[TS]
00:02:08
◼
►
of the episodes was gonna be a Q&A
[TS]
00:02:09
◼
►
episode but it wouldn't tell you which
[TS]
00:02:11
◼
►
one it would be mostly because I didn't

◼
►
you you know things you will you'll have
[TS]
00:02:39
◼
►
to be put on the spot to answer from
[TS]
00:02:41
◼
►
like a technological knowledge base
[TS]
00:02:44
◼
►
standpoint they're there questions about
[TS]
00:02:46
◼
►
you the man the man there whatever
[TS]
00:02:49
◼
►
anyone wants to ask but if I don't know

00:02:50
◼
►
I'm just gonna say i don't know and
[TS]
00:02:51
◼
►
that'll be boring questionable just you

00:02:53
◼

00:02:54
◼

[TS]
00:02:56
◼
►

◼
►
of the year and I'm by the way feel it

◼
►
questions so I said there also might be

00:03:43
◼
►
a show where I say all right Dan now
[TS]
00:03:45
◼
►
it's time for you to ask me stuff and
[TS]
00:03:46
◼
►
yes this this is not that show so don't
[TS]
00:03:48
◼
►
think you're getting just because you're
[TS]
00:03:49
◼
►
like sneaking in a few of your own
[TS]
00:03:50
◼
►
questions it doesn't mean you get it
[TS]
00:03:51
◼
►
well how about this i will remove my own
[TS]
00:03:53
◼
►
questions these will be one hundred
[TS]
00:03:54
◼
►
percent crowdsource questions done but
[TS]
00:03:56
◼
►
yeah it's a that's up to you if you want
[TS]
00:03:58
◼
►
to reserve them for if if you you may be
[TS]
00:04:01
◼
►
called upon to do this you may not be
[TS]
00:04:03
◼
►
maybe we will never have that show we
[TS]
00:04:04
◼
►
don't know huh so use your own judgment
[TS]
00:04:06
◼
►
alright but first we have to do
[TS]
00:04:09
◼
►
follow-up of course ah and we do have a
[TS]
00:04:12
◼
►
reasonable sized chunk of bat from last
[TS]
00:04:15
◼
►
week i guess we'll start with some more
[TS]
00:04:19
◼
►
about chip stuff and intel and AMD and
[TS]
00:04:22
◼
►
arm and all that that has been going on
[TS]
00:04:24
◼
►
for the past few shows this for
[TS]
00:04:27
◼
►
bit is an anonymous bit of feedback from
[TS]
00:04:31
◼
►
someone who calls himself Scott
[TS]
00:04:32
◼
►
anonymous Scott if you want to be
[TS]
00:04:34
◼
►
anonymous you shouldn't you shouldn't
[TS]
00:04:35
◼
►
put your name Scott there if that is
[TS]
00:04:37
◼
►
your moment not full and an image he
[TS]
00:04:39
◼
►
write half he says that he works at
[TS]
00:04:42
◼
►
Intel and that they call it taping out
[TS]
00:04:44
◼
►
not taping it so now we have a battle of
[TS]
00:04:47
◼
►
the anonymous sources one says he works
[TS]
00:04:50
◼
►
at Intel and they call taping out and
[TS]
00:04:51
◼
►
the other one is just merely anonymous
[TS]
00:04:53
◼
►
and says they call it taping in so i
[TS]
00:04:54
◼
►
don't know maybe you anonymous people
[TS]
00:04:56
◼
►
should find each other in the intel
[TS]
00:04:59
◼
►
lunch room or wherever you might want to
[TS]
00:05:00
◼
►
meet and hash it out cuz i don't know
[TS]
00:05:02
◼
►
what to think i'm just going by it based
[TS]
00:05:03
◼
►
on your feedback so so there you have it
[TS]
00:05:05
◼
►
he says they called taping out Peter
[TS]
00:05:08
◼
►
Evans wrote in about the term taping out
[TS]
00:05:10
◼
►
which I'll a show i said i'm not sure
[TS]
00:05:13
◼
►
what the origin of that term is but i
[TS]
00:05:15
◼
►
imagine had something to do with real
[TS]
00:05:16
◼
►
physical tape my guess was that it had
[TS]
00:05:18
◼
►
to do with like laying down pieces of
[TS]
00:05:21
◼
►
tape to lay out where like the traces
[TS]
00:05:23
◼
►
might go in the ancient myths of time
[TS]
00:05:25
◼
►
but that's apparently wrong so Peter
[TS]
00:05:27
◼
►
Evans up gave me some history here he
[TS]
00:05:29
◼
►
says historically this referred to
[TS]
00:05:31
◼
►
actually shipping a magnetic tape
[TS]
00:05:33
◼
►
containing the files on it for making
[TS]
00:05:35
◼
►
the bullet with a photolithography
[TS]
00:05:37
◼
►
graphs no photo lithography masks mmm to
[TS]
00:05:41
◼
►
the family so like a magnetic tape like
[TS]
00:05:43
◼
►
you know as a storage medium for digital
[TS]
00:05:45
◼
►
data and that's what tapping out means
[TS]
00:05:49
◼
►
and he says that the file format for
[TS]
00:05:51
◼
►
this tape was something called GDS which
[TS]
00:05:54
◼
►
is an unbelievably arcane relic of 1970s
[TS]
00:05:56
◼
►
and is gradually being replaced
[TS]
00:05:58
◼
►
throughout the industry that was taking
[TS]
00:05:59
◼
►
far too long soon as nowadays they
[TS]
00:06:01
◼
►
usually securely email or ftp the files
[TS]
00:06:04
◼
►
and that's the modern version email or
[TS]
00:06:06
◼
►
ftp those are the two modern choices
[TS]
00:06:08
◼
►
instead of sending a tape over i would
[TS]
00:06:10
◼
►
say that both email FTP are also ancient
[TS]
00:06:13
◼
►
things that should be you know relegated
[TS]
00:06:15
◼
►
to the dustbin a digital history
[TS]
00:06:16
◼
►
particularly ftp but really like if your
[TS]
00:06:18
◼
►
Intel and you have like the next design
[TS]
00:06:20
◼
►
for your you know next super duper
[TS]
00:06:23
◼
►
processor do you want to email it like
[TS]
00:06:26
◼
►
all it's a secure email we put it in a
[TS]
00:06:27
◼
►
password-protected zip file and we send
[TS]
00:06:29
◼
►
it through gmail i will use ftp with a
[TS]
00:06:31
◼
►
with clear text passwords i'm sure
[TS]
00:06:33
◼
►
that's great anyway so there you have it
[TS]
00:06:35
◼
►
taping out even though they may or may
[TS]
00:06:38
◼
►
not actually use
[TS]
00:06:39
◼
►
tapes these days that's what it refers
[TS]
00:06:41
◼
►
to taking putting your data onto tape
[TS]
00:06:42
◼
►
and sending it out to the fat on the
[TS]
00:06:47
◼
►
glass show talking about the possibility
[TS]
00:06:50
◼
►
of i think it was Apple contracting out
[TS]
00:06:52
◼
►
TSMC to do their fabbing and how there
[TS]
00:06:56
◼
►
was rumors about that and how part of
[TS]
00:06:58
◼
►
one of the stories that was reading
[TS]
00:06:59
◼
►
about that deal said that TSMC would
[TS]
00:07:02
◼
►
have to get used to the way Apple likes
[TS]
00:07:04
◼
►
to fund how does financially structure
[TS]
00:07:07
◼
►
these type of deals where they do the
[TS]
00:07:09
◼
►
more like apple buys the equipment up
[TS]
00:07:13
◼
►
front for the people and then they get
[TS]
00:07:14
◼
►
paid back in the chips that they
[TS]
00:07:15
◼
►
manufacture and the reason most of the
[TS]
00:07:17
◼
►
reason I was confused by this is because
[TS]
00:07:19
◼
►
why I don't know what what the financial
[TS]
00:07:21
◼
►
reason is behind this arrangement but be
[TS]
00:07:23
◼
►
the article phrased it as TSMC would
[TS]
00:07:26
◼
►
have to get used to this like oh
[TS]
00:07:27
◼
►
normally we wouldn't do stuff like this
[TS]
00:07:29
◼
►
but Apple wants this strange sort of
[TS]
00:07:30
◼
►
deal and it seems like why would why
[TS]
00:07:32
◼
►
would TSMC object to someone structuring
[TS]
00:07:34
◼
►
the dealer's ways it works for them so
[TS]
00:07:37
◼
►
I'm still not entirely sure on a bed
[TS]
00:07:39
◼
►
Trevor hardi verdun to explain why deals
[TS]
00:07:43
◼
►
might be structured this way it makes
[TS]
00:07:44
◼
►
perfect sense in terms of the the
[TS]
00:07:48
◼
►
financials doesn't make sense to me in
[TS]
00:07:50
◼
►
terms of that article saying why someone
[TS]
00:07:53
◼
►
might object to this but the gist of it
[TS]
00:07:56
◼
►
is that doing semiconductor
[TS]
00:07:58
◼
►
manufacturing has very very large
[TS]
00:08:00
◼
►
upfront purchase costs like to build a
[TS]
00:08:02
◼
►
fab at any particular feature size cost
[TS]
00:08:05
◼
►
literally billions of dollars just you
[TS]
00:08:07
◼
►
know you have to just put that money out
[TS]
00:08:09
◼
►
front before you get the first chip off
[TS]
00:08:10
◼
►
the thing so you just need a huge amount
[TS]
00:08:12
◼
►
of capital its liquid that you can put
[TS]
00:08:14
◼
►
down or you know get a loan or whatever
[TS]
00:08:16
◼
►
and you need to build the thing and then
[TS]
00:08:18
◼
►
finally when the thing is built
[TS]
00:08:19
◼
►
presuming you built the right thing at
[TS]
00:08:21
◼
►
the right time and the right place can
[TS]
00:08:22
◼
►
get customers then finally you can start
[TS]
00:08:24
◼
►
making money off of it so if you are say
[TS]
00:08:26
◼
►
a low-margin semiconductor manufacturing
[TS]
00:08:28
◼
►
business you might not have multiple
[TS]
00:08:30
◼
►
billions of dollars hanging around or
[TS]
00:08:32
◼
►
you might not want to take out the kind
[TS]
00:08:33
◼
►
of big alone whereas Apple comes in with
[TS]
00:08:35
◼
►
its you know forty percent profit
[TS]
00:08:36
◼
►
margins and multiple billions of dollars
[TS]
00:08:39
◼
►
in the bank make us a look I know you
[TS]
00:08:41
◼
►
don't want to take the financial risk to
[TS]
00:08:42
◼
►
build this fab or whatever will put the
[TS]
00:08:44
◼
►
money up front will give you this money
[TS]
00:08:46
◼
►
you build the fab and then you'll pay it
[TS]
00:08:48
◼
►
back to us by you know making a you know
[TS]
00:08:50
◼
►
chips or whatever your financial region
[TS]
00:08:52
◼
►
is so like they'll front them
[TS]
00:08:53
◼
►
for you and I'm sure apple extracts you
[TS]
00:08:56
◼
►
know lower profit margins for this let

me conduct your manufacturer based on
[TS]
00:09:00
◼
►
that or whatever so maybe that's why
[TS]
00:09:01
◼
►
they don't like the deal but anyway
[TS]
00:09:04
◼
►
that's that and I'll does that with lots
[TS]
00:09:06
◼
►
of other manufactures not just
[TS]
00:09:07
◼
►
semiconductors like they do the thing
[TS]
00:09:08
◼
►
you know we'll buy them we'll put the
[TS]
00:09:09
◼
►
expenditures upfront to buy these metal
[TS]
00:09:11
◼
►
machining tools or whatever to do these
[TS]
00:09:13
◼
►
precise machining of aluminum and stuff
[TS]
00:09:15
◼
►
and then we'll buy you the tools you put
[TS]
00:09:17
◼
►
them in your factory and you turn them
[TS]
00:09:19
◼

out so anybody this is all speculative
[TS]
00:09:23
◼

biggest no such deal has yet taken place
[TS]
00:09:25
◼
►
but this is trevor Hardy's explanation
[TS]
00:09:27
◼
►
of why the deal might be arranged this
[TS]
00:09:31
◼
►
way and of course you know why diff
[TS]
00:09:33
◼
►
Apple has money why don't they just do
[TS]
00:09:34
◼
►
with themselves fault presumably the fab
[TS]
00:09:36
◼
►
the people who run the fab have
[TS]
00:09:39
◼
►
expertise in manufacturing you know
[TS]
00:09:40
◼
►
Apple just has the money and they'll
[TS]
00:09:42
◼
►
give it to those guys and say all they
[TS]
00:09:43
◼
►
know you know how to build their fabs
[TS]
00:09:45
◼

