(words from Venezuelan living in Venezuela)

Actually, external debt in foreing currency is not an important factor in what's happenig. Even with the oil price collapse in the last 12 months, Venezuela current account balance is positive, and it's debt to GDP ratio is a lot more manageable that US or EU (although of course that depends on which exchange rate you calculate the GDP).

The hyperinflation (which we are not on the brink of, we are already living through) is caused, IMHO, by three primary reasons (each one is composed or caused by several others). 1- The total dependency of external supply, well in finished goods or inputs for production. Last reliable numbers put us in order of 90% of everything we consume is either imported or requires imported material to produce. 2- The lack of enough cash to import either consumers goods or prime materials to produce 3- The irresponsible printing of inorganic Bolivares.

Any short of resetting the economy, which may or may not include dollarization (or eurozation), is useless at this point, but once we are done with that, it will take maybe 3 years or less to sort this mess.

Then that's still very, very easy and doable with the Windows Task Scheduler, crontab, and many, many other applications built around task automation and orchestration.

Even in that context, the article is a pile of fear-mongering horse shit.
Magnus's collection is beautiful and I love his aesthetic, but I can't help but think it is the ultra wealthy buyers who own a dozen 911s who are driving up the prices into the stratosphere. It might be sour grapes, but honestly, how many Porsche's does one guy need?
Scripting is experiencing a huge resurgence, just look at the prominence of Lua in the ML community.

Never thought writing WoW ui add-ons would prepare me for a 6 figure job.
I wonder why all of his recent videos were recorded with my mom's VHS camera from '92?
Yes.

(Admittedly, my tablet is a raspberry pi duct-taped to a LCD screen, but I would have the same expectations of a 'proper' tablet. (Which is a major factor in why I am using a raspberry pi duct-taped to a LCD screen.))
I'd love to see a similar thing for repairs for cars.

Many of the procedures detailed in the service manual for my car are useless because the manual has too many variants merged together, and omit mine.
They already found one.

They'll likely hit $3.5 billion in annual revenue within two years. One year after that, they'll be the size of Yahoo (which is 12 years older than Twitter). They're already on a revenue ramp dramatically better than the one Netflix has had.

If that isn't a model that works, I can't wait to see the one that does.

Twitter's primary financial problem is an unnecessarily bloated cost structure.
Financial services are a good example. Lots of highly regulated legacy systems.

For many big name banks and credit cards, it's pretty safe to assume that a Z/OS mainframe is doing some work with the data you've generated with every swipe.
This is just historically and non-historically inaccurate.

First, there was no guarantee you could get useful data out of the programs of the PC and Mac era if they didn't explicitly support getting data out. I've got tons of sheet music in a Windows 3.1-era notation program that I can't get out, because it's stored in a binary format and there's no built-in exporter.

Second, APIs for web services actually do support lots of this. I have a very tiny script taking all my Foursquare checkins and sending them to a private Slack, for instance. I wrote the script. I didn't need approval from Foursquare or Slack.

I wonder if the author has actually tried using any APIs. The fact that some '90s desktop apps were easily scriptable and some '10s web services aren't scriptable has nothing to do with them being desktop apps or web services.

(Not to mention most '10s web services being scrapable. I don't remember any screen-scraping tools for Windows 3.1 or classic Mac UIs that were anywhere near as good as the web-scraping tools we have today.)
it's plausible that the crackdown was triggered more because VPN's are becoming easier to use and targeted to wider audiences (and so more common among non-power users), rather than a paranoid clampdown. as i understand it, vpn's used by multinationals are allowed if registered w/the government, and the gov't has listened to the tech-dependent before, e.g. unblocking github.

the situation is sincerely a mess, tho.

Review of Stephen Wolfram's Book a New Kind of Science by Cosma Shalizi (2005)
I assume you are talking about the recipe cards not being links? It's tough to build a linkable card with links inside the card without using JavaScript. The actual html link is the title of the recipe so you should be able to use that if you really intend to not use JavaScript.

I'm in the process of putting together a pull request to make sure the link underline shows on hover (that worked at one point!) and to get middle-click working on the card for users that do use JavaScript.

Thanks for your feedback!
I script my phone at least as much as I scripted my phone in the '90s. Probably more.
Because the victims don't have the resources to arrange legal help, is one possible reason.

If you know of an area in the USA where the police have the capability to admit a fault, or punish bad apples in the force, please let me know because I'd like to move there.

While stories of cops being fired or prosecuted are few, I have never seen a press release saying 'we fouled up and the settlement we offered has been accepted.'
Why is this click bait on hacker news? Leave this shit on facebook.
I use NoScript all the time, so yes.
The console security was good work. They wisely applied the tech being developed by academics and industry. There's a number of similar tech designed to stop leaks, protect control flow, and so on with crypto in SOC. I can dig up and post some of you'd like.
Is Everything Getting Fatter?
I don't believe repeating this viewpoint is useful. It is a kneejerk reaction that in my opinion fails to take the actual situation into account.

