Comes with the Territory - we make money not art

by sbrothier & 1 other
Another exhibition i just saw in Berlin is Comes with the Territory at Charim Ungar Contemporary (CUC). Don't run to the gallery just yet, the show closed on Saturday. The exhibition brought together Israeli artists who explore the daily struggle to define and stretch the boundaries of the territory. Obviously, the word 'territory' in Israel comes with tense references to occupied stretches of land such as the ones in the West Bank and the Gaza strip. The term also evokes Israeli settlements on Palestinian land, check points, separation walls, disputed borders, forced evictions, etc. The artists in the exhibition, however, approach territory in a more private context. Comes with the Territory featured the works of Rotem Balva, Raafat Hattab, Gaston Zvi Ickowicz, Joshua Neustein, Nira Pereg and Roi Vaspi-Yanai. Subjective selection of works:

knockd is a port-knock server. It listens to all traffic on an ethernet (or PPP) interface, looking for special "knock" sequences of port-hits. A client makes these port-hits by sending a TCP (or UDP) packet to a port on the server. This port need not be open -- since knockd listens at the link-layer level, it sees all traffic even if it's destined for a closed port. When the server detects a specific sequence of port-hits, it runs a command defined in its configuration file. This can be used to open up holes in a firewall for quick access.

Asylum by Christopher Payne - Ideas - Dwell

by sbrothier
I got an advanced proof of Asylum: Inside the Closed World of State Mental Hospitals by architect and photographer Christopher Payne some time ago. But not until I really glimpsed and held the finished book did the power of his images, a six-year documentation of America's crumbling state mental institutions, come through.

Facebook is retro because, like AOL, it's retro by its nature. It's a closed system.

Doc Searls Weblog · What if Flickr fails?

by karlcow & 2 others

What’s to stop another company from doing to Facebook what Facebook did to MySpace? More to my point, what’s to stop some new owned-by-nobody technology or collection of protocols and free code from doing to Facebook what SMTP, POP3 and IMAP (the protocols of free and open email) did to MCI Mail, Compuserve mail, AOL mail, and the rest of the closed mail systems that competed with each other as commercial offerings? Not much, frankly.

The Joel on Software Discussion Group (CLOSED) - Why I Hate Frameworks

by ghis & 4 others (via)
"So this week, we're introducing a general-purpose tool-building factory factory factory, so that all of your different tool factory factories can be produced by a single, unified factory. The factory factory factory will produce only the tool factory factories that you actually need, and each of those factory factories will produce a single factory based on your custom tool specifications. The final set of tools that emerge from this process will be the ideal tools for your particular project. You'll have *exactly* the hammer you need, and exactly the right tape measure for your task, all at the press of a button (though you may also have to deploy a few *configuration files* to make it all work according to your expectations)."

Rethinking Wikipedia contributions rates | eaves.ca

by karlcow

karl dubost 0 minutos atrás I guess there are other things which might influence than only the raw number of participations. The social dynamic of Wikipedia system has evolved. The rules (like any communities) have strengthened and are more rigid than what they were in the past. It is basically more and more painful to create content for Wikipedia. As an occasional editor, I'm less and less inclined to make the effort to contribute because the article might go quickly under "Articles for Deletion" hammer.

Interesting thing to look at:

1. Timeline of Articles for Deletion (raw number and % of how many new articles)

2. Deletion compared to new contributors (stable, going down, going up)

3. Timeline should also plot the milestones of new editing rules.

4. The rate of new articles creation compared to the number of contributors.

These could drive to new processes, maybe there is a need for a better drafting tool that will help an article to reach a stage of maturity to be part of Wikipedia, and this will create another set of behaviours ;) Not a closed system.

Friday’s Trick #2: Websocket/Comet survival guide to Proxy, Firewall and Network Outage « 6312

by night.kame

You can loose server side events under the following conditions:

  • long-polling: between reconnection, servers side events may happens and if they aren’t persisted, those events will never reach your client.
  • websocket: Websocket are new and most if not all firewall will close them after some X idle times. Again, all server sides events will be lost
  • http-streaming: Some proxy really don’t like the http-streaming technique, and will close it right away. Again, possibility to loose server sides events.
  • Unexpected network outage: the connection can also be closed by something between your browser and server.

Je pense qu'il ment pour WebSockets, Hixie n'aurait pas pu laisser passer une telle déficience, il est infaillible et tellement pragmatique.

Polygon Area and Centroid

by karlcow

The centroid is also known as the "centre of gravity" or the "center of mass". The position of the centroid assuming the polygon to be made of a material of uniform density is given below. As in the calculation of the area above, xN is assumed to be x0, in other words the polygon is closed.

Centroid - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The centroid of a non-self-intersecting closed polygon defined by n vertices (x0,y0), (x1,y1), ..., (xn−1,yn−1) is the point (Cx, Cy), where [1]

Joho the Blog » The opposite of “open” is “theirs”

by karlcow

So, if we’re going to talk about the value of the open Internet, we have to ask what the opposite of “open” is. No one is proposing a closed Internet. When it comes to the Internet, the opposite of “open” is “theirs.”
