@levelsio I love the windows 3.11 virtual PC that you've created. Being able to message others in the AOL chat room was interesting. I also found the VC email by accident while messing with the PC. I'll keep it a secret 😆

💸 To avoid getting spam or low effort messages I've created a 💾 16-bit VC.EXE executable and hidden a specific email in it that I use to receive messages to invest in AI startups Since it runs inside pieter.com it requires you to boot the computer and get in so it takes some effort which hopefully acts as a nice pre-filter I can add more difficult filters if this is not enough 🤠

@discord how about a configurable matchmaking system for game communities.

it's hack week here at our company, and we're testing out all kinds of experimental features for discord. any cool ideas you want us to try out?

An Interview question every developer should know. What's the difference between Tokens and API keys? We use API keys and tokens for authentication and authorization. But they serve different purposes and have distinct characteristics. Tokens (like JWT - JSON Web Tokens): Carries user context and permissions for authentication and authorization. Encoded with a user ID, permissions, and expiration time, often in JWT format. Critical for user-specific access, like accessing a user's profile data in an e-commerce platform. It is issued by an authentication server after user login and contains user-specific information. API Key: Primarily for identifying the application or the consumer making the API call. They are long strings we pass in the header or as a query parameter in the API request. You use API keys when access does not involve user context. For example, accessing a public API or service-to-service communication. They are long-lived and created through the API provider's platform or admin console. In simple terms: - Tokens are for managing user sessions, permissions, and context. - API keys are for identifying applications. Which one have you used the most?

Check out this new AI chat from @autonomous_labs! I tried it out, and look at this epic Laracon Conference photo with the Dallas skyline in the background.

And away we go! My fellow gridiron peeps might find those useful: @iamwix @choir241 @TasonJorres @MaiVangSWE @jennifer_tieu @Eduardo82545622 @clue355 @furrerw x.com/i/spaces/1YpJk…
