An example of a Raspberry Pi supercomputer cluster
Description
Introduction
For this project, we will be building a multiprocessor supercomputer based on the Raspberry Pi 3. We will use the Single Program Multiple Data architecture to perform multiphysics simulations of various problems of interest, such as colliding galaxies, continuous Fast Fourier Transforms of acquired radio spectrum, and image processing of astronomical photos. During other times, the cluster will be running BOINC processes. Specifically, it will be running SETI@Home and Einstein@Home.
Supercomputing architecures come in multiple forms. A good discussion of these can be found here.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_computing
Our programming languages of choice are Fortran and Python. Fortran has a number of mechanisms for facilitating parallel computing, namely Message Passing Interface (MPI) and Coarrays. Information on MPI in Fortran can be found here:
http://condor.cc.ku.edu/~grobe/docs/intro-MPI.shtml
Information on Fortran Coarrays can be found here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coarray_Fortran
http://www.eneagrid.enea.it/tutorial/fanfarillo2014/AFanfarillo_20141219_CoarrayENEA.pdf
While there are a number of parallel computing enabled Fortran compilers available, the author's preference is to use all open-source hardware and software. A Fortran compiler that fits this criteria is the GNU Fortran compiler with either the OpenCoarrays or OpenMPI extensions and libraries, which can be found here:
https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/GFortran
http://www.opencoarrays.org/
https://www.open-mpi.org/
Our development environment of choice is Eclipse IDE, with the Parallel Tools Platform. The current version of the Eclipse IDE is called NEON, and can be downloaded from here:
https://eclipse.org/home/index.php
Discussion
Supercomputer clusters of Raspberry Pi's have been built by many people as can be seen from a Google search. Many have built these from the Versions Zero, 1, and 2 of the Raspberry Pi. With the advent of the Raspberry Pi 3, it has been noted by many that it's CPU can reach much higher temperatures than it's predecessors. It has also been noted that the CPU contains a speed governor that reduces the clock rate once the core temperature reaches 85 Celcius.
We obviously wish to avoid temperature induced throttling of the CPU in order to maximize supercomputing performance. Additionally, we wish to avoid large quantities of small fans on each of the individual Raspberry Pi's. Several have suggested a water cooled system. In our estimation, this will contain a cold fluid supply rail, a hot fluid return rail, radiator, reservoir / pump combination, and all of the associated plumbing. A fan of appropriate air flow rate will supply cooling air to the radiator.
In addition to designing and building an appropriate water-cooled heatsink for the supercomputer cluster, we will write software that takes advantage of the supercomputer cluster's parallel execution capabilities. Our programming language of choice for this application is Fortran, with the OpenMPI and OpenCoarrays extensions. We will start with simple programs within the Eclipse IDE + Photran + Parallel Tools Platform to visualize and understand the exact sequence of events that take place during parallel execution. We will then move on to more complex programs, and eventually write Python code that makes use of parallel execution libraries.
Watercooled Heatsink Analysis, Design and Thermal Modeling
Watercooled Heatsink Analysis and Design
In what follows, we will analyze the thermal characteristics of the Raspberry Pi 3 and design an appropriate water cooling system for the supercomputer cluster. We will try to calculate the thermal impedance of the Raspberry Pi 3's CPU chip, since vendor supplied datasheets are not available. We use data gathered from various sources on the Internet. We will then use these calculations to estimate the required parameters of our water cooling system.
Finite Element Modeling of the Watercooled Heatsink
After performing calculations to obtain the performance of the watercooled heatsink, and getting an estimate for the required flow rate and radiator characteristics, we will now perform Finite Element Modeling of the design using Salome Meca + Code Aster FEM software.
Fortran Programming for Multiprocessor Supercomputers
Fortran Programming with OpenMPI
In this section, we will write multiprocessor execution Fortran code using the OpenMPI library.
Fortran Programming with Coarrays
In this section, we will write multiprocessor execution Fortran code using Fortran's coarray features.

