Testing the Application in Google Chrome To test the current ElectroServer JavaScript API, you need to start Google Chrome with web security disabled. The method of doing this varies by operating system, but on Mac OS X, you can open a Terminal session and execute the following command (which will open Chrome if you have it in your Applications folder): /Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome --disable-web-security On a Windows-based PC, input a command similar to this from a command prompt or from a .bat file: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --disable-web-security Note Obviously this is not a workable solution for a production application.

As far as compatible browsers go, we suggest that you download and use the latest version of the following web browsers. The browsers are listed in the order that we suggest you test them: Chrome Safari Firefox Internet Explorer (version 10) Opera Every example in this book was tested with Google Chrome, Safari, and Firefox. While we made every attempt to ensure that these examples worked across as many browsers as possible, we suggest that you use Google Chrome or Safari for the best results. What You Need to Know It would be good if you knew your way around programming in some kind of modern language like C, C++, C#, ActionScript 2, ActionScript 3, Java, or JavaScript.

For the Canvas page we just created, Fangs tells us that the page would read as follows: “Chapter one Example six Canvas Sub Dom Example dash Internet Explorer A yellow background with an image and text on top List of two items one The text says quote Hello World quote two The image is of the planet earth.List end” For Google Chrome, you can get the Google Chrome extension Chrome Vox, which will attempt to verbally read all the content on your pages. (For the full example, see CH1EX6.html in the code distribution.) Hit Testing Proposal The “sub dom” concept can quickly become unwieldy for anyone who has tried to do anything more intricate than a simple Canvas animation.

Although Venkman, an early debugger, had appeared in 1998, the 2006 release of Firebug became the gold standard of JavaScript debuggers. It allows the developer to track Ajax calls, view the state of the DOM and CSS, single-step through code, and much more. Browsers built on WebKit, notably Apple’s Safari and Google Chrome, offer similar functionality built in, and Opera Dragonfly provides support for Opera. Even developers working in the confined spaces of mobile devices can now get Firebug-like debugging with weinre (WEb INspector REmote). The final key component in this massive recent investment in JavaScript was libraries.

Closure in a button $('document').ready(function Ready() { var button, tools; tools = ['save', 'add', 'delete']; console.info($('div#toolbar')); tools.forEach(function (tool) { console.info(tool); var button = $('<button>').text(tool).attr({ css: 'tool' }).appendTo('div#toolbar'); button.click(function clickHandler() { console.info(tool, button); alert("User clicked " + tool); }); }); }); When using closures, it can be hard to know which variables are or are not in the scope of a function. However, both Google Chrome’s DevTools and Firebug will show the list of closed variables. In Firebug, the scope chain can be seen in the Script tab by looking under “Watch.” Under all the variables of the current scope will be a ladder of the scopes going up to the main “window” object. In DevTools, for example, when the code is halted in the debugger, a subsection called “closure” in the right-hand column under Scope Variables will show the closed variables for the current function (see Figure 2-1).

In DevTools, for example, when the code is halted in the debugger, a subsection called “closure” in the right-hand column under Scope Variables will show the closed variables for the current function (see Figure 2-1). In this case, it shows that we have clicked on the “delete” button and lists the reference to the jQuery object for the button itself. Figure 2-1. Closures in Google Chrome’s DevTools Functional Programming Functional programming is a methodology that is more commonly associated with languages like Lisp, Scala, Erlang, F#, or Haskell, but works quite well in JavaScript also. Functional programming rests on a couple basic assumptions: Functions are first-class citizens of the language and can be used where any other value can be used.

It should be done in the before_script section of the YML file. Let's invoke the necessary commands to install Chrome and export the CHROME_BIN variable. Add the following to your .travis.yml files: before_script: - export CHROME_BIN=/usr/bin/google-chrome - sudo apt-get update - sudo apt-get install -y libappindicator1 fonts-liberation - wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome- stable_current_amd64.deb - sudo dpkg -i google-chrome*.deb As you can see, in order to perform the installation and system update, we must invoke commands with sudo. By default, Travis does not let you execute sudo commands in order to prevent accidental damage by non-trustworthy scripts.

…

Just add the following lines to your .travis.yml files: sudo: required dist: trusty Now your whole .travis.yml file should look like the following: //.travis.yml language: node_js sudo: required dist: trusty node_js: - "5.11.0" before_script: - export CHROME_BIN=/usr/bin/google-chrome - sudo apt-get update - sudo apt-get install -y libappindicator1 fonts-liberation - wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome- stable_current_amd64.deb - sudo dpkg -i google-chrome*.deb Try to commit it and check your Travis dashboard. Oh no! It fails again. This time, it seems to be timeout issue: Even after installing Chrome, tests silently fail due to the timeout Why did it happen?

…

So open the .travis.yml files and add the following to the before_script section: - export DISPLAY=:99.0 - sh -e /etc/init.d/xvfb start The whole YML file now looks like the following: //.travis.yml language: node_js sudo: required dist: trusty node_js: - "5.11.0" before_script: - export CHROME_BIN=/usr/bin/google-chrome - sudo apt-get update - sudo apt-get install -y libappindicator1 fonts-liberation - wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome- stable_current_amd64.deb - sudo dpkg -i google-chrome*.deb - export DISPLAY=:99.0 - sh -e /etc/init.d/xvfb start Commit it and check your Travis dashboard.

In this recipe, we will learn how to detect memory leaks in a Backbone application and how to fix them. We will use Google Chrome Heap Profiler, which is a part of the Google Chrome browser. Getting ready... In this recipe, we are going to take an example application from the recipe binding a collection to a view of Chapter 5, Events and Binding and modify it. Such modifications are not required in the production application but will help us to detect memory leaks using Google Chrome Heap Profiler. 250 Chapter 8 1. Add a named constructor to the each object in your program, which is extended from a standard Backbone object, such as Model or View.

…

Add a named constructor to the each object in your program, which is extended from a standard Backbone object, such as Model or View. Inside this constructor, call a parent constructor. 1. It could be much easier to detect memory leaks in Google Chrome Heap Profiler by finding object instances using their class names, which would only be possible if we defined such classes using named constructors. 2. Following code shows the InvoiceItemModel object with the named constructor defined. var InvoiceItemModel = Backbone.Model.extend({ calculateAmount: function() { return this.get('price') * this.get('quantity'); }, constructor: function InvoiceItemModel() { InvoiceItemModel.__super__.constructor.apply( this, arguments ); } }); 2.

Following code shows the InvoiceItemModel object with the named constructor defined. var InvoiceItemModel = Backbone.Model.extend({ calculateAmount: function() { return this.get('price') * this.get('quantity'); }, constructor: function InvoiceItemModel() { InvoiceItemModel.__super__.constructor.apply( this, arguments ); } }); 2. Make sure your application code is performed in a global scope. This will make it easier to find Backbone objects in Google Chrome Heap Profiler. Contents of your main.js file shouldn't be enclosed by any function. The next few lines of code should be removed from your main.js file. (function($){ $(document).ready(function () { }); })(jQuery); Inclusion of main.js into index.html should be performed in the body section as follows: <body><script src="js/main.js"></script></body> 3. Modify ControlsView by adding a button which deletes InvoiceItemsTableView to demonstrate a memory leak.

The inline script in this example contains a statement that calls the console.log method, which writes a message to the JavaScript console. The console is a basic (but useful) tool that the browser provides that lets you display debugging information as your script is executed. Each browser has a different way of showing the console. For Google Chrome, you select JavaScript console from the Tools menu. You can see how the console is displayed in Chrome in Figure 5-2. Figure 5-2. The Google Chrome JavaScript console ■■Tip Notice that the Chrome window shown in the figure has an AngularJS tab. This is added by the Batarang extension that I described in Chapter 1 and is useful for debugging AngularJS apps. You can see that the output from calling the console.log method is displayed in the console window, along with the details of where the message originated (in this case on line 7 of the jsdemo.html file).

…

Choosing a Web Browser AngularJS works in any modern web browser, and you should test your app in all of the browsers that your users are likely to use. You will need a go-to browser for development purposes, however, so that you can set up your development environment to show the current state of the application and perform basic testing. I’ll be using Google Chrome in this book, and I suggest you do the same. Not only is Chrome a solid browser, but it complies well with the latest W3C standards and has excellent F12 developer tools (so-called because you access them by pressing the F12 key). The most compelling reason to use Chrome for development is that Google has created a Chrome extension that adds support for AngularJS to the F12 tools.