and how to run them and stuff like that

emoto's front the money from Jarrod

Williams wrote in to talk about AMD and
[TS]
00:09:53
◼
►
how we talk about you know what if apple
[TS]
00:09:57
◼
►
bought AMD what were they get out of it
[TS]
00:09:59
◼
►
would be good idea or bad idea said if
[TS]
00:10:02
◼
►
anyone buys AMD AMD has to renegotiate
[TS]
00:10:05
◼
►
its cross license agreement with Intel
[TS]
00:10:07
◼
►
and this is I'm assuming Jared learned
[TS]
00:10:10
◼
►
this from the exact same place that I
[TS]
00:10:11
◼
►
learned it which is the anandtech
[TS]
00:10:14
◼
►
podcast I put a link to it in the show
[TS]
00:10:15
◼
►
it's because it's a good one to listen
[TS]
00:10:16
◼
►
to lots of great technical info I mean
[TS]
00:10:19
◼
►
if you don't like hearing about if you
[TS]
00:10:21
◼
►
think I when it's zoom in detail the
[TS]
00:10:22
◼
►
chip stuff you probably won't like this
[TS]
00:10:23
◼
►
podcast but even getting go into enough
[TS]
00:10:25
◼
►
detail you were like this point right
[TS]
00:10:27
◼
►
and so I listened to one of the recent
[TS]
00:10:29
◼
►
episodes will they talked about AMD and
[TS]
00:10:32
◼
►
so I am being then to have a cross
[TS]
00:10:35
◼
►
license agreement you know lots of
[TS]
00:10:36
◼
►
companies have these where they get in
[TS]
00:10:37
◼
►
some code of patent dispute or
[TS]
00:10:39
◼
►
intellectual property dispute and they
[TS]
00:10:40
◼
►
come to an agreement they say okay you
[TS]
00:10:41
◼
►
can use our intellectual property and we
[TS]
00:10:43
◼
►
can use yours some limited subsets or
[TS]
00:10:46
◼
►
whatever and we won't see each other
[TS]
00:10:47
◼
►
whatever will go forward but part of the
[TS]
00:10:49
◼
►
deal is apparently if either company
[TS]
00:10:51
◼
►
gets bought by anybody if Intel changes
[TS]
00:10:53
◼
►
ownership or if AMD changes ownership
[TS]
00:10:55
◼
►
that deal is off and has to be
[TS]
00:10:57
◼
►
renegotiated or not or whatever you know
[TS]
00:10:58
◼
►
but that deal is null and void and you
[TS]
00:11:01
◼
►
know so if anyone buys AMD you know
[TS]
00:11:04
◼
►
you're not automatically getting for
[TS]
00:11:06
◼
►
example the ability
[TS]
00:11:07
◼
►
make x86 processors because your
[TS]
00:11:09
◼
►
agreement with Intel let you do that is
[TS]
00:11:11
◼
►
gone and now you have to renegotiate it
[TS]
00:11:12
◼
►
and similarly if AMD or intel gets
[TS]
00:11:16
◼
►
bought Intel's ability I'm assuming and
[TS]
00:11:19
◼
►
the antec pod tech podcast assume as
[TS]
00:11:21
◼
►
well that Intel's ability to use x86 64
[TS]
00:11:25
◼
►
the 64-bit instruction set extension
[TS]
00:11:28
◼
►
invented by AMD and used in all of
[TS]
00:11:30
◼
►
Intel's modern desktop processors and
[TS]
00:11:32
◼
►
laptop processors uh until needs that to
[TS]
00:11:36
◼
►
be part of its business so it's not like
[TS]
00:11:38
◼
►
if someone buys it all bets are off and
[TS]
00:11:40
◼
►
then you know tough luck if someone buys
[TS]
00:11:42
◼
►
you the company those the two parties
[TS]
00:11:45
◼
►
are going to renegotiate because they
[TS]
00:11:46
◼
►
need each other like they each have
[TS]
00:11:48
◼
►
something of the person wants the Intel
[TS]
00:11:49
◼
►
is no good without the ability to make
[TS]
00:11:51
◼
►
x86 64 and AMD is probably no good
[TS]
00:11:53
◼
►
without the ability to make x86 chips so
[TS]
00:11:55
◼
►
they both have all sorts of super done
[TS]
00:11:58
◼
►
patents I'm sure and plus other
[TS]
00:11:59
◼
►
intellectual property based on the stuff
[TS]
00:12:01
◼
►
they've invented but that's one more
[TS]
00:12:03
◼
►
monkey wrench in the possible theories
[TS]
00:12:05
◼
►
about someone buying AMD and by the way
[TS]
00:12:08
◼
►
who listen to that antec podcast about
[TS]
00:12:10
◼
►
AMD they paint a pretty dire picture of
[TS]
00:12:13
◼
►
where AMD is like they've already sold
[TS]
00:12:16
◼
►
off all the things they can sell off to
[TS]
00:12:17
◼
►
to make quick to make a quick buck
[TS]
00:12:19
◼
►
they're not well positioned in the
[TS]
00:12:21
◼
►
market and they're running out of money
[TS]
00:12:22
◼
►
fast and it doesn't look like their
[TS]
00:12:23
◼
►
pipeline has any blockbuster products
[TS]
00:12:25
◼
►
they're going to pull them up out of it
[TS]
00:12:26
◼
►
so it was a pretty depressing podcast if
[TS]
00:12:28
◼
►
you're hopeful for the future of AMD and
[TS]
00:12:33
◼
►
last week talked about Intel's
[TS]
00:12:35
◼
►
transactional memory features that
[TS]
00:12:38
◼
►
they've put in as well and presumably
[TS]
00:12:40
◼
►
all future chips but we'll say and
[TS]
00:12:42
◼
►
someone with the funny name ghee in
[TS]
00:12:45
◼
►
glaze a right sent to tell me that
[TS]
00:12:48
◼
►
transactional memory is probably more
[TS]
00:12:50
◼
►
useful in the kernel than in user space
[TS]
00:12:51
◼
►
code so like the kernel maintains lots
[TS]
00:12:54
◼
►
of shared resources like the unified
[TS]
00:12:55
◼
►
buffer cache where it you know caches
[TS]
00:12:58
◼
►
access to files and other things like
[TS]
00:13:00
◼
►
that in memory and lots of other
[TS]
00:13:03
◼
►
processes need to manipulate that that
[TS]
00:13:06
◼
►
cash because they all go into kernel
[TS]
00:13:07
◼
►
space and do that and years ago as he
[TS]
00:13:11
◼
►
points out Mac os10 used to have just
[TS]
00:13:14
◼
►
one big giant lock around anything if
[TS]
00:13:16
◼
►
you go and do anything with like the the
[TS]
00:13:18
◼
►
buffer cache you go in there you grab
[TS]
00:13:20
◼
►
locking everyone else has blocked out
[TS]
00:13:22
◼
►
even if they weren't even gonna touch
[TS]
00:13:23
◼
►
anywhere near where you're going to
[TS]
00:13:24
◼
►
touch and that's sort of you know
[TS]
00:13:25
◼
►
coarse-grained locking it's not
[TS]
00:13:27
◼
►
particularly good for concurrency
[TS]
00:13:29
◼
►
because say all you know there's five
[TS]
00:13:31
◼
►
processes that want to screw with this
[TS]
00:13:32
◼
►
thing and they're really not going to
[TS]
00:13:34
◼
►
overlap at all but if we have as coarse
[TS]
00:13:36
◼
►
grain locking only one of them can do at
[TS]
00:13:38
◼
►
a time so Mac os10 has been making finer
[TS]
00:13:41
◼
►
grain locking over time to sit okay well
[TS]
00:13:43
◼
►
these guys really aren't going to
[TS]
00:13:44
◼
►
conflict with each other we can have
[TS]
00:13:45
◼
►
these smaller locks onto these smaller
[TS]
00:13:47
◼
►
areas and then they can both go at the
[TS]
00:13:48
◼
►
same time and that's great especially
[TS]
00:13:49
◼
►
multi-core CPUs but with transactional
[TS]
00:13:52
◼
►
memory in theory you could rewrite this
[TS]
00:13:55
◼
►
parts of the kernel to use the hardware
[TS]
00:13:57
◼
►
transactional memory features and say
[TS]
00:13:59
◼
►
okay everyone just go at once and if any
[TS]
00:14:01
◼
►
of you actually have a collision then
[TS]
00:14:02
◼
►
yeah you'll get rolled back and have to
[TS]
00:14:04
◼
►
do locking stuff or whatever but inmate
[TS]
00:14:06
◼
►
and need hopefully more common case
[TS]
00:14:08
◼
►
where there are no collisions no one has
[TS]
00:14:10
◼
►
to grab any locks at all like you know
[TS]
00:14:11
◼
►
sixteen virtual cores can be having
[TS]
00:14:13
◼
►
processes running that are messing with
[TS]
00:14:15
◼
►
this part of the colonel so so we'll see
[TS]
00:14:19
◼
►
I mean like lots of speculative hardware
[TS]
00:14:21
◼
►
features they think will be good for
[TS]
00:14:22
◼
►
some theoretical kinds of workloads you
[TS]
00:14:26
◼
►
have to this two things one you have to
[TS]
00:14:27
◼
►
see how many real-world workloads
[TS]
00:14:29
◼
►
actually conform to this theoretical
[TS]
00:14:32
◼
►
thing they'll be better and to you have
[TS]
00:14:33
◼
►
to get people to actually rewrite their
[TS]
00:14:34
◼
►
software to take advantage of your cool
[TS]
00:14:36
◼
►
new features or tweak your software do
[TS]
00:14:39
◼
►
something or at least recompile it you
[TS]
00:14:40
◼
►
know depending on how I the bar so we'll
[TS]
00:14:42
◼
►
see how where that goes oh and he also
[TS]
00:14:45
◼
►
says that he grew up on blue peter in
[TS]
00:14:47
◼
►
England and he loved that show mm-hmm
[TS]
00:14:49
◼
►
many Blue Peter fans writing and in fact
[TS]
00:14:51
◼
►
this next bit of follow-up from David
[TS]
00:14:53
◼
►
Meyers is about Blue Peter beginning
[TS]
00:14:54
◼
►
beginning the Blue Peter section of the
[TS]
00:14:56
◼
►
faulkner try to turn this down ah so he
[TS]
00:15:00
◼
►
says that despite all our laughing he
[TS]
00:15:03
◼
►
says sniggering about the name Blue
[TS]
00:15:05
◼
►
Peter it's actually named after the
[TS]
00:15:07
◼
►
maritime signaling flag representing the
[TS]
00:15:09

maritime signal flags he says when flown

about to proceed to see which is the

show creators way of saying program is

new things so it's like everybody aboard

the board and by the way David Myers and
[TS]
00:15:32
◼
►
that paragraph spelled Harbor with an O
[TS]
00:15:33
◼
►
you are in the end and program with an e

00:15:35
◼

at the end proving that he is a bona
[TS]
00:15:38
◼

fide person from across the pond right
[TS]
00:15:42
◼

that's all you need to do to prove that
[TS]
00:15:44
◼
►
to us yes there's open oh you are I
[TS]
00:15:47
◼
►
guess who else would do that no one yeah
[TS]
00:15:49
◼
►
and I he also provided a link to the
[TS]
00:15:53
◼

Blue Peter FAQ for people who want to
[TS]
00:15:55
◼

know more about Blue Peter he says
[TS]
00:15:57
◼

having grown up in the 60s in the UK
[TS]
00:15:58
◼
►
with only a couple of channels on TV and
[TS]
00:16:00
◼
►
only one hour per day of children's
[TS]
00:16:01
◼

television Blue Peter was a major
[TS]
00:16:03
◼
►
influence on the formative years of many
[TS]
00:16:06
◼
►
of my generation and I can attest from
[TS]
00:16:08
◼
►
the feedback of that is true many people
[TS]
00:16:09
◼
►
wrote in simply to say that they watch
[TS]
00:16:11
◼
►
blue peter and they loved it as a kid so
[TS]
00:16:13
◼
►
there you go it's like the British
[TS]
00:16:15
◼
►
Sesame Street I still didn't actually go
[TS]
00:16:19
◼
►
to youtube and like trying to look up an
[TS]
00:16:21
◼
►
episode to see what it was like so I
[TS]
00:16:22
◼
►
just like imagining what it's like in my
[TS]
00:16:24
◼
►
head and not actually knowing uh okay
[TS]
00:16:28
◼
►
actually that was the end of the Blue
[TS]
00:16:29
◼
►
Peter section a little bit about the wii
[TS]
00:16:31
◼
►
u from someone named Christopher whose
[TS]
00:16:34
◼

last name I could not find he provided a

link to a YouTube show channel thing
[TS]
00:16:39
◼
►
whatever called the way games work I
[TS]
00:16:41
◼

watched a little bit of it and I look
[TS]
00:16:43
◼
►
like it was pretty good this is about
[TS]
00:16:44
◼
►
how the Wii U gamepad works talks about
[TS]
00:16:47
◼
►
capacitive touchscreens and gyroscopes
[TS]
00:16:49
◼
►
and it's not particularly techie but
[TS]
00:16:50
◼
►
it's you know if you want sort of a fun
[TS]
00:16:53
◼
►
high level overview of how the stuff
[TS]
00:16:54
◼

inside the gamepad works you should
[TS]
00:16:56
◼

check it out it's in the show notes to
[TS]
00:17:01
◼
►
software update things one new one old
[TS]
00:17:04
◼
►
the first one is I wanted to mention
[TS]
00:17:07
◼
►
that the new version of BB edit is out
[TS]
00:17:10
◼
►
even though they're not sponsoring this
[TS]
00:17:11
◼
►
episode yes they well they have they
[TS]
00:17:13
◼
►
have in the past so it you know even
[TS]
00:17:15
◼
►
even if they hadn't we're not going to
[TS]
00:17:16
◼
►
not talk about it that's right and this
[TS]
00:17:19
◼
►
is noteworthy because this is a version
[TS]
00:17:22
◼
►
B be at a 10.5 it's a free update for
[TS]
00:17:24
◼
►
people who own baby out of 10 i believe
[TS]
00:17:25
◼
►
and it includes retina support which
[TS]
00:17:28
◼
►
means that if you have a mac with a
[TS]
00:17:29
◼
►
retina screen everything is rendered at
[TS]
00:17:32
◼
►
the higher resolution and that doesn't
[TS]
00:17:34
◼
►
sound like such a big deal like so what
[TS]
00:17:36
◼
►
lots of apps are updated for retina
[TS]
00:17:37

