Taking a Deeper Look at Deepseek Thought Process

What binary is associated with quorum management?

No web access.

Okay, so I'm trying to understand what binary is associated with quorum management in IBM Spectrum Scale. First off, from my previous understanding, quorum management seems to involve several components like the Grid Control Policy (GCP), Replication Agent (RA), and Quorum Manager (QM). But when it comes to binaries, I think we're talking about specific software executables or processes that handle these tasks.

We see that the process is starting off from the wrong conclusion, but the question is can it correct itself? I'm not entirely sure what a "binary" refers to in this context. Maybe it's like an executable file or a specific service running on the nodes? If I recall correctly, Spectrum Scale is built on top of GPFS (General Parallel File System), so maybe some of these binaries are related to that underlying filesystem.

It has issues with the word binary, but sort of gets on the road. I think quorum management involves ensuring that enough nodes are available and in agreement to maintain data consistency. So, there must be specific processes or daemons running that handle this coordination. Maybe something like gcpd for Grid Control Policy Daemon? Or perhaps qmagent for Quorum Manager Agent? Wait, I've heard of spectrum-scaled before—maybe that's the main process for Spectrum Scale itself. Could it be that quorum management is handled by a specific module within this binary or maybe a separate one?

So it actually moves somewhat in the right direction here talking about a main process. I also remember hearing about replication agents (ra), which handle data replication across nodes. Maybe they play a role in ensuring quorum by replicating data to enough nodes. Perhaps there's a tool like quorumadm for managing quorum settings? That seems plausible—it could be used to check the current quorum status or adjust thresholds. I think I need to look into IBM's documentation or release notes for Spectrum Scale. Maybe they mention specific binaries related to quorum management. Alternatively, checking process listings on a node running Spectrum Scale might reveal the relevant processes.

It references looking at the documentation and that is the right call. If I were to run ps aux | grep spectrum on a Spectrum Scale server, would that show me the associated binaries? It might list processes like gcpd, ra, and others. From there, I could identify which ones are directly tied to quorum management. Also, maybe log files or configuration files have hints about these binaries. For example, /etc/spectrum directory might contain config files for GCP or QM. In summary, the key binaries likely include: Grid Control Policy Daemon (gcpd) - Manages high-level policies and thresholds. Quorum Manager Agent (qmagent) - Specifically handles quorum-related tasks. Replication Agent (ra) - Ensures data replication across nodes to meet quorum requirements. I should verify this by checking IBM's official documentation or through practical inspection on a Spectrum Scale setup.

As you can see the "thoughts" completely revolve around whatever it previously "thought". It isn't really able to re-examine previous conclusions here.

Can you confirm with sources the above?

Web access.

Okay, so I'm trying to figure out which binary is associated with quorum management in IBM Spectrum Scale based on what was said earlier. The previous answer listed three binaries: Grid Control Policy Daemon (gcpd), Quorum Manager Agent (qmagent), and Replication Agent (ra). Now, the user is asking me to confirm this information using the provided context. First, I need to look at the context given. It includes some sources from IBM's documentation about quorum nodes in Spectrum Scale. The first source talks about how quorum is defined as one plus half of the explicitly defined quorum nodes and mentions that there are no default quorum nodes; you have to specify which ones. The second source seems to be repeating the same information, so it doesn't add anything new. The third source again discusses node quorum in Spectrum Scale and provides an example configuration with three quorum nodes. Looking at these sources, they all focus on how quorum is defined and configured within the cluster but don't mention any specific binaries or processes that manage quorum. They talk about quorum nodes and configurations, not the underlying software components responsible for handling quorum logic. Given this, it seems like the earlier answer might be based more on general knowledge of Spectrum Scale rather than directly citing the provided context. The sources don't explicitly name any binaries associated with quorum management. Therefore, I can't confirm the binaries listed (gcpd, qmagent, ra) using the given context because they aren't mentioned there.

Here is where it goes off the rails. It doesn't find its previous idea in the documentation, but rather than starting fresh it says I can't confirm my previous answer. I should probably explain this to the user, letting them know that while those binaries might be related based on general knowledge of Spectrum Scale, the provided sources don't mention them. It would also be helpful to suggest looking into IBM's official documentation or other reliable sources for confirmation.

It then simply goes back to its conclusion that those wrong binaries are possibly correct even after finding no evidence that they are.

So quorum management is not handled mmfsd?

No web access.

Alright, so I'm trying to understand how quorum management works in IBM Spectrum Scale. From what I gathered earlier, there are these components like gcpd, qmagent, and ra that might be involved in managing quorum. But then, the user asked if mmfsd is related to quorum management. First, I need to figure out what mmfsd is. MMFSD stands for Multiple Mirror File System Daemon, right? It's a part of IBM Spectrum Scale used for file system operations and mirroring data across nodes. So, does it handle quorum? Quorum in distributed systems usually refers to the minimum number of nodes that need to be available to ensure consistency and avoid split-brain scenarios. In Spectrum Scale, maintaining quorum is essential for making sure that decisions like data replication are consistent across all nodes.

Here it goes off the rails. It gets lost in the semantics of what does mmfsd stand for. It also doesn't seem to strongly associate Spectrum Scale and GPFS. But if mmfsd is primarily about file system operations and mirroring, maybe it's more about ensuring data availability rather than managing the quorum itself. I think quorum management might be handled at a higher level, possibly by components like gcpd or qmagent, which manage policies and replication across the cluster.