Why Use CloudI?
CloudI enforces fault-tolerance constraints on source code while allowing source code to be efficient and scalable. With CloudI, you can create a system with Microservices that doesn’t require virtualization or vendor lock-in.
CloudI Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) information that can provide more depth related to these concepts are:
Programming Language CloudI API Tutorials
The tutorials below focus on a single programming language to show that service development with CloudI only requires the use of a single programming language. If a supported programming language doesn’t yet have a tutorial written yet, it is best to refer to the CloudI Examples.

Guidelines For Creating A CloudI Service
The information below can help guide your development of custom services with any supported programming language:
How To Design A Service
Service creation requires splitting functionality based on capabilities so that functionality and its associated development risk is isolated. However, the latency associated with the functionality should also be isolated within the programming language best suited to the task. Part of the decision to isolate service latency is minimizing the amount of data that must be exchanged in service requests.
A common reason for creating a service is to isolate the risk associated with an external component that is sufficiently complex and is likely to require a variable amount of latency which needs to be managed as a unique entity to provide dependable processing (e.g., a large source code library, a database, a messaging bus, a filesystem, a third-party API, etc.). It is also common to create separate services due to source code libraries existing in a separate programming language.
The simplest approach to service development, when creating a new service, is to develop the business logic that is necessary using as many services as required based on design requirements, basic testing, and benchmarking (if required), without isolating the use of external components. Then, as risks are identified during development, functionality can be moved into separate services to manage source code that needs fault tolerance guarantees. With this approach, the business logic will always have fault tolerance guarantees to keep all source code changes (which may include changing the external components used) isolated from other development during the lifetime of the business logic source code service(s).
The main data throughput to the business logic should utilize CloudI service requests for reliable timeouts and service redundancy. Often the main data throughput is HTTP protocol usage coming from any of the provided HTTP servers (both cloudi_service_http_cowboy and cloudi_service_http_elli are Erlang CloudI services for HTTP servers). The incoming HTTP requests are automatically load-balanced among the available services, based on the incoming URL path matching a service name pattern for a pool of service processes.
CloudI services provide process pooling automatically when their configuration has a count_process or count_thread (of an external service) greater than 1. A CloudI service’s process pooling can be adjusted dynamically based on the incoming service request rate by using the count_process_dynamic service configuration option. When a service request is sent it will automatically select a service execution process (which represents an external service thread within an OS process or an internal service Erlang process within the Erlang VM) randomly from those available, due to subscribing with the same service name pattern.
Relying on this process pooling keeps services dependable and helps to reduce their potential complexity, since a service developer only needs to focus on developing serial source code. The main exception to the pursuit of serial source code is due to the use of global state, which may require locking for consistency. Ideally, the use of global state can be avoided in the service source code because global state usage naturally increases latency unless low-level atomic operations are used to avoid locking.
What Programming Language Should Be Used For Service Development?
The decision of what programming language to use is generally based on the knowledge of the developer. The libraries that already exist and are known to be dependable will often determine which programming language to use.
If the system (the combination of services during development) will be sending service requests from many separate services or will be receiving service requests within many separate services, usage of separate programming languages for each separate service can increase the computational requirements for the system, or at least will be a service configuration task to determine based on the computing resources available. External CloudI service instances (any CloudI service written in a programming language that doesn’t execute on the Erlang VM) can create more than one OS process, but must create at least one OS process, so that service memory is isolated and the service processing is fault-tolerant. If the service request messaging is able to keep many separate external CloudI services busy the processing will be at the mercy of the OS kernel scheduler, which may make it easy to exhaust the computational resources available.
Controlling the potential service request latency with the selection of the programming languages can avoid prematurely exhausting computational resources. A good approach is using as few programming languages that can reasonably be used for the business logic design. Based on CloudI loadtesting (ordered based on average latency during the loadtest), service requests are handled with low latency in Erlang/Elixir, C/C++, OCaml, Java, Python/C, Haskell, Go (less than 6 milliseconds) and higher latency in Python, Ruby, Perl, PHP, Javascript/node.js (greater than 2000 milliseconds, when under high load) due to inefficiencies within the programming language runtimes. By considering the latency requirements of the system early during development it will be easier to scale the deployment and avoid wasted development effort.
If a programming language that runs on the Erlang VM is used, it is possible to develop with finer-grained fault tolerance in an internal CloudI service due to the usage of Erlang processes (similar to user-level threads with isolated memory) by CloudI. External CloudI services require that the memory used for execution of the service is isolated within an OS process and it is possible to hide an extreme amount of risk to reliability within a single external service instance, making this approach coarser-grained fault tolerance.
What Data Format Should Be Used For Service Development?
CloudI’s service request and response data (i.e., request_info, request, response_info, response) is protocol agnostic, so any data format can be used for CloudI service communication. External services can only receive data that is sent as a binary type in the programming language used for the service request send. However, internal services can receive data of any type, though it is common to use binary types to allow the processing of service requests sent from external services.
If you require a "universal protocol" (i.e., a protocol that can encode types from any programming language and handle them transparently in other programming languages), you may be disappointed to find out that no complete solution exists. If you approach the concept of a "universal protocol" as only handling the most minimal and common types available in programming languages, msgpack is a popular choice. The data format should be based on the requirements and it may require a human readable format, with JSON as a popular choice.
There is nothing that prevents the usage of multiple data formats by a single CloudI service and typically a file extension suffix is used in the service name pattern to distinguish between different data formats.

