Caja Goes Live on Yahoo!
"Yahoo! yesterday launched their new development platform for My Yahoo! and Yahoo! Mail, which uses Caja to protect users from malicious gadgets. This means Caja suddenly got 275,000,000 users. Wow! I guess this makes Caja the most widely used capability language ever.
But what I’m most excited about is that there’s virtually no mention of Caja at all. Why? Because Caja gives you security without getting in your way - the fact that end users don’t need to know about it all - and even developers hardly have to care - is a great success for Caja."
All you need is <!doctype html> - David’s Web Development Blog
"Based on my own tests and thanks to BrowserShots, I was able to see that all of the A-grade browsers are forced into Standards mode. That means IE 6.0 and 7.0, Firefox 2.x and 3.x, Opera 9.5x, and Safari 3.1x. That’s the majority of web browsers right there."
Aegisub: If programming languages were religions...
"Lisp would be Zen Buddhism - There is no syntax, there is no centralization of dogma, there are no deities to worship. The entire universe is there at your reach - if only you are enlightened enough to grasp it. Some say that it's not a language at all; others say that it's the only language that makes sense."
eightface.com — flickrRSS for WordPress
"This plugin for WordPress allows you to display Flickr photos on your weblog. It supports user, set, favorite, group and community photostreams, and is relatively easy to setup and configure via a settings panel. The plugin also has cache support, allowing you to save thumbnails on your own server."
The Benefits of Tolerated Uses
"A particular activity might be illegal, but in some cases those with standing to complain about it sometimes hold back on trying to stop it while they determine whether they really object. If they decide they do object, they can sue. Tim Wu calls this phenomenon “tolerated uses,”84 and copyright infringement shows how it can work."
