We may soon know the identity of Deep Throat. It seems that Bob Woodward has penned the obituary of the elusive Deep Throat. There have been no lack of theories for who might actually be Deep Throat. And of course, any political conspiracy theory secret wouldn't be any fun without tying it back to Bush somehow.

XAML and... Swing


XAML and... Swing 12/30/2003 01:17 AM

Let's see. There's this new language+API. It is, in theory platform independent. It's pretty high level. Below the high-level description, it runs on top of a virtual machine. It's verbose. Some people say it will never work.

Gotta be Swing, right?

How about XAML?

On Saturday Sam commented on a XAML example. He makes a number of good points. Which jump-started earlier XAML-related musings.

XAML will be Windows-only, so in that sense the comparison is stretched. But this is a matter of practice, in theory an XML-based language could be made portable (when there's a will there's a way). XAML was compared a lot to Mozilla's XUL, and rightly so, but I think there are some parallels between it and Swing as well.

One big difference that XAML will have, for sure, is that it will have a nice UI designer, something that Swing still lacks. On the other hand, I think that whatever code an automated designer generates will be horribly bloated. And who will be able to write XAML by hand? And: the problem of "bytecode protection" in Java comes back with XAML, but with a vengeance. How will the code be protected? Obfuscation of XML code? Really? How would it be validated then? And why hasn't anyone talked about this.

And another thing: Sun has shown in the past few years that they've taken a liking to countering Microsoft announcements with some of their own. ie., MS comes out with Web services, they come out with web services. MS does X, Sun does it too, but in Java. One wish: that Sun would ignore XAML and just continue improving Swing, and create a simple, good UI designer for Swing. Supposedly Project Rave will do this... but here's hoping there won't be any course corrections simply to show up Microsoft. Please, pretty please, Sun.

On a related note, Robert says this regarding XAML:

[...] you will see some business build two sites: one in HTML and one in XAML. Why? Because they'll be able to offer their customers experiences that are impossible to deliver in HTML.
Come on, Robert, these days, when everyone's resources are stretched to the limit, when CIOs want to squeeze every possible drop of code from their people, when everyone works 60-hour weeks as a matter of common practice, are you seriously saying that companies will have two teams to develop a single website? Is this Microsoft's selling point? "Here, just retrain all of your people, and double the size and expense of your development team, and you'll be fine."

Of course not. Most companies will have one team, not two. Hence, logically, either people will use it or won't, without a lot of middle ground in between. That leaves two possibilities: 1) XAML will be niche and never really used a lot (think ActiveX, or, hey, even Java Applets!) or 2) XAML will kill HTML.

Which one do you think Microsoft is betting on?


swt and swing, cont'd.


swt and swing, cont'd. 01/06/2004 08:01 AM

Yesterday Russ was ranting (his term :)) on how Sun was botching it by not getting behind SWT, because SWT is, in his view, better than Swing. I have written about both a few times before, more recently in this short review of my initial impressions of developing with SWT, and earlier here , here and here among others. Specifically on what Russ is saying I had a couple of things to add. One is that, although I'm obviously partial on this :), I think that clevercactus shows that Swing interfaces need not feel out of place, or be slow, or whatever. And I think it looks better than LimeWire too :). IDEA is also a fine example IMO. However, it's true that all of that is subjective and that for hard-core Windows users there are small differences. For power users in particular the differences might indeed be difficult to accept. The situation is much better in other platforms though.

That aside, there is the other matter that Russ mentions, that of Sun not joining the Eclipse consortium. The main reason given for this is that, for all its platform appeal Eclipse is still, at heart, an IDE toolkit. If you doubt that's true, spend some time perusing the Eclipse APIs, and you'll notice how many times you have to use components from within the IDE package rather than "platform" packages (e.g., "org.eclipse.swt"). Restated, what I mean is that the boundaries between platform and IDE APIs are not clear at all, and I guess that some people would say that's precisely the point, Eclipse is both an IDE and a platform, and that's fine. Fine indeed, but what does that matter? Well, keep in mind that Sun has NetBeans to take care of. With its own community, and plugins, and additional tools, and so on. Were Sun to ditch NetBeans in favor of Eclipse as a platform, they would have to a) port all sorts of plugins and code to the new platform, not to mention "convert" their community, both of open source developers and third party developers, to Eclipse. This is by no means impossible, but it's not easy either.

Then there is the small matter of SWT. If Sun joined Eclipse, SWT would have to be included in the JDK would it not? Sun would have to maintain and release simultaneously three different windowing toolkits for each release: AWT, Swing, and SWT. That doesn't sound good either. And while I like some things of SWT, ditching Swing completely is to me not an option.

Why?

First, Swing does run on every single platform that the full JDK runs on. For example, some users today are running clevercactus on OS/2. That would be impossible if cc were written in SWT.

Second, Swing is, for all its complexity (or perhaps because of it) and incredibly rich and flexible toolkit. Much more so than SWT. Surely this will change as SWT evolves, but that's the reality at the moment. With SWT you are forced to write custom components more often than with Swing, as I discovered when I worked for about a week replicating the clevercactus UI using SWT.