Big Bang Theory and Glee actress Jane Galloway Heitz dies aged 78
Jane Galloway Heitz was best known for playing Lillian Adler in Glee and appearing in The Big Bang Theory, Grey's Anatomy, Prison Break and the CSI series
by Irishmirror.ieJane Galloway Heitz, who appeared in Glee and The Big Bang Theory, has died aged 78.
The actress was probably best known for playing Lillian Adler in Glee, who was William McKinley High School’s former glee club director, reports Entertainment Weekly.
Heitz managed to appear at both ends of the show’s six year run, appearing in the director’s cut of the pilot, in 2009, and the 2015 finale.
The character played by Galloway Heitz was important in the story of Glee and her photo was displayed in the club's choir room.
It hung above a plaque which read: "By its very definition, Glee is about opening yourself up to joy."
The death of Galloway Heitz was confirmed in US media after her obituary was published with her funeral set to be held on Saturday, November 30, in Illinois.
Her family is asking that donations are sent toeither the American Heart Association or the American Diabetes Association, in lieu of flowers.
As well as her roles in Glee and The Big Bang Theory, Heitz also appeared in popular US shows Shameless, the CSI series, Monk, Prison Break and Grey's Anatomy.
Galloway Heitz was born on September 18, 1941, in Minneapolis and she attended the University of Minnesota for a couple of years before leaving for Chicago in her early 20s.
It was here, while she was acting, that Galloway Heitz opened a casting business, where she helped with the early careers of Stephen Colbert, Steve Carell and Richard Kind.
Eric Stonestreet, has credited Galloway Heitz for his success on Modern Family.
She sold the agency in 1997 so that she could pursue her passion for acting full-time.
Galloway Heitz earned rave reviews for her debut in a feature film as a neighbour of Sissy Spacek and Richard Farnsworth's characters in The Straight Story (1999), which was directed by David Lynch.