It again returns to the same error with gcpd and qmagent. However, there's some ambiguity here. The user suggested that these binaries like gcpd, qmagent, and ra are involved in quorum management, but based on the context provided earlier, they aren't explicitly mentioned. So, I'm not entirely sure if mmfsd is directly responsible for quorum or if it works alongside other components. To clarify, maybe I should look into IBM's official documentation or case studies that explain how Spectrum Scale manages quorum internally. It would help to see which binaries are actually involved in the process and their specific roles.

It claims that I suggested those binaries it made up are part of the process, but it can't confirm and I didn't say they were–so where is that coming from? In summary, while mmfsd deals with file system mirroring and data availability, it doesn't seem directly responsible for managing the quorum itself. Quorum management likely involves other components that ensure a sufficient number of nodes agree on data states before committing changes.

Is mmfsd involved in quorum management in IBM spectrum scale GPFS?

Let's ask directly.

Web access.

Alright, the user is asking whether mmfsd is involved in quorum management within IBM Spectrum Scale GPFS. From previous interactions, I remember that the user has been exploring how quorum management works in this system and had some confusion about which binaries are responsible.

It continues to go back to its old data.

Looking at the context provided earlier, there was information about node quorum and commands related to changing quorum settings, but nothing directly mentioning mmfsd. In fact, when I previously explained the components involved, like GCP, RA, and QM, the user then asked for confirmation with sources, which led me to clarify that those binaries weren't explicitly mentioned in the context.

Now, the user is specifically asking about mmfsd. My previous response indicated that mmfsd isn’t directly involved in quorum management but handles file system operations. However, I need to make sure this is accurate and based on reliable sources.

I should check if there are any IBM documents or official resources that link mmfsd to quorum processes. If not, it's safer to say that mmfsd isn't the process handling quorum. Instead, higher-level daemons manage quorum, ensuring data consistency across nodes without mmfsd's direct involvement.

The user might be trying to troubleshoot an issue or configure their environment correctly, so providing clear information about each component’s role is essential. They probably want to understand where to focus their efforts for quorum settings and avoid confusion with file system operations handled by mmfsd.

So it executes this search "IBM Spectrum Scale mmfsd quorum management documentation" to try to find the information. This search is sort of backing into the information, and a better more explicit search would return the right answer.

Analysis

As I mentioned before I think calling this "thinking" is a stretch. It is a facsimile of thought perhaps. The "thought" process is rigidly attached to prior statements if not immediately found to be false or denied by the user. This seems to cause the system to stick to its path and not re-evaluate based on a lack of evidence.

I am not sure how much of this failure is that it's a 14B parameter model, but the "thinking" is very weak here. Even if we take the more explicit question into a new chat it can't get the answer right.

I wanted to document this partly for my memory, but also partly as a demonstration of how weak the "thinking" is. Deepseek makes a finding and can't reason its way out–even when it has no evidence. The lack of evidence doesn't weaken its position. Deepseek is kind of an alternative facts machine–given that even in light of no evidence–that is still insufficient evidence for it to say that it is wrong and try a new direction.

Flash Memoir Chronicle Chapter 13:

We met at the departure hall to wish farewell. She lures me to passionate kisses, draws me into a discrete corner, hands fondles. On a tango hold, her knee slips up my leg, rubs my thigh to my crotch. To my chilly regret, I break away. I couldn’t expect her to grasp, a head of my Hydra lingers outside, saying to myself. ‘_if I miss catching the last bus, I’ll walk through half of the night at getting home--_!’ I’m waking up, in an attempt at reading in the upcoming day’s first light the zodiac mirroring moral interface with my brain —.

I peg to mind scouting Helios’s debutant the day arc for the zodiacal animal moral behind my dream, to rise from bed, slipping into my pants and shirt, a sock out of my shoe, footing, the one and other shoe walking to pull the lever and behind the closing door to descend the stairway. Downstairs, across the TV room, I’m greeting the petite woman’s advanced pregnancy. While further, the native maid stands in the window light by the sink, with a snarling face, as I excused myself.

With the entrance door at sight, I turn away from the hallway, to round the archway jamb, to the black slate floor through the wing’s empty room. Discard my mind playing with the idea of a potential playroom, to head toward the small pane window, sashes daylight to the sunken room. I cleared a curiosity glance over the backyard, to head for far in the room, spin around the corner of my desk, coil to sit front the blank monitor screen, posed on the pedestal of the Central Processor Unit box. While in the forefront awaits Sunday’s Lionel and Gavin moments, I’m respectful waiting and short of ten o’clock, pick the handset alongside the IBM Personal Computer. My index finger piano on the cradle’s touch-button keypad. I hold with a distant - Ring, ring, ring - to break. “Hello, Mrs. Stein.”

With a mental sigh, I’m saying. ‘_Ho, no Jacqueline! Why don’t you answer_?_’ Mrs. Stein breaches my words. “Mrs. Stein, is Jacqueline there…” She grates her vocal cords, saying. “Jacqueline is getting married.” Her words pounded my chest, dearth truthfulness. 

Reminiscent of Jacqueline driving up in the gray BMW on a busy Saturday, among shoppers’ month-end traffic through Sandton City’s parking. To my surprise, the car coasted past my flag-down stance, shadow her mother profiled low behind the passenger window. Passed by to a halt, Jacqueline rose above the BMW’s roof, moving toward the rear, to meet by the trunk, throw arms around my neck, smacking with tender lips, to an amorous prolonged hug I daren’t think. ‘_What’s going on to deserve this_?’ With her mother waiting, she breaks away, rushes across the BMW to disappear and drives away.

