General Responsibility Assignment Software Patterns (or Principles), abbreviated GRASP, consists of guidelines for assigning responsibility to classes and objects in object-oriented design.

Rich Hickey discusses simplicity, why it is important, how to achieve it in design and how to recognize its absence in the tools, language constructs and libraries.

"sigma.js is an open-source lightweight JavaScript library to draw graphs, using the HTML canvas element. It has been especially designed to: Display interactively static graphs exported from a graph visualization software - like Gephi Display dynamically graphs that are generated on the fly"

Pamflet is a publishing application for short texts, particularly user documentation of open-source software. It is designed to be easy to write and read on any platform.

"Joyent Triton™ is designed from the ground up to radically simplify container deployments in production, at scale, while delivering enterprise-grade security, software-defined networking, and bare-metal performance. Deploy Triton Elastic Container Infrastructure in your datacenter or leverage the Triton Elastic Container Infrastructure Service in the Joyent Public Cloud."

Pacto judges the contracts between consumers and providers of RESTful services. It can aid in designing realistic test doubles, by ensuring the double complies with the same contract as the real service. It can also aid with service evolution patterns, like Consumer-Driven Contracts or Documentation-Driven Contracts. Pacto ensures consumers meet their contractual obligations: Send the required HTTP request headers Send an appropriate request body (when required) Pacto also ensures providers meet their contractual obligations: Send an appropriate response code Send the required HTTP response headers Send an appropriate response body Pacto can also ensure the provider and consumer collaborate appropriately. It can ensure that for a given scenario: The consumer calls the expected service(s) with a valid request The provider sends a valid response No unexpected services were called

"Polipo is a small and fast caching web proxy (a web cache, an HTTP proxy, a proxy server). While Polipo was designed to be used by one person or a small group of people, there is nothing that prevents it from being used by a larger group. Polipo has some features that are, as far as I know, unique among currently available proxies: Polipo will use HTTP/1.1 pipelining if it believes that the remote server supports it, whether the incoming requests are pipelined or come in simultaneously on multiple connections (this is more than the simple usage of persistent connections, which is done by e.g. Squid); Polipo will cache the initial segment of an instance if the download has been interrupted, and, if necessary, complete it later using Range requests; Polipo will upgrade client requests to HTTP/1.1 even if they come in as HTTP/1.0, and up- or downgrade server replies to the client's capabilities (this may involve conversion to or from the HTTP/1.1 chunked encoding); Polipo has complete support for IPv6 (except for scoped (link-local) addresses). Polipo can optionally use a technique known as Poor Man's Multiplexing to reduce latency even further. In short, Polipo uses a plethora of techniques to make web browsing (seem) faster."

Asombroso: un paper de 1994 de investigadores de Sun en el cual concluyen que "RPC" está roto de varias maneras y que no se puede arreglar con ninguna implementación. Ummm... ¿de qué año era CORBA? ¿de qué año era EJB?

"In this article, we discuss the three-way relationship between three such desirable features - fairness, isolation, and throughput (FIT) - and argue that only two out of the three of them can be achieved simultaneously."
