OAuth is nice and taking over the world... but don't weaken the security, follow all the steps and verify the tokens you get handed.
OK, I admit this looks like a very cool product. This could turn interesting for private infrastructures. Trying to get the benefits of cloud approaches while keeping it under control.
Time and synchronization are complicated in distributed systems. Luckily there are solutions to try to ease the pain. It's not completely avoidable though.
Looks like an old website, still it does a neat job of explaining how the field of knowledge representation evolved. This is nice to see a reference for beginners since I dabbled quite a bit into this years ago and it wasn't very accessible.
It's nice that we get more content usable on mobiles... but this shouldn't come at the expense of bad usability when on desktops.
Wanna get started playing with shaders? This is a neat into leading to a blob made of metaballs.
I never liked the "it's neutral, it's just a tool". A very naive view in my opinion. New illustration of this with Twitter. Tools are inserted in a socio-technical system, and the sociology side will influence the design enough to make the tool not so neutral. Here clearly all hell broke loose and it became a massive danger to democracy due to the level of misinformation and the type of messages which are advantaged by the changes.
