mychael··on Ubiquiti adds phone-home to the access point firmware
I have lost all trust in Ubiquiti at this point.
mychael··on Gitlab: don't discuss politics at work
I hope more tech companies follow their lead. Politics in the workplace is paralyzing to productivity and as a customer, I don't want platforms to be our morality police.
mychael··on Rudder, an open source Segment alternative
Segment IO is currently being blocked on browsers with adblock. Does this mean it will work even with adblock?
mychael··on Apple’s New Mac Pro to Be Made in Texas
In case you didn't realize, this is a new post published today. Theres actually news here otherwise Apple wouldn't have published a press release.
mychael··on Some WeWork Board Members Seek to Remove Adam Neumann as CEO
> "product"

They're a glorified landlord, not a product.

mychael··on Chef CEO Defends Contract with ICE
This is a very professional and tempered response supported by reason and sound company values. I applaud the CEO for not giving in to the mobs.
mychael··on Silicon Valley is terrified of California’s privacy law
Is this an opinion article or a legit journalism? The article clearly has a slant, but TechCrunch didn't classify it as Opinion.
mychael··on Show HN: A Senior Engineer's CheckList
Thats not true. You can click an item to highlight it. I've never used a checklist that used highlighting to indicate it's state.
mychael··on Show HN: A Senior Engineer's CheckList
It's not your fault. The post has zero context.
mychael··on Show HN: A Senior Engineer's CheckList
This is not a checklist. Items in a checklist are either checked or unchecked. This is more of a values matrix.
mychael··on MoviePass database exposes 161M records
No thanks. Thats a solution worse than the problem.
mychael··on Rendering on the Web
DX means Developer Experience.
mychael··on Rendering on the Web
You're arguing with an imaginary straw man. Is someone credible in the React community saying everything should be be done in React?
mychael··on Rendering on the Web
This is very disappointing to read. I encourage anyone to compare the architecture and DX of client side rendered apps based on Create React App to Next.js. Next.js is very immature and clunky in comparison.
mychael··on How to Build Good Software
This reads like conventional wisdom. No one is going to argue against "Hire the Best Engineers You Can" and "Start as Simple as Possible".
mychael··on Show HN: Historical order book reconstruction API for crypto markets
Looks like a fine service, but as a matter of policy I (and many of my peers) do not partner with crypto services that do not list basic company details on their website. For new services, I'm looking for specific names of founders, location, mission statement/values etc.
mychael··on How I Became a Machine Learning Practitioner
Congrats on your cool life, your ivy league education, your CTO role at OpenAI and all the access that provides. You've done it!

Also thanks for telling us how you became a practitioner. It's definitely relatable and not a humble brag at all.

mychael··on Lambda School fined $75k by CA for operating without state approval [pdf]
The "lack of consistency" between state regulations is a feature, not a bug. States are Laboratories of democracy.
mychael··on Lambda School fined $75k by CA for operating without state approval [pdf]
It sounds like you're unfamiliar with the Higher Education Bubble and it's root causes.
mychael··on Lambda School fined $75k by CA for operating without state approval [pdf]
I would be an even bigger fan of Lambda if you guys fought this or left CA all together.
mychael··on Square’s Growth Framework for Engineers and Engineering Managers
I definitely don't want some kind of career progression standard that is shared across companies.

Please work for the government if you crave this much structure.

mychael··on Square’s Growth Framework for Engineers and Engineering Managers
Looks like it's easier to resign from Square and accept a salary bump and title bump elsewhere than navigate Square's "Growth Framework".

If we wanted this much structure, we would have worked for the government or military.

mychael··on Understanding Docker Container Escapes
The author is presenting this as if they found a serious security flaw in Docker. They're starting a container in privileged mode, what exactly did they expect?

This is like acting surprised that a Linux root user can do immeasurable harm to the underlying OS.

mychael··on How I Could Have Hacked Any Instagram Account
Low bounties like that are going to motivate hackers to sell to malicious actors instead of going through the proper channels.

Facebook should know better.

mychael··on Ask HN: What is the best chair for developers?
Steelcase Leap V2.
mychael··on Ask HN: How to deal with constantly getting cut off in work discussions?
Practice being more assertive and embrace the change to be more strong willed.

Being soft spoken is not embedded in your personality permanently.

mychael··on Apple has pushed a silent Mac update to remove hidden Zoom web server
Dropbox
mychael··on Show HN: Make your own AI-generated Magic: The Gathering cards with GPT-2
The punctuation in your title is jarring. "Make your own AI-generated Magic cards with GPT-2" would be a lot better.
mychael··on Vulnerability in the Mac Zoom client allows malicious websites to enable camera
I've lost all trust in Zoom at this point
mychael··on Vulnerability in the Mac Zoom client allows malicious websites to enable camera
It's pretty convenient for Zoom that this occurs after the IPO.
