inessential.com: One of My Mistakes

by karlcow

But I’ve long had a similar question about NetNewsWire. Back in 2002 and 2003, when NetNewsWire would read a feed, it would send the URL of NetNewsWire’s product page as the referer. That was wrong. (It’s also what other readers did, so I justified it as the then-current best practices.) It wasn’t a privacy violation — it wasn’t terribly wrong — but it was still wrong because it was misusing the referer. (The user-agent is where that info was supposed to go.)

Python Ecosystem - An Introduction » mirnazim.org

by karlcow & 2 others

This is not about teaching Python - the programming language. This tutorial will not magically transform you into a Python ninja. I am assuming that you already know the basics of Python. If you don't, then stop right now. Go read Zed Shaw's brilliant free book Learn Python The Hard Way first and then come back.

BACK TO THE FUTURE : Irina Werning - Photographer

by gregg & 4 others
I love old photos. I admit being a nosey photographer. As soon as I step into someone else’s house, I start sniffing for them. Most of us are fascinated by their retro look but to me, it’s imagining how people would feel and look like if they were to reenact them today... A few months ago, I decided to actually do this. So, with my camera, I started inviting people to go back to their future.

jQuery AB: Un plugin jQuery pour faire de l'AB Testing facilement - La Ferme du web

by eledo34 (via)
L'AB Testing est une technique très répendue dans le domaine du Webmarketing, e-commerce ... permettant de comparer l'efficacité de deux versions de design, textes, dispositions ... jQuery AB permet à l'aide de l'insertion d'un bout de code Javascript de mettre en place ce système: Les visiteurs verront aléatoirement la version A ou la version B. A l'aide d'appels Ajax, le script va loguer les différentes actions des utilisateurs vous permettant ensuite de générer vos propres statistiques d'utilisation, puis appliquer les formules mathématiques permettant de savoir quelle version est la plus efficace.
