“I hold that simplicity is the most important attribute of design,” I say. To which Tufte would reply, “No, you don’t.”
Today it occurred to me that, after a little over ten years of basic fluency in HTML, I have absolutely no idea why the href attribute is named “href”. Why not “url”, “link”, or even just “ref”?
I didn’t know it was possible to build such nice closed-source programs.
I've long thought that the percentage of visits going to Firefox in my site statistics were oddly high. It turns out it’s pretty much in line with numbers put out by both Bob Sutor and Joe Gregorio…
“The MIT guy did not like this solution because it was not the right thing.”
Did I ever tell you about the guy that spent the better part of a day making his site’s layout entirely em based …

Sanjiva Weerawarana is such a tool.
The quality of the generated HTML is poor and we need to be able embed custom stylesheets … and do something about those nasty URLs!
It’s that bad.

Some praise for Site24x7.
The axioms of web architecture and an invitation for big vendors to understand them.
That is to say, they don’t get it. This started out as a simple rant and turned into a decent sized essay on basic shared-nothing architecture and scaling down.

joshua schachter on Rabble/Kellan’s “Beyond REST?” presentation, with an interestingly simple HTTP-based callback system.
Great look at varnish and concerns around putting a front-end reverse proxy cache in place.
Awesome. I didn’t even know there were such things as Firebug Extensions.
With your host, Joe Gregorio.
if any – Another hella-great minimalist design.
A minimalist’s WordPress theme. Focus on typography and simple markup. Various configuration options and a print stylesheet.
Nice review of the various typographic tact found at Jon Tangerine’s Pith & pulp http://jontangerine.com/
Hilarious! What Mark doesn’t know is that much of my “minimalist redesign” was ripped directly from what he’s had in place for 2-3 years; “administrative debris” was just a convenient alibi.
“This plugin will alert you if you accidentally stumble onto MySpace.com, and take you back to the site you came from.”
Free (as in beer). Built on WebKit. Simple. Beautiful.
Compare (as in, diffs) the output of 15 different Markdown implementations. Includes every Markdown implementation I've ever come across and then some…
Interesting. I've been using the jquery-1.2.3.js hosted on google code for a few months now. Maybe I should have read the TOS…
An implementation of Markdown in portable ANSI C that’s roughly 28.5x faster than the canonical Perl implementation on a 179K test file. Looks like a complete implementation; includes smarty and footnote extensions.
Nice ApacheCon EU ‘08 presentation (warning: video + slides, no transcript) covering various blue sky stuff on Roy’s brain for Apache and HTTP.
Interesting look at evolution of UI and the semi-recent trend of adopting the web’s content oriented interface. Definitely overlaps with the fundamentals of “admin debris” and related ideas.
And I was just starting to get used to the Minefield icon… I've been running the nightlies for about three months now and FF2 is really feeling a bit like legacy software.
“Here’s something four-year-olds know: A screen that ships without a mouse ships broken.”
In response to Virgin Media CEO stating that he considers Net Neutrality to be “a load of bollocks” and promising to put any website or service that won’t pay Virgin a premium to reach its customers into the “Internet bus lane.”
The Python REPL running on Google’s infrastructure.
Christmas in Python land! Run Python/WSGI code on Google’s infrastructure. This is an incredibly H U G E win for the Python web community and further validates WSGI’s architectural awesomeness.
David Heinemeier Hansson: “PHP scales down like no other package for the web and it deserves more credit for tackling that scope.”
Agreed!
Brad Neuberg (Google Gears): “Our historical closeness to the web creates a kind of myopia, where we can’t see how amazing it is. It’s a billion Library of Alexandria’s dropped into our laps.”
Interesting take on AFD as launch-crazy-but-legit-projects day. I didn’t use the Internet at all this AFD and sent everything in my reader to /dev/null. Now, I feel kind of bad. Sorry about that, internet.
Roy Fielding on the difference between architecture, architecural styles, patterns, implementations, and applications.
Stefan Tilkov addresses some of the most common doubts people have when first deprogram and come up to speed on REST. Short and well done, IMO. I think I'll be handing this out quite a bit in the future.
“So the CLD lisp process uptime experiment is now over and I will move the CLD to a better place than a simple server in my basement.”
Spot on.
“If you can’t control the text width the next best thing you can do to compensate for an overly wide text measure is to increase the leading.” — I never considered that but it makes sense.
From the comments: “HyperText is like Text, but includes links to and from other hypertexts.”
