The House of Zuminov

A few weeks back I set up buy orders for all the skill books I was going to need for my "Traders" account. Most of these, with a couple of exceptions, and significantly below market cost might I add. Off the back of this, I took the plunge and created my third EVE account.
I toyed around with a couple of ideas for names, but ultimately decided that I wanted to have a common family name for all my traders to provide a little consistency. My wife suggested the name "Zuminov" (which she's used variations of in other games) and we agreed that it had a good ring to it. I'm not sure exactly how the lore works regarding the Zuminovs being spread across the various factions of New Eden but they are, so deal with it.
And so, without further ado, I present to you The House of Zuminov:
Dimitri Zuminov
Amarr – Ni-Kunni – Free Merchants
Dimitri was the first character to be created on the account. I've worked through the new player tutorial and the career agent missions in all three rookie systems.
I took things at a pretty leisurely pace for the first system as I reminded myself what was needed and got faster as I went. I admit I totally cheated for the most part… I flew Jhiqui up to Amarr space in a Corax fitted with missiles and just blew up all the rats while Dimitri looted.
Progress wise; I've finished training all the ship skills I wanted and have remapped to a Charisma build to train trade skills. So far he's up to 53 market orders with support skills to three or four across the board.
Dimitri is going to base out of Amarr. I gave him an initial 50m ISK cash injection which I've doubled already mainly by buying skillbooks & implants and shipping these back to Amarr to resell. He has a fitted & rigged Executioner to facilitate rapid movement around the local area and will also be issued with a Bestower when he has the need for it. I'm also thinking I'll pick up a Magnate and run some level 2 distribution missions to get his Emperor Family faction up a little as I can do this "afk".
Anastasia Zuminov
Gallente – Jin-Mei – Sang Do Caste
Anastasia is going to be based out of Dodixie and will have an Atron, Iteron III and probably an Imicus for the same reasons as Dimitri.
So far I've completed the tutorial and done the first couple of Exploration missions in the first career agent system. I know that I don't really need to do these but they have the benefit that they give a decent initial standing boost for fairly minimal effort.
Her training queue is currently on hold until Dimitri reaches the end of phase one. This is where the limitation of only one character per account being able to train at a time is somewhat unfortunate as it would be really good to get two characters up to speed faster. Still, these are the rules within which one must work.
Alexei Zuminov
Minmatar – Sebiestor – Rebels
I have literally zero experience with Minmatar, their ships or their space beyond a few hauling runs I did from Jita to Rens back when I first started out.
Despite this, I'm aware that Hek is one of the fastest growing trading hubs in New Eden and that I should be able to make a reasonable return on investment by setting up shop here. Given that Hek isn't as close to the Minmatar starter systems as Amarr & Dodixie are to theirs I'm expecting that I'll either need to haul stuff in to sell or focus on station trading. For this reason, Alexei will be the last character on the account to be trained as I have the least experience in these areas. I'm considering starting him out in Rens and moving to Hek once I get a little more established but I have a while to decide exactly what I want to do on this front.
So, the grand experiment has begun. Given that I'm 10 days in and have made around 80m ISK on a single low skilled character I'm hopeful that I should be able to fund at least this account from PLEX by the time the initial 90 days ends. Stay tuned!

