01/23/2003 05:55 AMPHP Scalability Critique
PHP Scalability Critique
07/17/2004 04:11 PMExperiences of Using PHP in Large Websites: This is a
well-written, well-researched, but ultimately damning indictment of
PHP's use in "large Web sites."
The conclusion arrived at is that, in some circumstances
at least, PHP's tendency to create more problems than it solves makes
it an inappropriate choice. However, we also recognise that there are
some situations in which PHP is to be used.
I agree with a lot of what's written here, but they're not
roadblocks that have ever really hindered me. If you abstract your
code well, and you're not working on a site with a lot of other people
(I usually work alone), most of these problems are non-events.
Yes, function naming is goofy. Yes, there are no namespaces. Yes,
the whole magic quotes concept is a pain. But I still write better
stuff faster with PHP than with any other langauge.
They talk about templating and code separation early on, and the
perfectly describe what has become my de facto templating method:
Divide every PHP page up into two parts: the former
performs database queries and does whatever else is needed to
calculate the content for the page, before storing the calculated
content into a series of variables which — and this is crucial
— contain no markup. Then the latter part of the page can simply
embed variable values into HTML markup, using loops where appropriate
to traverse potentially-complex data structures containing the actual
content.
I actually have two files — the actual code, then a ".tpl"
file that's included at the bottom of the code. That way, two vastly
different sets of code can use the same template. I know this isn't
perfect, and Joe never hesitates to tell me that I should be using Smarty instead, but it works well
for me without the (1) need to learn another language syntax, and (2)
the additional overhead required for template processing.

Critique of Ken Brown's response
Critique of Ken Brown's response
06/06/2004 09:29 AMI hereby present a critique to K5 of Ken Brown's response to critics
of his book, Samizdat. The following quote gives a good introduction
to the sort of response it is: Linux is a leprosy; and is having a
deleterious effect on the U.S. IT industry because it is steadily
depreciating the value of the software industry sector. Software is
also embedded in hardware, chips, printers and even consumer
electronics. Should embedded software become 'free' too, it would be
natural to conclude the value of hardware will spiral downward as
well. Does this remind anyone of the stance that Microsoft took that
the GPL is "viral"? Note: in the interests of attribution (which Ken
Brown likes to talk about a lot), I cited all articles linked to on
June 5th (Sydney, Australia for those across international date
lines). I am unable to prevent any changes made to this website.

XSLT debate and critique
XSLT debate and critique
06/05/2002 07:50 AMXSLT was designed as a language for transforming XML documents into
other documents (perhaps also XML). In essence, XSLT "transformations"
are made of templates that match portions of input documents and
correspondingly emit portions of output documents. The XSLT engine
applies the appropriate templates (usually recursively) to input
documents to yield output documents. Thus, XSLT seems perfect for our
task. We can simply match the text portions of our input documents,
perform our substitutions, and emit the results.
But, alas, XSLT suffers from fundamental weaknesses that make it
exceedingly difficult for many common tasks, and our text-conversion
problem is one such task.
Ken Holman, a noted teacher of XSLT has a
good
response:
Don't regard writing a stylesheet as writing a program, regard it
as
supplying to the processor a collection of templates, or "examples of
the
result tree", that the processor is going to use to build the result
of the
transformation.
Yes, it [XSLT] happens to be Turing Complete, so if you need to do
programming
things along the way (which, I claim, is *not* the norm in XSLT
stylesheets), they are available to be used at the cost of shoehorning
the
activity into markup constructs. I agree it isn't a pretty
programming
language ... because it's primary purpose *isn't* programming, so
that's okay!
They also say "Give a man a plough and he can farm the land, give a
man a noose and he can ...". A little knowledge is a dangerous thing.

A critique of port knocking
08/10/2004 03:25 AMSuppose you want to be able to retrieve files from your Linux system
remotely. The "standard" method of running the SSH server on port 22
is notoriously inadequate. OpenSSH, which is the SSH server on the
majority of Linux installations, suffers from regular exploits of
buffer overflow and other vulnerabilities, and you neither have the
time to keep up with the patches nor want to make the effort -- you'd
rather put up with not being able to access your files. This is where
port knocking might seem to help -- but don't count on it.

Scorching critique of some arguments for
copyright
Scorching critique of some arguments for
copyright
05/25/2004 10:22 AMMark Lemley, a UC Berkeley law prof, has just published a paper on
copyright called "Ex Ante Versus Ex Post Justifications for
Intellectual Property," that's a good, fast read. Lemley says that in
copyright's early days, the justificaiton for the auhtor's monopoly
was to give authors the incentive to crete new works, but that today,
we have the "ex ante" arguments that copyright also gives authors the
incentive to
exploit their creations -- to make more of them
once they are created -- and to "steward" them by ensuring that only
good, quality derivative works enter the market.
Without saying much about the idea that copyright can be a good
incentive to create, Lemley tears these other arguments for copyright
to shreds, in a highly entertaining fashion:
The argument that a single company is better positioned than the
market to make efficient use of an idea should strike us as jarringly
counterintuitive in a market economy. Our normal supposition is that
the invisible hand of the market will work by permitting different
companies to compete with each other. It is competition, not the
skill or incentives of any given firm, that drives the market to
efficiency. Nothing about the fact that a work was once subject to
copyright or patent protection should change our intuition here. It
is hard to imagine Senators, lobbyists, and scholars arguing with a
straight face that the government should grant one company the
perpetual right to control the sale of all paper clips in the
country, on the theory that otherwise no one will have an incentive
to make and distribute paper clips.24 We know from long experience
that companies will make and distribute paper clips if they can sell
them for more than it costs to supply them. The market for paper
clips functions just fine without this type of government
intervention. We can also predict with some confidence that if we did
grant one company the exclusive right to make paper clips, the likely
result would be an increase in the price and a decrease in the supply
of paper clips. Yet supporters of the CTEA confidently predict exactly
the opposite in the case of copyrighted works from the 1920s.

Design critique of Jakob Nielsen
Design critique of Jakob Nielsen
05/24/2004 02:56 AMJakob Nielsen is a legendary usability crank who writes great little
columns called "AlertBoxes" wherein he runs down his best practices
for one or another element of usability (I always forget to read these
because I can't find any RSS or Atom for Jakob's site and it updates
too infrequently to put it in my regular Moz tab-group bookmark;
nevertheless, some of Nielsen's pieces, like the
Microcontent
thing from 1998 have been very influential in my blogging style)
Last week's AlertBox was about link-style, and it's pretty good and
sensible. But, like all of the AlertBoxen, it is ugly as hell.
Enter "Design Eye for the Usability Guy." Five designers, who have
clearly been scorched by Nielsen's legendary rants about the primacy
of usability over design, take on Nielsen's AlertBox house-style in a
kind of overblown, gushy tone, and undertake to remodel Jakob's image
so that his site is both usable and beautiful. It's funny, subversive
and in the words of the Cos, "you may learn seomthing before it's
done. Hey! Hey! Hey!"
Last time I checked it wasn't illegal to use illustrations to spice up
your web site. Now, before we go wild let us remember that Nielsen's
not exactly the nothing-but-prada-shoes type of guy. So, I settled
with a clean, icon-like style that will reinforce each guideline
visually. The colours used are basic: red for links, blue for hover
and shades of gray and black for other text. Again, let's try to stick
with a style that somehow matches his current branding.
To translate the general concept of links into something simple I've
chosen to use an underlined letter "a," applied to an assortment of
situations that exemplify each guideline. The font used is Georgia,
which happens to work nicely and is very much ubiquitous.
