<p>I've been, for some time, postponing creating an

|
|
<a href="https://www.ansible.com/">Ansible</a> playbook to set up my DigitalOcean droplet
|
||
|
|
-- for no real reason besides I'm lazy -- and now there is this pure-Python
|
||
|
|
way to set up an environment, and now I'll probably not start two set ups --
|
||
|
|
again, because I'm lazy.</p>

|

|
<p>There is something deeply satisfying in reading a tutorial that takes from the
|
||
|
|
very start and explain every little step needed.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>I just miss the "If you do this, it won't work/will crash" parts.</p>

<h2 id="alan-kay-did-not-invent-objects"><a href="https://www.hillelwayne.com/post/alan-kay/">Alan Kay Did Not Invent Objects</a></h2>
|
||
|
|
<p>Ah, I just love this kind of discussion, that goes over and over and over -- I
|
||
|
|
basically had to hear that every time I went to the local Elixir Meetup.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The gist is: When Alan Kay was talking about "object-oriented design", he was
|
||
|
|
talking about the communication between objects, not about encapsulation,
|
||
|
|
inheritance and so on.</p>

<h2 id="problems-with-paywalls"><a href="https://slatestarcodex.com/2020/06/04/problems-with-paywalls/">Problems With Paywalls</a></h2>
|
||
|
|
<p>Some of the words in the post are quite strong -- "I would be happier in a
|
||
|
|
world where major newspapers ceased to exist, compared to the world where they
|
||
|
|
exist but their articles are paywalled" -- but the actual point being made is
|
||
|
|
quite true: Paywalled content usually take a route of "let me twist your
|
||
|
|
imagination/curiosity so you pay to actually see the content". And maybe the
|
||
|
|
content was produced <em>only</em> for taking your curiosity and produce absolutely
|
||
|
|
nothing of actual research or content.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>At the same point, if content was actually good, based on research, and had
|
||
|
|
actual content that would live on (and not something that was interesting for
|
||
|
|
this week only and would be completely forgotten in the next), then paywalling
|
||
|
|
content would be worth paying.</p>

|
||
|
|
<p>That was not the first time Brave was caught doing something morally
|
||
|
|
questionable with users content. At some point, one would wonder if they
|
||
|
|
share a referral link to some service to a friend -- say, taking advantage of
|
||
|
|
some rewards on DigitalOcean, for example -- and instead of giving some reward
|
||
|
|
to them, it give it to the Brave company so they can run their servers.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>In a way, it just shows how hard it is to produce a browser these days, even
|
||
|
|
if you take some previously existing codebase and improve it. But doing
|
||
|
|
morally questionable actions also seem the way of most companies take about
|
||
|
|
the internet these days...</p>

|
||
|
|
<p>I've been thinking about a way to improve my note-taking workflow, so the
|
||
|
|
knowledge is not completely lost. And a lot about this "Zettelkasten" way of
|
||
|
|
taking notes is appearing on my timeline from time to time.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>So it is nice that a simple introduction exists, although I still have to
|
||
|
|
start doing it so.</p>

<h2 id="the-mad-magazine-fold-in-effect-in-css"><a href="https://thomaspark.co/2020/06/the-mad-magazine-fold-in-effect-in-css/">The Mad Magazine Fold-In Effect in CSS</a></h2>
|
||
|
|
<p>Ah, the last page of MAD. I do remember trying over and over to make the
|
||
|
|
folding correct, so the proper picture would appear. It's kind obvious that,
|
||
|
|
once we automated stuff, there should be a way to do this.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>On the other hand, I have the same opinion about the same very complex CSS
|
||
|
|
example: Ok, now center the text in this box.</p>

<h2 id="algorithm-is-the-problem-not-mark-zuckerberg"><a href="https://interconnected.blog/algorithm-is-the-problem-not-mark-zuckerberg/">Algorithm is the Problem, Not Mark Zuckerberg</a></h2>
|
||
|
|
<p>Ok, let's discuss this for a bit: The one showing people that COVID is a
|
||
|
|
Chinese government weapon gone rogue, racism is not a problem and white people
|
||
|
|
also suffer racism, and decapitating statues is wrong is not Zuckerberg doing,
|
||
|
|
but "the algorithm".</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Here is the problem, though: Although Zuckerberg was not the one who created
|
||
|
|
"the algorithm", people who work for him did. Also, "the algorithm" didn't
|
||
|
|
simply appear and decided what do you like, someone put it there. This is what
|
||
|
|
most people get wrong about artificial intelligence and "algorithms": They
|
||
|
|
don't simply appear, someone put things there and they act towards what that
|
||
|
|
person put there.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Take, for example, the fact that Google was tagging black people as "gorillas"
|
||
|
|
in their Photos. It was <em>not</em> a "problem with the algorithm"; someone working
|
||
|
|
at Google decided black people weren't import enough to add them in the
|
||
|
|
training set -- worse, that person (or group of people) didn't even though
|
||
|
|
that adding black people in the training set was something worth or even
|
||
|
|
missing.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>This is not the algorithm, is people. People are behind every single "magic"
|
||
|
|
algorithm out there.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>And although Zuckerberg was probably not related to the construction of the
|
||
|
|
algorithm, the people were the problem. Not the algorithm.</p>
