Back in February of this year, Andrew Morten announced that cryptoloop was being deprecated in favour of dm-crypt.

The 64-Bit Question

The 64-Bit Question 06/03/2004 12:07 PM
When it comes to technology, people seem to love numbers, and bigger is always better. That explains part of the reason why AMD has been doing quite well lately with their 64-bit chip. However, Simson Garfinkel explains all of the details about 64-bit (and 32-bit) computing to explain why, unless you're doing some massive data mining or working on specific scientific applications, the only people 64-bit computing (by itself) is really helping out are the marketers who tell you need to buy a 64-bit computer. While there are performance benefits to 64-bit chips, for the most part, the benefits are because the chip is newer and made with better, more modern technology - and don't have anything to do with its 64-bitness.

The question

The question 01/26/2004 07:41 PM
I’m thinking ahead to the general election.

Both parties will try to set the agenda, of course. (They’re supposed to do that.) The Republicans will talk about three things, I think:

1. Which candidate will continue to take the war on terror to where the terrorists live?

2. Which candidate will keep the IRS from grabbing all your hard-earned money?

3. Which candidate will prevent homosexuals from destroying marriage as we know it?

That’s three things, national security, economy, and values.

Lots of people have suggested that this general election will be about one of the first two, national security or the economy.

But I have a feeling that it may be about values. It will be about civil unions.



I’m remembering Dukakis. During a debate he was asked about his stand on the death penalty—but he was asked in a very personal way. He was asked what he would do were his wife murdered.

His answer should have reflected some emotion that people could relate to. Instead he gave a dry, dispassionate answer about why he’s against the death penalty. It made him seem not exactly human, and it played right into the stereotype of clinical liberals from the northeast.

I imagine Bush or a moderator asking a similar question of the Democratic nominee, but this time it’s “What would you do if your son married another man?”

How could you possibly answer this question? You support civil unions. But this is about you and your family, and people want an answer they can relate to.

It’s not as black-and-white as the question Dukakis answered. You can’t express elation or disgust, anger or joy, but you have to express something.

Looking months into the future, I can imagine where in a close election the whole thing may turn on the answer to this question.

"To Do or to Have? That is the
Question" 02/18/2004 01:15 AM

A recent posting on the subject of Panamanian married couples who drive older cars but hire live-in nannies to help with their children sparked quite a few comments.  Alex Chernavsky sent in th is newspaper story about research done by social psychologists, the conclusion of which was that if you're going to spend money you should buy an experience, e.g., dinner out with friends or a vacation trip, rather than a new car.  The full paper is an interesting read as well.

To C or not to C, that is the question

To C or not to C, that is the question 03/11/2003 01:22 AM
Well, i was wrong about the PHP manual being helpful in writing extensions. The manual is totally inadequate when you are looking for help on how to code PHP objects in C. Worse, most PHP extensions don't use classes, so there's little sample code to go over, so you have to be good at guessing. Lastly it appears that you don't actually write extensions in C. You write preprocessor scripts in a funny macro language that is not properly documented. Then pray that the C compiler will compile it. Anyway, i've got bits of ADOdb working as a PHP extension. You can do this now: $rs = $db->Execute($sql); while (!$rs->EOF) { print_r($rs->fields); adodb_movenext($rs); # this is 100% C code! } $rs = $db->Execute($sql); $array2d = adodb_getall($rs); # more vitamin C Well the interesting question to ask is: what's the speedup. Not much actually. The overhead of the PHP classes in ADOdb (compared to native mysql calls) is about 25-30%. Converting to C reduces the overhead to about 15%. It is possible to convert more of the PHP code to C, but the loss in flexibility is probably not worth it. I haven't done benchmarking at this low level for a long time, and I can see some subtle affects that i have never realized. Firstly, defined('CONSTANT') seems to be at least 100 times slower than isset($GLOBALVAR). I found this out when using constants to detect whether php_adodb.dll was loaded. Memory allocation is relatively expensive in PHP. It seems adodb_getall(), which gets all records, runs slower than calling adodb_movenext() repeatedly from PHP code. This is probably because adodb_getall() uses tons of memory as it generates the recordset, while adodb_movenext() just gets one row at a time. A bit like the tortoise and the hare. Slow and steady wins the race. Unfortunately it appears that I cannot make use of this extension 100% transparent to the user. I thought of embedding adodb_movenext() in the MoveNext() function, and automatically switching between PHP and C code based on the extensions loaded. It turns out that the autodetection code causes the newly boosted MoveNext() to run slower than the plain old PHP version. Caveat emptor! Lastly, Jason responds with a link on developing PHP extensions on Unix. Very impressive, but it makes my brain hurt nearly as much as zval and (Shakespeare would have loved this) zval_ptr_dtor...

Trying To Answer The What's Next
Question 05/07/2004 02:58 PM
CNET's News.com has been publishing their well done series of articles on offshoring this week, and have concluded with two that are worth reading. The first isn't really a part of the series, but goes well with it, explaining (again!) why protectionist plans don't work. This has been explained over and over again, and there are countless examples of how protectionist policies cause many more problems than they solve, but apparently, it needs to be reviewed once more. The second piece is much more interesting. The question that anti-offshoring people always bring up is "what other jobs are there?" They're afraid that all jobs will be offshored and then there will be nothing left (except, the example they love, flipping burgers). Of course, history has shown that's not what happens at all. The US was an agricultural economy for a long time, and we shifted and it certainly made life very difficult for a lot of people - but we innovated and created new jobs and a higher standard of living. We've done so again and again and again. So News.com is looking at what might be next. The problem, of course, is that it's difficult to predict what really is next. So often disruptive advancements seem to come from unexpected places. Researchers working on one thing serendipitously discover a completely different breakthrough that leads to an entire new industry. Of course, to put that all together though, we need to support better education and push for more research and development (which often isn't helped when companies only think in the short term thanks to Wall Street). However, to prepare for "what's next" we need to create a culture that involves constant learning and education focused on useful areas of expertise - and not so much on specific tactical expertise. Understanding how to make a horse and buggy isn't useful - but understanding the basic concepts concerning transportation is still useful no matter what mode of transportation is used. Having that base of knowledge, with constant additional training, let's someone work on buggies, automobiles, trains, planes and whatever else comes next.
