JSLint is an old tool in the toolbox, created by Douglas Crockford. I am sure you know about it. But, do you know how often it is updated? You may notice the “Edition 2008-08-18″ on the site, which shows that it was updated recently. After being on the jslint group, I see that there are very regular updates such as the last one that I saw: I added a onevar option. It allows only one ...

Facebook is now the largest social network in the world. But they continue to trail MySpace by a massive 36 million users in the U.S., and at current growth rates it will take them 18 years to overtake them. Most of Facebook’s growth is international, where they’ve executed on a brilliant strategy for quickly rolling out localized versions of sites by getting their users to do the translation work for them (MySpace, by contrast, expands ...

Interesting viewpoint, but it seems to ignore Facebook Pages, which offers an embedded flash player/playlist just like (see: better than) Myspace. iLike is entirely different.

For some reason “Groups” - a pretty standard feature in most social networks - seems to be giving LinkedIn more than a little bit of trouble. The site originally launched Groups without a search function, making it difficult to find groups that users were interested in. Last month, the site finally introduced a groups directory, but apparently the response has been too positive, leading LinkedIn to place restrictions on user accounts: the site has arbitrarily ...

Paper maps are a pain. They’re clunky, get torn easily, and never seem to fold back the way they’re supposed to. Sure, you can always turn to a laptop or iPhone to get a digital copy, but most transit websites are painfully slow and difficult to navigate. What’s a wandering traveler to do? Urban Mapping, a San Francisco based company founded in 2001, may have developed the next generation of maps. At least, they’ve made ...

Tom Kirkpatrick has written about a new API in Jaxer, Jaxer.Process, that allows you to call out to the host operating system. His example has a call out to get the uptime on the machine: PLAIN TEXT JAVASCRIPT: <script runat="server-proxy"> function runUptime() { // run the uptime and return the output from STDOUT return Jaxer.Process.exec("/usr/bin/uptime"); } </script> You can see the application running live.

The InnoDB storage engine has done wonders for MySQL users that needed higher concurrency than MyISAM could provide for demanding web applications. And the automatic crash recovery is a real bonus too. But InnoDB's performance (in terms of concurrency, not really raw speed) comes at a cost: disk space. The technique for achieving this, multiversion concurrency control, can chew up a lot of space. In fact, that Wikipedia article says: The obvious drawback to this ...

One of the things we love most about PostgreSQL is the ease with which one can define new aggregate functions with even a language as succinct as SQL. Normally when we have needed a median function, we've just used the built-in median function in PL/R as we briefly demonstrated in Language Architecture in PostgreSQL. If all you demand is a simple median aggregate function ever then installing the whole R statistical environment so you can ...

There are a couple of others too, such as Wei Zhou’s bookmarking concept and Aza Raskin’s mobile phone concept that we have discussed in the past. This isn’t about these concepts though.
