Programming as if Performance Mattered James Hague May 4, 2004 james [at] dadgum.com I frequently see bare queries from programmers in discussion forums, especially from new programmers, who are worried about performance. These worries often stem from popular notions about what operations are "slow." Division. Square roots. Mispredicted branches. Cache unfriendly data structures. Visual Basic. Inevitably someone chimes in that making out-of-context assumptions, especially without profiling, is a bad idea. And they're right. But I often wonder if those warnings are also just regurgitations of popular advice. After all, if a C++ programmer was truly concerned with reliability above all else, would he still be using C++? At the same time, such concerns and advice seem to remain constant despite rapid advances in hardware. A dozen years ago a different crop of new programmers was fretting about the speed of division, square roots, and Visual Basic, and yet look at the hundred-fold increase in computing power since then. Are particular performance problems perennial? Can we never escape them? This essay is an attempt to look at things from a different point of view, to put performance into proper perspective.

Hell In A Handbasket May 30, 2004 Sound Wisdom We've been talkign about being extreme geeks. Role playing games, science fiction, stuff like that. Now Lt. Smash says that political conventions should be more like science fiction conventions. "I've always thought political conventions were for folks who considered DragonCon way too hip. Being the tragically hip guy that I am, I know I feel more comfortable walking amongst people dressed as Klingons and Vulcans than people wearing corny hats and carrying-on like they were at a football game." "On top of all that, political conventions rarely feature decent speakers. You go to one of the myriad Sci-Fi conventions around these United States, and you'll at least get Adrienne Barbeau or Gil Gerard to say a few lines and collect their nominal fee before jetting out the backdoor. Go to one of the bigger conventions, and you'll see the likes of Shatner, Nimoy, and the guy who played Scotty. What do you get at a political convention? Some homely freak who was Deputy Undersecretary of the Interior during the glorious Ford Administration." I got the heads up from Prof. Reynold's site, where he says that

Developers have long recognized the value of sending generated emails to users, but until now they have been unable to listen in response. Traditionally, the developer's best approach for a response from generated email was to have the user click a link in the email, sending him or her to a Website URL. With an email-based application, a user can send an email to a server; the server can then process that email, making the communication two-way. Email-based interaction offers advantages over sending a user to a Website. First, interaction proceeds even if the user is offline. A user can read her email and, in turn, reply with a series of emails that create an instruction queue for a remote system. Second, under some circumstances a user can respond quicker via an email. If the needed response is simple, an email proves faster than Website interactions because the user stays within her email software.

There he enjoyed a country upbringing and his natural curiosity displayed itself at an early age. In a letter written on 25 April 1834 when 'The Boy' was not yet three years old he is described as follows, see [4]:- He is a very happy man, and has improved much since the weather got moderate; he has great work with doors, locks, keys etc., and 'Show me how it doos' is never out of his mouth.

I The Japanese bamboo flute, the shakuhachi, is a beautiful instrument to look at - austere and simple. Its music parallels its appearance: spare, and sometimes even astringent, but also interspersed with phrases of great depth, subtlety, and feeling. A very difficult instrument to play, let alone master, the shakuhachi is not well known outside of Japan. That situation is slowly changing, partially as a result of the casual cultural interchanges that travel and economics have made possible in the last twenty or thirty years, and partially due to the efforts of a few westerners who have worked to bring this haunting and beautiful music to a wider audience. One of those westerners is James Schlefer, who lives and teaches in Brooklyn, New York. Jim holds the rank of Grand Master (Dai Shi-han) of the shakuhachi, one of fewer than ten westerners in the world who have attained this rank.

Important Read this before reviewing the accompanying letter! Unlike most of the things you've seen advertised on how-to work at home on your computer and earn money, the downloadable training manual being announced by the accompanying letter was prepared by someone who actually does what he teaches. This training course does something that has never been done before. It teaches you exactly how-to master Internet affiliate programs at the same pace and achievement level that allowed him to generate a recurring monthly income of $10,000 and growing by placing links on his many sites. And we're not talking theory. His methods work for anyone with an Internet connection, a computer, some basic software, and a desire to earn money with their computer, either as a major career change or simply a way to bring in some extra money into the family budget. This Training Manual is, perhaps, the finest home study program offered on the subject of Affiliate Marketing also known as Associate Programs or Revenue Sharing ever developed because none of it is theoretical.

And it works for trackback too! Apparently, there are some automated bots which has been spamming comments on movabletype blogs. While it is easy to ban the IP and remove the posts, it takes a lot of time and effort to play the cat and mouse game. To cut the story short, I wrote a plugin to MT that will verify if it is a human before it allows comments to be posted. The idea is pretty simple: Display an image with a Security Code and demand the user to enter a Security Code manually before allowing posting to go through. To see how it works, try posting some comments on this site. If you like it, you can download it here . (It is pretty rough since it skip my sleep to do this. But it should work.

Which puts me in a mood to do something about that. Hey, it's not like I have tons of extra time lying around just waiting to be used, but I was thinking about writing scripts that continue the Soul Saga story. Maybe one a month? Not that I think anything will come of it, but I really wanted to see where the story and the characters were headed, and if the creators aren't interested, and/or can't go on, there's no real reason why I shouldn't take a shot at it myself, just for amusement purposes.

Features OpenVPN: An Introduction and Interview with Founder, James Yonan By Duane Dunston In this article, Duane Dunston gives a brief introduction to OpenVPN and interviews its founder James Yonan. Introduction OpenVPN is a newer generation VPN in that it is based on SSL as the underlying security mechanism. IPSEC is the current and most popular standard for VPN technology. SSL is already a standard for secure communication over the Internet for financial transactions, checking email, and ensuring sensitive information is not leaked to "people-in-the-middle". Many articles I've read speak of SSL VPN's as requiring a browser. I'm not sure why that gets under my skin. It just isn't true. The only time I use a browser over OpenVPN is to access an intranet web server on the remote side. Once an OpenVPN tunnel is established you can then use any application to access services on the remote end, provided the right access controls are in place. A browser is not needed to create an OpenVPN tunnel, it can be done from the commandline. Another nicety is that it runs on Windows 20000/XP, Linux, Solaris, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, and MacOS X.

Ideas for getting Boys to Read - James Moloney The following is taken from my book "Boys and Books" (ABC Books, 2000). The list at the end is also from the book. It is one of 14 lists supplied to help parents and teachers. What boys DO like - a brave appraisal To answer a question such as "What DO boys like to read?" is almost impossible. All manner of conflicting generalisations get in the way. For example, are we talking about willing readers or reluctant readers. Are we looking for books a boy will read by himself or books to read to a boy. By way of introducing this section, I will blaze ahead regardless with a few point distilled from my years as a librarian in an all boys school. More detailed consideration and practical assessments of what we parents (and teacher) can do will follow. * It is a mistake to believe that boys in general and reluctant readers in particular, do not like fiction. It is often the type of fiction presented to them that is the source of their rejection. On the whole, boys enjoy books which place action ahead of emotion and where what the characters do is more important that what the characters think or feel. Hence, the apparent preference for the action novel. These are the equivalent of thrillers and detective stories in adult reading matter. They often come in series to help marketing