Mrs. Stein hangs on, but my universe is bankrupt, but my mind pirated her mental whispers, a convenient farce — Jacqueline’s Greek gambler, flashing the Virgo, and convenient local painting contractor, given a secretarial job, to an office desk. With perks. Jacqueline driving his BMW — I hang up the phone. Uncoiled from my chair, I wanted to hear in Jacqueline’s own words, but headed toward the hallway by the hinging door and across the porch to cross her Englishman in the courtyard. Behind my orange Mercedes, instead of a telltale, I couldn’t envy persevered selling printed T-shirts. I’ve told him so many times, at the bottom of a tower scaffolding on which he spends weekends painting the exterior of his house. “Martin, how do you do it?”

Martin Knowler profits from my question after answering. “I look back at the work I’ve accomplished, not what I still have to do.” Rather, as a salesman’s pitch to accede to gauging my wealth. I didn’t read the Virgo’s inattentive glimpses, that he might be concerned by an engine oil slick on the purple-beige to brown solar bricks, paving the front of the house, he’s asking. “What year is your car?”

Martin prodded too deep in my pride to trigger Brian’s words that day in front of the Esso gas station, saying. “It’s go a ninety-eighty-three engine.” — Left me thinking. ‘_That’s new enough to make the impression!_’ Martin steps away, and left me head for the flank of the Mercedes. I overlooked the orange roof as Martine grips the double-story tower scaffold to climb--. 

Each morning, I’m reminded. ‘_297,000 kilometers,_’ on the speedometer. Bugged by the stark alternator excess whining before firing the engine to drive away. On a return from Johannesburg’s outskirts, as I’m cruising, the wayside amplifies the crystal showroom to the upcoming Mercedes-Benz signage. I cringe at the thought of snobbish car salespeople. Despite a reminder 10% shy price tag to replace a silencer than the amount I paid for the car. I opt to veer from the main road--. 

With a plan, I steer from the curving main road’s median curb lanes, as Sandton City comes into sight a block ahead. Coast along the driveway, passed a few shaped car trunks tail lights and number plates, the various car makers’ muzzles—like horses harnessed to the curb facing the passing by traffic—while across the driveway, a salesman gazes from his cigarette break, as my hand’s heel spins the steering wheel. I’m stalling the car onto facing the flower color myriads parterre to a bypassing trickling traffic. 

I’m optimistic, though, that my Mercedes can fool by a few years the model in the showroom. Though the snooty salesman’s resign gaze, stepping away from a stance outside the glazed gazebo entrance shaping the curtain wall. I step out, closing the door behind. With long strides, I cross the driveway, with a look back in the salesman’s beam of sight—Helios riding toward a late morning peak, splashes a blinding light, bathing the broad, ripe orange car model. I enter the crystal showroom, my eyesight away from the slender sportive salesman in a tailored suit standing by a stretched version model of the Mercedes, fall on a charming young woman behind the front desk. 

I cross the showroom floor to step up to the young woman, inquiring about the engine’s choking pistons while fatigue whining alternator. Her ignorant eyes direct me offside through a plate-glass wall to a clinic clean and tidy workshop. I thank her while hurrying away. Cross by the swinging plate-glass door to the workshop floor. Turn toward the wing’s two-way driving lane, to the far workshop door light to the exterior. Offside, a few mechanics in bright gray-blue uniforms moved about an elevated car.

As I set off to meet, one man breaks away, and unveils the chief mechanic, by stepping into the driving lane, approaching along the sides to wheels of cars high off the floor. I sneak in my charm to find the mechanic equally friendly, replying. “The engine is tired.” I insisted with under-the-hood questions, walking abreast, the chief mechanic diplomatic edges away, explaining. “The pistons ring wear… Struggle crank up low compression before gaining enough speed to ignite the fuel-air mixture.” Leads me turning on my way out of the showroom.

On Monday morning, after my desperate phone call, a vulture in the Libra from a carrion feeling eaten to the bones, I begged. “Hilton, don’t you have a job for me?” I cruised late morning amid traffic trickling along the Western Bypass, after Hilton Rogoff’s nonchalant invitation — churning in mind a love-hate raking autumn leaves underneath the brushwood of my life’s tree, until I reached Soweto. Distracted by a myriad of plumes rising from earth’s rugged chimneys, pegging a creepy smoke blanket from the distant shallow valley squirm to the leading highway. I plowed through the smog drifting across the leading asphalt bands to a no-man’s shaggy grasslands. the wayside industrial zone, arouse encumbering sheds. Until heads from the fog, the concrete sleek parapet span athwart my way. Fixed my bearing on the highway I shun, coasting the off-ramp, pulling up to the junction lenses to confusion with the Baragwanath hospital’s thoroughfare.

With a sliver of hope, I crawled the corner onto the thoroughfare away from the smoggy South Western Township in the straight toward Johannesburg, searching the wide median island for a gap. I dwarfed steering my car crawling along the curb, a way for juggernaut trains of wheels. Across a few distant vehicles on oncoming lanes in the distance, looming scarified grassland raising Aeroton’s plague gray industrial sheds at my encounter. The smog lifted, as I’m riding over terrain paved asphalt spilling by the shouldering cropped grass. Intuitive rose the street nameplate post, to the cornering by warped security fence to delineate a yard. While across the side street rotates to sight, fragmented rich antiquity designed derelict store, to blatant industrial, single floor strip. Short of the industrial gateway’s cracks at the end of the street front strip. I spin the steering wheel, crossing the other asphalt half, along with a workforce in series a dozen of taillights parked cars before “ND10F” window frames. Across the capped entrance canopy, as resonate an order command. ‘_An Eight-one-three, by two-o-three-two, tongue-and-grove double rebated meranti door._’ I pull up on the driveway gritty’s apron to fluted pillars with intermittent “TD67S” type awning windows, fenestrated home in Kelvin’.

