Facebook's Little Red Book

In 2012, Facebook was facing a challenge as it hit a billion users: rapid scaling was outpacing their ability to maintain focus on the big picture. Narratives became fragmented, and with them, the essence of what tied the company to Zuckerberg's vision began to fade.

New in Symfony 7.2: Stateless CSRF (Symfony Blog)

The stateless_token_ids option is one of the parts that make the stateless CSRF feature as safe as the traditional CSRF feature, because it explicitly lists the token IDs allowed when using the new feature. First, the source of the request is validated using the Origin/Referer HTTP headers.

Functors to Monads: A Story of Shapes · in Code

For many years now I’ve been using a mental model and intuition that has guided me well for understanding and teaching and using functors, applicatives, monads, and other related Haskell abstractions, as well as for approaching learning new ones. Sometimes when teaching Haskell I talk about this concept and assume everyone already has heard it, but I realize that it’s something universal yet easy to miss depending on how you’re learning it. So, here it is: how I understand the Functor and other related abstractions and free constructions in Haskell. The crux is this: instead of thinking about what fmap changes, ask: what does fmap keep constant? This isn’t a rigorous understanding and isn’t going to explain every aspect about every Functor, and will probably only be useful if you already know a little bit about Functors in Haskell. But it’s a nice intuition trick that has yet to majorly mislead me.

Programmer in Berlin: Culture

This is part 4 of a 5-part series detailing what I wish I had known as an American programmer moving to Berlin. This page details cultural differences and things I wasn’t aware of until I stumbled on them. Politics One thing about Germany, and Europe in general, is that it’s relatively left-wing when compared to the US. This is a place where universal healthcare is so commonly accepted that no party – not even the super-racist party! – is talking about removing it. The aforementioned super-racist party has effectively the same political platform as the mainstream Republican party in the US (minus the healthcare thing). Politics in Europe certainly has its own problems, but at least in Germany there is a flourishing multi-party system that allows for people to have some kind of choice when voting. There is even a fun website called the “Wahl-o-Mat” (“Vote-o-Matic”) that tells you which party to vote for after answering a series of questions. There’s also none of the Electoral College silliness, which I won’t get into here.
