npm 特有の問題という訳ではないんだが、AI にスクラッチから何かを作らせる場合、適当に検索してパッケージを持ってくるフェーズが npm はめちゃめちゃ怖い。まぁ認証のないサイトで動かすので安全かと思ってたら、AI がそのパッケージを node 使ってローカルでテストし始めたので怖くなって止めた。

最近開発されてるファミコンのゲームとか見て「何で当時はあんなしょぼかったんだもっと作り込めただろ」とか思っちゃう人は「全然わかってない」ので発言する前に当時の開発環境がどれだけ「遅くて高額だったか」を調べてみると良いと思います。あの当時圧倒的にメモリが多かったMacintoshでもPhotoshop(3.0/1994)とか使うと「起動するのに数分」「10MBのJPEG保存するのに数分」「アプリを同時起動できるほどのメモリが無いので行ったり来たりする度に10分待ちコース」とかだったのでデータを作るだけでほんとに時間がかかりました 1秒ぐらいで起動/保存できる現代と比べると「試行錯誤できる回数」が雲泥の差ですでこれを踏まえて「一ヶ月ぐらいで市販ゲームを作ってた人達」が如何に凄かったか理解できると思います

Dennis Ritchie invented C in 1972, co-built Unix in 1969, and his code is running inside every device you are reading this on right now and the colleague who announced his death had to do it through a Google+ post because no journalist thought to check. He worked at Bell Labs in New Jersey for 44 years. He never gave a keynote. He never ran a company. He never appeared on a magazine cover. He just wrote code that became the invisible foundation everything else is built on. Here is what he actually built, and why it matters more than almost anything that happened in tech. In 1969, Bell Labs had just walked away from one of the most ambitious computing projects in history. The Multics project, a joint effort between MIT, Bell Labs, and General Electric, had collapsed under its own weight. Too complex. Too expensive. Too slow. Bell Labs pulled out. Ken Thompson and Dennis Ritchie refused to let the ideas die. Working in a small office in Murray Hill, New Jersey, Thompson wrote the first version of Unix in three weeks during the summer of 1969. One week for the file system. One week for the process management. One week for the command shell. Ritchie was working alongside him, and when the system needed a language that could express what they were building, he built one. In 1972 he completed C. C was not just another programming language. It was a different philosophy about what a programming language should be. Before C, most systems code was written in assembly, which meant every program was tied to the specific hardware it ran on. You could not move code between machines. You rewrote it from scratch every time. C changed that. It sat close enough to the hardware to be fast, but abstract enough to run on anything. When Thompson rewrote the Unix kernel in C in 1973, it became the first operating system that could be picked up and moved to a completely different machine without starting over. Portability was a new idea. Ritchie made it real. The branching that followed is almost impossible to overstate. Unix spread from Bell Labs to universities. At Berkeley, it became BSD. BSD became the foundation of macOS and iOS. Unix influenced Linus Torvalds, who built Linux in 1991. Linux now runs every Android phone, every major web server, every supercomputer on the Top500 list, and the overwhelming majority of cloud infrastructure at AWS, Google, and Microsoft. C became the parent language of C++, Java, JavaScript, Python, and Objective-C. Rob Pike, who worked across the hall from Ritchie at Bell Labs for 20 years, said it plainly: "The browsers are written in C. The Unix kernel that the entire internet runs on is written in C. Web servers are written in C, and if they're not, they're written in Java or C++, which are C derivatives, or Python or Ruby, which are implemented in C." Ritchie won the Turing Award in 1983. He won the National Medal of Technology in 1998, presented by President Clinton. He was head of System Software Research at Bell Labs for decades. He answered emails from strangers with technical questions until the end of his life. His home address stayed listed in the phone book. His colleague Brian Kernighan, who co-authored the definitive C textbook with him, said Ritchie was a private person who did no self-salesmanship. That was not false modesty. It was just who he was. He died on October 12, 2011, at his home in Berkeley Heights, New Jersey. He was 70. He had been ill for some time. The world did not notice until Rob Pike posted a quiet announcement on Google+, and the news spread through the programming community in hushed tones. No front pages. No tributes from heads of state. No candlelight vigils outside corporate campuses. The device you are reading this on runs code that traces directly back to what he built. So does the server that delivered it to you. So does the browser or app you opened to get here. Most people will never know his name. The ones who built everything you use every day do.

I admire Fabrice Bellard. He is almost certainly a better overall programmer than I am.

Oracle tried to take MySQL from its creator. So he forked it and named it after his other daughter. This is one of the most dramatic stories in open source history. Michael Widenius created MySQL in 1995 and named it after his daughter Mai. In 2008 Sun Microsystems bought it for $1 billion. One year later Oracle bought Sun. The same Oracle whose main product directly competes with MySQL. The same day the acquisition was announced, Michael forked MySQL into MariaDB. Named after his other daughter Maria. He tried to block Oracle entirely. The EU approved the deal anyway. Oracle promised to keep MySQL alive. They technically did. But the best features quietly moved behind a paid enterprise version. Bug reports piled up. Community contributions dried up. The soul of it was gone. MariaDB filled the gap fast. → Fully compatible with MySQL. Zero rewrites needed to migrate. → Wikipedia migrated. → Google migrated. → Most Linux distributions dropped MySQL and made MariaDB the default. Then in 2024 MariaDB was bought by private equity. A different villain. The same feeling. Michael also has a son. He named a database after him too. MaxDB. He only has three kids. So there are no more databases left to name. No more forks left to make. The man who named two databases after his children to protect them from corporations watched both get acquired anyway. Some stories do not have a happy ending. They just have a really good dad.
