Alpha version of my FPS with procedural generation and permadeath is now availible
▻http://www.reddit.com/r/roguelikes/comments/1kghl0/alpha_version_of_my_fps_with_procedural
I’ve been working on this game for quite some time, and finaly I’m releasing an alpha version. There is still some work to do, on content, balance and polish, but I hope it is interesting enough to already enjoy. And I hope to get some good feedback, so you can help me make this game great. There is only 7 weapons in the game, you can carry only 4, but they all have upgrades and mods, like shotgun can shoot lightning, or raygun that does more damage if you have odd number of coins (...)

Data Science of the Facebook World
April 24, 2013
More than a million people have now used our Wolfram|Alpha Personal Analytics for Facebook. And as part of our latest update, in addition to collecting some anonymized statistics, we launched a Data Donor program that allows people to contribute detailed data to us for research purposes.
A few weeks ago we decided to start analyzing all this data. And I have to say that if nothing else it’s been a terrific example of the power of Mathematica and the Wolfram Language for doing data science. (It’ll also be good fodder for the Data Science course I’m starting to create.)
We’d always planned to use the data we collect to enhance our Personal Analytics system. But I couldn’t resist also trying to do some basic science with it.

Wolfram|Alpha Blog : Introducing Expanded Personal Analytics for Facebook
▻http://blog.wolframalpha.com/2013/01/23/introducing-expanded-personal-analytics-for-facebook
Today we’re excited to announce the first upgrade to Wolfram|Alpha’s Personal Analytics for Facebook. There’s much more to analyze, see, and do—here’s a quick look!
One of the most shared pods from our first release was our colorful social network visualization. We’re extending this idea to help you better understand how your social network fits together. To start with, we’re showing you a new visualization that highlights friends based on the way that they fit into your network.
Par Wolfram Research (l’auteur/diffuseur de Mathematica) sur sa plateforme Wolfram|Alpha, l’analyse des données FB avec le réseau de « friends », la distribution par âge et par statut amoureux ; le profil d’activité du compte, quels types de données sont postées, quel jour et à quelle heure ? éléments les plus vus et les plus « likés ».
straup/Clustr
►https://github.com/straup/Clustr#readme
Clustr takes a text file containing longitude/latitude points, tagged with a bit of text, and attempts to generate minimal polygons that “cover” those points, using an “alpha” parameter to determine the notion of “coverage”. The polygons are written to an ESRI Shapefile, suitable for use in GIS software.
T’as un exemple visuel quelque part ? Je pense avoir compris le principe mais pas trop. :)

#DMS : #Data management systems
►http://blog.okfn.org/2012/03/09/from-cms-to-dms-c-is-for-content-d-is-for-data
What must a DMS do?
A mature DMS will let people do all the following things:
Load and update data from any source (ETL)
Store datasets and index them for querying
View, analyse and update data in a tabular interface (spreadsheet)
Visualise data, for example with charts or maps
Analyse data, for example with statistics and machine learning
Organise many people to enter or correct data (crowd-sourcing)
Measure and ensure the quality of data, and its provenance
Permissions; data can be open, private or shared
Find datasets, and organise them to help others find them
Sell data, sharing processing costs between users
In short, it’s what the elite data wrangling teams inside places like #Wolfram Alpha and Google’s #Metaweb teams do. But made easier and more visible using standardised tools and protocols.
../..
Windows / OSX (+ Excel / #LibreOffice / …) – the desktop serves as a (good enough so far) DMS
CKAN software – started as a data catalog, but has grown into more and powers the DataHub, a community data hub and market. Created by the Open Knowledge Foundation
ScraperWiki- coming from the viewpoint of a programmer, good at ETL
Infochimps/DataMarket – approaching it as a data marketplace
BuzzData – specialising in the social aspects
Tableau Public – specialising in visualisation
Google Spreadsheets – coming from the web spreadsheet direction
Microsoft Data Hub – corporate information management
PANDA – making a DMS for newsrooms

Now in Alpha : Fast, Free and Unlimited Personal Media Sharing Powered by BitTorrent « BitTorrent Blog

une extension de µtorrent qui permet de partager plus facilement des fichiers entre amis (signalé par @moderne et testé avec lui) ; je ne comprends pas tous les détails car les fichiers sont aussi initialement seedés sur les serveurs de BT
Share’s power, speed and “unlimited” philosophy are possible thanks to the ultra-efficient #BitTorrent protocol. Instead of requiring users to store files in remote data centers, Share users seed files from their own computer and recipients may download them directly. Once downloaded, a recipient also seeds a file. If multiple members of a group actively seed files, download speeds are dramatically increased thanks to the distributed nature of the sharing protocol. To ensure quality of service and file availability, we will also initially host and remotely seed a file for a limited time.

