by Monique

Simply clone or fork Octopress, install dependencies and the theme, and you’re set.

APIs are for human beings (too) - Twilio Engineering BlogTwilio Engineering Blog

by karlcow

Computers don’t care about API design. Convenient serialization formats, sane parameter names, and a RESTful interface mean nothing to a robot.  These aspects of an API are not meant for a machine, they’re meant for you – the developer.  APIs should be for human beings first and computers second.

Forrester to your IT dept: Let them use Macs — Apple News, Tips and Reviews

by night.kame

Snow Leopard clients have tons of issues with SMB shares and we had to dumb down our Windows 2008 R2 security because Mac’s cant connect to it.

We used to be able to get help from Apple, but the department we worked with is gone. Apple does not care about the Enterprise at all.

La seule entreprise qui intéresse Apple, c'est Apple.

A static HTML generator. It's a small template system I use to generate this site. It parses text files (HTML or not, it doesn't really care) and outputs the result, allowing you to include other files and embed python code.

It’s the end of the web as we know it « Adrian Short

The conclusion here should be obvious: if you really care about your site you need to run it on your own domain. You need to own your URLs. You’ll have total control and no-one can take it away from you. You don’t need anyone else. If you put the effort in up front it’ll pay off in the long run.

Backups

by karlcow

I am here to tell you about backups. It's very simple. Option 1: Learn not to care about your data. Don't save any old email, use a film camera, and only listen to physical CDs and not MP3s. If you have no posessions, you have nothing to lose.

The facial recognition revolution – Global Public Square - CNN.com Blogs

by karlcow

Imagine being able to pull up a résumé, Facebook profile, tax records and vital statistics just by taking a photograph. Consider how this will change social interaction and dynamics in public spaces - on the streets, at a conference, on campus, at an anti-government protest, in the personal care aisle of your local supermarket and in nightclubs.

TwitLonger: Dear Google, I would like to bring to your attention a few things before I disconnect permanently f

by night.kame

I do not care that a Google service is free. That is Google embracing a “You don’t like it? Too bad, it’s free anyway” approach. Free or not, all users are in the Google orbit and it is through advertising to us, their base, that Google has made the billions of dollars they have. There is no other corporation trading stock at the level of Google that does not offer customer support, plain and simple.

Et il a mis 6 ans à s'en rendre compte, c'est ça le plus triste.

Transfer files to and from an iPad - Computerworld

by oseres
It’s true that you can use your iPad instead of your Mac to take care of many common computing tasks. But unless you’re ready to ditch Mac OS X entirely, you’ll still need to transfer files back and forth between your iPad and your Mac if you’re going to get work done. Unfortunately, transferring and synchronizing files between the Mac and the tablet isn’t easy. There are several different ways to do it, but none are perfect, and each has its deficiencies. Frankly, this is one area where Apple could vastly improve the iPad experience. Until that happens, here are your choices when it comes to transferring files between your various devices.

LAUNCH Conference - Blog - LAUNCH002: What I Learned from Zuckerberg's Mistakes

by karlcow

Then it really hit me: Developer-driven startups always produce product faster.This stands to reason: our nontechnical people are having discussions and debates while Zuckerberg is coding his next feature. This is why no one has been able to keep up with Facebook!

The cost of social glue. Accepting mistakes will happen and take care of them when they happen or avoiding as much as possible the mistakes by a requirement document in advance.

The Report an Error Alliance

by karlcow

Giving site visitors an easy-to-find, easy-to-use “report an error” button is a way of saying to them that you care about accuracy, you want to know when you make errors, and you’re conscientious about fixing them. It’s like putting a “you can trust this” badge on everything you publish.

buttons and badges more than content.

Pypes - Flow Based Programming

by karlcow

Pypes provides a scalable, standards based, extensible platform for building ETL solutions. Most commercial platforms have steep learning curves and try to generalize too much of the process. Pypes provides a simple yet powerful framework for designing custom data processing workflows using components you write. In turn, it takes care of scalability and scheduling semantics.

Checking colour contrast – Humanising Technology

by Monique
When people talk about colour contrast on the web, they’re usually thinking in terms of text and information rich images. Most people won’t care what colours you’ve used for your decorative swooshes. If they can’t read the information you’ve put on your website though, they’re likely to be quite unhappy about it.
