Deconstructing Recommender Systems

HTML5 vs. Apps: Why The Debate Matters, And Who Will Win
HTML5 is a new technology that allows developers to build rich web-based apps that run on any device via a standard web browser. Many think it will save the web, rendering native platform-dependent apps obsolete.
Data Says R Amongst Most Popular Languages
Data Scientist Drew Conway tackles the problem of deciding which programming languages are the most popular in an interesting way: by comparing the number of projects tagged in GitHub with each language, and the number of questions in StackOverflow about the language. The former is a measure of how often a language is used (though, mainly for open source projects); the latter is a measure of how many programmers are asking questions about it. Drew uses these measures and a k-means clustering technique to categorize langauges as follows:
Google, Microsoft, Facebook and Others Launch Web Platform Docs, A Web Standards Documentation Site
A number of leading browser vendors and other tech companies, including Microsoft , Google , Apple, Adobe , Facebook, HP, Nokia, Mozilla, Opera and the W3C , just announced the launch of the Web Platform Docs project at WebPlatform.org .

W.T.F.M: Write The Freaking Manual I will take this moment to reflect on what has been an epic exercise in utter frustration: Sifting through poorly written documentation or tutorials for an otherwise excellent programming language, framework, project, etc.

Introduction to Architecting Systems for Scale
If you ever want to screw over a library, just walk up to any shelf, pick up any book, and put it on another shelf where it doesn’t belong.
Sorting and searching at the library
Amazon Web Services (AWS) added support today for a browser specification that defines ways for apps to allow resources to be accessed by web pages from different domains. The practice is called Cross Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) and has been requested by AWS users for the past few years. The new service represents another way that AWS automates tasks that developers once had to do themselves.
Amazon Web Services Adds Long Requested Web Browser Specification
Web Real-Time Communication (WebRTC) is a new HTML5 standard framework that enables the sharing of video, audio, and data directly between web browsers.
WebRTC is almost here, and it will change the web
> Unfortunately, most interesting graph analytic problems do not fit into that model because the "graph-like" aspect is still limited to problem sizes that fit conventional algorithms. "interesting" != "useful"

Lecturing is an excellent way to inspire a group of individuals and create a foundation on which to collaborate. In this day and age, the slide deck catches the attention more than the written article.
