The color of data — Visual Hint. The Art Of Reproduction by fernanda and martin The web can seem like the perfect museum, holding all the world’s art. Type “Danae Klimt” into your favorite search engine, and you conjure up a high-resolution image of Gustav Klimt’s Danaë: tan limbs, a shower of gold, red hair. Or did you find pink limbs? Or were they gray or even green? There’s the rub: the seemingly perfect museum holds dozens of Danaës—with dozens of different palettes. Even the shape changes as reproductions are subtly cropped. Curious just how far reproductions stray from each other, we began an investigation.
The discontinuities of color, texture and frame tell the story of the inaccuracies in reproduction, forming a tapestry of beautiful half-truths. For some works, we also created compositions comparing the same detail across many copies. Go to our gallery to see all the compositions. That was fast! It seems like just yesterday (or two blog posts ago) that we announced the beginning of Flowing Media. Stay tuned. Flowing Media: Your Data Has Something To Say. A Baseline for Front-End Developers. 12 Apr 2012 edit I wrote a README the other day for a project that I'm hoping other developers will look at and learn from, and as I was writing it, I realized that it was the sort of thing that might have intimidated the hell out of me a couple of years ago, what with its casual mentions of Node, npm, Homebrew, git, tests, and development and production builds.
Once upon a time, editing files, testing them locally (as best as we could, anyway), and then FTPing them to the server was the essential workflow of a front-end dev. We measured our mettle based on our ability to wrangle IE6 into submission or achieve pixel perfection across browsers. Many members of the community -- myself included -- lacked traditional programming experience. HTML, CSS, and JavaScript -- usually in the form of jQuery -- were self-taught skills. Something has changed in the last couple of years. Whatever it is, I think we're seeing the emphasis shift from valuing trivia to valuing tools.
JavaScript Testing The End. Wind Map. An invisible, ancient source of energy surrounds us—energy that powered the first explorations of the world, and that may be a key to the future. This map shows you the delicate tracery of wind flowing over the US. The wind map is a personal art project, not associated with any company. We've done our best to make this as accurate as possible, but can't make any guarantees about the correctness of the data or our software. Please do not use the map or its data to fly a plane, sail a boat, or fight wildfires :-) If the map is missing or seems slow, we recommend the latest Chrome browser. Surface wind data comes from the National Digital Forecast Database. If you're looking for a weather map, or just want more detail on the weather today, see these more traditional maps of temperature and wind.

Open source software to build private and public clouds Note that we never really had a clear name for the XAPI project. The project was initially named after XCP, which is essentially a distribution of the Hypervisor, the XAPI toolstack and various other components. Later, the project also delivered packages into Linux distributions. This has created some confusion in the community! To make this clearer, the project team proposes to name the project after the XAPI toolstack. What is the XAPI Project? The XAPI project is a sub-project (or team) of the Xen Project effort that develops the enterprise ready XAPI toolstack. The XAPI team also develops tooling, agents and libraries that are needed to operate a XAPI based system.
What is XAPI? The Xen Project Management API (XAPI) is: A Xen Project Toolstack that exposes the XAPI interface. XAPI adds additional functionality compared to other Xen Project toolstacks, including: License Getting XAPI. StackOps - Browse /0.3. OpenStack in Launchpad. Cloud Foundry Architecture -- Removing the OS Barrier with PaaS, Part 4. I broke the latest post in this series into a double featurette. Part 3.1 dug deeper into the context behind PaaS and Cloud Foundry’s open source software efforts, along with some of the questions that have been posed since Part 1.
With Part 3.14159265, I came full circle (pun intended) back to the topic, and collected the top links for putting together a Cloud Foundry environment, getting various platforms to run, and other key pieces of information. (All in one place for easy reference!) In Part 2, I jumped into a hands-on example of setting up Cloud Foundry on Ubuntu Linux, with links to great references on setting up or using the virtual machines available from Cloud Foundry.com or from Iron Foundry to get things going.
