|
<p>I know we are all tired of those manifestos and such, to the point that we are |
|
signing those without even reading the whole thing. But this isn't this kind |
|
of article: It discusses a lot of what the "value" we, developers, produce.</p> |
|
<p>(Ok, it is <em>not</em> a manifesto, but you have to agree that the title sound like |
|
one.)</p> |

|
<p>I mentioned the perils of picking a license a few days ago, and today we have |
|
an article about the perils of... licenses to use. </p> |
|
<p>Basically, one very prominent app have a clause that says they can use |
|
everything that goes into their services, including "any ideas, inventions, |
|
concepts, techniques or know-how disclosed wherein". Sounds awesome, doesn't |
|
it? You're there, discussing some wild ideas with your friend, you guys come |
|
with the next big app idea and suddenly... this company releases it before you |
|
two. You think "I'll sue them", and they will just point to the terms and |
|
services and show that you <em>allowed</em> them to do this.</p> |
|
<p>Ok, hyperboles, I know. But the fact that terms and conditions are so large |
|
and so hard to read shows that we have a problem<sup class="footnote-reference"><a href="#1">1</a></sup>.</p> |

|
<p>While Apple abuses its walled garden to get some things outside some |
|
ecosystem, Google does what Google does: Capture your data even when you say |
|
you don't want data to be captured.</p> |
|
<p>This should come with no surprise to anyone watching Google in the last years.</p> |

<h1 id="google-cloud-s-ai-recog-code-biased-against-black-people-and-more-from-ml-land"><a href="https://www.theregister.co.uk/2020/04/13/ai_roundup/">Google Cloud's AI recog code 'biased' against black people – and more from ML land</a></h1> |
|
<p>There are a bunch of topics there, but the one that caught my eye was exactly |
|
the "Google AI biased against black people". It's not the first time I read |
|
something like that: When Google Photos got auto-labeling, it tagged black |
|
people as "gorillas".</p> |
|
<p>It seems Google still doesn't understand how those things work: If you hire a |
|
bunch of white people -- and only white people -- what do you think will |
|
happen with your learning profiles?</p> |
|
<p>Also, remember these two stories next time Google do a promotion for MLK day.</p> |

<p>One thing I took from this: Pandoc can convert Markdown files directly into |
|
PDF.</p> |

<h1 id="yaml-probably-not-so-great-after-all"><a href="https://www.arp242.net/yaml-config.html">YAML: probably not so great after all</a></h1> |
|
<p>I mentioned this before: Sometimes, the problem with the configuration format |
|
is not the format itself, but the way the configuration <em>options</em> were |
|
created.</p> |
|
<p>And I know that, when talking about configuration files, YAML is the favourite |
|
format to get some bashing.</p> |
|
<p>But you can agree that some options here make sense, but aren't being |
|
processed in the right way.</p> |
|
<p>... although I have to wonder if some issues would be solved by processing the |
|
YAML in a language that has strong types, so the incoming "013" would be |
|
processed as a string instead of an octal. Maybe we need a YAML-schema format |
|
to feed into the YAML processing libraries so they know the type? And if |
|
that's the case, can't we come up with a format that already has a type |
|
definition in it?</p> |

|
<p>Completely unrelated to technology -- which is what I usually post -- but this |
|
article about the meaning and workings of an oath and a vow is really |
|
interesting.</p> |

|
<p>You know, there is something <em>really stupid</em> when someone is criticizing their |
|
own company and that company fires that person. What would you expect? People |
|
claiming "Yeah, you can't bad mouth your company!"?</p> |
