Anatomy of a Crushing (Pinboard Blog)
Pinboard shares a web server with the Bedbug Registry, a kind of public forum for people fighting the pests. I started the registry in 2006 (a whole other story) and it existed in quiet obscurity until the summer of 2010, when bedbugs infested some high-profile retail stores in New York City and every media outlet in the country decided to run a bedbug story at the same time.

The Ruse of the Creative Class | The American Prospect
"There was a tremendous money-generating aspect to Richard's work," Frantz says. "We did it in a grand way. We traveled in style. We stayed in boutique hotels in most of the places we were working." But it is wrong, he says, to see any conflict in Florida's dire pronouncements on the places that bankrolled this success, because he hadn't promised prosperity in the first place. "He wasn't really making prescriptions," Frantz says. "This wasn't Jesus Christ throwing the money men out of the temple; this was an academic. He was a fucking college professor, and you're hoping to resurrect Canton, Ohio? Yeah, good luck with that."

BLDGBLOG: In the winter of light
How amazing it would be to find that architectural styles begin to change – moving away from the Clement Greenberg-like flatness of international modernism toward a new era of ornamentally active deep surfaces – if something as simple as when photographs are taken were to change.
All the works of Frank Gehry, photographed in the anemic, angular light of midwinter. I sense a book idea here, if any enterprising photographers might be reading this...

programming: like pulling teeth (tecznotes)
Henry Ford's "faster horse" line comes to mind, as does perpetual beta wunderkind Flickr: starting with something that works enough to elicit use and reaction trumps big, up-front design when your changes are low cost. There are contexts where change is high-cost: skyscrapers, movies, mass-produced objects. Software, especially the astounding percentage of the world's software that's written by companies for their own internal use, is not one of them.

The Future of Libraries as Places | The Institute For The Future
So libraries are more popular than ever. Another unanticipated outcome of the end of cyberspace. But what's most interesting is just how different the activities of these 21st century undergrads are from what I used to do in libraries during the 1990s. Whereas most of my peers looked to libraries as a place of solace and quiet focus, for these students they are intensely collaborative spaces.

The powers-that-be seem to be responding to this on some level. A few years ago, NYU invested a significant amount of money in revamping the two lower sub-surface levels of the library. These spaces are buzzing around the clock, bringing together the three catalysts of creative, collaborative knowledge work - snacks and coffee, computers and networks, and deeply motivated men and women.

Technology Review: Parallel Universe
But here's the thing: while the hardware problem of overheating chips lends itself nicely to the hardware solution of multicore computing, that solution gives rise in turn to a tricky software problem. How do you program for multiple processors? It's Anwar Ghuloum's job to figure that out, with the help of programming groups he manages in the United States and China.

isen.blog: The meanings of Network Neutrality
When I sat down to write this, I had hoped for a simple, straightforward mapping between Ed's taxonomy and mine. Unfortunately, no. All three of Ed's points -- about engineering, economics and free speech -- bear in different degrees on all six of my issues. But there's one big plausible fourth point -- about organizational culture -- that's arguably missing. The telephone companies and cable companies are institutions that see themselves as providers of applications, and much of the NN discussion is about adopting the network architecture to this central cultural perception. Put in pro-neutrality language like Ed's other three, it'd be something like Layered Functionality.

Beyond Programmable Shading
Fundamentals gives an introduction to parallel programming architectures and environments for interactive graphics and In Action explores case studies of combining traditional rendering API usage with advanced parallel computation from game developers, researchers, and graphics hardware vendors. There are strong indications that the future of interactive graphics involves a programming model more flexible than today's OpenGL/Direct3D pipelines. As such, graphics developers need to have a basic understanding of how to combine emerging parallel programming techniques with the traditional interactive rendering pipeline. This course gives an introduction to several parallel graphics architectures and programming environments, and introduces the new types of graphics algorithms that will be possible.

Ethan Zuckerman on how to engineer serendipity online | csmonitor.com
two related problems here. serendipity takes a lot of time, and it doesn't have a neat precise ROI. some systems manage to inject enough ambient random interestingness - e.g. facebook, twitter, delicious - where you view a stream of things that are related to people you know, but not necessarily things you were searching for. alas, only non-serindipitous search has been precisely monetized.

