Matching newlines in JavaScript

Matching newlines in JavaScript 09/20/2004 04:59 PM

Just a quick note: the . character in a JavaScript regular expression will never match a newline character. If you want to match any character including newlines you can use the [\s\S] character class instead, which means "any character that's either whitespace or not whitespace".

This differs from both Python and Perl, where regular expression flags can be used to alter the behaviour of the . character (re.DOTALL and /s respectively).

This tip courtesy of the denizens of #javascript on Freenode.

Is this a case of "Do your part in the fight against resellers, report any suspicious prices!"? By MacSingapore (via MyAppleMenu)

Matching Book Purchases with Blogs

Matching Book Purchases with Blogs 04/20/2004 11:17 AM

Amazon should run reverse affiliate links. When you search for or look ar a book on Amazon, they should have a little box that says "If you like this book, you might like these blogs..."

Better yet, let people upload their OPML file to their Amazon profile. Then they could have a box that said, "People who bought this book are most likely to be subscribed to these RSS feeds..."

Got this idea while perusing the Share Your OPML app over at scripting.com.

Mixing and matching on one's public page

Mixing and matching on one's public page 06/06/2005 12:13 AM

Though the stylesheet is still rather conservative, and the range of external modules still limited; take a look at my public page on Tribe.net (below.) Imagine this was your "About Me" page.

Notice that we're meshing in de.licio.us and RSS feeds, giving our end-users the ability to put up more than one 'desktop image' up into their interface and combining internal and external blogs.

We're also displaying different combinations of friends and groups - and in general - fulfilling the 'customization' requirement of DLAs.

This is what we all need - every DLA, portal, social network and blogging tool around. The ultimate "About Me" page. Now that Tribe has set the new standard, all other systems will be compared to this.

I especially like this approach as it allows one to add in additional modules - without fundamentally changing the UI.

Sure it looks allot like MyYahoo, and it could use three columns, and sure we'd like sexier stylesheets and Tribe still needs a better header - but that all will come with time. It's the ease of use and power quotient that I'm excited about right now.

It's taken years - but the Tribe team: Paul Martino, Brian Lawler, Chris Vale, Elliot Loh (among otehrs) - and the product marketing dudes - Chris Law and Gary Chao - have finally figured it out.

It's called product iteration - and it's what we did with VideoWorlks - for five years till we got Director - just right.

Kyocera Releases iPod mini-Matching
Cameras 07/22/2004 08:11 AM

Hoping to cash in on the iPod mini craze (and you know, I've heard more stupid ideas before), Kyocera is selling five new color-matched versions of the four-megapixel Finecam SL400R cameras. Color-matched, that is, to the iPod mini. And while I'm sure they'll be super hot (at least to those fashion-forward iPod adopters), getting one into the States may not be so easy -- the cameras will only be available in Apple's Ginza store and the online Apple Store (but for Japan-shipping only? Unknown!) (Thanks, Jon!)

Anti-Gmail Bill Now Allows Gmail

Anti-Gmail Bill Now Allows Gmail 05/26/2004 01:35 PM
Last month there was a lot of talk about the somewhat clueless move by a California politician to create a law that would ban Google's Gmail offering, despite the fact that it was completely optional to use. It appears that enough people (probably including those at Google itself) sat down with State Senator Liz Figueroa to explain how email works, and have convinced her to tone down the bill so that it now allows Gmail. That's right, the anti-Gmail bill now has loopholes that specifically allow Gmail. In other words, Senator Figueroa seems to have realized just how pointless the bill was in the first place and is trying to save face by adjusting it so that it still seems to have a purpose: banning a bunch of things that no one was doing, like having humans read the content of your emails to put in advertising.