Welcome back, everybody, to another episode of GoTime. Today's episode is number 76. On the show today we have myself, Erik St. Martin; Carlisia Pinto is also here...
Hi, everybody.
And Brian Ketelsen...
And our guest for today is Matt Jaffee, who works for Pilosa, working on an open source distributed index... Is that the best way to describe it, Matt?
That's as good as I've heard.
Let's first step into maybe a little bit of background about you and your history in Go, and then we'll jump into what Pilosa is and what makes it interesting.
Sure. I started playing with Go in early 2015; I joined this company called Umbel, here in Austin, Texas, and a critical piece of their infrastructure was something that they've developed in-house called Pilosa, and it was written in Go. When I first started learning about it, I thought it was about the coolest thing I'd ever been close to in my career, so I immediately decided to start playing with Go. Then I quickly became very enamored with the language, and my colleagues will tell you I started pushing it every chance I could get internally.
So I led the platform team inside Umbel for about a year and a half before we spun out Pilosa as a separate company, and have been working on that ever since.
[00:03:51.27] That's awesome. Tell us a little bit about Pilosa itself. I know it's a distributed index, but there's some properties about it that kind of make it unique, and then we'll talk about why Go, and why Go is a good fit, and maybe even some of the points that you struggle with.
But also tell us what a distributed index is, because not everybody might now...
Sure, sure. So you take a database and it really has two parts - it's got storage, and then it's got indexing, which is basically there to speed up different queries... So with Pilosa, what we've done -- and we didn't really decide to do this initially; we just had a very specific problem that we needed to solve, but sort of after the fact we realized that what we'd done is taken the index part out of the database and made it a standalone piece of software.
So you store data in Pilosa, but it's really just bits of knowledge that encode relationships in data that you use to speed up queries.
So one differentiating factor is, like you said, it's not embedded within the database... But also, typical indexes are kind of stored as binary trees, and things like that, and from my understanding at Pilosa it's a bitmap index.
That's correct... Yeah, B-trees and binary trees and such are very popular structures for indexes, and if that had worked to sort of solve our original problem, we probably would have never built Pilosa... But the problems that we were having at Umbel were high cardinality segmentation of, you know, when you have millions or hundreds of millions of possible attributes across hundreds of millions of items, and you wanna drill down to very specific or very complex segments of those things.
B-tree indexing starts to fall apart, but bitmap indexing can be very good, so it's my highly biased opinion that bitmap indexes are a highly under-used data structure.
What's a good use case...? Would you say something like faceted search is a good use case for a bitmap index over using a B-tree?
Well, tell me what exactly you mean by faceted search? I'm not familiar with that term...
Faceted search would be creating like a taxonomy of your data and searching on multiple filters at once, so different properties... Let's use, say, a booking engine or something for hotels - you want it to have a pool, and this, and that, and you're kind of looking for these individual features that are... A lot of them, I guess, could be boolean, right?
Yeah, that's excellent, actually, and we've talked several times about the e-commerce use case, where you're looking for a certain item - maybe it's a TV, and you're drilling down, you want a certain size and a certain resolution, in a certain price range... And that is really a slam dunk use case for a bitmap index, especially because it's powering a UI that is very sensitive to latency. If you have a consumer who's digging through something, they don't wanna wait a full second or two seconds for their query to finish; it's more engaging if they have to wait 50 milliseconds.
I have a confession to make... I got my start in big data way back in the day, 1990-something at a company called Omnidex, and they did the same thing, but it was in C and C++. It was a lot harder to install and maintain than Pilosa looks, I can tell you that... But the same concept - bitmap indexes on data, with covered indexes, and most of the queries could be resolved without even touching the data itself. It would be covered by the indexes.
[00:08:13.01] I'm wondering if you have any sort of numbers... So being able to scale the storage independently of the indexing system seems like it should be a slam dunk decision, it should scale a lot better... Do you have numbers to compare data storages combined with indexing, which is some regular, normal, bread and butter relational database, versus separating those two?
I think that the importance of the index isn't so much storage, it's that a lot of times when you're searching for data in a database, and even in a distributed database, you have to touch multiple machines or seek too many places on disk to find the data to see whether it applies... So by having indexes, you can limit the amount of data that you need to go out and fetch from wherever it's stored.
Yeah, that's a good point, too. I would say that that's a different use case, but I think those are two different use cases, and you can have the need for both, right? And I am sure there are other use cases probably?
Yeah, Carlisia makes a really good point, actually, and I do have sort of rough numbers I can share. We are incredibly delinquent on making some big benchmarking blog post, but typically when you ingest data into Pilosa, the amount of memory or disk space that's taken up in Pilosa is about one-tenth the original data size, and it depends heavily on the cardinality of the data, and what fields you're indexing, and all that. But in order of magnitude, decrease is pretty typical.
Yeah, well I wouldn't be surprised... And how about complexity of -- we actually just had this discussion with a different guest, different system... The complexity of installing and maintaining this, compared to just one thing, a relational database where everything is there?
There is definitely overhead when you think about having to maintain more than one system, right? I think the guest you're probably referring to is CockroachDB...
I mean, wow, that is a fantastic system. I actually would love to do some benchmarks against them at some point... But I think Pilosa - our thesis is that an independent, standalone index is gonna be an important part of the technology stack in the future, and we see really cool use cases where somebody just has a whole bunch of big blobs in S3... Maybe they're JSON, maybe they've CSV, whatever it is, and really the only option for querying -- these cloud providers, big query type solutions where you're paying per query and it can get quite expensive... Whereas if you could just index that data in something without moving all of it into another database - you could potentially get extremely good query performance while still having it be very consistent and very durable wherever it is.
That's actually a really interesting use case I hadn't thought of... If you already have data being stored somewhere that isn't necessarily a database that has its own indexing mechanisms...
[00:11:50.29] That's kind of the power of the standalone index - you don't even have to index flat files or database records; you can index your mailbox, you can index anything that you have data retrieval access to, and it makes for a lot of power that you normally wouldn't see in a regular database, because you're only communicating with the index, not communicating with the data store.
Yeah, and let's not forget what powers all the big search engines on the web. Nobody really talks about it, but they're basically giant standalone indexes.
Yeah, that's a very good point.
And fast, too.
It's kind of mind-blowing when you think about how fast search engines are, and the amount of data that they have access to...
That's a good segue into performance in Go... How have you found keeping high-performance in your system with indexes and developing this in Go - what kind of stumbling blocks have you found? What kind of interesting tidbits do you have to share for high speed Go development?
So my first tidbit is to join the Performance channel on the Gopher Slack, because there are some really, really good people in there... But as far as our personal experience, Go has been amazing. I don't think that we are good enough developers to build this in C or C++. I think we would have failed, because the build/compile cycles, and the memory management and all that stuff - I think you just get bogged down... Whereas with Go, we can have a lot of that taken care of for us; the type system helps us a lot, interfaces, all this nice, fancy, modern language stuff... But it also gives you the escape patches you need when you need to get down and really have super high performance on logical operations on bitmaps.
We employ unsafe in very low quantities, exactly where we need it, to get that performance and to keep memory off-heap, so that the garbage collector is not bothered by the bulk of the allocations... And you can end up with a really nice hybrid where you get the low-level performance advantages of being able to play with memory, but also a lot of the type safety and garbage collection and all those nice, high-level features.
Do you have to do a lot of work for performance tuning to make the queries faster? Are you doing a lot of profiling of the garbage collector and things of that nature? ...escape analysis, and things.
We have done a lot, and I think we will make time for a lot more. Honestly, for a lot of use cases right now performance isn't a huge issue anymore. I hope we'll find some that really drive us to get down into the millisecond or sub-millisecond latencies... But right now it has an HTTP, kind of REST-like interface, which I'm sure if we just sort of got rid of that and used gRPC or something, we could cut off a few milliseconds right there off our baseline response time.
We've definitely had several sort of deep hackathons on profiling and finding places where we had easy wins, basically... But there's definitely a lot more to do there, and Go's tooling keeps evolving. The tracer and all the different profiling types you can do... I think we've scratched the surface - maybe scratched it pretty deeply - but we certainly haven't broken through into all of what's possible.
[00:16:08.29] In discussions through e-mail before you came on the show you had mentioned too that part of the reason that Go was such a great fit - at least for building a distributed tool - was that you were able to cut out external dependencies like Zookeeper...
Yeah. You know, Go has a lot of good libraries, and a culture of making things pretty tightly packaged and not pulling in lots of dependencies into your projects, and we're trying to sort of follow that culture in Pilosa, and also it's been a great help to us to be able to pull in libraries to do things like cluster membership... And because of Go's concurrency model, it's easy to sort of have that running in the background in the same process, without really blocking anything or affecting latency of queries or anything like that.
Yeah, it's amazing how much mileage we're getting out of the Raft and membership libraries... It's almost like they're the bedrock of an entirely new generation of distributed apps.
Yeah, these really hard problems are almost becoming commoditized now.
Yeah, and between some of the tooling, we see Kubernetes and these libraries for embedding distributed things into your application - distributed consensus protocols and membership protocols, and... What's the one I'm looking for...? Gossip, and things like that. It's really amazing people are actually doing that stuff in Go, and Go almost seems like the language any new distributed systems tool is written in, where I guess Java and potentially C and C++ kind of held that ground for generations...
So let's talk about exciting stuff that you want to do or would do if given the time, in Go... What fascinates you outside working on your distributed database?
Let's see, outside of Pilosa... I think there's a lot of cool opportunity in the Go Build and the AST packages, where you can sort of get really easy prepared access to modifying Go programs and analyzing Go programs. I think that's an area where Go's strict adherence to simplicity is going to allow people - and it already has allowed people to build really great tooling... But I would love to do very project-specific tooling...
Even though Go has Gofmt and a lot of really good culture in idioms, every project tends to come up with its own little ways of doing things, and to be able to enforce those in a tool, rather than spending time, reviewer's time in pull requests and stuff, is a really great thing. I think that Go's support for that kind of tooling is in a place where it's probably worth the time to invest in it.
I was wondering the other day whether you could take the AST rewriting and rewrite combined with the compiler, so you'd almost have like a hot spot JVM, but for Go... I don't know enough about all the low-level bits, but it's just occurred to me that we're almost there in terms of tooling...
[00:20:14.29] Yeah, and that's such an interesting point, because there are a lot of really big databases that basically compile your -- not your queries, but the query plan or the query execution on the fly, for performance reasons. Go just kind of got plugins a little bit -- we looked at that briefly, because there's so much you can do when you have data in a very processable format, like you do in a database or an index... And being able to bring processing to that data, complex processing, which has typically been the realm of complex query languages, like SQL... But to be able to do that in code and ship that code to the cluster, rather than shipping the data to the code, I think there's a lot of opportunities for distributed algorithms running on indexed data in the cluster, at scale. They could open up a lot of opportunities.
I hadn't thought about that in a database context. I know MemSQL does that now - they compile your SQL statements down to pre-compiled SQL that they ship out to each of the nodes... That would be interesting from a Go perspective, because you could almost build a SQL executor that's smarter than just running SQL. You could build the membership and the awareness into the actual pre-compiled SQL statement.
I'm gonna have to play with that, I'm gonna have to think about that a little bit. That's kind of mind-blowing for me.
I guess the hacky way that you could do it is just a call out to the Go compiler, and then run a new binary with exec... [laughs]
Yeah, that's kind of what I was thinking. You precompile your SQL statements, and they're just another binary, but the binary has built into it the ability to send the query results back to whatever is collecting them. You just build that all in.
Yeah, so you almost have like a runtime for distributed data processing which you would wrap around your compiled query.
Right. I'm gonna go build that, I'll be back.
Okay. We'll wait.
Can we get some jeopardy music...? [laughter]
I'm just gonna import two or three libraries and I'll be done, right?
Pretty close.
So first up, there is a new Go conference called Go Northwest that I just saw, that's at McCaw Hall in Seattle, at the end of July. That's gonorthwest.io. It looks like it's a community-driven conference, it's $100 to get in... They haven't released speakers, but they have their CFP open.
