Your information has a life of its own, and it ’ s using you to get what it wants. One of the most peculiar and possibly unique features of humans is the vast amount of information we carry outside our biological selves. But in our rush to build the infrastructure for the 20 quintillion bits we create every day, we’ve failed to ask exactly why we’re expending ever-increasing amounts of energy, resources, and human effort to maintain all this data. Drawing on deep ideas and frontier thinking in evolutionary biology, computer science, information theory, and astrobiology, Caleb Scharf argues that information is, in a very real sense, alive. All the data we create—all of our emails, tweets, selfies, A.I.-generated text and funny cat videos—amounts to an aggregate lifeform. It has goals and needs. It can control our behavior and influence our well-being. And it’s an organism that has evolved right alongside us. This symbiotic relationship with information offers a startling new lens for looking at the world. Data isn’t just something we produce; it’s the reason we exist. This powerful idea has the potential to upend the way we think about our technology, our role as humans, and the fundamental nature of life. The Ascent of Information offers a humbling vision of a universe built of and for information. Scharf explores how our relationship with data will affect our ongoing evolution as a species. Understanding this relationship will be crucial to preventing our data from becoming more of a burden than an asset, and to preserving the possibility of a human future. |

The only book you need to understand blockchain: what it is, how it works and how it will transform business, society and our everyday lives. Basic Blockchain is an accessible, non-technical introduction to a revolutionary technology. 'Makes it easy for the average business executive to understand blockchain' -- Chris Larsen, founder and chairman, Ripple 'An essential tool for those looking to distinguish information from noise' -- Eva Kaili, MEP and Chair of The Committee for the Future of Science and Technology A revolution is under way across the globe, yet very few people understand it. Basic Blockchain will explain everything you need to know to understand the technology that will soon disrupt and revolutionise everything from financial and health services to the property market and how we vote. Born of an obscure body of research on game theory developed by NASA, originally championed by drug dealers seeking to launder ill-gotten gains, accelerated by entrepreneurs seeking to improve financial access for the poor, funded by giant corporate interests attracted to the potential for billions of dollars of cost savings, blockchain heralds a new era of financial inclusion, legal inclusion for the dispossessed and lower prices for consumers. In short, it will enact radical change on our lives. In this book, David L. Shrier, one of MIT and Oxford University's leading futurists, explains for the general reader: - The history of blockchain, its apocryphal progenitor Satoshi Nakamoto and the socioeconomic context of its origins in the 2008 financial crisis. - How blockchain works, including the core technologies that drive it such as cryptographic hashes and network theory, all described in simple, understandable terms. - The potential of blockchain, including its impact on our jobs, industry and society as a whole. Blockchain will disrupt and transform our world in profound ways. This accessible book, written by a global authority on blockchain, is the essential introduction to the next technological revolution. |

No matter how clear and well written, naked code is never quite self-documenting. There is always a role for comments, whether the in-line narration of key design points or the formal annotation of public declarations. Nearly every modern language, including Swift, offers some kind of structured comment system that documents APIs for developers that consume them. The Swift structured documentation uses a mix of custom keywords and Markdown syntax to create a simple, easy-to-apply annotation tool. By leveraging this industry-standard tech, Apple opens up its structured documentation system to an entirely new generation with an absolute minimum of training needed to get up to speed. This short book introduces Swift's documentation markup system using simple, illustrated examples, with plenty of discussion of best practices. You'll discover the components that make up Swift's structured comment system and learn how to best integrate them into your own code. For the most part, I've built this material out of examples from Swift's standard library, from release notes, and by reverse-engineering extensible style-sheet specifications. While I've tried to include a thorough list of legal tokens, I've focused on supplementing core details with a thoughtful discussion of best practices that will stand the test of time as Apple updates this system. I hope you find this book to be a useful and worthy addition to your development library. I've had a great time writing it. Hopefully you'll have a great time reading it. Thank you for purchasing a copy! -- Erica Sadun What people are saying: "I wish every line of #swiftlang I read in the future will be written by someone who reads the awesome [book] by @ericasadun" -- Mark Engle, @_markengle "Just bought @ericasadun's #swiftlang Docs Markup Book. It's great for Swift devs" -- @Kametrixom "Erica Sadun's new book, Swift Documentation Markup, an Illustrated Tour , not only explains the importance of documentation, it also comprehensively details the breadth of Xcode’s markup support...Until I read the book, I had no real idea of just how powerful this support was. In a series of clearly written sections, Erica explains how to implement features such as text formatting, category keywords and even embedded images with real world demonstrations, examples of how Apple use them and recommendations on whether they should actually be used. The ability to add rich content to documentation means that creating code comments now feels more of a creative process and there’s a certain satisfaction to option-clicking your carefully crafted function to see a beautifully formatted comment appear. This in itself is a incentive to start documenting properly...So, thanks to Erica, expect to see a massive improvement in my own code documentation from now on." -- Simon Gladman, @FlexMonkey "instapurchase!"  -- James O'Leary, @jpohh "Cool book on Xcode quick help comments by @ericasadun...Oh, and did I mention the book's cover is gorgeous?" -- @blessing_Lopes "Every dev should have this!!!" -- Vic Hudson, @vichudson1 "Thanks for this!" -- Nick Kohrn, @bnkohrn |

