By the time Harry Clarke (17 March 1889 – 6 January 1931) came to illustrate Edgar Allan Poe’s Tales of Mystery and Imagination in 1919, the work first published in 1902 had already been illustrated by Arthur Rackham, Edmund Dulac and Gustave Doré.

This flipbook is a collaboration between the Digital Constitutionalist and Better Images of AI. It serves as a way to challenge the misrepresentative tropes that are often used to visualise AI.

In modern mythmaking, the role of the robot and its AI mind is ambiguous. For some, an autonomous machine is a saviour, promising liberation from drudgery while transcending our foibles and frailties. For others, it is a monster, threatening the termination of humanity. In our imaginations, robots and AI form a question for our future: […] The post Artist Showcase: Cur Deus Machina first appeared on The Digital Constitutionalist.| The Digital Constitutionalist
Two Salem-born authors competed for best-seller status in the 1850s, but it wasn’t really much of a competition: Miss Maria Cummins’s Dickensian novel The Lamplighter: or An Orphan Girl’s Struggles and Triumphs (1854) far outpaced Mr. Nathaniel Hawthorne’s The Scarlet Letter (1850) and The House of the Seven Gables (1851) in this decade, and after. Hawthorne’s …| streetsofsalem
A handful of years ago, I included the poem “April in Paris” in my book, The Dancing Fish. When thinking of which of my poems and stories to create videos of, this one came to mind.

Around the 1.29 release, I started hearing lots of questions about sidecars. What are they? What’s this thing about them in 1.29? Why is it a big deal?

The term “sidecar” likely originated as a handy phrase to describe a natural pattern arising from how Kubernetes manages containers. Kubernetes manages containers by abstracting them away using its own concept of “the pod.” A pod... Read More Re...| Containerized Adventures
Kubernetes is a Container Orchestrator, so this post builds on the cookie analogy in my Containers as Cookies: How to Use Containers post. I’ve been using this analogy for years to mainly call out that: With these key benefits, containers took the world by storm – with companies big and small around the world quickly adopting the technology. The new packaging and isolation mechanism brought a lot of benefits to businesses, largely around delivery speed and ease & consistency of... Read Mo...| Containerized Adventures
I published my container cookie analogy on this blog for the first time in 2019 as “Explain Like I’m 5: Containers vs VMs.” At the time, I created the analogy to help bring sales professionals up to speed on container technology quickly and in a way that helped them understand why their customers were talking about it.
