Status-Bar Custom Buttons Gapminder: Unveiling the beauty of statistics for a fact based world view. World debt comparison: The global debt clock The US ZIPScribble Map What would happen if you were to connect all the ZIP codes in the US in ascending order? Is there a system behind the assignment of ZIP codes? Are they organized in a grid? The result is surprising and much more interesting than expected. The idea for the ZIPScribble came from playing with Ben Fry’s excellent zipdecode. That little applet allows you to explore the ZIP codes interactively, and reveals some very interesting patterns. (ZIPScribble Map PDF) The patterns and density distribution are readily apparent, and can in fact be seen much better than when only the dots are drawn. (ZIPScribble Map Color PDF) Not surprisingly, some of the white lines really separate states, others don’t. (ZIPScribble Map Color with Names PDF) Adding the colors clearly adds information, but it also removes some of the mystery. Since the lines between the denser areas could still be artifacts, let’s add a backdrop to see if they really are state lines. Is this visualization? See also the interactive version!

Death and Taxes 2011. It's the government, in six square feet. cluster - Node.js v0.6.0 Manual Cluster A single instance of Node runs in a single thread. To take advantage of multi-core systems the user will sometimes want to launch a cluster of Node processes to handle the load. The cluster module allows you to easily create a network of processes all which share server ports. var cluster = require('cluster');var http = require('http');var numCPUs = require('os').cpus().length; if (cluster.isMaster) { for (var i = 0; i < numCPUs; i++) { cluster.fork(); } cluster.on('death', function(worker) { console.log('worker ' + worker.pid + ' died'); });} else { http.Server(function(req, res) { res.writeHead(200); res.end("hello world\n"); }).listen(8000);} Running node will now share port 8000 between the workers: % node server.js Worker 2438 online Worker 2437 online The difference between cluster.fork() and child_process.fork() is simply that cluster allows TCP servers to be shared between workers. cluster.fork is implemented on top of child_process.fork. cluster.fork() # cluster.isMaster #
Multi Links Freedom Ship - the City at Sea Profound Heterogeneity » About Burning the Boats/Books For the past 400 years, give or take 100, knowledge has primarly been structured by the codex form. Since the inviting of the printing press rules, customs, laws, and social practices have become organized around the idea that a book is the ideal medium for delivering content.

A brief story to explain . . . In April of 2010 I gave a talk to the Digital Writing and Research Lab at the University of Texas at Austin, titled “Burn the Boats/Books.” What Would Scholarship Look Like If It Were Not Designed to End Up in Books? Both sections are an attempt to perform both the process and product in a public way.
