The Ways Of the Robot
by Steve Smith on Feb 26, 1:00 PM
am just about ready to toss the damn plastic guitar and the bloody "Rock Band" game it came with through the frickin' 60-inch Sony HD display that is taunting me with my failure. Until I realize, this is a 60-inch Sony HD display. What am I, crazy? Just frustrated and... wait for it... humiliated by a 16-year-old. "You're not that bad, Dad, really. Come on, maybe they have something from Fleetwood Mac you can play." So, believing stupidly that the cell phone variant would be more satisfying, I gave the new Android App Store a whirl by buying its $9.99 ...

Android Gets A Buy Button
by Steve Smith on Feb 24, 3:15 PM
ABI has an interesting research note out this week on the popularity of paid apps. Its survey of an admittedly small sample (235 smartphone users in the U.S.) found that a surprising 16.5% of them had spent between $100 and $499 on mobile apps in 2008. That is a lot of app buying, even at the higher price points business users might pay for productivity applications on non-iPhone smartphones. But if ABI's stats are in the ballpark, the mixed model of free and paid in the app stores seems to be raising all boats.

The Wisdom Of (My) Crowd
by Steve Smith on Feb 19, 12:30 PM
After a year of using Facebook - and, more recently, Twitter -- my respect for social networking as a real productivity tool has increased immeasurably. I admit to being a laggard on "social," if only because I am one of those stereotypical shut-in scribes. The value of a virtual network of all the friends I didn't have eluded me. Of course, as veterans of those platforms knew long before I figured it out, the network of professionals you do assemble around you on these services become invaluable sources of ideas, contacts and information.

To App Or Not To App
by Steve Smith on Feb 17, 12:00 PM
I have no idea whether the March release of the "Watchmen" film will live up to its considerable build-up, but this is one of those rare times when I find myself rooting for the hype. If the final product reflects the polish and drama promised in the marketing, I have already warned my daughter I will be dragging her to see this one a few times.

Love -- And Cheating -- Are In the Air
by Steve Smith on Feb 12, 12:15 PM
"What are we doing this weekend, Hunnneee?" I don't know who the hell is responsible for letting Valentine's Day fall on a Saturday this year. Whoever you are, there are a few million of us guys ready to meet you in a dark alley, you dumbass. Dinner and chocolates just got upgraded to an entire day of romantic expectations. Way to raise the bar! I try to deflect attention from my romantic ineptitude by carting out a survey the mobile social network MocoSpace just sent me. "Do you really want to go out on a date?" I ask. "Did you ...

A Clickable World Revisited
by Steve Smith on Feb 10, 1:15 PM
You never know with kids. At a local university last week I was doing my "gadget guy" routine for a class of Comp Sci 101 students. This is a little dog and pony show I perform each term that walks students through the editorial side of the tech and digital media industries. It also gives me the opportunity to cart out the latest toys manufacturers send me for review. Amidst all the wizardry -- the Kindle, the palm-sized HD camcorder, the laptop HDTV, etc. -- one bit of coolness got a satisfying "ooh." They really perked up when I whipped ...

Turkeys, Turkeys Everywhere
by Steve Smith on Feb 5, 12:16 PM
Graying digerati like me will recall a program that NYTimes.com tried years ago, called "surround session" advertising. In this model, a single sponsor would follow the user wherever she roamed at the site with the brand message. By targeting users, not just pages and context, the Times was creating the feel of a fully sponsored experience that had a lot of possibilities.

Blown Bowl
by Steve Smith on Feb 3, 2:45 PM
Apparently I am not alone in my disappointment over mobile marketing's showing in Sunday's Super Bowl. I would like to get more of your reactions to this year's tepid, predictable effort (not that I am leading the tone of the discussions, mind you) below and perhaps explore what the next steps should be for mobile-leveraging the big event. I have my own thoughts, as you will see.

