Economist: Buggy whipped

Economist: Buggy whipped 07/04/2002 02:19 AM
The problem, as they saw it, was the complexity of modern software—especially operating systems and productivity suites. “Twenty, or even ten, years ago, software was actually reliable,” one software developer admitted. That was because the cryptic operating systems on desktop computers at the time (CP/M and MS-DOS) were far smaller and more tightly coded than today's graphical beasts. The software written for bigger machines used to be more reliable, too. Before IBM was forced to “unbundle” its software, computer makers controlled both the program code and the hardware it ran on—and could thus integrate them properly. That was one of the reasons why IBM's mainframes and Digital Equipment's minicomputers had such a reputation for reliability.

Readers had no trouble identifying the two leading culprits. One was the practice of re-using chunks of old software for doing set things. “Over time, code-reuse leads to massively complex and prodigiously huge software programs, full of ‘magic code' that nobody understands or wants to touch,” said another programmer. Analysing such programs was more like archaeology than computer science. “They are full of ‘midden piles' and ‘rock strata' containing artefacts and fossils that once had a clear purpose but whose function is now lost to history.”

A terrible, buggy, monster.

A terrible, buggy, monster. 03/11/2003 09:43 AM

I found this very interesting read on the history of AWT, Swing, and SWT fom an undisclosed source via Roller user Jon Lipsky's blog. Here is a tasty excerpt:

Alan Williamson's mysterious "source close to IBM": At IBM we hated Swing from day one. Big, buggy, and looks [like] crap. Initially our tools such as VisualAge for Java were all written in Smalltalk ( which used native widgets ) so when we started to migrate these to a Java codebase we need a widget set. All of the IBM developers are the same crowd who used to work with Smalltalk, and we reluctantly under management orders built our WebSphere Studio tools using Swing. It was a terrible, buggy, monster. In our initial previews when it was demo'd against Microsoft Visual Studio products all our users hated it just because of how it looked, never mind what it let you do. Most shoppers don't like to get in car that looks and smells terrible, even if it does have a nice engine.

UPDATE: Jon Lipsky was contacted by somebody at Sun who claims there are many and major inaccuracies in the above story.

Solution to gcc problems. 12/19/2004 03:50 PM
Apple has released the November 2004 gcc3 updater, available (upon free registration) at connect.apple.com. This updater fixes the problems with the gcc3 compiler in XCode 1.5. If you are using XCode 1.5, you should install this updater. (The updater will update correctly for users with an untouched XCode 1.5, and also for users who installed the workaround which the fink project had previously recommended.) We would like to thank Apple for responding to our reports about this matter, and working to resolve it as quickly as possible.

The Future solution for SPAM

The Future solution for SPAM 06/29/2004 03:48 PM

It's the doldrums of summer when everyone is off on holiday or surfing for porn on the internet with their laptop out in the park. I've got a short break between Finnish courses and I've been catching up on my reading a bit. I thought I'd read a bit of fiction for a change so I gave The Zenith Angle a try. This book was so bad that I would feel a pang of pity for Sterling if it hadn't wasted a few hours of my time reading such a pathetic excuse for a book. Oh, how I mourn the days of wonderful sci-fi with authors like Clarke, Verne, Wells, Burroughs and E. E. Smith who never, ever wrote crap like this:

We are attacking that Iridium satellite, said Tony. Right now. There is no visible beam. It is a very energy-efficient process. The adaptive beam has to penetrate miles of atmosphere with as little signal loss as possible. We don't even generate the laser pulses locally. we amplify them and collate them. We are beaming Internet traffic up into the sky, from the telescope, right now. Those Internet signals come from all over the planet.

Don't the people miss their Internet when you throw it up into outer space? said Sanjay.

It's all spam.

No.

Yes, I am attacking a satellite with laser spam.

No.

We are running a major Internet backbone across the Rocky Mountains here, said Tony patiently. We have spam filters. Nobody ever asks where the spam goes. We beam the spam into outer space.

Insert a Dr. Evil-esque RRRiiiiigggghhhhT in there, call it the "Alan Parsons Project" and it could almost be a comedy. And this is as good as it gets in the book. There is a glue gun that gets so much air time in the story that it becomes a motif and I think maybe that Sterling had been huffing the glue pretty hard while writing. Sure, it's peppered with references to people in this reality and, of course, 911, but this book is so bad I hope there is a way to deploy the remainders against the terrorists instead of vicitimising the unsuspecting bargain hunters at B&N with this monumentally craptastic attempt at a story. I think I'll just go back and re-read the classics instead of wasting my time and money on these horribly disappointing books.
