apophenia: Facebook's move ain't about changes in privacy norms

by karlcow

Power is critical in thinking through this. The privileged folks don't have to worry so much about people who hold power over them observing them online. That's the very definition of privilege. But for most everyone else, they do. And forcing people into the public eye doesn't dismantle the structures of privilege. What pisses me off is that it reinforces them. The privileged get more privileged, gaining from being exposed. And those struggling to keep their lives together are forced to create walls that are constantly torn down around them.

Sound advice - blog

A significant weakness of HTTP in my view is its dependence on the MIME standard for media type identification and on the related iana registry. This registry is a limited bottleneck that does not have the capacity to deal with the media type definition requirements of individual enterprises or domains. Machine-centric environments rely in a higher level of semantics than the human-centric environment of the Web. In order for machines to effectively exploit information, every unique schema of information needs to be standardised in a media type and for those media types to be individually identified. The number of media types grows as machines become more dominant in a distributed computing environment and as the number of distinct environments increases.

The Web At A New Crossroads

by oseres
Technology was then the black sheep, having left overnight millionaires destitute and without change to afford their $4 lattes. Even the posers had left San Francisco and gone back to suburbia to be office managers at Walmart. It was a sad time for everyone — that is, except the die-hards and the hackers. The web for them had never been about making money, but about reshaping culture and toppling the old order. 2003, therefore, was the perfect time for a resurgence: the people who kept pushing on in the Valley and elsewhere were a concentrated motley crew of innovators and builders. They cared about technology for technology’s sake and about developing and advancing web culture. What they didn’t realize, however, was that the services and technologies that they were destined to build would need to be cobbled and sewn together using a system that would fight them every step of the way — not out of spite — but because of its architecture. By definition the network available was decidedly anti-human: in 2003, there was only the document-centric web.

Maybe it is some sort of programmer midlife crisis: why am I doing what I'm doing, and why does it matter?

Outstanding Issues in HTML

The current working specification for HTML[9] does not faithfully represent

contemporary practice as supported by applications such as Mosiac and Lynx.

Ubuntu (philosophy) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

by tadeufilippini (via)
Ubuntu (philosophy) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search For other uses, see Ubuntu (disambiguation). Experience ubuntu.ogg Play video Nelson Mandela explains the concept of Ubuntu Ubuntu is an ethic or humanist philosophy focusing on people's allegiances and relations with each other. The word has its origin in the Bantu languages of Southern Africa. Ubuntu is seen as a classical African concept. (Dion Forster 2006a:252)[1] PULANDO UM TRECHO ..TEMOS : Meaning An attempt at a longer definition has been made by Archbishop Desmond Tutu (1999): “ A person with Ubuntu is open and available to others, affirming of others, does not feel threatened that others are able and good, for he or she has a proper self-assurance that comes from knowing that he or she belongs in a greater whole and is diminished when others are humiliated or diminished, when others are tortured or oppressed. ” Archbishop Desmond Tutu further explained Ubuntu as follows (2008): “ One of the sayings in our country is Ubuntu - the essence of being human. Ubuntu speaks particularly about the fact that you can't exist as a human being in isolation. It speaks about our interconnectedness. You can't be human all by yourself, and when you have this quality - Ubuntu - you are known for your generosity. We think of ourselves far too frequently as just individuals, separated from one another, whereas you are connected and what you do affects the whole world. When you do well, it spreads out; it is for the whole of humanity. ”

Larry Masinter on public-html (26-05-2009)

by tehu

The document is currently over 930 pages when printed "letter" size. The first complaint I get from implementors wanting to review the specification is that it is unreviewable: too long, to complex, too difficult to review individual sections, too difficult to find the definition of terms, or where things are used.

L. Masinter, J. Downdell, Matt May (ex W3C) - ces jours-ci, le front anti-html5 vient d'adobe.

BitFellas: Main

by e_D_D_y
BitJam is a demoscenish radio which will only play demoscene or related material. Obviously what is related to the demoscene can be a pretty vague definition, so it might be better to state what it ISN'T. We won't play: Commercial music (if you have released music on cd and give us permission to stream it and if it is scene related then it's another matter!), some random guy's music (even though it might not be commercial/copyrighted), adverts, etc. It's all just pretty much common sense

Open Source GIS

by balluche & 4 others
This effort represents an attempt to build a complete index of Open Source / Free GIS related software projects. The effort has some way to go, especially for projects in languages other than English. The definition of GIS has been kept loose to encompass a broad range of projects which deal with spatial data.
