Wikipedia Map Interface

by karlcow

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

by greut

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.

Arc's Soy Machine: NodeTree 0.2 Released

by karlcow

I just shipped NodeTree 0.2. This version will not parse an XML stream. All it contains are some basic types representing XML nodes such as Comment, Document, and Element. As promised, text is also handled as a node but uses standard Python strings (UTF-8 strings/bytes and unicode). These should all be fairly intuitive to use.

Logistics and Opposition

by karlcow

'Sabotage the social machine'. 'Incinerate the documents!'. In the first contribution to a group of articles on logistics, workplace surveillance and national security, Alberto Toscano examines the anti-urbanist presuppositions of insurrectionary anarchism, speculating on how the catastrophic destiny of certain technological innovations might instead be turned to different ends

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.

The Future Of CSS: Embracing The Machine - Smashing Coding

by Monique

The common conception among Web designers is that a good style sheet is created by hand, each curly bracket meticulously placed, each vendor prefix typed in manually. But how does this tradition fit in a world where the websites and applications that we want to create are becoming increasingly complex?

Comment Steve Jobs a changé nos vies | Slate

by night.kame (via)

J’ai appris la mort de Steve Jobs sur un appareil qu’il

a inventé —un iPhone— et je suis en train d’écrire sur une autre machine née de sa volonté: un ordinateur avec interface graphique. Il se trouve que j’utilise un PC sous Windows, composé de matériel générique que j’ai assemblé moi-même; techniquement, seul mon clavier a été fabriqué par Apple. Mais tout cela n’a aucune importance.

Bah, de toute façon Apple n'a pas fabriqué le clavier non plus vu qu'ils n'ont pas d'usine, donc tout cela n'a aucune importance : au diable la précision, supprimons tout ce qui ne va pas dans le sens de la thèse soutenue, et saupoudrons de contre-vérités. Ce qu'il y a de bien avec Apple, c'est que l'hagiographie a commencé depuis longtemps, il n'y avait pas de raison que ça s'arrête aujourd'hui.

Are We Fast Yet? - PhobosLab

by karlcow

There are some things that the benchmark can't measure. Opera for instance has a very steady timing and never misses a frame. On my machine however, the benchmark still looks choppy - probably because the benchmark's timer isn't synchronized with the refresh rate of the display. Opera essentially renders frames that it never displays. The new requestAnimationFrame() could fix this, but it hasn't arrived in all browsers yet.

History and the copy machine: the economist’s price of everything « matt.me63.com – Matt Edgar

by karlcow

And as we entered the 21st Century we did so with the internet, the most insanely efficient copy machine the world has ever seen. We can take any text, picture, song or movie and, in seconds, copy – not transmit but copy – it from one side of the world to another. This too is a cause for celebration. We are better informed, better connected and better documented than ever before.
