mnot’s Web log: The State of Proxy Caching

by karlcow

WRT Vary - Based on what Co-advisor sees as well as some of my own testing, Vary is safe in the very limited fashion that if you do a simple, one-dimensional vary, the wrong thing won't be returned.

futurelib / YeeRDF

by karlcow

Martha asks a number of questions about RDF in the article. Even the title is a question: "Can Bibliographic data be Put Directly onto the Semantic Web?" (Answer: it already is ) Martha is conducting an admirable gedanken experiment about the future of cataloging, creating her own cataloging code and trying to mesh her ideas with concepts coming out of the semantic web community. The article's value is not only in her conclusions but in the questions that she raises. In its unfinished state, Martha's thinking is provocative and just begging for further discussion and development.

WordPress › Post Templates « WordPress Plugins

by mozkart (via)
It happens quite often that a blogger publishes posts or static pages on a regular basis which have the same structure. Think about for example a "picture of the day" daily post. With current wordpress state, we need to spend a lot of time doing copy/paste between posts instead of actually writing content. All the instructions for installation, the support forums, etc. can be found on the plugin home page. IMPORTANT: LICENSE CHANGE Since version 4.0.0, the plugin has become a commercial plugin. It can be ordered (for cheap) on the plugin home page. Version 3.4.x will remain available for download for free on the WordPress plugin repository. No further development will be made on this version.

Traffic Server is finally here | Ogre.com

# A scalable threaded asynchronous state machine model. On a typical setup, 2 or 3 threads per core is enough to drive a large amount of traffic.

# Feature-rich HTTP/1.0 and HTTP/1.1 support. We fair well in various tests like CoAdvisor.

# Plugin architecture, making it easy (well, easier) to extend and customize your server.

# Well documented.

CSS Tools: Reset CSS

by mozkart & 1 other (via)
The goal of a reset stylesheet is to reduce browser inconsistencies in things like default line heights, margins and font sizes of headings, and so on. The general reasoning behind this was discussed in a May 2007 post, if you're interested. Reset styles quite often appear in CSS frameworks, and the original "meyerweb reset" found its way into Blueprint, among others. The reset styles given here are intentionally very generic. There isn't any default color or background set for the body element, for example. I don't particularly recommend that you just use this in its unaltered state in your own projects. It should be tweaked, edited, extended, and otherwise tuned to match your specific reset baseline. Fill in your preferred colors for the page, links, and so on. In other words, this is a starting point, not a self-contained black box of no-touchiness.

Depending on the response's HTTP status the Location header has slightly different impact on the client's application state. The following table summarizes what I extracted from the HTTP spec.

a textile editor - built over html5 canvas

by Spone & 2 others
I'm pretty sure that textile is the right way to produce content for the web, and that WYSIWYG editors are bad for your website. But editing a large chunk of textile using a textarea is not fun. I usually use Textmate to edit textile content, and wanted to reproduce the same feeling inside a browser. The best online text editor is currently Bespin and I gave it a try. Unfortunately, the current state of bespin make it pretty difficult to embed the editor itself in a standalone way. Moreover I needed specifics features like 'soft wrap' that is totally required to edit some textile content. So I took the Bespin way, and started to hack using javascript and HTML5 canvas to create a simple, standalone and totally embeddable textile editor for the web.

Good design: Dieter Rams' ten commandments

by karlcow

Back in the early 1980s, Dieter Rams was becoming increasingly concerned by the state of the world around him – “an impenetrable confusion of forms, colours and noises.” Aware that he was a significant contributor to that world, he asked himself an important question: is my design good design?

As good design cannot be measured in a finite way he set about expressing the ten most important criteria for what he considered was good design. Subsequently they have become known as the ‘Ten commandments’.

Bugs Everywhere

by Spone & 1 other
Bugs Everywhere is a “distributed bugtracker”, designed to complement distributed revision control systems. By using distributed revision control as a backend for bug state, we gain several convenient features: * Bugs and code that live on branches are tracked together—when a branch is merged, both the code changes and bug changes that the branch contains are merged alongside each other. We no longer have to be confused about whether a fix that is applied to the development branch but not yet present in the production branch means that our bug is “fixed”. * Users can fully modify bug state while offline, unlike with many centralized bugtrackers. * When a user checks out your source code, she gets the current bug state for free. * We can still provide access to a friendly web interface for users—in this model, a web interface becomes just another client that merges with the main repository.