3rd Workshop on Parallel-in-Time Integration
Parallel Multi-level Methods in Space and Time

With million-way concurrency at hand, the efficient use of modern HPC systems has become one of the key challenges in computational science and engineering. Besides optimal implementation strategies, novel mathematical concepts are needed to fully exploit massively parallel architectures. For the numerical solution of time-dependent partial differential equations, time-parallel methods have recently shown to provide a promising way to extend prevailing strong-scaling limits of numerical codes. This workshop brings together scientists from the fields of multigrid methods and parallel-in-time integration in order to discuss similarities between parallel multilevel algorithms in space and time, their applications and their combination.

Golf-Ready Polos from Criquet
With the style-centric triumphs (and foibles) of the Masters fresh in our memory, it goes without saying we've got golf apparel on the brain. And, interestingly enough, the cornerstone of the sport's uniform — the polo shirt — is a hot ticket item this season. So, how to take advantage of this overlap? Obviously you'll want to avoid wearing a $1,000 cashmere polo from Prada on the fairway. Instead, might we suggest the understated versions offered up by Austin-based operaion Criquet?
While splashy colors and logo-happy trimmings might be preferred by professionals, the average player should go subtle — after all, you don't have any sponsors to appease — and as you can see, Criquet has the subtlety thing down. Their polos feature a slim (but not skinny) cut, a button-down chest pocket (for keeping score cards, pencils and extra tees handy), come in a short-sleeve and long sleeve styles, and are made from 100% certified-organic cotton. Pair them with a light pair of khakis and white shoes, and you're all set — in terms of appearance, that is. In terms of your swing? Well, we can't help you there.
For more information on Criquet, visit cirquetshirts.com.

So GoodJun/Jul 2012 Issue
No Tomatoes, No Potatoes
Eating well without nightshades
When I was growing up, my family feasted on tomatoes during the summer months. Our meals, a reflection of my mothers upbringing, northern French cuisine, also included lots of potatoes, my Irish fathers influence. Once I got a taste of Mediterranean foods, I fell in love with peppers and eggplant. Then the colors, textures and aromas of Mexican and Asian cuisines, especially the chilies, drew me in. Little by little, these foods would turn on me.

Interview with Joss, Amy and Alexis at Shakespeare's Globe.
A five-minute chat with video; it's dated last Wednesday but I don't think it's been posted here yet. Joss has already tweeted a couple of rather spiffy photos from the occasion: here and here.
Fixed. Thank you, and please accept my impending-apocalypse-dwarfing contrition for such stunning ineptitude.
Seeing them in the Globe gives me such a geeky delight. I've enjoyed watching these interviews with Joss together with Amy and Alexis, as well as the ones with other actors in the film. You can really see the connection and friendship they have with each other.
I just checked on fandango.com and saw the film is playing here in Charlotte, NC starting this friday at the Regal Manor Twin.

It looks like users will have to be willing to jailbreak their iPhones in order to experience the benefits of the WiFi Application. This really has come at no surprise, as it approaches boundaries that Apple is unwilling to cross.
Many apps are rejected everyday but this one really deserves some special mention. The application would work in tandem with a helper app on your Mac and enable iTunes so that your iPhone or iPad could sync wirelessly over the local network.
Apple representatives told the creator, while the app does not break any actually rules in  Apple's Terms and Service agreement for creating apps, it does "encroach upon the boundaries of what they can and can not allow on their store."
Messing with Apple's sync technology has always been a pretty big "don't touch area" but this is one app that really helped the iPhone/iPad as it is technology that should have shipped with the platforms in the first place.
Maybe Apple is just jealous that they hadn't thought of it first, or that the technology as done by Apple is in development? Either way, if you want it now you are going to have to jailbreak your product.
The app is available now on Cydia for an easy price of $9.99.

A little while before the coming of 499, the First Age, Brodda was involved in a battle that took place inside the hall of his own grandious home. He was ultimately murdered by Túrin in his rage, even though Brodda was innocent and befriended Túrin.

