I'm somewhat surprised twitter hasn't gone ahead and implemented something like this themselves. Kudos for building a solution!

Myztiq | 5 years ago | on: I guess I have to watch ads everywhere on my $1,500 LG TV now

Most of these ads are actually built into the firmware, I have a pihole set up and I still get ads from my tv, sometimes even on startup there will be a new thing appearing in the corner. Next up is preventing it from accessing the internet entirely, but then I'd need to have a second remote to actually watch my content.

https://serverless.com/ - uses yaml or JSON or js. This looks like an opportunity for the community to grow some more which is almost always a benefit. A new filetype isn't always the best, but it CAN be useful in some contexts, I haven't vetted if this is the right one.

Myztiq | 8 years ago | on: No boundaries: Exfiltration of personal data by session-replay scripts

Ok, here's a real example of how fullstory can help provide a better product. Bug reporting. A user gets a JS error on the page, but say my application is pretty complex, and the state machine I've built can't handle a particular state. Well, I can easily walk through the recording of what the user had done and reproduce the issue.

I can actually hop on a call with this user and walk them through how to do something, while looking at what page and what inputs they have filled in. This takes frustrating back and forth of "What do you see now?" that happens without this tool.

Say I want to influence user decisions by offering subtle cues to push them towards something that will be overall beneficial for them. By watching certain key users we can know what frustrates them (erratic mouse movements, long time searching for features etc) and what things they grok easily.

The article totally washes over a super important feature of fullstory, excluding elements[0]. When you include a simple class name or specifically selecting what you'd like to exclude.

You could also just pop it behind a CDN, it looks like it's all static content anyways.

Myztiq | 8 years ago | on: Serverless Event Gateway

I'm not entirely sure myself, a few guesses.

  * Cost based configurations
  * Putting high compute in one cloud and storage in another? 
  * Perhaps to handle entire cloud outages? 
  * There may be features that don't exist across all the providers that people may want to take a dip into.
  * Integration w/ existing frameworks, AKA code deployed to multiple clouds that need to be supported.

Where would the event gateway be deployed? It looks like it could be any provider and anywhere right? Essentially, giving me the ability to take my entirely serverless architecture and giving me servers to manage. Alternatively, it may be a Kubernetes type deployment. OR, what my guess is, the first step towards getting people to use the serverless platform, which will handle hosting this for us.

Myztiq | 9 years ago | on: Netlify CMS – An open-source CMS for Git workflows

Seems like a neat idea, I have not yet found a good example of the output that this generates on github.

I've used prismic.io and other such systems in the past, all wonderful. I'm glad to see this is evolving in other ways.

Myztiq | 9 years ago | on: Parse is shutting down today

I used to work at Kinvey, they've got a pretty good product geared towards integrating with whatever you've got to connect with. They have always been security conscious, even have HIPAA support now IIRC.

Happy to answer any questions, or get some current devs there into the conversation to help out.

Myztiq | 9 years ago | on: Plasma wings could change the way airplanes are designed and flown

I don't think that's the concept. It's a solid wing with no moving parts and lift is modified solely by the plasma emitters. The entire wing's surface is still a solid material, it's just the plasma is modifying how the air behaves around it causing change in lift.

Myztiq | 10 years ago | on: Zenefits' blog – Becoming the Compliance Company

This particular portion smells of a deliberate attempt to differentiate: "we are doing it 100% right now!" It says that their culture was never considered and its more of an attack on their old way of life. I'd venture to guess that much of that section is to create confidence in the "new" cultural values through differentiation.

I highly doubt there was a meeting where the old values where decided and driven forward in the company. This is all in an effort to be transparent again, just as they originally planned.

Myztiq | 10 years ago | on: Runnable Sandboxes: Full-stack environments for every GitHub branch

Runnable engineer here, let me see if I can clarify some things.

The core use-case is being able to manage and test feature branches. In particular, some of the tricky things with pull requests related to integration testing.

Each feature branch can have it's own isolated environment for testing, pointing to different branches for other parts of the stack. This makes it so you no longer need to manage your staging servers, deal with outdated components on the server or even have to wait to be able to test your code. It's always there, always up to date and unique per branch.

> How would this look like when multiple branches from different projects worm together?

Each repository has it's own configuration, and each branch gets it's own container. We allow you to connect branches together, not dissimilar to DNS[1].

To work on individual components locally we have a couple of tricks up our sleeves, but at the end of the day we have a CLI that will allow you to do file syncing and ssh'ing into your boxes from your own terminal[2].