…

As long as your preferred editor can write HTML and JavaScript files (both of which are plain text), then you will be able to follow along without any problems. 8 Chapter 1 ■ Getting Ready Installing Node.js Many development tools that are commonly used for client-side web app development are written in JavaScript and rely on Node.js to run. Node.js is built from the same JavaScript engine that is used in the Google Chrome browser but has been adapted to work outside the browser, providing a general-purpose framework for writing JavaScript applications. Go to http://nodejs.org and download and install the Node.js package for your platform (there are versions available for Windows, Linux, and Mac OS). Make sure you install the package manager and that the installation directory is added to your path.

But by no means, as Andy Grove made clear, is it the place to stop: You know, in our business we have to set ourselves uncomfortably tough objectives, and then we have to meet them. And then after ten milliseconds of celebration we have to set ourselves another [set of] highly difficult-to-reach objectives and we have to meet them. And the reward of having met one of these challenging goals is that you get to play again. 13 Stretch: The Google Chrome Story Sundar Pichai CEO Stretch goals were beautifully defined by the leader of the Google X team that developed Project Loon and self-driving cars.

It will also touch upon Ember Data, which is a library the Ember.js is working on to simplify data in more complex applications. What you need for this book The programming language used in this book will be JavaScript. The browser that will be used to run the JavaScript, HTML, and so on will be Google Chrome. Other browsers such as Firefox and Safari should work just as well. The operating system that can be used is Windows, Mac OS X, or Linux. A text editor other than Notepad, such as Notepad++, VIM, or Sublime Text should be used for proper formatting of the code. Who this book is for The target audience for this book is frontend developers who realize that their frontend code base has gotten too large to maintain effectively and properly, and are looking for a complete framework solution.

…

The most commonly used backend for Ember, Rails, has gems to add Ember.js support. Node.js and Django have adapters to incorporate Ember.js as well. For the purposes of this book, we will sacrifice proper application architecture in the interest of time. Getting ready The browser used for the purposes of this book will be Google Chrome. Any text editor for editing our JavaScript and HTML files will work in this case. Ember provides a starter kit that will help us create our sample application. www.it-ebooks.info Instant Ember.js Application Development How-to Download the latest starter kit from https://github.com/emberjs/starter-kit/ downloads or use the starter-kit.zip file provided.

Investigators in the Enron case discovered that a lot of data had been deleted at the outset of the investigation, preventing prosecutors from seeing exactly what had gone on within the company. As a result, Senator Paul Sarbanes (D-MD) and Representative Michael G. Oxley (R-OH) sponsored legislation that imposed a series of requirements aimed at preserving data. One was that browser histories must be retained. According to a grand jury indictment, Matanov deleted his Google Chrome browser history selectively, leaving behind activity from certain days during the week of April 15, 2013.2 Officially he was indicted on two counts: “(1) destroying, altering, and falsifying records, documents, and tangible objects in a federal investigation, and (2) making a materially false, fictitious, and fraudulent statement in a federal investigation involving international and domestic terrorism.”3 He was sentenced to thirty months in prison.

There’s a “Do not allow any site to track my physical location” option that will disable geolocation in Chrome. Other browsers have similar configuration options. You might also want to fake your location—if only just for fun. If you want to send out false coordinates—say, the White House—in Firefox, you can install a browser plug-in called Geolocator. In Google Chrome, check the plug-in’s built-in setting called “emulate geolocation coordinates.” While in Chrome, press Ctrl+Shift+I on Windows or Cmd+Option+I on Mac to open the Chrome Developer Tools. The Console window will open, and you can click the three vertical dots at the top right of the Console, then select more tools>sensors.

That means that your friend’s surfing history, among other information, is now viewable on your computer. Plus, if you sign in to a synchronized browser account using a public terminal and forget to sign out, all your browser’s bookmarks and history will be available to the next user. If you’re signed in to Google Chrome, then even your Google calendar, YouTube, and other aspects of your Google account become exposed. If you must use a public terminal, be vigilant about signing out before you leave. Another downside of syncing is that all interconnected devices will show the same content. If you live alone, that may be fine.

Traditionally a format thought of as just a means of sending text documents around, PDF actually retains vector information and can be used interchangeably in Adobe Illustrator with its own native format (.ai). Apps like Coda (below) and Google Chrome have already shown that for simple, scalable icons, it can be a handy format. While complex application icons served as PDF would result in too large a file, for icons like this it’s ideal. File sizes vary: the Coda icon weighs in at 22Kb, whereas the Google Chrome icon is down to the low of 6Kb. So while it is a bit heavier than the bitmap version, it’s infinitely scalable. How it affects our artwork The requirement to export as PDF, retaining vector information, will restrict our tool choices to Illustrator, Opacity or OmniGraffle.

Discussion Not all browsers provide a relatively simple way to create browser add-ons, plug-ins, or extensions. Opera doesn’t provide this functionality at all, and WebKit’s plug-in architecture isn’t trivial. However, if you’re motivated, you should be able to use your JavaScript skills to create any number of useful browser tools. Creating Google Chrome extensions A Google Chrome extension is the simplest development environment of all the brows- ers. Your extension can consist of a manifest file, created in JSON, a download icon, and then the extension web page and JavaScript. It’s uncomplicated, and it’s the envi- ronment I recommend you try first, before developing an extension for other browsers.

…

It’s uncomplicated, and it’s the envi- ronment I recommend you try first, before developing an extension for other browsers. You can run through the beginning tutorial and have your first Chrome extension finished in an hour. If, I should add, you can run Chrome in your environment at all, as Google also provides limited platform support for its browser. Currently, the Google Chrome extension environment only seems to work in Windows, though you can see about getting into an early release program for Mac and Linux. Note that Chrome’s Mac support is for Intel-based machines only. 484 | Chapter 21: JavaScript Outside the Box If you can work with Chrome, your extension begins with a manifest file that uses JSON and looks like: { "name": "Hello World", "version": "1.0", "description": "Giving this a try", "browser_action": { "default_icon": "icon.png", "popup" : "popup.html" } } You’ll provide an extension name and description, provide the environments in which you’ll work (“permissions”), such as Google or Flickr, and provide browser actions to load pages or add icons.

…

; var div = document.createElement("div"); div.appendChild(txt); document.body.appendChild(div); }</script> After you create the manifest and application page, you’ll load the extension in Chrome via the Tools menu, choosing Extensions. Make sure the Developer Tools are exposed, and click the “Load unpacked extension…” button for the extension folder, as shown in Figure 21-1. If all goes well, the icon shows in the toolbar. If you click the icon, the extension pop-up should open, as shown in Figure 21-2. Access the Google Chrome Extension Lab at http://code.google.com/ chrome/extensions/overview.html. 21.1 Creating a Browser Add-0n, Plug-in, or Extension | 485 Figure 21-1. Loading a Chrome extension Mozilla extensions The Mozilla extensions for the organization’s applications, including Firefox and Thunderbird, are reasonably uncomplicated to create, but even then, the number of files you need in order to implement an add-on is a little awe-inspiring.

Apache You’re definitely going to need some version of Apache to host your web app locally. Although for the type of apps we’ll create in this book, PHP and MySQL aren’t going to be required, so it’s hard to beat XAMPP (www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html) for ease of installation across Mac or Windows platforms. 19 Chapter 1 ■ An Introduction to Backbone.js Google Chrome When developing JavaScript, Chrome is my browser of choice, purely because of the strength of the developer tools included. The Chrome Developer Tools (Figure 1-15) are among the best web debugging tools available. From the Sources tab you can open any JavaScript and add breakpoints, allowing you to inspect the values of variables and go step by step through the execution of your program.