Spring Birds and Summer Challenges
I met some new little friends in May as a pair of robins built their nest in the forsythia bush in my parents' yard. We discovered the family when my nephew was trimming the bush, and nearly cut the branches that held the nest. Thankfully, he saw the nest in time and quit trimming, but it was a big shock as the parents had done such a great job of hiding the nest, we had no idea the babies were there.
At first, we were afraid the nest would no longer have enough shelter since the bush had been trimmed, but luckily that wasn't the case and the babies continued to thrive and grow. I loved checking on them and watching their progress.
Yesterday morning, my mom saw one of the little birds fly away and, sure enough, by the end of the day they were all gone. When I went to check on them yesterday afternoon, the nest was completely empty, and had the look of a vacant house. No traces of the little bird family remained.
I can't deny I'll miss checking in on these guys. But, it was somehow fitting that as the temperatures soared and the holiday marked the start of summer here in the US, the little birds of spring went away.
As May ends and the summer months begin, I am measuring my progress on some ongoing challenges.
I joined the 400 Mile Fitness Challenge back in February, and I have found it to be very motivating. I love watching my little runner move forward on my exercise ticker, and was excited to see her reach the halfway point last week. I want to say thank you again to Shanae Branham at Triumph and Tears for taking over hosting duties on the challenge, and keeping it going. I'm anxious to continue on, and look forward to staying on track with early morning walks this summer.
Unfortunately, staying on track with my writing challenge isn't really possible, as I'm so far off the track I can't even see it. I signed up for May...You Write Your Novel at the beginning of May, with the goal of writing 1000 words a day and ending up with 80,000 words by July 19th. By now, I should have around 30,000 words. What do I have instead? About 8500.
I can only blame this on my typical pattern of procrastinating until the last possible minute to complete anything. If MYWYN had been an assignment back when I was in school, I would have been up all night on July 18th trying to hammer out as many words as possible. Old habits die hard.
So May was a bust for me on this challenge, but I'm determined to make June better. I still have 50 days to go until the end of MYWYN, so I can start now, give myself a kick in the pants, and crank out those words. I'm turning to one of my favorite motivational quotes to get inspired.
Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better. ~ Samuel Beckett
Happy June, everyone!

Aww, those baby birds are so adorable! Great capture! So nice you were able to watch them grow like that. :)
I'm keeping my fingers crossed on the MYWYN challenge! 50 days to go doesn't sound all too bad, I know you can do it. :)Hang in there.
Congrats on the 400 miles challenge, 204 miles is so great!Julie it is a pleasure to meet you. Thank you for stopping by my blog. I lived in Cleveland Ohio for twenty years.
I totally understand procrastination. We're very good friends. But, you should not let it get you down. I don't like setting goals like that because they get me off track. Your mind should be on writing not deadlines. Stay in your write mind...You are lucky to have the nest where you can watch it. I have a new baby bat, well under my deck. :)
Best of luck with June, cheer, cheer!!
Jules @ Trying To Get Over The Rainbow@Carrie, good luck with the revisions!! I can imagine you must be really excited. :)
@Karen, thank you. Oh, I bet that little screech owl was cute! I don't think I've ever seen a baby owl up close, how adorable.
@L.G., good point, thanks!
@Carina, thanks so much, I appreciate it! And I just loved those little birds, they were so cute.
@stacey, thank you, happy summer to you as well! Thanks so much for coming by.
@Orlando, thanks for coming by, great to meet a former fellow Ohioan! You have a good point about deadlines, maybe that is the best course for me to take as well.
@Julie, that's so nice of you to say, thank you so much!
@Michelle, good point, I hadn't thought of it that way. Thanks!
@Jules, I did feel lucky to be able to see the nest like this, I've never been able to see little birds so clearly before. Thanks so much for the good luck wishes! Best wishes to you for June as well. :)
@Melissa, it's so true, they were gone so quickly I couldn't believe it! Thanks for your encouraging words, I do just need to do it, very true.
@lormandela, oh, thanks for leaving me something, I will be by your blog to see, thanks so much! Always fun to have a surprise! :)Great job on your 400 mile challenge. 1/2 way there is great! I could not think of 1000 words a day for a novel so I guess that is why I'm not a author! Rats, I can picture me at book signings but first I have to write the book!!! Where to start, what to say, what to do with it when it's done. So many questions, no answers.
ReplyDeleteI understand procrastination all too well. With challenges like these, though, I think they can be used to help me slide into a routine or push past a roadblock, so even if you don't complete your original goal, starting partway through is nothing to be ashamed of. It's good to challenge ourselves, but not to let it turn into something else to beat ourselves up about, you know? Good luck with your fitness challenge and the MYWYN challenge!

