Understanding Bidirectional (BIDI) Text in Unicode
by Spone
A little-understood corner of Unicode is its handling for bidirectional text (The spec is a little dry). While English languages are read left-to-right, plenty of scripts (notably Arabic and Hebrew) are read from right to left. When only a single direction of text is used in a document, it's fairly straight forward, but when texts with different directions are mixed in one document, some difficulty arises in determining direction. This document attempts to explain how bidirectional text in Unicode works and what this means for the web.

Blog Stéphane Bortzmeyer: Mon exposé à Sparkling Point sur les conséquences politiques des choix techniques
by CharlesNepote
(via)
un exposé sur « Les conséquences politiques des choix techniques », suivant l'observation de Lawrence Lessig que « The code is the law » (l'architecture - d'un système technique - est la loi).
Je développe trois exemples, empruntés au monde de l'Internet, les politiques d'allocations d'adresses IP, la révision de la norme sur les noms de domaines en Unicode et les débats sur la nouvelle architecture de routage et d'adressage de l'Internet.
