Stuff The Internet Says On Scalability For December 14th, 2018
Wake up! It's HighScalability time:
We've come a long way in 50 years. Or have we?
Alan Kay: I believe ARPA spent $ 175,000 of 1968 money for that one demo. That’s probably like a million bucks today.
Bill English: What we did was lease two video circuits from the phone company. They set up a microwave link: two transmitters on the top of the building at SRI, receiver/ transmitters up on Skyline Boulevard on a truck, and two receivers at the Civic Center. Cables of course going down into the room at both ends. That was our video link. Going back we had two dedicated 1,200-baud lines: high-speed lines at the time. Homemade modems.
Doug Engelbart: It was the very first time the world had ever seen a mouse, seen outline processing, seen hypertext, seen mixed text and graphics, seen real-time videoconferencing.
Alan Kay: We could actually see that ideas could be organized in a different way, that they could be filtered in a different way, that what we were looking at was not something that was trying to automate current modes of thought, but that there should be an amplification relationship between us and this new technology.
Bridging the Gender Gap in Serbia
We are delighted that our project, Digitally Unconnected Gender Gap (DUGG) has been chosen by the Internet Society as part of the Beyond the Net Funding Programme to work on digital gender issues in Serbia.
The gender digital gap is widely present in Serbia, but the lack of research data and statistics are making this problem invisible, both from the ones dealing with women’s rights, and the ones who are fighting for a just, accessible, and safe Internet for everyone. Our team will connect these two activists’ fields in order to put the light on the issue!
Through these project activities, the team from Serbia Chapter will be dedicated to explore how ICT technologies and Internet can play a role in decreasing the existing gender digital gap and how to take into consideration gender awareness in developing new and evolving technologies.
As women comprise half of the world’s population, the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) should address each of the goals through a gendered lens. The DUGG plans to focus on the Sustainable Development Goals 4 (Quality Education), 5 (Gender Equality), and 9 (Industry Innovation and Infrastructures). However, if applications and services are developed by women, they would be more relevant Continue reading

Managing DNS Records For The People With Cloudflare Apps
DNS records are hard. Many people, even the technically competent, don’t understand more than the basics.
I'll speak for myself — as someone who always learned just enough about DNS to get it working, then immediately forgot everything until the next time it broke. It was a vicious cycle until I convinced myself to learn it in depth. Meanwhile, non-technical folks wisely avoid meddling in such dangerous affairs all together.
Surely, there must be a better way (this is a blog post after all).
Every day, thousands of Cloudflare users add DNS records to their Internet properties to configure awesome tools like G Suite, Shopify, Wordpress, Ghost, and thousands of others. A new Cloudflare Apps feature allows apps to automatically set up and manage configurable DNS records on more than 12 million registered domains on the Cloudflare network. In short, Cloudflare Apps are here to alleviate the Internet’s collective DNS woes.
Gone are the days of tribulating over whether it’s A or CNAME you should set. Gone are the days of puzzling between A and AAAA records while wondering what the heck happened to AA and AAA records? Unload your DNS dysphoria onto highly trained developers experienced at explicating these Continue reading
Has Anyone Actually Sued Their Vendor ?
An oft-quoted reason for buying technology from a commercial vendor is legal recourse. If it fails, the company imagines that it could sue the supplier for negligence or reparations. Vendors offer zero guarantees that their products work. If you read the purchase contracts, the customer waives all rights when using the products including the right […]