Thinking of killing my daughters pet rabbit!The rabbit is ill, it has a tumor (possibly or an abscess behind the eyes) which is visible about the size of one eye and oozes puss. It requires twice daily eye drops and medication which I administer after bathing the rabbits face; as my daughter cannot do this. It lives in the house now and whilst it used to run around the whole of the ground floor it doesn't venture out of he kitchen now. (It uses the cats litter tray, if you were wondering...the cat goes outside!)An operation on the eye would cost around £350, and has a 30% chance of success, euthanasia at the vets would cost £75. My daughter is away at the moment spending Christmas with her mother (she lives with me normally I have care). My father suggested I just give it a quick twist of the neck, he was brought up on a farm; I on the other hand generally feel bad about swatting a fly, I've thought about enticing it outside with a carrot and then whacking poor creature on the neck with the garden spade, giving it an appropriate burial and telling my daughter it died, saving myself £75, which at the moment I could'nt afford to waste. The repeat medication is £65 per couple of months.What should I do, and if I did the deed, could I live with it on my conscience? Apart from the remote possibility of my daughter finding out the truth, is there anything else I need to think about?This is a real dilemma for me, advice please.

WOMEN are making strides in both India and China, which together are home to a third of humanity. They are living longer and are more likely to be able to read and write than ever before. In democratic India, more than a million women have been elected to village councils in the past decade.
Yet, despite this progress, female fetuses are being aborted at startling rates in China and across broad swaths of India, new census data shows. As the population of girls relative to boys has tumbled in northern and western India over the past decade, these regions have begun to catch up with China's dismal statistics. The spread of ultrasound technology in these societies, with their strong preferences for sons, has made it easy to find out the sex of a child before birth and to abort unwanted daughters.
But why is this bias against girls so pronounced in large parts of South and East Asia when it is not in many other regions of the developing world? What is it about China and these areas of India, with their radically different histories and forms of government, that explains this terrible convergence? And why, even now, don't the women themselves -- more likely than ever before to be literate -- insist on giving birth to their girls?
Economists and demographers are beginning to grapple with these questions and say there are likely to be many complex factors at play. But some think the answer lies in a particular form of patriarchal family, common in most parts of both regions. In such families, the daughter's responsibility to care for her parents largely ends at marriage, while the son's lasts for life. And in India and China, where there is still no universal, government-sponsored social security system, the question of who supports aging parents is very important, these researchers say.
Continue reading the main story''The grown woman can be useful,'' said Monica Das Gupta, a demographer at the World Bank in Washington who has co-written papers on this subject. ''She can work in the fields and be a good mother, but the fact that she's educated and employed doesn't change her value to her parents, who won't benefit from all that.''
Intriguingly, Ms. Das Gupta, who studied family patterns across the developing world, says that in sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America and Southeast Asia, daughters and sons share the job of caring for their aging parents -- and in these regions the sex ratios are normal.
In most parts of both India and China, where more than two billion people live, it is generally a son who carries on the family line, inherits ancestral land, cares for his parents as they age and performs the most important ceremonial roles when they die. In India, the son lights his parents' funeral pyres, helping set their souls at peace. In China, he cares for his parents' spirits in the afterlife so they do not wander for eternity as hungry ghosts.
In contrast, a daughter in either society typically leaves her natal family after marrying to become part of her husband's family, moving in with them and tending to her in-laws. ''There's a traditional expression used in China,'' said Li Shuzhuo, director of the Population Research Center at Xian Jiaotong University in Xian, China. ''Daughters are like water that splashes out of the family and cannot be gotten back after marriage.''
Before ultrasound, girls were sometimes victims of infanticide, but much more commonly they were victims of neglect -- not fed as well as boys or taken to the doctor as quickly. But the advent of sex-selective abortions has added a new and definitive means for acting on a prejudice against girls -- and statistics reflect the results, experts say.
NORMALLY, women around the world give birth to 105 or 106 boys for every 100 girls. But according to China's latest census, there were 117 boys born for every 100 girls in 2000, up from 114 in 1990.
And in India, the early 2001 census data show that in the north and west, which include some of the richest states, the ratio of girls to boys, from birth to age 6, has declined sharply in the same decade. In Punjab the rate has fallen to 793 girls per 1,000 boys from 875; in Rajasthan from 915 to 865; in Gujarat from 928 to 878, and in Maharashtra from 946 TO 917. The overall rate in India fell from 945 to 927.
Discrimination faced by girls both before and after birth has contributed to the fact that 50 million to 80 million more girls and women might have been alive today in India and China, according to demographers and economists, had they received treatment equal to that of boys and men.
Each country has its own policies or customs that may well have intensified the problem. In China, pressure to abort girls has been increased by family planning rules that limit couples to one or two children. In India, the sizable dowries that families pay to get daughters married add to the financial burden of raising girls. But in both societies, Ms. Das Gupta and Professor Li maintain in a paper they co-wrote, the kind of patriarchal family system prevalent in much of India and China is the root of the preference for sons, who are needed to provide security for parents in old age. It is a theory that echoes in the words of ordinary people in Punjab, India's richest agricultural state.
''THE boy is like the lamp of the family, and everybody wants it lit continuously,'' said Jaswinder Kaur, a women's health worker in Daffarpur. ''The woman realizes that her value goes up with the birth of sons and down with daughters.''
India and China both prohibit sex-selective abortions, but the practice is hard to police since the pregnant women and those who perform the abortions have every incentive to keep the secret. But the numbers from the new census have drawn wide attention in India. Some officials are saying the law must be more stringently enforced; women's advocates call for a social movement against customs like dowry.
The high priests of the Sikh religion recently announced that anyone who becomes a ''kudi-maar'' -- daughter-killer -- will be excommunicated. Punjab, which now has the lowest proportion in the nation of young girls to boys, has a large Sikh population.
The experience of South Korea suggests that urbanization, modernization and rising prosperity may help loosen the bonds of traditional family life, said Minja Kim Choe, a demographer at the East-West Center in Honolulu. Figures there, she says, show the ratio there seeming to peak in 1990 at 117 boys per 100 girls and declining to 110 by 1999. While that's still high, it is better, she said. South Korea's economic transformation, she believes, is gradually weakening the patriarchal family system as people become more independent economically and socially from their families.
But China and India are still mainly agrarian societies, and it is likely to be a long time before these lumbering behemoths can hope to see such benefits.