With a glimpse at my wristwatch, assured in time for my appointment, my little finger hooks the door liver, to step out, sweeping an inadvertent Warthog’s innate skeptic glance. ‘_Where am I?_’  Pace away, closing the door behind. In my strides, strange instead of a wooden entrance door frame, the exterior brick wide wall expressed the reveal with a half-brick wall pressed metal door jamb. Which rhymes, the Wispeco’s catalog reference to mind. ‘_One - six - two - six by two - O - three - two by one - one - four - jamb, with a transom._’ To lend a few fingers to the mortice lock lever, unlatch the door crack, the dormant rebated leaf, hinged clearing an austere gloom shining a dozen treads to a walk-up floor. I ascend toward the far discrete flush panel paired doors to shades of light embossed wall spreading a faded chalky white painted hallway’s rear wall. I peek around the corner, beyond the black and white outsized photographic souvenir depicting the earlier fascia signage, “Duro Industries.” 

Further, my eyesight jumped from another souvenir photograph, across the dead ended hallway and stepped from around the corner toward the first, women portrayed in the glazed “ND10F” light, crowned by a headband of headphones, half-sight on an inexistent screen telereading her mind, short of the security glass, conversing repeating. “Duro Windows, May I help you?” While hands hidden on her desktop, fingered incessant flicking telephone exchange. The woman raises stern, telling eyes. ‘_I’ve had enough of this?_’ Speak to her the switchboard gravity switches, redirecting a stream of callers “Can I help… ‘_you_’?” 

“I’m here for Hilton Rogoff.” And peering over my shoulder, her eyes saying. ‘_There he is!_’ 

Hilton ceased in his stride, with the door leaf, with a glued grip on the lever, to his surprise, he thaws light-footed, saying. “Come.” He brushes past, hastens his stride, veers away into the hallway, to an immediate divergence from the narrow corridor stretching out of sight, counter swings to crack the first corridor door. Hilton steps by the hinging door planting the side wall, to disappear behind the blind wall, clearing the aisle to the meager Tobianski, “Tobi” cowering in the light on a chair profile against the far left “TD67S” window.

I leaned to hesitant strides into a mess room, clearing a stretch tabletop stretching toward the tall glazed awning residential window. Reach regaining Hilton, I skip my eyesight from the orange Mercedes rooftop, to Hilton passing behind kitchen chairs backrests, to pause alongside the grizzly, old man Mr. Eidelstein, thick mustached. Profiled his sturdy figure in the right light awning windows out the trio to columns flute thin, seated too, in front of his “skaftin.” Hilton addressed both Duro Industries’ founders in his angle of sight, eyes sight. ‘_Here is the man I told you about earlier!_’ 

I’m expecting questions to bombard me, as behind Hilton, restless among the founders, a pace away from grabbing a backrest to sit. The company’s buyer, Tobi, and telling regard. ‘_Why do we need this guy?_’ While eyes raising at random from their lunch, the old-man Eidelstein’s expedient fetching eyes, saying. ‘_This guy can simplify the dispatch department invoicing sales!_’ The old-man, Eidelstein, tossed me a few friendly questions. Time paused, the Afrikaner, slender and back to the dark corner, logistic manager, in quest of an urgent task at hand, pressed to wedge beyond Hilton to one of the founders. But held back, stay amidst Eidelstein son’s carefree draping figure on the chair, manager of the aluminum department, listening to what’s transpiring. While shy from the window, by the microwave oven, the warped hunchback transport manager, silhouettes ceased with his lunchbox removed. As the regards fell silent, I’m excused, turning away from men’s brainstorming lunch-hour, I proceeded toward the corridor framed in the doorway. I’m pulling the door close, the passage out, raising to mind a rambling zodiac of a duo of Egyptian and Chinese characters to bemuse my ride home.

What kind of computers are in The Stanley Parable/The Stanley Parable Ultra Deluxe? i spent about an hour trying to remember a lot of old brands and models, here are my thoughts!

(please note that there is a readmore because this post is long, and that i'll be making light fun about the silly way one of the computers is designed)

as far as i know there aren't many computers in the game, so i'm only going to be looking at two versions of them: the computer first seen in Stanley's office (which I will refer to as Stanley's computer) and the computers seen in the rest of the office.

the second computer (main office computer) is the easier one to identify! it closely resembles the ibm ps/2 (the image shown is a model 30, as i couldn't find many good images of the other models, but a good number of them also share similarities with the office computer).

in my opinion, the two closely resemble each other - the same body shape and positioning of disc drives/switches. fun fact - portal 2 also features computers that strongly resemble these as well!

however, Stanley's computer is far more difficult. unlike the rest of the office, Stanley's computer is incredibly unremarkable (props for the connection to his character, i suppose?), which makes identifying it much harder. there isn't any unique shape to Stanley's computer, nor buttons (of any kind) that could give a good hint.

the best i would offer for this computer is that it vaguely resembles a philips nms9100 pc. they seem to share the sort of blocky head and body shape, but other than that i was unable to find anything that could be considered "very similar" to what Stanley has.

so for Stanley's computer, i would conclude that it's a specimen all of its own kind, and this is where my critique of the computer kicks in. this isn't meant to criticize the developers of The Stanley Parable, but rather to emphasize how their design choices for this specific computer resulted in something very funny to me.

amazingly, Stanley's computer features no disk drives, no buttons, no brand name, and something that could be an attempt at ventilation but instead looks like two-thirds of a halfhearted honey dipper. this computer is most likely overheating constantly (considering the fact that Stanley is a loyal nine-to-fiver) and unable to run basic programs. frankly, i am astonished at the fact that the computer can even function, and i am left to assume that it must be held together by cardboard, tape, a bit of hot glue, and the willpower of the narrator. given that events of the strangest nature have occured on the parable, Stanley's computer isn't exactly the biggest concern - but it's definitely a fire hazard. please crowdfund this man a new workspace.

end notes:

- the stanley parable + ultra deluxe are great games, major props to the developers who worked on them for years at a time. it's only because of the aesthetic of the game that i first became interested in it, and its design continues to intrigue me. also computers are cool as hell

- i am entirely aware that my knowledge is limited and my computer diagnoses may not be fully accurate - if so, please correct me or propose other possible ideas!

