Siti famosi per lettori curiosi: Slashdot
2009-02-08 07:24:00 Slashdot (dai nomi inglesi dei caratteri barra e punto, in breve "/.") è il nome di un noto sito web informativo su argomenti di carattere tecnologico, creato nel settembre 1997 da Rob Malda e organizzato secondo un modello simile a un weblog (sia pure con filoni logici di discussione). Il termine è usato anche per indicare altri siti nati in epoche successive e in altre lingue, basati sullo stesso concetto. Lo slogan originale di Slashdot «News for nerds. Stuff that matters.» indica che il sito è dedicato principalmente ai nerd e alle notizie ritenute importanti per appassionati di tecnologia. Le segnalazioni pubblicate sono state spesso oggetto di critica in quanto imprecise o mal scritte e ritenute da molti intenzionalmente faziose, diffamatorie e talvolta mirate a scatenare flamewar. Gli stessi detrattori accusano il sito di ignorare notizie o commenti ritenuti più seri o importanti all'esterno della specifica sottocultura costituita dai partecipanti più assidui. Secondo la ver...

DIGG vs. SlashDot
2008-01-30 20:02:00 This is an interesting article at the NYT about SlashDot's new site "idle" set to compete against DIGG. There are some interesting quotes from CmdrTaco (Slashdot's founder) about how DIGG is broken. Basically it comes down to the debate around the "Wisdom of the Crowd" vs. "The Tyranny of the Mob". I am of the opinion that DIGG is a "Tyranny of the Mob" site where a small vocal minority can drive stories. You can read through the comments in the article and see the support for that argument. I've written about this before with regards to DIGG vs StumbleUpon: Digg is broken - Virtual Schrödinger's Law. CmdrTaco echo's my opinion. An open platform that relies on the wisdom of crowds is prone to coercion by a vocal minority. This reflects our political system that is a representative republic and not a popular democracy. Is CmdrTaco an Elitist then?...

New Mediaist has been slashdotted!
2007-05-15 03:20:00 Yes, that is the smell of geek in the air - welcome slashdot brethren! I was able to survive the traffic jump even though I’m on a cheap Godaddy hosting account. The reason? Cache! The reason why many websites crash when bombarded by traffic is because most websites aren’t actually “static” - but rather are created on-the-fly from a series of records in a database. In other words, each time you visit the website, you are in fact asking the website to query a database and retrieve some information. Therefore, if too many people visit the website at once, the database receives to many queries, and everything just crashes. The solution to this problem is a caching layer: a system which detects which web pages are being regularly accessed, and creates a copy of the information requested from the database for these web pages, so the database doesn’t have to be called each time a user arrives. For word press, the software which runs this blog, caching layer ...

Extensión para evitar el 'Efecto Slashdot/Digg'
2007-01-02 17:00:02 Cuando creía que ya lo había visto todo en extensiones para Firefox, acabo de dar con una que ha conseguido sorprenderme. Su nombre es TadSee y una vez instalada añade dos nuevas opciones al menú contextual que aparece al pulsar el botón derecho del ratón con las que podemos abrir un link utilizando la caché de Google y del proyecto Coral.Resulta por tanto una opción ideal para aquellas ocasiones en las que nos encontramos con que la web a la que queremos entrar está caída, ya sea por culpa del 'efecto Slashdot/Digg' -el motivo primero de su creación- o por cualquier otra circunstancia. |