Nice. I didn't look at the website yet... Is it exactly at the end of July? Oh, it's the 30th... So that's gonna be really close with GopherCon UK now. I wanna say GopherCon UK is like first, second and third of August, so that's gonna be tight.
I just wanna say I love this initiative. I think we should have one-day conferences like that around the country, around the world... Just like a local -- get everybody from the region. One day doesn't require big commitments, doesn't require huge organization.
We need to have one like this in San Diego.
Yeah, I'd love to see more regional events pop up all over the country, like one day... But when I say one day, one-day conferences, not like "I'd like to see them pop up one day..." Well, that too... [laughter]
That's good to clarify...
Preferably today.
Right...? Yesterday... Well, then I would have missed it, but... In Florida. Somebody do one in Florida.
I just wanted to give a shout-out to all the organizers. You guys are awesome!
Yeah, and organizers of meetups.
Brian and I have been terrible meetup organizers.
Yeah, we should just resign, because between running the conference and our day jobs, we're not doing a good job of our meetup. Slackers...
Yeah, coming up with topics and stuff is always hard. So I don't know if anybody else saw this post, but I got really excited... As people who listen often (regular listeners) might know, Brian and I love messing with hardware and pretending like we know what we're doing, and I saw this post - it's part one of a series called Go on very small hardware." This person took a small STM 32 Cortex M0 processor and wrote software using something called Emgo, which appears to be a subset of the Go language... But I will fully admit that I have not got a chance to play with this, and I really want to, just because that's what I've always been torn on... Brian and I play with the Raspberry Pi's, and ODROIDs, and...
Yeah, anything that will run full Linux, so we can program in Go. But then I also like playing with the small ARM processors and things that Go does not run on. So I'm really excited to be able to try to merge those worlds...
Now I have a -- I think I sent pictures out over Twitter, of this embedded board that has a small touchscreen LCD, and it has a Cortex M4 on it that I've been waiting to mess with our barbecue stuff on, and I was gonna have to do it in C and C++, but now I may have to play with Emgo.
[00:28:09.28] Yeah.
Although I have the feeling that I will have to write a lot of my own direct memory access stuff for the screen if I want it to work...
Yeah, that stuff is really cool. I'm really into mechanical keyboards, and there's all this really good open source firmware, but if you wanna hack on it, it's all in C, and keyboard controllers are super-low memory, like 32k... No way you're putting the Go runtime on that. But the possibility of doing a keyboard firmware in something like Emgo I think would be really cool.
Yeah, and this hardware is 16 kb of flash and only 4 kb of RAM it was running on, to give you an idea of how small...
Oh, wow...
I've gotta read that article now. That's impressive.
Yeah, I'll drop a link to it in the GoTime channel... But I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of this series and getting some time to play with that.
Nice. Our barbecue is getting upgraded...
Right...? And in Go. That makes it even more exciting. I wanted to use that low-level hardware to not have to have a full Linux machine running for it, but I really wanted to do it in Go, because I'm really into Go. I could do it in C, but I don't want to.
Speaking of the barbecue rig, I may have to get new hardware for mine, because it stayed out in a rainstorm the other day, and it's not looking pretty. It's a good thing I just got that new Raspberry Pi 3 B+, or whatever the latest Pi is... I got a new one, so I might have to replace it. Stupid Florida rain...
Yeah, the rain ruins everything. So another cool project I came across, because I think it was last night Damian Gryski was signal-boosting something, and was talking about NVIDIA's CUDA and Go... So there is a package gorgonia.org/cu that is a CUDA driver for Go, and I think they're looking for help and things to evolve this more. I guess it was a few years ago I started trying to play with CUDA. I wish I was better at it... But this looks awesome. Now I have more reason to do it, because again, I don't have to do it in C, I can do it in Go.
Boy, that library is huge. Low level too. Yeah, I remember when we were playing with CUDA, we were trying to build a database with GPU's. Back when we thought we could do anything...
That's very dear to my heart, not only because Pilosa I think could benefit massively from processing bitmaps on GPU's - it's just such an obvious application - but I've done CUDA in the past at a previous job, and I was writing in this software to inspect network traffic on the GPU, so trying to do like 10 gig pattern matching, and stuff... And it's super fun, but again, the build cycle and the bugs that you run into can be really frustrating when it's not Go.
Yeah... Truth. So I ran across a project that I got super excited about; I'm embarrassed about how excited I got about this project... It's gotop, and it's at github.com/cjbassi/gotop. It's really just top, but written in Go, and it's written in one of those nice text UI libraries, so you get pretty boxes and graphs... It's prettier that htop, and it's got nice-moving text graphs on it. It makes me happy. So yeah, gotop, if you like watching the blinking lights. I'll put a picture in Slack and tweet it, because it's so pretty.
[00:32:23.24] That looks totally rad.
And while we're talking about distributed databases, dqlite is one that I came across too, which basically takes SQLite and turns it into a distributed SQLite cluster. I have not played with it yet, but I think that's cool.
You know what's awesome about dqlite? One of my favorite under-represented projects is LXD, from Canonical and Ubuntu... And the dqlite came out of their new feature that supports distributed LXD clusters; they've got this automatic clustering feature now in LXD, and I can't wait to try that too, because LXD is awesome, and having a cluster of them almost gives you a different spin on the whole, like, Docker swarm kind of feel... So I wanna play with it, because I like LXD. And it was Canonical that came out with that dqlite, for the purpose of bringing that distributed clustering to LXD.
Nice, I didn't know the history of it.
Now you do.
Where's our sound effects board? We need like the "The more you know...doo dee doo..."
That's right. I'm here for you.
Hey Matt, I believe we were promised jokes...
That's right...
Well, no, no, no... There was a promise I would be funny, but there was no explicit promise of jokes... [laughter]
Well, that was implied, so...
I don't know, I guess -- if somebody asks you for a joke, you never have one ready, do you...?
Yeah, and I always wonder if they're appropriate for the occasion... It's like, the one I can remember at that moment in time is not appropriate to the time at all.
Alright, I dropped a screenshot of gotop in our Slack, and I'll put it on Twitter too, because we don't wanna exclude people who are in our Slack...
What other interesting news did we have? Oh, I wanted to mention Micro. My favorite microservice framework, Micro, is now supportable on Patreon. If you go to patreon.com/microhq... They just announced that this morning, and I was the first supporter. Hurray, I love my Patreon! So go out there and support Micro if, like me, you love an easy way to make really powerful distributed microservices systems with very little bit of code... Micro is the way to do that. Go support them.
You know what would be really cool...? You know how some companies like Microsoft will match you when you donate to non-profits? How cool would it be to have companies match your donation to Patreon?
I love that whole idea!
Let's make that a thing.
Let's do that. I'm making a note and I'm putting that in my to-do list. Matching Patreon. Alright, it's in. I'll e-mail Satya today and see what I can get.
Just call him up on the phone. You've got his number, right?
[00:36:07.04] Alright. So if we don't have any more projects and news, one of the things we like to do every week is give a shout-out to an open source project and/or maintainers... And this does not have to be Go, but just to make sure that we're showing love. We can do that in verbal form, giving shout-outs, or through Patreon... Who wants to go first for #FreeSoftwareFriday?
I do, I do, I do! Pick me, pick me, pick me...
Alright, you go first.
Alright, so this is kind of meta, and it makes me so happy - there is a project on GitHub called All-contributors, and it's under kentcdodds/all-contributors on GitHub. It's a really neat way to recognize all the people who have contributed to your project beyond code. So you can recognize code contributors too, but... You have to go into the repo to really see it. It gives you a really pretty chart that shows you who's contributed to the project and in what way... And those ways might be things like answering questions on the forums, or promoting the project on Twitter, or writing documentation... So it's a great way to recognize the whole community that makes your project thrive, as opposed to just the people contributing code... And I love it so much I wanna adopt it for all my open source stuff.
I absolutely love this, it's great.
Isn't it awesome?
It's awesome... And it looks great, too.
It does!
You've got a table with people's picture... Not just a list of names.
Exactly, it looks pretty, and it gives you a way to say hello to everybody and thanks to all the people who are doing the hard work. I'll post a link to that in Slack.
How about you, Carlisia?
I want to give a shout-out to Francesc Campoy and his JustForFunc project - the video production, and especially the io.Pipes episode. Figuring out how to use io Pipes correctly and when to close things can be a bit mind-boggling, and he does a great job walking you through different scenarios. That's a great episode, and I'm very grateful that I had that to watch when I needed it... And JustForFunc in general I think is becoming - for me at least - a go-to place, like "Oh, I wanna figure out how this works. Maybe JustForFunc will have an episode on that." And it's like, "Yeah, it does."
You know, Carlisia, I don't want you to think that I'm making fun of your accent, but when you say JustForFunc, that's not what I hear... And that just kind of makes me smile.
What do you hear?
I hear something that doesn't sound like Func...
Just for Fun?
I think Brian hears something vulgar, because he wants to hear something vulgar... [laughs]
Not because I want to, no...
When we stop recording, you're gonna have to tell me... [laughs]
I will. I'll say it off-air.
I can't even imagine... [laughter]
I'm terrible.
And Matt, I know we're kind of hitting you out of the blue, so feel free to say no, but if you have anybody you wanna give a shout-out to... It doesn't have to be a Go project or a maintainer.
Actually, as soon as you guys started talking about this, I quickly wrecked my brain and went searching... But Carlisia saying JustForFunc reminded me of the way I feel about all the talks that Liz Rice has given.
Oh, my god...
[00:40:10.13] If you haven't seen any of those... She has one on Syscalls that I saw at GopherCon. It was just amazing the depth that she went into about how you can play with them in Go, and she's done stuff on ptrace and containers, and you always kind of come away with this feeling of zen-like understanding of what's going on in the operating system. It's really cool.
And she does it all off the cuff, too. I had to follow her at -- was it Golang UK last year...? And I was so mad, I was like "How the hell do you follow somebody who just goes up there and live-codes syscalls in Go on the spot, without even preparing for it?" I can't follow that. That's why I had to put on a wig at GopherCon Russia.
[laughs] I've seen her talks too, and I have to say, she makes it look so easy... Like, "You just do this, it's simple." She doesn't say that, but she just goes over it in such a clear and direct and concise manner, and you think "Oh my gosh, this is so simple", but it's obviously not. She has a gift.
She's one of my favorite speakers, she's really good.
Yeah, her and Julia Evans too, with all of the little cartoons she draws on how things work...
The performance cartoons? I love those.
Yeah... And I don't know how many people have seen the talk she did at StrangeLoop, I think it was like three or four years ago... It was something like How to be a kernel hacker or "You can be a kernel hacker." This is, I think, in C, but she explains how syscalls work and how you can make your own.
She's @b0rk on Twitter, right?
Okay. Yeah, go follow her, because she just tweets the most awesome, smart stuff.
Yeah, everything that comes out of her feed is really good knowledge, and super approachable.
I've got some stickers of her "How Kubernetes works" on my desk over here... I love that stuff. So my #FreeSoftwareFriday for today - I gave away a little bit when I talked about the Go on very small hardware... I really hate trying to say names, because I feel like I'm gonna butcher them, but Michal Derkacz... I'm so bad with names... But anyway, he is ziutek on GitHub, and that is who created the Emgo project that we just talked about.
I love him for that right now, because I'm excited to play with that, but I also love him in the past, because he wrote the Mymysql library, which I used the crap out of in my early days of Go, doing MySQL stuff. Is it still the most popular MySQL driver? Does anybody know? I haven't done MySQL in a while in Go.
I don't know the answer to that. That's a good question. I've only done Postgres for the last many years.
I use Michal's Telnet driver to turn on and off my TV. I think we talked about that on one episode, didn't we?
Oh yeah, yeah.
[00:43:56.12] I have a Go program that turns on and off my TV from the command line, and it's because it's got a freakin' open Telnet port... But I'll never tell you what port it is, because you guys can't control my TV.
Nmap... [laughs]
Good luck getting in.
Nmap will tell me. [laughter] You do realize who you're talking to, right?
Yeah, come on over... And you have my Wi-Fi password; we're in trouble.
Exactly... [laughter]
Actually, speaking of Nmap, there was a project that was recently rewritten in Go called Bettercap, which is basically sort of an Nmap clone, or a network Swiss army knife kind of thing.
Yeah, I was really excited about that. I mentioned it a couple of episodes ago... But I'm actually really excited about seeing a lot of infosec tools written in Go these days. I've seen some clones or advancements in things like DirBuster and things like that written in Go.
I know a couple people who are pen testers too that have been using Go for their scripts and stuff like that, and for exploits... Kind of moving away from doing it in Python, and things like that.
There have been a couple of viruses found in the wild written in Go, haven't there?
That's kind of how you know you've made it as a language. [laughter]
Yeah, that's not so good.
I mean, arguably, you could use Bettercap on that stuff, right? There's another framework that has a bunch of stuff -- no, Bettercap is the one I'm thinking of, because it's got some Wi-Fi snooping, password sniffing and things like that already built into it. So you could basically just write a virus and use that to sniff out the stuff you need.
But speaking of the Mymysql thing, keep me informed... I'm actually really curious what people who are using MySQL in Go - what library they're using today for that. I wanna stay informed.
Alright, did anybody have any other shout-outs before we call this show complete?
Not for me.
Not for me.
I'm good.
Alright. Well, thanks so much for coming on, Matt. This was a lot of fun.
Thank you so much for having me, it's an honor.
And thank you Brian and Carlisia, as always, for being amazing.
Thank you, you're so generous...

