In case you missed my post from day 3 of #blogtober: It’s about a legendary piece of gear that shaped the sound of Abbey Road studios – and what it all has to do with building for the #Web. 🤓

WWW-Erfinder über Web & KI: Irgendwo sind wir falsch abgebogen
Tim Berners-Lee, der 'Vater des World Wide Web', warnt ausdrücklich vor einer weiteren Monopolisierung des Internets durch große Konzerne und die Gefahren einer mangelnden Regulierung von Diensten aus dem Bereich der Künstlichen Intelligenz. In beiden Fällen sei es längst an der Zeit, zu handeln.

Wissenschaftliche Datenbanken im Vergleich – Web of Science, Scopus, Dimensions - TIB-Blog
In einer zunehmend vernetzten und datengetriebenen Forschungswelt spielen verlässliche Informationen über wissenschaftliche Publikationen eine entscheidende Rolle. Eine zentrale Grundlage dafür bilden Zitationsdatenbanken wie Web of Science (WoS), Scopus und Dimensions, die Publikationen und ihre Verbindungen untereinander sichtbar machen. Aber worin unterscheiden sich diese Datenbanken? Welche eignet sich für welche Fragestellung? Und welche offenen Alternativen gibt es? Um diese Fragen gi…

Today I learned that regular expressions have a size limit and you get a “regular expression too large” error if you go over it.
Still trying to find some definitive documentation on what that size limit is in v8/latest Node.js.

Content warning: web access design, state of play

Excellent article from @…, including both an overview and illustrative examples.
As an occasional web-tinkerer, I couldn't fully understand the web design details like a professional would. But from the parallels with event organising, I can tell that the overall vibe is spot-on: don't treat access as an afterthought which can be tacked on later, build it in from day 1.
"If you don't know enough about disabled users to understand their needs: find out. Knowing enough about accessibility to know when to seek out specialist guidance, and to understand it when you get it, should be a core competency for standards engineers. ...
"Getting this right requires a bit more work up-front, but – just as it is with front-end development – ultimately saves potential years of clean-up work (or having to scrap projects after years of effort), as well as avoiding harming disabled users."

The most 2004 interview quote ever.
#smartphone #web

We haven't seen any real innovation after the web - and that was 13 years ago. Do you agree?

I do agree. The problem is that it is so hard to anticipate a revolution. Tim Berners-Lee was solving his own little problem but did so by developing a tool needed by the whole world. Well, you don't get to do that very often. So while it is easy to complain about a lack of subsequent innovation, what we're talking about is something comparable to the telephone and we don't spend very much time sitting…

Thou shalt test your #web #form #controls to make sure they work in #browser

A website contact form in which the text in a Country dropdown list control has been hard styled with White Text.... but because I am using my browsers's dark mode setting, the dropdown background is ALSO white, so you can only read the country text on the "selected" row that you have currently selected, because its background color is blue.

'Rechte Wikipedia': Musk macht seine Drohung wahr, startet Grokipedia
Elon Musk hat gestern Abend eine erste Version der vor ein paar Wochen angekündigten Grokipedia gestartet. Dabei handelt es sich um eine mit KI-Inhalten gefüllte Online-Enzyklopädie, die er als eine Art "nicht-tendenziöse" Wikipedia vermarktet. Letztlich ist das Ganze nur eine schlechte Kopie.

Geeky question: is anyone thinking or working on adapting #accessibility and #i18n #web standards to the impending avalanche of bad #AI translations that we'll have to deal with as users?
I'll be more specific, one example: I can prefer Spanish texts over English ones... as long as they are written by a human being and are not a terrible automated translation made by an AI, in which case I'd prefer to read the original English text. But... as of today, I have no way to specify that through my browser settings.

A very special "hello" to the folks who came up with HTML `title` attribute. An even more special "hello" to those who decided that an anchor's tooltip will be marked up as its "title".
