My personal macOS "machine" is a VM running on a supermicro threadripper pro board (along with a Linux desktop VM + random LXC/VMs). The macOS VM is significantly faster than my M1 Pro work system. I should run some benchmarks.

This. Every couple months I disconnect the internet and walk around the house verifying all my "smart" home automation products still work. Sometimes I'll make a second pass with homeassistant (or a service dependency, e.g. zigbee2mqtt) shutdown to make sure I can still physically use things (like a dimmer switch).

I use it to run internal services I don't want going down when I'm messing around in the homelab. Namely: internal DNS, MQTT broker and various prometheus pollers (e.g. unifi-poller). I'm a big fan of this project.

Xcode as an IDE...and at a certain scale a build system like bazel or buck.

Action Network | Full Stack Developer, Front-End Developer | San Francisco, Madison, Boston | Full Time | Onsite

We love sports and ship products that we personally use every day. We've recently combined the leading web products for sports betting data (SportsInsight) and daily fantasy research (FantasyLabs) with the number one app for sports bettors (Sports Action) and hired ESPN's head of editorial to run media. The sports betting and fantasy sports space is massive ($170bn in the US), growing and completely underserved from a product and content perspective, and we have the talent, domain expertise and passion to win the space.

For Full Stacks: We are looking for engineers that love sports and are up for the challenge of building and scaling real-time sports applications using many different technologies (Node, Go, Postgres, Redis, and more). We are a young company so we hope you are excited by the prospect of getting your hands dirty with all parts of the stack!

For FEs: We are looking for engineers that love sports and are up for the challenge of building data heavy interactive UI's. We love using React.js and all our web code is powered via Node.js.

FE's that have a focus on building accessible UIs and have experience building keyboard navigable interfaces are preferable for the role.

bdittmer | 8 years ago | on: Employees at Practice Fusion got nothing as execs pocketed millions

See my previous comment. This is exactly what happens.

The sale doesn’t get voted to hell because the voting shares (i.e. preferred stock) have liquidation preference and get paid back first, in some instances multiple their initial investment, before the rest of the pie is sliced.

Recently happened to me. Founders raid the series c for liquidity. Take out a predatory note to keep the company afloat. Sell the company in a fire sale and reap transaction bonuses, RSU grants, etc. Common stock wiped out and those that built the company left with nothing. Lesson learned? It rarely pays to be an early employee at a startup.

bdittmer | 9 years ago | on: Reading Uber’s Internal Emails: Bug Bounty report worth $10K

This is a lot like a bug I found in Heroku's system a few years ago. Basically, if someone doesn't claim the wildcard subdomain for their primary domain and has a wildcard SSL cert anyone could (can?) claim subdomains. A quick google search yielded hundreds of exploitable domains. At the time it seemed like a pretty big vector for phishing.

I have no idea if they fixed this and they gave me a t-shirt.