Once all of the code has been successfully migrated, the following code should execute the app in the same condition as it was in Chapter 6: require([ 'backbone', 'app/view/TimelineView', 'app/view/ProfileView', 'app/model/Search', 'app/view/SearchView', 'app/router/AppRouter', 'app/util/Helpers' ], function (Backbone, TimelineView, ProfileView, Search, SearchView, AppRouter) {    var timelineView = new TimelineView(), profileView = new ProfileView({user: 'sugrue'}), searchModel = new Search(), searchView = new SearchView({model: searchModel}), appRouter = new AppRouter({searchModel: searchModel}); Backbone.history.start(); });   Using Yeoman to Get Started Quickly In Chapter 10 we discussed how Grunt provides generators to help you get started with a complete application structure quickly. Yeoman (http://yeoman.io, Figure 12-3) makes this process even easier, with generators available for Backbone applications that utilize RequireJS. 261 Chapter 12 ■ Creating a Manageable JavaScript Code Base Figure 12-3. Yeoman web site at http://yeoman.io Yeoman, created by the Google Chrome Developer Relations team, is a tool stack that brings together three tools to improve your productivity when creating web applications. It includes Grunt, which we discussed in depth in Chapter 9, as well as two other tools: Bower and Yo. Bower is a package manager for libraries and frameworks that are used within web applications.

The key thing to remember is that even though JavaScript is a dynamic language and allows you to do almost anything you want, there is always the opportunity to apply real structure to your code to make it future-proof and ready for any application requirements that get added late in the project life cycle. 269 Index „„         A AngularJS, 8 Apache, 19 Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (Ajax), 2

Firefox’s share remained flat for the next year or so, and then began a slow decline that left it with only 5 percent of the market by early 2018. Its losses were not IE’s gain, however, as the browser wars entered a new phase with the emergence of a new competitor in late 2008, Google’s Chrome. Google Chrome, 2008–2016: Google launched Chrome in September 2008. It gradually gained traction in the market and soon began gaining ground on IE and Firefox, turning the browser contest into a three horse race. By one measure, total web traffic using Chrome passed Firefox at the end of 2011 and overtook IE in the middle of 2012.

Fragmentation, with multiple versions of Android, multiple browsers, and multiple app stores, unquestionably caused confusion among consumers and reduced incentives for application developers to absorb the expense of supporting incompatible Android versions. But, similar to the Microsoft case, once Android “won” the mobile OS wars, the vast majority of smartphone manufacturers were likely to bundle Google Chrome and Google Search anyway, regardless of the contract conditions. (Remember, Apple does not license its platform technology to anyone, for any price.) Google might have lost a few smartphone models to another app store or browser, but they would have been unlikely to stem the tide behind Android.

Around the time of the Ajax revolution in 2005, JavaScript went from being a “toy” language to something people wrote real and significant programs with. Some of the notable firsts were Google Maps and Gmail, but today there are a host of web applications from Twitter to Facebook to GitHub. Since the release of Google Chrome in late 2008, JavaScript performance has improved at an incredibly fast rate due to heavy competition between browser vendors (Mozilla, Microsoft, Apple, Opera, and Google). The performance of these modern JavaScript virtual machines is literally changing the types of applications you can build on the web.[2] A compelling, and frankly mind-blowing, example of this is jslinux,[3] a PC emulator running in JavaScript where you can load a Linux kernel, interact with the terminal session, and compile a C program, all in your browser. 2 See the “Chrome Experiments” page for some examples: www.chromeexperiments.com/. 3 Jslinux, a JavaScript PC emulator: http://bellard.org/jslinux/.

Node uses V8, the virtual machine that powers Google Chrome, for server-side programming. V8 gives Node a huge boost in performance because it cuts out the middleman, preferring straight compilation into native machine code over executing bytecode or using an interpreter. Because Node uses JavaScript on the server, there are also other benefits: Developers can write web applications in one language, which helps by reducing the context switch between client and server development, and allowing for code sharing between client and server, such as reusing the same code for form validation or game logic.

HRH sat in one of the chairs. “Position your meat in the other receptacle,” said HRH. “Join me at this terminal to infinity.” “Are you trying to make me watch porn?” asked the sex worker. “I’ve seen porn. But it’s your money.” HRH powered on the Alienware Area-51 desktop computer. HRH opened the Google Chrome web browser. HRH directed the Google Chrome web browser to https://www.twitch.tv. https://www.twitch.tv was the URL of Twitch, a subsidiary of Amazon.com, which was a website dedicated to the destruction of the publishing industry. Amazon.com was owned by Jeff Bezos, who also owned Goodreads.com, the Internet Movie Database, Blue Origin, and the Washington Post, which was a newspaper with a slogan that said: “Democracy Dies in Darkness.”

Did I not inform you that I would demonstrate the greatest perversity? Do not think that Twitch itself constitutes the horror. There remains another dimension.” HRH scrolled down on the webpage hosting the Sidcup woman’s Twitch channel. HRH clicked the donate button. The donate button opened another browser tab in Google Chrome. HRH switched to this tab. HRH filled out the form on the donate page. HRH clicked donate. A notification appeared on the Sidcup woman’s stream. It informed the woman and her viewers that HRH had donated £2,000. The woman pulled off her headphones and began to cry. “One cannot donate to any Twitch channel which experiences true popularity,” said HRH.

It's built with WebKit, a web browser backend originally built for KDE, a desktop version of the (very geeky) Linux operating system. Apple, the maker of Mac, iPods, and iPhones, picked up the project and used it as the base for its Safari browser and all of the Mac's web abilities. WebKit has since been adopted by many software projects, including Google's Chrome browser and, yes, the browser on your Android phone. The Android Browser is not, however, Chrome for Android. It can render full web pages that look as they do on a desktop computer 99% of the time, and, with the 2.2 Android update, the Browser can even render sites that require Adobe Flash, putting it ahead of the pack in that regard.

Here are a few quick tips on getting more from Google Voice on your phone and in your phone life. Add a browser extension for quick desk calling: When you find a restaurant or business phone number you want to call, you don't need to pick up your phone and punch the number in. With a Google Voice extension installed in Google Chrome or Firefox, you can simply click on phone numbers on a web page, then answer your phone when it rings to make the call. These extensions also offer instant SMS and message checking abilities, making them well worth the download for any Voice enthusiast. Moving an app icon Make free desktop calls with Voice: Your Android handles Google Voice calls just fine.

This separation allows other technologies and languages, such as VBScript, to benefit from the DOM and the rendering functionality Trident has to offer. Safari uses WebKit’s WebCore for DOM and rendering and has a separate JavaScriptCore engine (dubbed SquirrelFish in 35 its latest version). Google Chrome also uses WebCore libraries from WebKit for rendering pages but implements its own JavaScript engine called V8. In Firefox, Spider-Monkey (the latest version is called TraceMonkey) is the JavaScript implementation, a separate part of the Gecko rendering engine. Inherently Slow What does that mean for performance?

At the same time, a new generation of browser competition has erupted, with Google’s Chrome, Mozilla’s Firefox, Apple’s Safari, and Microsoft’s Internet Explorer all vying for the crown of browser king. As part of this, all these companies are investing heavily in the JavaScript portion of these systems as modern web applications continue to grow ever-more dynamic and script-based. In particular, Google Chrome’s V8 JavaScript runtime is particularly fast and also open-sourced for use by anybody. With all these things in place, the opportunity arose for somebody to come along with a new approach to network (web) application development. Thus, the birth of Node.js. What Exactly Is Node.js? In 2009, a fellow named Ryan Dahl was working for a company called Joyent, a cloud and virtualization services company in California.

Boyd decided that the primary determinant to winning dogfights was not observing, orienting, planning or acting better. The primary determinant to winning dogfights was observing, orienting, planning and acting faster. In other words, how quickly one could iterate. Speed of iteration, Boyd suggested, beats quality of iteration. Speed of iteration — the Google Chrome project has it. 1.0 December 11, 2008 2.0 May 24, 2009 3.0 October 12, 2009 4.0 January 25, 2010 5.0 May 25, 2010 6.0 September 2, 2010 Chrome was a completely respectable browser in V1 and V2. The entire project has moved forward so fast that it now is, at least in my humble opinion, the best browser on the planet.

These guys (and gals) need each other, and they both deserve special treatment. We design and optimize for two classes of users: anonymous, and logged in.

