Hot take: the lack of targetting effectiveness in Cambridge Analytica & Google Ads doesn’t excuse it. There are 4 sins here: taking the data, trying to target with it, targetting poorly, and overselling targetting accuracy. They compound.
Hot take: the whole ‘you need to code in your free time’ is partially justified by the way a 4 year CS degree doesn’t remotely prepare you for an entry-level code-crunching position.

Quake for Oculus Rift
My Oculus Rift CV1 finally arrived last week, so of course I had to update my fork of the excellent Quakespasm engine for the new Oculus 1.4 API.
While I was at it, I also fixed a number of bugs, included support for the Rift’s headphones and the XBox One controller – I’d still recommend you play with mouse & keyboard, though. Controls are set up with reasonable defaults, but you can of course change everything in the options menu. There’s also … ⌘ Read more

iCloud Drive on standby
When Apple announced the iCloud Drive integration in Yosemite, I got really excited. As I was already part of the “Apple ecosystem” (iPhone, iPad, iMac), the iCloud Drive availability in all, specially on the desktop, seemed like the culmination of all my dreams: a Cloud to rule them all. I ordered the 200 GB for $4 a month right away.
As it turns out with products in infancy, the iCloud Drive is no yet mature. My single complain, but a very important one, is the lack of selec … ⌘ Read more

Yesterday I did the unthinkable. Something I have never done — nor will I do again — before. I went very early (03:15) to stand at the Millenia all, to be one of the first (or so I thought) to buy the iPhone 4.