James Governor’s Monkchips » Asymmetrical Follow: A Core Web 2.0 Pattern
But Twitter wasn’t designed for whales. It was designed for small shoals of fish. Which brings us to one of the big issues with Asymmetrical Follow - it introduces unexpected scaling problems. Twitter’s architecture didn’t cope all that well at first, but has performed a lot better since the message broker was re-architected using Scala LIFT, a new web application programming framework). The technical approach that is most appropriate to support Asymmetrical Follow is well known in the world of high scale enterprise messaging- its called Publish And Subscribe.

The Sir John Soane's Museum Web Page
Welcome to the web page of the house and Museum of Sir John Soane, R.A., architect.

Soane was born in 1753, the son of a bricklayer, and died after a long and distinguished career, in 1837.

Soane designed this house to live in, but also as a setting for his antiquities and his works of art. After the death of his wife (1815), he lived here alone, constantly adding to and rearranging his collections. Having been deeply disappointed by the conduct of his two sons, one of whom survived him, he determined to establish the house as a museum to which 'amateurs and students' should have access.

Learning to cope with fragmentation « Glider Gun
Having been troubled by many of the issues discussed above in the past, we decided to turn this approach on its head with the new version of Trutap. We judiciously apply some carefully chosen prior knowledge of the features common to the devices we’re targeting and let the handsets tell us the rest when we run the application. We can reliably tell on the fly what a device’s screen size is, and whether it supports features such as camera, phonebook or Bluetooth. This way, all devices run essentially the same version of the application.

Perspectives - Jeff Dean on Google Infrastructure
Google does use lower quality hardware at a MUCH lower cost so, yes, they will see more hardware related failures. The two points that I find interesting are 1) hardware failures contribute the minority of outages -- software and administration are much bigger culprits, and 2) even VERY good hardware isn't good enough to avoid having to implement redundancy in software to mask failures. Once you have the reduncancy in software and can withstand hardware failures, why spend more to get good hardware?

Welcome! | Netomata
Netomata makes networks more reliable and flexible by automating network configuration.

We build tools that generate complete configurations for the various devices that make up a network, starting from a simple, light-weight model of the network. Generating configurations in this manner provides a number of critical benefits by ensuring consistency, eliminating human errors, and easing both network expansion (increase in size) and evolution (increase in scope and capabilities).

The curator of VISUALIZAR, José Luis de Vincente opened the seminar with an expansive overview of urban informatics: "Urban space is dynamic information... We've seen this in Calvino, the SI, Georges Perec - the secret lives of people and invisible cities"

Key questions: What is the role of networks and data structures in the city today? How can we use them to alter our perception of the city?

Key points: Visualization is a narrative medium. The crowd is a social and cultural object. Visualization can be realized as soft architecture.

Amazon Web Services Blog: Cloudbursting - Hybrid Application Hosting
Earlier this week my colleague Deepak Singh pointed me to a blog post written by Thomas Brox Røst. In the post, Thomas talks about how he combined traditional hosting with an EC2-powered, batch mode page regeneration system. His site (Eventseer) contains over 600,000 highly interconnected pages. As traffic and content grew, serving up the pages dynamically became prohibitively expensive. Renerating all of the pages on a single server would have taken an unacceptably long 7 days, and even longer as the site became more complex. Instead, Thomas used a cloudbursting model, regenerating the pages on an array of 25 Amazon EC2 instances in just 5 hours (or, as he notes, "roughly the cost of a pint of beer in Norway."). There's some more information about his approach on the High Scalability blog. Thomas has also written about running Django on EC2 using EBS.

Will Wilkinson / The Fly Bottle » Blog Archive » Choice Architecture and Paternalism
The tone in Nudge is chummy and agreeable and sunnily ameliorist. Which makes you feel a bit like an axe-grinding killjoy bent on hair-splitting “semantics” when you insist on pointing out that they spend the entire book more or less inverting the normal meaning of certain politically-loaded words. But I really do insist on pointing it out, because these brilliant guys are native English speakers and they’ve got to know that the meanings of words matters. So you’re left wondering why they are so determined to play dumb about their own language.