support it's kind of a big deal because
[TS]
00:17:39
◼
►
bbedit depending on your definition of
[TS]
00:17:42
◼
►
the term is pretty much a carbon
[TS]
00:17:45
◼
►
application carbon
[TS]
00:17:47
◼
►
is the legacy Mac API that was created
[TS]
00:17:51
◼
►
to allow people who had classic mac OS
[TS]
00:17:53
◼
►
applications to more easily port them to
[TS]
00:17:55
◼
►
Mac OS 10 and it became legacy when
[TS]
00:17:57
◼
►
Apple decided that they're not going to
[TS]
00:18:00
◼
►
provide a 64-bit version of carbon so
[TS]
00:18:03
◼
►
they would continue to support
[TS]
00:18:04
◼
►
carbon-carbon appt cebu continue to run
[TS]
00:18:05
◼
►
but if you wanted your app to be 64 bit
[TS]
00:18:07
◼
►
it couldn't be carbon this is despite
[TS]
00:18:10
◼
►
the fact that it are you Donna stantial
[TS]
00:18:11
◼
►
portion of the work to get 64-bit carbon
[TS]
00:18:13
◼
►
working so it wasn't a technical problem
[TS]
00:18:14
◼
►
was more of a political one it said look
[TS]
00:18:16
◼
►
Coco is the future all your apps should
[TS]
00:18:18
◼
►
be written in Cocoa going forward uh
[TS]
00:18:20
◼
►
where you know we're cutting off carbon
[TS]
00:18:24
◼
►
and that happened many years ago things
[TS]
00:18:25
◼
►
like Photoshop had since ported
[TS]
00:18:28
◼
►
themselves to Coco the real difficulty
[TS]
00:18:31
◼
►
is figure out what do you mean but
[TS]
00:18:32
◼
►
what's a cocoa app and what's a carbon
[TS]
00:18:33
◼
►
app like if you look at almost any
[TS]
00:18:34
◼
►
modern application you'll see that they
[TS]
00:18:38
◼
►
link to the carbon framework and the
[TS]
00:18:40
◼
►
cocoa frameworks because even cocoa
[TS]
00:18:41
◼
►
applications need to call into things
[TS]
00:18:43
◼
►
that you know could arguably be defined
[TS]
00:18:45
◼
►
as carbon api's and most modern carbon
[TS]
00:18:48
◼
►
apps also linked to the cocoa frameworks
[TS]
00:18:50
◼
►
and so like you know is it is it a cocoa
[TS]
00:18:52
◼
►
app yeah you know if it you know is an
[TS]
00:18:55
◼
►
MS application and runs through that
[TS]
00:18:58
◼
►
type of loop is it a carbon out because
[TS]
00:18:59
◼
►
it uses carbon events so you know
[TS]
00:19:00
◼
►
there's lots of different ways you can
[TS]
00:19:02
◼
►
define it but the bottom line is it
[TS]
00:19:03
◼
►
bbedit as an application that's been
[TS]
00:19:04
◼
►
around for ages for what 30 years 20
[TS]
00:19:06
◼
►
years I forget they had a recent
[TS]
00:19:08
◼
►
anniversary and I forget how many years
[TS]
00:19:10
◼
►
it is but this application was a rat was
[TS]
00:19:13
◼
►
originally distributed on floppy disk to
[TS]
00:19:14
◼
►
let you know how old it is well and so
[TS]
00:19:16
◼
►
it's been continuously developed for all
[TS]
00:19:18
◼
►
those years uh and so obviously you know
[TS]
00:19:21
◼
►
you can't really say well why do you
[TS]
00:19:23
◼
►
guys have a carbon code base was you
[TS]
00:19:25
◼
►
know the app was shipped in like
[TS]
00:19:26
◼
►
nineteen ninety-two like there was no
[TS]
00:19:28
◼
►
nothing back then there was a different
[TS]
00:19:31
◼
►
world and so this is still the same
[TS]
00:19:32
◼
►
application more or less continuously
[TS]
00:19:34
◼
►
developed and they managed to find a way
[TS]
00:19:36
◼
►
somehow through black magic to make
[TS]
00:19:38
◼
►
their application support retina
[TS]
00:19:42
◼
►
displays does that mean they converted
[TS]
00:19:43
◼
►
the application to cocoa does that mean
[TS]
00:19:45
◼
►
they found a way to draw on retina
[TS]
00:19:47
◼
►
displays with carbon I don't know the
[TS]
00:19:48
◼
►
technical details someday if you have
[TS]
00:19:50
◼
►
rich seagull on one of your interior
[TS]
00:19:52
◼
►
shows you can ask him yeah I'm
[TS]
00:19:53
◼
►
definitely an ask him about people who
[TS]
00:19:54
◼
►
asked me about that I directed them to
[TS]
00:19:56
◼
►
rich he can reveal his secrets or not
[TS]
00:19:59
◼
►
but the point is it's real it's shipping
[TS]
00:20:01
◼
►
it's even in the mac app store I believe
[TS]
00:20:03
◼
►
the old version certainly we're on
[TS]
00:20:06
◼
►
assume this won't be as well I don't
[TS]
00:20:08
◼
►
even have a Retina screen I'm a BB at a
[TS]
00:20:10
◼
►
beta tester so I've been running it for
[TS]
00:20:11
◼
►
a while but it's not like the only
[TS]
00:20:14
◼
►
feature baby at 10.5 is retina support
[TS]
00:20:16
◼
►
it also has a tremendous amount of new
[TS]
00:20:18
◼
►
features as all new versions of baby I
[TS]
00:20:20
◼
►
to do I put a link into the typically
[TS]
00:20:22
◼
►
copious bare-bones release notes does
[TS]
00:20:25
◼
►
the name of the company it's not saying
[TS]
00:20:26
◼
►
that three thought release notes or bare
[TS]
00:20:28
◼
►
bones in fact quite the opposite so if
[TS]
00:20:30
◼
►
you want to see all the new features
[TS]
00:20:32
◼
►
that are in there even if you don't have
[TS]
00:20:33
◼
►
a Retina screen check it out I guess
[TS]
00:20:36
◼
►
that it's free update for anyone who has
[TS]
00:20:38
◼
►
the most recent major version of VPN it
[TS]
00:20:39
◼
►
finally on software notes this is a
[TS]
00:20:43
◼
►
question this is kind of like getting
[TS]
00:20:45
◼
►
into the QA show a little early but not
[TS]
00:20:46
◼
►
really from Don liebes or Don lives from
[TS]
00:20:49
◼
►
a long time ago he said that uh many
[TS]
00:20:52
◼
►
episodes ago I talked about quicken and
[TS]
00:20:55
◼
►
my inability to run it I think it was
[TS]
00:20:58
◼
►
like an ability to run on lion or maybe
[TS]
00:21:00
◼
►
was the ability to run the mountain lion
[TS]
00:21:01
◼
►
or something like that everyone quick
[TS]
00:21:03
◼
►
and wouldn't run on modern max maybe
[TS]
00:21:04
◼
►
because they didn't have an x86 port and
[TS]
00:21:06
◼
►
line dropped the oh yeah Rosetta yes
[TS]
00:21:08
◼
►
there was that weird in-between time
[TS]
00:21:10
◼
►
yeah and I said like okay well you know
[TS]
00:21:13
◼
►
I could run it in you know virtual
[TS]
00:21:16
◼
►
machine running snow leopard or
[TS]
00:21:18
◼
►
something or I could keep a machine and
[TS]
00:21:21
◼
►
not upgraded to lion and run it there
[TS]
00:21:22
◼
►
and you know or I could you know look
[TS]
00:21:25
◼
►
for other things people like oh well you
[TS]
00:21:26
◼
►
know if you're looking for other or
[TS]
00:21:27
◼
►
software applications here's a buzzer
[TS]
00:21:29
◼
►
suggestions and if you pick one tell us
[TS]
00:21:31
◼
►
what you picked on the air so Donna's
[TS]
00:21:32
◼
►
asking whatever happened with that what
[TS]
00:21:34
◼
►
did you do did you change to use a
[TS]
00:21:36
◼
►
different application and you stop using
[TS]
00:21:38
◼
►
quick and whatever i'm not sure if I
[TS]
00:21:40
◼
►
mentioned this on past shows but its
[TS]
00:21:41
◼
►
figures worth following up on now before
[TS]
00:21:43
◼
►
the show ends what I ended up doing was
[TS]
00:21:45
◼
►
apparently waiting long enough and then
[TS]
00:21:48
◼
►
into it came out of her with a version
[TS]
00:21:50
◼
►
of quicken for the mac that ran on lion
[TS]
00:21:52
◼
►
and i just bought that it was like a $13
[TS]
00:21:55
◼
►
upgrade or whatever was so i did not get
[TS]
00:21:58
◼
►
off a quick and i'm still using quicken
[TS]
00:21:59
◼
►
its quicken for mac 2007 which tells you
[TS]
00:22:02
◼
►
the vintage this program but it does run
[TS]
00:22:03
◼
►
on modern max at least around online I
[TS]
00:22:06
◼
►
it still runs a mountain lion like I
[TS]
00:22:07
◼
►
launched it the other day in mountain
[TS]
00:22:08
◼
►
lion maybe there's some features don't
[TS]
00:22:10
◼
►
work in mountain lion or some features
[TS]
00:22:11
◼
►
are buggy I don't know we I'm very
[TS]
00:22:13
◼
►
limited user of Quicken we just
[TS]
00:22:14
◼
►
basically use it to track a bunch of
[TS]
00:22:17
◼
►
numbers not using any of the fancy
[TS]
00:22:19
◼
►
online stuff or any other features so so
[TS]
00:22:21
◼
►
there you have it the depressing non
[TS]
00:22:23
◼
►
exciting conclusion to my quest for a
[TS]
00:22:25
◼
►
finance program I'm still using quick in
[TS]
00:22:27
◼
►
2007 all right and the final section of
[TS]
00:22:32
◼
►
fall before we get to the QA guys going
[TS]
00:22:35
◼
►
to be all about the geek culture stuff
[TS]
00:22:37
◼
►
doesn't let let's just say that the
[TS]
00:22:42
◼
►
outpouring of responses about that
[TS]
00:22:46
◼
►
episode has been more that I feel than
[TS]
00:22:49
◼
►
any any episode that you've done maybe
[TS]
00:22:51
◼
►
with the exception of your Steve Jobs
[TS]
00:22:54
◼
►
Isaacson book uh episode yeah I expected
[TS]
00:22:59
◼
►
to get a whole bunch of hate mail and
[TS]
00:23:01
◼
►
sort of true to form like as soon as the
[TS]
00:23:04
◼
►
show was over and you know stop
[TS]
00:23:06
◼
►
recording I quit skype like the first
[TS]
00:23:08
◼
►
email to arrive was a not complimentary
[TS]
00:23:11
◼
►
and I'm like all right here it comes but
[TS]
00:23:13
◼
►
really that was like the exception most
[TS]
00:23:15
◼
►
of the feedback was positive I always
[TS]
00:23:18
◼
►
kind of feel like for like blog posts or
[TS]
00:23:20
◼
►
podcasts and stuff like that it's kind
[TS]
00:23:23
◼
►
of cheating when you when you do a topic
[TS]
00:23:27
◼
►
that people have an emotional connection
[TS]
00:23:28
◼
►
to know like all that was great like the
[TS]
00:23:31
◼
►
Steve Jobs show why do people like that
[TS]
00:23:32
◼
►
it's because i was particularly
[TS]
00:23:33
◼
►
insightful or articulate no it's just
[TS]
00:23:35
◼
►
that people have an emotional connection
[TS]
00:23:36
◼
►
to Steve Jobs so when you talk about it
[TS]
00:23:38
◼
►
triggers the emotions in them and they'd
[TS]
00:23:40
◼
►
say all that was a great podcast really
[TS]
00:23:41
◼
►
wasn't I don't think it was any greater
[TS]
00:23:43
◼
►
or better than mote you know I think
[TS]
00:23:45
◼
►
other podcasts i did on less emotionally
[TS]
00:23:48
◼
►
resonant topics were more interesting
[TS]
00:23:50
◼
►
more insightful better structured more
[TS]
00:23:52
◼
►
coherent blah blah blah but people
[TS]
00:23:54
◼
►
connect to emotionally and sell that was
[TS]
00:23:56
◼
►
the one that I really liked and so I see
[TS]
00:23:57
◼
►
that I was blog post or someone write a
[TS]
00:23:59
◼
►
blog post about something it's like was
[TS]
00:24:02
◼
►
this an example of great riding or was
[TS]
00:24:04
◼
►
it just writing about a topic that you
[TS]
00:24:06
◼
►
have an emotional connection to like
[TS]
00:24:08
◼
►
maybe I'm crazy for trying to separate
[TS]
00:24:10
◼
►
those two but I always you know you know
[TS]
00:24:12
◼
►
it my my usual modus operandi is is to
[TS]
00:24:15
◼
►
reject any compliments and explain why
[TS]
00:24:17
◼
►
they're not valid and that happened
[TS]
00:24:19
◼
►
again with this one because i felt like
[TS]
00:24:20
◼
►
it when I listen back to him like I kind
[TS]
00:24:22
◼
►
of got the point across i was kind of
[TS]
00:24:24
◼
►
get across but really was this was that
[TS]
00:24:27
◼
►
episode you know but anyway I thank
[TS]
00:24:29
◼
►
everyone for the feedback I did want to
[TS]
00:24:31
◼
►
talk about it I'm glad that people
[TS]
00:24:34
◼
►
enjoyed it and I'm not trying to
[TS]
00:24:35
◼
►
invalidate your enjoyment of it i'm just
[TS]
00:24:37
◼
►
being my normal hypercritical self what
[TS]
00:24:40
◼
►
else can I be but I do have some
[TS]
00:24:44
◼
►
follow-up on that episode I'll get back
[TS]
00:24:46
◼
►
onto this self analysis in a little bit
[TS]
00:24:50
◼
►
first part is a a link that a couple
[TS]
00:24:53
◼
►
people sent me like that actually read
[TS]
00:24:55
◼
►
but I didn't manage to get into the show
[TS]
00:24:57
◼
►
notes I'd read it awhile ago I think
[TS]
00:24:58
◼
►
back when it was published two things
[TS]
00:24:59
◼
►
from like this summer it's by john
[TS]
00:25:01
◼
►
scalzi who is a famous science fiction
[TS]
00:25:04
◼
►
author i have not read any of his books
[TS]
00:25:07
◼
►
but he's still famous still see even if
[TS]
00:25:09
◼
►
you have not read it he still qualifies
[TS]
00:25:11
◼
►
I don't read them any century science
[TS]
00:25:13
◼
►
fiction books believe it or not then I
[TS]
00:25:15
◼
►
would think you'd be spending almost all
[TS]
00:25:18
◼
►
of your free time not to preparing for
[TS]
00:25:20
◼
►
the show reading and rereading Ender's
[TS]
00:25:22
◼
►
Game I have never read that book never I
[TS]
00:25:26
◼
►
don't know if it would hold up for you
[TS]
00:25:27
◼
►
anymore I think it's actually on one of
[TS]
00:25:29
◼
►
my I think I bought the book of it
[TS]
00:25:31
◼
►
thinking maybe I should read it but then
[TS]
00:25:33
◼
►
you should read it but yeah alright so
[TS]
00:25:37
◼
►
the title of this article by john scalzi
[TS]
00:25:38
◼
►
is who gets to be geek anyone who wants
[TS]
00:25:41
◼
►
to be which sums up the last show i put
[TS]
00:25:46
◼
►
it in the show it's only for
[TS]
00:25:47
◼
►
completeness i think the title says it
[TS]
00:25:49
◼
►
all sometimes you don't have to write
[TS]
00:25:50
◼
►
the body of the thing it's who gets a
[TS]
00:25:52
◼
►
biggie ? answer anyone who wants to be
[TS]
00:25:54
◼
►
okay no body of this article is required
[TS]
00:25:56
◼
►
oh you need more explanation than read
[TS]
00:25:58
◼
►
on so he said it better earlier so there
[TS]
00:26:02
◼
►
you have it some more feedback from
[TS]
00:26:05
◼
►
people talking about uh you know
[TS]
00:26:09
◼
►
misogynists and stuff like that and it
[TS]
00:26:12
◼
►
made me think of another point that I
[TS]
00:26:14
◼
►
should have put into the previous show
[TS]
00:26:16
◼
►
it's about what you are versus what you
[TS]
00:26:19
◼
►
do this is another one of those things
[TS]
00:26:20
◼
►
like the year that your mother tells you
[TS]
00:26:22
◼
►
when you're little that adults should
[TS]
00:26:23
◼
►
still remember because it's valid advice
[TS]
00:26:25
◼

about people in that way like condemning

00:27:02
◼

it's better it's better to condemn their
[TS]
00:27:04
◼

actions then to say they are something
[TS]
00:27:07
◼

because if you say someone is something

actions and policies and stuff rather

controversies you want if you want to

summary or just like a timeline of like

[TS]
00:30:51
◼
►
those now I don't want to get into this
[TS]
00:30:53
◼
►
issue mostly because it is a complex
[TS]
00:30:55
◼
►
issue and it's not where some place
[TS]
00:30:57
◼
►
where i can say all party a is totally
[TS]
00:30:58
◼
►
riding the other side is totally wrong
[TS]
00:30:59
◼
►
or vice versa so there are nuances on
[TS]
00:31:01
◼
►
both sides of this uh I I think the
[TS]
00:31:05
◼
►
people who asked me like what do you
[TS]
00:31:06
◼
►
think about this issue or whatever
[TS]
00:31:08
◼
►
my best answer to it is a blog post that
[TS]
00:31:12
◼
►
I wrote on my blog that never gets
[TS]
00:31:15
◼
►
posted too but I wrote this blog post
[TS]
00:31:16
◼
►
many months before the dick balls
[TS]
00:31:19
◼
►
controversy erupted right when I read it
[TS]
00:31:21
◼
►
I'm like I must have written this
[TS]
00:31:22
◼
►
afterwards because this must have been
[TS]
00:31:23
◼
►
like my way of like responding to the
[TS]
00:31:25
◼
►
dick bolts thing without addressing a
[TS]
00:31:27
◼
►
director but then it looked at the dates
[TS]
00:31:28
◼
►
I'm like no this was months before the
[TS]
00:31:30
◼
►
dick bulbs thing but i think it is
[TS]
00:31:31
◼
►
entirely relevant and related so if you
[TS]
00:31:33
◼
►
want to see sort of a somewhat oblique
[TS]
00:31:35
◼
►
answer to this entire controversy or
[TS]
00:31:37
◼
►
where I've come down on it you can read