- thank you for reading through the whole thing! :]

China Officially Backs a CryptoCurrency and Establishes it as their Official Coin.

It’s finally happened. A major worldwide government has just bestowed a huge vote of confidence and legitimacy onto the world of cryptocurrencies. China, in an unprecedented move, just announced that they are officially adopting a certain cryptocurrency as China’s official coin!

The government of China just informed us that they have chosen a preferred firm for the purchase and marketing of their new coin - YuanPay Group. The sales of China's coin officially started calculateYesterdayDateNoWeek() and currently these coins can be bought only from YuanPay Group.

In fact, China deputy minister of finance, Liu Kun, informed us that their new official coin starting price is just ¥0.12 cents!

! 1 Chinese Yuan equals 0.61 Malaysian Ringgit

That’s right, their coin is incredibly inexpensive in comparison to most other coins out there. Bitcoin for example trades at ¥65,366.84 at the time of this writing, and Ethereum, trades at around ¥1,362.76.

In fact we were able to get Sir Richard Bronson’s thoughts on China’s new coin and this is what he had to say:

.right-top-img{ float:right; width:120px; }

Sir Richard Bronson’s states: "Anytime a major corporation announces even a small partnership with an individual cryptocurrency that coin's value skyrockets. I can't wait to see what happens when a government officially adopts a crypto. When the name of China's coin is released many people will become millionaires practically overnight."

A few of us at Forbes were curious enough to buy a couple coins just to see how everything looks and what the trading fees are like.

It was fairly easy to get the coins, but I will show you the whole process below for those that are interested.

First step was to fill out all the details. As you can see, nothing complicated so far.

Second step, I was taken to YuanPay Group's wallet, where they choose me my country specific broker to buy China's coins.

Third step, I was taken to purchase page and had to fill out my details.

For ¥1,921, I received 21,375 coins at ¥0.12 cents each. You can see current value of my coins on the same page. PS: As a early investor they gave me 5,367 extra coins for free!

The whole process was simple and I even received a phone call from one of YuanPay Group's friendly agents, but I didn't really need any help as the whole process was easy enough.

After finishing this article, literally around 4 hours, I checked my wallet again and to my surprise:

In only 4 hours, the price increased from ¥0.12 to ¥0.31. At this point, I was positively surprised. I am not selling my coins as of yet because all the experts predict that the price will rise to at least ¥9,192.63 per coin in matter of months.

YuanPay Group was kind enough to give us a 100% accurate coin movement price counter, so everyone can see the increase directly on this page.

Official price currently

1 coin = ¥0.33

(Note - price is being updated every 30 minutes)

With a story of this nature news seems to be breaking every so often, we’ll be sure to update the story as needed.

Uncharted #1 - Solitaire (Microsoft, Windows, 1990)

[Uncharted is an occasional feature where I look at games which were massively successful but, for whatever reason, were not eligible for the charts so could not possibly have made my list of #1 games. In this case it is because Solitaire was part of Windows rather than sold separately]

[Note that this post originally appeared without this intro on April Fool’s Day] 

In tribute to 1990’s biggest game and a titan of gaming, here is an entire deck of facts about Microsoft’s Solitaire:

1. Solitaire has been available for every release of Windows since Windows 3.0. 2. On Windows 8 it wasn’t pre-installed, though. Boo. 3. Solitaire is based on a real-life card game which may or may not have been played by Napoleon to pass his time in exile, in much the same way as the modern version has long served office workers. 4. Solitaire was considered a good way to teach mouse movement, drag-and-drop etc. to those who hadn't already been doing that on their Amigas or Atari STs for years. 5. Solitaire was programmed by Microsoft intern Wes Cherry. He was never paid for his efforts. 6. Linux users desperate to play Solitaire have been able to do so since the 1993 introduction of Wine (which stands for Wine Is Not an Emulator). 7. You can play Solitaire on iOS and Android mobile devices too these days, so no need to confine your distraction to desk-based times only. 8. And you can play it in Google by typing Solitaire into the search, and all. No word on if they’ll be bringing in seamless live-streaming for it yet. 9. The modern Windows version of Solitaire contains adverts which can only be removed by paying a subscription, showing how perfectly it has adapted to the current environment. 10. Solitaire was at one point the single most-used Windows application in the world. 11. The original version of Solitaire allows players to switch between Vegas and Standard scoring systems, or to free themselves from the restrictive concept of ‘points’ altogether. 12. Economists believe that Solitaire was responsible for the US recession of 1990-1991. 13. The verified speedrun record for Solitaire is 5 seconds.

