News: New Year's Eve Again for Unix Users
Very funny at the timing: There is a place in the PowerDNS daemon that stumbles over exactly this. At one point the C expression 1< <31-1 is calculated instead of (1< <31) -1. Result: since Saturday noon all PowerDNS installations have been running at maximum load, because the wait time between database queries is no longer being maintained and the database server is being bombarded with a massive number of database queries.
The problematic expression is in pdns/communicator.hh in the earliest method, which finds the domain that most urgently needs to be forwarded to the slaves, or most urgently requires an update from the master, depending on whether the server functions as master or slave or both. Details can be found in the archive of the pdns-dev mailing list. Here is the original article.
The E3 Project
Awesome: a project that writes an emulator for the TI Explorer II. So an emulator for a Lisp machine. No idea how good it already is, but maybe I'll give it a try when I have some time. Today's computers should have enough performance to bring this emulation to the same level as the original machine.

Movitz: A Common Lisp OS development platform
A very interesting project: a minimal system with a cross-compiler and Common Lisp as the programming language. Not quite a Lisp machine, more like a platform for embedded Common Lisp - so a minimal runtime for the target system, while development takes place on the PC. The target code runs directly on standard PCs, for example via a boot disk.

XFree86 Core Team Dissolves
I'm curious to see what kind of model this will turn out to be. Although I'd really like to finally have a usable alternative to X11 - X11 is simply a rather gruesome construction in places. A solution like Mac OS X would be good: a new, native GUI with a workable model and a well-integrated X11 server for old applications.
Because let's be honest: the mess of GUI toolkits that arose from the fact that X11 was designed to be toolkit-neutral and doesn't prefer any one of them is one of the big handicaps for Unix on the desktop. And no, KDE or Gnome aren't really a complete answer to that, because they disguise the problems of the base technology but don't really solve them.
That would be something for 2004: finally develop a usable GUI for Unix. Does anyone still need a good New Year's resolution?
