Networks, Crowds, and Markets: A Book by David Easley and Jon Kleinberg

by karlcow

Over the past decade there has been a growing public fascination with the complex "connectedness" of modern society. This connectedness is found in many incarnations: in the rapid growth of the Internet and the Web, in the ease with which global communication now takes place, and in the ability of news and information as well as epidemics and financial crises to spread around the world with surprising speed and intensity. These are phenomena that involve networks, incentives, and the aggregate behavior of groups of people; they are based on the links that connect us and the ways in which each of our decisions can have subtle consequences for the outcomes of everyone else.

Networks, Crowds, and Markets combines different scientific perspectives in its approach to understanding networks and behavior. Drawing on ideas from economics, sociology, computing and information science, and applied mathematics, it describes the emerging field of study that is growing at the interface of all these areas, addressing fundamental questions about how the social, economic, and technological worlds are connected.

The book is based on an inter-disciplinary course entitled Networks that we teach at Cornell. The book, like the course, is designed at the introductory undergraduate level with no formal prerequisites. To support deeper explorations, most of the chapters are supplemented with optional advanced sections.

Python Package Index : roles 0.6.0

by karlcow

Library for Role based development.

Pythonic implementation of the DCI (Data Context Interaction) pattern (http://www.artima.com/articles/dci_vision.html).

The big difference with mixins is that this role is applied only to the subject instance, not to the subject class (alas, a new class is constructed).

Roles can be assigned and revoked. Multiple roles can be applied to an instance. Revocation can happen in any particular order.

EULA Oreilly

by karlcow

Although this is an absolutely free trial, Safari Books Online does require that you enter credit card information for security purposes. We will authenticate your card at the beginning of your trial period to determine if the card number is valid. We do this by issuing a "dummy" $1 charge. This charge is never actually applied to your credit card because it disappears as soon as we verify the authenticity of the card. Occasionally, depending on how your bank or credit card issuer handles these types of tests, customers may see this charge in their account, but it always drops off. If your free trial period ends and you have not cancelled your account, you are authorizing us to automatically charge your card the monthly fee (plus any applicable taxes) for the subscription type you have chosen.

IxEdit

by ycc2106 & 4 others
IxEdit itself is made with JavaScript, and it is an entirely new type of design tool which is to be embedded in the HTML you are editing. Firefox, Safari, Chrome, or IE becomes your interaction development environment. The interactions you create will be applied on-the-fly to the web page, so you can edit them while checking how they behave in real time.

Socio-Technical Assemblages « Service Design Research

by karlcow

There’s a strong tendency to see services as ‘things’: we often hear that services are ‘more complex’ than products. All kinds of means to grasp the complexity of an airline or a hospital can be applied – cybernetics, actor-network theory, etc. But the interaction between a prostitute and his or her john or jane is complex in a way I don’t think these approaches capture.

Bugs Everywhere

by Spone & 1 other
Bugs Everywhere is a “distributed bugtracker”, designed to complement distributed revision control systems. By using distributed revision control as a backend for bug state, we gain several convenient features: * Bugs and code that live on branches are tracked together—when a branch is merged, both the code changes and bug changes that the branch contains are merged alongside each other. We no longer have to be confused about whether a fix that is applied to the development branch but not yet present in the production branch means that our bug is “fixed”. * Users can fully modify bug state while offline, unlike with many centralized bugtrackers. * When a user checks out your source code, she gets the current bug state for free. * We can still provide access to a friendly web interface for users—in this model, a web interface becomes just another client that merges with the main repository.

Werner Bischof: In the Court of the Meiji Temple, Tokyo, Japan (59.559.4) | Heilbrunn Timeline of Art History | The Metropolitan Museum of Art

by sbrothier
An early member of the Magnum photo agency (he was admitted in 1949), Bischof worked mostly in Asia. His early training in applied art and graphic design imbued him with a keen formal eye, which was consistently in evidence as he worked to document newsworthy events and experiences. Here he has captured the delicate furor of a heavy snowstorm while photographing monastic life at the Meiji temple in Tokyo.

jQuery.ifixpng - png transparency for windows ie versions below 6

by kobo & 8 others (via)
plugin designed to fix that problem by applying appropriate filters to user specified elements, while keeping all element tags intact. Plugin works well with both img elements within the DOM and css properties specified externally. • It is chainable. • Unlike some other png hack solutions, it does not replace/hide any of your html tags. • You can revert applied changes using .iunfixpng(). • Extremely easy to use! Known limitations (I don't have solutions for those listed below yet - CSS features that are lost when the fix applied) • Always defaults to "background-position:top left" and you cannot reposition it. • Unable to perform "background-repeat:repeat-y" or "background-repeat:repeat-x" on a target. • For the hack to work your item needs to be visible.

Protocol for Web Description Resources (POWDER): Grouping of Resources

by parmentierf
The Protocol for Web Description Resources (POWDER) facilitates the publication of descriptions of multiple resources such as all those available from a Web site. This document describes how sets of IRIs can be defined such that descriptions or other data can be applied to the resources obtained by dereferencing IRIs that are elements of the set. IRI sets are defined as XML elements with relatively loose operational semantics. This is underpinned by the formal semantics of POWDER which include a semantic extension, defined separately. A GRDDL transform is associated with the POWDER namespace that maps the operational to the formal semantics.

[#HHH-817] Aggregate projection aliases should not be applied to where-clause - Hibernate JIRA

by night.kame 2 comments (via)

This is perfectly reasonable SQL. Oracle should support it.

Bug ouvert depuis trois ans. Visiblement chez JBoss, on préfère laisser filer plutôt que de reconnaître qu'on s'est vautré dans son commentaire.
