Opera Dragonfly - Style profiler preview

by karlcow

As a real world example of how big the impact can be on performance, I made a test with the full HTML5 specification downloaded locally and ran the profiler. I noticed few of the most expensive selectors had ":link" and ":visited". I changed these to instead be "a:link" or "a:visited" (in this case they were equivalent in terms of which elements matched). This trivial change makes the engine use a cache, and bought the selector matching time down from about 14 seconds to about 11 seconds.

Daring Fireball Linked List: Against Close Buttons

by night.kame

Gestures, to me, are the touchscreen equivalent of keyboard shortcuts: a convenient alternative, but almost never a good choice for the primary interface for a task. So, sure, it’d be nice if you could flick pages to the top of the screen to close them in Mobile Safari, but keep the red close button there too.

The key to iOS’s success is that you can figure almost everything out just by looking at it.

Il vaut mieux être capable de lire ça que d'être aveugle. En tout cas je ne sais pas où il vit, mais il n'a apparemment jamais vu les milliers de personnes essayant débilement tous les gestes possibles parce que justement, ils ne voyaient pas comment faire autrement avec leur périphérique iOS.

Challenges and choices facing e-book readers -- Shanghai Daily | 上海日报 -- English Window to China New

by night.kame

An e-book (short for electronic book) is a digital media equivalent of a conventional printed book. The device displays e-books with e-ink (electronic ink) technology. It may be a device specifically designed for that purpose, such as Amazon's Kindle and Hanwang's products, or with multiple functions, like Apple's iPad.

Comment se contredire en deux phrases : mode d'emploi. L'iPad n'utilise pas la technologie e-Ink pour l'affichage, et l'iPad est une bien piètre liseuse électronique (illisible au soleil, trop lourd pour être tenu à une main, trop cher pour se risquer à le sortir dans les transports en commun, trop fragile pour risquer de la faire tomber dans le métro).

PHPMD - PHP Mess Detector

by Xavier Lacot

Review: Legion - Cinematical

by bouilloire
"Think of it this way: Legion is to the Bible as The Core is to a geology text book. The trailers may have you thinking that Legion looks silly and stupid but in a good way; a kind of cinematic junk food. It is not. It's worse than that. Legion is the cinematic equivalent of a Styrofoam cup." Déjà que je ne voulais pas le voir, là je crois que même "à l'occasion" ça ne se fera pas

PHP Security Consortium: PHPSecInfo

by parmentierf & 8 others (via)
PhpSecInfo provides an equivalent to the phpinfo() function that reports security information about the PHP environment, and offers suggestions for improvement. It is not a replacement for secure development techniques, and does not do any kind of code or app auditing, but can be a useful tool in a multilayered security approach.

Script Converter

by ycc2106
Script Converter is a Google Labs product that allows the user to read a web page in a script of their choice. For example if the user can understand spoken Tamil but cannot read the script, they will be able to view Tamil web pages in English (Roman) script. We do not translate any content - we transform the words on the page to its phonetic equivalent in the desired script. We also support the conversion from non-Unicode encodings to Unicode, so that users can view pages without installing the custom font otherwise needed. Users will still need Unicode fonts. To start browsing a website, type the url in the text area, choose your preferred script and press convert.\n Currently we support the following scripts.\n\n * Bengali\n * English\n * Gujarati\n * Devanagari (Hindi, Marathi, Nepali)\n * Kannada\n * Malayalam\n * Tamil\n * Telugu

Compatibility Master Table

by srcmax
This is a general overview table; a Yes here does not mean a browser supports every tiny detail of the specification correctly. Instead, it means that it supports a workable subset of the specification. In IE’s case this may mean that it supports its proprietary methods and properties, and that those properties are generally equivalent to the W3C spec.

It is a specialised Semantic Web browser that follows foaf documents around the web, building a distributed open social network. It is also a foaf editor, which you can use to publish your foaf files to an ftp/scp server.

The wraps come off data.gov.uk! - Archive - The Dextrous Web

by alphoenix
The site is a blend of the US’s equivalent, data.gov, and Directgov | Innovate. It’s got a listing of available data packages, powered by the Comprehensive Knowledge Archive Network, and user-generated lists of apps and new ideas. This is just right: the data you need, combined with a way to promote the things you make and a place to get ideas if you’ve got itchy typing fingers but lack inspiration.

Alberto Milone.com - Home

by tadeufilippini (via)
My name is Alberto Milone, I graduated [1st level degree (equivalent to a BA) - December 2005, 2nd level degree (equivalent to a MA) - March 2008] in Foreign Languages (the name of the course was "Lingue Moderne per la Comunicazione Internazionale") at the Università del Salento. I was born in Turin in 1983 but I have spent most of my life in Lecce. My current interests range from the study of the English language to (open source) software development on GNU/Linux distributions, for which I have an insane passion. I work on a GNU/Linux distribution (based on Debian and developed by Canonical) called Ubuntu Linux. According to Canonical's webpage: "Ubuntu" is an ancient African word, meaning "humanity to others". Ubuntu also means "I am what I am because of who we all are". The Ubuntu Linux distribution brings the spirit of Ubuntu to the software world

Make: Online : Getting free wireless in airports and hotels

by Fulcanelli (via)
One of the frustrating things about traveling is the obligatory pay-wireless that so many hotels and airports provide. If you check your mail at the airport and again at the hotel, it's pretty easy to run up charges equivalent to a month's worth of broadband, not to mention that you have to give your credit card to an unknown access provider affiliate.

