Google Hosting YUI Files on ajax.googleapis.com » Yahoo! User Interface Blog
This is a great symbol. Google and Yahoo! working together well to make Web devs lives better. I really enjoy working with Eric, Nate, Adam, and everyone at Yahoo! and look forward to continuing to do so in my new role!
"Google has been hosting some of the popular AJAX libraries for awhile, and we’re pleased to announce that YUI has now been added to that roster. Now, you can choose between yui.yahooapis.com and ajax.googleapis.com when you evaluate your hosting options for YUI files. We’ve added Google as an option in the CDN section of the Dependency Configurator; it’s easy to configure your implementation and switch the generated URLs from one source to the other."
'Milk' Screenwriter: Harvey Helped Me Come Out : NPR
Sean Penn stars in Gus Van Sant's new biopic Milk — the story of an out gay politician who inspired a community with his courage, and whose 1978 murder made headlines across the country.
Screenwriter Dustin Lance Black says he was among those for whom Harvey Milk made a real difference.
Born to Mormon parents, he grew up amid the military communities of San Antonio, Texas. He says Milk's story, when he finally learned about it, helped him summon the courage to come out to his family and friends.
Memories of Turbo Pascal version 1.0 - Anders Hejlsberg
"I originally wanted to implement an Algol compiler because that was the language I used on my high school’s mini-computer (an HP 2100). My business partner, Preben Madsen, thought it was a better idea to write a Pascal compiler because “Pascal is the new thing”. To my delight I discovered that Pascal was much simpler to implement than Algol, so Pascal it was!"
