The 2.0 Life

by e_D_D_y
I started The 2.0 Life in an attempt to bridge that gap, to give everyone a way to understand and use the best tools available to us online. As the world turns more and more to the computer and the “cloud,” it leaves some people wondering what in the world clouds have to do with computers. There are so many tools, so many applications, and so many avenues of communication that are available thanks to the Internet, but too many people still don’t know about them. My hope for this site is that it becomes a place to turn for the tools and knowledge you need to thrive online - that includes everything from how to keep passwords secure, to which task-managing application is best, to why Twitter is a seriously useful tool.

SocialAction

by karlcow

Social network analysis (SNA) has emerged as a powerful method for understanding the importance of relationships in networks. However, interactive exploration of networks is currently challenging because: (1) it is difficult to find patterns and comprehend the structure of networks with many nodes and links, and (2) current systems are often a medley of statistical methods and overwhelming visual output which leaves many analysts uncertain about how to explore in an orderly manner.

Coca Plant from ebook of The Andes And The Amazon : or, across the continent of south america by james Orton M.A.

by sbrothier (via)
On the upper waters grow the celebrated coca, a shrub with small, light-green leaves, having a bitter, aromatic taste. The powdered leaves, mixed with lime, form ypadú. This is to Peruvians what opium is to the Turk, betel to the Malay, and tobacco to the Yankee. Thirty million pounds are annually consumed in South America. It is not, however, an opiate, but a powerful stimulant.

by sbrothier
In 1863, Angelo Mariani added coca leaves to wine to create Vin Mariani. This ad was published in the July 1898 Century magazine. The ethanol in the wine extracted the cocaine from the coca leaves creating cocaethlyene. This substance was a powerful mood altering beverage endorsed by actors and actresses, authors (Ibsen, Zola, Jules Verne, Dumas, Doyle), composers (Massenet, Gounod, Faure), royalty (Queen Victoria, King George I of Greece, King Alphonse XIII), President McKinley and 2 Popes: Leo XIII and Pius X.

Comet Daily » Blog Archive » The Future of Comet: Part 2, HTML 5’s Server-Sent Events

by greut

Comet doesn’t have to be a hack. Currently, as we saw last time, Comet relies on undocumented loopholes and workarounds, each one with some drawbacks. We can make Comet work effectively in every browser, using streaming transports on subdomains of the same second-level domain, or using script tag long polling across domains. But this leaves Comet developers implementing (and more frustratingly, debugging) several transports across several browsers. Traps are numerous and easy to stumble into.

event-source is the future of all Comet things.

Patrick Roberts's Blog

by karlcow

imagine a process as a tree-shaped (or graph-shaped) assembly line. Inputs flow in through the leaves and are transformed, filtered or reduced where branches join. This well represents lazy-functional programming. Say one wants the words from a line-delimited file, excluding acronyms, then converted to lower case and stored in a set for quick lookup.

Class Inheritance with PHP

by chantal (via)
There are many benefits of inheritance with PHP, the most common is simplifying and reducing instances of redundant code. Class inheritance may sound complicated, but think of it this way. Consider a tree. A tree is made up of many parts, such as the roots that reside in the ground, the trunk, bark, branches, leaves, etc. Essentially inheritance is a connection between a child and its parent.