[TS]
00:31:51

[TS]
00:31:53
◼
►
question of what do you think of that
[TS]
00:31:54
◼
►
big controversy I'd like I said I don't
[TS]
00:31:56
◼
►
want to talk about it because it's not
[TS]
00:31:57
◼

it's a type of thing we're both you know
[TS]
00:32:01
◼

penny arcade guys are well-intentioned
[TS]
00:32:11
◼
►
but did some very that reacted very
[TS]
00:32:13
◼
►
poorly again that's what talking about
[TS]
00:32:15
◼
►
you know saying what they did and what
[TS]
00:32:16
◼
►
that versus what they are i don't think
[TS]
00:32:18
◼
►
they are any kind of horrible human
[TS]
00:32:20
◼
►
beings i think all their motivations are
[TS]
00:32:22
◼
►
good but i think a lot of their actions
[TS]
00:32:23
◼
►
were not good and on the other side i
[TS]
00:32:27
◼
►
think there was a lack of understanding
[TS]
00:32:28
◼
►
about you know why the penny arcade guys
[TS]
00:32:32
◼
►
had such bad reactions because again not
[TS]
00:32:34
◼
►
not understanding to excuse it but
[TS]
00:32:36
◼
►
understanding because if you understand
[TS]
00:32:37
◼
►
why it is that they're acting that way
[TS]
00:32:39
◼
►
you're better able to help them also
[TS]
00:32:40
◼
►
their behavior versus just trying to
[TS]
00:32:42
◼
►
condemn them so it was just a bad
[TS]
00:32:43
◼
►
situation all around and there were no

◼
►
winners in this and you can read all

between being best friends with somebody
[TS]
00:35:14

and being actively hostile to them and

they can't call themselves a geek or are

social fallacy
[TS]
00:35:35

number one thing is like not only can

you not be a terrible person to them and

00:35:39
◼

deny them their own basic rights of

00:36:03
◼

culture of like being close and

everything you know it extends like no

everybody has to be friends with

00:36:09
◼

everybody I mean that I think that's
[TS]
00:36:10
◼

ridiculous and I guess that's why it's a
[TS]
00:36:11
◼

social fallacy but apparently this does
[TS]
00:36:14
◼
►
happen like reading through this geek
[TS]
00:36:15
◼

social fallacy things I'll read off the
[TS]
00:36:17
◼

title son they've got social policies
[TS]
00:36:19
◼
►
number one through five so one is
[TS]
00:36:21
◼

ostracized or evil to as friends accept
[TS]
00:36:24
◼
►
me as I am three is friendship before
[TS]
00:36:26
◼
►
all for his friendship is transitive
[TS]
00:36:28
◼
►
meaning if I'm friends with you and I'm
[TS]
00:36:30
◼
►
friends with him than you and him should
[TS]
00:36:31
◼

be friends and five is friends do
[TS]
00:36:33
◼

everything together and if you read
[TS]
00:36:36
◼

these geek social fallacies they did
[TS]
00:36:37
◼
►
none of them really rang true to me
[TS]
00:36:38
◼
►
because I guess none of my circles or
[TS]
00:36:40
◼
►
friends behave like this but i have seen
[TS]
00:36:42
◼
►
at a distance groups that appeared to
[TS]
00:36:45
◼
►
behave this way so i totally believe
[TS]
00:36:46
◼
►
that these are rooted in something this
[TS]
00:36:48
◼
►
is more like a sort of self-help thing
[TS]
00:36:50
◼
►
for like how to better interact with
[TS]
00:36:52
◼
►
other people successfully aimed at geeks
[TS]
00:36:55
◼
►
emphasizing the things that geeks may
[TS]
00:36:57
◼
►
you know because i guess it could happen
[TS]
00:37:00
◼
►
like you go too far in the other
[TS]
00:37:01
◼
►
direction and try to be accepting to
[TS]
00:37:03
◼
►
everybody and that extends to like
[TS]
00:37:04
◼
►
inviting everybody for your birthday
[TS]
00:37:06
◼
►
party and just becomes a disaster they
[TS]
00:37:09
◼

also talk about why fyp which is your
[TS]
00:37:12
◼

feelings your problem and i think i may
[TS]
00:37:14
◼

have that one a little bit more than
[TS]
00:37:15
◼
►
other people I think it'll small dose of
[TS]
00:37:17
◼
►
that is a is healthy actually but uh and
[TS]
00:37:21
◼
►
then why have YP carriers deal with
[TS]
00:37:23
◼
►
other people's fallacies by ignoring
[TS]
00:37:24
◼
►
them entirely in the process require a
[TS]
00:37:26
◼
►
reputation for being charmless lee tact
[TS]
00:37:28
◼
►
tactless yeah that's probably me so
[TS]
00:37:31
◼
►
anyway read the article maybe if you if
[TS]
00:37:33
◼

you can identify the things in it maybe
[TS]
00:37:35
◼
►
it can help you but i think it is not in
[TS]
00:37:37
◼
►
opposition to anything I said last time
[TS]
00:37:39
◼
►
and if people misinterpreted what I was
[TS]
00:37:42
◼
►
saying as you have to be best friends
[TS]
00:37:43
◼
►
with everybody in the world that was

00:37:54
◼
►
exactly you know that's what being X
[TS]
00:37:56
◼
►
onto each other means it doesn't mean
[TS]
00:37:57
◼
►
being best friends with everybody
[TS]
00:37:58
◼
►
doesn't mean you have to hang out with
[TS]
00:37:59
◼
►
everybody and talk everybody but
[TS]
00:38:00
◼
►
everything it just means like you can't
[TS]
00:38:01
◼
►
go up and say I hate you and everything
[TS]
00:38:05
◼
►
you say about yourself is false and I
[TS]
00:38:07
◼
►
deny the reality of any of your feelings
[TS]
00:38:09
◼
►
or interests that's a big range there
[TS]

00:38:13
◼
►

[TS]
00:38:37
◼
►
alright so he says in his screed Tony
[TS]
00:38:40
◼
►
Harrison mostly concerned with
[TS]
00:38:42
◼
►
establishing that female cosplayers have
[TS]
00:38:44
◼
►
no power over him sexually this under
[TS]
00:38:46
◼
►
scares underscore is a male anxiety that
[TS]
00:38:48
◼
►
isn't only a nerd concern but may be
[TS]
00:38:50
◼
►
particularly troubling to nerds one of
[TS]
00:38:52
◼
►
the traits of masculinity is supposed to
[TS]
00:38:53
◼
►
be in vulnerability or a move ability
[TS]
00:38:55
◼
►
but truth to tell male sexual response
[TS]
00:38:57
◼
►
it's mostly involuntary ass like
[TS]
00:38:59
◼
►
excitement comes when it comes in pop
[TS]
00:39:01
◼
►
culture there's a myth of the swab
[TS]
00:39:03
◼
►
dispassionate man who could take sexual
[TS]
00:39:04
◼
►
pleasure on his own terms but is in no
[TS]
00:39:06
◼
►
way under the thrall of women characters
[TS]
00:39:08
◼
►
like James Bond can remain unmoved by
[TS]
00:39:10
◼
►
the women throw themselves at an
[TS]
00:39:12
◼
►
interesting article about how this plays
[TS]
00:39:14
◼
►
out in the works of Raymond Chandler is
[TS]
00:39:16
◼
►
here and you know in typical it snob
[TS]
00:39:18
◼
►
fashion he gives me the link to this
[TS]
00:39:20
◼
►
Raymond Chandler thing maybe that's not
[TS]
00:39:21
◼
►
a little snob thing maybe that's just a
[TS]
00:39:22
◼
►
literary person thing but anyway I put
[TS]
00:39:24
◼
►
the link in the show notes you want to
[TS]
00:39:25
◼
►
read about how that works in Raymond
[TS]
00:39:27
◼
►
Chandler novels for nerds who are
[TS]
00:39:30
◼
►
regularly accused of being less than men
[TS]
00:39:32
◼
►
the desire to present an impervious
[TS]
00:39:34
◼
►
front is strong so think this is a you
[TS]
00:39:37
◼
►
know again i'm not sure i said here's
[TS]
00:39:38
◼
►
one explanation or cause of misogyny
[TS]
00:39:42
◼
►
here is another one the idea that
[TS]
00:39:44
◼
►
masculinity is shown to be unmoved by
[TS]
00:39:47
◼
►
things and yet men you know inevitably
[TS]
00:39:51
◼
►
are heterosexual men and Everly are
[TS]
00:39:53
◼
►
moved by things that they find sexually
[TS]
00:39:55
◼
►
attractive and you're supposed to not be
[TS]
00:39:57
◼
►
right and so
[TS]
00:39:59
◼
►
just massaging is manifesting itself is
[TS]
00:40:02
◼
►
trying to fight against that and say you
[TS]
00:40:04
◼
►
you don't have power over me sexually
[TS]
00:40:06
◼
►
revolting against these feelings that
[TS]
00:40:07
◼
►
are inside themselves about you know the
[TS]
00:40:09
◼
►
control that these females seem to have
[TS]
00:40:10
◼
►
so I thought that was a good explanation
[TS]
00:40:14
◼
►
and he has another bit at the end here
[TS]
00:40:15
◼
►
the one thing the Harrison too many
[TS]
00:40:18
◼
►
other men also assume is that women are
[TS]
00:40:19
◼
►
on display for the benefit of men those
[TS]
00:40:21
◼
►
who cosplay do it for a variety of you
[TS]
00:40:23
◼
►
reasons unique to themselves including
[TS]
00:40:25
◼
►
interest in the character is the
[TS]
00:40:26
◼
►
challenge of the craft the community
[TS]
00:40:27
◼
►
self-expression some may be involved in
[TS]
00:40:30
◼
►
sexualizing display but it's wrong to
[TS]
00:40:31
◼
►
assume that even these are doing it for
[TS]
00:40:34
◼
►
your pleasure or notice the fallacy is
[TS]
00:40:36
◼
►
that if you read someone's outfit and
[TS]
00:40:37
◼
►
this includes regular clothes as well as
[TS]
00:40:39
◼
►
dress-up clothes a sexually provocative
[TS]
00:40:40
◼
►
that the wearer had you in mind when she
[TS]
00:40:43
◼
►
chose it all all very true all one of
[TS]
00:40:46
◼
►
the you know many many more reasons for
[TS]
00:40:48
◼
►
misogyny I picked up I thought that was
[TS]
00:40:50
◼
►
the biggest gimme this is probably like

[TS]
00:41:12
◼
►

[TS]
00:41:14
◼
►
it says if it's a humorous site there
[TS]
00:41:15
◼
►

[TS]
00:41:17

[TS]
00:46:03
◼
►
because the the problem is I think a lot
[TS]
00:46:04
◼
►
of the episodes are like I come out and
[TS]
00:46:06
◼
►
I golike that was exactly what I wanted
[TS]
00:46:08
◼
►
to do but if no one is interested in
[TS]
00:46:09
◼
►
that topic it you know people go all
[TS]
00:46:11
◼
►
that episode stunk like but it raised if

00:46:13
◼
►

[TS]
00:46:14
◼

video games of control is like oh that's
[TS]
00:46:25
◼
►
my favorite one right so maybe that's
[TS]
00:46:28
◼
►
the most quintessential episode fix it

00:46:32
◼
►
uh you know down and detailed into a
[TS]
00:46:34
◼

00:53:35
◼

vic-20 was the first thing that captured
[TS]
00:53:38
◼

my attention that was clearly a piece of
[TS]
00:53:39
◼
►
technology and what was the second part
[TS]
00:53:42
◼
►
of that question second part of the
[TS]
00:53:44
◼
►
question was how did you fall in love
[TS]
00:53:46
◼
►
with tech yeah I think it all took was
[TS]
00:53:49
◼
►
the vic-20 like that you could hook
[TS]
00:53:50
◼
►
something up to your television and you
[TS]
00:53:52
◼
►
could press buttons on it and things
[TS]
00:53:53
◼
►
would appear in your television because
[TS]
00:53:55
◼
►
up to that point in my life the
[TS]
00:53:56
◼
►
television was merely something that's
[TS]
00:53:58
◼
►
sent out information but now I could do
[TS]
00:54:00
◼
►
things that would show up on the
[TS]
00:54:01
◼
►
television it was mad you controlled the
[TS]
00:54:04
◼
►
television it's like it's you know your
[TS]
00:54:06
◼
►
life is defined by like what the
[TS]
00:54:08
◼
►
television is no Sesame Street and
[TS]
00:54:09
◼

