Well considering how obscure the software is that implements it now, I can understand why you'd assume that.

However according to the Fox Technologies Wikipedia Page, BoKS aka KEON includes support for "...SSH protocols: SSH keys generated by FoxT ServerControl, or to re-use existing SSH distributed keys.", and they've had that technology for years.

Trust me - I'm not denigrating what you guys are doing and in fact I look forward to concepts like this found in BoKS making it into wider circulation. Just saying there may be a little prior art, as it were.

I don't know if it's what you meant, but I read your comment as overly dismissive. Pulling things out of references makes for better conversation. Of course, if you also don't have time or bandwidth, or it is just really hard to summarize, that is understandable.
History lesson: It never was possible on 3270 smart terminals, either.

We've had a shift back to centralized data storage and processing.

There were a few decades - the 1980s & 1990s & 2000s - where the canonical master of a data set might have been local to the user, but cloud computing has moved data back to DCs for centralized storage & processing. And we are using very smart terminals.
SAAB Automobile (not to be confused with the defense manufacturer) was bought from GM by Victor Mueller's Dutch company. When they ran into trouble and declared bankruptcy the government declined to do anything to save it and sacrificed some thousands of jobs in Trollhättan rather than to prop it up.
Be careful there - the bulk of computing is always in the background - the consumption of the results of that computing may move towards phones.

Take banking as an example, pulling up your bank balance, or making an online payment, is nowhere near the computing power of actually balancing the transactions at all banks across the world each night. You get a tiny sliver of a tiny report of the computing that happens in the background.

Entertainment, personal tools, communication - those are moving mobile. But that is just the surface.
This made me remember of Battleship São Paulo

Battleship São Paulo was a ship that... sort of fought on WW1 (it started the war as active, but the British complained it had poor fire control, the ship was sent to US for refit, but the refitting ended after the war ended). And fought on WW2 (during WW2 the ship had problems with mobility, having a top speed of only 10km/h, that was nowhere close of the original design speed, so it was decided to use it as stationary defensive platform in Brazil's northeast, where a couple of U boats were attacking transport ships).

In 1951 it was sold to a british scrap company, the tug line broke mid-transport and the ship was lost very hard (as in: people have no idea where to look for it, they don't even know the initial direction that the ship went after the tow line broke).
Utter garbage click-bait and FUD. "Scripting" in the form of writing code in high-level programming languages is not going away anytime in the foreseeable future.
What made me curious in this story is the fact that you and your wife decided to move to Poland. I thought life in Netherlands would be much better. You must have had a strong reason to want to live in Poland.

"Although MOOCs were hardly new in 2012—the term had been coined four years earlier by Canadian educators to describe their experiments with “connected,” open online learning— ..."

I suppose that passes as a basic explanation, but I agree that a better definition would be nice.
7000 years later and we're still communicating with glorified cuneiform. Maybe the reason we're using text for programming is because text is a really, really, good way of communicating abstract thought?

I think it's great for people to experiment with different ways of expressing programs. But I don't think the fact that programming is mostly text-based is necessarily a cause for disappointment, and my guess is that any future form of programming will look more like augmented or improved text, rather than something completely different to today's programming.

Ended up having too many customization problems with Summernote and Angular on our current project and switched to Quill (http://quilljs.com/) instead. Both are pretty good projects though, and each have room to grow into something bigger.
The new saline spray is horrible ... it will eat cars that were impervious to the rock salt and aggregate they used to spread. I'm looking out the window at an almost pristine '71 Super Beetle that will be going back into the garage for the winter sometime in October.

Where in PA are you? I wonder if we can create an HN meet-up this far from Silicon Valley.
That a hallucination is occurring is real, that which you hallucinate, i.e. perceive, is not. You aren't seeing a real dragon if you hallucinate a dragon, and that's what real means in this context.
Ahah, I'm pretty sure I'd have noticed the L/R splitscreen ;)

This is deliberate aesthetic chromatic aberration and it's annoying as hell. Here's an example from Alien Isolation (though in its defense, it might be the only such game that can justify it):

http://www.pcinvasion.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Alien-I...

Here's a bunch more samples, from games that aren't even intended to be retro (well, Medieval is retro in a way I suppose): http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1018237

The worst part about this gross slathering of chromatic aberration everywhere is that it's not even remotely accurate - camera optics were never that bad. Most film/still cameras suffer from CA but the sheer magnitude of it in games is way beyond anything you can get out of even cheapo equipment.

