Daring Fireball Linked List: Google's 'Meaning of Open'

by znarf & 1 other

Google senior vice president Jonathan Rosenberg published a long memo “about the meaning of ‘open’ as it relates to the Internet, Google, and [Google’s] users.”

It’s the biggest pile of horseshit I’ve ever seen from Google.

Daring Fireball: Why the HTML5 'Video' Element Is Effectively Unusable, Even in the Browsers Which Support It

by night.kame & 1 other

The bad news: In all three browsers (Safari, Chrome, Firefox), with the above simple markup, the video content buffers automatically on page load. What I mean is that as soon as you load the web page, the browsers download the actual video files that are embedded

Moi qui pensait que <audio> et <video> étaient prag-ma-ti-ques. Mais non, après des semaines de débats sur les formats à supporter (ou non), les ultra-géniaux (et modestes) concepteurs de HTML 5 ont laissé un élément de base d'utilisabilité de côté. Comme quoi, les mailing-list du WHAT WG auraient dû être bannies à Copenhague.

Daring Fireball: A Liberal, Accurate Regex Pattern for Matching URLs

by Spone (via)
A common programming problem: identify the URLs in an arbitrary string of text, where by “arbitrary” let’s agree we mean something unstructured such as an email message or a tweet. I offer a solution, in the form of the following regex pattern...

Daring Fireball Linked List: You Should Follow Daring Fireball on Twitter

by night.kame

Again, this is a bug in Firefox. Don’t ask me to use another domain name for the shortened URLs. If no one uses IDN domain names, what will motivate developers to fix (or work around) IDN bugs?)

Comment, Firefox laisse trainer des bugs dans les spécs existantes et préfère passer du temps sur les wannabe spécs ? Nooooooon.

Daring Fireball Linked List: Droid Limited to 256 MB of Storage for Apps

by night.kame

Did Motorola even look at the size of popular apps in the App Store before releasing this?

Ce n'est pas parce que Xcode génère des applications de tailles monstrueuses que le monde entier est devenu subitement ignorant de la bonne utilisation des ressources d'un matériel informatique (même si de ce point de vue là Adobe et son Flash nous refait le coup du joueur de flûte de Hamelin).

Daring Fireball Linked List: One-Handed Computing With the iPhone

by night.kame

One-handed operation wasn’t feasible on stylus-based systems.

Parfois on peut invoquer l'ignorance ; mais pas toujours. Alors on doit faire appel à la stupidité.

Daring Fireball Linked List: Garmin, TomTom Shares Sink On New Google Navigation Feature

by night.kame

Soon enough, Google’s service will be both free and superior. Garmin and TomTom are toast.

La supériorité à l'heure actuelle chez Google à un nom : la grande métropole. En-dehors de ça, la cartographie à la Google est très loin de la supériorité. Et on espère une très bonne heuristique de gestion avec les temps de latence réseau en 3G...

Daring Fireball Linked List: Jackass of the Week: U.S. District Court Judge James Ware

by night.kame

Federal judge James Ware orders Google to disable the email account — which belongs to someone who did nothing wrong and was sent the email message by mistake.

En même temps ce n'est pas grave, c'est juste une boîte mail gratuite, il n'y a certainement pas de quoi insulter le juge.

Daring Fireball Linked List: Snow Leopard Ships Friday

by night.kame

I can’t think of a single change that isn’t an improvement over 10.5.

Moi j'en vois un : Snow Leopard ne s'installe pas sur mon Mac.

Daring Fireball Linked List: Gmail Passes AOL to Capture Third-Place in Web Mail

by night.kame

Many of my friends — technically knowledgeable, demanding email users — use and love Gmail. None of them use Hotmail or Yahoo Mail. Raw user count is the wrong metric; Gmail has already won.

Moi aussi j'utilise Gmail, tous mes abonnements aux mailing-lists et les inscriptions aux sites avec peu de valeur ajoutée. Etant donné que Gmail ne permet pas de trier ces mails, et qu'il est sujet aux faux positifs dans le filtrage des spams, c'est à peu près tout ce qu'on peut lui confier de sérieux.

Google is like Apple in this way. It starts by taking over the premium end of a market.

Bien d'accord, Google a pris le premium des boîtes mail poubelle. Je n'utilise plus jetable.org ni mailinator.com : Gmail fournit un service identique.

Daring Fireball Linked List: App Store WTF of the Week (App Store Link)

by night.kame

Ends up the App Store review team simply doesn’t deal with copyright and trademark verification (with the exception of enforcing Apple’s own trademarks, of course). Any beef Nintendo has ([...]) is between Nintendo and Mariolife’s developer. Makes sense.

A partir du moment où Apple touche un tiers du produit des ventes, ça en fait pas sens du tout qu'ils n'aient rien à faire de la propriété intellectuelle concernant les applications qu'ils choisissent de distribuer.

Daring Fireball Linked List: Adobe on HTML 5

by night.kame 5 comments

Translation into plain English: We’re not worried about HTML 5 because we know IE will never support it.

C'est en effet bien parti pour.

Daring Fireball Linked List: Bruce Lawson Interviews Ian Hickson, Editor of the HTML 5 Specification

by night.kame

I’m just a spectator, albeit a very interested one, but I have long thought that Hickson possesses just the right mix of pragmatism and idealism for this job.

Sauf que le pragmatisme 2.0 ressemble bigrement à de l'infantilisme.

(Animation)Shooting fireball*Updated*

by sylvainulg
another (pixel) animation lesson by ben2theedge << there are two rules you MUST remember when animating: 1: Bodies in motion tend to stay in motion, and bodies at rest tend to stay at rest 2: Every action causes an equal and opposite reaction For almost any animation this is all the physics knowledge you need. You can make an animation more or less "stylized" by exaggerating or downplaying these laws. >>

Daring Fireball Linked List: Apple Changes Developer Documentation Typography

by karlcow 2 comments

Several readers pointed out that the PDF metadata indicates Apple has finally stopped using FrameMaker in Classic to produce its documentation. The PDF Producer string now reads “XEP 4.9 build 20070115”.

XSLFO pour créer la documentation. http://www.renderx.com/tools/xep.html

Daring Fireball: WWDC 2008 Miscellany

by karlcow

What struck me watching these demos is that you could build a really slick web app UI using stuff like the canvas tag, SVG, and advanced CSS. Yes, none of this stuff works in IE, and IE still has massive market share — but not among the sort of people who adopt hip new web apps. The combined market share for, say, Firefox 3 and Safari 3 is larger than the overall market share for Mac OS X. Plenty of developers write desktop software that only works on the Mac — why aren’t more people writing apps web apps that only work in truly modern web browsers? The first one to do it is going to be a sensation.