I'm interested in a multitude of things outside of coding, but the main one is stand-up comedy. I listen to stand-up like most people listen to music. My all-time favorite comedian is Doug Stanhope. He's not very well-known, but his fellow comics consider him one of the greatest. I also like Louis CK, Bill Burr, Anthony Jeselnik, George Carlin, and many more. My biggest dream in life is to become a professional comedian, so I spend most of my free time pursuing that goal.
Another one of my main interests is film. I really enjoy the technical side of filmmaking, mainly post-production, and I've had a few freelance gigs as a motion graphics artist and video editor. Once I have a job as a programmer, all of my extra money is going to go towards film equipment so I can start bringing some of my ideas to life again.
I became interested in computer programming after taking an MBTI personality test. My personality type is INTP, and I found that programming was one of the most popular careers for INTPs. I was already on the computer all the time, so I figured I may as well learn how to put that time to good use.
From there, I began doing coding tutorials at home, which was thoroughly challenging and enjoyable. I decided that I would like to do it for a career, and the fast-paced environment of Epicodus was very intriguing. Rather than go to college for four years, I decided I'd rather work dilegently at Epicodus for five months and go straight into the workforce. Hopefully, it all pays off!

I am a diabetic who drinks Alcohol whenever I can get some. This is not so much a certain experience, but an overall experience. I have grown to learn that when I drink lets say anywhere from 4 to 11 beers one night the next day around 12:00 or so my blood sugar drops very low. Not only do I get low the next day I have a major hangover and it impairs my ability to tell if I'm low in the first place. So I have made a certain list of adaptations to dealing with my blood sugar while drinking.
1. I always check my blood level before I even start drinking to make sure I'm not starting off at a low level.
2. I always make sure that I check my blood level during the drunkiness. I know this sounds hard, but I keep track of numbers as much as possible so I know where I am.
3. I always let someone know or drink with someone who does know about diabetes. Also I make sure that person knows how to treat a low blood level if it should occur.
4. After I have fallen to sleep and I wake up the next morning with a pounding headache, I check my blood level to make sure it isn't low already.
*I am sure to check often the next day to ensure that I will catch the blood level falling. Cause it will fall at some point, I just have to figure out when!!!
I hope this helps some other fellow diabetic to keep it under control while drinking alcohol.

KaBoom! is a third person tank war game project in development by SQUAREONE Studio. The background sets in an abandoned land with deserted landscape referencing from games with post-apocalyptic settings such as Mad Max or Fallout. The environment shown in this project is not intended as a playable area, but as a demo of the atmosphere and style we strive for.
In this project, I am heavily involved in the game environment creation process. I am responsible to model, texture and design the environmental features. I started by researching and experimenting with the texturing techniques in Substance Painter. After having my simple garbage bin model uv mapped in maya and imported into painter, I worked with the powerful tools provided by painter and achieved photo-realistic result easily. With the effective result, our team decided to adapt our workflow to fully using Painter to texture all our models. I am also responsible to compose the scene in Unreal Engine. Based on the concept art generated by our talented artists, we try to achieve similar atmosphere with the placement of buildings, visual effects and render settings. At the end, I have also worked with another member on the camera placement and animation.
This project is highly supervised in a studio environment. I have to closely report to our manager and iterate based on feedback immediately. While being able to show my team how awesome technologies can help make our models and textures more realistic and make our job easier, I am still new to the softwares. I have solved countless issues through researching and watching tutorials online. For example, my teammate would keep forgetting to bake the meshes' base maps, which can lead to missing data for painter's calculations. There are also problems associated with transparency, brushes allocation and packaging texture cluster for reuse. I am able to solve those problems for our team through research, explain and clear demonstrations.
One of the interesting obstacle is our struggle to keep our polycount as low as possible while retaining the realism. When making a wood plank, I try give a small object hundreds of edge-loop on each side in Maya, in order to
have enough vertices to simulate
the bumpy texture. I end up with a massive amount of polycount each wood plank placed into a building. It was funny when I report the polycounts to our team lead:
Main walls, the biggest part of the building : 122
TinOilBucket: 5920
The Air Fan and desk and chairs: 85017
All the Wood Planks : 154194
One Tire : 17600
ALL TIRES : 246484
I end up having to reducing polycounts of some of the objects and rather apply height and normal maps in painter instead.
Working in this project definately improved my problem solving skill and my ability to work closely with my team. Under high pressure, I learned to stay calm and identify the problem's cuases. After finding a solutions, I have also learned to communicate to my team effectively about the problems and how we should solve them. Through the hard work in this project, I also became more careful and dedicated to generate “game ready” assets with low-polycount and high fidelity textures. I gathered experience in environmental modeling and scene creation.