I just don't get why we have to simulate looking through a really shitty 1950s camera (that has been hit with a hammer a few times just to make sure all the glass is nice and loose) when playing games. With the Aliens game at least the shittiness fits with the retro-80s style, what's everyone else's excuse?
I had the misfortune of taking one of his classes on compiler construction. He was a thoroughly arrogant person with little ability to recognize that there could be other ways of doing things, and limited teaching skills.

He insisted on us using his own book (i.e. not the "dragon" book) on compiler construction. His own material was utterly inferior, but he created a lock-in where we had to use his own little (inferior) operating system with a strange editor and a single, limited pascal compiler. We learned only the top-down recursive approach, ignoring bottom-up.

No fond memory. I had to study the Dragon book on my own just to get some perspective on compilers.

He conflated his business interests with his teaching, going as far as collecting stats on how many of his books had been purchased from the Uni bookstore, and reminding us at the beginning of each session that the book (his book) was obligatory and that photocopying was illegal (it was not) and that he would expel anyone caught studying using a copy of his book.
That is the problem with the term. AFAIK Original term 'Capitalism' was a Marxist smear. However, Classical Liberals, accepts the term, but they probably would like a term like `Propertyism` or such. Again, Ludvig Von Mises says

"The capitalist system was termed "capitalism" not by a friend of the system, but by an individual who considered it to be the worst of all historical systems, the greatest evil that had ever befallen mankind. That man was Karl Marx. Nevertheless, there is no reason to reject Marx's term, because it describes clearly the source of the great social improvements brought about by capitalism. Those improvements are the result of capital accumulation; they are based on the fact that people, as a rule, do not consume everything they have produced, that they save — and invest — a part of it."

Other terms State Capitalism and Crony Capitalism are also coined by Socialists but essentially they are not accepted as a positive term by Classical Liberals because they are based on conflicting ideas of Capitalism such as protectionism and state monopolies.

that is why I understand the actual free market Capitalism when the term is used.
julia seems like they're chasing the holy grail: a language that's pleasant to do math in (python is distinctly not this), nice to prototype with, and robust enough and fast enough for production work. I would be delighted if they succeed.
Do you use scripting on your smartphone or tablet?
>Of particular interest is the Met Office's constant demand for bigger more expensive computers, and its recent moves into the more politically contentious territory of climate change policy.

It doesn't seem that interesting to me. One of the reasons supercomputers are built in the first place is for studying weather and climate [0]. And "politically contentious" or not, climatology is a reasonable thing for a meteorological office to study. For example, the National Weather Service in the United States does both.

Also, the Met Office has been involved in climate research [1] for a long time, so it's hardly "recent."

You can't claim semantics as an escape hatch in a discussion hinging on the meaning of a word. And if one can't object to the use of word like "real" in this context, then it wasn't an intelligent discussion to being with. In intelligent discussions people are more careful with words and always open to being more precise.
Same here. It's why I prefer to line-split conditionals in C-like languages like this:

if (condition0
&& condition1
&& condition2)

rather than the usual "trailing operator" style. You can immediately parse the left column as a sort of vertical operator that tells you how the individual conditions are being combined.

But then, I also like Lisp. Prefix notation for "and" gives the same benefit directly, no tricky formatting required.
Complicated frameworks are pain in the ass, I fully understand but there is a value in following some "market standard" frameworks as they make the team speaks the same language and will make it easier to bring developers in at any time without long learning curve.
In my experience: Insurance, banking, credit card processing, airline reservations, payroll processing.
Microsoft DigitalRiver Mirror
One of the first things I install in any Windows machine I'll be using on a regular basis is Python. Helps "unlock" a lot of potential from the computer (through scripting, obviously).

On Linux machines I don't have to install because it's already there :P
>ounces can refer to a unit of volume (1/128th of a gallon) or a unit of weight (1/16th of a pound)

Unbelievable. Surely at some point someone must have realised thats a terrible idea?
An air-cooled engine willing to run at much hotter temperatures doesn't need, cannot use, a big drag-creating radiator at the front of the car.

But once you put the engine in the back, there are all manner of advantages. You can get rid of the driveshaft (weight) lower the hood (visibility) and be more creative with shape (aero). For Porsche it was all about reducing drag. The original even had covered wheels.

That's not the definition of scripting that the article was refering to. The article was refering to automating tasks, which is usually, but not necessarily, accomplished with "scripting languages".

