.NET reality check
.NET reality check
01/27/2004 02:51 PM
There's been some pushback recently, in the .NET blogging community,
about Microsoft's habit of living in the future. For example:
It is abundantly frustrating to be keeping up with you guys right now.
We out here in the real world do not use Longhorn, do not have access
to Longhorn (not in a way we can trust for production), and we cannot
even begin to test out these great new technologies until version 1.0
(or 2.0 for those that wish to stay sane). I know there's probably
not a whole lot you can do, but this is a plea to you from someone "in
the field". My job is to work on the architecture team as well as
implement solutions for a large-scale commercial website using .NET.
I use this stuff all day every day, but I use the 1.1 release bits.
Here's my point, enough with the "this Whidbey, Longhorn, XAML is so
cool you should stop whatever it is you are doing and use it". Small
problem, we can't. Please help us by remembering that we're still
using the release bits, not the latest technology. [Michael Earls]
In the spirit of Michael's plea, I'm working on an upcoming article in
which I'll compare what was promised for the .NET platform (er,
framework), two and three years ago, with the current reality as it
exists today. Examples of the kinds of issues I want to consider:

The Reality of Bugs
The Reality of Bugs
11/13/2003 12:38 AMAs some comments in my previous blog entry illustrate, I think
people simply don't grasp the magnitude of the Web. There are
(conservatively) 10 million Web sites on the Web. Let's say
(conservatively) that each Web site has 50 unique Web pages. That's
500 million Web pages that the Web browser has to work perfectly
on.
Let's imagine that the browser has done a fantastic job of
emulating all the quirks of WinIE and Netscape 4, and that it is
really good at laying out malformed HTML. An awesome browser would be
(conservatively) 95% compliant, which means that it would have some
sort of bug or problem on 5% of those 500 million Web pages.
5% of 500 million Web pages is 25 million malfunctioning Web pages.
Let's now assume that only 10% of those Web pages are even seen by
someone using Safari itself. Now we're down to 2.5 million pages seen
by Safari users.
If only 10% of those users even bother to report a bug, that's
250,000 unique bugs that have to be screened.
This is the reality of the Web. People are constantly shocked and
amazed that their pet bug hasn't been fixed in subsequent releases
(e.g., in Mozilla or Safari), but those people simply don't understand
how many hundreds of thousands of bugs their particular problem is
competing with.

01/05/2005 06:31 AMDavid Pescovitz:
Cambridge physicist Helen Czerski and BMX pro Ben Wallace have
collaboratively designed a new bike trick in honor of the centenary
celebration of
Einstein's most influential scientific publications.
In the stunt, 18-year-old Wallace, a competitor in extreme
sports events around the world, launched off a six-feet high ramp and
spun backwards through 360 degrees while simultaneously folding his
bike underneath him in a move known to BMX devotees as a
‘tabletop’. At one point, onlookers saw Wallace upside
down, travelling at 15mph, with his head 12-feet off the floor.
Czerski, a keen sportswoman and diver herself, said: “I spent a
lot of time looking at the physics behind various stunts, trying to
understand the limits of what is physically possible to determine how
far we could push the parameters with our new creation. I then tested
our ideas using a computer simulation to plot a new
stunt.”
The stunt draws upon a variety of physics theories including the
conservation of angular momentum and Newton's laws of
motion.