he third film from pop-music-obsessed director Baz Luhrmann tweaks the conventions of the musical genre by mixing a period romance with anachronistic dialogue and songs in the style of his previous Romeo+Juliet (1996). Ewan McGregor stars as Christian, who leaves behind his bourgeois father during the French belle époque of the late 1890s to seek his fortunes in the bohemian underworld of Montmartre, Paris. Christian meets the absinthe- and alcohol-addicted artist Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (John Leguizamo), who introduces him to a world of sex, drugs, music, theater, and the scandalous dance known as the cancan, all at the Moulin Rouge, a decadent dance hall, brothel, and theater that's the brainchild of Harold Zidler (Jim Broadbent). Christian also meets and falls into a tragically doomed romance with the courtesan Satine (Nicole Kidman), who becomes the star of the play he's writing, which parallels the couple's romance and utilizes rock music from a century later, including songs by Nirvana, Madonna, the Beatles, and Queen, among others. Loosely based on the opera Orpheus in the Underworld, Moulin Rouge was shown in competition at the 2001 Cannes Film Festival. ~ Karl Williams, Rovi

The barbershop chorus strikes up the band to honor the birthday of their octegenerian director.
Tenor Dean Berry of Fort Lauderdale, tenor Marvin Vanausdall of Deerfield Beach, tenor Don Allen of Pembroke Pines and bass Peter Chiarelli of Plantation were among the clan of singers who gathered to celebrate the 85th birthday of Goodwill Blenders director Lou Shonty of Hollywood.
``He`s (Shonty) been in the group for many years,`` Berry said. ``He`s an old song and dance man from the vaudeville era who is an excellent director.``
The Goodwill Blenders are the oldest barbershop/singing group in South Florida, according to Berry.
``We`re an elite bunch of guys,`` Berry said. ``In order to get into the Goodwill Blenders must be at least 60 years of age. It works out well -- we`re just a bunch of old codgers who meet every Friday to sing for charity.``
The Blenders are available to perform at any function and all contributions are donated to the Institute of Logopetics in Wichita, Kan.
``The institute is for speech defects and we`ve selected it as our charity,`` said Berry. ``We sing that they might speak.``
Area shoppers and city residents will be asked to contribute a ``few coppers`` to City of Hope volunteers on Sunday, March 9, in recognition of Hope Sunday.
City of Hope is a pilot medical research center established to research cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer`s disease, leukemia, and other serious illnesses. Volunteers will be canvassing door to door and will be located at area shopping plaza`s soliciting donations.

