Re: [U2] Does anyone have an MV BASIC cheatsheet?
From: Bill Brutzman People can write pdf eBooks without losing their homes... You're missing the math part. That doesn't just include the cost of paper and distribution. It takes time to write material, time during which an author isn't generating other income. That means near-term risk for a possible but unlikely long-term future return. During that time, where is the money coming from to pay the bills? And if that long-term return doesn't come in, who's paying the bills or the interest on the loans taken out during the period of risk? You can certainly assume that someone qualified to be an author is also financially capable of taking a month off to take a risk like this - but that's not a great assumption to make. A month you say? Yeah, at least a couple months really. It takes a lot of time to write quality material. You could assume that an author is gainfully employed and has a regular check to cover the bills. Maybe they'll do all of their writing in their free time on evenings and weekends. Fair enough, but most people I know haven't had any free time in years, especially not to spend on a risky investment. And writing a book in such free time is sure to extend the time out to several months. You can assume that people who get their hands on a PDF will not share it, and every copy distributed will yield an equitable return. I wouldn't bet on this either. You can assume that the author can make use of some form of security to protect the assets, but (without too much more math here) the cost and aggravation to implement security like this can be prohibitive unless you have guaranteed volume. (Aggravation can come from proprietary protection mechanisms, lost keys, lack of ability to move the media across devices, and other hassles for both vendor and consumer.) When faced with the number of problems that need to be solved, anyone motivated to write educational material can get easily demotivated. I'm just expanding on details above but I think it's reasonable to conclude that anyone who has considered writing a Pick book in the last 15 years or so has simply decided that it's too much effort with not enough potential return. T From: Tony Gravagno Related, there isn't a critical mass of potential buyers to balance the income potential with the cost of writing and publishing a book. Without getting into the math of balancing investment vs income and the consumer price for a book, it's just not worth it for someone in the Pick market, nor a publisher, to publish a book for the Pick market itself, or even for the outside world. ___ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
Re: [U2] HMAC SHA256
From: Kevin King I know you said you didn't want to use PHP but there's a simple function (hash_hmac) in PHP to generate the value; should be simple enough to send values in and get values back out through a OS level PHP call, if UV won't do it natively. Related, using cURL to do HTTP queries is dirt-simple. Before checking this forum I was writing BASIC code to make REST queries and parse the responses. That code is cross-MV portable, easy to debug, and very maintainable. It only took a few minutes to code each transaction. And the underlying utilities are FOSS and very well supported. Why not use the tools that are available? I don't think most people realize how easy it is to invoke functions exposed by PHP, Java, C#/Mono, or even the OS itself. These days I wish the DBMS vendors would just work on making the DBMS better. Way too many people are hung up on trying to do everything from inside the box, and the DBMS vendors for some reason never seem to get that stuff right.

Re: [U2] Does anyone have an MV BASIC cheatsheet?
From: George Gallen Of course there is also the financial gain from the status of being a published author. George, toss that one by anyone in this market who has published a book, and see how far it flies. Jon? Matt? Steve? Harvey? Malcolm? (Most people here are saying who?) These days the blog is the new book (many of us blog books-worth of material each year) but that doesn't seem to be the marketing venue that most people would think either. Brian could comment on all of that too. I'm not trying to proclaim the death of the medium. I'm just answering the question why aren't there any new Pick books?. It seems that authors are not enticed by notoriety or the lure of future work based on being a published author. Guaranteed compensation for work is the real bottom line. As an aside, I think one can draw an analogy with why user groups have all but gone away. All of the work is put on a few board members who do that work for free and in their free time. Without some kind of compensation people wear down. We've seen this happen thousands of times, in the Pick market and elsewhere. It also affects most of the FOSS that people claim to love so much. How many of you know the names of the people who write your FOSS? How many of you send money to the people who write the FOSS that you rely on every day, or commissioned them to make a fix or enhancement? How many of you have found that the author of your precious FOSS got tired (or got a girlfriend) and decided not to support their software anymore? It's all a part of the same dynamic. I like to try to solve problems rather than simply pointing out all the barriers. To solve this problem of books in the MV market, years ago I suggested that in the MV community we could use a wiki as a framework for writing new books, with a Table of Contents to define the content, and guest authors to contribute content on every topic and for each MV platform. The idea didn't fly back then, but maybe in today's world it would have more success. Of course the lack of participation in other community wikis isn't encouraging for that initiative, but this is a different kind of project with a different goal, so this could be different. Once complete, the book would be sold as hardcopy with the proceeds used to support the environment, fund code changes to make the process better, etc. Maybe I should blog this? ;) Tony Gravagno Nebula Research and Development TG@ remove.pleaseNebula-RnD.com Nebula RD sells mv.NET and other Pick/MultiValue products worldwide, and provides related development services remove.pleaseNebula-RnD.com/blog Visit PickWiki.com!

And does 64-bit Unidata get past the 2G file size limitations of 32-bit? ___ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
Re: [U2] Does anyone have an MV BASIC cheatsheet?
I don't knowWhen I've gone on interviews in the past, the fact I've had articles published always seems to go in my favor. Granted, books and articles are different. Can I say that without that, I wouldn't have gotten the jobs or at the same salaries...no, but it didn't hurt. The ultimate goal is to be financially rewarded, whether it's from directly from the sale of the book, or indirectly through monitary rewards because you have authored a book. Sometimes, the indirect rewards can far surpass the direct rewards. So, yes, to approach writing a book, not to make direct money from the book is not that unrealistic. -Original Message- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users- boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of Tony Gravagno Sent: Friday, March 25, 2011 4:14 PM To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Subject: Re: [U2] Does anyone have an MV BASIC cheatsheet?

George, toss that one by anyone in this market who has published a book, and see how far it flies. Jon? Matt? Steve? Harvey? Malcolm? (Most people here are saying who?) These days the blog is the new book (many of us blog books-worth of material each year) but that doesn't seem to be the marketing venue that most people would think either.

Re: [U2] Unidata bit depth
Ah so. Just because you are running on a 64 bit system you can still be running 32 bit Unidata. And for hashed files both static sized and dynamic, 64 bit Unidata does not get past the 2G file limit. For some of the log files though it does allow files to grow past the 2G size. -Original Message- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of Kevin King Sent: Friday, March 25, 2011 4:25 PM To: U2 Users List Subject: Re: [U2] Unidata bit depth You know, like 32-bit vs. 64-bit?

So what's the added value of a 64-bit Unidata? ___ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users

I like this idea. What's the first book you want to co-author? Each chapter could be written by a different person. Do we want to start with just an overview of Pick and then get more specific in later books? Or do we want to tackle a specific area in the first book?
