Wesner Moise\'s musings on .NET, PDC, Technology, Entrepreneurship and Life
In my Performance Enhancers post, I remarked about an energy formula called RedLine. My observation after using it for a few months is that the drink seems to be effective for weight loss in addition to building energy. RedLine was a bit hard on my heart, so I sipped about a fifth of a bottle a day rather than the recommended half of the bottle, and switched my primary drink backed to Rockstar. A few weeks ago, I tried a new energy drink, FRS healthy energy. I was actually impressed by its effectiveness with few calories and no caffeine. Unlike the other two products, my energy feels eerily natural. I was actually skeptical after the first day of use, because...
While I haven't written in a while, I will be posting additional entries more frequently in the near future. There's been a number of posts that I started writing on various issues of the day over the past six months, but a confluence of different factors have caused me to postpone or not publish my entries. This post serves to reacclimate myself to the blogging habit.
I presented at both the Lang.NET Symposium and Seattle Code Camp, but it didn't proceed as I originally planned. For several months, I have been changing the back end of my software to scale better and retain sufficient control of the performance of my product under all circumstances. I do have some hard-coded limits, but these limits and time constraints don't really work well the way my software is written. They are better for catching events that should never happen. The changes were extensive as I used functions pervasively to compress the size of my expressions and maintain the invariant that expression size stay proportional to program size. Manipulating arbitrary functions, particularly recursive functions, in a general and efficient way...
Although the title is appropriate, I wasn't actually planning on writing a post about the legendary chess grandmaster, Bobby Fischer, who died in the past few days, but I will take a few moments to pay my respects. I was a long admirer of him, and, over the years, I identified with him ever more over the years. Here was this young natural talent who defeated several highly trained Soviet chessplayers to end Soviet domination of the chess world title. He was also very individualistic, provocative and controversial, breaking taboos and openly defying the government, by traveling to Serbia despite sanctions. In the same vein now, I do fancy myself competing against other companies and speaking freely. Back to my...
Marion Jones, former Olympian gold medal, may be serving time for lying about using performance-enhancing drugs. I myself have a confession to make. I use performance enhancers to gain that extra unnatural edge over other developers. I am currently using RedLine, a potent energy enhancing formula, which I ordered from Amazon a month ago, but GNC also stocks the product. I was looking for something a bit more powerful than RockStar, my previous energy drink of choice. RedLine delivers spectacularly, almost as good as the Ephedra I consumed before it was banned three years ago. It works by inducing the body to shiver. Plus, it doesn't have any calories like RockStar. (The diet version did nothing for me, but RockStar...
Turing Completeness Yesterday was Donald Knuth's seventieth birthday. I used to own the three volumes of his Art of Computer Programming, and have even quoted the book once in my blog regarding corountines. Although the content was valuable, I could not tolerate the use of the MIX assembly language with which Knuth used to implement his algorithms. Donald Knuth also invented TeX, a markup language for typesetting. As proof of its greatness, Mark Chu-Carroll notes TeX remains dominant 30 years after Knuth wrote the original version. It also happens to be Turing complete. There are other widely used languages, which are Turing-complete, such as PostScript for generating graphical images. The template facility in C++ is Turing-complete by accident, and is...
My goal in my static analysis work is not to solve general problems like the Four Color Theorem, but rather to simulate closely the human reasoning process to solve problems that are generated, comprehendible, and solvable by normal people. Practical and deep, rather than complete. Humans write programs to be understood by other humans. Human understanding comes about instantaneously or with relatively little effort compared to the work performed by many analysis tools. We typically don't unroll loops and recursion, but instead "get" the meaning of programs by recognizing a few standard patterns. We look at a program and instantly see a sorting operation taking place, for instance. Programs typically consist of these recurring patterns. In many programs, the only...
