What does the double asterisk(**) mean in the path?

What does the double asterisk(**) mean in the path?

There's two meaning of wildcards in paths for file collections.

  • * is a simple, non-recursive wildcard representing zero or more characters which you can use for paths and file names.
  • ** is a recursive wildcard which can only be used with paths, not file names.

For examples,

  • /var/log/** will match all files in /var/log and all files in all child directories, recursively.
  • /var/log/**/*.log will match all files whose names end in .log in /var/log and all files in all child directories, recursively.
  • /home/*/.bashrc will match all .bashrc files in all user's home directories.

A simple way of testing that your Lumen commands are scheduled exactly when and how you expect. This approach does not trigger commands to actually execute, which is what a lot of other suggestions do.

3 Ways to get unique values from an array in Javascript

Here are 3 ways to retrieve unique values from arrays in Javascript

  1. The array.filter method which is a higher order function which means it takes a function as it's argument.
const someArray = ['😁', '💀', '💀', '💩', '💙', '😁', '💙'];

const getUniqueValues = (array) => (
  array.filter((currentValue, index, arr) => (
		arr.indexOf(currentValue) === index

Rename files in linux / bash using mv command without typing the full name two times
# Put this function to your .bashrc file.
# Usage: mv oldfilename
# If you call mv without the second parameter it will prompt you to edit the filename on command line.
# Original mv is called when it's called with more than one argument.
# It's useful when you want to change just a few letters in a long name.
#
# Also see:
# - imv from renameutils
# - Ctrl-W Ctrl-Y Ctrl-Y (cut last word, paste, paste)

Stop using JWTs

Stop using JWTs!

TLDR: JWTs should not be used for keeping your user logged in. They are not designed for this purpose, they are not secure, and there is a much better tool which is designed for it: regular cookie sessions.

If you've got a bit of time to watch a presentation on it, I highly recommend this talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYeekwv3vC4 (Note that other topics are largely skimmed over, such as CSRF protection. You should learn about other topics from other sources. Also note that "valid" usecases for JWTs at the end of the video can also be easily handled by other, better, and more secure tools. Specifically, PASETO.)

A related topic: Don't use localStorage (or sessionStorage) for authentication credentials, including JWT tokens: https://www.rdegges.com/2018/please-stop-using-local-storage/

The reason to avoid JWTs comes down to a couple different points:

  • The JWT specification is specifically designed only for very short-live tokens (~5 minute or less). Sessions

Laravel: Setting up password reset to work as expected

Here's how set your password reset experience so that the user doesn't have to enter their email address... without altering vendor/core - tested with Laravel 5.8 (should be fine with later versions, too):

1. Create own notification

Firstly create a new notification for your app:

php artisan make:notification ResetPassword

Then open the newly created file: app\Notifications\ResetPassword.php and make the following changes:
