My Code Here: My Work in Print: 1985

http://mycodehere.blogspot.com/2011/10/my-work-in-print-1985.html

Some articles on computing, security, mathematics, science, language, and music. Some not. Saturday, 5 November 2011. My Work in Print: 1985. I've previously written about the very competitive crafting of optimum machine code programs for Personal Computer World magazine's 1980s Sub Set. A huge novelty in the publishing world at the time. Book geeks: note the cool adjacent ISBNs! Best of PCW Assembler Routines for the Z80. Although the first IBM PC. With its 8-bit Intel 8088. Cube Root of a 16-bit unsign...

Scale This!: The Byzantine Cake Problem

http://scalethis.blogspot.com/2010/04/byzantine-cake-problem.html

Tuesday, 6 April 2010. The Byzantine Cake Problem. As is the normal case for these events, we "secretly" have a collection and the person who collects up the money, goes and "secretly" buys a cake for the birthday boy. This was until my boss, Craig, sent this out to the office by email. Can someone go to shop please as I’m busy all afternoon.". This results in an interesting logical problem. There is an implied condition in the phraseology he's used that the person that goes is therefore. In the end, the...

Scale This!: March 2010

Tuesday, 23 March 2010. Having witnessed numerous demonstrations of all manner of concurrency gotchas at the recent DevWeek, I thought I would focus on one particular construct that I see quite often, and admittedly have been responsible for introducing in the past. Joe Duffy, in his otherwise excellent (and extremely thick) book " Concurrent Programming on Windows. There is a problem here, and the problem is that the lock keyword in C# is in league with Satan. Synchronised code goes in here. Well not re...

Monday, 18 May 2009. The journey of 1000 miles. Right First things first. Before you can have any reasonable discussion about how best to design applications for the web/cloud, you have to define what the web/cloud actually is, so I'll start with the web, as that's how most things in the world now talk to each other. An end user using a browser asks for a resource in the form of a web address - a URL. Http:/ scalethis.blogspot.com/2009/05/hello-world.html. This URL specifies the protocol. Http:/ ), domain.

Tuesday, 10 November 2009. To be doomed to know the future and not to be believed. Just came across this. Digg. Distributed Datastore. Interesting. Thursday, 5 November 2009. Why would you do that, Larry? Reconciliation, Compensation and Eventual Consistency. In my previous post. I introduced the idea of "Eventual Consistency" and we saw how, due to the CAP theorem, it helps ensure global availability of data by sacrificing its consistency. The simplest way to demonstrate this as a manual process is by q...

My Code Here: Number Systems Redux

http://mycodehere.blogspot.com/2011/03/number-systems-redux.html

Some articles on computing, security, mathematics, science, language, and music. Some not. Wednesday, 16 March 2011. Just What Exactly Is A Number? Lots of feedback about those hypercomplex. Well, some. An email flooded in. Actually to tell the truth, the interest had less to do with hypercomplex numbers. As such, more with the programmable field length. The Natural Numbers N. We start like Romans. With the everyday system of object counting numbers, N. Or more accurately I guess {I, II, III, IV, .};.