Most shoplifted items

Most shoplifted items 06/22/2005 01:49 AM
David Pescovitz: The Food Marketing Institute has ranked the fifty most frequently shoplifted products snatched by organized retail thieves. Organized retail theft (ORT) is "separate and distinct from petty shoplifting in that it involves professional theft rings that move quickly from community to community and across state lines to steal large amounts of merchandise that is then repackaged and sold back into the marketplace." The Top 10 shoplifted items:

#1 Advil tablet 50 ct
#2 Advil tablet 100 ct
#3 Aleve caplet 100 ct
#4 EPT Pregnancy Test single
#5 Gillette Sensor 10 ct
#6 Kodak 200 24 exp
#7 Similac w/iron powder - case
#8 Similac w/iron powder - single can
#9 Preparation H 12 ct
#10 Primatene tablet 24 ct

RSS, updated items, and links

RSS, updated items, and links 12/29/2004 08:29 PM
One of the big differences between RSS and email is that RSS items can change.

So the question for any newsreader developer is this: what changes should trigger an item being marked as unread?

Specifically, today I’m thinking about a subset of that question: changes to <link> elements.

Take this hypothetical case:

1. An item looks like this:

<title>A title</title>
<description>A description</description>
<link>http://example.org/1</link>
<guid>123</guid>

2. Then the feed updates, and the <link> element changes:

<title>A title</title>
<description>A description</description>
<link>http://example.org/2</link>
<guid>123</guid>

The question: should it be marked as unread or not?

Right now, NetNewsWire marks it as unread. My policy has always been to err on the side of marking things unread—on the assumption that, otherwise, you might miss something important.

(Actually, NetNewsWire marks it as updated, and you have a pref that says whether or not to mark updated items as unread. Which most people leave turned on.)

The RSS 2.0 spec doesn’t address the issue of when to consider an item significantly changed—and I’m not sure the spec should say anything about that.

Of course, I don’t want new prefs or special cases, I want the best policy.

Perhaps changes to <link>s should not cause an item to be marked unread. What do you think?



On a related topic...

People have often asked me why we can’t use the <link> element as a unique identifier and permalink for news items.

It can’t be a unique identifier because it may change. The New York Times feeds, for instance, change their <link>s frequently: they include a query string that allows you to get past the registration system, and that query string changes. (It’s the New York Times feeds that prompted the discussion above about ignoring <link> changes.)

<link>s can’t be permalinks because there is nothing that says that a <link> has to be a permalink—it could point to another site entirely.

Which is why I always ask people to use <guid>s in their feeds, so we can identify items, so we can know when an item is an updated version of a previous item.

(About Atom there is one thing I adore: that guids—called <id>s there—are mandatory. I wish they could be mandatory in RSS too.)

Multiple-enclosures on RSS items?

Multiple-enclosures on RSS items? 12/22/2004 01:10 AM

Disclaimer: These are my thoughts, not spec text.

This question comes up from time to time, and I've resisted answering it directly, thinking that anyone who really read the spec would come to the conclusion that RSS allows zero or one enclosures per item, and no more. The same is true for all other sub- elements of item, except category, where multiple elements are explicitly allowed. The spec refers to "the enclosure" in the singular. Regardless, some people persist in thinking that you may have more than one enclosure per item.

Okay, let's play it out. So if I have more than one enclosure per item, how do I specify the publication date for each enclosure? How do I specify the title, author, a link to comments, a description perhaps, or a guid? The people who want multiple enclosures suggest schemes that are so complicated that they're reduced to hand-waving before they get to the spec, which I would love to read, if it could be written. Some times some things are just too hard to do. This is one of them.

And there's a reason why it's too hard. Because you're throwing out the value of RSS and then trying to figure out how to bring it back. There's no need for items any more, so you might as well get rid of them. At the top level of channel would be a series of enclosures, and then underneath each enclosure, all the meta-data. Voila, problem solved. Only what have you actually solved? You've just re-created RSS, but instead of calling the main elements "item" we now call them "enclosure".

Sometimes linear thinking leads you to a dead-end, and this is one of those times, imho. You end up in a torus, there's no wall that says "you may go no further" but somehow you keep going in circles, chasing your tail, re-inventing RSS, when there's absolutely no need to.

So people ask how will we fit show notes into RSS? Maybe we won't. When you get into show notes, think outlines, and think about linking MP3s into outline structures. I think this has more potential. I could be wrong of course (not joking).
