POSH versus Microformats

Jeremy Keith attempts to clear up a commonly made misinterpretation: “Having re-usable chunks of markup is still incredibly useful and powerfulâ€¦ but theyâ€™re not microformats. <snip> So what you should you call a piece of semantically meaningful markup that can be applied in many places? Well, you could call it POSH”

Plupload
The developers of TinyMCE bring us Plupload, a highly usable upload handler: “Using Plupload one can upload multiple files using Google Gears, Silverlight, Flash, BrowserPlus or HTML5. Flexible configuration allows you to choose all or only some of these upload “runtimes” with fallback in the order you specify.”

HipHop for PHP (formerly known as HyperPHP)
As hinted before, in an interview with a Facebook employee: “HipHop for PHP isn’t technically a compiler itself. Rather it is a source code transformer. HipHop programmatically transforms your PHP source code into highly optimized C++ and then uses g++ to compile it. HipHop executes the source code in a semantically equivalent manner and sacrifices some rarely used features — such as eval() — in exchange for improved performance. HipHop includes a code transformer, a reimplementation of PHP’s runtime system, and a rewrite of many common PHP Extensions to take advantage of these performance optimizations.” — Too bad they didn’t keep the name HyperPHP though …

NetExport Firebug Extension
NetExport is a very neat Firebug Extension created by Jan Odvarko, one of the main Firebug contributors. Basically this extension lets you save traces from Firebugs Net Panel into an HTTP Archive (HAR file). The true beauty of this plugin is seen when passing such a created archive into the HTTP Archive Viewer. Be sure to try some of the examples, and be amazed!

Pythonic Javascript: Javascript with Python Syntax
Interesting project by Aza Raskin: Pyscript is a syntactic beautification of Javascript, where indents have meaning and braces are unnecessary, allowing you to script in a Python-style syntax. The source can be found on Google.

Facebook Employee gives (anonymous) interview
Although some people say it’s fake, I think this is a genuine interview indeed. Quite intrigued by the mentioned HPHP (HyperPHP) mentioned in the article … wouldn’t surprise me if that were a real thing, given the many open source technologies have introduced / helped developing.