Depuis quelques années, le Mac semble être prisonnier d’une interminable transition. En 2016, macOS Sierra avait inauguré iCloud Drive en même temps que le système de fichiers APFS, et remis en cause nos certitudes sur la gestion des documents. En 2017, macOS High Sierra avait opéré une petite révolution graphique, en adoptant Metal 2 et les cartes graphiques externes. En 2018, les entrailles de macOS Mojave confirmaient le rapprochement fonctionnel avec iOS évoqué par le ravalement de façade de l’App Store. Enfin en 2019, macOS Catalina avait abandonné les architectures 32 bits et les pilotes traditionnels, tout en adoptant les applications iPad. Et à chaque nouvelle version, Apple tournait un peu plus la vis sécuritaire. Du point de vue du journaliste spécialisé que je suis, ce long mouvement est passionnant. Tout change ! Du point de vue de l’utilisateur que vous êtes, ce long mouvement est épuisant. Tout change… D’autant plus que cette année, macOS Big Sur étrenne une toute nouvelle apparence, dont la rondeur et la transparence rappellent moins les précédentes versions de macOS que les dernières distributions GNU/Linux. De manière très symbolique d’ailleurs, macOS Big Sur n’est pas la seizième version de macOS 10, mais la première version de macOS 11. Au moment même où Apple confirme son intention d’abandonner les processeurs Intel, et annonce que les futurs Mac seront capables d’exécuter les applications iOS, le Mac devient presque un iPad comme les autres. L’interface de macOS Big Sur donne envie de toucher l’écran avec les doigts, et les nouvelles applications Messages et Plans proviennent des versions iPadOS. Pour autant, et pour l’instant du moins, le Mac reste le Mac. Vos fenêtres flottent toujours sur le bureau, maintenant encadré par le Centre de contrôle et le Centre de notifications. Surtout, vos applications favorites gagnent des dizaines et des dizaines de petites nouveautés, que vous découvrirez dans les mille prochaines pages. Bonne lecture ! |

Over the course of a generation, algorithms have gone from mathematical abstractions to powerful mediators of daily life. Algorithms have made our lives more efficient, more entertaining, and, sometimes, better informed. At the same time, complex algorithms are increasingly violating the basic rights of individual citizens. Allegedly anonymized datasets routinely leak our most sensitive personal information; statistical models for everything from mortgages to college admissions reflect racial and gender bias. Meanwhile, users manipulate algorithms to "game" search engines, spam filters, online reviewing services, and navigation apps. Understanding and improving the science behind the algorithms that run our lives is rapidly becoming one of the most pressing issues of this century. Traditional fixes, such as laws, regulations and watchdog groups, have proven woefully inadequate. Reporting from the cutting edge of scientific research, The Ethical Algorithm offers a new approach: a set of principled solutions based on the emerging and exciting science of socially aware algorithm design. Michael Kearns and Aaron Roth explain how we can better embed human principles into machine code - without halting the advance of data-driven scientific exploration. Weaving together innovative research with stories of citizens, scientists, and activists on the front lines, The Ethical Algorithm offers a compelling vision for a future, one in which we can better protect humans from the unintended impacts of algorithms while continuing to inspire wondrous advances in technology. |

Discover why you will be able to understand Python programming language in less than 6 hours if you can read an English sentence… If you see a code called "print", what do you think is going to happen? a. This line will be copied  b. This line will be printed c. This line will be deleted If you have the level of a primary school kid, you´ll most likely answer "b)" and you are right.  Python is known as the easiest programming language in the world. Even if it is so easy that kids can learn the basics, you are able to develop big and complex projects.

Understand the technical foundations, as well as the non-programming skills needed to be a successful full stack web developer. This book reveals the reasons why a truly successful full stack developer does more than write code.  You will learn the principles of the topics needed to help a developer new to agile or full stack working—UX, project management, QA, product management, and more— all from the point of view of a developer. Covering these skills alongside the fundamentals and foundations of modern web development, rather than specifics of current technologies and frameworks (which can age quickly), all programming examples are given in the context of the web as it is in 2018. Although you need to feel comfortable working on code at the system, database, API, middleware or user interface level, depending on the task in hand, you also need to be able to deal with the big picture and the little details.  The Full Stack Developer  recognizes skills beyond the technical, and gives foundational knowledge of the wide set of skills needed in a modern software development team.   |
