[This is part of a series of posts that briefly describe the trends were currently tracking here at O'Reilly: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.] The iPhone is called the JesusPhone for a reason. Its ease of use is a revelation, and the multitouch display is part of that. Since the iPhone's release, multitouch displays have shown up in tradeshows and on CNN. The hardware is becoming cheaper and the software more ubiquitous, opening people's minds to UI possibilities beyond mice and menus. Watch list: iPhone, Jeff Han, John Underkoffler. |

[This is part of a series of posts that briefly describe the trends were currently tracking here at O'Reilly: 1, 2, 3, 4.] It has been reported that every 100ms of latency costs Amazon 1% of profit. Every company whose web site drives their business is in the same situation, they just don't know it yet. The techniques of web ops are being hoarded by some companies (e.g., Amazon) as competitive advantages yet many of the best tools are open source. This is an emerging field with huge direct bottom line value. Our Velocity Conference tackles web ops head-on. Watchlist: Jesse Robbins (second blog), Steve Souders, Varnish, memcached/Perlbal/MogileFS, Firebug, Jiffy. |
翻译:xiaochong [这是Radar系列文章的一部分,本系列会简述在O'Reilly我们正在关注的一些趋势。] 有报道称每100毫秒的延迟对于Amazon来讲就要损失1%的利润。每个Web网站驱动的公司都面临这一问题,有些公司仅仅是还没有意识到而已。一些公司(比如Amazon)正在越来越重视Web优化技术,将其作为竞争优势。很多这方面最优秀的工具都是开源工具。这一新兴领域直接关系到企业的盈亏状况。我们的Velocity会议直面Web优化领域。

[This is part of a series of posts that briefly describe the trends were currently tracking here at O'Reilly: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.] DIY culture is back, from rocket cars to simply tweaking things you already own to make them better. People want control over their devices again, whether access to the internal computer systems of their car or the ability to make a simple flashing LED toy. Physical electronics skills are important but, thanks to the low price of microcontrollers, hardware is becoming software. Watch List: Arduino, Tom Igoe, NYU ITP, Make Magazine, Maker Faire. |
翻译:xiaochong [这是Radar系列文章的一部分,本系列会简述在O'Reilly我们正在关注的一些趋势。] DIY文化又回来了,从火箭汽车到改造组合一些已有的东西都说明DIY回潮。大家希望能控制自己的设备,可以是控制自己汽车的内部计算机系统也可以仅仅是做一些简单的LED玩具。电子学技能很重要,不过拜低价微控制器所赐,硬件正在变成软件问题了。 关注列表: Limor Fried、Arduino、Tom Igoe、NYU ITP、Make Magazine、Maker Faire。 |
今天提交了一个名为freesouls的slideshow去slideshare.net网站,参加今年度的World’s Best Presentation Contest活动。
浏览地址在这里:
http://www.slideshare.net/OliverDing/freesouls
这个slideshow是改编自Joi Ito的同名书籍,资料来源于Yeeyan Wiki和Joi Ito的Flickr相册。Yeeyan的志愿者们在翻译这本书籍。在此,小容用这个slideshow向Yeeyan的志愿者们至敬!向致力于传播自由文化理念的同仁们致敬!
关于Freesouls这本书,可以下文从Yeeyan Wiki里摘录的简介:
《自由的灵魂(Freesouls)》
by 伊藤穰一(Joi Ito)
简介
这是一本特殊的书。一部将以创作共用(Creative Commons)CC-BY版权出版的影集和文集。本书是对版权束缚创造的又一个宣言;是又一次基于互联网、关于创作和分享的重要尝试。翻译,也自然成为这次尝试的重要组成部分之一。
本书作者,Creative Commons的CEO伊藤穰一(Joi Ito)先生,邀请译言译者们进行本书的翻译。欢迎您加入这一令人兴奋的项目!
关于本书更具体的来龙去脉,请参见斯坦福大学法学院教授劳伦斯•莱斯格为本书撰写的序言。
内容
本书内容由两部分组成:
1.Joi 的人物和风景摄影作品。人物包括维基百科创始人Jimmy Wales,Tim O’Reilly等行业和思想领袖。所有照片中的人物都签署了CC-BY使用这些照片的授权协议。所有作品,任何人都可以自由使用,只要保留原作署名即可。
2.技术、网络和自由文化领域的重要倡导者和思想家们的近作。这也是需要翻译的主要内容。
本书的目的,也是希望以上述两部分内容为开端,激发互联网上更广泛的内容创造与自由共享。
投票截至日期到14日,请参加投票吧:)
World’s Best Presentation Contest
另外,我也建立了一个同名的小组,特此邀请大家来一起参加这个小组的活动:
小组地址在这里:
http://www.slideshare.net/group/freesouls
大家可以每人写一张slide上传到这个小组,在这张slide上写下你对于”what is a Freesoul?”的回答,贴上你的照片,写上的你大名。小容会在收集一些slide之后,重新制作一个大众版本的freesouls slideshow。
可以使用中文、英文、日文以及任何你喜欢的语言:)
自由灵魂,你也有份!
People are asking me if Percona will support Drizzle and what is in general our position regarding this project.
First about Support. We surely will support the customers if they select to run the Drizzle instead of MySQL Server. For us it is same as supporting MySQL Server with custom patches, which we do. In general our Support Policy is very open ended - we would support wide variety of systems, and we’re just being open about our experience with such system and ability to help if need arises.
Will we Recommend Drizzle ? We recommend what makes sense to the customers. If MySQL is not the best choice for the customers we’ll be open about it. Drizzle will need to prove it stable and being better fit for certain group of customers and we will recommend it it in such cases. It is similar to storage engines - will we recommend Falcon or Maria instead of Innodb ? Sure we will, in cases then they will work better. Drizzle is in active development right now and it will take some time before it stabilizes to be ready to be used by wide groups in production.
Will we Contribute to Drizzle ? Our focus with Percona Patchset having MySQL improvements which are ready to be used in production now, which speed things up, improve operations or help analyze performance. We release all out patches as GPL and we would be happy for them to be included in Drizzle or any other MySQL Forks or Patch Sets. Whenever we will have some people actively working on Drizzle remains open question. As customers will be interested in having Drizzle work better on them we surely will do it. We’re also likely to be testing Drizzle to understand sweetspots and problems.
