Technology in the DPRK is in the news cycle
again. I’m excited to talk a bit more in depth on what technology in Pyongyang looks like next week at CCC.
SPD Hackathon
Scott said he’s setting aside his innate skepticism about working with police. “If we want them to work for us, how can they do that if we don’t tell them what we want?” he said. -Seattle Times
I support the condemnation of online harassment by the Tor project.
Code for Seattle 2015
An exercise I’m in the process of completing is thinking about how we’d like to see the code for seattle organization grow and evolve in 2015. For reference, the document is beginning to taking shape and will live for posterity on the organization website. I’m really excited about the trajectory that the code for america… Continue reading Code for Seattle 2015
I started ip2country over the last few days, as a self contained npm module for determining the country of an IP address.
Ithaca
Spent the weekend in Ithaca visiting college friends. Somewhat colder than the city, but not miserably so. A very pleasant break from the routine, although work has certainly come crashing back this week. Come see me at TA3M this evening!
Stormking
Visited the Stormking Sculpture Garden north of New York City today with friends from College who have made their way out east. This part of the country can also be pretty, although in a different and much flatter way than Seattle. It has also already gotten colder than a normal winter, which is quite a… Continue reading Stormking
Webrtc-Adapter
WebRTC continues to develop towards an evolving standard, requiring some additional leg work to use it in projects. In yet another attempt at bridging that gap, I’ve been working on maintaining an adapter lessening some of the deviation from standard in current browsers.
https://www.npmjs.org/package/webrtc-adapter
It currently fixes
- Response of format of getStats in Chrome
- Translation to ‘url’ from the standard ‘urls’ when configuration is passed to Firefox
- Emission of the ‘negotiationneeded’ event when a data channel is created in Firefox
The main hope is that this will be easier to include in projects than previous attempts.
Columbia
I spent the last couple days in a workshop at Columbia University. First time I remember being there, and a nice place. I’ve heard lots of stories from my parents, and it was quite interesting to see those fitted onto a physical location. The network research community continues to be incredibly smart and exciting to… Continue reading Columbia
Soto
Had a very nice dinner last night at Soto last night. I’m not exactly sold on the foodie thing, but that doesn’t mean the experience wasn’t enjoyable. Now it’s back to work with a couple looming paper deadlines and a bunch of coding I want to get done for the internship.