If you're looking at your smartphone or tablet and wanting to script it, put it down and find yourself a desktop or laptop.

Edit: Smartphones and tablets are simply not general purpose computers. I don't want a desktop type OS on either my phone or tablet. I certainly don't want a tablet OS on my desktop. That defeats the purpose. Smartphones and tablets are good at certain things the require _direct user input_. If you really want a smartphone/tablet with desktop capabilities there are vendors that sell that stuff. I just can't see a need for it.
It went all the way through. While The Wall means the border that separated West Berlin from the East, there was a deadly border dividing all of Eastern Germany from the West.

I've read this before. Has this already been posted to HN?

I am trying to convince my native born Polish girlfriend to move back for a year to live/work/travel. I figure I will pick up the language far quicker than my current pace.

She's a little apprehensive about our earning potential there. The Polish Zloty does not appear to be the strongest currency and the average wage is half of some of it's other EU cousins.
I take it you didn't listen to the programme.
If that's what it was, why did he publicly back expanding Act 10 to hit police and fire unions on the eve of his Presidential campaign announcement? You think WI isn't a swing state, and he won't need every cop in the state to GOTV for him?

Something else I hate about political arguments on HN: they put me in a position where I might actually have to speak up in defense of Scott Walker. Blech.
> was extensively used by the media to investigate instances of deception, corruption and ineptitude.

Because getting an intern to hack up a 5 minute Python script to do the same is too much effort? OK maintaining a list of current politicians current Twitter accounts is probably where the work is, but if you are interested in a number of prominent accounts this is not that hard a task.
AFAIK, SABRE is/was an airlines reservation system, not a GDS. SABRE evolved into TPF which is not related to z/OS except inasmuch as they are both operating systems that run on IBM z-series mainframes.

See http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/z/os/ for a list of IBM z-series operating systems.
"24 beer"

Is that usage (the plural "beer") a Canadian thing? I've heard it in Canada but never in the States.
I worked for a company that does z/OS software and got to see their client list--it was pretty much a who's who of industry leaders in every industry, plus a bunch of colleges.
Even in those years, the client/server model was the norm. Except for people using MS Access, or similar fiascos, there was always a centralized data store.

That doesn't invalidate the claim that scripting is dying. Sure, us tech folk can (and do) script all kinds of things, even even more so the Enterprise IT world, who practically lives and dies by powershell. But back in the 90s in particular, there were such a thing as "power users", who would script the crap out of their systems. That really doesn't exist so much anymore. Now people in that grey area between end users and the coders are more likely to be professional business analysts. The days of a true end user also creating their own custom scripts to merge data and functions from disparate apps is getting rare.

(Keep in mind, HN is an entire community of edge cases... of course we all can spit out exceptions to this trend.)

Now, I do not think this is a bad thing. On the contrary, most of those people were very hard to support, and the ones who did it well and were easy to support often ended up moving into IT/Analyst roles anyway. I think we are in a better place today, with a much larger population of coders and analysts, so the end users can just tell us what they need, then focus on the actual jobs.

But the claim that end user scripting is dying... Yep, I do agree with that much.
But there is no better alternative. If there were, maybe we wouldn't use language to talk and give instructions to each other either.
Rant:

The default response to "Stop resisting" should be allowed to be "Stop oppressing me".

Seriously, I am so freaking tired of all police activity in the US - they are actually ruining our country.

I would love for John Oliver to do a piece on "What if all mexicans disappeared in a mexican rapture from the US" -- showing how the entire country would grind to a halt if every mexican vanished. The point being that much of the invisible social mortar on how the US economy functions is work by mexican labor (cleaning, cooking, building, etc).

Compare that to the argument that mexicans are taking jobs/ruining the country... I think the US police force in aggregate does more harm to the nation than do "illegal mexican immigrants".

Further, if all cops were held to the same standards (there should be a national standard of laws and a central, citizen based, "internal affairs" that looks into every police matter, the world would be a better place (TM).

