Running my Drone CI runner at home has some disadvantages though. The network speed in a data center is much faster than my 100/40 mbps connection at home. But I will (hopefully) have a new provider soon with gigabit download (and a bit faster - 50 mbps - upload)… ⌘ Read more
Bookmarked : Fix Facebook by Making It More Like Google+ - The Atlantic
My colleague Adrienne LaFrance has named the fundamental assumption, and danger, of social media megascale: “not just a very large user base, but a tremendous one, unprecedented in size.” Technology platforms such as Facebook assume that they deserve a user base measured in the billions of people—and then excuse their misdeeds by noting that effectively controlling such an unthinkably la … ⌘ Read more

I realized this morning why I’m put off by super hero movies. They are fun, and I’ve always loved comic books, but the super hero movies of the last decade specifically, (I mean, beside being military propaganda) totally omit the potential future of any sort of utopia.

The stories are predicated on the super heros always needing something to be super against, despite having fantastical abilities to help usher in some sort of uto … ⌘ Read more

** Data Types and Variables in C **
I’ve been writing a heap of Lua lately — this has lead to my becoming interested, again, in C. Here are some ancient notes I dug up on the most basics of data types and variables in C.
All of a computer’s memory is comprised of bits. A sequence of 8 bits forms a byte. A group of bytes (typically 4 or 8) form a word. Each word is associated with a memory address. The address increases by 1 with each byte of memory.
In C, a byte is an object that is as big as t … ⌘ Read more

It’s about the impact of technology on our lives, society and behaviour. For example, he talks about the fact that algorithms are increasingly trying to keep us in front of the screen for as long as possible, that echo chambers are creating more and more negativity, and that we may soon no longer be able to d … ⌘ Read more
