Do you sometimes feel like the browser is a black box? We are building richer and richer applications on the Web platform and this means that developers are running up against new issues to debug and test. We feel like it is a great time to develop new tools that afford you the ability to look into the runtime to hopefully help you find a bug, or allow you to keep your application as responsive as possible. Today we want to start a conversation about some of our thinking, with the hope that you will join in. We have been taking a hard look at the tools landscape, and here is a presentation that gives you an idea of our thinking:

Political Memory is a toolbox designed to help you reach members of European Parliament (MEPs), and track their voting records. We hope it will help citizens to get to better know their elected representatives, and to allow them to inform them on the issues covered by La Quadrature du Net.
LASVM is an approximate SVM solver that uses online approximation. It reaches accuracies similar to that of a real SVM after performing a single sequential pass through the training examples. Further benefits can be achieved using selective sampling techniques to choose which example should be considered next. As show in the graph, LASVM requires considerably less memory than a regular SVM solver. This becomes a considerable speed advantage for large training sets. In fact LASVM has been used to train a 10 class SVM classifier with 8 million examples on a single processor.
The XenAccess project was inspired by ongoing research within the Georgia Tech Information Security Center (GTISC). The purpose of this library is to make it easier for other researchers to experiment with the many uses of memory introspection without needing to focus on the low-level details of introspection. If you are using this library and come up with a useful extension to it, we are always happy to receive patches.
Probably the best free games online with score boards too. Users can create their own game.

Mon collègue Stuart 'Pavlov' Parmenter vient de publier un très long billet sur la consommation de mémoire des navigateurs, et de Firefox 2 et 3 en particulier. Il explique comment Mozilla a travaillé pour réduire la consommation de mémoire de Firefox. Je vous fait grâce des détails, et je résume les points clés en fin de billet.