The theory is that if you build a great app, you’ll receive great reviews and benefit by soaring up the app charts. Marketplaces were initially created for native apps and have proven to be highly successful. The idea has been copied for web apps, but with much less success. There are efforts to change this, such as the Google Chrome Web Store,2 Firefox Marketplace,3 Facebook App Center,4 and even the Apple “web apps” directory,5 but the uptake is much slower than their native app counterparts. 1 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persona_(user_experience) https://chrome.google.com/webstore 3 https://marketplace.firefox.com/ 4 http://www.facebook.com/appcenter 5 http://www.apple.com/webapps/ 2 58 Chapter 4 ■ Choosing Web Apps Over Native Apps Established and controlled marketplaces can also come with a downside, however.

To do this, we need to open up a nifty little browser feature called developer tools. These are tools that are built into some browsers, like Chrome, and are available as plug-ins for other browsers, like Firefox. We’ll go through this book’s examples using Chrome, a free browser you can download from https://www.google.com/chrome/. Using Google Chrome, go to a Twitter timeline and click a single tweet. To access the HTML of the tweet in Chrome, select View ▸ Developer ▸ Developer Tools from Chrome’s menu or press CTRL-SHIFT-I in Windows or COMMAND-OPTION-I on a Mac. This should open a second view in your browser called the Web Inspector. The Web Inspector allows you to look at the code underlying the website, as shown in Figure 1-8.

It’s not surprising then that one major CA’s summary of the audits is that they’re “effectively a ‘least common denominator’ where the audit has been so dumbeddown that it is meaningless” (there’s no record of any CA ever failing the required audit and having their certificates removed from web browsers) [360]14. The following year yet another trusted CA, this time one run by the French government, was caught issuing MITM certificates [361][362][363][364]. As before, the problem was noticed in Google Chrome when fake certificates for Google-run sites started appearing [365]. No other browser noticed that there was a problem. The issue in this case was that the trusted root CA had created a veritable forest of sub-CAs for different government agencies and departments. The fact that running a CA wasn’t necessarily the primary business function for these organisations showed in the way that the CAs were managed [366][367].

Legitimate banks, stores and other public sites will not ask you to do this” (emphasis added) would almost certainly be seen by a lawyer as libellous or defamatory (see the discussion in “Legal Considerations” on page 553 on why you have to be very careful about how you word warnings to users). Other browsers go too far in the other direction, with Google Chrome at one point promising users that the presence of a certificate meant that “it can be guaranteed that you are actually connecting to” a particular entity, conveniently omitting to mention who was supposed to be providing this guarantee [576]). Even the message displayed by browsers for standard certificates, “You are connected to bank-name which is run by (unknown)” (which is done in order to enhance the value of EV certificates, for which the string “(unknown)” is replaced by the actual organisation name), is misleading because it tends to make customers suspicious about the nature of the site that they’ve connected to.

Java tried to implement a mitigated-trust mechanism in initial releases when the evangelists were in the driving seat, but backed down in later releases when the pragmatists got control. .NET only went through the motions, in theory implementing a Java-like mitigated-trust access model but in practice defaulting to the access-all-areas trust level="Full". ActiveX, and by extension any standard native application, never even tried. The Google Chrome browser in contrast requires that plugins written for it include a manifest that specifies exactly what privileges the plugin requires, which includes specifying the web sites and functions that the plugin needs (or at least wants) to access [599][600]. The concept of modelling trust as a failure mode is applicable to other areas as well.

Getting Started with D3 by Mike Dewar

data science, Firefox, Google Chrome, linked data

For more details on this aspect of D3, check out http://bost.ocks.org/mike/join/. In this first example, we don’t have any elements on the page at all, so the .enter() method returns a selection containing data for all 11 data elements. This enter selection is now ready for us to append elements to it. Developer Tools Google Chrome’s Developer Tools or Firefox’s Firebug are an essential part of a web developer’s toolset. If you are investigating JavaScript for the first time, especially in the context of drawing visualizations, your first experience of the developer tools is like a breath of fresh air. In Chrome, to access the developer tools, navigate to View→Developer→Developer Tools.

Using UDP instead of TCP requires Mosh to do a little extra behind-the-scenes work to synchronize the local and remote sessions (instead of sending all local keystrokes over the wire serially via TCP, then waiting for stdout and stderr to be returned, like SSH). Mosh also promises better UTF-8 support than SSH, and is well supported by all the major POSIX-like operating systems (and can even run inside Google Chrome!). It will be interesting to see where the future leads with regard to remote terminal access, but one thing is for sure: Ansible will continue to support the most secure, fast, and reliable connection methods to help you build and manage your infrastructure! Use secure and encrypted communication We spent a lot of time discussing SSH’s heritage and the way it works because it is, in many ways, the foundation of a secure infrastructure—in almost every circumstance, you will allow SSH remote access for your servers, so it’s important you know how it works, and how to configure it to ensure you always administer the server securely, over an encrypted connection.

Well, let me tell you about an investigation led by German journalist Svea Eckert and data scientist Andreas Dewes that should give you a clear idea.16 Eckert and her team set up a fake data broker and used it to buy the anonymous browsing data of 3 million German citizens. (Getting hold of people’s internet histories was easy. Plenty of companies had an abundance of that kind of data for sale on British or US customers – the only challenge was finding data focused on Germany.) The data itself had been gathered by a Google Chrome plugin that users had willingly downloaded, completely unaware that it was spying on them in the process.† In total, it amounted to a gigantic list of URLs. A record of everything those people had looked at online over the course of a month. Every search, every page, every click. All legally put up for sale.

Microformats can be implemented not only in (X)HTML markup but also in XML, RSS, Atom, and so on. Microformats can express site structure, link weight, content type, and human relationships with the class, rel, and rev attribute values. They are very easy to write, and a great deal of software supports them (the Operator and Tails Export add-ons for Firefox, the Michromeformats Google Chrome extension, the microformats transformer Optimus, or the Microformats Bookmarklet for Safari, Firefox, and IE). 24 Chapter 2 ■ Knowledge Representation However, due to limitations and open issues, other machine-readable annotation formats gradually overtook microformats. Applying various microformats as multiple values on the same a element, such as rel="nofollow" and rel="friend", cannot be used.

Jochem is sitting in GovCERT’s oval conference room when Hans Petri, a co-worker, walks in. Instantly, he knows something is wrong. Petri has been on watch duty and manning the helpline. He’s white as a sheet, moustache trembling. Jochem has never seen him like this. Petri tells him about a post on a Google forum. An Iranian is reporting that when he went to open Gmail he got a Google Chrome message warning him it wasn’t safe. The man doesn’t know what’s wrong exactly, but suspects someone is posing as Gmail. Specialists at the German CERT, GovCERT’s counterpart, have seen the post, too, and they also think it looks suspicious. According to them, however, the source of the problem isn’t at Google in Iran or the United States, but in Beverwijk, North Holland.

The problem is, not all websites in that network can be trusted. What looks like the national tax authority’s website might belong not to the tax authority but to criminals trying to steal login data. We have a system to solve that. Whenever a user goes to a website, their web browser checks if the site is legitimate. Google (Chrome), Microsoft (Explorer) and Firefox (Mozilla) don’t actually perform this check themselves: they outsource it to companies, like DigiNotar, that issue certificates. The system is comparable to a notary who verifies that parties to a transaction are who they say they are. DigiNotar is a digital notary firm that checks who the website you visit belongs to and if that website can be trusted.

Many people believe that they can use Google Chrome’s “Incognito” mode or Microsoft Internet Explorer’s “InPrivate Browsing” mode to avoid being monitored online. But that is not true.

The moniker came from the term used to describe the frame, toolbars, menus, and other graphic elements that border a browser window. In a way, the name was counterintuitive, because Google wanted to strip off a lot of the decorative chrome seen in other browsers and create a sleek sports car of a browser.

Html5 Boilerplate Web Development by Divya Manian

The following screenshot shows how a browser renders the default HTML5 Boilerplate 404 page, when HTML5 Boilerplate's .htaccess file is used: Forcing the latest IE version Internet Explorer utilizes a meta tag to decide whether it should render a site in compatibility mode or use the latest rendering engine to render it. Google Chrome has released a plugin named Chrome Frame , downloadable from https://developers.google.com/chrome/chrome-frame/ that, if installed on a user's computer, will provide the experience of a modern browser when the user uses older versions of Internet Explorer. Your site can opt-in to using this plugin on a user's computer, when your page is being viewed on older versions of Internet Explorer.