“In the spirit of the Firefox 3 firstrun pages, I would like to permanently commemorate the noble deeds of the robot community in their fight for an open web.”
Yes! Please. Make your friends on myspace work for you. Idle CPU is wasted CPU, dontchaknow.
“The ngxhttpemptygifmodule keeps a 1x1 transparent GIF in memory that can be served very quickly.” — That’s so amazingly awesome; spacer.gif for life.
This is so right. Why didn’t client certificates ever catch on in the browser? Or signed emails? Neither are hard to get set up but nobody uses it. It’s weird.
I repackaged mongrel_proctitle as a GemPlugin so that all mongrels on use it automatically. This is the first chance I've had to play with GitHub, too. Lovin' it.
Constantly updates the the process title ($0) with something like: “mongrel_rails [10010/2/358]: handling 127.0.0.1: HEAD /feed/calendar/global/91/6de4”. Let’s you monitor backends with ps and top.
From 2002: “On this latter specification, Sutor is emphatic: web services are defined by whether they are described in WSDL.”
“The reason we are integrating our own allocator is that we've found jemalloc to be better than all the default allocators of our three main platforms (Windows, Mac OS X and Linux)”
A “Hello World” Rails webapp in fewer LOC than a Java console app that System.out.println(“Hello World”). The routes and controller DSLs look pretty interesting as well.
From the comments: “the only things i find [useful] in Web Developer Extension is the shortcut to clear cache… for other things i use Firebug…” — Me too!
An epiphany everyone needs to experience.
Lightweight Firefox extension that causes new tabs to open to the right of the current tab. Works with Firefox 3.0 betas and nightlies with extension compatibility checking disabled.
“Our hope was that the authors of misbehaving software and the administrators of sites who deployed it would notice these errors and make the necessary fixes to the software responsible.” – You must be new here.
“Welcome to Microsoft.”
Watch tweets pop up around the country on a google map as people comment on the goings-on of Super Tuesday.
You've got to be kidding me…
Ahh, it turns out Håkon’s Wium Lie (Opera CTO and the guy who first proposed CSS) is on YesLogic’s board, makers of PrinceXML. I'm not sure how I missed that.
Joe Gregorio: “This is what I call the ‘Scooby-Doo’ phase of the technology rejection curve, where the rubber mask has been ripped off and the crook yells as he’s dragged off by the cops […]”
“There comes a time in every old browser’s life to pack up shop and, well, fuck off. This time has come and gone for IE6 …” Also: “42% of global users are still browsing the web with IE6.”
This is pretty funny. Even the options dialogs are themed.
Neil Stephenson writing on “the longest wire on Earth” (undersea fiber) for Wired in 1996.
“… there’s a sub-constraint that goes by the unwieldly name of ‘Hypermedia as the engine of application state’, which is arguably the most important constraint of REST in the sense that it alone provides the bulk of the ‘shape’ of RESTful systems …”
Kragen throws some useful criticism at Digg/Reddit: “If you fill your head with ‘merely a collection of trivia, all of it narrow, shallow, and sensational’, it won’t stay there; it'll trickle right out again.”
Holy crap, this is insane. Just let people run IE6 and IE7 as separate standalone browsers side-by-side with IE8. As James said in my previous post, they can even rebrand it as “Intranet Explorer” :)
“… even if you have a single server, a proxy in front can help performance significantly. Through the simple expedient of buffering, your heavyweight processes don’t waste time serving every request for the entire length of time the client is connected”
Simon Willison’s latest project makes it easy for people developing in Django to hook up and get laid (since they have so much free-time due to developing in Django).
Whoa. I apparently haven’t spent nearly enough time looking into IBM’s Project Zero. It seems to come down to REST + (Groovy|PHP) and sneaking practical technologies in the front door with a “SOA” label on it. Interesting strategy.
“… anybody who’s ever built out a relatively complex design using ems will agree that at some point they wondered if the benefit was really worth the effort.”
Ka-pow!
Steve does the Sun/MySQL aquisition Q&A and speculates on some interesting effects of the deal: “… YouTube sold for $1.6 billion, and consumed virtually no software. If that acquisition was to take place today, they would have been buying from Sun.”
Dare weighs in on the usefulness of description languages in REST-based design and seems to conclude that Uniform Interface != Description Language and that simple discovery ( style) is the appropriate comparison.