Full Menu
Three classical premieres followed by a jazz bash for Britain's most prolific crossover-composer: thus does the Nash Ensemble celebrate the 75th birthday of one of its most successful sons. Where would British music have been without the Nash? Artistically poorer, for since its foundation in 1964, this world-beating ensemble has commissioned 160 new works, including major ones by Elliot Carter, Harrison Birtwistle, Mark-Anthony Turnage, plus a catalogue of other now-prominent composers.
This concert opened with Debussy's 'Syrinx' for solo flute, a miniature which gently took on the argument from his more famous flute solo in the 'Prelude a l'apres-midi'. This segued straight into Richard Rodney Bennett's 'Sonata for flute, viola, and harp' which had been inspired by 'Syrinx': flautist Philippa Davies led the way through its gracefully expanding sound-world.
The first premiere was Simon Holt's 'The Torturer's Horse for string sextet'. Its title refers to an Auden poem, and its import is 'how real, tragic events are happening all around us, but normal life carries on regardless'; it also came with a note that Holt had been inspired by Poussin's 'Landscape with a man killed by a snake'. That may have fired his imagination, but the resultant music's internal drama - all clashing colours and textures - needed no such external crutch.
Then came premieres from two new-music veterans, both in spirited form. David Matthews had dedicated his 'Horn Quintet for horn and string quartet' to his mentor Nicholas Maw, but the mellow warmth of its slow movement was closer to Bartok; horn-player Richard Watkins - with his cellist brother Paul at his side - brought a pliant virtuosity to the fast movement.
Michael Berkeley's 'Three Rilke Sonnets' came with a commentary informing us that 'recent hearing problems' had led him to 'a more economic use of notes', but his music has benefited enormously from this constriction. Soprano Claire Booth was the superb soloist, her lead being followed in turn by viola, harp, horn, and bass flute: faithfully illuminating Rilke's ethereal and allusive poetry, Berkeley's brightly-coloured work sounded like a new-minted classic.
After a Turnage song-cycle which works no better now than it did when first unveiled, it was party time, with Richard Rodney Bennett and his old friend Claire Martin giving us Gershwin, Cole Porter et al. Bravo.

Golf is a lot harder than it looks. It takes brains, focus, toughness, physical prowess, and a lot of patience. A LOT. No seriously, it does. If you don't respect golf, then you will likely change your mind after perusing these following 9 ladies who are taking the game by storm. They are getting the job done via spectacular fitness and raw talent for the sport. And yes, they happen to be physically stunning in nature. Let's review…click to view video.
Gorgeous Korean Golf Star Shin Ae Ahn
Ahn would win again on tour just a few weeks later. After a 4th in her next event, she played the rain shortened High One Resort SBS Charity Women's Open. Like at her first win, she shot a great final round score to seize the lead. This time, she wound up in a playoff with Hyun Hee Moon, but won that on the first playoff hole.
In all, Shin Ae had 8 top tens in 2010 and finished third on the KLPGA money list.
Shin Ae had a much worse season in Korea in 2011. She had a 2nd place finish at the Nefs Masterpiece and a 3rd at the season ending ADT-Caps; but she only had three total top tens, and finished 22nd on the money list. Still, she was far from forgotten: the fans voted her Most Fashionable Player at the season ending KLPGA Awards Show. Continue reading

Rory McIlroy takes on a Robot and Tiger Woods is in Love
Rory McIlroy keeps trying to break his clubs
Rory McIlroy continued his recent slump at the Irish Open in Maynooth, Ireland, as the second ranked golfer in the world missed the cut by two strokes. Despite shooting an even-par 72 on Friday, McIlroy couldn't make up for his 74 in the opening round, resulting in his third consecutive missed cut on the European Tour. McIlroy also continued his streak of trying to break his clubs, bending his driver over his back after an errant tee shot at No. 11.
You may remember Rory wasn't too happy in the final round of the U.S. Open at Merion Golf Club, and destroyed a Nike iron. Continue reading