The quick annexation of resources was justified by means of these abstract rationalizations that needed to make some sort of sense only to the colonizer. The Requerimientos of our times are known as end-user license agreements (EULA) or statements of rights and responsibilities (SRR). These documents spell out how newly discovered resources and their presumed owners are to be treated by colonizers. For instance, an earlier version of Google Chrome’s EULA stated that “you give Google a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, and non-exclusive license to reproduce, adapt, modify, translate, publish, publicly perform, publicly display and distribute any Content which you submit, post or display on or through, the Services.”24 Meanwhile, Facebook’s privacy-settings page reassuringly informs users that “you’re in charge.

Like Opera Mini, Dolphin for iPad offers a Speed Dial starter page to stash links to your most frequently visited sites. Don’t like tapping around for bookmarks or tabs to jump to other sites? Dolphin for iPad lets you assign on-screen gestures to web addresses. For example, just trace the outline of the letter G across the iPad’s glass and Dolphin can take you to the Google home page. Google Chrome. You can’t get very far on the Web without running into a Google site or app, and the company happens to make a free, iPad-ready version of its popular Chrome browser.

Just as browser choice gave Housman a clue about job performance, it can identify brand preference for marketers. Since ads can be targeted by browser type you can easily put this information to profitable use: mainstream brands should target default browsers, such as Internet Explorer, and less orthodox choices should target non-default browsers, like Google Chrome. Crucially, it’s a signal that is rarely used by brands so it helps avoid the winner’s curse. When it comes to identifying target audiences, brands need to remember the words of legendary creative director, John Hegarty: When the world zigs, zag. 2. Identify the moment when a target audience becomes valuable Advertisers target ABC1s because they have a high disposable income.

Basically, when the gazelles are visiting the super-platform’s own apps and websites, the super-platforms can continue to track them and collect data on them, but third parties, like the smaller apps, cannot. So when a user activates the Do Not Track signal, “if he or she enters a query into the Google search engine, signs onto . . . Gmail, or uses Google Chrome or Android, he or she will still be allowing Google to gather information and use it to deliver targeted ads.”64 Here the Frenemy relationship is tilting toward capture. The proposed Do Not Track standard doesn’t really prevent tracking. Instead, the main function of the proposed standard “will be to limit the ability of any potential rivals to collect comparable data.”65 This is key as users spend more time on mobile phones, whose operating systems the super-platforms control, and on the super-platforms’ own apps and ser vices.

To target us with behavioral ads, the advertisers bid against each other on the Gamemaker’s advanced real-time automated bidding platform.88 For an example of how this works, let’s focus on display ads auctioned through Google’s Display Network, which, according to the company, “reaches 90% of Internet users worldwide, across millions of websites, news pages, blogs, and Google sites like Gmail and YouTube.”89 Suppose you want to make an Adirondack chair. In googling for free woodworking plans, you choose, from among the links, the website BuildEazy.90 As your web browser, say Safari or Google Chrome, opens the BuildEazy website, for an infinitesimal fraction of a second the opening page has an empty space marked for a display ad. Your browser sends a request to BuildEazy’s ad server to see if the ad space is already committed. Probably not—if BuildEazy’s New Zealand owner is like many small and mid-sized publishers.

“Pause on all exceptions” is a very useful option that is built in to most developer tools nowadays. The debugger will halt when an exception occurs, and highlight the line causing it. Batarang And then, of course, we have Batarang. Batarang is a Chrome extension that adds AngularJS knowledge to the built-in Developer Tools suite in Google Chrome. Once installed (you can get it from http://bit.ly/batarangjs), it adds another tab to the Developer Tools panel of Chrome called AngularJS. Have you ever wondered what the current state of your AngularJS application is? What each model, each scope, and each variable currently contains? How is the performance of your application?

(Imagine the backlash if the U.S. Postal Service started opening every letter, reading its contents, and inserting a contextually relevant advertisement. On the other hand, they do already scan the address information—the metadata—of every letter, cataloguing it for America’s intelligence services.) Some browsers, such as Google Chrome and Mozilla’s Firefox, have installed Do Not Track features, which are supposed to stymie the ability of advertisers, targeters, and ad networks to track browsing habits. But users must activate this capability in the browser’s settings, and as of March 2013, only 11.4 percent of desktop Firefox users had activated Do Not Track.

With this done, run the code on a handset or emulator, select a hyperlink, and then press the button to return to the previous page: 226 Chapter 10 How it works... We have introduced two new classes here: The WebView, which is an extension of View, and the WebViewClient, which belongs to the android.webkit package. The WebView acts like a canvas and is powered by Webkit which is the layout engine behind Google's Chrome and Apple's Safari browsers. It is not within the scope of this book to cover Webkit in any detail but the android.webkit package offers numerous ways to access and control web content from within an application and is well worth exploring. We created just a single button to go back one page with goBack() but WebView has many such functions and we could have buttons calling goForward() and reload() easily.

Clients trying to access another virtual host would then display warnings, since the certificate they received didn't match the website they were trying to access. Fortunately, most browsers now work with SNI; this includes Microsoft Internet Explorer starting with version 7.0 (starting on Vista), Mozilla Firefox starting with version 2.0, Apple Safari since version 3.2.1, and all versions of Google Chrome. The Apache package provided in Debian is built with support for SNI; no particular configuration is therefore needed, apart from enabling name-based virtual hosting on port 443 (SSL) as well as the usual port 80. This is a simple matter of editing /etc/apache2/ports.conf so it includes the following: <IfModule mod_ssl.c> NameVirtualHost *:443 Listen 443 </IfModule> Care should also be taken to ensure that the configuration for the first virtual host (the one used by default) does enable TLSv1, since Apache uses the parameters of this first virtual host to establish secure connections, and they had better allow them!

The development of ‘Robots will steal your job, but that is OK: how to survive the economic collapse and be happy’ was possible thanks to a crowdfunding campaign that I lunched on a website. The software used to write the book was mostly Free and Open Source (FOSS), running on an operating system which heavily relies on FOSS to work.220 The very browser you used to find my book is probably FOSS, too. Google Chrome, Firefox, Safari, they are all FOSS. But also Wikipedia, Creative Commons, many Flickr photos and videos on YouTube and Vimeo are released under some sort of free/open licenses. More recently, there has been a wave of Open Source projects throughout the whole spectrum, even physical objects such as flashlights, sensors, bicycles, solar panels, and 3D printers.

Differential privacy is a case in point. Over the past fifteen years, differential privacy has transitioned from a purely academic curiosity among theoretical computer scientists to a maturing technology trusted with protecting the statistical disclosures for the 2020 US Census and deployed at a large scale on iPhones and Google Chrome web browsers. Differential privacy offered a change from its predecessors in its precise definition of what it was supposed to guarantee, and this greatly aided its development. Of course, differential privacy does not promise us everything that we might mean when we use the English word privacy; no single definition could.

“You could hear a pin drop in the room when people were watching how stunningly slow things were, like Gmail in India,” says Gabriel Stricker, a Google PR director.1 In 2010, another Code Yellow was called to deal with the aftermath of Operation Aurora, a Chinese government cyberattack that rooted Google’s corporate network and allowed Chinese intelligence to steal information. In 2015, the Chromium team (the open source project that backs Google Chrome) called a Developer Productivity Code Yellow to improve performance so that it would be easier to attract and retain contributors. All of these are critical issues, but they all look different. They have different scopes. Only one presented itself as a traditional crisis. But in each case, the problem would have been difficult for a single team or solitary division to solve.

And what has now become an influential example of online design usability was so baffling when it was first unveiled that people couldn’t figure out how to use it. But the home page isn’t really Google at all. Google is the vast array of computer code and algorithms that allow the company to search the web and present those results. There are millions of lines of code behind a Google search—and millions more behind Google mail, Google Chrome, Google ads. If we can envision dozens, hundreds of ways of designing a search page, imagine for a moment the ways that all that computer code could be written. It’s like imagining the ways a book can be written, like imagining the ways a story could be told on screen. For Google, it is a story, just written in zeroes and ones.

