Splitting up your web app
Splitting up your web appAlex Payne The document discusses different approaches for organizing and structuring code for a web application and breaking a web application into multiple programs that communicate with each other. It begins with basic approaches like putting all code in one file or splitting into classes and files based on functionality. It then discusses more advanced approaches like using a database, cache, message queues, or remote procedure calls as the coordination point between components and how to structure applications using those approaches. It concludes by noting some additional challenges in web development like monitoring, deployment, and data management that weren't covered.

Why Scala?Alex Payne This speaker is a serial language enthusiast who has programmed in many languages for both work and personal projects. For their work at Twitter, they were looking to move away from primarily using Ruby due to performance and cultural issues it presented for building large systems. They settled on adopting Scala at Twitter as it met their personal criteria of being fast, functional, expressive, statically typed, concurrent, and beautiful to work with.
Designing Your API
Designing Your APIAlex Payne The document discusses designing APIs and lessons learned from Twitter and Stamen. It notes that most providers have adopted REST over SOAP and XML-RPC and provides an example Twitter API endpoint that returns user data in JSON format. The Twitter API itself comprises most of Twitter's web traffic, has over 1,600 developers and 400 credited applications using a variety of data formats like XML, JSON, RSS and Atom. The API was allowed to grow organically based on community feedback rather than being heavily promoted.

Is AI just another technology, or does it fundamentally change the way we live and think?
Every technology has a direct impact with micro-ethical consequences, some good, some bad. However more profound are the ways in which some technologies reshape the very fabric of society with macro-ethical impacts. The invention of the stirrup revolutionised mounted combat, but as a side effect gave rise to the feudal system, which still shapes politics today. The internal combustion engine offers personal freedom and creates pollution, but has also transformed the nature of urban planning and international trade. When we look at AI the micro-ethical issues, such as bias, are most obvious, but the macro-ethical challenges may be greater.
At a micro-ethical level AI has the potential to deepen social, ethnic and gender bias, issues I have warned about since the early 1990s! It is also being used increasingly on the battlefield. However, it also offers amazing opportunities in health and educations, as the recent Nobel prizes for the developers of AlphaFold illustrate. More radically, the need to encode ethics acts as a mirror to surface essential ethical problems and conflicts.
At the macro-ethical level, by the early 2000s digital technology had already begun to undermine sovereignty (e.g. gambling), market economics (through network effects and emergent monopolies), and the very meaning of money. Modern AI is the child of big data, big computation and ultimately big business, intensifying the inherent tendency of digital technology to concentrate power. AI is already unravelling the fundamentals of the social, political and economic world around us, but this is a world that needs radical reimagining to overcome the global environmental and human challenges that confront us. Our challenge is whether to let the threads fall as they may, or to use them to weave a better future.