Hello world!
Welcome to my Begginer project
I'm a student intersted in learning coding and using it to solve ocurring world problems.
Here are some of the problems i hope to solve once i gain the knowledge required


When I started learning about EDA, the Human Skills component of the course really struck me.
A school that teaches people to be awesome programmers that also values empathy, compassion and kindness?!
I was immediately sold.
Emotional intelligence enables three important skill sets: optimal work performance, leadership skills,
and the ability to create an environment where happiness thrives.
Emotional intelligence (EQ) is equally, if not more important than more ‘technical’ intelligence such as logical-mathematical.
We are recognising this shift in different studies which has seen that those who are strong in both emotional and ‘rational’ intelligence
outperform their peers who lack EQ but are strong in technical intelligence.
When we are attuned to our intuition and developing our emotional intelligence, we are able to leverage this to perform at a higher
level than we ever knew we were capable of. We do this through improving our self-awareness, self-management, social awareness and relationship
management.
I’m not a stranger to mindfulness - I practice meditation and yoga about 3-4 times a week. I started my journey about eight years ago
when I was a highly strung, angsty teen starting uni. It really has changed my life and helped me become the calm, resilient and happy
person I am today.
I really liked how the chapter broke down mindfulness really simply into the ‘Easy’ and ‘Easier’ way. In the Easy Way we bring gentle
and consistent attention to your breath for two minutes. In the Easier Way we simply sit without an agenda for two minutes. Surely we
all have two minutes of our day to spare to sit in stillness!


Theme skinning is the easiest way to build a decent looking theme in HAXcms. This method is geared toward people that know CSS and HTML but can't get into the weeds of web components or javascript.
Workflow
This is the easiest way to skin HAXcms to your liking. It's able to ship and work in CDNs and is the minimal barrier to entry for those used to seeing HTML and CSS files that they can touch and see the change. It requires no tooling to utilize either!

Players in a circle. One player starts with first word of a (non-existing) proverb; circle continues, one word at a time, until the group 'feels' the proverb is done; at that point everybody says 'yes yes yes yes'. Hint: start with (a) typical proverb word(s), like 'A', 'He who', etc.
Excellent warm-up, and great introduction to Accepting .
Pick a group activity, like throwing a party or organizing a picnic. One player starts, saying "Lets ..." filling in what she wants to do. Then she starts actually doing what she said she wanted to do. A second player jumps in, saying "Let
s ..." do something else, to advance the group activity. Both players say "Yes, let`s do that" and start doing whatever suggested. Third player jumps in, suggests what to do, and again all players loudly agree to do it, and actually do it. Continue till everyone has suggested something.

An important problem we recognized is that the rising acidity and temperature of our oceans has left our corals in extreme danger. Therefore, we created a product that will have an immense positive impact on our Earth so that our generation and the future generations can enjoy the beauty of our planet.
We want to rid people of the mindset that they alone can not solve climate change. Everyone has to do their part to reduce their carbon emissions in order to stop the planet from warming. Otherwise global warming will be imminent and inevitable. Connect using our social media and join the community of people who want to make an impact.
Solving the world's problems can be fun. We devised enjoyable carbon neutral and carbon negative activities/products that you can do/use with friends and family to benefit the earth and help save the coral!

Sunflower Sutra
I walked on the banks of the tincan banana dock and sat down under the huge shade of a Southern Pacific locomotive to look for the sunset over the box house hills and cry.
Jack Kerouac sat beside me on a busted rusty iron pole, companion, we thought the same thoughts of the soul, bleak and blue and sad-eyed, surrounded by the gnarled steel roots of trees of machinery.
The only water on the river mirrored the red sky, sun sank on top of final Frisco peaks, no fish in that stream, no hermit in those mounts, just ourselves rheumy-eyed and hung-over like old bums on the riverbank, tired and wily.