Nginx HTTP Server Second Edition by Clement Nedelcu

It turns out to be particularly useful in situations resembling the following: server { […] server_name website.com; location /documents/ { type { } default_type text/plain; } } By default, if the client attempts to access http://website.com//documents/ (note the // in the middle of the URI), Nginx will return a 404 Not found HTTP error. If you enable this directive, the two slashes will be merged into one and the location pattern will be matched. Syntax: on or off Default value: off msie_padding Context: http, server, location This directive functions with the Microsoft Internet Explorer (MSIE) and Google Chrome browser families. In the case of error pages (with error code 400 or higher), if the length of the response body is less than 512 bytes, these browsers will display their own error page, sometimes at the expense of a more informative page provided by the server. If you enable this option, the body of responses with a status code of 400 or higher will be padded to 512 bytes.

And because the users’ computers weren’t updated, users had slow systems and security vulnerabilities, and were generally hassling their kids during holiday breaks. Rather than trying to optimize each complicated user experience around updates, we built a system, subsequently used by Google Toolbar and Google Chrome, that enabled us to update all software, including third-party applications, without bothering users. This was a much harder problem to solve, especially in light of the myriad installation processes that third-party software requires. But because we built this software, we were able to reach and help hundreds of millions of users.

Instagram started out as a very derivative copy of foursquare before switching its focus to mobile photos with a social edge. Google continues to fascinate as the search engine expands into areas like online video (YouTube), mobile (Android and the Nexus line of devices), email services (Gmail), Web browsers (Google Chrome), online social networking (Google+), and beyond (self-driving cars and Google Glasses). Amazon continues to squiggle by pushing beyond selling books online into e-readers (Kindle), selling shoes (Zappos), offering cloud computing technology (Amazon Web Services), and beyond. When you actually start digging down deep into how these companies have evolved and stayed relevant, you won’t see business models that look like anything from the playbooks of Kodak or RIM.

If there was no error we return the array of objects to the client using the send function of the response object, otherwise we log the error to the console. To test our API we need to do a little typing in a JavaScript console. Restart node and go to localhost:4711 in your browser. Open up the JavaScript console. If you are using Google Chrome, go to View->Developer->JavaScript Console. If you are using Firefox, install Firebug and go to View->Firebug. Most other browsers will have a similar console.

If a change is not required (by regulation, or for other reasons), achieving 80% or 90% adoption can have a measurable impact on reducing security risk, and should therefore be considered a success. Example: Increasing HTTPS usage HTTPS adoption on the web has increased dramatically in the last decade, driven by the concerted efforts of the Google Chrome team, Let’s Encrypt, and other organizations. HTTPS provides important confidentiality and integrity guarantees for users and websites, and is critical to the web ecosystem’s success—it’s now required as part of HTTP/2. To promote HTTPS use across the web, we conducted extensive research to build a strategy, contacted site owners using a variety of outreach channels, and set up powerful incentives for them to migrate.

Client-side and Windows software were different from most of Google’s existing product and system offerings at the time, so limited transferable security expertise was available within Google’s central security team. Since the project intended to begin and remain predominantly open source, it had unique development and operational requirements and could not rely on Google’s corporate security practices or solutions. This browser project ultimately launched as Google Chrome in 2008. Since then, Chrome has been credited as redefining the standard for online security and has become one of the world’s most popular browsers. Over the past decade, Chrome’s security-focused organization has gone through four rough stages of evolution: Team v0.1 Chrome did not formally establish a security team before its official launch in 2008, but relied on expertise distributed within the engineering team, along with consulting from Google’s central security team and third-party security vendors.

Understanding what sites people visit, what content they view, what products they buy and even their geographic coordinates will allow advertisers to better target individual consumers. And more of that knowledge will reside with technology companies than with content producers. Google, for instance, will know much more about each user than will the proprietor of any one news site. It can track users’ online behavior through its Droid software on mobile phones, its Google Chrome Web browser, its search engine and its new tablet software. The ability to target users is why Apple wants to control the audience data that goes through the iPad. And the company that may come to know the most about you is Facebook, with which users freely share what they like, where they go and who their friends are.5 For those who desire to create art and culture—or “content,” to use that horrible, flattening word—the shift is significant.

On Twitter, the sidebar to the left of the screen offers a list of other users that you might be interested in, under the banner “Who to follow”. For those who feel that keeping whom is critical to keeping English expressive and clear, this is a travesty. And such people are nothing if not motivated: there is an extension for Google Chrome that will, for anyone who installs it, turn “Who to follow” into “Whom to follow”. The extension has 575 users and a nearly perfect user rating. Its creator is Thomas Steiner, a German systems analyst at Google. Steiner explained to me via Twitter that his English teachers worked hard to drill whom into him, and that it seemed a crime to replace a “historically grown” bit of English grammar with a “miserable who”.

Langford tells me of a ‘revenge porn’ website that is hosted in Germany, where he estimates at least half the videos and images are of people – mostly British girls – under the age of eighteen. He’s been trying to get the German internet service provider to act for weeks, but to no avail. The overwhelming majority of the material investigated by the IWF is on the surface web, accessible with a normal browser like Google Chrome, usually hosted in countries where domestic police are uninterested, incapable or under-resourced. Often, a link will take users to a ‘cyber-locker’, a hacked website where files are stored without the owner realising. Around a quarter of all referrals received by the IWF are from commercial sites, which ask for credit card payment for access and are advertised through spam mail.

Now that you know what you did wrong, you can exit the debugger by hitting Ctrl-D and fix the problem by removing the var keyword from line 8: var a = 0; function init() { a = 1; } function incr() { a = a + 1; } init(); console.log('a before: %d', a); incr(); console.log('a after: %d', a); Run the application again: $ node my_app.js a before: 1 a after: 2 Now the output is what you expected; the bug is fixed. USING NODE INSPECTOR Another debugging tool you might find helpful is Node Inspector. Instead of using a text-only debugger, this one provides a graphical interface by bringing the full-fledged Google Chrome inspector to your Node app using a web browser. You can install Node Inspector globally like this: $ npm install -g node-inspector Node Inspector runs as a daemon by default on port 8080. You can launch it like this: $ node-inspector & This sends the node-inspector process to the background.

Without Google apps on Samsung phones—which are now half of all Android sales—half of Google’s mobile advertising base disappears. Andy Rubin is no longer the Google executive to query about Android’s future. In early 2013 he handed Android’s reigns to Sundar Pichai, who had also been running Google Chrome. Pichai has long been a favorite of Page’s and is well regarded as a seasoned manager. That is something Android needs now that it has grown to include hundreds of Googlers worldwide. Such leadership is something Rubin, more of an entrepreneur than an executive, didn’t enjoy providing, according to friends.

On December 16, 2005, the New York Times included a two-page spread advertising the Firefox browser—with the name of every single one of the 10,000 donors who funded the ad in tiny type.27 Internet Explorer lost dramatic market share to Firefox, and eventually lost market dominance to Firefox and a host of other browsers like Google Chrome.28 Think of how incredible it is: One of the largest—and wealthiest—companies in the world (Microsoft) lost its market dominance to a free product made by a bunch of volunteers, led by a nineteen-year-old with a marketing budget funded by a large number of other volunteers. Firefox is only the tip of the iceberg; almost every major software product out there has a significant open-source competitor, with lots of small firms—like mine—helping to implement and maintain that software for other companies.

Attention is organised by far more exact demographics, indexed to clicks, searches, shares, messages, views, reacts, scrolls, pauses: the complete digital package. Google has an even more comprehensive set of tools. It is not just the search engine which allows Google to see what people are up to online. They have the Google Chrome browser, their Gmail service, their DNS server, YouTube, website analytics, Google Translate, Google Reader, Google Maps and Google Earth. They can analyse messages, contacts, travel routes and the shops visited by users. They have a deal with Twitter, giving them access to all tweets. Users hand over immense amounts of raw material to the platforms every time they access the app.