DIASPORA* ALPHA

Don’t condemn the youth
They are the fruit of our society. They reflect the society into which they were born and grew up. The society that gave them the parameters to orient themselves and live by.
Who are the role models in our society? Politicians who don’t make any secret of their mafiose behaviour. Who kill, torture and maim hundreds of thousands of civilians for material and political profit.
Bankers who suck whole countries dry and give themselves huge bonuses. Who play with economies like a yo-yo.
Who is to blame? It us, who have become domesticated like sheep and cows, accepting our capitivity and impotence. Who let others dictate to and mesmerise us. Who parrot opinions we have read in the newspapers or have heard on the tv and radio.
We call ourselves adults, yet we behave and think like children. We are stunted and we are slaves.
Chief Sitting Bull is reputed to have said that the trouble with us “civilised” people is that we cannot feel the breeze on our cheeks, we cannot smell the grass of the prairies.
We are programmed to want, to desire and regard happiness as that fleeting moment when we are satisfying our desires instead of regarding happiness as being in peace without them.
Open your eyes. Is not looting precisely what we are doing in the Middle East and Central Asia? Yes. Our youth have learnt well from their rulers. The Prime Minister and Queen should give them medals for manifesting the same spirit which created the British Empire, The United States and the current empire.
Loot and plunder! If it’s good enough for our politicians, bankers, CEO’s and rulers, why should we complain when our youth reflect the same spirit?

“The antiglobalization movement was the first step on the road. Back then our model was to attack the system like a pack of wolves. There was an alpha male, a wolf who led the pack, and those who followed behind. Now the model has evolved. Today we are one big swarm of people.”

Syncany – Le Dropbox open source
►http://www.korben.info/syncany-le-dropbox-open-source.html
#Syncany fonctionne de manière similaire à #Dropbox, possède une couche de chiffrement et permet la sauvegarde sur (au choix) un espace local (un disque partagé par exemple), un serveur FTP, un serveur accessible en SSH (#SFTP pour être exact), un serveur IMAP, un partage #webdav ou si vraiment vous le désirez, sur des services de stockage en ligne comme #Box.net, Amazon #S3, #Picasa ou encore #Google_Storage.
(ne vous emballez pas, c’est de l’alpha)
Oui, j’ai vu ça, je me suis dit « Parfait ! Je vais l’installer sur mon serveur, je garderai la main sur mes données, je n’aurai plus de limitation… » Bon mais en fait pas tout de suite :(
grace aux commentaires de l’article signalé, je découvre ça : ►http://www.kablink.org/ifolder
@davduf un de mes collègues à participé au développement de iFolder, et fait le constat suivant :
« Novell a eu une attitude absolument grotesque avec ce projet, l’entrainant dans sa tombe par l’abandon de tous les contributeurs principaux.
C’est maintenant à des années lumières des solutions basées sur du cloud, des apis correctes etc.
Pas une solution viable quoi. »
APres un rapide essai, je plussoie. iFolder a tout du projet moribond, hélas...
...Beta maintenant, et passé sur github :-)
▻http://www.syncany.org
While the basic idea is similar to Dropbox and JungleDisk, Syncany is open-source and additionally provides data encryption and more flexibility in terms of storage type and provider:
- Data encryption: Syncany encrypts the files locally, so that any online storage can be used even for sensitive data.
- Arbitrary storage: Syncany uses a plug-in based storage system. It can be used with any type of remote storage.
Even though Syncany is still under heavy development, it already supports a wide variety of different storage types:
- Local Folder: uses any local folder as storage. This could be any mounted device, network file systems (NFS), or any virtual file system based on FUSE.
- FTP: uses an FTP folder as remote repository.
- IMAP: uses an IMAP folder as remote storage. Stores file chunks as e-mail attachments.
- Google Storage: uses a bucket in the Google Storage service as repository.
- Amazon S3: uses a bucket in the Amazon Simple Storage Service as remote storage.
- Rackspace Cloud Files: uses a Cloud Files container as remote storage.
- WebDAV: uses one folder in a WebDAV as remote storage.
- Picasa Web Albums: encodes the file chunks in images, and uses a Picasa album as repository.
- Windows Share (NetBIOS/CIFS): uses a Windows share as data repository.
- Box.net: uses a Box.net folder as data storage.
- SFTP/SSH: uses an SFTP folder as data storage.