A perfect beauty of a sunflower! a perfect excellent lovely sunflower existence! a sweet natural eye to the new hip moon, woke up alive and excited grasping in the sunset shadow sunrise golden monthly breeze!

This is a simple
double pendulum simulation experiment. Key pendulum parameters are outlined below. The simulation numerically
integrates the differential equations of motion for α₁ and α₂ in order to determine the pendulum
mass positions θ₁ and θ₂. These equations can be derived from the Euler-Lagrange differential equations
for θ₁ and θ₂, which can be formulated analytically from the double pendulum model as described
here. The pendulum is rendered based on the calculated pendulum positions.
m₁: upper pendulum mass
m₂: lower pendulum mass
l₁: length of the link connecting m₁ to the pendulum anchor
l₂: length of the link connecting m₂ to m₁
θ₁: the angular position of m₁ about the pendulum anchor
θ₂: the angular position of m₂ about m₁
ω₁: the angular velocity of m₁ about the pendulum anchor
ω₂: the angular velocity of m₂ about m₁
α₁: the angular acceleration of m₁ about the pendulum anchor
α₂: the angular acceleration of m₂ about m₁
Note: The default integration scheme generally tends to loose energy over time; however, certain pendulum configurations
will cause the opposite effect to occur.
For this simulation, the equations for α₁ and α₂ were sourced from
here.


I don't know how to do anything crazy but I just want to find some cool words. Ok?

I participated in the Kaggle DecMeg competition and it was a great experience. I came 114 out of 273 :) I approached it from a image processing point of view than the machine learning perspective. From comparing the winning codes, it can be seen that deep-learning approach wins by a huge margin. My question here is that do we really learn anything from applying the machine learning method. I understand that machine learns the characteristics of the data perfectly well. However, does that mean that we can get a good understanding of the underlying physical phenomeanon?
Here is a pictorial representation of the competition.
Comparing my code to the winners I find that my way of thinking is not really what the machine learning people think. It was a great machine learning experience! My code is in GitHub now.

Photo: The SEC Championship Trophy Has Arrived At LSU
by Tzvi MachlinThe LSU Tigers are coming off a decisive SEC Championship victory over Georgia and now head into the College Football Playoff as the No. 1 team in the nation. But before their Peach Bowl tilt with Oklahoma, they have some time to chill and enjoy the fruits of their labor.
For starters, they get to go back to Baton Rouge and celebrate with their newly-minted SEC title. And it looks like they’ll have their chance to party soon.
A photo from the LSU facilities shows that the SEC Championship trophy has been delivered to the school.
The trophy depicts a trio of football players battle in the trenches.At the bottom of the trophy are the words, “Louisiana State University: 2019 Champion.”
The Tigers are 13-0 for the first time since 2011 thanks in part to a Heisman-caliber season from quarterback Joe Burrow. LSU’s signal caller is breaking just about LSU single-season passing record and SEC passing record.
Burrow had 349 yards and four touchdowns in Saturday’s 37-10 win over the Bulldogs. He broke the SEC single-season touchdown record in the process.
LSU now heads into late-December as winners of their last 14 games and boasting one of the best offenses in the nation.
Let the celebrations commence!