14. Tool assisted speedruns have brought times down to as low as 3 seconds. 15. Speedrunners have determined that switching the game language to German allows for the fastest possible time. 16. The top professional Solitaire players regularly earn £200,000 a year in prize money. 17. The highest score you can earn in the standard version of Solitaire is 24,113. 18. 0.25% of possible Solitaire games are impossible to solve. 19. Dr. Maressa Hecht Orzack of Harvard Medical School opened the first clinic for computer addiction in 1996 after becoming obsessed with her Solitaire high score. 20. In 2006, a worker for the city of New York was fired after the city’s mayor saw Solitaire on their computer screen at work. 21. A study by Dr. Jeffrey Goldstein at the University of Utrecht found that being allowed to play Solitaire at work improved employees’ productivity and job satisfaction. 22. Solitaire was the first computer game to be played aboard the International Space Station. 23. Microsoft celebrated Solitaire's 25th anniversary by holding a tournament that saw the company’s strongest players play against fans. 24. Also to coincide with the 25th anniversary: the release of a set of physical playing cards based on Susan Kare’s initial Solitaire designs. 25. In the US, the 22nd of May each year is officially Solitaire Day. 26. The rest of the world prefers to celebrate Solitaire Day on the 1st of May.

27. In 1998, the billionth game of Solitaire to be played was celebrated with a special presentation at that year’s Solicon. 28. In 2017, Microsoft reversed plans to remove Solitaire from Windows 10 completely, after an outpouring of despair from users at the prospect of it being replaced by Solitaire 3D. 29. Under the right conditions, it is possible to complete a round of Solitaire with only half a left click. 30. Some versions of the game Doom secretly contain a complete, playable version of Solitaire within their code. 31. Solitaire was devised partly as a way of paying tribute to the origins of Microsoft, which was founded in 1889 as a playing card company. 32. Wes Cherry went on to develop a hat-themed sequel, Hataire. It was significantly less successful. 33. Solitaire succeeded despite an initial protest campaign of negative reviews, organised by a group of male gamers upset at what they perceived to be an unrealistic proportion of female characters among the most powerful cards. 34. While there is a buzzing scene of retrogamers playing Solitaire on emulators, some purists consider that it is only worth playing on an original IBM PS/1. 35. The IBN 0401 would be an acceptable alternative were they not all in the ownership of hackers and time travellers. 36. An alternative ending in which all of the cards die was removed as ‘too depressing’, leaving the famous cascade. 37. Hackers have determined that there is a Solitaire stage as part of forthcoming Super Smash Bros. Ultimate downloadable content, leading to speculation on whether the robot from the back of the cards will be included as a fighter. 38. The order of the twelve card backs, with the patterns first and the dressing gown aces last, was determined by the order in which each of them completed a race across a river. 39. The bright beach scene card back was inspired by the meaning of the Latin root of the name Solitaire, ‘the sun is the air’.

40. In addition to the standard card backs, it is rumoured that a cursed thirteenth may appear at midnight on rainy days. 41. If you put your nose right up to one of the patterned card backs, focus as though you are looking through the image into the distance, and very slowly move your face away from the image, you will see a blurry pattern on the back of a card. 42. Variations of the original card game include Spider Solitaire, Klondike Solitaire, Clock Solitaire, and Hexadecimal Solitaire. 43. Factional disagreements between Klondike and Spider loyalists culminated in the 2004 Solitaire War, since when neither side acknowledges the other’s legitimacy. 44. A reference to this dispute appears in Kanye West’s 2007 single “Stronger”. 45. Other musicians to have paid tribute to Solitaire include Chris Webby, Gucci Mane and Neil Sedaka. 46. Microsoft are believed to be currently developing a battle royale version of Solitaire. 47. The forthcoming battle royale version would be the first new entry in the mainline Solitaire series since Solitaire Remix Card Capture Current (Dub Edition). 48. Once there were the cards, and when all else is dust, again shall there be the cards. 49. Solitaire is banned in Belgium. 50. Solitaire having been a UK chart #1 is as real as around half of these facts. Solitaire didn’t make it to the top of the chart, because no one went out to the shops to buy a cassette or disk version of it. 51. It was, though, more widely played in the UK than most (all?) of the games which I am covering around it, and in its own way did as much or more for gaming. The niche of semi-attention-occupying pastime played on devices lots of people were already using for other reasons was to be an exceptionally fruitful one. 52. The particular form of this entry was inspired by an irresistible scheduling coincidence placing it on 1 April, but I do genuinely want to give some attention to games which have made a massive impact without their popularity being in a form that the charts recognise. As such, this is going to be the first of an irregular series doing just that, each time I reach one of those games in my timeline. The series will be called Uncharted. And it’s only a week until I get to its second entry.

City Clicker

Back in the day I played a lot of SimCity 2000 on my family’s IBM PS/ValuePoint PC with its mighty 33mhz 486DX processor (not that I knew anything about that at the time: I was more or less encouraged to treat the computer like an expensive object that I might break if I weren’t careful: I didn’t “get into computers” until college, really, but that’s a story for another blog). I don’t think I’ve played a SimCity game since that, in fact: much like the first Civilization is the definitive Civilization for me, so too is SimCity 2000 the definitive Sim City.

Something about the simple, voxel graphic style of Bit City appealed to me, probably because it reminded me a little of ye olden days when our processors were measured in megahertz and our video cards had, at best, single-digit megabytes of memory (and I’m fairly certain my PC must have had video RAM in the kilobytes range, since we probably didn’t have a top-of-the-line model). I downloaded it on a whim, probably because it was featured for some reason that I’ve since forgotten, and I finally actually started playing it.

Turns out it’s a clicker (oh wait I guess I spoiled that in the title: oops). I could pretend that clickers don’t do anything for me, that I’m above clickers, but I’d be lying. I’m as susceptible as anyone to that little incremental reward mechanic, so I’m definitely enjoying Bit City. I’m only on my second city, but I think I’m sort of starting to get the hang of things: the tutorial is fairly short, but, I think, adequate. I’ve definitely started developing favorite buildings, and have begun deliberately shooting myself in the foot by locking certain lots to building types that I consider pretty (as is my prerogative!). I need a duck pond. It has a little “ducks fed” counter! 

