Google Knowledge Graph Could Change Search Forever
certains of whatwg parlent déjà comme des robots.there is another frontier that might benefit from the power of Google’s Knowledge Graph: Robotics. Singhal is, admittedly, no expert, but noted that robotics, which exists at the intersection of mechanical engineers and computing, struggles when it comes to language capabilities. “I believe we are laying the foundation for how robotics would incorporate language into the future of robot-human interaction,” he said.

Wikipedia Map Interface
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 concept of ownership — possessing the exclusive rights and control over a property of any kind — has existed for centuries and in all cultures. Whether by state, collective or personal, ownership is a determining factor not only in our built environment, but in the way we shape our society, too. Yet what happens to ownership when the behaviors and needs of our society shift? What do we need to own, if anything at all? In every change, the redefinition provides new opportunities for our built environment.

It is okay to use POST » Untangled
POST only becomes an issue when it is used in a situation for which some other method is ideally suited: e.g., retrieval of information that should be a representation of some resource (GET), complete replacement of a representation (PUT), or any of the other standardized methods that tell intermediaries something more valuable than “this may change something.”
China has no colonial designs on Africa: FM|World|chinadaily.com.cn
la voix officielle"China has always insisted upon a policy of self-sufficiency in grain. Instead of purchasing piles of land in Africa, it has, to the best of its ability, offered aid in agricultural technology to African countries and helped their agricultural production, as well as boosted the indigenous exploitation of their own natural resources and the capacity to cope with climate change and food security," Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei told a daily news briefing in Beijing.
“Eppur si muove!”* – Dealing with Timezones in Python | Armin Ronacher's Thoughts and Writings
At one time the following decisions were apparently made for the datetime module in the standard library: the datetime module should not ship timezone information because timeszones change too often. the datetime module however should provide an API to attach timezone information to a datetime object. It should provide these objects: date, time, date+time, timedelta

Opera Dragonfly - Style profiler preview
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.
When Wikis Go Bad | evolt.org
When people are new to wiki concepts, it takes a real mental gear change for them to understand that anybody can edit a page, or add a new page. It takes a while for them to understand they can make changes themselves instead of emailing the author or moderator, or leaving comments, asking them to make changes.

dretblog: Creating Resources with GET/PUT
here is the proposed sequence of steps in this scenario: clients GET the template and a token from the factory resource. since this operation does not change server state, it is safe and idempotent and it is possible to use GET. clients PUT to the token URI, at which point the server creates and populates the resource at the repository level, and keeps track of the token from which the resource has been created. the server responds with a 303 (See Other) response, indicating the persistent URI of the resource. subsequent requests to the token URIs are handled with a 301 (Moved Permanently) response, telling clients that the token URI should no longer be used, and that a persistent URI is now available.