When I kicked off this series, I covered what PaaS can do for your development environment and how PaaS fits into the big picture. Now it is time for an architecture discussion. Cloud Foundry System / Core Architecture. Micro-Cloud Foundry rationalise support hors ligne et ajoute Java débogage. The Cloud Foundry team released a new version of Micro Cloud FoundryTM including streamlined offline support, Java debugging, up-to-date versions of all languages/frameworks and services as supported on CloudFoundry.com and ability to enable/disable application services.
Micro Cloud Foundry is a complete version of Cloud Foundry that runs in a virtual machine on a developer’s computer. Micro Cloud Foundry has established itself as the convenient and portable Cloud Foundry environment from which developers can easily develop and test their applications. The new version we release today (version 1.2) , immediately available for download at www.cloudfoundry.com improves upon that convenience and portability by making it very simple to configure your Micro Cloud Foundry instance to either run disconnected from or connected to the internet.
The new release of Micro Cloud Foundry has updated its included runtimes to the versions indicated in the table below. -The Cloud Foundry Team. ThemaTweets – Visualizing the French Elections Buzz on Cloud Foundry. As the platform matures, we see many cool applications being built on top of Cloud Foundry. This is the first in a series of guest blog posts by application developers explaining what their application does, how it is architected, what they like in Cloud Foundry and what needs to be improved. Guest blog post by Eric Bottard ThemaTweets2012 allows you to visualize what people say about the french elections candidates on Twitter, how these candidates relate to key themes of this 2012 event and analyze information under several angles. The Story In late 2011, Google France launched a data visualization challenge about the upcoming 2012 presidential elections. Being a dataviz oriented application, ThemaTweets allows the user to navigate between different views of the same raw data.
One can also view the evolution of these figures over time. One allows us to see how topics “belong” to a political side. Of course, users can view the evolution of topics or candidates share over time Happy End. Multi-Language, Multi-Framework, what about Multi-Cloud? Previously, developers had to put a lot of energy into preserving choice across operating systems and minimizing hard dependencies on specific operating systems.
In the cloud era, there is a similar challenge to preserve choice across clouds and minimize dependencies on specific clouds. Most PaaS solutions today force you to write your application to that specific PaaS and that is where your app will stay, much like writing to an OS. It sits on a public cloud somewhere and cannot be moved without recoding and dependency swaps. In extreme cases, you as a developer are still directly tied to the constraints of the infrastructure. Limiting yourself to a single cloud instance restricts your flexibility now and in the future. You may want to move from private to public cloud, or vice versa. You may want to change from one public cloud provider to another or maybe you are dissatisfied with the pricing or reliability from a particular provider.
Multi-Cloud using Cloud Foundry – The Demo. Node.js and Cloud Foundry. Cloud Foundry is a sponsor and participant in this week’s Node Summit in San Francisco, so it is a good time to recap some of our work with node.js. We’re finalizing node.js 0.6.7 support, which will be committed to the Cloud Foundry GitHub repository. Cloud Foundry.com will begin to support node.js 0.6.7 as a runtime framework in the next week or two. Because of the rapid pace of innovation around node, we are adding node.js 0.6.7 as an additional runtime, letting you select which version of node you want to run with your application. This lets Cloud Foundry support multiple node.js versions simultaneously, which is important as it allows applications written against the node.js 0.4.12 version to co-exist with applications developed on node.js 0.6.7.
This work represents the first fruits of our partnership with Joyent, who is the Cloud Foundry Community Lead for node.js. The next few months should be big for node.js and the community around it. . - The Cloud Foundry Team. Perspective IT.

Stratégie de distribution des solutions cloud computing : le canal indirect devient incontournable. Et si nous définissions simplement le cloud computing ! Le sens de cette expression est aujourd'hui confus pour beaucoup. Retour sur la genèse de ce service d'applications en location et ses principales propriétés. Guillaume Plouin est responsable de l'offre Cloud Computing chez OCTO Technology. La genèse du cloud computing est la suivante : trois grands acteurs du web (Google, Amazon et Salesforce) font le même constat.
Ils ont développé un "nuage informatique" de très grande envergure pour faire tourner leurs applications, et leurs datacenters disposent de ressources inutilisées. Chacun, à sa manière, va proposer à d'autres entreprises de faire tourner leurs applications sur leur "nuage informatique". La Cloudification gagne les applications les plus improbables...