--- layout: post authors: ["Greg Wilson"] title: "Tools, Conversations, and Cultures" date: 2013-12-31 time: "18:00:00" tags: ["Opinion"] favorite: true ---
Philip Guo is best known these days for The Ph.D. Grind, but I first met him through his Online Python Tutor. He helped teach a bootcamp for librarians last August, and recently wrote a blog post about the two cultures of computing that he encountered there. On one side he sees users who treat software as a tool for getting things done; on the other, he sees programmers who hold conversations with their software. The former use stand-alone GUIs backed by binary file formats (like Word and Excel), while the latter use command-line interfaces and text (like the shell, LaTeX, and Python). He writes:
The 35 students all came from user culture, whereas the 6 instructors all came from programmer culture. Not only did the students need to learn new technical skills, but they also had to get accustomed to the ways of programmer culture. And some instructors—who had been living firmly in that culture for decades—had a hard time relating to the students, despite their most sincere efforts.
As a result, it was sometimes hard to motivate students to learn programming-related skills, since they felt like they could accomplish similar things with the tools that they already knew. And it's not just this one isolated event: when I've witnessed programmers teaching beginners in several other contexts, this same Two Cultures schism keeps cropping up again and again.
Philip then enumerates some examples that will be familiar to most Software Carpentry instructors:
| Typing "widgets" into Spotlight | vs. | find . -name '*.py' | xargs grep widgets |
| Rich text editing in Word | vs. | ASCII editors that don't even do italics |
| "Create chart" in Excel | vs. | writing 15 lines of matplotlib after installing the right libraries |
| Copy-rename-email | vs. | "hours of jargon-filled confusion and typo-laden frustration" to learn Git |
| "Track changes" in Word | vs. | typing backslash-gibberish in LaTeX so that you can use version control |
Looking at this list, it actually is easier for users to do the things they're currently doing with the tools they're currently using. The conversational approach only pays off at scale, and even then only after investing a lot of time [1].
Okay, so as an experienced programmer, what can you do to help beginners learn?
I think the most important first step is to acknowledge that students are often coming from a vastly different culture than the one you inhabit, and that programmer culture just seems weird to them.
...
You need to gently introduce students to why these tools will eventually make them more productive in the long run, even though there is a steep learning curve at the outset. Start slow, be supportive along the way, and don't disparage the GUI-based tools that they are accustomed to using, no matter how limited you think those tools are...
In the short run he's right: given the tools we have, all we can do is keep Glass's Law in mind [2] and teach what's most rewarding first [3]. But Philip's "two cultures" aren't a reflection of some deep physical law. The split is an artifact of history, and there are lots of systems that deliver the best of both worlds. High-end computer animation tools like Houdini and Maya let people mix graphical interaction with textual scripting, and while hard-core programmers may sneer at Microsoft's Office suite, it's amazing what can be built by combining Excel's direct manipulation of data with scripting in Visual Basic.
Unfortunately, the key word in the preceding sentence is "sneer". When personal computers started offering human-friendly interfaces in the early 1980s, "real" programmers reacted with self-righteous envy [4]. That attitude became part of programming culture, and is one reason why programming has stagnated over the last 30 years [5,6]. We create rich interfaces for everyone else, but refuse to use them ourselves; we insist that everything must be text, then wonder why people who know that you can style text and draw pictures in documents won't believe us when we say we know better. It's cultural imperialsim, pure and simple: we're so convinced that we're right, and that they should join us, that we can't see how much we could learn from them.
Ten years ago, I confidently predicted that programmers were finally about to see the light:
We could still be writing and viewing programs a byte at a time in 2010... But do you really believe that will happen? Do you really believe that ours will be the only documents that aren't marked up, that can't contain heterogeneous content, that aren't processed by extensible frameworks?
For once in my life, I was an optimist. You still can't embed a diagram directly in the source code of your program—the closest you can get is something like an image in an IPython Notebook, but there's no semantic connection between the two, You certainly can't embed a spreadsheet in a Python source file, even when tabular dataflow would be the most natural way to express a computation, and most of us are still piping lines of text from tool to tool, even though PowerShell showed years ago that piping objects is both practical and more powerful [7].
I still believe we'll fix this eventually. Some day, someone will build a system that separates models from views so that people can freely combine an ever-growing mix of notations and formats to inspect and control every aspect of their computer's operation [8]. That system will allow users to have conversations with their tools, and give programmers the moral license they seem to feel they need to join the 21st Century. Until it arrives, though, we should do more than gently explain to students that our antiquated tools will eventually make them more productive. We should apologize for not building something better, and promise to try harder.
Footnotes:
find
piped to xargs
seems natural.
The result is what's called "expert blind spot",
often signalled by over-use of the passive-dismissive adjective "just"
(as in, "you just blar blarg blargle").

