How I learned to stop worrying and love REST - Mike Mayo

by karlcow

By following the REST style, I would have saved myself either A) having to alter my iOS code and resubmit to the store, or B) time spent researching alternate caching methods and implementing them in Rails. As it stands, my partially-RESTful API is going to cost me (and possibly the client) more time before we can call the project finished.

MapAttack

by karlcow

25 Things I Learned From Opening a Bookstore

by bouilloire & 2 others
21. A surprising number of people will think you've read every book in the store and will keep pulling out volumes and asking you what this one is about. These are the people who leave without buying a book, so it's time to have some fun. Make up plots. Huhu

Time Scales - GitHub

by karlcow

D3's time scale is an extension of d3.scale.linear that uses JavaScript Date objects as the domain representation. Thus, unlike the normal linear scale, domain values are coerced to dates rather than numbers; similarly, the invert function returns a date. Most conveniently, the time scale also provides suitable ticks based on time intervals, taking the pain out of generating axes for nearly any time-based domain.

Small But Digital - The MidiBus

by Emaux
The MidiBus is a MIDI library for Processing. It provides a quick and simple way to access and interact with installed MIDI system resources. The MidiBus is aimed primarily at real time MIDI applications. The focus is on strong MIDI I/O capabilities and keeping frills to a minimum (e.g. currently no built in sequencer, file read/write, MIDI recording/playback).

openphoto/frontend - GitHub

by karlcow

OpenPhoto works similarly to Flickr, Smugmug and other photo sharing services with one major difference: you retain ownership and give OpenPhoto access to use them. All photos, tags and comments are stored in your personal cloud accounts with companies like Amazon, Rackspace or Google. This means you can easily switch between OpenPhoto services, use more than one at a time or stop using them altogether while retaining all of your photos, tags and comments.

Kaiping Tower Houses (“Dialou”) » Tenuous Resilience

by karlcow

These houses, thus, had to serve dual roles: to project an image of luxury, with newfound wealth and culture represented by ostentatious ornament with a distinct western influence, and to protect that wealth from marauding bandits (apparently a big problem at the time).

Social TV - La Live Battle - Novedia Group et Hubiquitus

by gregg
La télévision est vivante ! De plus en plus, les téléspectateurs commentent, partagent et interagissent sur les réseaux sociaux autour des programmes que ce soit avant, pendant voire après leur diffusion. On parle d'ailleurs de Social TV, ou «télévision sociale», pour décrire ces usages émergents. Pour illustrer ce phénomène, nous mesurons chaque jour, à partir de 19h, en temps réel et pour l’ensemble des chaines de la TNT, l’activité sociale publique sur Twitter autour des prime time. Basés sur la présence de mots clés dans les tweets (nom du programme, hashtags officiels, ...), les indicateurs ainsi calculés - sans qu'ils ne constituent toutefois des valeurs absolues et exhaustives - nous permettent de faire émerger des tendances et d’illustrer de nouveaux types de comportements.

polis: Moving On Up? Outdoor Escalators in Urban Environments

by karlcow

In Comuna 13 of Medellin, Colombia's largest city, a recently built 1,260-foot long escalator snakes across the hillside shantytown in six separate divisions. As part of the neighborhood's larger urban regeneration project, this massive outdoor escalator cuts down the time to traverse Comuna 13, reportedly one of Medellin's poorest and most violent neighborhoods, from 35 minutes to six minutes on foot.