And, finally (although this is a small matter compared to the two above), SWT still requires release of resources "by hand". I find this a horrible step back. Moreover, debugging becomes more difficult. Something might fail not just on your java code, not just on the SWT-to-Native code (say, if you're running it on Windows), but something might also fail at the Native component level. Suddenly bugs have to be tracked on three levels. SWT will be buggy for a while, particularly on non-Win32 platforms (Win32 support is pretty good). And Native errors are very difficult to pin down.

Please note, these are not reasons why "Swing is better than SWT" but reasons why I think Swing can't be discarded at the moment and for some time to come. And that puts Sun in a difficult position.

Ideally, yes, Sun would join Eclipse, ditch AWT in favor of SWT keeping the latter as an alternative to Swing, plus using something like the SWTSwing project to bridge between both worlds. But for the moment, staying out of Eclipse might have been a good choice by Sun to avoid creating even more confusion.

Chill, Toronto


Chill, Toronto 08/17/2004 07:26 PM
Cool! Toronto's Deep Lake Water Cooling System was launched today. The system cuts electricity consumption in commercial buildings by 75 per cent by drawing near-freezing water through pipes extending five kilometres out into Lake Ontario. According to the city, the system will save enough power to service more than 100 Toronto office towers or 4,200 homes per year, and it will eliminate 40,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide. Here's a public television segment explaining the process. Seems like it makes a nice complement to the lakeshore wi ndmill.

Is It Against The Law To Put The Name Of
The Toronto Airport On The Web?


Is It Against The Law To Put The Name Of
The Toronto Airport On The Web?
11/13/2003 05:16 PM
Sometimes you have to wonder about folks who are very quick to dash off legal threats to websites that happen to mention their name. The site Urinal.net is a (surprisingly) popular website posting pictures of urinals from around the world. They were recently profiled in the Wall Street Journal and on BBC radio among others. The site has hundreds of fans who regularly submit pictures of urinals they take from locations all over the world. Basically, it's the sort of bizarre, but amusing, site that makes the internet fun. Not everyone seems to get the fun part, though. Someone from the Greater Toronto Airports Authority (the GTAA) happened to find a page on the site that includes two completely normal photos of urinals from the Toronto Lester B. Pearson International Airport, and decided that this must be illegal. They've sent an email threatening legal action against the site if they did not remove the name of the airport from the site. The site's owners complied, but were clear to mention that the GTAA had muted them. In response, the GTAA has also told them they cannot even mention the GTAA. Again, the site has complied in very amusing fashion. The description of the airport now reads: "The [facility in question] - covering 1,792 hectares (4,430 acres) - has been [Canada's largest city's] main international [aircraft take-off and landing facility] since 1939 when it was first known as Malton [facility]." They also note that the "Gee-Tee-Aye-Aye" forbids them from naming the actual airport. It makes you wonder, on what legal authority the GTAA is claiming you cannot name their organization or their airports. It's not likely that anyone is going to be confused into believing that urinal.net is the official website of the Toronto Lester B. Pearson International Airport. These days, people seem very quick to pull out legal threats any time anyone so much as mentions their name on a website.

Toronto copyright conference, Feb 11


Toronto copyright conference, Feb 11 02/01/2005 08:37 PM
Cory Doctorow: If you're in Toronto on Feb 11, you should really check out this copyright and technology conference at the University of Toronto -- it looks wonderful.
The student-run Technology and Intellectual Property Group of the University of Toronto will present a one-day academic conference called "Sound Bytes/Sound Rights: Canada at the Crossroads of Copyright Law." In 2004, the Standing Committee for Canadian Heritage issued recommendations for changes to the Copyright Act broadening copyright protections. In the same year, the Canadian courts headed in the opposite direction by handing down important judgments recognizing user rights. The conference will be a forum for law students and academics as well as practicing lawyers, policy makers and those in the music industry to hear about and discuss the emerging legal framework for copyright law in Canada with a particular emphasis on music and entertainment law.

Speakers will include musicians Paul Hoffert and Neil Leyton, Michael Geist (Canada Research Chair of Internet and E-commerce Law at the University of Ottawa and author of the "Law Bytes" column in the Toronto Star), Bob Young (co-founder of Red Hat Software), Sarmite Bulte, MP (the chair of the 2004 standing committee), lawyers Ron Dimock and Barry Sookman, Casey Chisick (professor of intellectual property law at the University of Toronto), and Graham Henderson (president of the Canadian Recording Industry Association). Also speaking will be William W. Fisher III, director of the Berkman Center for Internet and Society at Harvard University and author of the new and important book "Promises to Keep: Law, Technology and the Future of Entertainment".

The conference will be held in Flavelle House, University of Toronto Faculty of Law, 78 Queen's Park, Toronto, on Friday, February 11, 2005 from 9:30 am to 5:00 pm. Lunch will be provided and a wine reception is planned. Admission is $30.00 for pre-registration, $40.00 at the door. Admission is free for college and university students but registration beforehand is essential.