Steve Vinoski compares IDL as used w/ CORBA/DCOM with WSDL as used by WS-*. It’s interesting that IDL served as more than just a description for machines. Humans used IDL as spec text and built services accordingly, just like REST :)
“I have spent many years working on the FreeBSD kernel, and only rarely did I venture into userland programming, but when I had occation to do so, I invariably found that people programmed like it was still 1975.”
Bob Ippolito wrote up some pros and cons to reverse proxy implementations in different servers a few months back. I don’t think much of it is out of date at this point but nginx isn’t represented.
I wonder why newsgator would make this free. Seems like there was a pretty decent slate of paying users. Losing ground to Google Reader? Eventual ad placement? Just wanted to be nice? Weird.
This is a good idea. The w3c hosted validators tend to perform on the bad side of horrible. I've run the validator locally but never thought to look for mirrors.
Like khtml2png but using the gtkmozembed Ruby extension library (which I haven’t been able to build yet).
I had assumed that was already happening today. I really have to dig into the mozilla codebase someday… Seems like it would be worth it to get a better feel for browser internals – even if you weren’t planning hacking on the browser.
Stefan Tilkov’s latest InfoQ article covers all the key concepts…
I would use this ASAP if not for the privacy requirements around the data I'm charting. There’s really no good general purpose graphing libraries that use nice and simple vector shapes and styles.
This trumps Leopard for most important Mac development this year as far as I'm concerned. Words cannot explain the hatred I've developed for booting up multiple Parallels VMs to get at IE.
“Installation is left as an exercise for the reader.”
“Ousted ActionWebService from Rails 2.0 ” :)
Dare talks about his transition from WS-* to REST proponent. This mirrors a lot of people’s experience, including my own.
something to dig into during a 1 hour conference call or whatever …
“We (the RESTafarians) are not stubborn zealots. We’re just right. Sorry :–)”
“Whereas everyone else is traipsing around picking dazzling fonts to describe their world, your nerd has carefully selected a monospace typeface, which he avidly uses to manipulate the world deftly via a command line interface …”
That was quick. IMO, the Mac needs this application more than other platform’s (including Windows) because of its document oriented application switching.
Beautifully executed.
“The Fair Use Principles for User Generated Content offer a set of guidelines that video sites should use in order to ensure that their attempts to keep infringing video offline don’t run roughshod over users' rights to fair use of the content.”
“… if all you can think of is reasons why the web is stupid and awkward, and you think it’s some giant step backward (from what?), then you haven’t thought very deeply about what’s happened in the world of technology and why.”
Mozilla Labs finally puts some lipstick on WebRunner. This is extremely important to me.
Starting with absolutely no configuration file. This is why I've prefered lighttpd, because I can put together a separate config in about five minutes. httpd’s sprawling default config has always scared the crap out of me.
Now this is an interesting theory on John Gabriel’s GIFWT.
This is a scary description of a small chunk of my tech career: “In a previous life, I helped develop ESBs. I’ve written about them and I’ve promoted them. But somewhere along the way, I lost the religion.”
NoSquint remembers your text zoom level per site, so you will only need to adjust text size once for each site that uses text that is too small for your eyes.
This'll be a fun ride.
“There is an important tradeoff between the computational power of a language and the ability to determine what a program in that language is doing.”
“… Rails has picked a side in the SOAP vs REST debate. Unless you absolutely have to use SOAP for integration purposes, we strongly discourage you from doing so. As a naturally extension of that, we’ve pulled ActionWebService from the default bundle.”
Linux, Apache, PHP, and memcached are the big winners. Nice to lighttpd represent.
An extremely effective method of explaining the important of “net nuetrality”.
Stefan Tilkov with a poster-size illustration of HTTP client errors (4xx series only).
“But at every step, it seemed our needs clashed with Rails’ preferences. (Like trying to turn a train into a boat. It’s do-able with a lot of glue. But it’s damn hard. And certainly makes you ask why you’re really doing this.)”
“… CSS 3 is a joke. A sad, sick joke being perpetrated by people who clearly don’t build actual web apps…”
Comprehensive look at common Rails security concerns with links out to in-depth articles.
Slides from the presentation Roy will be giving in about an hour at RailsConf Europe.
How long has this been floating around? Roy Fielding on building the web… (via Aristotle Pagaltzis on rest-discuss)
Aww man, Joe’s real project list looks like my wish-i-was-hacking-on list.
Aaron is at it again. This looks like the perfect web based notepad.
Do not try to measure APIs vs site traffic… that’s impossible. Instead, only try to realize the truth… There is no APIs.
