Uncle Bob and Silver Bullets • Hillel Wayne

A while back I wrote that Robert Martin was ruining software by being too good at programming. That was supposed to be a joke. Since then he’s done his damndest to actually ruin software by telling people they’re doing it wrong. His most recent response where he yells at software correctness was the breaking point for me, so I’m going to go ahead and say what many of us have been thinking:

We need to talk about Session Tickets

More specifically, TLS 1.2 Session Tickets. Session Tickets, specified in RFC 5077 [https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5077], are a technique to resume TLS sessions by storing key material encrypted on the clients. In TLS 1.2 they speed up the handshake from two to one round-trips. Unfortunately, a combination of deployment realities and three design flaws makes them the weakest link in modern TLS, potentially turning limited key compromise into passive decryption of large amounts of traffic.

I went out looking for figures and found the following on Dropbox: > "less than 1% of the Dropbox user base is taking advantage of the company’s two-factor authentication feature": htt

How to gradually upgrade toward PHPUnit 6 with namespaced classes

In the latest months I wrote multiple times, in different projects, code migrating PHPUnit toward major version 6. This upgrade is harder than the previous one, since in this version it was introduced a big breaking change: all classes got (finally!) namespaced. This means that any usage of those classes in your project needs to be updated. It may seem a simple find & replace job, but since you need to introduce at least one use PHPUnit\Framework\TestCase line at the top of each one of your test classes, it’s a boring and a little more than trivial task; also, upgrading it in a single big jump may not be feasible or prudent, especially in the case of open source or distributed libraries, where backward compatibility and support for old PHP versions must be ensured.

This in JavaScript | Zell Liew

Are you confused by the `this` keyword in JavaScript? It confuses everyone in the beginning, so don't worry about it. You're not alone. But that doesn't mean you can go on without understanding `this` forever. It is used so much in JavaScript and in tutorials everywhere that you need to grasp what `this` is sooner or later. Once you understand `this`, you'll realize that it's much simpler than you think it is. By the end of this article, you would have demystified `this` for yourself. You'll know what it is, what it does and how to use it.
