Coming At You Like A Pydermonkey at Toolness

by karlcow

Pydermonkey’s mission is pretty simple and straightforward: it’s just meant to wrap Spidermonkey’s C API as faithfully as possible—including its debugging API—while enforcing the memory safety that Python is known for. This makes it awfully low-level for casual programmers, but thanks to Python’s awesome support for magic methods, it’s not hard to create high-level wrappers that provide much more convenient bridging between JavaScript and Python code.

How I Draft an Information Architecture

by karlcow

This is surprisingly easy, but there is a dependency. You need information. You need to understand what you are trying to achieve, what users of the service need and know, and you need to know the content well. If you don’t have these things, it will be hard. But if you do have them, pulling them together into a first draft is surprisingly easy.

Internet Alchemy » Representing Time in RDF Part 1

by karlcow

Way back in 2006 I wrote a blog post concerning the modelling of time in RDF (see Refactoring Bio With Einstein Part 3: Temporal Invariants. That post also provoked some discussion in the blogosphere. Although I haven’t written anything on the subject for the past three years I haven’t stopped thinking about it. In fact I’ve been working quite hard on the problem, mainly by modelling real data, especially geographical information. This is the first of a series of blog posts describing my experiments. I’d like to thank Leigh Dodds and Jeni Tennison who gave me valuable feedback on an earlier version of this write-up.

russell davies: blocks of time and the mechanical facebook

The hours spent in your browser or PowerPoint are easily forgotten, no trace of them normally remains, but once they're made flesh in brightly coloured blocks they become annoyingly hard to get rid of.

The Duct Tape Programmer - Joel on Software

by ERSWeb (via)
Jamie Zawinski is what I would call a duct-tape programmer. And I say that with a great deal of respect. He is the kind of programmer who is hard at work building the future, and making useful things so that people can do stuff. He is the guy you want on your team building go-carts, because he has two favorite tools: duct tape and WD-40. And he will wield them elegantly even as your go-cart is careening down the hill at a mile a minute. This will happen while other programmers are still at the starting line arguing over whether to use titanium or some kind of space-age composite material that Boeing is using in the 787 Dreamliner.

jwz - My ongoing Kafka-esque nightmare of dealing with Palm and their App Catalog submission process.

by night.kame

As someone who has written serious, production-quality code for WM5 and WM6, I say this from many months of hard experience:

I WOULD RATHER STICK A FONDUE FORK THROUGH MY SCROTUM.

Never the fuck again will I develop for that platform. My god, I thought X11 was bad...

C'est ça la véritable expérience Windows Mobaïle.

SpriteMe

by parmentierf & 1 other (via)
Background images make pages look good, but also make them slower. Each background image is an extra HTTP request. There's a fix: combine background images into a CSS sprite. But creating sprites is hard, requiring arcane knowledge and lots of trial and error. SpriteMe removes the hassles with the click of a button.