How To Perfect Your Golf Swing Video
1. Keep Your Hands Low Limiting the height of the follow through will effectively reduce the height of your shots. The lower the hands, the lower the ballflight. Moving the ball back in your stance or choosing a stronger club and trying to swing easy are other ways to accomplish the same thing, but they're less reliable and more difficult to execute. Instead, keep your hands low in the finish (compare the two photos at right), and the trajectory of your shots will be lower. Continue reading

We are installing a custom rolloff callback with FMOD_System_Set3DRolloffCallback
We are seeing that if we call FMOD_System_PlaySound more than once for the same FMOD_SOUND object (i.e. to play multiple instances of the same sound at once) we only get the custom rolloff callback called for the channel object that was most recently created. The other instances do not pass through the custom callback at all.
What we see in our audio log is a call to FMOD_System_PlaySound for the first instance (which in the test run returns a channel value of 0FF60025) then we see a call to FMOD_Channel_Set3DAttributes, then FMOD_Channel_Set3DMinMaxDistance then FMOD_Channel_SetPaused to start the sound playing.
Then another call to FMOD_Channel_Set3DAttributes to update the position followed by a call to our callback (which returns 0 as is correct for the way our custom falloff algorithm works).
Then after that we see another call to FMOD_System_PlaySound for the same FMOD_SOUND object (which in the test run returns a channel value of 0FF60029). Then for that channel we see a call to FMOD_Channel_Set3DAttributes, then FMOD_Channel_Set3DMinMaxDistance then FMOD_Channel_SetPaused to start the sound playing. Then another call to FMOD_Channel_Set3DAttributes to update the position followed by a call to our callback (which also returns 0 as is correct for the way our custom falloff algorithm works).
Then we see repeated calls to FMOD_Channel_Set3DAttributes for the first channel then FMOD_Channel_Set3DAttributes for the second channel (the sound in question is the engine sound for a vehicle object and hence its moving all the time, also it is set to loop infinitely) followed by a call to our callback for the second channel only.
Is there something special we have to do to get it to call our callback for all playing instances of a given FMOD_SOUND?
We are using version 1.04.05 of FMOD Studio Programmers API on Windows.
I have been reading the documentation including that for set3DRolloffCallback and FMOD_3D_ROLLOFF_CALLBACK (such little as exists for that) and cant find anything that would indicate we are doing anything wrong.
- Jonathan Wilson asked 4 years ago
- last edited 4 years ago
The reasons playing a sound may stop a previous channel playing that sound
- The sound is created as a stream.
- The sound has the FMOD_UNIQUE flag set on it
- The sound is part of a SoundGroup that has a maxAudible value set.
I rigged up a simple test where all the "create sound" calls in our engine are switched off except for 2 copies of the 1 test sound.
http://pastebin.com/NYE4EbXz is a log of all the fmod calls our audio system makes when running the test.
What I am seeing is that when our callback is called later (e.g. line 553 in the log) FMOD_Channel_IsPlaying for the second channel (0x0FFE0009) returns 1 but FMOD_Channel_IsPlaying for the first channel (0x0FFE0005) return 0.
We are not calling any pause or stop commands that would cause the first channel to stop, nor do we see any errors from FMOD (errors would be caught with our logging)
Is there something we are doing that is causing the first channel to stop playing?
Do we need to create separate FMOD_SOUND objects for each instance of the sound that is playing at once? (and if so is there an easy way to tell if a given FMOD_SOUND object is playing and therefore we need to create a new one?) Is there something else we need to do?
- Jonathan Wilson answered 4 years ago
- last edited 4 years ago
Thank you, that is exactly the information I needed, checking our system it turns out the sound in question is played as a stream.
- Jonathan Wilson answered 4 years ago
Even if you call Channel_Set3DAttributes, the rolloff callback won't be called unless the channel or listener position actually changes between System_Update calls, .
You could also verify the channel is still playing using the Channel_IsPlaying function.

I am writing this post as a big smiling shout out to my friends Fran and Rachel from Portobello Parties www.portobelloparties.com for the following reasons:
1. For having immaculate style and choosing to channel that into a fantastic little clothes business that brings Portobello designers to my (your) door.
2. For being my friends and living round the corner for when at the last minute I realise I need to look nice for something.
3. For knowing what will suit me despite my angst-ridden protestations.
A week and a half ago I suddenly realised that besides being excited to be going to the BAFTA's to support the two nominations for Homeland, that I would actually have to wear something nice when I got there. PP came to the rescue as always, at the last minute, with suggestions for me about how to do black tie as effortlessly as possible.
With husband away and childcare thin on the ground and all the other non-glamorous aspects of my behind-the-scenes life, I knew I wouldn't have time to stare in the mirror and doubt myself while wearing any kind of long, grown up or ostentatious dress.
Fran suggested a fantastic bottle green faux leather mini with scalloped hem that she had on the rails, which, coupled with black posh tights and my favourite high heeled shoe boots would let me go rock chick but appropriate. My colleagues and companions for the night were a tall effortlessly chic blonde woman with Viking roots, and a handsome gay man comfortable wherever you drop him. I knew that he would be taking photos and streaming us live from the cab, carpet and reception and that our shit hot MarComs back at Keshet would send those images "out there". So while I did feel a little bit White Swan as the material squashed down my ample boobage, I trusted my PP stylists and took the plunge.
Cut to Sunday afternoon, kids and dog deposited with family allowing me an hour to get ready, there I was, striding happily down the red carpet, in the drizzling rain. I felt very chic in my dress, Vintage tux jacket from the mother in law, awesome vintage Chanel drawstring bag from sister in law and a dash of smoky eye and red lippy from me.
Here is a glimpse of the dress that the PP girls knew would be perfect for me and the occasion. In it you will see my boss looking as he says "quite powerful like a movie mogul, with me his glamorous starlet a pace behind".
I have let him get away with this hilarious channeling of Hollywood sexism because he also said I looked very Siouxsie Sioux. Plus I secretly like the idea, as I near the grand age of 41, of being any kind of "-let".
So thanks PP friends who allowed me to sit pretty while watching Olivia Colman be charming and funny, Graham Norton be primetime naughty and Romola Garai talk about her vaginal stitches.
My husband hopes that I win one of those lovely bronze faces one day, which may or may not come to pass, but either way I know I'll have my outfit sorted if it does.

'Battlestar's' Helfer inks deal with Fox
Empty"Battlestar Galactica" co-star Tricia Helfer has inked a talent holding deal with Fox Broadcasting.
Under the one-year pact, the actress will star in a series project for the network, probably a drama.
Fox head of casting Marcia Shulman first spotted model-turned-actress Helfer on Sci Fi Channel's hit series, where she plays the beautiful but dangerous Cylon Number Six.
Last season, Fox cast Helfer in Jonathan Mostow's drama pilot "Them."
"After we saw the pilot, we were wowed by her," Shulman said.
Shulman then went to the Toronto International Film Festival, where she saw Canadian-born Helfer in the indie "Walk All Over Me."
"She was so incredible in it," Shulman said. "She had a pretty remarkable range, she showed vulnerability and strength. She is a star."
"Walk," in which Helfer stars opposite Leelee Sobieski, is being released in the U.S. by the Weinstein Co.
Helfer, who can be seen in the final season of "Galactica," is managed by Gilbertson Entertainment.