Muppet Show wherever you know it's like
[TS]
00:54:11
◼
►
this amazing box word entertainment
[TS]
00:54:13
◼
►
comes out and like and it totally flips
[TS]
00:54:14
◼
►
it like guess what no now you can put
[TS]
00:54:16
◼
►
stuff in there's like no way you know
[TS]
00:54:18
◼
►
people don't understand how crazy that
[TS]
00:54:19
◼
►
was but i think i think it really was
[TS]
00:54:21
◼
►
key that the thing you hooked it up to
[TS]
00:54:23
◼
►
was a television like it didn't come
[TS]
00:54:25
◼
►
with a monitor wasn't like you know
[TS]
00:54:26
◼
►
modern computer i think that really
[TS]
00:54:27
◼
►
really was key you know it sounds like
[TS]
00:54:29
◼
►
oh that was just this weird transitional
[TS]
00:54:31
◼
►
phase but they didn't have monitors and
[TS]
00:54:32
◼
►
you know they were decided the computer
[TS]
00:54:33
◼
►
but it was important that you were using
[TS]
00:54:36
◼
►
your television as the monitor because
[TS]
00:54:38
◼
►
it was subverting an existing sort of
[TS]
00:54:40
◼
►
relationship that you had with a piece
[TS]
00:54:42
◼
►
of technology in your house Stephen
[TS]
00:54:46
◼
►
Skeldon if you were offered your choice
[TS]
00:54:49
◼
►
of any job within the Apple hierarchy
[TS]
00:54:51
◼
►
what role would you pick and why yeah
[TS]
00:54:55
◼
►
there's only one job that I am qualified
[TS]
00:54:57
◼
►
for at Apple which is Steve Jobs his old
[TS]
00:55:00
◼
►
job which is the job where you tell
[TS]
00:55:01
◼
►
everybody else what to do that's right
[TS]
00:55:03
◼
►
and you know and that there's not an
[TS]
00:55:05
◼
►
opening for that job because they're
[TS]
00:55:06
◼
►
really my only qualification is I have
[TS]
00:55:08
◼
►
strong opinions about things and that's
[TS]
00:55:09
◼
►
probably true of a lot of people like
[TS]
00:55:11
◼
►
you know I don't I'm not an objective C
[TS]
00:55:13
◼
►
programmer I don't do user interface
[TS]
00:55:15
◼
►
design i'm not an electrical engineer
[TS]
00:55:17
◼
►
like I'm useless to the organization in
[TS]
00:55:19
◼
►
any capacity except that one position
[TS]
00:55:22
◼
►
where you tell everybody else what to do
[TS]
00:55:24
◼
►
and rule with an iron fist I'm not
[TS]
00:55:25
◼
►
saying I would do a good job but that is
[TS]
00:55:27
◼
►
the only position i can imagine taking
[TS]
00:55:28
◼
►
it the company other people ask me
[TS]
00:55:30
◼
►
that's actually one of the questions
[TS]
00:55:31
◼
►
yeah have you ever considered working an
[TS]
00:55:33
◼
►
apple uh not really because the first
[TS]
00:55:37
◼
►
thing is that they tend to want their
[TS]
00:55:39
◼
►
employees to be in California and I
[TS]
00:55:41
◼
►
don't want to move to California like I
[TS]
00:55:43
◼
►
said in the past show a lot of who's
[TS]
00:55:44
◼
►
able to hire who has to do with where
[TS]
00:55:46
◼
►
people live and if they wanted me to be
[TS]
00:55:48
◼
►
in California now I want to live in
[TS]
00:55:49
◼
►
california well that's the end of that
[TS]
00:55:51
◼
►
right right and the second is that from
[TS]
00:55:53
◼
►
everything I've heard from people who
[TS]
00:55:54
◼
►
work inside Apple it's not as glamorous
[TS]
00:55:56
◼
►
as you might think it's you know it's a
[TS]
00:55:58
◼
►
corporate stooge job the corporation may
[TS]
00:56:00
◼
►
be a corporation that makes great
[TS]
00:56:01
◼
►
products but it's a corporation and you
[TS]
00:56:04
◼
►
got bosses and middle management and all
[TS]
00:56:05
◼
►
the same things that happen in any other
[TS]
00:56:07
◼
►
company and yeah it's great because you
[TS]
00:56:08
◼
►
get to work on really cool things and if
[TS]
00:56:10
◼
►
you happen to be in the right group you
[TS]
00:56:11
◼
►
can do some really great work and change
[TS]
00:56:12
◼
►
the world and blah blah blah uh but you
[TS]
00:56:17
◼
►
know it's it's just another job right
[TS]
00:56:19
◼
►
like unless you're a guy in charge or
[TS]
00:56:21
◼
►
something really influence stuff I'm not
[TS]
00:56:23
◼
►
sure you know ok so this ties in
[TS]
00:56:26
◼
►
perfectly with alex chance question Tim
[TS]
00:56:30
◼
►
Cook resins tomorrow and appoints you as
[TS]
00:56:32
◼
►
a successor what is the first thing you
[TS]
00:56:34
◼
►
change at apple the first thing because
[TS]
00:56:37
◼
►
it's the easiest gimme is it's difficult
[TS]
00:56:39
◼
►
to know because like what what gimme
[TS]
00:56:42
◼
►
yeah I'm gonna say something but the
[TS]
00:56:44
◼
►
question is what would you change and
[TS]
00:56:46
◼
►
that implies that you know everything
[TS]
00:56:47
◼
►
that Apple is currently doing and we
[TS]
00:56:49
◼
►
don't obviously it's secret so if I go
[TS]
00:56:50
◼
►
in there and if only thing I knew if
[TS]
00:56:52
◼
►
only things that Apple was doing with
[TS]
00:56:54
◼
►
things i know about now the first thing
[TS]
00:56:55
◼
►
i would do would be to start a project
[TS]
00:56:58
◼
►
to make a new file says now maybe
[TS]
00:56:59
◼
►
already they already have a project to
[TS]
00:57:01
◼
►
make a new file system maybe that's
[TS]
00:57:02
◼
►
going to be come out next week I don't
[TS]
00:57:03
◼
►
know but like from the outside like
[TS]
00:57:05
◼
►
that's that's the easiest gimme change
[TS]
00:57:07
◼
►
because they desperately need a new file
[TS]
00:57:08
◼
►
system they've needed it was such a long
[TS]
00:57:10
◼
►
time it's such a key component and
[TS]
00:57:12
◼
►
everything that they do and it's only
[TS]
00:57:14
◼
►
going to become more important over time
[TS]
00:57:16
◼
►
you just cannot have your data on a file
[TS]
00:57:17
◼
►
system that has no idea whether your
[TS]
00:57:19
◼
►
data is correct or not in the routinely
[TS]
00:57:20
◼
►
karups itself it's boring its technical
[TS]
00:57:22
◼
►
it's like oh you're missing the big
[TS]
00:57:24
◼
►
picture blah blah but like it's just a
[TS]
00:57:26
◼
►
gimme day one you go and do that the
[TS]
00:57:28
◼
►
reverse of that the very difficult
[TS]
00:57:30
◼
►
project is that I would go about trying
[TS]
00:57:32
◼
►
to change the company to make it more
[TS]
00:57:36
◼
►
focused on server-side culture if you
[TS]
00:57:38
◼
►
listen to hyper critical for the past
[TS]
00:57:39
◼
►
couple years you know I keep harping on
[TS]
00:57:41
◼
►
this but it's totally true that the way
[TS]
00:57:45
◼
►
which apple is not like Google in terms
[TS]
00:57:47
◼
►
of the focus on the server side hardware
[TS]
00:57:49
◼
►
and software it should I think it should
[TS]
00:57:52
◼
►
be more like them that regard doesn't
[TS]
00:57:53
◼
►
mean you need to take away any of the
[TS]
00:57:54
◼
►
good things that Apple does doesn't mean
[TS]
00:57:56
◼
►
you have to oh you got to make them like
[TS]
00:57:57
◼
►
Google make them bad at all no they stay
[TS]
00:57:59
◼
►
good at the stuff they're good at but
[TS]
00:58:01
◼
►
try to also foster you know maybe it's
[TS]
00:58:03
◼
►
like a part of the company a section of
[TS]
00:58:05
◼
►
the company you just add to the culture
[TS]
00:58:06
◼
►
that be the kind of culture that makes
[TS]
00:58:08
◼
►
you you know write your own
[TS]
00:58:10
◼
►
infrastructure components like you know
[TS]
00:58:12
◼
►
the Google file system or a big table or
[TS]
00:58:15
◼
►
spanner or the apple or Amazon Web
[TS]
00:58:18
◼
►
Services and easy to like that needs to
[TS]
00:58:21
◼
►
go into Apple that kind of culture and
[TS]
00:58:23
◼
►
idea and expertise that needs to happen
[TS]
00:58:25
◼
►
so that would be my my you know so
[TS]
00:58:27
◼
►
there's two two changes one is the
[TS]
00:58:29
◼
►
little tiny one about the file system
[TS]
00:58:30
◼
►
and the other one is big giant company
[TS]
00:58:32
◼
►
wide sweeping philosophical and both of
[TS]
00:58:35
◼
►
those probably sound like terrible
[TS]
00:58:37
◼
►
answers because like I said people think
[TS]
00:58:38
◼
►
that the little one about the file
[TS]
00:58:40
◼
►
system is unimportant and it's missing
[TS]
00:58:41
◼
►
to the forest of the trees and people
[TS]
00:58:42
◼
►
think the other one is gonna turn up
[TS]
00:58:43
◼
►
went to Google and make them bad at all
[TS]
00:58:45
◼
►
the stuff that they're good at and I
[TS]
00:58:47
◼
►
would try to avoid that okay so this is
[TS]
00:58:49
◼
►
a kind of addressing Glen Gray's
[TS]
00:58:51
◼
►
question where he says aside from the
[TS]
00:58:55
◼
►
HFS plus file system replacement what
[TS]
00:58:57
◼
►
technology do you think Mac OS 10 or OS
[TS]
00:59:00
◼
►
10 as you say is sorely missing at this
[TS]
00:59:02
◼
►
point uh well I'm already harped on the
[TS]
00:59:08
◼
►
language and API issue with Objective C
[TS]
00:59:10
◼
►
I don't think you can keep going on
[TS]
00:59:11
◼
►
forever altering objective-c I like to
[TS]
00:59:14
◼
►
see a better language that I'm not sure
[TS]
00:59:15
◼
►
if that would count as an operating
[TS]
00:59:16
◼
►
system feature what I would focus on i
[TS]
00:59:19
◼
►
think that there's been a lack of really
[TS]
00:59:21
◼
►
interesting stuff going on in the kernel
[TS]
00:59:23
◼
►
space i was just talking earlier today
[TS]
00:59:26
◼
►
about like when you have an OS update
[TS]
00:59:30
◼
►
remember when they used to give you an
[TS]
00:59:32
◼
►
OS update and like many many versions
[TS]
00:59:34
◼
►
ago mac OS 10 and it would say this this
[TS]
00:59:37
◼
►
update requires a restart and you just
[TS]
00:59:39
◼
►
click the button they would do the
[TS]
00:59:40
◼
►
install and then install i would say
[TS]
00:59:42
◼
►
okay i've applied the you know 10-point
[TS]
00:59:44
◼
►
4.3 update click this button to restart
[TS]
00:59:46
◼
►
and then you just leave the dialog up on
[TS]
00:59:48
◼
►
your on your computer keep working yeah
[TS]
00:59:50
◼
►
which is terrible i can it's updating
[TS]
00:59:52
◼
►
operating system while you're using it
[TS]
00:59:53
◼
►
and then some the new policy is that
[TS]
00:59:55
◼
►
they they don't let you they say okay
[TS]
00:59:58
◼
►
this this up
[TS]
00:59:59
◼
►
requires a restart
[TS]
00:59:59
◼
►
requires a restart
[TS]
01:00:00
◼
►
and you have to just immediately log out
[TS]
01:00:01
◼
►
all the apps quit and then it does
[TS]
01:00:03
◼
►
download you know it installs the
[TS]
01:00:04
◼
►
installer or downloads it while you're
[TS]
01:00:06
◼
►
working but then it does the Installer
[TS]
01:00:07
◼
►
when you're not working right so the
[TS]
01:00:09
◼
►
idea of you know this requires kernel
[TS]
01:00:11
◼
►
space change of the hardware changes and
[TS]
01:00:12
◼
►
everything with the idea of a system
[TS]
01:00:14
◼

that is more robust kind of more like

mainframes where you can like do things
[TS]
01:00:19

on the fly without restarting restarting

the system I completely replace the
[TS]
01:00:22
◼

kernel or swap out CPUs and all these
[TS]
01:00:24
◼

crazy mainframe features that people who
[TS]
01:00:26
◼
►
are inter mainframe computers know about
[TS]
01:00:27
◼
►
and say this is why mainframes are still
[TS]
01:00:29
◼

relevant because you know i can replace
[TS]
01:00:31
◼

the cpu without stopping any
[TS]
01:00:32

transactions on this machine that runs

type of features hardware that hardware

you can you know modify upgrade recover

sort of these barbaric things that we

have to do now and this is an example of
[TS]
01:00:58
◼

people can sell that's crazy yeah maybe
[TS]
01:00:59

personal computers but this is how

technology works crazy features happen
[TS]
01:01:06

on out on mainframes first like virtual
[TS]
01:01:08

memory who that is going to need that
[TS]
01:01:09
◼

right and then it trickles down and this
[TS]
01:01:12
◼

is the the next thing I think they need
[TS]
01:01:14
◼

to trickle down especially as our
[TS]
01:01:15
◼

electronics are becoming more like
[TS]

appliances that we sort of have the

technology and know-how to do a lot of

these things but so far not the will to

say I'm going to make a new thing it

don't have to restart when we when we

give you an update to the kernel or some

other part of the operating system in

everything off dump all the contents of

memory and restart so that kind of that
[TS]
01:01:43

kind of ambition to bring a mainframe
[TS]
01:01:46

level robust lyst robustness two things
[TS]
01:01:48
◼

the size of a wristwatch or phone and I
[TS]
01:01:52

think that requires core operating
[TS]
01:01:54
◼

system changes and some more exciting
[TS]
01:01:56
◼

advancements there instead of just like

01:01:58
◼

adding slightly more finer grain locking
[TS]
01:02:00

or transactional memory to the unified

buffer cache or whatever all right let's

much time to duel anymore in this modern

computer age remember how much you
[TS]
01:05:18
◼

everyone used to doodle like in school
[TS]
01:05:19
◼

because we've got like you're bored and
[TS]
01:05:21
◼

you've got a pencil and you've got paper
[TS]
01:05:22
◼
►
and folders and margins and stuff and so
[TS]
01:05:24
◼
►
you don't like crazy but if you spend
[TS]
01:05:26
◼
►
all day in front of a computer in a
[TS]
01:05:27
◼
►
keyboard it's like no place to doodle
[TS]
01:05:28
◼

and people don't like oh let me open up
[TS]
01:05:30
◼

a little sketch pad app and start
[TS]
01:05:32
◼

doodling with my mouse it's just too
[TS]
01:05:33
◼
►
much of this too much barrier to entry
[TS]
01:05:35
◼
►
whereas idle doodling you just give
[TS]
01:05:37
◼
►
anyone a pen and a piece of paper and
[TS]
01:05:39
◼
►
like put them on the phone and they will
[TS]
01:05:40
◼
►
just make tremendous creations on that
[TS]
01:05:42
◼
►
paper while they talk on the phone that
[TS]
01:05:45
◼
►
should be it is not already a tumblr for
[TS]
01:05:46
◼
►
this there should be called like pho
[TS]
01:05:48
◼
►
noodles calm or something like that or
[TS]
01:05:50
◼
►
idle doodles where someone has a pen and
[TS]
01:05:53
◼

