Following pointers from Ned Batchelder's recent excursion into
code generation led me to another nice example of the power of
dynamic languages. In order to streamline his use of C++, Ned wrote a
little tool called
cog which
enables him to embed, in C++ programs, Python fragments that generate
verbose and/or repetitive C++ constructs. He adds:
For more about code generation in general, try:
-
Dave Thomas interviewed about code generation.
Dave Thomas is one of the Pragmatic Programmers, and I find I agree with him
almost universally. He forbids putting the output of code generators
under source control, I encourage it. We agree that the output should
never be edited.
- The Code Generation page on the c2 wiki. As will
happen with a wiki, this fractures off in many directions, with many
different viewpoints, both for and against code generation.

Gamblers Better Protected than Voters
Gamblers Better Protected than Voters
06/14/2004 01:54 AMNY Times: Gambling
on Voting. Election officials say their electronic voting
systems are the very best. But the truth is, gamblers are getting the
best technology, and voters are being given systems that are cheap and
untrustworthy by comparison. There are many questions yet to be
resolved about electronic voting, but one thing is clear: a vote for
president should be at least as secure as a 25-cent bet in Las
Vegas.
The Times is on a roll, with one editorial
after another challenging the voting-machine industry's lies and
deceptions -- and voting officials' perverse willingness to accept a
dangerously flawed system. This is a case where the editorial page is
doing much more serious reporting than the newspaper's "news" staff.
In fact, the Times Editorial Board is doing what most other major
media -- with a few exceptions (one of which, I'm glad to say, is the
San Jose Mercury News, which
has hammered on this issue for more than a year) -- have all but
ignored. The Times can make more of a difference to spur safe,
reliable voting than almost any other non-governmental institution.
Keep it up, folks. There's not much at stake, just trust in the
democratic process.

Making Copy Protected CDs Cheaper?
Making Copy Protected CDs Cheaper?
07/21/2004 08:22 PMThe head of Atlantic Records UK seems to be recognizing the fact that
copy protection doesn't provide consumers with anything of value, and
he has an interesting idea on how to deal with this fact:
make copy
protected CDs cheaper than those without copy protection. What if
you had an option to buy a copy protected CD at a discount, or an
"open" CD at a premium? While it's surprising to see a recording
industry exec admit the lower value of a copy protected CD, we all
know what would happen. Most people would buy the cheaper CD, and
proceed to use some sort of workaround to deal with the copy
protection. Unfortunately, this also opens the door to the concept of
use-based pricing for music. Want to play that CD on a stereo?
That'll be $15. Want to play it on a computer also? $17.50. In your
car? $20. On your portable music player? $25.

Copy Protected CD's are Worthless
06/17/2005 03:50 PMWhat is it going to take to get the music recoding and production
industry to wake up. After all how many people actually listen to an
actual CD these days. My 99 disk CD player was sold at a garage sale
several years ago, and the only thing I play now is music from the
file server in my office piped into my stereo via WiFi.
If your pissed off about these anti-copying techniques, then you
need to start speaking out. When you buy a CD that has these
restrictions call the companies and tell them what you think. Until
you stand up for your rights and demand fair use, the recording
industry is not going to stop.
Consumers have a choice, and if we step out and say were not going
to take it anymore, they will listen. But this takes a lot of people
calling them out. So let's get busy. [Techdirt<

Book Written In Txt
Book Written In Txt
01/28/2004 03:38 PMLast year there were a few stories about
teacher
s freaking out when their students were handing in papers written in
"txt" shorthand. I imagine those same teachers won't be all that
pleased to find out that someone has now
come out
with an entire book written in texting slang. The book (written
in French SMS slang) is aimed at kids to try to get them to stop
smoking - but I wonder if it will be used to get them to show their
teachers a "legitimate" use of txt slang. Of course, my guess is that
any book written by an adult, trying to use the shorthand that kids
use and trying to get them not to smoke is only going to get mocked.
However, not being a kid, not knowing French and not knowing "txt"
speak, I'm not really in a position to judge the quality of the book.
Still, if we thought English teachers were sticklers for students not
using texting shorthand, I can't imagine how angry the French language
keepers are going to be. The French, of course, are notorious for
trying to micromanage their language to keep impurities out. These
are the same folks who had to come up with
their own
French words for internet related terms, because they couldn't
have their language
pollute
d by English.

Is A Stickman Protected Under

Is A Stickman Protected Under
Intellectual Property Laws?
07/16/2004 01:59 PMA Chinese internet cartoonist who has created a series of Flash movies
using traditional stickmen is
suing shoe giant Nike for their commercials using animated
stickmen. Not knowing much about intellectual property rules in
China, it's tough to tell what this case falls under. I'll leave it
to the lawyers to discuss the actual claims (the article doesn't
describe specifically what he's suing for), but it is an interesting
question. Obviously, the "stick man" has been around for ages. So,
it's tough to claim IP control over that. However, is it protected to
then take and animate the stick man? I'm not sure. I pretty clearly
remember as kid creating flip books of animated stickmen in the
margins of random books.

Have We Written Off Cold Fusion Too
Soon?
04/23/2004 01:32 PMFusion research is generally considered something of a pseudo-science
in some circles as almost every major announcement in the field is
later disproven or made highly questionable when the results weren't
reproducible. However, some researchers won't give up, and some are
saying that, while it may still be early, some of the
experiments are showing reproducible results, suggesting that
there may actually be something to the theories. After so many people
have been burned by cold fusion claims, it makes sense to remain
skeptical for now, but maybe the science isn't as pseudo as some
believed.
