if you are worried about someone getting your username from "author={$user_id}," using a user_id of 2,3,4,5, ect, probably isn't going to protect you. I think you are incorrectly assuming that the person that would use this method to get a username is going to stop if they get a 404 at #1(or even after just a single attempt.)


Thanks for the reply.


I found that a great keyword is 'dropbocks': I got 0.01€ cpc and a very good conversion rate. I maxed out several friend accounts spending 3€ each or less if I remember well. The keyword is great because it filters out who already use dropbox, if someone misspell it probably it doesn't have an account, otherwise with other keywords you'll probably get lot of people that already have an account clicking on your ads just to get to the dropbox login.


isn't 5+⅔ = 5 ⅔ really easy to get wrong?


Consider that in every other context listed, {glyph1} {glyph2} (where both glyphs are numerals) indicates "{value of glyph1} * {base} + {value of glyph2}".

For anyone with a passing familiarity with our number system, yes it's straightforward. But this wasn't produced for those people - it was produced for people with absolutely no prior experience with human culture whatsoever.


Students can go to https://www.dropbox.com/edu and get double referrals (500mb) and double referral limit(16GB), is also retroactive!