any piece of paper or newspaper anything
[TS]
01:05:55
◼

near them and they're doing something
[TS]
01:05:56
◼

else I like talking on the phone or or
[TS]
01:05:58
◼
►
you know just having a conversation with
[TS]
01:06:00
◼
►
somebody and the amazing things that
[TS]
01:06:02
◼

come out of people's hands when they're
[TS]
01:06:03
◼

just idly doodling crazy-looking fractal

[TS]
01:06:09
◼
►
dinosaurs like all sorts of amazing
[TS]
01:06:11
◼
►
things I think those should be collected
[TS]
01:06:13
◼
►
because that's the type of thing where
[TS]
01:06:14
◼
►
you say oh I don't draw but then you
[TS]
01:06:16
◼
►
look at the huge volume of doodles they
[TS]
01:06:18
◼
►
produce during the year like that's art
[TS]
01:06:20
◼
►
like you're expressing yourself
[TS]
01:06:21
◼
►
unconsciously perhaps but uh but other
[TS]
01:06:24
◼
►
than that yeah I would say no I don't do
[TS]
01:06:25
◼
►
any formal drawing anymore these days
[TS]
01:06:28
◼

kind of for the reasons stated in my
[TS]
01:06:31
◼

hyper critical thing on our aesthetic

01:06:33
◼
►
article you can read if you want to I do

01:06:35
◼
►
have a lot of my old stuff hanging

01:06:39
◼

room was

[TS]
01:11:50
◼

on i'm pronouncing like python
[TS]
01:11:54
◼
►
postgresql mysql which yep I had that
[TS]
01:12:02
◼

topic on my list and I decided not to do
[TS]
01:12:04
◼
►
because i thought was too boring as the
[TS]
01:12:06
◼
►
question like is there any topics you on
[TS]
01:12:08
◼
►
your list that you didn't get to the
[TS]
01:12:09
◼
►
wand to that was unless but didn't want
[TS]
01:12:11
◼
►
to get to it but if you just want the
[TS]
01:12:12
◼
►
one-word answer uh postgres like yeah I
[TS]
01:12:16
◼
►
don't like MySQL for so many reasons I
[TS]
01:12:19
◼
►
think I talked about this once on the
[TS]
01:12:20
◼
►
show I'll give my capsule summary of it
[TS]
01:12:22
◼
►
uh it depends on how you view the
[TS]
01:12:24
◼
►
database like Oh for this couple things
[TS]
01:12:26
◼
►
so one is likewise my girl so popular
[TS]
01:12:29
◼
►
and that has to do with lots of like
[TS]
01:12:31
◼
►
social reasons and like you know ease of
[TS]
01:12:33
◼
►
use and stuff but if you are like a
[TS]
01:12:34
◼
►
database nerd it's like it if you're not
[TS]
01:12:36
◼
►
worried about oh tell me which one I can
[TS]
01:12:38
◼
►
figure out how to get set up or which
[TS]
01:12:39
◼
►
one is just gonna work best with some
[TS]
01:12:41
◼
►
framework out of the box like I don't
[TS]
01:12:42
◼
►
care about those things because I know
[TS]
01:12:43
◼
►
about databases I don't care which one
[TS]
01:12:45
◼
►
is like easier to set up I don't care
[TS]
01:12:46
◼
►
which one most people use I don't
[TS]
01:12:48
◼
►
because all those things are not
[TS]
01:12:49
◼
►
barriers to entry to me I can figure it
[TS]
01:12:50
◼
►
out I can make it work you know right so
[TS]
01:12:53
◼
►
you're immediately judging by criteria
[TS]
01:12:55
◼
►
that most people aren't judging by its
[TS]
01:12:56
◼
►
most people like I don't care what
[TS]
01:12:57
◼
►
database you just tell me which one
[TS]
01:12:58
◼
►
works with the thing Oh rails likes
[TS]
01:13:00
◼
►
mysql filers go with that right but if
[TS]
01:13:02
◼
►
you're not that person if you're a
[TS]
01:13:04
◼
►
database nerd if you spent your whole
[TS]
01:13:05
◼
►
career doing back end web programming
[TS]
01:13:07
◼
►
you wanna you want the one that matches
[TS]
01:13:09
◼
►
your philosophy and my philosophy was
[TS]
01:13:12
◼
►
and probably still is that the database
[TS]
01:13:14
◼
►
is the defender of the data i want a
[TS]
01:13:17
◼
►
database that lets me set itself up in a
[TS]
01:13:19
◼
►
way that is impossible
[TS]
01:13:20
◼
►
for that database to ever contain data
[TS]
01:13:22
◼
►
that is invalid right and I want all the
[TS]
01:13:24
◼
►
cool database features that let me do
[TS]
01:13:26
◼
►
that and I want to have high performance
[TS]
01:13:27
◼
►
then I want to be able you know to find
[TS]
01:13:28
◼
►
my own types and do all sorts of you
[TS]
01:13:31
◼
►
know all sorts of fancy database e-type
[TS]
01:13:33
◼
►
things really rich stored procedure
[TS]
01:13:35
◼
►
language so things that are faster to do
[TS]
01:13:37
◼
►
in store procedures i can do that way
[TS]
01:13:38
◼
►
like all database nerd stuff and my
[TS]
01:13:40
◼
►
sequels not even a contender in those
[TS]
01:13:41
◼
►
things whereas postgres gives me all
[TS]
01:13:44
◼
►
those things and more it you know gives
[TS]
01:13:46
◼
►
me the ability to make a dated my
[TS]
01:13:48
◼
►
database the defender of the data with
[TS]
01:13:49
◼
►
tons of cool features half which i'm a
[TS]
01:13:51
◼
►
need but someday maybe I think I will uh
[TS]
01:13:53
◼
►
and I've used both of them extensively
[TS]
01:13:56
◼
►
and you know if I had to pick for any
[TS]
01:13:58
◼
►
project that i was doing i would pick
[TS]
01:14:00
◼
►
progressed in on my signal doesn't mean
[TS]
01:14:01
◼
►
you should pick postgres not sequel you
[TS]
01:14:03
◼
►
know you should use whatever criteria
[TS]
01:14:04
◼
►
you want but my sequel has a history of
[TS]
01:14:06
◼
►
not being the defender of the data of
[TS]
01:14:09
◼
►
letting cube letting you insert you know
[TS]
01:14:12
◼
►
letters into integer columns and marking
[TS]
01:14:15
◼

a column is not null and allowing a
[TS]
01:14:18
◼

empty string and no even know values in
[TS]
01:14:20
◼
►
them like this yeah my sequel was
[TS]
01:14:23
◼
►
depressing to me I don't like it I never
[TS]
01:14:25
◼

[TS]
01:16:35
◼
►
2013 mac pro he says you Mac Pro and or
[TS]
01:16:39
◼
►
replacement and this is when Marco and I
[TS]
01:16:41
◼

01:16:42
◼
►
week on build and analyze you know it he
[TS]
01:16:45
◼

wiII identified I think Marco pointed
[TS]
01:16:47
◼

out that you know Tim didn't say we'll
[TS]
01:16:49
◼
►
have an updated Mac Pro for you he said

01:16:52
◼

we'll have something for those of you
[TS]
01:16:53
◼
►
who like the mac pro it was it was much
[TS]
01:16:56
◼

more ambiguous than that like I well you

01:17:01
◼

many many times I've made that point oh
[TS]
01:17:06
◼
►
you did and so you get the credit for it
[TS]
01:17:08
◼
►
but he made that point on the show
[TS]
01:17:10
◼
►
whether we attributed to you or not it's
[TS]
01:17:13
◼
►
the same point yes and is it bears
[TS]
01:17:14
◼
►
repeating anyway uh I think the odds of
[TS]
01:17:18
◼
►
sounding that looks just like a current
[TS]
01:17:20
◼
►
mac pro with the different stuff on the
[TS]
01:17:21
◼
►
inside is like below fifty percent
[TS]
01:17:23
◼

