Rather than list off the known ways to implement JWT insecurely and muse about mitigation strategies, I will instead offer my strategy for building a JWT library from better security principles.</p> </blockquote> https://zine.dev/2023-09-05-making-sense-of-probability 2023-09-05T22:57:57+02:00 2023-09-05T22:57:57+02:00 <blockquote> <p>The examples on these page[s] are everyday, popular examples of probability problems that people normally get wrong or do not understand.</p> </blockquote> https://zine.dev/2023-08-30-baby-s-first-wasm-compiler 2023-08-30T12:55:28+02:00 2023-08-30T12:55:28+02:00 <p>How to make a compiler from a toy language into WebAssembly.</p>