For the individual this may be a marginal issue. For the company, however, it is a matter of life and death. Information technology has proved a corporate killer, destroying old companies, creating new ones and detonating the complacency of once impregnable fortresses such as IBM. And in the wake of IT comes globalisation, the transformation of the world into a single market through the instant availability of information, the philosopher's stone of the new age.
Companies, even small ones, now know they must surf the global technological wave or die. The trouble is, they must do so in ignorance. They know that change is happening, they may know a few general trends, but beyond that there is a predictive vacuum. Into this vacuum have rushed the management theorists - technocratic gurus offering corporate solutions. In Club Class you see ranks of eager managers consuming their books for hints about what to do next, how to get on. From such books and from conferences, big money is to be made and so, unsurprisingly, some of these gurus are plainly frauds. Others deal in the minutiae of management, some with the culture of companies. But the most interesting of them attempt to explain the whole world to the company mind. And of these, the most important is the Tokyo prophet, nuclear engineer turned management consultant Kenichi Ohmae.
Ohmae's importance lies in the fact that he has become much more than a corporate adviser. For most of his career he has been a senior partner of the management consultants McKinsey & Co. But even when he was with McKinsey, he was voted the most influential person in Japan for his impact on public opinion. Now he has left to become a one-man consultancy for governments and companies.
Ohmae's central point is that we are moving into a single, information- driven economy. This subverts all existing frontiers and most contemporary knowledge. The nation state is dissolving, to be replaced by regions of economic interest. Yet most of our economic information about the world still comes from state sources. It is, as a result, largely wrong. "In a borderless economy," he writes, "any statistical regime that takes the nation state as its primary unit of analysis is - and must be - badly out of date."
So, for example, the trade wars between the United States and Japan happen because there is thought to be a huge trade imbalance - Japan in massive surplus, the US in huge deficit. In reality, says Ohmae, there is no such imbalance. If an American silicon chip manufacturer sells chips in Osaka, they may well have been made in Malaysia and will not, therefore, show up in US exports. Once all such "hidden" deals are taken into account, both the surplus and the deficit vanish. The trade wars are being fought over an illusion.
The illusion is created by the antiquated interests of the nation state. The real economic units of the new world order are regions that cut across national borders. So the true interests of the north of Japan may lie, for example, in fishing deals made with eastern Russia rather than in bureaucratic subjugation to Tokyo or Osaka. In the case of the UK, Wales and Scotland may be better off working with New York, Hong Kong or Paris than with London.
This idea has immense political implications. The nation state tends to be driven by highly inefficient political considerations. In Japan, for example, the centrality of rice and its cultivation both to the culture and to the bureaucracy has led to a highly protectionist agricultural regime which results in uneconomic rice paddies persisting close to the centre of Tokyo, the most industrially dynamic region in the post-war world. This level of protectionism means that Japanese consumers, possessed of a home agricultural base, pay more for their food than the Singaporeans, who import everything they eat.
All nation states tend towards protectionism because they wish to preserve their own power. But information technology means that such policies will inevitably be undermined. A customer in Sapporo can order clothes, via credit card, from LL Bean in Maine and they will be delivered by DHL, bypassing local controls. Equally, even Japan's tight banking controls can be subverted and its low interest rates avoided simply by phoning or faxing a 24-hour banking service such as First Direct in Britain. Increasingly, economic transactions will become invisible to government.
Resistance to these developments will simply hold back economic growth. This is not, in Ohmae's terms, a political or philosophical argument, it is an acceptance of reality. His position is that of a hard, deregulating free-marketeer. But he does not present this as a conviction or belief, rather as a clear-eyed perception of the way the world is going.