Fuck these guys.
So the future is Prolog?
I do, and you should too. Enabling JavaScript for all sites is a security risk (drive-by downloads, etc.), and makes far too much tracking crap possible. Since a huge number of sites are user-hostile with JavaScript enabled (loading huge amounts of JS for tracking purposes, that not only slows down load times and uses up precious bandwidth (especially important in countries where ISPs have overage charges for going over bandwidth limits), but also bogs down my computer when it’s still running in the background a minute after the page has loaded. Frankly, if websites are going to be so hostile to the user, the user should have no issues with returning the sentiment; I block JavaScript on all sites by default, and only enable it for certain types of content (like web apps, which you can’t expect to do anything useful without it) or sites that I trust. Otherwise, if I can’t even read a page’s textual content without JavaScript, I just don’t bother… it’s not worth my time.
Last good NFS game!
Scripting isn’t dying, it’s doing great.
For example, every competent system engineer needs to be comfortable with scripting, bash/ksh/zsh on *nix, power shell and vbscript on windows.

I don’t know what kind of application is the author talking about, and what kind of support does he need. Here on windows I can automate things just fine.
Some apps, like all OS components, web browser, ms office, visual studio, and photoshop have their own APIs exposed, documented and supported. For other apps I can use OS-provided UI automation API if I need to.
In addition, the industry has shifted towards open file formats and network protocols. This makes possible to process other app’s data in a way that was impossible in the early days of that amiga’s, when most data formats were binary because performance.

Average end users ain’t doing all that things but that’s not a technical problem. Just demography and marketing. Old computers were expensive equipment targeted towards scientists and engineers. Modern computers are cheap, they’re for everyone from 5 years old to 100+ years old who use them to post selfies and watch cat movies. You cannot teach them all programming, they have better things to do with their lives.
Comments like this make me realize how little I know >.<

I can't blame them. These things are incredibly toxic to the Twitter community. Already, you have to warn everyone who joins the site not to delete anything because people run services that highlight things that get deleted.

I mean that descriptively, not normatively. I mean: no matter how you slice the public interest, these things are clearly harmful to Twitter itself.

Obviously, blocking them doesn't actually help the situation; once you publish something on the Internet, it's out there, and people can come up with 100 different ways to get around Twitter's restrictions.
You got through all of them in an hour?

In fact in the very early days young people fed up with their nazi parents actually moved to the East to start something new. While the Soviets let East Germans build a pipeline for free once in a while, it was not generally their intention to let them suffer economically. Communism managed to do this on its own.
React is really scaring the whole web components crowd, I've seen a series of talks like this that seem very petty.

Web components look interesting, but I've been hearing the same shit for years.

Meanwhile I use angular / react / ember to actual build stuff and make a living.

The best thing is that even if you use web components you are still going to need some kind of lib / framework to handle routing, csrf, xss, rest interactions, web sockets, asset compilation etc.

So sacrifice one framework like ember, and take on 50 "composable" libraries to fill the same role. Sounds like a nightmare to me.
Regardless of whether hunchentoot works on clisp, the point was if you aren't using CLISP you're probably not developing in the REPL in a terminal.
"Hackers" aren't cool, they are equated with "neckbeards." Today people prefer being called "software engineers," regardless of whether anything they do resembles engineering.
I would prefer a service that signs up with major grocery stores to have every receipt emailed to my "recipe as a service" API where it is associated with my personal loyalty card ID, such that whenever I buy anything from, say, Safeway, I get a list of recipes that can be made from the known inventory in my home.

Make the delivery of "what was bought" to the RaaS completely automatic and transparent.
The only reason this isn't possible for most people is because the people who sell that hardware have made it difficult, on purpose.
I think scripting is alive and well. I've seen self described non-programmers do all sorts of interesting things with Excel, that I would have done with BASIC in 1981.
If you call a bill with all of the benefits up front and the costs hidden over years of implementation, bundled with the final takeover of student loans to help finance this, "reform".

You can get a used Cayman S with six speed manual transmission for under 30k USD nowadays, if you're still looking. It's mid-engine as well, so it has better weight distribution than the 911. It's a shame that they have to gimp the Cayman platform so it doesn't take away sales from the 911, though.
Yeah but they didn't kill the api's that ran the service. Seems like a someone on the twitter board got a call on a red phone.
How exciting!! lots to learn :)
I've never been able to get firefox to play well for me from the start (for me 2008). I searched for something faster and I found opera and used that.

As is mentioned earlier, firefox does not appear to take advantage of multi-threading. I take this to mean that it's performance would be the same on a quad core cpu or a single core cpu of the same speed. There's much more to it than I know for sure, but certainly feels like it has to share resources with itself as well as anything else running. I tried it out a couple months ago and then went back to Opera/chrome. Many of the same plugins are available in chrome that are offered for firefox.