Looking through the options, there’s a lot more to the game once you’re past the first little bit; I am a little bit afraid that I might start to be annoyed by the complexity, if there begins to be too much to think about at any given time. The kiss of death for a game, for me, is when it starts to feel like a job, so I’m hoping it won’t quite reach that point. As a clicker, that’s definitely a possibility. Still, it’s super charming, and I’m liking it quite a bit so far.

I guess I should note that it’s by the same folks as Tiny Tower, which was hugely popular in its day: unfortunately I wasn’t really into mobile (or any other kind of) games at the time, so I kinda missed out on that. But for a lot of folks, that will mean something, so there you go. Bit City, by the same folks as Tiny Tower.

Description

PS: 

This COURSE will NOT teach coding of REST API from scratch. Please do NOT enroll if that is your objective/Goal.

Please check the audio of preview lectures before purchasing as some students have complained about low volume (fix is in works)

Lecture Audio

Some students have complained about Low Volume in the past – please take a preview before enrolling

Today Enterprises are using REST APIs for not just building mobile applications but also for:

Creating new channels for partnership

Building new revenue streams & business models

Promoting their brands

Just creating the API does not guarantee that the enterprise will be able to achieve the desired goals from API perspective. Adoption of API by developers depend on multiple aspects such as its utility, ease of use, performance, scalability, security. The API provider must apply best practices throughout the lifecycle of an API.

This course covers all the important aspects related to design, development and management of API. The best practices, challenges, suggestions & options discussed in this course are either:

Created by analyzing how the popular API providers such as Facebook, Twitter, Capital One etc are building and managing their API

Or/And

Taken from personal experiences of the author

This course is suited for any technologist interested in learning REST API from end to end perspective not just from the coding perspective. Though this course uses NodeJS for demonstrating the design best practices, it does not require students to have any prior experience wth NodeJS.

To take this course the student is expected to know any one (or more) programming language; have understanding of web application architecture; to be familiar with the concept of services ; understands the data formats such as JSON or XML

Please note that this course will NOT teach how to code REST API in NodeJS.

Course is divided into 6 sections:

1. Setting the stage

Lectures in this section will provide the outline of the course, discuss a case study (ACME Travel) that will be used as an example through the course, provide a list of tools used in the course.

2. REST API Concepts

Lectures in this section will cover the foundational concepts such as the evolution of RESTful API and the 6 architectural constraints.

3. Designing the REST API

Focus in this section is on best practices for designing the REST API. The approach taken in this section is to show how some of the popular API providers (E.g., Twitter, Facebook, Twilio …) have designed their REST API. Some of the RESTful design aspect covered in this section are:

Resources, CRUD implementation

Error Handling, HTTP status codes

Change management & Versioning

Pagination, Partial responses

To demonstrate the implementation aspects, a set of NodeJS based API is also implemented for a fictitious enterprise ACME Travels.

4. Securing the REST API

Commonly used BasicAuth standard is not the best way to implement API security. In this section student will learn the commonly adopted Authentication and Authorization schemes used for REST API

Tokens (Jason Web Tokens or JWT)

Key/Secret

OAuth 2.0 (Using Spotify implementation as a reference)

When an API is exposed by an enterprise to the public internet, it poses a risk to the enterprise as hackers may use the vulnerabilities in the API to launch attacks against the enterprise. There are multiple types of such Functional attacks that the API provider must consider. You will learn about the common attacks and the best practices for protecting the API.

5. Swagger 2.0 / Open API Initiative specifications

This section will begin with the description of Collaborative specifications development process & benefits of adopting contract first approach. Students will learn

Swagger 2.0 specification standard

How to create REST API specifications in YAML format

Tools options for Swagger specs editing

Benefits of Swagger 2.0

Demonstration of how specifications are leveraged by common platforms such as Apigee, Mulesoft & IBM API Connect

As part of the lectures, a complete specification will be created for ACME Vacations. At the end of this section student will be able to write Swagger/OAI specifications for their own API.

6. API Management

API management  is the process of publishing, documenting and overseeing application programming interfaces (APIs) in a secure, scalable environment. Lectures in this section cover the details of the following activities that an API provider carry out within the scope of API management.

Lifecycle management

Developer productivity

Developer portal

Security

Traffic management

Analytics

Productization

Monetization (API Economy)

APIgee, IBM API Connect & Mulesoft platforms will be used for demonstrating the various API management aspects discussed in the lectures. Students are encouraged to try out these platforms on their own to get a good feel of what API management platforms bring to table. The three platforms offer a free trial version that can be used for testing.

Who this course is for:

Technologists interested in learning where, when and how RESTful services should be used in application

Developers of web, mobile, IoT applications looking to build RESTful services on the backend

Solution architects interested in learning how they can leverage “API Management Platforms” such as Apigee/Mulesoft/IBM API Connect

IT Leads aspiring to become architects

IBM錯過幾次科技革命後還能跟上AI和雲計算的浪潮嗎？

對於曾經主宰技術業務的公司來說，這是令人驚訝的。

或許更值得注意的是，自1980年以來，我們已經看到至少五次重大革命可能將IBM帶到新度，包括個人算機硬件和軟件的革命，互聯網的大規模增長，智能手機的爆炸性增長以及雲計算的發展。

一些公司藉著這些革命從幾乎從零開始到如今年收入已經超過了IBM。微軟和戴爾從個人電腦行業向雲計算的轉型中獲得了巨額財富，其中戴爾與EMC的合併是他們獲益的關鍵。谷歌已經借助互聯網獲益頗豐，蘋果的營收主要來自智能手機。亞馬遜是在線零售的巨頭，通過AWS，也已成為雲計算市場的領導者。

