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.

Usability of Programming Languages
A programming language is essentially a means of communicating between humans and computers. Traditional computer science research has studied the machine end of the communications link at great length, but there is a shortage of knowledge and research methods for understanding the human end of the link.

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.

Languages of the World (Wide Web) - Research Blog
Chinese and Japanese also seem unusual because there are relatively few links from pages in these languages to pages in English. This is despite the fact that Japanese and Chinese sites are the most popular non-English sites for English sites to link to. However, the number of sites in a language is a strong predictor of its `introversion', or fraction of off-site links to pages in the same language. Taking this into account shows that Chinese and Japanese webs are not unusually introverted given their size. In general, language webs with more sites are more introverted, perhaps due to better availability of content.