Culturally, this makes Ohmae something of a hybrid. At one level he can be seen as another propagandist of oriental economic dynamism. In this role he trashes the European Union as a hopeless, bureaucratic attempt to overrule regional economic interests. In contrast, he praises the Asian willingness to live with massive regional variations in economic performance. Some parts of China, for example, are 20 times richer than others and the Chinese accept this as an inevitable result of their rush to join the global economy.
Yet equally he does not necessarily make comfortable reading for the Asians. Indeed, his worldwide prominence is, to a large extent, based on his scathing, fundamental criticisms of Japan. Japan's economic success, he insists, has been dangerously and narrowly based on a few product sectors - most obviously cars and consumer electronics. These have succeeded in spite of, not because of, the activities of Japanese institutions. Government has relentlessly defended its own bureaucratic position and sapped the wealth and energy of Tokyo and Osaka by delivering pork-barrel projects to rural regions which have no need of them.
The hope for the Japanese lies with what he calls the "Nintendo kids" - the new generation that has no intention of bowing to the bureaucratic demands of the old. They know how the information world works and see no reason to honour authority. This, in Japan, is a revolutionary position.
Ohmae stands in opposition to both Francis Fukuyama and Samuel Huntington. He rejects Fukuyama's "end of history" argument because he believes the end of the Cold War resulted in millions of people being freed to enter history with their own economic demands. He rejects Huntington's "clash of civilisations" thesis because conflicts frequently occur within civilisations and because he sees economic regionalism as a far more powerful force than mere cultural difference.
Such arguments are evidence of the intellectual crudity of his position. He completely misses Fukuyama's point: those millions are not, in his terms, entering history, they are acquiescing in the liberal democratic ideal which marks the end of ideological history. And Ohmae's dismissal of Huntington demonstrates a failure of imagination that runs through his work: he refuses to accept the power of culture and identity, probably assuming that even they will be subverted by the flow of information.
But this reflects Ohmae's roots in the culture of management consultancy rather than academia or strategic studies. Companies want strong, simple messages and workable solutions. Sensitive to his market, Ohmae oversimplifies in his enthusiasm to sell the global, electronic future. This, to the reflective mind, may make his ideas questionable and crude, but to the company man it makes them easily digestible. He has become, therefore, a spectacularly effective thinker.
What he says undoubtedly changes the minds of powerful people and, thereby, conditions us all, like it or not, to believe in the incomprehensible cliche that is the Information Age.
5: Kenichi Ohmae
'In a borderless world, traditional national interest - which has become little more than a cloak for subsidy and protection - has no meaningful place'
CAREER: Aged 52, Kenichi Ohmae was a physicist, receiving a PhD in nuclear engineering from Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He joined Hitachi as a senior design engineer on Japan's prototype fast breeder reactor before becoming a management consultant with McKinsey & Co. He now works on his own as a consultant to companies and countries. He has been voted the most influential person in Japan.
WORK: His two most influential books are The Borderless World (1990) and The End of the Nation State: the Rise of Regional Economies (1995). His ideas flow directly from his management consultancy work and are intended, therefore, to offer practical solutions.
LIFE: He lives in Tokyo with his wife, Jeannette, and two sons, who share his spare-time interests in music, sailing, motor cycles and scuba diving. He is chairman of Reform of Heisei, a citizens' political group aimed at reforming Japanese bureaucracy.
CRITICS: Rival consultants accuse him of simply being wrong, notably in his analysis of Japan - both his praise of its long-term thinking and his criticism of its bureaucracy. Academics find his ideas too crude to be useful; he seems to assume that the electronic age will overcome all cultural differences.

