Fixing the prototype

The management of tacit knowledge is something that plagues many organization large and small in the battle for productivity. Synthesis is intrinsically more valuable than process as we can see in the market place with the development of methodologies that are synthesis oriented like Agile… but to balance the proverbial equation the problem with not fixing the prototype is that the fidelity of historical context is diminished greatly.

For your consideration.

Python 3 and greater

I'm listening to a Python CBT and it appears that Python 2.x is going to be around for a long time. But with 3.x which is already out the Python team will be making some intrinsic changes to how the compiler handles certain things and they will be have only one type of int, they will have true division as opposed to integer division (i.e. 1/2 == 0.5) instead of 0. Integer division will still be available via //. print was a statement or could be used in it's declarative form but not anymore, it's a function print ("param") . Strings are unicode, honestly that's great because, if you are writing an app that has to process content that is aggregating strings from all over the world, Korean, Japanese and Chineses are a must. They are adding iterables, basically data structure that are intrinsically iterable which is very Ruby-ish I must say.

So if you are starting out with a new app that is not dependent on a Python 2.x framework then 3.x is the way to go.

A thought on cognitive simulacra

A thought to consider as thought for the day regarding cognitive simulacra:

Certain ways of processing information are more adaptive than other are, and all our ancestors survived long enough and did the right thing to have and raise children.

Our abilities to communicate with metaphors to ascribe meaning, and to discern pattern in noise are beyond the reach of any computer yet programmed.

netstat -a -b

I piped it to a file so that I can then do a search.

netstat -a -b>ports.txt