WubiGuide - Ubuntu Wiki

by tadeufilippini (via)
Troubleshooting Cannot access the CD This sometimes happens when a DVD media/drive is used and/or if the CD is corrupted and/or if the support is of poor quality and/or the CD/DVD is not finalized. Wubi does not require a physical CD, download wubi from http://wubi-installer.org and run it without the CD in the tray. If you have already downloaded the ISO file, place the ISO in the same directory as Wubi.exe. Cannot boot into Ubuntu Ubuntu cannot be booted if Windows has not been shut down cleanly, you have to clear the Windows filesystem from Windows (there is no chkdsk equivalent for Linux yet). If Wubi fails to start, boot into windows, run chkdsk /r from windows on the same drive where you have installed Ubuntu, shutdown cleanly and then try to boot into Ubuntu again. Note that sometimes files are moved by Windows into a hidden folder called c:found.000. You need to have c:ubuntudisksroot.disk and c:ubuntudisksboot. If you do not see those, look for found.000. You need to change the windows explorer settings to be able to see hidden folders first, then move the files from found.000 to their original location. Make sure you did not install on a RAID array or in an encrypted disk. Also make sure you did not install using an Alternate or DVD ISO. Other boot or video problems Some hardware is not fully compatible and Wubi will freeze upon booting (ACPI) and/or you may experience video problems. Those are not Wubi specific issues. There are generally special parameters that are required to enable workarounds for such hardware. If you press ESC at boot after selecting "Ubuntu" you will se a menu with more boot options. If the workarounds do the trick, we encourage you to notify the developers, so that a long-term solution can be investigated. For more boot options, once in the grub4dos menu, hit 'e' to edit the first line. Next select the second line and hit 'e' again. Input 'irqpoll' towards the end of the bootline. Then hit 'enter' and then 'b' to boot. Another option that might help is 'all_generic_ide'. Installation error while formatting the swap file If the installation fails while formatting the swap virtual disk it means that your drive is excessively fragmented. Uninstall, run jkdefrag on the target drive, then run wubi again. Cannot uninstall Ubuntu If you used Wubi rev 505, the uninstaller may fail if you installed on a drive different from C. In such case use Uninstall-Ubuntu.exe. Wubi rev 506 does not have this issue. Cannot download the ISO file This normally happens when you are behind a proxy server, sometimes the server might be down temporarily. In either case you can download the ISO manually as explained above. Problems upgrading from 7.04 to 7.10 Upgrading from 7.04 to 7.10 is NOT supported. Upgrading from 8.04 to later versions is fully supported. Video Problems after second reboot If you experience problems after installation, press "Ctrl Alt F2" and run: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg Select the Vesa driver and leave all other options at default. Then reboot. That will allow you to boot into a safe graphic mode (limited resolution) you should then be able to install the appropriate drivers or try other solutions as appropriate. Corrupted NTFS filesystem

ChikunoCube - Natural Air Purifier Made from Bamboo Charcoal Powder

by sbrothier & 1 other (via)
Chikuno Cube is an air freshener made from ultra fine powder of bamboo charcoal and clay minerals. Bamboo Charcoal has high capacity of absorbing odors, but the secret to the superior absorption powder of Chikuno Cube is the micro-honeycomb structure that amplifies it's surface area by hundred fold. This 2-inch cube has the surface area equivalent of 4 football fields and works best in a small enclosed space such as refrigerator, closets and cars. It is eco-friendly and can be re-used for up to 1 year by just exposing it to direct sunlight every month for 6 hours. The quality is rooted in Kyoto’s craftsmanship, and it won the Japanese Good Design Award in 2008

People's Music Store: Build Your Own Record Shop

by garret (via)
"People's Music Store is a newly launched DIY online music store. It was created by the founder of MP3 reseller Bleep.com, Ged Day. People's Music Store styles itself as "the first music store entirely powered by music fans." Basically the service allows you to set up your own custom-designed record store, with music chosen from a catalogue of indie record labels (so far no major record label music). The idea is that you earn points, equivalent to 10% of the price of the single, EP or album that you sell. These points can only be used to buy other music items on the People's Music Store site. There are more than 650 stores currently, with over 250,000 songs in the catalogue - most appear to be available at $0.99 per song or $8.99 per album. The site claims to be "working with" 4,500 labels, including 4AD, XL, Rough Trade, Matador, Dominio, and Ged Day's own Warp. Other than the lack of major label music, there is another minor annoyance for those of us who don't live in the U.S. - international users will frequently run into a "we're sorry, but this release is not available in your country" message. However on the plus side, all the music available for download is DRM-free and at high quality 320Kbps." [reawriteweb]