They have learned that what passengers are typically willing to pay is related to the computer they have (Mac users get higher prices than non-Mac users), the type of web browser they use, and their physical location when they sign in.10 (Incidentally, Orbitz is owned by Expedia, and the former CEO of Expedia became the new CEO of Uber in August 2017;11 the former CEO of Orbitz, Barney Harford, was hired by Uber to be the chief operating officer a few months later.)12 Although some argue that users should have a vested privacy interest in their phone’s battery data or their geolocation, these variables are absorbed into pricing calculations by many software services. Data-driven sorting and customer segmentation are used across a variety of industries. For example, research by Evolv, a workplace data company, suggests that applicants who installed new web browsers onto their computers, like Google Chrome, rather than using the default, like Safari, were 15 percent more likely to stay at their jobs.13 We can imagine that all sorts of personal data could be used to signal to platforms how we might perform as workers or what we’re willing to pay as customers. How information is represented to us is a source of great tension in technology culture beyond Uber.

Another company using a big data approach discovered a variable that was vastly more predictive of a good employee than any other: it wasn’t their level of educational attainment or a variable on a personality test – no, it turned out that the best employees had overwhelmingly made their online application using either Google Chrome or Firefox as their browser, rather than the standard one supplied on their computers. While I can see that replacing a browser on a laptop may be indicative of certain qualities – conscientiousness, technological competence and the willingness to defer gratification, to name just three – is it acceptable to use this information to discriminate between employees?

The Book of CSS3 by Peter Gasston

centre right, disruptive innovation, en.wikipedia.org, Firefox, Google Chrome, Great Leap Forward, Salesforce, web application, wikimedia commons

Back in 2006, I started CSS3.info, and Peter joined me in writing posts about the development of the standard and real-life examples of what it looked like in browsers. Although I started the site, Peter was always the most prolific writer, and it’s only fitting that while I wrote this foreword, he wrote the book. CSS3 has finally gone mainstream. With the new age of browsers (such as Firefox 4, Google Chrome, and Internet Explorer 9), we as a web design community are finally getting the power and flexibility we’ve been waiting for. We can now manage media queries for different browsers, have smarter background images, and handle fonts in a way that doesn’t drive us nuts. If you plan on using CSS3, this book is the most hands-on guide you’ll find.

Finally, Tencent took the nuclear option: on November 3, 2010, Tencent announced that it would block the use of QQ messaging on any computer that had Qihoo 360, forcing users to choose between the two products. It was the equivalent of Facebook telling users it would block Facebook access for anyone using Google Chrome. The companies were waging total war against each other, with Chinese users’ computers as the battleground. Qihoo appealed to users for a three-day “QQ strike,” and the government finally stepped in to separate the bloodied combatants. Within a week both QQ and Qihoo 360 had returned to normal functioning, but the scars from these kinds of battles lingered with the entrepreneurs and companies.

Absorbing that truth has turned out to be incredibly valuable for me, making me a better programmer and even, believe it or not, a decent manager. These days at Google, I’m working mostly virtually but spending less time alone and more time with my team of ten designers and engineers, developing new features for Google Chrome. It took me forever to figure this out, but one excellent benefit of working with a team if you’re instinctually a lone wolf is that you can’t spend unhealthy amounts of time in your own head. With more feedback, you’re not working in a vacuum, so you’re probably going to come up with a product that resonates with more people—a better product.

In the years after Arthur’s paper was published, billions of us ran madly along a course he had anticipated: We crashed our way as fast as possible into those single, winning businesses, rewarding them with near-monopoly positions in exchange for the benefits of being “inside.” In the twenty years since Arthur spotted increasing returns in software, nine-billion-user worlds have emerged—and others are not far behind. Microsoft Office and Windows, Google Search, Google Maps, Facebook, WhatsApp, Google Chrome, YouTube, and Android all have more than a billion users, and each exhibits that appealing “If you use it, I’ll use it!” logic. Profits and power, just as Arthur would have expected, followed right along. It was just as Arthur predicted: If ten people use WhatsApp or Facebook or YouTube, it’s hard for the eleventh to do something different.

Its Android mobile operating system powers most smartphones in the world with a whopping 85% market share.7 It has tied the Android operating system to its own search engine, and it has tied Android to its own app store, effectively becoming the gatekeeper to what apps and companies consumers can access. It uses its dominance in browsers to its own advantage as well. Its Chrome browser has 60% market share globally.8 Google's Chrome browser will block certain types of online advertisements. It is also now effectively the gatekeeper to what kind of ads consumers can see. Mysteriously, the ads that are blocked are the kinds its competitors use, but not its own. Google argues its new ad blocking is the work of a collective, industry-wide effort to get rid of annoying ads.

They’re going to be rating them, they’re going to be reviewing them. They’re going to be marking them up... Indeed, Google already offers the ability to block certain results, and to vote for a page with the +1 button. The separate mention of “web pages” may be another reason why the release of Google Chrome (http://www.google.com/chrome) was so important. Tapping into the web browser market might lead to that ability to annotate and rate those pages and further help Google identify what content interests the user. As of October 2011, StatCounter showed that Chrome’s market share had risen to 25% (http://www.tomshardware.com/news/browser-wars-chrome-firefox-ie-market-share,13875.html).

Instead, they were told to write that they worked for a “private biotechnology company.” Some former employees received cease-and-desist letters from Theranos lawyers for posting descriptions of their jobs at the company that were deemed too detailed. Balwani routinely monitored employees’ emails and internet browser history. He also prohibited the use of Google Chrome on the theory that Google could use the web browser to spy on Theranos’s R&D. Employees who worked at the office complex in Newark were discouraged from using the gym there because it might lead them to mingle with workers from other companies that leased space at the site. In the part of the clinical lab dubbed “Normandy,” partitions were erected around the Edisons so that Siemens technicians wouldn’t be able to see them when they came to service the German manufacturer’s machines.

The security implications of this decision reached far and wide. Before the end of 2020, all major browsers would have to phase out their Flash support, as integrating software that is not receiving security updates is a great risk for browsers, which are used by millions of people every single day. So, the team at Chromium, the technology behind Google Chrome, set a roadmap to phase out Flash support over several years. One particular step along the way was disabling the flash plugin by default by July 2019. After that point, the user of Chrome would have to reactivate Flash every single time they started the browser. When this change was a few months away, the developer community started talking about it.

I've said before that conflicting missions can be a problem. The best answer I know is to turn the conflict into competition. In software, we do this by making standards that teams can build on. Take for example the HTTP standard that powers the web. Any team can build a web server or a web browser. This lets teams compete. So Google's Chrome browser emerged as a lightweight, faster alternative to Firefox, which was getting bloated and slow. Then, the Firefox team took performance seriously, and now Firefox is faster than Chrome. TIP: When there is an interesting problem, try to get multiple teams competing to solve it. Competition is great fun and can produce better answers than monopolized problems.

The promise of machine learning is to find characteristics of good risks, as identified by past lending, that might be shared by people now locked out of lending. For example, it may turn out that good credit risks tend to get at least seven hours of sleep a night (as roughly measured by phone inactivity), use Google Chrome as their web browser, and buy organic food. Individually, none of these correlations may be strong. Once they reach a certain critical mass, a new and dynamic big data–driven profile of the good credit risk may emerge. Micro-lenders are already using traits like internet activity to decide on loan applications.

The first generation of screening algorithms was primitive, merely searching résumés for particular keywords; these keywords could range from skill sets like Microsoft Excel proficiency to prestigious markers like names of Ivy League schools or distinctions such as summa cum laude. Because inequality is so entrenched in our society, every data point about a job candidate risks being tainted. Technology can move us toward equality by masking data that may contribute most immediately to biased hiring. The Google Chrome extension Unbias, for example, removes faces and names from LinkedIn profiles, and software from companies like Interviewing.io, Ideal, and Entelo anonymizes applicants’ names and identities.20 But there is an inherent limit to what can be removed. Ideal boasts that it can help companies screen thousands of candidates in seconds while removing “every trace of subconscious bias from that initial screening process,” thereby ensuring that companies start with the most diverse candidate pool possible to give them the best possible chances of hiring the most diverse workforce.21 Once its algorithm strips the applicant’s gender, age, and even name, Ideal standardizes its matching between candidates’ experience, knowledge, and skills and the requirements of the job for which they’re applying.