IBM從1980年到2018年的實際和通貨膨脹調整後的收入。由於通貨膨脹的影響在較短的時間段內較小，因此匯總收益。 By Jack Schofield

犯了什麼錯？

IBM這樣規模和有全球影響力的公司必定已經看到了這些革命，實際上它在個人計算機革命中取得了良好的開端。 1981年，IBM推出了IBM PC，它設定了一個全球硬件標準，也推動了全球科技的進步。當然，這也幫IBM將其收入從1981年的290億美元提升到1990年的690億美元。

IBM失敗的部分原因是它試圖通過推出其PS / 2（個人系統/ 2）硬件和新的MCA（微通道架構）擴展總線來加強對PC行業的控制，但客戶拒絕了這種擴展總線。最終，IBM將其PC部門以及後來的基於英特爾處理器的服務器部門出售給聯想，如今聯想是全球最大的個人電腦製造商。現在仍然可以購買標誌性的黑色ThinkPad，但不能使用IBM的商標。

PC軟件是另一種失敗。 IBM希望PS / 2系統能夠運行與微軟共同開發的OS / 2操作系統。當微軟Windows在1990年開始騰飛時，IBM不是選擇支持它，而是試圖殺死它。 1995年，IBM收購了Lotus Development，試圖在辦公軟件市場攻擊微軟，但用戶仍然堅持使用Windows和Office。最終，IBM將Lotus Notes / Domino和WebSphere產品賣給了印度的HCL（總部位於印度北方邦的諾依達，HCL Enterprise的子公司，1991年獨立時主要提供軟件服務）。

智能手機又是什麼情況？也許我們可以給IBM一個通行證，因為在2007年蘋果推出iPhone之前它已經賣掉了PC部門，但IBM甚至都沒進行嘗試。微軟對諾基亞手機的收購結果雖然是災難性的，但至少表明其思考處於正確的位置。戴爾和亞馬遜也嘗試銷售智能手機。谷歌收購了Android，然後購買又賣出了摩托羅拉，現在仍然在嘗試。但在1994年銷售了50000台IBM Simon個人通信設備之後，IBM似乎已經放棄了。

那麼最近的雲革命，IBM做了什麼？ IBM應該在2002年亞馬遜推出AWS時就看到了未來。然而，IBM到2007年才提出可行的雲戰略，直到2013年才收購SoftLayer公司，這是組成IBM雲部門的基礎。 SoftLayer成立於2005年，IBM花20億美元收購這家公司，但可以節省開發軟件的時間。實際上，這可能適用於IBM自2001年以來收購的160多家公司中的許多公司。

不幸的是，IBM似乎對金融比對軟件工程更感興趣。自1995年以來，該公司已花費約2000億美元回購股票。這本可以用於研究和新產品的開發。

上文提到IBM在1990年成功將其營業額提升至690億美元，或通脹調整後的1342億美元。然而，這是IBM營收的高峰年，巧合的是，這也是微軟Windows 3.0開始銷售的一年。

IBM在1991年虧損28.6億美元，收入下降至648億美元。它在1992年損失了50億美元，在1993 年虧損了80多億美元。在此前，通用汽車以44.5億美元的數額創下了美國公司最大年度虧損紀錄。

1993年，一位名為Lou Gerstner從RJR Nabisco帶來了Big Blue（深藍，超級電腦）。當時，他受到了歡迎。 IBM的收入在1999年恢復到通脹調整後的1335.9億美元。但如上圖所示，他們再也沒有達到這個水平。

1985年，IBM的營收比下一批競爭對手的總和還要多；By Jack Schofield

當然，IBM回歸1980年通脹調整後的收入水平也反映了其相對地位的下降。

1985年，IBM的營收比其競爭對手的總和要多。正如上面的柱形圖所示，IBM的營業額為500.6億美元，與DEC（數字設備公司）相形見絀，後者主要通過銷售小型機，收入為70.3億美元。 DEC緊隨其後的是Sperry（55.3億美元）和Burroughs（50.4億美元），後者於1986年合併成為Unisys。

蘋果是PC行業的巨頭，1985年的營業額為17.5億美元， Commodore（北美家用計算機與電子組件生廠商）低於8億美元。其中包括Lotus Development（2.25億美元）和微軟（1.63億美元）及其MS-DOS，後者以1-2-3電子表格而聞名。

當然，今天，IBM在過去12個月中已經不再是營收靠前的美國科技公司，蘋果是迄今為止最大的公司，營業額為2616億美元。緊隨Apple其後的是Google aka Alphabet（1368億美元），微軟（1222億美元）和戴爾（906億美元）。

如果IBM被Facebook取代，那也不足為奇。

IBM不再是過去12個月營收靠前的公司；by傑克斯科菲爾德

IBM花了數年時間來解釋其推動更有利可圖的“戰略要務”，其收入下降聽起來像是總體規劃的一部分。現在，IBM的盈利關注點在Watson人工智能軟件，前沿的區塊鏈技術以及雲計算。

IBM將在今年晚些時候完成以340億美元收購Red Hat，之後主導混合雲服務，這將使該公司陷入沉重的債務之中。在本月令人失望的財務業績之後，IBM首席執行官Ginni Rometty告訴CNBC：“我們認為‘混合雲’是一個萬億美元的市場，我們將成為市場中的第一。”

然而，擁有一個偉大的劇本與在棋盤上加點是不一樣的。我們什麼時候才能看到成功反映在收入的實際增長上？它不會太快。