Description•5 years ago
In order to support alternate build backends, we can't rely on Makefile.in's because Makefiles may not be generated by alternate build backends. Since the virtualenv today is populated in configure immediately after aclocal-fast creates build/virtualenv/Makefile, we are in a bit of a bind. We need to change how the virtualenv is populated such that it doesn't rely on the mass Makefile generation as it is currently implemented in configure. We could still use a make file if we really wanted to. However, the existing make file logic is dead simple and it could easily be ported to a Python module/script. Having it exist as an importable module would also likely benefit mach. Since mach will run before configure, it needs a way of knowing where all the Python source lives so it can import its own modules. This likely involves some kind of self bootstrapping. It's entirely possible mach will want to create and populate the virtualenv itself, before configure is executed. At the very least, mach will need to adjust sys.path on first run in order to be able to import its own modules. Anyway, the mach work will be in a follow-up bug. Just know that its usage needs to be considered when changing this. Our options depend on what :glandium is doing for refactoring autoconf output file generation. If we lump virtualenv's make file into the always-generated set, we should be cool. That being said, I'm advocating for an importable Python module (which can also be executed as a script from configure) so mach can do magic without having to fork a new process.

I don't really care, honestly. I just wanted to have an easy place for people to rebuild if they wanted to re-populate the virtualenv. It doesn't have to be a Makefile.
