Draft: The Web platform — Edward O’Connor

by karlcow

The Web platform encompasses many tools that live outside of browsers, but the important part of calling a technology a piece of the Web platform is that it works with the public content of the Web. For instance, a web crawler like Google’s doesn’t run in a browser, but processes public Web content, so it and its underlying pieces are clearly built on the web platform.

by cascamorto
Remote Process Explorer is a powerful tool for managing, monitoring and analyzing processes on a local or remote computer.

jQuery Plugin: jQuery Timers

by srcmax (via)
jQuery timers is an attempt to combine jQuery's concise chaining programming style with the awkward style in which timed events are coded in JavaScript to produce a friendlier and more intuitive timed event system. In addition, it fixes the most prevalent issue with the various event systems of JavaScript: misconfigured scope. All the methods you design to use in setTimeout/setInterval in JavaScript cannot use 'this' to reference the desired element because 'this' always references the window object. Because of this, closures are required to produce useful code. Without the need for closures, these methods could be stored inside the class rather than inside the calling method which would produce a more modular and object oriented style of coding.

CSSHttpRequest - Hacks - nb.io

by marco & 1 other
Similar to JavaScript, this works because CSS is not subject to the same-origin policy that affects XMLHttpRequest. Like JSONP, CSSHttpRequest is limited to making GET requests. Unlike JSONP, untrusted third-party JavaScript cannot execute in the context of the calling page

…My heart’s in Accra » Creative Capital: Same stories, different models?

by karlcow

A lot of these wild-ass things are connected to war, terrorism, 9/11 and surveillance. Hasan Elahi, a Bangladeshi-American artist, monitors and publishes online enormous amounts of data on himself and his movements, down to the food he eats and the toilets he uses. It’s a response to a six-month ordeal he experienced when detained at DTW under suspicion - completely spurious - that he was involved with terrorist activities. Elahi now tries to overwhelm the FBI with data about his life, calling attention to the absurdity of perpetual surveillance.
