One of those programs is Oculus software. There are a few reasons why I want to be cautious about Oculus software.
This integration marks a major milestone for IPFS, and lays the groundwork for further experiments into improving the experience of interacting with the network via web browsers.
Several years ago, when I was a junior engineer just out of university, a PM wandered by my desk on his way to a meeting one morning. “Uh, hey, we’re having a meeting about Project Jabberwocky, uh, right now, can you come?” He was already past my desk and did a last-second pivot to extend the invitation.

Everyone who knows me IRL (and, I suppose, who follows me online for long enough), knows that I have a… special relationship with LaTeX. I think it has something to do with its obscurity, when it wasn’t specifically made to be obtuse, and then being so good at what it does — which is typeset documents. It doesn’t help…
Celebrating 15 years of Street View with new product and feature updates.
Can positivity be toxic? We’ll investigate the concept of toxic positivity. From this, we'll learn how we can communicate authentically.
As far as FreeBSD is concerned, Graviton 3 is mostly just a faster version of the Graviton 2: Most things "just work", and the things which don't work on Graviton 2 — hotplug devices and cleanly shutting down an instance via the EC2 API — also don't work on Graviton 3. (Want to help get these fixed? Sponsor my work on…
We have analyzed telecommunication surveillance orders. Data shows that the EU's CSAM scanning is completely disproportionate and must be stopped.

I’ve been working on some long-needed updates to Videogrep , my command-line tool that automatically generates supercuts. These updates were motivated in part by a 10 week class I recently developed and taught at the School for Poetic Computation called Scrapism (web-scraping-as-art). The class includes a section on…

I don't really have much experience with microcontrollers. I've played around with some arduinos before and the main entry point for my home network is a Raspberry Pi, but that's about it for recent experience. I did take a single course on microcontrollers a few years back though. I am fascinated by them - they're…
