File Format Wiki
File Format Wiki
The purpose of this wiki is to "Solve the File Format Problem". The File Format Problem in this context is that over the last century, many types of electronic information have been presented in formats that are non-intuitive and subject to the rapidly-shifting interests of what is newest and best. As a result, thousands of programs, documents, images and binary files are in danger of being unreadable to later generations as no readily available information about accessing them is to be found. Various projects have been launched in the last 20 years to deal with this problem, but they all lack a groundswell of directed volunteers working to once and for all get all the disparate information into one place and easily referenced by all. This is the goal of this project. The project started on November 1st, 2012. All are invited to register and contribute. The goal is to have a massive bulk of knowledge in one place for all to use and incorporate into other similar directories and sites, providing a needed resource for generations to come.

How Did I Get Here?
How Did I Get Here?
The above text dump is a traceroute. This particular one depicts your journey — or at least your packets’ journey — traversing the networks of the Internet to reach the server hosting this website. The preceeding traceroute and all future green-glowing text was generated on the fly, specially for you, during the loading of this website. I was frustrated with the state of understanding on the structure of the Internet and sought to write a comprehensive, interactive article covering its history and politics through the lens of protocols. However, I got caught up in a lot of complexity in life and, facing tight deadlines, didn't have the time to reach the lofty goals I had set for myself. Thanks to the encouragement of my friends at Hack Club, I made the best out of what I had. “Better to ship a tiny raft than never ship that cruise yacht!” If nothing else, I got to make use of the sick ass traceroute program that powers the shiniest part of this site :) I hope this serves as another fun, informative, and well-crafted thing on the web that can last, be shared around, and inspire people. h/t https://mastodon.social/@tellio/111545395534734399

One Page Love
One Page Love
One Page Love is the leading showcase of beautiful One Page websites, templates and resources. A “One Pager” is a Single Page website with no additional pages like About, Team or Services. All the content sits within the same webpage, traditionally in a long-scrolling layout. The beauty of a One Page website is it tries to promote one thing in an uncluttered, direct manner. This allows the visitor to make a quicker decision vs sending them to a bloated website with many options and pages. The One Page Love website was launched in March 2008 by Rob Hope in Cape Town, South Africa who continues to add One Page websites and resources daily.

Common Voice
Common Voice
Mozilla Common Voice is an initiative to help teach machines how real people speak. Voice is natural, voice is human. That’s why we’re excited about creating usable voice technology for our machines. But to create voice systems, developers need an extremely large amount of voice data. Most of the data used by large companies isn’t available to the majority of people. We think that stifles innovation. So we’ve launched Common Voice, a project to help make voice recognition open and accessible to everyone. Now you can donate your voice to help us build an open-source voice database that anyone can use to make innovative apps for devices and the web. Read a sentence to help machines learn how real people speak. Check the work of other contributors to improve the quality. It’s that simple!

This project encompasses the design and compilation of the Lancaster-Northern Arizona Corpus of American Spoken English (LANA-CASE). LANA-CASE is the American English counterpart to the widely used British National Corpus 2014 (BNC2014) in that it consists of large amounts of anonymized, transcribed, and freely available spoken language samples. h/t https://researchbuzz.masto.host/@researchbuzz/111524515221176816

Better analyze information, in all its forms. Datashare is a self-hosted documents search software. It is a free and open-source software developed by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ). Initially created to combine multiple named-entity recognition pipelines, this tool is now a fully-featured search interface to dig into your documents. Datashare is built at the top of technologies and methods already tested with investigations like the Panama Papers or the Luanda Leaks. Seeing the growing interest for ICIJ's technology, we decided to open source this key component of our investigations so a single journalist as well as big media organizations could use it on their own documents.

HTML DOM — Phuoc Nguyen
HTML DOM — Phuoc Nguyen
Web development moves at lightning speed. I still remember when I first started using libraries like jQuery, Prototype, script.aculo.us, Zepto, and many more. Even with modern tools like Angular, VueJS, React, Solid and Svelte, we still have to deal with the Document Object Model (DOM). While these frameworks encapsulate and hide direct DOM management, they still give us access to work with the DOM via refs and event handlers. Whether you're developing or using a web component in any framework, you need to work with the DOM at a certain level. Knowing the browser DOM APIs and how to use them is crucial to web development. A website that introduces the APIs, highlights common problems, and provides answers to popular questions can be incredibly useful. That's why I've put together this collection of resources. Get ready to master DOM manipulation with vanilla JavaScript. h/t to @OLdaily
