Yes. What's the problem? Same-document references are resolved using the base URI in most browsers. (Only Lynx gets it right!) What does that mean? It means that in most browsers same-document links (like ) don't point to another location in the current document, but point to the document linked to in the base href. ?

Bugs are Free

Bugs are Free 03/13/2003 10:14 AM

Speaking with Dare today helped me to clarify one of my motives for doing "open source" things -- a motive that I suspect is shared by many.  This particular motive stems (in essence) from the psychology that "bug fixes should be free".  It's not about fixing bugs, but the psychology is closely related:

When writing code, programmers usually have some goal or outcome in mind -- some valuable vision which they wish to materialize.  The path between vision and realization is never as clear and clean as one initially imagines, though.  Nowhere is persistence in the face of disappointment more important than in computer programming.  Along the path from vision to reality, the programmer encounters many obstacles which warrant an attitude "it shouldn't be so hard to embed a web page in a WinForm!" or "why the heck didn't the docs say that this was a zero-based index??"  There are many things that one encounters when programming which are simply wrong, in a fundamental "the universe is not right" sense.

I believe that most programmers do not want to give away their valuable end-product without some kind of significant reward.It is unlikely that someone would sink the sort of psychological and material investment necessary to produce good software if they perceived it as being worthless.  On the other hand, the psychology will be quite different for code that was written to overcome obstacles on the path to realizing that vision.  When someone looks at a piece of code and thinks "I never should have been forced to jump through so many hoops to accomplish such a simple task", they are far more likely to think that the code should see wide distribution.

Of course, one could say that the act of eliminating a common road-block that has plagued other programmers is valuable, and therefore should be priced accordingly.  In fact, this is the case.  Much of the software industry produces "platform" products which are essentially middlemen sitting between (and ideally assisting) programmers and the real-world "solutions" that they create.  I think that the real psychological difference, however, is the way that software producers view their obstacles.  Even if you are writing "platform" software which is not directly addressing real-world solutions, your software is "real-world" to the extent that someone will pay you licensing fees for it (in other words, it could be very real value as far as you're concerned).  On the other hand, every unexpected obstacle that "shouldn't have been a problem in the first place" will be perceived by most as annoying expenses that reduce the profit margin (monetary or otherwise). 

Happiness isn't a universal right, but pursuit of happiness is.People are far more likely to be altruistic about removing unreasonable obstacles (as perceived by them) to the pursuit of happiness.

The Reality of Bugs

The Reality of Bugs 11/13/2003 12:38 AM

As 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.

Yahoo's Web Bugs: How to Opt Out

Yahoo's Web Bugs: How to Opt Out 05/11/2004 01:22 PM

A reader alerts me to Yahoo's use of Web Bugs, invisible files that let the company track a variety of behavior "inside and outside our network of web sites and in connection with Yahoo! products and services." Yahoo says no personally identifying information is collected, but since it knows who you are when you're doing email, that's a distinction without a difference, I think. Anyway, here's a page where you can opt out. Yahoo calls them "Web Beacons," a rhetorical trick. Note that you have to do it for each browser you use, and the browsers have to accept cookies. Also note that when you opt out you get a page that makes it all to easily to inadvertently opt back in. Be careful. For more information on web bugs, see this page by Richard Smith.

Its not every week that technology stalwart Microsoft sheds 8% off its share price, as it did last week after the company reported a steep drop in deferred revenue. Punishing the stock with its steepest one-day price decline in at least three years may have been an overreaction. But it did underscore some wrinkles in Microsoft's new subscription-payment plan.

Six Apart, makers of Movable Type,
breaks the long silence on MT Pro

Six Apart, makers of Movable Type,
breaks the long silence on MT Pro 12/03/2003 01:46 AM
Six Apart is a company that specializes in personal communication products, but they haven't done a very good job of communicating recently. In February Six Apart announced that Movable Type Pro would be out in the summer, and summer passed and went with no comment at all. Schedule slips are fact of life in software, and clearly there was a lot of other good stuff going on with Six Apart's business that might get in the way of releasing a new version of Movable Type, but Six Apart can't expect not to cause comment and speculation with a continuing silence like that. If Six Apart had just announced a six-month (or one year) slip I am sure everyone would have understood, but silence breeds speculation. When this was compounded by the fact that Six Apart didn't seem to take any action to deal with the issue of Movable Type comment spam, leaving volunteers from the Movable Type community to come up with steps to combat the problem, it seems like a natural conclusion to assume that Movable Type as a standalone product is on the back burner, at best. Don't get me wrong here. I haven't had to pay a cent for Movable Type, and Six Apart doesn't owe me anything. I owe them and the Movable Type community for the wonderful product I have enjoyed the use of for almost two years. If Six Apart decides that their business is best served by ceasing developing Movable Type as a standalone product and by concentrating on Japan, or on Typepad, or some combination of the two, then I will applaud them and wish them well, and recommend Typepad to people starting out writing on the web. However, Six Apart should not be surprised if ardent fans of Movable Type (and of the Trotts personally) like me start speculating about what is going on when there is this kind of silence, and if some of us decide to use other systems that we have more confidence are being actively developed and improved. The November 21 announcement after 9 months of silence was a step in the right direction, but Six Apart needs to do more communicating of its plans on a more regular basis if it wants its current volunteer evangelists to keep spreading the good word about Movable Type. To Ben and Mena, thanks for listening, and thanks for all...

Kertzman said ¹ that the key factor, from his perspective, is the way in which the open source stack frees commercial software companies from the burden of "dragging around an expensive platform." He also questioned the need ² for the JVM, citing two reasons. First, that Java's portability has become a non-issue now that there are only two platforms that matter: .NET and Linux. Second, that the rise of XML Web services has given a boost to the text-savvy scripting languages: Perl/Python/PHP, the "P" in LAMP. ...
