mix. Like any other engineering task with multiple conflicting

Python Revisited
01/01/2004 02:44 PMHappy New Year! Let's talk shop as usual.
Recently, we've been looking at developing some server software in
Python. This is my first serious look at Python since 1999, and I'm
impressed with the improvements. It's a couple of years older than
PHP, and certainly more mature. Python has a reputation for being
more rationally designed than PHP or Perl, and in general that's true;
but you can still see Python's age in the fact that there are many
APIs that do the same thing (eg. the string functions).
PHP is still a better language for web development because it is a
simpler language, easy to teach to Java or Javascript programmers, has
more flexible string processing, and designed to work well with
templates.
But as a general programming language, Python has its advantages. You
can build sophisticated networking software with Python that supports
threads and asynchronous connections with reasonable efficiency
(though Python doesn't really take advantage of multiple CPU's due to
an internal global lock). The Twisted and Dibbler frameworks are testament to that. Python's
C API is well documented and Python can be easily embedded into 3rd
party apps.
Python is also a good source of design ideas. I have noticed that othe
rs have realized that many good Java ideas do not translate well
to PHP. There is an impedence mismatch; many things that are hard in
Java are easy in PHP. It makes sense to create an elaborate framework
in Java to do something that's hard in Java, but to apply the same to
PHP suggests more energy than sense. In contrast, I suspect that
Python and PHP are more complementary than we all suspect...
PS: We also had a look at developing the same server software using
.NET. However .NET doesn't have builtin support for open protocols
such as POP3 and IMAP. I continue to be amused at the (intentional?)
omissions in the .NET framework.

OPML Revisited
OPML Revisited
03/14/2005 05:44 PM
OPML is a simple, widely used,
yet often misunderstood,
XML format created by Dave Winer. IMHO, misunderstandings
stem from overexposure
to traditional ways of using XML. I must admit, I also
laughed at OPML when
I first looked at it years ago. But when I cocked my head (a
technique anyone
can learn from their dogs), it began to make a lot of sense.
This is what I saw:
Infoset:
-
An OPML document is a collection of objects.
-
An object may have properties and contents.
-
An object's properties are unordered map of name/value pairs.
-
An object's contents are ordered list of objects.
Syntax:
-
Objects are encoded as XML elements named 'outline'.
-
Properties are encoded as XML attributes.
-
Content objects are encoded as child XML elements.
Once you get this picture in your mind, you start to appreciate
OPML more. Throw
in display and interaction semantics builted into the format along
with distributed
object linking and embedding Dave often raves about and you got
quite a beast of a
language.
As to the question of who defines the properties, the answer is
everybody does.
OPML is a kind of Emergent Markup Language in that common
properties are expected
to emerge through industry practices rather than
standardization through committees.
There are some shortcomings with OPML though which I would like to
see addressed.
OPML Wiki
OPML needs a wiki for OPML developers to interact with each other
and to document
how each of them are using OPML so that standard or type-specific
properties may emerge.
Structured Properties
One weakness of XML is that, while elements may
be structured, attributes
may not. Since properties are encoded as XML attributes in
OPML, (semi) structured
properties (i.e. HTML fragments) have to be encoded at the cost of
readability.
I think the need for a wiki is far more serious than the need for
structured property
support.

Suppress New Windows Revisited
Suppress New Windows Revisited
12/19/2004 03:25 PMIf you're like me, then you hate it when people use
target="_blank". If you've installed Firefox 1.0 and are
wondering why the suppress new windows advanced pref no longer works,
it's because it's been overridden by a new advanced pref.
To turn it on, go to about:config and set
"browser.tabs.showSingleWindowModePrefs" to true. Or you can add
user_pref("browser.tabs.showSingleWindowModePrefs", true); to your
user.js file.
Then in Tools | Options | Advanced | Tab browsing, a new option
appears. You can then force links that open in new windows to open in
the current window or a new tab instead. It's an experimental option
for now, so it might be a little buggy, but it works for the most
part.
Update: The feature doesn't work on bookmarklets that open popup
windows, like the bugmenot or Post to MT bookmarklets. It opens them
in new tabs instead of as a new popup window.
Update to Update: There's a pref for diverting window.open() calls
too.

Blogging Attributation Revisited
Blogging Attributation Revisited
12/29/2004 01:43 PMRoland Piquepaille and
Slashdot: Is there a connection?: There's a really interesting
conversation going on over at Slashdot about something I've struggled
with in the past: blog attributation. Some guy on Slashdot evidently
just copies and pastes content from other sources, drvies traffic to
his site, and then reaps the advertising windfall.
Don't we all do this? I don't know. I hope that Gadgetopia
provides some value in (1) aggregating stuff people are interesting
in, (2) adding at least some original content to each entry, (3)
relating entries to one another so a reader can learn more about a
particular topic, and (4) having some completely original entries on
top of that.
But, when you boil everything down, a lot of what we do here is
posted quotes and excerpts from other sites, and springboarding off
content found on other sites. I try to give attributation, but what
happens when you find something in multiple places, or are posting
about something that you found three or four levels removed from the
first thing?
A year ago, I talked about this same thing. I said, in part:
The other day, I added a "via Anil Dash" link to one of my
entries for no particular reason, and it got me thinking about it. If
the content is A, and Anil Dash's entry that links to it is B, then
should I link to Anil as C? Or should I follow Anil's link to the
target and become a B? If I become a B via Anil's link, do I need to
add attributation to his B?
It's confusing. My only goal to just try not to screw anyone. I
hope I succeed.

and will include built-in Wi-Fi. It will not, however, be
called the T6, or even be part of the Tungsten line, for the rumor
whispers on that it will be released at the end of April as a new
sub-brand from palmOne. Take your rumors with an extra dose of salt
today, please. (Thanks, Sammy!))