This wasn't a service monitoring everyone, this was a service monitoring elected officials, whose statements, whatever they are, are part of the public record. This is especially important as particularly politicians derive a lot of their power from what they say (and often promise) to their constituents, regardless of whether they actually stick to what they say or not.
Can you provide an example of this hubris?
That's a fair point. But it's worth noting that Wisconsin's overall drop in unemployment rate since 2011 has slightly outpaced the drop in unemployment rate nationwide, which isn't a mean feat considering that neighboring Illinois has trailed the nation in the recovery.

As for the public unions--I'd like to see someone take on the police and fire unions too, but that probably has to wait for another day. Walker's motivations for those measures are irrelevant. Pension and healthcare liabilities are going to take state and municipal finances off a cliff. There's pretty much no hope of averting disaster, but states that don't deal with their public union problem will catabolize more of their GSP base before the inevitable crash happens.

Then don't tweet dumb stuff? The implication that tweets - and by extension, history - should be mutable feels like 1984.

No. What is it about how the Met Office studies climate change and requests new computers that is interesting? They both seem self-explanatory, so it didn't seem like listening to a 28-minute program would be worthwhile.
I hate the word hacker. It's completely meaningless today anyway.
Though I must say the software industry is particularly guilty of stealing and corrupting terms from other fields. One particularly irksome example for me (as a former architect) is the word 'design'. When a software engineer says design he means css essentially, making it visually pretty. Whereas in architecture / engineering / industrial design etc. 'Design' means.. everything, the overall design or plan of your entire system. Thats just one small example that gets my goat up, there are tonnes more!

I might agree with some of your other examples, but not this one so much. Software engineers, i.e. computer programmers who actually write design documents before they write code, have never used the word design for visually pretty.

The word design has a separate and equally legitimate history coming from graphic design and world of commercial art and drafting. There's a not-insignificant intersection between that world and the world of front-end web programming where the word design is used to describe the a site's visual appeal and not the overall plan of the system.
Do you run a free software focused system like GNU/Linux? They're much more scriptable than OS X and Windows because (1) a lot of programs embrace the Unix interoperability conventions and (2) free software means that if someone felt that a program's scripting facilities are lacking they can submit a patch.

Even if you don't, I assume that you are a programmer based on context and your comment, which means that the applications you use were designed for people who know how to program and therefore are more likely to be interested in scripting. Also, as a programmer, you're more likely to be using a lot of free software tools even if you're not running a libre system.

Take iTunes for instance. On Windows I'm under the impression that it's not at all scriptable. On OS X there's AppleScript, but it's somewhat underpowered (I remember back in my Apple days I tried scripting it and found that some metadata fields were inaccessible from AppleScript, namely Album Artist. It's also woefully underdocumented.

Is there such thing as “Lost Technology” or is that simply a myth?
I've definitely looked into it. I bought, with enthusiasm, a tablet with the first version of Android that supported Python. Installing the necessary pieces, and editing programs both seem to be super awkward, and my beloved Tkinter has not been ported. I know there are ways, but if it's not more convenient than just walking back to my desk and doing it on a PC, then it won't happen.

Also, truth be told, since I got a smartphone, the muses just haven't spoken to me with an idea of something to script, that's interesting enough to capture my attention.

Lack of a decent keyboard and editor are barriers for me. I need a larger screen simply to see what I'm doing, in my old age. And most of what I do with scripting, nowadays, has to do with things that are not on my phone anyway, such as processing big files and interacting with measurement instruments.

What's happened instead is that I got a tablet with an OS that's scriptable, and that has a detachable keyboard. Now, all I have to do is wait for those damn muses to speak up. ;-)

Wouldn't that ship be bigger than the resolution of modern satellites photographing earth? So in conclusion, not all parts of the world are being monitored from space, or at least nobody wants to admit to it?
What I don't understand is Intel's rationale for developing this feature in the first place, especially back in the dark ages when the current ideas about trusted software had not been developed (for instance, in the Windows environment, replacing a dll with one that passes-through all calls except the interesting one, which would simply return arbitrary data)

I always turned off this feature in the BIOS-setup of machines that gave the option.
G. did not like living in NL all that much so we decided to move to Poland. I sold my company, packed all our stuff into/onto an old trailer that we bought, hooked it up to the car and drove to Poznan.
I use scripting all the time on my daily-driver Android phone. I think I'd have a hard time listing all the uses as they are so numerous. I have init scripts to do essential stuff at boot (like mount encrypted volumes) and other scripts for backing up. I also have scripts that execute upon trigger events (e.g. notify my desktop over ssh if X occurs). Scripting may not be absolutely necessary, but it sure is immensely useful.

Then as far as development, its pretty much a necessity.

Introducing Vieux: Framework-agnostic, forward-thinking UI architecture
DNA Computing (1995) [pdf]
It sucks that GUI scripting is dying on the vine on Mac, but it still sucked even when Apple was trying to support it with AppleScript. It was always kludgey. BeOS seems like the only OS that made apps that were by default scriptable.
yeah, there at most a minute long. Really Nice UI having it stay in full screen switching between the videos. The other thing they did well is having a super short title sequence.
In my opinion I think it's generally the hipster crowd latching on to a new cool. It happens to every sub-culture. Obviously there is a limit to the supply of old things but I think you will find that once the new shiny cool of vintage old stuff dissipates the crowd move on and guys like Magnus are still there decades later doing their thing.