Is there any other season that tugs at your heart strings more than Christmastime? Those days of yore when the family gathered around the Christmas tree all a-twinkle with coloured lights and those vintage ornaments lending their sweet old-fashioned appeal to each branch. There was just something special about those days. Bells that tinkle and horns that toot are a-plenty now but when I was a girl they weren't so plentiful. Yet my mother had them on our tree.
My boyfriend, now Hubby, standing beside the seven foot Christmas tree at my parents' home. The walls were painted in my mother's favourite colour; aqua. I think every house we lived in had aqua walls in the living room. Sorry about the glare.
I wish I could zoom in on some of the old glass ornaments. They were in the most beautiful jewel tones; red, gold, turquoise, fuchsia, emerald green, and royal blue.
I wonder if I may transport you back to my Christmases as a girl?
As a child, we didn't have any more than the average family. I grew up mostly in rented houses and apartments but when Christmas came around, I felt like we were as wealthy as the royals.
The weeks leading up to Christmas were always busy with Christmas concerts and church festivities, my mother baking, and lots of secrets. My brother and I would have been mistaken for angels those few weeks leading up to the big day!
Mum and Daddy would trim the house before bringing in the fresh spruce tree. I can still remember the scent of fresh boughs hung over the doorways and windows sparkling with silver glass balls and icicles. Then there was the tree itself. Never was there a more beautiful tree! My mother had a gift for decorating and I always thought that our tree was the most beautiful in the neighbourhood.
Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer, which Daddy built and my mother painted, took his place of honour in the front window and when he was plugged in, his nose glowed bright red and all along the base were many coloured lights. To us kids, Rudolph was quite magical!
This little china deer was a gift from my mother many years ago. He comes out every Christmas and spends time on the window sill reminding me of the Rudolph in our window so many years ago.
We always had the best presents because Daddy worked as an accountant at a home and auto shop which also sold toys.
These little tykes build a snowman every Christmas on my window sill above the kitchen sink.
One magical Christmas when I was seven years old, my brother and I found the most adorable puppy next to the Christmas tree in his brand new dog house which Daddy had built. He was a blond and white pure bread cocker spaniel and he was the sweetest thing!
This pup belonged to our good friends but he could pass for our puppy's brother.
That was the best Christmas ever! We called the puppy Jingles.
This ceramic spaniel puppy was made by my son in High School which he gave to me. The pup reminds me of our puppy, Jingles.
After the gifts were opened we always had a big dinner. The turkey took center stage and all the fixings were spread out around the turkey on the festive tablecloth my mother would use that time of year. Of course everything was homemade in those days. The dressing, rich with onions and summer savoury, sweet and tart cranberry sauce, home made pickles and relish, and the wonderful savoury gravy. What a feast! Dessert was always mincemeat pie with whipped cream or plum pudding. My brother and I always enjoyed both!
In those days, Walt Disney had an afternoon special to watch on TV every Christmas Day. That is when my father would get down on the floor with my brother and me and watch the cartoons with us. He laughed and enjoyed them as much as we did. Lady and the Tramp, Chip and Dale, Mickey and Minnie Mouse, Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, etc. Walt Disney was the icing on the cake so to speak because we knew Daddy was going to enjoy the cartoons as much as we did. If the truth was known, he was just a big kid himself at Christmastime. Such warm memories of family times!
My Daddy is gone now and my mother is in a nursing home so Christmas is bittersweet at times. But my love for Christmas burns bright because of the legacy my parents left me.
When my children were growing up, I did my best to make Christmas magical for them.
Christmas '82
My middle son has the same love for the Holidays as his mom and his grandfather before him and he too becomes a little kid at Christmastime. His children are enjoying the benefits of Christmas magic passed from one generation to the next.
Christmastime is so very special to all of us because of the extraordinary Gift that was given over two thousand years ago.
So enjoy the music, the food, the decorations and the presents. Greet one another with kindness and extend good will to all men. And remember to thank Him for it all. For without Christ, there would be no Christmas!
Keeping Christmas in my heart all year round ~ Sandi

This book was very well written and the ending--although sad--was great.
The title simply means "Our Really Bad Luck" and it definitely matches the story. Reality is not always easy to face, but you need to face it, and that is precisely what Hazel did at the end. The conclusion really made it realistic.
This book truly deserves all the fame that it has gotten.
I highly recommend it to anyone who doesn't mind a sad ending.
- Lyla, 13
i agree it should be on there. it was a good book. i didn't find it particulrly sad though. i think because i read it expecting certain things to happen. i mean the main character has a terminal disease what did you think was going to happen. so i wasn't that suprised or said when it eventually did. it still was a nice book to read. there are some sexual references in the book
What do you think will happen to two teenagers who fall in love in a cancer support group? This is a story about being alive and being in love. It's funny, touching, and tragic but well-worth reading.
OMG!! This book had me crying so hard. Why Gus?! Everything about this story was amazing. It had me inspired with a love so strong that it made me weak in the end. This book had me in the cafeteria crying. I repetitively read the ending and cried on a friend's shoulder. The words that stay in my mind is "Okay". That word speaks so much in the book and brought up a lot. Its always going to be their forever and is still. Best book ever written!!
Two teens faced with the terrors of cancer are pushed together in an environment where life is at risk. On a trip to Amsterdam they realize how madly in love with each other they are. This book will keep you up all night and the ending will leave your heart beating and your cheeks wet.
Reviewed by Eliza, a Teen Library Council member
This story is a fantastic representation of the teenage mind, and includes a well-written tragedy. John Green has succeeded again, in my opinion.
The book is easier to read than expected. It is about a teenage girl who falls in love with a boy from her support group. At the end, it is very sad.
Book Review for School:
The Fault in Our Stars by John Green is about a girl who goes on this incredible adventure despite her having cancer. She meets this boy who lost a good chunk of one of his legs that was replaced by a fake. Her friend went blind. But the adventure has her and the boy she met going to Amsterdam to meet their favorite author to get answers, but was disappointed by him because he was an alcoholic. The boy asked the author by letter, once they were home, to come give the girl her answers as his last wish, because the leg thing, resulted in full body cancer causing the boy to die later on. I would suggest this book to any teen due to some of the language. A little kid could read this, just see if there was a cleaner version of the book. I give this book 4 1/2 stars because I didn't feel as much emotion as one would usually feel.
I got the book for christmas and read it in 3 days. Most amazing book. Very sad, i cried through the last 5 chapters. recommend highly!!!!!!!!!