54 Reviewed by Jamie Peck
Studio 54 was a haven for the rich, famous and generally good-looking before it closed its doors forever in 1986. Inside, anything went and, we are told, everything did. The film's fictional main character is Shane O'Shea (Ryan Phillippe, the jerky jock from "I Know What You Did Last Summer"), a fresh-faced 19-year-old who dreams of venturing beyond the club's velvet rope and coming face-to-face with the wild decadence he can only read about in magazines. His wish comes true when Studio 54 owner Steve Rubell (Mike Myers) spots him amongst a crowd of gawkers one night in '79 and permits him passage - but not before he doffs his hideous shirt, of course.
Once inside, Shane becomes seduced by the club's dizzying vortex of sex and drugs. He has such a good time that he doesn't want to leave, so he seeks employment as a busboy. He quickly becomes friends with Greg (Breckin Meyer) and Anita (Salma Hayek), a married couple who work along side of him; Greg's a fellow busboy with aspirations to make the big money as a Studio 54 bartender, while Anita checks coats but desires a recording contract to call her own. After rubbing elbows (among other things) with a renowned socialite (Sela Ward) and gaining the personal interest of Rubell, Shane begins to ascend to the upper echelons of 54. But fame doesn't come without a price.
"54"'s major shortcomings lie within its handling of the supporting players - at a slim hour-and-a-half, the film is too short to take on such a multi-character focus, and more than a few balls are dropped in the resulting juggling act. Alleged last-minute edits and reshoots are more than likely to blame for the occasionally rushed development and ambiguous interaction, since "54" sometimes feels like it's missing a scene here or there. Nowhere is this more apparent than in Shane's relationship with soap opera actress Julie Black (Neve Campbell), a frequent Studio 54 patron whom he's long admired from afar. The romance is prodded along before it has a chance to transform into something special.
That "54" works despite these limitations, then, is largely due to the competence and energy with which it's assembled. Sure, it's shallow, slick, sanitized portrait of a bygone age, and sure, we've seen the rags-to-riches story gazillions of times, but debut director and screenwriter Mark Christopher keeps things moving with lively snapshots of the Studio 54 hustle and bustle and an even livelier cast to inhabit his bouncy vision. The film boasts some fine comic creativity, the pinnacle of which is Disco Dottie ("The Wedding Singer"'s Ellen Dow), an elderly dancing queen who plays the loving grandmother in public, but slides up to Shane behind 54's closed doors and asks for a "funky little treat."
The solid, sexy cast smooths out - if only while you're caught up in the film - any rough spots belonging to their alter-egos or the plot. Newcomer Phillippe has the charisma and Joisey accent down pat; he and Campbell, as fetching as ever, look so good together it's a shame their subplot goes nowhere. Meyer exhibits the congenial appeal that made him a delight to watch in "Clueless" (he was the stoner with the Joker-smile), while Hayek simply sizzles, especially when leading a dance class with the mantra, "One, two, three, attitude!" Sherry Stringfield, unidentifiable under big '70s hair, takes on her first big-screen gig since she left "ER" as Rubell's accountant, but she's criminally underused.
As the droopy-eyed, drug-addled Steve Rubell, Myers is worth the price of admission alone. When he's not playing the life of the party, the ex-"Saturday Night Live" comedian strips away all of Rubell's confidence and swagger to show a man desperately trying to fill his empty, unhappy life with exorbitance; it's a moment worthy of pity when, while lounging on a bed of money and vomiting from a particularly heavy evening, he attempts to seduce one of his employees. And while his performance is largely serious, Myers mixes the empathy with a delicate "Austin Powers"-esque wink, thus keeping consistent with "54"'s overall feel - gaudy, larger-than-life and satisfyingly ornamental, not unlike a giant disco ball.
