Wikipedia Map Interface

by karlcow

The dynamic map is completely created in your browser. This has the advantage that the map is interactive, you can zoom into it, change colors, and see for every point what article it is and link to it. But it has the major disadvantage that it requires some heavy resources. This link may crash your browser. Use a reasonably fast machine, a current version of Chrome, and be patient while loading the data — your browser is loading more than 50 MB of data and processing it via JavaScript into an HTML5 Canvas.

the node.js aesthetic :: The Universe of Discord

by karlcow

The "batteries included" approach may have struck a worthwhile tradeoff back when package managers were primitive and modules were global, but that advantage evaporates in the face of baked-in concurrent library versioning and sophisticated package management.

un exemple est l'état de certaines librairies python. Catastrophique.

HTML Formatting for Custom Menus | Digging into WordPress

by mozkart
For some projects, it’s nice to output clean, well-formatted markup. Using theme template files enables great control over most of your (X)HTML formatting, but not so much for automated functionality involving stuff like widgets and custom menus. One of my current projects requires clean, semantic HTML markup for all web pages, but also takes advantage of WordPress’ custom-menu functionality to make things easy. In this DiW article, we’ll see how to enjoy both: WordPress custom menus and clean, well-formatted HTML markup.

The Way of Least Resistance: Situational reflex: the key to martial effectiveness

by Takwann
He has a fast reaction time, but something is missing. What? The answer is that he is missing an appropriate reflexive response. The problem isn’t that Emero doesn’t react quickly enough: The problem is that he doesn’t react at all - at least not in a useful way. He has the potential to react very quickly indeed. But that potential does not, of itself, confer upon him any advantage in the present circumstances.

Stack Overflow Search — Now 81% Less Crappy - Blog – Stack Overflow

by karlcow & 1 other

Take advantage of our web farm. Right now our server farm has ten fairly beefy, modern web servers with 16 GB memory each that are … pretty much doing nothing most of the time. We are almost comically overprovisioned. With Lucene, we can create an index on each webserver and have the “heavy lifting” of actually searching the index distributed across those 10 webservers instead of a single big iron database.

Modernizr

by ludochane

S-XL CAKE | thesis.armina

by karlcow

S-XL CAKE plays with our individual need for different sizes of cake-pieces in a decorative, provocative and ironic way by taking advantage of the new possibilities that flexible silicone baking dishes offer.'

Google Analytics for WordPress version 4 - Yoast

by mozkart (via)
Google Analytics has gotten so many new features in the last year, that the only way I could incorporate those into my Google Analytics plugin, which has been downloaded 1,006,720 times, was by doing an almost complete rewrite. That’s why today, I’m proud to announce version 4.0 of this plugin. What’s new with this Google Analytics plugin? Asynchronous tracking First of all, this new version 4.0 switches to the new asynchronous tracking method. This new tracking was also the reason it took a while to get this version out the door: there were quite a few bugs to work out; tracking by the beta was not reliable for a while. What’s the advantage of the new tracking you ask? Why bother switching? Well, there are three reasons, as listed by the Google Analytics blog: Faster load times for your web pages due to improved browser execution of the tracking code. Enhanced data collection & accuracy. Elimination of tracking errors from dependencies when the JavaScript hasn't fully loaded. If you want to know more about asynchronous scripts, check out this blog post by Steve Souders, in which he explains the concept and what it means for page load times. The short version: a normal script blocks other objects on your page, like images, from being loaded until it has been fully loaded. An asynchronous script allows for those other objects to be downloaded at the same time. Custom Variables Google launched the custom variable support in October 2009, and I’ve been playing with ways to use these in tracking ever since. Custom variables are a way to add data about the current page, the current session or the current user in your tracking, which you can use for some very cool things.

Hyperlocal Newswire Fwix To Provide Content To NYTCo Properties | paidContent

by alphoenix
The NYTCo’s local content efforts are getting a quick boost from hyperlocal newswire Fwix. In a sense, the deal with Fwix can buttress the NYTimes.com’s New York metro area blogs program, The Local, which it began last year. The deal enables the distribution of Fwix’s technology and hyperlocal content across any of NYT’s Regional Media Group properties, as well as other properties such as Boston.com and NYTimes.com. For now, the deal will center on the various small properties belonging to the NYTCo (NYSE: NYT), not the NYTimes.com itself—at least not right away. The first NYTCo paper to take advantage of Fwix’s newswire is the Press-Democrat in Santa Rosa, Ca.

Official Google Webmaster Central Blog: Working with multi-regional websites

by oseres
Did you know that a majority of users surveyed feel that having information in their own language was more important than a low price? Living in a non-English-speaking country, I've seen friends and family members explicitly look for and use local and localized websites—properly localized sites definitely have an advantage with users. Google works hard to show users the best possible search results. Many times those are going to be pages that are localized, for the user's location and/or in the user's language.