NoticesAdd Notices
Sexual Content: opens with discussion of how an adult deals (or doesn't) with having lost both testicles to testicular cancer. A touch on the cheek is charged with sexual energy. How will Hazel kiss if she can hardly breathe? She sets boundaries on her and Gus's sexual interractions. He understands, respects and accepts them. Sex in this relationship is as honest, healthy and appreciative as it as it can be.
Sexual Content: Lots of kissing and one s** scene, not suitable for everyone
Frightening or Intense Scenes: Intense when some characters get critically sick.
Coarse Language: Nothing too vulgar, some f-bombs here and there.
Sexual Content: One sex scene, not too intensely detailed.
Other: Sad, might rip your heart out and stomp it on the dirt ground. But still worth the read, it's a beautiful story.
Coarse Language: some swearing but most teens will already be accustomed to that.

Deep Cover
A friend of mine and I were emailing about Robin Hobb's Six Duchies books, and she wrote about why she liked them:
Heroes aren't all good. Love alone doesn't conquer all. Women don't pine away and die. Even the annoying characters can grow up and become really interesting.
This is why I read. This is what I'm looking for. One of my favorite techniques used by writers to create this depth is what I'm calling "deep cover," after the Lawrence Fishburne movie where he went undercover to bust a drug ring and ends up so deep that he becomes one of them. He loses his old identity completely.
I love to see characters do this–pretend to be something they're not in order to achieve a goal, but by the time the goal has been achieved they've completely sold out and have turned inside out. Hopefully they come back to themselves, but sometimes they don't. Hobb and George RR Martin do this very well. I think it's a good story technique for achieving peripety–that hinge moment where a character stands or dies. When you've turned inside out, that can give you the perspective to see what was wrong with you all along, if that makes sense.
This post is being put up in honor the 525-page book I read for work this morning. It represented everything that is wrong with both publishing and the world today. I have one more to go for my weekend stack, another 500 pager that looks much more promising.

Velazquez on SBA Budget
Feb 27, 2013, 05:14 EST
WASHINGTON, Feb. 27, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Rep. Nydia M. Velazquez (D-NY), the Ranking Democrat of the House Committee on Small Business, delivered the following statement at a markup today of the Committee's Views and Estimates:
"As we sit here, we are hours away from $85 billion in across-the-board budget cuts. In that light, I would suggest the SBA's budget offers a stark example of how reducing successful programs – some of which actually generate two dollars of tax revenue for every one we invest - is pennywise and pound foolish.
"Consideration of this year's views and estimates certainly comes at an odd time - before we have a proposed budget to examine. While submission of this document to the Budget Committee is an important aspect of the Committee's work, doing so without an actual budget to critique seems like a questionable exercise.
"Some parts of the Majority's views and estimates do make sense. For example, eliminating many unauthorized initiatives, or so-called 'pilot programs' is a wise move, especially given current fiscal constraints. Time and again, these initiatives have been found to be ineffective and costly. They divert valuable resources away from proven programs authorized by Congress. Pilot programs are simply a luxury the SBA can no longer afford.
"However, there are several areas of concerns with the Views and Estimates. First and foremost, eliminating funding for most Entrepreneurial Development programs is absolutely the wrong direction. Doing so would leave startups without support to succeed when we need those enterprises to grow and create jobs. Make no mistake –the ED programs need reform. However, drastic, across-the-board cuts, without a legislative fix, is as ill-conceived as the sequester.
"If the views went too far in terms of the ED program, they fall short in terms of small business contracting. For yet another year the government failed to meet its 23 percent small business goal, depriving small firms of $3.1 billion in contracting dollars. The solution proposed in the draft views is to reallocate funds and rely on the existing structure of PCRs and OSDBUs. This has not worked in a decade and there is no evidence suggesting it will work now. We should be exploring innovative ways to meet contracting goals, not maintaining the current, broken system that fails small businesses.
"Taken in its entirety, these views are a mixed bag. However, I think we all agree more must be done at SBA in terms of setting priorities. I look forward to working with the Chairman and all my colleagues to achieve this goal.
"The success of the American economy depends on small businesses accessing capital, receiving technical support, and securing federal contracting opportunities. We should continue supporting the SBA in delivering these services. However, accomplishing more with less requires the SBA to make changes, like recommitting itself to existing programs that actually work. Doing so will bring tangible benefits to small businesses and make sure taxpayers see a positive return on their investment."

Korean Skin Care Philosophy
The key to understanding Korean skin care philosophy is to understand the legacy behind it. Koreans have among the longest documented historical civilized legacies in the world, dating back to 8000 BC. Skin care interest is recorded in its earliest writings and the Donguibogam, an ancient medicinal text, has an entire section (the Tangaekpyeon) on preparation and use of herbal ingredients including many for skin concerns. As a result, Korean culture reflects a deep passion for prolonging skin's health and beauty, and this legacy has positioned it at the forefront of skin care technology.
Koreans exercise and cherish a multi-step skin care regimen focused cleanliness along with skin's brightness and overall lucidity. Much like a multi-course meal, each step is to be enjoyed and serve the overall experience. Koreans are experts at appreciating true quality and demand the most high-performing, luxury products. It is this combination of strict standards and ingenuity that drives their skin care products to be among the best in the world.
Today, Korea is the darling of East Asia. Lovingly referred to by Marie Claire as "the new France" of the skin care world, it is the international epicenter for skin care research, development and innovation. There is a sense among skin care experts worldwide that Korea's best products are a decade or more ahead of others in terms of market-relevant technological innovation.
Recent Korean skin care breakthroughs include the refinement and mass-marketing of BB cream, the use of elegant, natural brightening alternatives such as arbutin (instead of hydroquinone), the development of natural, mushroom-based emollient ingredients, new methods for preparing natural extracts, and the concept of gentle exfoliation – a uniquely Korean tenet. Skin care formulators in this corner of the world see little, if any, place for potent glycolic acid or other AHA exfoliants. Since the publishing of the Donguibogam more than 400 years ago, skin care philosophy here has advocated gentle, bio-compatible exfoliation. Today, the best Korean skin care products induce effective, gentle exfoliation through the artistic use of sulfur, herbal extracts, and refined physical exfoliants.
Amarte's innovative formulas fuse ancient, proven ingredients with modern, innovative skin care technology. Our formulas include many of the original ingredients recommended by the Donguibogam, including sulfur, mushrooms, and various botanical extracts. To optimize the use of these ingredients, we partner with Korea's Bio Regional Innovation Center - a leading government-sponsored laboratory that is focused exclusively on bio-organic materials. Products are formulated here and are tested, refined, and perfected in consultation with board certified dermatologist and president of Amarte, Dr. Craig Kraffert. The result is Amarte Skin Care - a uniquely luxurious and efficacious skin care brand that takes the very best of Korean skin care philosophy, technology, and creativity and synergizes it with Western dermatology expertise and sensibilities.
The dawning of Amarte's role as the leader of skin care innovation has arrived. The reputation generated by the highest quality Korean skin care products is spreading around the world. It's an exciting time for Amarte to be the leader in delivering the luxurious and efficacious skin care experiences that enhance this world-wide reputation for Korean skin care product excellence.