“And the more I’ve been thinking about that argument, the more I realize that it’s exactly how Microsoft spun the proprietary, non-standard HTML features in IE 4.”
RESOLVED FIXED
This just ruined my day. I'm going home. Absolutely horrible. Just horrible.
“… on Java, too many web frameworks – think JSF, or Struts 1.x – consider the Web something you work around using software patterns. The goal is get off the web, and back into middleware…”
You had me at “SSH”.
Oh wow. I've been trying to find a single page that has every unicode character on it with its hex counterpart but this is pretty fantastic.
Ugghh, this is 7 days old now and I still haven’t had a chance to listen… It’s the best interview ever when I imagine it in my head :)
I saw this same note on rest-discuss the other day and thought it struck a chord. :) Jon Hanna on SOAP, Web 2.0, other stuff…
A site for sore eyes :)
Section by section interpretation and notes on Fielding’s Disseration on REST.
“Sigh. I used to have the strength to argue against such foolishness. Nowadays I’m reduced to nothing more than Grey’s-Anatomy-esque catchphrases. Seriously? Seriously? Do I really have to explain why this is a bad idea?”
“Results 1 – 10 of about 283,000 for 09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0” – This is officially the craziest thing I've ever seen on the internet (with the exception of the Hasselhoffian Recursion).
“How I explained REST to my wife” in French!
I no longer think applet support should be dropped from all major browsers. I've got links for anyone who produces a Jython version.
On JSF: “Waiting 5 years before you adopt the native architecture of the web is almost inexcusable. The web won’t (and didn’t) wait that long.”
Looks like things are starting to heat up over here.
Yes! I've been doing this for a few months now with the corp. assets and I won’t go back. You can really see the text snap into a vertical rhythm when you hit it.
Browser-side JavaScript template engine with concepts borrowed from Kid. Used by Freebase to drive formatting around JSON. Looks interesting.
I'm surprised to see that any of the news sites linked to the original report.
Elliotte isn’t pulling any punches :)
Anyone who doesn’t know every single one of these probably hasn’t been developing for the web very long. Probably a useful crash course for newbies making their way over from FrontPage or ASP.net though.
Nugget of wisdom: “… developing for the web is frequently about accepting small compromises to big philosophical ideals.”

Very nice list of CSS techniques.
Put in a subversion URL and get back an RSS feed for tracking changes.
Boo – links are made to be followed.
I've been meaning to spend some time in Restlet for some time now. Looks like it’s gaining traction with the EE crowd. Err, well, uhh, some of the EE crowd, anyway.
This is another thing that’s been driving me crazy for a while now. I'm going to try the bonjour technique mentioned in the comments.
Grrrrr. This has been driving me crazy for almost two weeks. I don’t understand why the main google search doesn’t include google groups – I thought the whole point was to put everything behind a single search box. Bha.
Well done.
OpenID solves the identity problem, not the trust problem. When a user authenticates with OpenID, what they are doing is stating “I have the ability to prove my ownership of this URL”.

“Each resource demarcates a subset of an application’s state, and becomes a handle by which other applications can interact with that state.”
This looks promising: handles all of Markdown proper plus various extensions.
Simon rebuilds his weblog with Django.
Handsome Flash based color mixing tool and color theme sharing site.
Nice bit of history showing the chain of events that led to WS-*.
Holy… This is big. Huge big.
I guess this could be good thing. Good people have a tendency of being taken advantage of in ways they wouldn’t expect at MS though so I have to give the whole deal a respectful thumbs-down.
A perfect article.
Extremely clear and right take on REST, WS, and other techniques for distributing systems.
I'm sure I don’t know.
I take back everything bad I've ever said about Java Applets ;)
Aristotle just destroys that recent reg article that suggests we need to shit-can 20 years of engineering masterpiece for distributed objects. Nice piece!
Go RedMonk. This is a major pick-up, IMO.
Wonderfully done.
Somebody should create a feed that posts a single random entry per day from the Atom Wiki.
Outstanding piece. Adrian ought to write more often. Microformats.org could really use someone with Adrian’s background to squash some of the “why?” type questions.
This site is really starting to come along now. The latest addition on how to manage vertical spacing in intervals is something I've been wondering about for a while now.
I have no idea how I missed this. Great Yegge piece from October 2004.

“Jim Gray reminded me that TerraServer does offer SOAP interfaces. And yet those interfaces demonstrably have not inspired a flurry of innovation. Why not?”
