Orthogonal Extensibility

Orthogonal Extensibility 03/19/2003 10:41 PM

Dan iel Berlinger: Sam's certainly consistent. Why the envelope Sam? No need to reiterate what it's used for in SOAP, but what's the benefit in this context? Why not just post the RSS and namespace the extensions? (as you suggest...) Does it improve interop when turning one standard into another? (just asking, no agenda)

Thank you. I've tried to be consistent.  Advocating a single, uniform, consise, and extensible data format as opposed to unique formats for each intended purporse.  Alternatives which generally are simultaneously more verbose and yet somehow manage to contain less information.  Alternatives which are considerably less extensible, if they are extensible at all.

Now in addition to the various uses I had collected before, I can add BlogPing.  I say collected, as I didn't invent most of these.  I have simply been collecting them in a manufactured serendipity sort of way.

Now to answer your question: the reason for headers is for orthogonal extensibility.  What does that mean?  Look at RESTLog.  Whatever I place inside the item is saved permanenty.  Suppose I simply want to pass an option to the RESTLog application itself?  Similar question for validation, for archiving, for pinging, etc.

No, I won't give you a specific example today.  I am merely recording observations, and encouraging people to leave room for potential future needs.  When they arise, I plan to still be here.  I am a very patient evangelist.

Versioning and extensibility in XML
formats

Versioning and extensibility in XML
formats 09/20/2004 12:26 PM

On the Atom-Syntax list they're talking about versioning and extensibility, two problems that are very easily solved in XML.

For versioning, define a required version attribute on the feed element, a string in the form x.y, where x and y are two numbers. X is the major version, and y is the minor version. So a version 0.3 feed would have a version attribute whose value is "0.3". A version 1.0 feed would have a version attribute of "1.0".

For extensibility, allow the format to be extended through namespaces and trust the W3C, who is the owner of the namespaces spec to tell you how to do it. Build on the works of others.

For extra credit, the format should evolve by adding new elements. A processor can tell whether it should expect the new elements or not by checking the top-level version attribute.

I honestly don't think there's another way to do it, so all the arguing and fussing is just going to end up there, so you might as well just do it. Of course this is just my opinion, I have no position re the Atom working group, or the RSS advisory board.

MSBuild and Visual Studio 2005: Status
Reports and Commentary

MSBuild and Visual Studio 2005: Status
Reports and Commentary 06/26/2004 09:31 AM

• MSBuild status

  Status... status and more status. This is something new I'm trying, and I'd love to hear your feedback on the process. As most people at Microsoft (heck probably anywhere), I have to send weekly status internally to my peers, the big cahunas and other interested parties. My status covers MSBuild, and pretty much reports a pulse for the entire feature area. What's Dev up to... what's QA up to... is the PM *still* slacking off (<-- don't answer that). So if internal folks are generally interested in it... perhaps *you* are interested in it as well.

• VDT Status Update Whidbey 06/24/04 (By Mairéad)

  Highlights

  • Whidbey and Yukon SxS Nightlies passing 100%
  • QA signed off on all Beta1 Tripwires
  • We did a Final Pick Up of Yukon bits

• Didn’t you get the memo about the TPS reports?

  Today my inbox was flooded with opinions about the VS Data team status post that was inspired by the MSBuild status post. These come to me because a large portion of my job currently revolves around figuring out and encouraging how Devdiv participates in the community. I spent too much time addressing concerns today not to share my responses publicly.
  
  What keen observers are witnessing is a division in the midst of a transition towards a more transparent and customer connected future. Transitions can be painful and a lot of people fear change like guy who refuses pants in the old Quiznos adds. This transition has been one with a lot of experiments. Some stick, some don’t, and some are refined into something different but better. The old adage says crawl, walk, and then run. We are heading into the walking phase of our “community” efforts.

John Lautner's Chemosphere: part
Jetsons, part Bond and vintage L.A.
Modern. 04/07/2005 12:53 PM
The most modern home built in the world. "From the outside it looks like a spaceship you cannot enter. But if you go inside, it feels very cozy… very Zen and calming. Maybe because you are floating above the city, in the sky". John Lautner's Chemosphere residence is the product of a fortuitous union of architect, client, time and place. Leonard Malin was a young aerospace engineer in late-1950s L.A. whose father-in-law had just given him a plot north of Mulholland Drive, near Laurel Canyon. The only catch: at roughly 45 degrees, the slope was all but unbuildable. Lautner sketched a bold vertical line, a cross, and a curve above it. "Draw it up," he told his assistant. Now publisher Benedik t Taschen owns Chemosphere (NSFW), and after 20 years of neglect the house has been beautifully restored (.pdf) by Frank Escher.

Beyond PDF: Digital Delivery Develops: Interesting article on the future of the PDF and competing platforms that have developed to knock PDF of its perch.

Yet it has its share of critics who complain that it's not the most effective digital distribution method. Among its most famous broadsides was Jakob Nielsen's June, 2001 Alert Box column in which he concluded that the PDF was great for printing out documents, but lousy for online reading. Others complain about Acrobat Reader's load time, especially on Web sites. In spite of these criticisms, the PDF has solidified its place as the leader in electronic document distribution.

Now I'm back in the Newark airport, waiting for the flight to Boston. Is there a longer commercial flight than Singapore-Newark? I'm glad to be home, eager to see my family, and would love to find a way to go back to Singapore someday soon....