The Bell Curve revisited
The Bell Curve revisited
07/16/2004 05:09 PMDriving back and forth to Nashua, NH yesterday I listened to The
Bell Curve as an abridged book on tape (picked it up for $5
in a used bookstore in San Diego). This book created quite a
stir in 1994 because of its discussion of average IQ differences among
races but I had never read it. It turns out that even if you
leave out all the controversial stuff about race the book is
potentially very relevant to our times.
The Bell Curve starts out by talking about how we live in
an era where people get sorted by cognitive ability into socioeconomic
classes. In 14th century England if you were a peasant with a
high IQ or a noble with a low IQ it didn't affect your life,
reproductive potential, or income very much. In our more
meritocratic and vastly more sophisticated economy a smart kid from a
lower middle class might make it to the top of a big company (cf. Jack
Welch, who paid himself $680 million as CEO of GE) or at least
into a $300,000/year job as a radiologist. For the authors of
the Bell Curve the increasing disparity in income in the U.S. is
primarly due to the fact that employees with high IQs are worth a lot
more than employees with low IQs. They note that we have an
incredibly complex legal system and criminal justice system. So
you'd expect people with poor cognitive ability to fail to figure out
what is a crime, which crimes are actually likely to be punished,
etc., and end up in jail. (A Google search brought up a
report on juvenile justice in North Carolina; the average
offender had an IQ of 79.) If they stay out of jail through dumb
(literally) luck, there is no way that they are ever going to be able
to start a small business; the legal and administrative hoops through
which one must jump in order to employ even one other person are
impenetrable obstacles to those with below-average intelligence.
The trend that the decade-old Bell Curve book misses is
telecom and outsourcing. The authors assume that an American
with high IQ will have a higher income and better standard of living
than an American with low IQ. That's the sorting function of an
advanced economy. They don't get into the question of whether it
is sustainable that an American with low IQ should have a higher
income than someone in India or China with a high IQ.
Statistically you'd have to expect that there are more really smart
people in India and China than the total population of the U.S.
If the sorting-by-IQ process were efficient across international
borders you'd expect that an American with an IQ of 100 should be
making less than an Indian with an IQ of 120. Given that a lot
of brilliant well-educated people in India are getting paid
less than $5,000 per year, this is a bit worrisome those of us here
who are fat, dumb, and happy. [Imagine that you were running a
company. Would you rather employ a local high school graduate
with an IQ of 90 or an Indian college grad with an IQ of 130 via
Internet link?]
For us oldsters, one unexpected piece of cheerful news from this
book is that younger Americans are getting genetically dumber every
year. Even if you ignore the racial and immigrant angles of the
book that created so much controversy back in 1994 it is hard to argue
with the authors' assertion that smart women tend to choose higher
education and careers rather than cranking out lots of babies.
As a middle-aged (40) guy whose own cognitive abilities are beginning
to fade due to neuron death I felt sure that there would be no place
me for in the America of 2050. Our population is predicted to
reach 450 million or so, i.e., the same as India had back when we were
kids and our mothers told us about this starving and overpopulated
country. An individual person's labor in India has
negligible economic value--the American firm Office Tiger gets 1500
applicants, many of whom are very well qualified, on a good day in
Chennai. It would seem that no enterprise would need an old
guy's skills in a country of 450 million; why bother when there
are so many energetic young people around? And how would we be
able to afford a house or apartment if there are 450 million smart
young people out there earning big bucks and putting pressure on real
estate prices? But if the book is right most of those young
people will be dumb as bricks.

Amityville Horror, revisited
Amityville Horror, revisited
04/15/2005 11:07 PM
The house in Amityville with the fan-shaped windows making an
inhuman face is the
Godzi
lla of haunted house movies. The town and current owner of
the house where the DeFeo family was murdered try to
downplay
(registration required) its signficance. The trademark windows in the
original have been replaced to disguise its identity, and lawsuits
force studios to use a house-double. Although latest remake claims
the status of "true story," the case has been widely
dismissed as a
hoax and
the 2005 film has even rased the ire of
George Lutz
for how he is portrayed as the haunted father-figure. Other people
involved in the case including convicted murder DeFeo are
unhappy with the new attention. Still,
the story has its
true
believers and
psychics who
argue the debunkers have their own agenda. Then again,
Texas
Chainsaw Massacre was also claimed by the same production
company to be "inspired by a true story."
