The Shape of Pharrots to Come
The Shape of Pharrots to Come
10/28/2003 11:08 PMJohn Coggeshall mentions that the PHP on Parrot project has been
named "Pharrot" by the php-con conference attendees.
Here's my take on things. Now I don't have any inside info, so the
following is entirely guesswork, and any resemblence to reality is
entirely your imagination:
Although Sterling and Thies are very modest, given the fact that they
were given the closing keynote and the amazing performance
improvements - Pharrot will probably be PHP 6.
The speed of the JIT means that PHP will become a general programming
language. A high performance application server written 100% in PHP
becomes practical. A high performance anything becomes practical in
PHP.
The tribes using Parrot will probably include Python, PHP and Perl.
Code sharing between different programming tribes will become a
reality. This does not mean that there will be full interoperatability
between all languages, because (a) there is no common runtime library
(yet), (b) and no consensus on what will be the default PMC's
(Parrot's language extensions) installed.
There will be battles fought over the run-time. In PHP4/5, after
execution, we throw away the opcodes together with the bath water, or
store them in shared memory. Parrot gives you more choices. See the
end of Dan Sugalski's Parrot internals presentation (ppt).
The Zend API is dead - big deal. Parrot is a big opportunity for
companies with skill and resolve. The tools market for open source
programming languages suddenly becomes much larger because you are
able to support so many more languages effectively.
My prediction: the first beta of Pharrot will be out in 2006.
PS: Selkirk was prescient about parrot. Smart chap.

The Ship Shape
The Ship Shape
10/29/2003 01:15 AMUp on The New Yorker site, you can find Our Perfect Summer,
a new
story by David Sedaris.
We actually heard Sedaris read this story back in April when he
made a stop at the San Francisco Opera House during his last book
tour. Then, the story was called "The Ship Shape," (I think this is a
better name) and immediately after hearing it, it rose to the very top
of my Sedaris personal favorites lists. I, of course, have been
anxiously awaited the print version since then.
It was especially great to hear him read this story live since it's
so terribly bittersweet and he does an incredible job delivering it.
It's moving without being over-the-top sentimentality (this is still
Sedaris, after all) and the amount of humor in the piece is just
right. No one plays the fool; instead it's a story about hope and
disappointment amidst the sort experiences we all have as a kids.
It's a great piece and definitely worth the read.
We also met Sedaris at the signing he was doing before the event.
He was sitting at a table, alone, sort of behind a pillar. Us being
us, we made some horrible small talk and I embarrassed myself fully.
As we were leaving, I put my hand out to offer a handshake and then
quickly pulled it back, not knowing if he even likes to be touched.
(Based on his books, who'd think he'd like strangers touching him?)
After I asked if it was alright to shake, he laughed and probably
thought I was a nutcase.
This is why you should never meet the people you admire.

ways to deploy, every niche filled. For the masses, services like
Yahoo, MSN and AOL. Blogging servers for corporations, inside and
outside of the firewall. For schools, for the military, specialized
systems for lawyers, librarians, professors, reporters, magazines,
daily newspapers. The next President will have a blog. Writing for the
Web, the prevailing form of publishing in the early 21st Century, will
come in many sizes and shapes, flavors and styles. It won't be
one-size-fits-all. Open formats and protocols will make this possible.

out a presentation I'm giving in a couple of weeks at a conference.
The topic has something to do with taxonomies and tagging. (Yes, it
will repeat some material in the dinner talk I gave last week, and a
bunch of stuff from the Library of Congress speech. But it will have
new stuff on tagging.) It's 6-7:30pm at the Baker House (map). It's

Hobbit bones in bad shape
Hobbit bones in bad shape
03/23/2005 01:19 PMDavid Pescovitz:
Sadly, the bones of BB mascot Homo floresiensis were apparently
terribly damaged by Indonesian scientist Teuku Jacob who
"borrowed" the bones for quite some time and was extremely
reluctant to return them. Jacob was not convinced that Homo
floresiensis is a
new
species of "little people" at all, but rather a deformed pygmy.
The scientists who discovered the bones claim that the remains were
trashed when Jacob's team tried to make rubber molds of the delicate
bones. From USA Today:
"The equivalent in the world of art would be somebody slashing the
Mona Lisa and then trying to fix it with chewing gum," says
paleontologist Tim White of the University of California-Berkeley, who
was not on the discovery team.... (Pesco's profile of White here.)
"If some breakage took place on any bone, it must be during the
transport in Yogyakarta or from Yogyakarta to Jakarta," Jacob says.
"Both mandibles were intact until the last minute in our lab, as
proven by photographs taken on the last days." He did not respond to a
request for the photos...
Discovery team member (Richard) Roberts scoffs at the notion that
travel caused all the damage: "Like the addition of a glued-on
chin?"

Plastic that changes shape with light
04/14/2005 03:48 PMDavid Pescovitz:
Shape memory alloy, materials that change shape based on a temperature
increase, are old news for roboticists. But MIT scientists have
developed a new plastic that shapeshifts in response to light. From
the MIT News Office:
These programmed materials change shape when struck by light at
certain wavelengths and return to their original shapes when exposed
to light of specific different wavelengths.
The discovery, to be reported in the April 14 issue of Nature, could have potential
applications in a variety of fields, including minimally invasive
surgery. Imagine, for example, a "string" of plastic that a doctor
could thread into the body through a tiny incision. When activated by
light via a fiber-optic probe, that slender string might change into a
corkscrew-shaped stent for keeping blood vessels open.

The Shape of Things to Come: 5 Cents
03/22/2005 04:43 PMThis last Saturday, I was on a panel at the SXSW Music Festival entitled The Shape of Things to Come. On the panel were some industry
legends including Sandy Pearlman and Peter Jenner (former manager of Pink Floyd).
The panel somehow converged around the idea of a 5 cent download, and
how it would be a better model both economically, and socially. I
wonder if anyone has drawn the demand curves to see where there's more
money. If marginal cost is close to zero, then you could have 1
million people buying songs for 1 dollar, versus 25 million people
buying songs for 5 cents - maybe the lower price wins?
It did get me thinking that maybe we (or someone) should build a
Creative Commons 5 cent download site. It could be a good test case,
and it would also help artists get compensated. Of course, since all
the works would be CC licensed, tracks could probably be legally
traded noncommercially. However, if there was one central place with a
good recommendation engine and user interface (not to mention good
musicians), I bet people would go for it. Any takers?