we're all this waiting and only thing
[TS]
01:17:26
◼
►
you're gonna have is something that's
[TS]
01:17:27
◼
►
exactly the same it's called a mac pro
[TS]
01:17:29
◼
►
it looks like a big cheese grater but
[TS]
01:17:30
◼
►
just the in size are different that
[TS]
01:17:31
◼
►
seems spectacularly unlikely to me or
[TS]
01:17:33
◼
►
but i made me you know less than fifty
[TS]
01:17:36
◼
►
percent i would bet against it if only
[TS]
01:17:39
◼
►
because like the optical drives going
[TS]
01:17:41
◼
►
away everywhere not because it has to
[TS]
01:17:44
◼
►
but because that's what Apple does like
[TS]
01:17:45
◼
►
is there a reason the optical drive had
[TS]
01:17:47
◼
►
to leave the imac know
[TS]
01:17:48
◼
►
that's the thing apples doing so how can
[TS]
01:17:50
◼
►
you take a thing a case this big and
[TS]
01:17:52
◼
►
there was room for two optical drives
[TS]
01:17:54
◼
►
all we're just going to put a blank spot
[TS]
01:17:55
◼
►
there and not have them and just fill it
[TS]
01:17:57
◼
►
with more hard drives like it seems
[TS]
01:17:58
◼
►
crazy to me that something that Mac Pro
[TS]
01:18:02
◼
►
users might like would come out and it
[TS]
01:18:04
◼
►
would be exactly the same big cheese
[TS]
01:18:05
◼
►
grater case so I'm hoping it's not in
[TS]
01:18:08
◼
►
the same case and I don't expect it to
[TS]
01:18:10
◼
►
be and you will you will get one
[TS]
01:18:14
◼
►
probably yeah okay Martin Baron under
[TS]
01:18:20
◼
►
what conditions would you switch to PC
[TS]
01:18:22
◼
►
or windows what hypothetically would
[TS]
01:18:24
◼
►
need to happen hardware software wise
[TS]
01:18:26
◼
►
before the switch suppose OS 10 was
[TS]
01:18:28
◼
►
discontinued what operating system would
[TS]
01:18:30
◼
►
you switch to switch to PC or windows
[TS]
01:18:34
◼
►
yeah that's the under what conditions I
[TS]
01:18:37
◼
►
don't like these questions if Apple had
[TS]
01:18:41
◼
►
gone out of business in like nineteen
[TS]
01:18:42
◼
►
ninety-seven yeah ah we're tie he's
[TS]
01:18:46
◼
►
talking about now though Matt Martin I
[TS]
01:18:47
◼
►
know I'm trying I'm trying to think of
[TS]
01:18:48
◼
►
scenarios words which all right but if
[TS]
01:18:50
◼
►
Apple if Apple Ghana business 1997 I
[TS]
01:18:52
◼
►
probably would have switched to linux
[TS]
01:18:54
◼
►
but I probably also would have dual
[TS]
01:18:56
◼
►
booted windows for games the only way I
[TS]
01:18:59
◼
►
can imagine I would ever switch to
[TS]
01:19:01
◼
►
Windows or switch away from Mac os10 got
[TS]
01:19:06
◼
►
it even if Apple disappears tomorrow
[TS]
01:19:08
◼
►
like I would I would go to unix I would
[TS]
01:19:10
◼
►
not because my you know I love apple
[TS]
01:19:12
◼
►
stuff but i also love unix I do not love
[TS]
01:19:14
◼
►
almost anything about windows except for
[TS]
01:19:17
◼
►
the fact that it runs some games that i
[TS]
01:19:18
◼
►
like so i would i would go to unix I
[TS]
01:19:21
◼
►
would not go to windows because I had
[TS]
01:19:22
◼
►
you know and it and you say what of UNIX
[TS]
01:19:24
◼
►
goes away I don't think I think that's
[TS]
01:19:26
◼
►
harder to do you could probably make
[TS]
01:19:27
◼
►
apple go away but you can't make us go
[TS]
01:19:29
◼
►
away so I would I would almost certainly
[TS]
01:19:30
◼
►
go to unix this despite the fact like I
[TS]
01:19:33
◼
►
said I don't wanna screw with my stuff I
[TS]
01:19:34
◼
►
don't want to build my own pc you don't
[TS]
01:19:35
◼
►
accept the config files but I would
[TS]
01:19:37
◼
►
still I would still go with UNIX but i
[TS]
01:19:41
◼
►
hope i hope it never comes to that Anna
[TS]
01:19:43
◼
►
debenhams susa friend of the show I
[TS]
01:19:47
◼
►
guess we can say that she says what do
[TS]
01:19:50
◼
►
you want to see game console
[TS]
01:19:51
◼
►
manufacturers doing over the next few
[TS]
01:19:54
◼
►
years now we we talked about that
[TS]
01:19:56
◼
►
Android style console but then the other
[TS]
01:19:59
◼
►
thing you kick-started what it what are
[TS]
01:20:01
◼
►
you hoping for
[TS]
01:20:02
◼
►
or is it the wii u i hope the game
[TS]
01:20:08
◼
►
console manufacturers first i hope they
[TS]
01:20:10
◼
►
stay in business that's my first help
[TS]
01:20:12
◼
►
for all them because they are sort of
[TS]
01:20:16
◼
►
beset on all sides by competitors that
[TS]
01:20:18
◼
►
are sort of you know is there room for
[TS]
01:20:20
◼
►
original game console i hope that there
[TS]
01:20:22
◼
►
continues to be room for that device and
[TS]
01:20:24
◼
►
I hope they innovate into such a way
[TS]
01:20:26
◼
►
that they stay in business second thing
[TS]
01:20:28
◼
►
is I hope that they sort of are more
[TS]
01:20:33
◼
►
bold about making radical technological
[TS]
01:20:37
◼
►
changes it seems like I mean you can't
[TS]
01:20:41
◼
►
expect a cheap home game console to have
[TS]
01:20:44
◼
►
the power of like PC with a
[TS]
01:20:46
◼
►
six-hundred-dollar video card inside it
[TS]
01:20:48
◼
►
right you just can't compete with that
[TS]
01:20:50
◼
►
kind of money but you can do interesting
[TS]
01:20:52
◼
►
things on the console that you can't do
[TS]
01:20:54
◼
►
on the pc like the ps3 i think was very
[TS]
01:20:56
◼
►
technically and just interesting with
[TS]
01:20:58
◼
►
the cell architecture and stuff and
[TS]
01:20:59
◼
►
there's no way they could fly on the pc
[TS]
01:21:00
◼
►
because it would be incompatible with
[TS]
01:21:02
◼
►
all software and it was crazy
[TS]
01:21:04
◼
►
architecture and it's just not going to
[TS]
01:21:05
◼
►
fly at all but you can do that on the
[TS]
01:21:07
◼
►
console now i don't think the pc was
[TS]
01:21:08
◼
►
this ps3 was this resounding success and
[TS]
01:21:11
◼
►
i don't think the cell experiment was a
[TS]
01:21:12
◼
►
particularly big success but that kind
[TS]
01:21:15
◼
►
of innovation it can't happen in the
[TS]
01:21:16
◼
►
peace pc pc space it can't happen in the
[TS]
01:21:18
◼
►
mac space it really can't happen in the
[TS]
01:21:20
◼
►
phone or tablet space because they have
[TS]
01:21:22
◼
►
such an entrenched you know backward
[TS]
01:21:24
◼
►
compatibility culture and stuff like
[TS]
01:21:26
◼
►
that whereas on the game console space
[TS]
01:21:28
◼
►
it's still okay to say maybe your old
[TS]
01:21:30
◼
►
games will run on the ps4 maybe they
[TS]
01:21:32
◼
►
won't you know they always try to do
[TS]
01:21:34
◼
►
some nod to backward compatibility but
[TS]
01:21:35
◼
►
that's a relatively recent phenomenon I
[TS]
01:21:37
◼
►
wish that would be beaten back a little
[TS]
01:21:38
◼
►
bit because it lets that divide of
[TS]
01:21:41
◼
►
saying well from one generation of the
[TS]
01:21:42
◼
►
council the next lets them wipe the
[TS]
01:21:44
◼
►
slate clean and go all right well we
[TS]
01:21:46
◼
►
don't really care if ps2 games playing
[TS]
01:21:48
◼
►
the ps3 like the way they did it was
[TS]
01:21:49
◼
►
they put the ps2 a motion engine chip
[TS]
01:21:52
◼
►
thing onto one system on a chip and they
[TS]
01:21:53
◼
►
just shoved it on the motherboard next
[TS]
01:21:55
◼
►
to the ps3 was basically a ps2 and ps3
[TS]
01:21:57
◼
►
next to each other and eventually they
[TS]
01:21:59
◼
►
just ditch the ps2 compatibility
[TS]
01:22:01
◼
►
entirely and you know people grumble a
[TS]
01:22:03
◼
►
little bit but we all survived right I
[TS]
01:22:05
◼
►
like that I like being able to wipe the
[TS]
01:22:07
◼
►
slate clean and so that's what I hope
[TS]
01:22:08
◼
►
console makers continue to do this is
[TS]
01:22:10
◼
►
anachronistic to say what they should
[TS]
01:22:12
◼
►
really start to do is be more like the
[TS]
01:22:14
◼
►
app store and
[TS]
01:22:15
◼
►
you know do all the stuff they need to
[TS]
01:22:16
◼
►
do to stay in business but what I love
[TS]
01:22:18
◼
►
about the consoles are the old things
[TS]
01:22:20
◼
►
that are terrible for them that are
[TS]
01:22:21
◼
►
driving them out of business but if you
[TS]
01:22:23
◼
►
ask me what I want that's what I want
[TS]
01:22:25
◼
►
all right let me hear oh here's a good
[TS]
01:22:29
◼
►
one Nicholas Ward AKA ultra nerd would
[TS]
01:22:34
◼
►
you ever leave pearl for another
[TS]
01:22:36
◼
►
language what would such a language need
[TS]
01:22:38
◼
►
or how could pearl be improved well I
[TS]
01:22:40
◼
►
think that last part that's that's all
[TS]
01:22:43
◼
►
show or whole series the first part
[TS]
01:22:47
◼
►
would you ever leave pearl for another
[TS]
01:22:48
◼
►
language and what with the language need
[TS]
01:22:49
◼
►
you know it's not like that's not really
[TS]
01:22:53
◼
►
how development works in the modern
[TS]
01:22:55
◼
►
world where you're like you know I
[TS]
01:22:56
◼
►
you're an ex programmer and you draw
[TS]
01:22:59
◼
►
your programming in that language and
[TS]
01:23:00
◼
►
you can leave it for another language
[TS]
01:23:01
◼
►
like at various times in my current
[TS]
01:23:04
◼
►
career like I've spent not just like a
[TS]
01:23:06
◼
►
day or a month or a week but hold you
[TS]
01:23:08
◼
►
know long sections of my work life doing
[TS]
01:23:11
◼
►
most of my programming in JavaScript in
[TS]
01:23:13
◼
►
in PL sequel for oracle and plz quiver
[TS]
01:23:17
◼
►
for postgres like just because pearl is
[TS]
01:23:21
◼
►
the language i know best and and like
[TS]
01:23:23
◼
►
the most doesn't mean to that's where I
[TS]
01:23:25
◼
►
send the majority amount of time so i
[TS]
01:23:27
◼
►
think all programmers these days are
[TS]
01:23:29
◼
►
sort of multi-language you see you have
[TS]
01:23:32
◼
►
to be I mean it's a CSS canis language
[TS]
01:23:34
◼
►
certainly JavaScript I was like you
[TS]
01:23:35
◼
►
can't just be a programmer in one
[TS]
01:23:37
◼
►
particular language so I don't think I'm
[TS]
01:23:38
◼
►
like am i leaving parole and I spend
[TS]
01:23:40
◼
►
three months writing JavaScript know
[TS]
01:23:42
◼
►
like have I left it I don't know I don't
[TS]
01:23:45
◼
►
really know what that means if you're
[TS]
01:23:46
◼
►
asking if there's a language I like
[TS]
01:23:47
◼
►
better than pearl like I think I think
[TS]
01:23:49
◼
►
what he's trying to say is your
[TS]
01:23:53
◼
►
programming language of choice is pearl
[TS]
01:23:55
◼
►
what would it take for your programming
[TS]
01:23:57
◼
►
language of choice to not be pearl to be
[TS]
01:23:59
◼
►
something you need a language that I
[TS]
01:24:01
◼
►
like better than / like do I like Ruby
[TS]
01:24:02
◼
►
better than Pearl no I don't like I look
[TS]
01:24:03
◼
►
that's the problem the problem with
[TS]
01:24:05
◼
►
pearls I think I said in previous shows
[TS]
01:24:06
◼
►
when I look at other languages like
[TS]
01:24:07
◼
►
Python and Ruby and stuff like that like
[TS]
01:24:09
◼
►
in Ruby I see a language that should
[TS]
01:24:11
◼
►
have learned more from pearl but didn't
[TS]
01:24:13
◼
►
uh like making the same mistakes to
[TS]
01:24:15
◼
►
pearl made which sounds crazy it's like
[TS]
01:24:17
◼
►
well but pearl already made those
[TS]
01:24:19
◼
►
mistakes so like why you know why you
[TS]
01:24:21
◼
►
sticking with the language that you're
[TS]
01:24:22
◼
►
acknowledging has mistakes it's like
[TS]
01:24:23
◼
►
well I'm not gonna leave for another one
[TS]
01:24:25
◼
►
unless I think it's learned everything
[TS]
01:24:26
◼
►
there is to learn from pearl and it's
[TS]
01:24:28
◼
►
not made those mistakes in Python
[TS]
01:24:29
◼
►
is like philosophically different as
[TS]
01:24:31
◼
►
like a different style and flavor and
[TS]
01:24:32
◼
►
that it's you know very different from
[TS]
01:24:34
◼
►
so the Pearl culture and that's not like
[TS]
01:24:37
◼
►
the way that's not the kind of culture I
[TS]
01:24:38
◼
►
like JavaScript well now I don't you
[TS]
01:24:41
◼
►
know it's not I don't I don't dislike
[TS]
01:24:43
◼
►
JavaScript for the reasons that that
[TS]
01:24:45
◼
►
most people who dislike javascript is
[TS]
01:24:46
◼
►
like it again I just like it you know
[TS]
01:24:48
◼
►
not because the DOM is ugly not because
[TS]
01:24:50
◼
►
working with browsers is knowing all
[TS]
01:24:52
◼
►
those things are true but like as a
[TS]
01:24:53
◼
►
language just so feature poor and
[TS]
01:24:56
◼
►
limited and oversimplified and things
[TS]
01:25:00
◼
►
that should be simple or complicated and
[TS]
01:25:01
◼
►
just you know that like the reason
[TS]
01:25:03
◼
►
CoffeeScript exists is because people
[TS]
01:25:05
◼
►
who are programming language kind of
[TS]
01:25:08
◼
►
service don't like JavaScript it's not a
[TS]
01:25:09
◼
►
great language we like what you can do
[TS]
01:25:11
◼
►
with it we like the fact that there as
[TS]
01:25:12
◼
►
fast engines you can run all sorts of
[TS]
01:25:14
◼
►
these reasons but as language not great
[TS]
01:25:16
◼
►
so so far there is not a language out
[TS]
01:25:18
◼
►
there that I like better than pearl and
[TS]
01:25:21
◼
►
what it would take for me to leave pearl
[TS]
01:25:22
◼
►
for another language in that sense would
[TS]
01:25:24
◼
►
be for me to see a language that I say
[TS]
01:25:26
◼
►
this language is more fun for me to work
[TS]
01:25:29
◼
►
with the pearl it doesn't mean the
[TS]
01:25:30
◼
►
language is better just means I like it
[TS]
01:25:32
◼
►
better that's so far that it's not
[TS]
01:25:33
◼
►
happened I think I name goes to the
[TS]
01:25:37
◼
►
contenders there's some other one
[TS]
01:25:38
◼
►
forgetting that people want to hear me
[TS]
01:25:39
◼
►
express express my distaste for I can do
[TS]
01:25:42
◼
►
that but Chris shock asks if you've ever
[TS]
01:25:46
◼
►
resorted to programming in Python uh I
[TS]
01:25:49
◼
►
think I have a couple of scripts that I
[TS]
01:25:52
◼
►
have hacked-up that are written in
[TS]
01:25:53
◼
►
Python I don't think I've ever started a
[TS]
01:25:55
◼
►
script script from scratch and Python
[TS]
01:25:56
◼
►
like I mean I Twitter backup script is

01:32:15
◼

newspaper and that must have been
[TS]
01:32:16
◼
►
difficult to pull off but in this modern
[TS]
01:32:18
◼
►
age you know going up to Jason Snelling

you know one of my major and eight skill
[TS]
01:34:10
◼

was the ability to figure out what's
[TS]
01:34:14
◼

wrong with things a lot of it has to do
[TS]
01:34:17
◼
►
with you know having that sort of
[TS]
01:34:20
◼
►
disposition but also growing up in a
[TS]
01:34:22
◼
►
house you know my family is Italian and
[TS]
01:34:24
◼
►
we would yell at each other and argue it
[TS]
01:34:26
◼
►
at the dinner table about everything so
[TS]
01:34:29
◼
►
if you're in like I don't know you see
[TS]
01:34:32
◼
►
you see the parodies of different types
[TS]
01:34:33
◼
►
of American families on television one
[TS]
01:34:35
◼
►
of the stereotypes is sort of the waspey
[TS]
01:34:38
◼
►
Protestant family having Thanksgiving
[TS]
01:34:39
◼
►
dinner very nicely and you know they
[TS]
01:34:41
◼
►
carve the turkey near in quietly so this
[TS]
01:34:43
◼
►
is wonderful mom and they eat them
[TS]
01:34:44
◼
►
whatever and the other stereotype is the
[TS]
01:34:46
◼
►
giant Italian family yelling at each
[TS]
01:34:48
◼
►
other over Thanksgiving there that was
[TS]
01:34:49
◼
►
right that way not in a bet you know
[TS]
01:34:51
◼
►
people see that like it depending on
[TS]
01:34:53
◼
►
where you're coming from you like you're
[TS]
01:34:54
◼
►
repulsed by that and I think it's awful
[TS]
01:34:56
◼
►
they all hate each other but if you're
[TS]
01:34:57
◼
►
from that tandem environment it makes
[TS]
01:34:59
◼
►
you it makes its heart warming and so
[TS]
01:35:01
◼
►
that's the environment I came from the
[TS]
01:35:02
◼
►
time where everyone's yelling at each
[TS]
01:35:04
◼
►
other over the table and arguing about
[TS]
01:35:05
◼
►
things constantly and if you want to
[TS]
01:35:07
◼
►
participate in that environment you
[TS]
01:35:09
◼
►
better be able to you know if you want
[TS]
01:35:11
◼
►
to be at the grown-up table you better
[TS]
01:35:12
◼
►
be able to argue with the grown-ups
[TS]
01:35:14
◼
►
about whatever it is that they're
[TS]
01:35:15
◼
►
talking about so I think that helped a
[TS]
01:35:18
◼
►
lot and also probably just being a nerd
[TS]
01:35:21
◼
►
and you know if you can't if you can't
[TS]
01:35:24
◼
►
excel in the areas but we're nerds tend
[TS]
01:35:26
◼
►
not to excel at least maybe you can
[TS]
01:35:28
◼
►
argue them into the ground I don't know
[TS]
01:35:31
◼
►
I just I'm pulling for anything here but
[TS]
01:35:33
◼
►
that that I think explains it's mostly
[TS]
01:35:36
◼
►
mostly innate and then combined with the
[TS]
01:35:39
◼
►
environment Kevin Connor Connor k do you
[TS]
01:35:43
◼
►
invert your view of your vertical look
[TS]
01:35:45
◼
►
access and to have strong feelings about
[TS]
01:35:47
◼
►
customized controls in general FPS or a
[TS]
01:35:50
◼
►
third person uh he doesn't say but I'm
[TS]
01:35:54
◼
►
going to assume FPS he's in the chat
[TS]
01:35:58
◼
►
room so and he should be paying
[TS]
01:35:59
◼
►
attention description well it's his
[TS]
01:36:00
◼
►
questionnaire so f BS no invert I don't
[TS]
01:36:04
◼
►
understand how people do inverted why
[TS]
01:36:05
◼
►
and the first person game it's crazy to
[TS]
01:36:08
◼
►
me Conor Casey says both yeah I suppose
[TS]
01:36:11
◼
►
you kind of like reverse scrolling in
[TS]
01:36:13
◼
►
line like you could probably get used to
[TS]
01:36:15
◼
►
it it's definitely where all those
[TS]
01:36:15
◼
►
things that will flip on you uh but it
[TS]
01:36:18
◼
►
doesn't mean it's not crazy like a good
[TS]
01:36:19
◼
►
example I've recently been telling my
[TS]
01:36:21
◼
►
son about this to try to teach him about
[TS]
01:36:23
◼
►
the wonders of the human mind but like
[TS]
01:36:24
◼
►
you know those uh I was telling him that
[TS]
01:36:26
◼
►
the image on the back of his retinas
[TS]
01:36:27
◼
►
displayed upside down because it lends
[TS]
01:36:29
◼
►
in his eye but doesn't look upside down
[TS]
01:36:31
◼
►
to you as your brain you know just
[TS]
01:36:32
◼
►
interprets it the right way right yeah
[TS]
01:36:33
◼
►
uh so they have glasses that you can put
[TS]
01:36:36
◼
►
on in front of your eyes are goggles or
[TS]
01:36:37
◼
►
whatever they will flip everything
[TS]
01:36:38
◼
►
around again so everything looks upside
[TS]
01:36:40
◼
►
down to you and you put them on you like
[TS]
01:36:42
◼
►
oh how I'm gonna walk around with these
[TS]
01:36:43
◼
►
glasses this Young's on the floor the
[TS]
01:36:44
◼
►
floors on the ceiling everything that
[TS]
01:36:45
◼
►
side down it's crazy but if you walk
[TS]
01:36:47
◼
►
around with them for a day your brain
[TS]
01:36:49
◼
►
will just and everything will look fine
[TS]
01:36:50
◼
►
so wait a minute wait a minute you
[TS]
01:36:52
◼
►
you're saying that everything will look
[TS]
01:36:54
◼
►
right side up again to you or your brain
[TS]
01:36:59
◼
►
will Justin will look normal to you it's
[TS]
01:37:00
◼
►
kind of like when you put on like ski
[TS]
01:37:01
◼
►
goggles and everything's yellow for a
[TS]
01:37:03
◼
►
little while but then eventually just
[TS]
01:37:03
◼
►
looks normal let me take them off
[TS]
01:37:05
◼
►
everything looks weird so if you put on
[TS]
01:37:06
◼
►
glasses that flip it vertically flip
[TS]
01:37:08
◼
►
everything that you see you will bump
[TS]
01:37:11
◼
►
into things for a little while but after
[TS]
01:37:12
◼
►
about a day you'll be used to it if you
[TS]
01:37:14
◼
►
don't take them off and your brain will
[TS]
01:37:15
◼
►
basically adjust uh-huh what was that
[TS]
01:37:18
◼
►
with you oh so the verge of Y axis so
[TS]
01:37:20
◼
►
the inverted scrolling and inverted axes
[TS]
01:37:22
◼
►
are similar like even lesser cases of
[TS]
01:37:25
◼
►
this where you would get used to it but
[TS]
01:37:26
◼
►
no I do not like inverted why in third
[TS]
01:37:28
◼
►
person this drives me nuts because I can
[TS]
01:37:30
◼
►
never remember what the hell my
[TS]
01:37:31
◼
►
preferences are so like examples are in
[TS]
01:37:32
◼
►
like myth the bungee game where you had
[TS]
01:37:35
◼
►
a camera control you will swivel you
[TS]
01:37:37
◼
►
would orbit your camera around your your
[TS]
01:37:39
◼
►
men or even things like you know just
[TS]
01:37:41
◼
►
like journey or something where's the
[TS]
01:37:42
◼
►
third person camera there is a way that
[TS]
01:37:45
◼
►
my brain works best in terms of like
[TS]
01:37:47
◼
►
you do if you want the camera to rotate
[TS]
01:37:49
◼
►
counterclockwise around the thing that
[TS]
01:37:51
◼
►
you're looking at do you press to the
[TS]
01:37:53
◼
►
left already oppressed to the right and
[TS]
01:37:55
◼