Do not send money to any of the addresses shown in this book. The private keys are listed in the book and someone will immediately take that money. Now that we’ve covered some basic best practices for key management and security, let’s get to work using MetaMask! Getting Started with MetaMask Open the Google Chrome browser and navigate to https://chrome.google.com/webstore/category/extensions. Search for “MetaMask” and click on the logo of a fox. You should see something like the result shown in Figure 2-1. Figure 2-1. The detail page of the MetaMask Chrome extension It’s important to verify that you are downloading the real MetaMask extension, as sometimes people are able to sneak malicious extensions past Google’s filters.

The fear of developers at that time was that web apps written for IE would run only on Windows, since there was functionality for IE that differed from that on Netscape’s browser. His response, somewhat tongue-in-cheek (but somewhat not) was that cross platform wouldn’t be a concern when everyone ran IE and Windows. 244 There’s a video on YouTube that the Chrome team posted in 2010, “Google Chrome Speed Tests” that proves the point by comparing website loading speed to a potato gun, sound waves, and lightning. It’s not clear how websites or browsers relate to any of these things, but it’s pretty funny and gets the point across. 245 Headless essentially means a computer without a display.

Synthetic media will also make it harder to prove that those spreading this propaganda are trolls and not your next-door neighbor. Since lazy front-end foes often pull their Twitter avatars or Facebook photos from photos of celebrities and other publicly available images, one easy trick used to expose trolls is a “reverse image search”—essentially googling the web for other occurrences of that photo. Web browsers like Google Chrome even allow you to perform these reverse image searches with the simple right-click of a mouse. Astute social media users have outed trolls posing as Israeli supermodel Bar Refaeli, for instance.38 But what happens when the trolls’ profile pictures are deepfakes, and those reverse image searches come up empty?

It went beyond search and email, broadened into word processing, databases, blogging, social media networks, cloud hosting, mobile platforms, browsers, navigation aids, cloud-based laptops, and a whole range of office and productivity applications. It could be hard to keep track of them all: Gmail, Google Docs, Google Drive, Google Maps, Android, Google Play, Google Cloud, YouTube, Google Translate, Google Hangouts, Google Chrome, Google+, Google Sites, Google Developer, Google Voice, Google Analytics, Android TV. It blasted beyond pure Internet services and delved into fiber-optic telecommunication systems, tablets, laptops, home security cameras, self-driving cars, shopping delivery, robots, electric power plants, life extension technology, cyber security, and biotech.

Google’s mobile operating system, Android, was in use in phones and tablets from many companies, and the Android slice of the tablet market soon surpassed Apple’s. With Android, developers saw the re-emergence of an open platform. The idea of browser as operating system came to fruition when Google released its Chrome OS in 2009. Built on top of a Linux kernel, its user interface was initially little more than the Google Chrome web browser. Chrome OS was the commercial version of an open source project, Chromium, which opened the source code for others to build on. Laptop computers were soon being built to run Chrome OS natively. Although Apple was setting the bar in each of these new product categories and profiting greatly from them, it wasn’t necessarily leading in sales.

Created new window in existing browser session. On many platforms, Jupyter will automatically open up in your default web browser (unless you start it with --no-browser). Otherwise, you can navigate to the HTTP address printed when you started the notebook, here http://localhost:8888/. See Figure 2-1 for what this looks like in Google Chrome. Note Many people use Jupyter as a local computing environment, but it can also be deployed on servers and accessed remotely. I won’t cover those details here, but encourage you to explore this topic on the internet if it’s relevant to your needs. Figure 2-1. Jupyter notebook landing page To create a new notebook, click the New button and select the “Python 3” or “conda [default]” option.

In [1]: import pandas In [2]: plot(arange(10)) If successful, there should be no error messages and a plot window will appear. You can also check that the IPython HTML notebook can be successfully run by typing: $ ipython notebook --pylab=inline Caution If you use the IPython notebook application on Windows and normally use Internet Explorer, you will likely need to install and run Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome instead. EPDFree on Windows contains only 32-bit executables. If you want or need a 64-bit setup on Windows, using EPD Full is the most painless way to accomplish that. If you would rather install from scratch and not pay for an EPD subscription, Christoph Gohlke at the University of California, Irvine, publishes unofficial binary installers for all of the book’s necessary packages (http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/) for 32- and 64-bit Windows.

Enter the command shown in Listing 6-7 at the debug prompt.exec("message") Listing 6-7.Evaluating an Expression in the Node.js Debugger Press Return, and the debugger will display the value of the message variable, producing the following output:'Hello, TypeScript' Type help and press Return to see a list of commands. Press Control+C twice to end the debugging session and return to the regular command prompt. Using the Remote Node.js Debugging Feature The integrated Node.js debugger is useful but awkward to use. The same features can be used remotely using the Google Chrome developer tools feature. First, start Node.js by running the command shown in Listing 6-8 in the tools folder. node --inspect-brk dist/index.js Listing 6-8.Starting Node.js in Remote Debugger Mode The inspect-brk argument starts the debugger and halts execution immediately.

Verizon, Microsoft, and others are working on a set-top box that can monitor what’s going on in the room, and serve ads based on that information. It’s less Big Brother, and more hundreds of tattletale little brothers. Today, Internet surveillance is far more insistent than cookies. In fact, there’s a minor arms race going on. Your browser—yes, even Google Chrome—has extensive controls to block or delete cookies, and many people enable those features. DoNotTrackMe is one of the most popular browser plug-ins. The Internet surveillance industry has responded with “flash cookies”—basically, cookie-like files that are stored with Adobe’s Flash player and remain when browsers delete their cookies.

A better verbal translation of this quantity would involve reversing ProPublica’s syntax: defendants “who did not re-offend but were rated as higher risk.” For some discussion on this point, see https://twitter.com/scorbettdavies/status/842885585240956928. 33. See Dwork et al., “Calibrating Noise to Sensitivity in Private Data Analysis.” Google Chrome began using differential privacy in 2014, Apple deployed it in its macOS Sierra and iOS 10 operating systems in 2016, and other tech companies have followed suit with many related ideas and implementations. In 2017, Dwork and her colleagues from the 2006 paper would share the Gödel Prize for their work. 34.

This is a high-stakes, high-reliability field, in which many lessons relevant to reliability in the face of government regulations and human risk were learned as the technology received FDA approval, gradually improved, and finally became ubiquitous. Gus Hartmann and Kevin Greer have experience in the telecommunications industry, including maintaining the E911 emergency response system.1 Kevin is currently a software engineer on the Google Chrome team and Gus is a systems engineer for Google’s Corporate Engineering team. User expectations of the telecom industry demand high reliability. Implications of a lapse of service range from user inconvenience due to a system outage to fatalities if E911 goes down. Ron Heiby is a Technical Program Manager for Site Reliability Engineering at Google.

As the young organization hit its stride, other fantastic products emerged, and eventually we were introduced to Google Calendar, Google Contacts, Google Maps, Google Earth, Google Voice, Google Docs, Google Street View, Google Translate, Google Drive, Google Photos (Picasa), Google Video (YouTube), Google Chrome, Google+, and Google Android, to name but a few. One by one, services such as phone calls, translation, maps, and word processing—services for which we would previously have paid hundreds of dollars (think Microsoft’s Office)—were now suddenly free. The most benevolent interpretation of this bounty would be that Google was merely providing products the public wanted, satisfying our ever-growing technological needs (and those of advertisers).

To use Kerberos-protected web interfaces, users must present a valid ticket for the service. For Windows users, this can work out of the box for services within the same login domain as the user, since Microsoft Active Directory automatically obtains a TGT on login, which can be used to obtain a service ticket. Microsoft Internet Explorer and Google Chrome can use this ticket automatically and Mozilla Firefox can be easily configured to do the same. For Windows users who are not in a realm trusted by the cluster KDC, MIT Kerberos provides an installable utility (MIT Kerberos for Windows) that allows users to obtain new tickets alongside their default tickets for the cluster realm.

To access this system, start your locally running web server as described in the preceding section and then point your browser to the following URL (or do the right thing for whatever other web server you may be using): http://localhost:8000/pymailcgi.html If you do, the server will ship back a page such as that captured in Figure 16-2, shown rendered in the Google Chrome web browser client on Windows 7. I’m using Chrome instead of Internet Explorer throughout this chapter for variety, and because it tends to yield a concise page which shows more details legibly. Open this in your own browser to see it live—this system is as portable as the Web, HTML, and Python-coded CGI scripts.
