Slow Connection
So you have your Next-gen cool Web 2.0 application ready! You have tested it on your LAN environment and on your high speed internet connection – all seems ok and you are ready to deploy it in the ‘real world’. A few hours later, you get feedback that your application does not perform well on slower connections. Well the truth is that real world internet connections are much slower than you think. Now there are many tools that let you simulate slow network connections. Firefox Throttle is an extension that allows you to control download/upload rates and monitor current bandwidth utilization. The plug-in shows the current bandwidth utilization indicators in its Status panel as shown below and lets you quickly turn on/off throttling.

More Transit Agencies Opening Up Their Data
We’ve been following the trend of transit agencies providing developer access to timetables, routes and more for some time. Big cities, like New York and Boston are on board and helping fuel new transit applications. There now seems to be more momentum, with organizations and influencers making the call for open data. StreetFilms talked to some of these people, several within transit companies themselves, and created A Case for Open Data (embedded below). One particular case study shows just how fast developers started in on projects when Boston made its data available. “If you take the model of the national weather service and apply it to the transit agencies you realize you can have just as many ways to get transit information as you do to get weather information. When we profiled the developer who is trying to open transit data earlier this year, City-Go-Round showed 91 agencies with public data. But it’s a good sign when big metros get behind open transit data. via Jehiah
ProgammableWeb (Alcatel-Lucent)
ProgrammableWeb has seen many notable milestones since our inception five years ago. We were excited when the repository of APIs grew to 100 entries (now over 2000), when the count of mashups hit 500 (now nearly 5000), and seeing the myriad of ways open APIs have become such a phenomenon. And now today we are excited to say that ProgrammableWeb itself is entering a new phase of growth with the announcement of our acquisition by Alcatel-Lucent. This milestone is a great opportunity for ProgrammableWeb and our community to work with a global organization who gets what open APIs are about, who value the independence of ProgrammableWeb, and who want to grow the open API ecosystem both in the world of telecommunications and beyond. In the end this step will bring PW to a whole new level in terms of fulfilling our mission to be the go-to place for open API developers. What does this mean for the future of ProgrammableWeb? Both comments and pings are currently closed.
How the New York Times Uses APIs
A couple of recent posts give great insight into how the New York Times uses APIs to enhance its news coverage. It uses its own APIs, both internal and open, to create responsive applications that can explain sports, politics and more. Times database editor Derek Willis provides an overview of how APIs help the newsroom on his personal blog. Willis provides glimpses behind the development of the Kagan vote tracker and House healthcare vote. Both make use of the Times Congress API (our New York Times Congress API). Willis goes on to explain how creating APIs becomes useful in the newsroom: For newsrooms, the utility of APIs goes beyond creating Web apps. The Times “Open” blog has a tech-heavy explanation of the World Cup tracker, a look behind the scenes of the site’s live game coverage.

Introduction (car il en faut des fois) Comme ma timecapsule a lâchement cramé récemment à cause de la chaleur, en fait ça fait la seconde fois que l'alim crame, celle que j'avais mise marchais mais n'as pas supportée les 35°C dans l'appart donc.... je récupère le disque de 1To que j'avais mis dans la timecapsule et je vais l'utiliser pour autre chose (et après analyse post mortem, c'est pas l'alim qui a cramé, mais .. la carte mère de la timecapsule.... il me reste donc le disk de 1To, déjà changé, et la carte wifi nimo.... qui peux marcher sur OpenWRT en passant, a condition d'être zen aussi !). Donc un filer c'est quoi ? de l'espace disquede la sécurité (bon on peux faire sans sécu aussi)de la performance Dans mon cas j'ai besoin aussi des protocoles suivants : NFSAFP (Apple)DAAP (iTunes pour mes zolis MP3 de mes CD)Bonjour aka MDNS J'aimerais aussi éviter d'avoir 3000 fois la même donnée sur les disques alors on vas utiliser le ZFS dedup. Open Solaris ou encore merci Oracle Le hardware . <?
Perfection kills » How ECMAScript 5 still does not allow to subclass an array
Subclassing an array in Javascript has never been a trivial task. At least for a certain meaning of “subclassing an array”. Curiously, new edition of the language — ECMAScript 5 — still does not allow to fully subclass an array. Not everything is lost though, and there are few ways ECMAScript 5 makes this task closer to the ideal. Let’s talk about that. Today we’ll take a look at what it means to subclass an array, what some of the existing implementations/workarounds are, and which drawbacks those implementations have; We’ll see what ECMAScript 5 brings to the table, and what those fundamental issues with subclassing are. But first, what does it mean to subclass an array? Why subclass an array? We can define "subclassing an array" as the process of creating an object which inherits from native Array object (has Array.prototype in its prototype chain), and follows behavior similar (or identical) to native array. In other words, we want behavior similar to this: 1. 2. Naive approach§