[TS]
01:37:58
◼
►
when it's the wrong one and then i
[TS]
01:37:59
◼
►
inverted I go that's much better you

01:38:02
◼
►
know Mario 64 smell exemplar America
[TS]
01:38:04
◼
►

[TS]
01:38:09
◼
►
controls America sunshine for the camera

[TS]
01:38:11
◼
►
like I can never remember you know what
[TS]
01:38:13
◼
►
uh the thing about third person is like
[TS]
01:38:16
◼
►
when I want the camera to look up at the
[TS]
01:38:19
◼
►
sky do I pull back like I'm like I'm
[TS]
01:38:20
◼

01:40:34
◼

us prop three of us of similar ages pick
[TS]
01:40:37
◼

the very same best Mac of all time and
[TS]
01:40:39
◼
►
that is and continues to be my favorite
[TS]
01:40:41
◼
►
thing that Apple has ever made that's
[TS]
01:40:43
◼
►
the mac se 30 which most people see me
[TS]
01:40:45
◼
►
that show probably don't know what it is
[TS]
01:40:46
◼

but if you want to like there are space

01:40:49
◼

limitations in Macworld so I can only
[TS]
01:40:51
◼

write like 200 words about it but I
[TS]
01:40:52
◼

could have written like 3000 I'll try to
[TS]
01:40:55
◼
►
find a link for the show notes to that
[TS]
01:40:57
◼

particular story on Mac world's new
[TS]
01:40:58
◼
►
website I think you should love it moved
[TS]
01:41:00
◼
►
around but the gist of it is that the
[TS]
01:41:02
◼
►
Macintosh originally was that little
[TS]
01:41:03
◼
►
computer that most people should know it
[TS]
01:41:06
◼
►
looks like like a little vertical thing
[TS]
01:41:07
◼
►
with little nine inch CRT stuck in the
[TS]
01:41:09
◼
►
front of them poppy drive in the front
[TS]
01:41:11
◼
►
it looks kind of like a mouth looks like
[TS]
01:41:12
◼
►
a little person have you ever seen the
[TS]
01:41:14
◼
►
banana junior from bloom County that's
[TS]
01:41:16
◼
►
what it's based on that's what that's
[TS]
01:41:18
◼
►
what the Mac was in the beginning and
[TS]
01:41:20
◼
►
they came with the mac plus and the mac
[TS]
01:41:21
◼
►
SE all same form factor different
[TS]
01:41:23
◼
►
details about the surface features but
[TS]
01:41:24
◼
►
more or less the vertical little thing
[TS]
01:41:26
◼
►
and then the mac to came out and it was
[TS]
01:41:28
◼
►
more like a pc slab type thing and then
[TS]
01:41:30
◼
►
Mac start bearing from that point on
[TS]
01:41:32
◼
►
both to the Mac from the beginning was
[TS]
01:41:33
◼
►
that vertical thing on the Mac se 30 was
[TS]
01:41:36
◼
►
basically a Mac 2x which is the big
[TS]
01:41:39
◼
►
powerful machine shoved into the little
[TS]
01:41:42
◼
►
big powerful color machine shoved into
[TS]
01:41:44
◼
►
the little original black and white kind
[TS]
01:41:45
◼
►
of case like that form factor and so it
[TS]
01:41:48
◼
►
was small and look like an original mac
[TS]
01:41:50
◼
►
but had the internals of what was then
[TS]
01:41:52
◼
►
apple's fastest computer you could buy
[TS]
01:41:54
◼
►
and that was kind of like I think the
[TS]
01:41:56
◼
►
analogy is in the macworld thing was
[TS]
01:41:58
◼
►
like you know putting a Ferrari v8
[TS]
01:42:01
◼
►
engine into into a Honda Civic like it
[TS]
01:42:03
◼
►
was this little compact little package
[TS]
01:42:05
◼
►
that a regular person could afford kind
[TS]
01:42:07
◼
►
of it was like 40 300 bucks in like
[TS]
01:42:09
◼
►
nineteen eighty-seven so ok maybe not
[TS]
01:42:10
◼
►
you know so it was very few people cry
[TS]
01:42:13
◼
►
for it's still less than the mac
[TS]
01:42:14
◼
►
because I had to buy a monitor with two
[TS]
01:42:16
◼
►
in the monitor was like 800 bucks or
[TS]
01:42:17
◼
►
some crazy you know so it in a small
[TS]
01:42:20
◼
►
package that I could fit on my desk
[TS]
01:42:21
◼
►
right on top of my stack of existing
[TS]
01:42:23
◼
►
hard drives with the exactly a footprint
[TS]
01:42:24
◼
►
but inside that was like you know speed
[TS]
01:42:27
◼
►
demon engine and and like I think I said
[TS]
01:42:29
◼

01:47:04
◼
►
toaster but I don't want a slot toaster

[TS]
01:47:26
◼

second attempt what do you see the
[TS]
01:47:29
◼
►
future of iCloud being given there are
[TS]
01:47:33
◼
►
still huge problems i'm editing this as
[TS]
01:47:36
◼
►
i go with Doc and core data syncing
[TS]
01:47:38
◼
►
after two years if you try they go keep
[TS]
01:47:41
◼
►
plugging away at it uh I think I cloud
[TS]
01:47:43
◼
►
is probably the last embarrassing rename
[TS]
01:47:46
◼
►
because it is past some threshold
[TS]
01:47:49
◼
►
probably pass some threads like you know
[TS]
01:47:52
◼
►
that again getting by through northeast
[TS]
01:47:54
◼
►
stuff what was it was it Bell Atlantic
[TS]
01:47:55
◼
►
there was there was ma belle and then
[TS]
01:47:59
◼
►
there was Bell Atlantic which is my name
[TS]
01:48:00
◼
►
one of the smaller things when they
[TS]
01:48:02
◼
►
broke up 18t and i forget what bell
[TS]
01:48:05
◼
►
atlantic change too but like phone
[TS]
01:48:06
◼
►
companies back then and still to this
[TS]
01:48:08
◼
►
day kept changing their name because the
[TS]
01:48:10
◼
►
old phone company would have such an
[TS]
01:48:11
◼
►
incredibly terrible reputation because
[TS]
01:48:12
◼
►
everyone hated bell atlantic and they
[TS]
01:48:14
◼
►
changed or whatever they change it to
[TS]
01:48:15
◼
►
like that's how things like verizon and
[TS]
01:48:17
◼
►
singular came to exist because those are
[TS]
01:48:20
◼
►
new names for old things there they had
[TS]
01:48:22
◼
►
to keep changing the name over and over
[TS]
01:48:23
◼
►
again because people just hated with the
[TS]
01:48:26
◼
►
passion and then you know now people
[TS]
01:48:27
◼
►
hate like eighteen t or verizon or
[TS]
01:48:29
◼
►
whatever it may be those companies had
[TS]
01:48:30
◼
►
to change the names to that is like you
[TS]
01:48:33
◼
►
don't want to be in that cycle and
[TS]
01:48:34
◼
►
apples in that cycle does online
[TS]
01:48:35
◼
►
services nobody was you know I guess I
[TS]
01:48:37
◼
►
tool so it's free whatever you know fine
[TS]
01:48:39
◼
►
dot Mac did not have a good reputation
[TS]
01:48:41
◼
►
mobileme did not have a good reputation
[TS]
01:48:43
◼
►
so they had to keep changing the name to
[TS]
01:48:44
◼
►
say no no seriously it's going to be
[TS]
01:48:46
◼
►
good this time and to prove it I'll bail
[TS]
01:48:48
◼
►
then take a 9x yeah 9x was another one
[TS]
01:48:50
◼
►
gte yeah someone the chatroom says bell
[TS]
01:48:53
◼
►
atlantic plus 9x plus dt equals what
[TS]
01:48:55
◼
►
is now Verizon uh anyway you don't want
[TS]
01:48:58
◼
►
help comcast xfinity oh yeah comcastic
[TS]
01:49:01
◼
►
uh so for iCloud I'm hoping this is the
[TS]
01:49:04
◼
►
last big green name that I cloud passes
[TS]
01:49:08
◼
►
some minimum thresholds for non
[TS]
01:49:09
◼
►
suckitude that they can just simply
[TS]
01:49:11
◼
►
improve iCloud and it needs to be
[TS]
01:49:13
◼
►
improved and every we all know what the
[TS]
01:49:14
◼
►
problems are uh the problem with Apple
[TS]
01:49:18
◼
►
secrecy is they never beyond saying that
[TS]
01:49:21
◼
►
now the cloud is the center instead of
[TS]
01:49:22
◼
►
the digital hub they never articulate
[TS]
01:49:24
◼
►
their philosophy of like we have they're
[TS]
01:49:25
◼
►
just kind of tea leaf read of like why
[TS]
01:49:27
◼
►
is it that each application it gets its
[TS]
01:49:28
◼
►
own container well I guess it's simpler
[TS]
01:49:30
◼
►
but then how are they gonna share data
[TS]
01:49:31
◼
►
well I think sharing is not that
[TS]
01:49:32
◼
►
important you could do everything you're
[TS]
01:49:33
◼
►
in the apps or maybe email like we're
[TS]
01:49:35
◼
►
just trying to figure out what is it
[TS]
01:49:36
◼
►
that you think you're doing and part of
[TS]
01:49:38
◼
►
it is like imagine that there's some
[TS]
01:49:40
◼
►
master plan maybe there isn't and the
[TS]
01:49:42
◼
►
other product is just maybe their plan
[TS]
01:49:44
◼
►
is stupid and doesn't doesn't reflect
[TS]
01:49:46
◼
►
the needs of their customers but I think
[TS]
01:49:49
◼
►
they'll keep plugging away at it I think
[TS]
01:49:51
◼
►
that even within the current broken
[TS]
01:49:53
◼
►
paradigm of these little independent
[TS]
01:49:55
◼
►
silos and everything they can't even get
[TS]
01:49:56
◼
►
that to work right I get that to be
[TS]
01:49:58
◼
►
reliable fast predictable and maybe then
[TS]
01:50:01
◼
►
or maybe in parallel also worried about
[TS]
01:50:02
◼
►
what you're gonna do but boring stuff
[TS]
01:50:05
◼
►
like implementation competence is does
[TS]
01:50:07
◼
►
it perform well does it do what you say
[TS]
01:50:09
◼
►
it's going to do even if what you say
[TS]
01:50:11
◼
►
its gonna do is stupid you have to at
[TS]
01:50:13
◼
►
least you know get competent because
[TS]
01:50:14
◼
►
then what happens if you come up with a
[TS]
01:50:16
◼
►
grand new plan oh no wait guys I have a
[TS]
01:50:18
◼
►
way to do it that's simple and let's
[TS]
01:50:20
◼
►
allow sharing and is multifamily
[TS]
01:50:22
◼
►
multi-person savvy within a family and
[TS]
01:50:25
◼
►
it's just great if you can't get it to
[TS]
01:50:26
◼
►
work it doesn't matter if your idea is
[TS]
01:50:28
◼
►
better so I think they need to focus on
[TS]
01:50:30
◼
►
execution and also come up with a better
[TS]
01:50:32
◼
►
idea and I think they will keep plugging
[TS]
01:50:34
◼
►
away at because I cloud does is so much
[TS]
01:50:37
◼
►
better than mobile me and all those
[TS]
01:50:38
◼
►
other things am it's more on the right
[TS]
01:50:40
◼
►
track so there Alex I think I've there's
[TS]
01:50:43
◼
►
