Please don't go the Daily Mail for anything more than an idea of what small minded scared bigots we English sometimes can be.

I'm not a lawyer so I couldn't say. But apparently that's how it works when it comes to fonts.

I meant it when I thanked you for the comment. It was a fascinating insight into how these tests actually come about. Thanks for writing it!

But that's the thing, they don't identify bad teachers. And they do penalize good teachers. Being taught to pass these tests is not the same as being educated. All the tests do is identify teachers who don't put the majority of their teachi

Please don't be so defeatist. The US education system is horribly broken. Maybe the chances of it ever being fixed are low but I hope people continue to try.

Thanks for your fascinating comment. Unfortunately, all the excuses in the world don't change the fact that these tests hurt education and hurt children. The production of these things is a shameful act. I thought the tests we had in the UK

You can trace the outlines and produce an exact or almost exact copy, and that's what Ariel actually is.

Imagine if you could scale up and down the amount of computing capacity you were paying for on a second by second (or even ms by ms) basis! That would be pretty cool :)

Pretty cool, but I'd love it if it would show all the projects I've contributed to along with how much I've contributed. The list of projects on my account isn't a good way to see what I've done, loads of it is stuff I've just forked and no

What's especially nice is Websockets have their own url type (ws://) you can just include a link to the Websocket's endpoint for the resource for the API client to follow. Reductions in the amount of custom stuff that has to be done is alwa

I think little upgrades happen all the time. And sometimes you need a way to handle those.

It depends what you want to share though. Are you sharing the location of a resource or are you sharing a specific version of that resource? If I'm viewing some resource in some client that supports version X and I send it to you and you vi

Some answers, may be wrong but this is how it makes sense to me: 1. Possibly both (the one in the URL being the version of the URL-space and the one in the Header being the more fine grained Representation Version). 2. It depends. For simpl

You are a little. In a properly RESTful API you simply don't construct URLs most of the time. Instead you follow links. If you change the URL structure you break the links. If that's what you want then a version number in the URL makes sens

Full content. I have a layer over Backbone.JS on the client side that provides an identity map for models (all of which are identified by uri). When a representation is recieved it grabs the relevant model and updates it which makes any vie

Apples vs. Oranges: discuss! (I'm quite happy with my RESTful API that allows subscription to resources via Websockets. This works very nicely when your resource representations include their own href)

But how do you deal with the partial upgrade scenario? I might want to use a few of the new features in my client code but not have the time to upgrade (and test!) everything just yet. Of course version numbers in URLs can have their place

by almost 15y ago
There's nothing wrong with doing that. A resource can have multiple URLs and multiple representations. That's fine, in the right circumstances.

I think different approaches are suitable for different situations. Quite often I think different translations of the same thing should be treated as different (but related) resources.

by almost 15y ago
With a RESTful API you don't tend to need IDs most of the time, you just use URLs. So having all the versioning info in the URL is not so great, you change the version and suddenly all the URLs aren't valid anymore. But more important that

It does matter. The more you build on predictable standards in one place the simpler things get in others.

On the subject of the Turing test Turing's actual originally paper is well worth a read: http://cogprints.org/499/1/turing.html It's extremely readable and you may be surprised at how often people entirely miss the point when discussing i

I'm currently going in sort of the other direction. I'm usinge evil-mode which is VIM implemented in Emacs. Emacs does have many of the powerful features of VIM but what it lacks are composable commands. So what in Emacs would take NxM sepa

I wish I'd seen you comment before I bought it. I couldn't get it to work with any of my windows. It even has problems with it's own tutorial Window! I'm actually considering trying to get my money back, it's that bad. It's not quite the sa

The system they have now is the #! hack, the crawlers know how to request static versions of the pages. There isn't a similar mechanism for pushState based designs, you just serve up the content pre-rendered for the initial page. So that's

I think Crowdflower ( http://crowdflower.com/ ) would be useful in this situation. I've used them before because I'm UK based and MTurk wouldn't let me create HITS (not sure if that's still true?) but they also add some stuff to MTurk like

Looks cool. How about letting us enter a user and show all the repositories they have committed to along with how much they've committed.

It would be good to be clearer about licenses. It just says "Single Site" right now but it would be good to have a page that clarifies exactly what you mean just in case my idea of what that means differs from yours. Will exclusive and mul
