LA Times: "System for identifying problematic deputies works well, report says"
http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-sheriff-misconduct9-2009sep09,0,1085543.story
Interesting article if you're working on reputation algorithms for your community. Makes me think of the eBay FAIL because the way they have (or had, I don't use eBay anymore) their system setup, which meant that if you left a legitimate negative rating you invited a retaliatory negative rating. Thus, "everybody" gave each other positive ratings. Thus, the ratings are worth less.

Show HN: Explore random selections of books with Wikipedia pages
https://locserendipity.com/Books.html
This is an update of a prior randomizer, which I previously did not realize only contained around 200 entries. By extracting the dump of all titles of English entries in Wikipedia containing "(books)" here (http://dumps.wikimedia.org/enwiki/latest/enwiki-latest-all-t...), I developed a randomizer that contains all books currently accompanied by articles. This is one way to find noteworthy books to read.

HTML5 not all it is claimed to be?
http://www.hurlingdesign.com/index.php/k2-category/item/36-study-html5-cannot-deliver-3d-interactive-apps-across-browsers
Quoting the site:

"The day is March 3rd, 2012. HTML5 is touted as the newest, boldest, and highest achievement in interactivity, blessed for its ability to be cross-browser.

Despite all media sugar coating, we have found that interactivity programming is reduced to almost 1998 levels of interaction when trying to be compliant across all platforms with Javascript/HTML 5/ or open standards."

What does everyone think about this? Has this been your experience?

pyreqauth - Python web auth decorator
https://github.com/anthonywu/pyreqauth/blob/master/reqauth.py
Ever get sick of this pattern in your web app?

if <user exists>:
.. do something with user
else:
.. show error message or redirect user to login

over and over and over again in your routing handlers?

With a Bottle.py example: what if you could just tag your handler with a decorator like this:

@bottle.get('/magic/resource/<resource_id>')
@require_user # <-- this is the awesome magic
def user_account(user, resource_id): # <-- the 'user' arg is provided by the decorator
....# notice the user object is automagically available
....return "Hi %s - welcome to resource %s" % (user["name"], resource

Similar to tornado's web.authenticated decorator, but my version has some advantages:

1) framework agnostic
2) the decorator takes arguments to allow for customization
3) you can adapt my pattern to make your own "require resource" helper - (heck I can change my project to simply help with "require resource", but I hate generalizing code so much no one knows what to do with it anymore)

HTML5 Got Pushed to 2014 and I Don't Care
http://databoost.org/2011/02/27/html5-got-pushed-to-2014-and-i-dont-care/
Recently the W3C stated that after several more years of rigorous testing the final HTML5 spec will be ratified in 2014. This sounds nice but truthfully you need to be building and deploying your web apps in HTML5 now, because it is already here. The last major browser to gain HTML5 support(Internet Explorer 9) is in release-candidate and will be released to the public this sprint(likely at the MIX conference). With big players like Google, Apple and Microsoft behind HTML5 today you can bet the world will adopt HTML5 as the standard long before the W3C finalizes it. Even Microsoft has taken its foot off the gas pedal with their cross-platform runtime Silverlight in favor of HTML5 as the de facto standard for web app development going forward.

Think it can’t happen? 802.11 N Wi-Fi was supported in thousands of devices in 2007 a full two years before the spec was finalized(October 2009). The truth is technology is moving faster than these consortiums can handle. Non-profit approval groups meant to standardize technologies are often the bottleneck to their advancement. As a result, either the company gets left behind or the community advances the technology beyond their control. A good example is how .Net has run over Java in the feature race.

In interviews Mark Zuckerberg often talks about in the early 2000’s choosing a platform for a new product was easy, you write for the web. Over the years with the rise of the iPhone/iPads, Androids and Blackberries this decision has become many times more complicated as each device platform comes with its own set of standards and API’s. This leaves us with picking one platform and missing out on potential users or hiring many developers and launching many simultaneous products.

What HTML5 brings to the table is the feature richness to solve this problem. Offline support, local storage, built in multimedia support for rich internet applications(RIA) all supported by all platforms. Build once, deploy to all. Even typing this sounds a bit like a dream but its here now and will be on all platforms in a matter of weeks(When IE9 releases to public).

Show HN: Pier – New VM Platform and Programming Language
https://www.pierlang.dev
Hey folks,

This is a large hobby project I've been working on to create a new VM platform called Pier. The platform spec is currently private but the code for the compiler and VM is published on my GitHub. Most of my effort over the years has gone towards designing the Pier bytecode and working on the VM, so the language is rather limited right now.

Many features that would typically require you to choose specific APIs like GL/Vulkan/D3D are defined as custom APIs provided natively by Pier bytecode - the platform effectively provides an abstraction layer that allows the VM to be implemented on top of various different APIs. I took this further by defining a custom shader bytecode IR format, which gets translated to a shading language (like GLSL) by the VM. Currently Pier is limited to Linux, but I intend to port the VM to Windows soon which should be a trivial task.

Let me know what you think!
Comparison of the Anti-Spoofing Techniques
http://blog.protogenist.com/?p=791
We need anti-spoofing techniques in order to be able to recognize TEAs(Trustworthy Email Addresses), which becomes trustworthy thanks to the use of a TSF(trust/risk based security framework). Obviously, ourtechniques differ regarding their security strength or level of confidence in recognition. However, there is no exact way to say that one technique is weaker than another one. For example, it is not straight forward to choose which of the following offers the higher level of confidence: a valid signature with a very short asymmetric key, which has been used for years, or the ability to show that the sender is able to receive emails sent to a specific email address