The custom motorcycle scene is a good example of this. So much new stuff flooded the market and everyone, including the new guys got bored. The shift to the old vintage and "garage" built stuff became the new hotness and now the old guard are having to pay stupidly high prices for half a cracked case and two burnt out pistons.

New comers with money buy up everything. Eventually though, either they don't have a clue what they are doing and/or give up soon after and just store the shit with the other failed quarter/mid life crisis dreams.

Like you though, it might be sour grapes.
That's true, but it's not obvious why anything in that code calls new or delete, since the destructor is defined elsewhere. So why does the constructor invoke operator delete?

The missing puzzle piece is apparently exception handling: if the implicit constructor throws (which of course it cannot) it must delete this object (which of course will be null). Sadly this silly requirement persists even when exception handling is disabled at the compiler level.
OS X. Even Spotify is scriptable.
It was mentioned elsewhere in the comments, but I believe you're thinking of Meta Programming System: https://www.jetbrains.com/mps/

I regret that I have not had enough real world experience with MPS to comment on how it might relate to what Facebook is doing.

But as for real world, a JetBrains employee told me that they wrote YouTrack (https://youtrack.jetbrains.com) in MPS, presumably using an "issue tracker DSL" but he wouldn't elaborate further.

That doesn't sound right. unique_ptr does not have a copy constructor so there should not be an implicit copy ctor (am I right?) Exception handling in the default ctor I think is right.
Plenty of PyPI packages have external dependencies (e.g., anything that uses Cython will require a C compiler). SWIG isn't needed, since it is a source generator, and it's trivial to ship the generated source as part of the release process. GNAT is not commonly installed, but since it's part of GCC, it's packaged for every major OS and distribution. So there's one external dependency that is trivially installed, and many packages have similar requirements.

Yup. I remember hearing about it years ago. You've got to believe that this culture comes from the top. The fact that Bezos is trying to pass the buck and takes no responsibility is telling. Awesome guy, and you have to believe he doesn't want Amazon to be that way, but if he can't take some responsibility for the culture he grew, it can only stay the same or get much, much worse as everyone below him will follow his lead and point fingers.
You're free to want sites to work without JS, but to be realistic about it, that battle was lost loooong ago. Sort of like the old definition of "hacker" vs the one the media has used for the last 20 years.

It's probably more useful to figure out how to make the all-sites-require-js world more secure and less trackable than to try to turn back the clock 20 years.

(Of course you're free to block all JS, insist on how it should ok, etc etc etc.)
The twitter api allows to get a feed per author name, so if you have a list of users, that's pretty easy. All you need to do is use a basic http client lib in your prefered language to do the http query and then some basic html css skills to show the result there :)

"Software engineers, i.e. computer programmers who actually write design documents before they write code, have never used the word design for visually pretty."

Agreed thats the way it should be but I have rarely seen that to be the case in my experience, though that is anecdotal.

"The word design has a separate and equally legitimate history coming from graphic design and world of commercial art and drafting."

I think your stumbling there logically a bit. Graphic designers also use the word design, so do fashion designers and so on, but similarly to architects and engineers they also use the word design to denote the overarching scheme of their entire project, not just the aesthetic aspect of it (as these programmers I am referring to do). Typographers had a lot of other technical factors to worry about in their design apart from just the visual appeal and clarity, similarly fashion designers must design their clothes to accomodate a certain 3d shape and withstand all sorts of structural stresses and deformations.
The treatment of autistic children in the 20th century
Oops, meant to right "to stop matter in a wrong way".
Just by reading the title I thought that finally somebody has been able to put in good prose what I have been thinking for years: the push towards more secure systems will kill scripting.

Can you script copy and paste or move the cursor? It will be used for nefarious purposes, block it. Can you install and run apps as a user from your home directory? That is a security hole, should be disabled. Can you read windows' titles and move windows around? That is an information leak, it should be plugged. I like secure system just like everybody but I am worried that this will interfere with my pleasant very automated computer life.

But this article is about something else, so I will stop the rant here.
The 987.1 (pre-'08) Cayman S that you'll find for under 30k is plagued by the IMS bearing issue that ruined 996 prices and early Boxsters, though. I'd spend ~40k and get a 987.2 instead. It'll hold value enough to make the price difference worth it, and even if a low percentage of engines actually fail, the peace of mind is very nice to have.

Plus they fixed a lot of other issues (better air-oil separator, more oil pumps, power steering heat soak) that will crop up if you ever take one to the track.

Overall I agree, though, it's a shame they keep holding back on the Cayman to keep the 911 on top. The 911 is an amazing car but there's no reason they should need to keep hacking around physics to keep the rear engine dream alive.
It is utterly terrifying (in Europe), the right is edging on fascism here(bible thumping, xenohobic, spiteful), the left is so high on "Political Correctness" (you literally cannot adress real problems because that is "homophobic", "patriarchic", "antisemitic", etc)

While I personally feel that Twitter taking down this service is a shame, and yet another sign of how reliance on these private companies for expression of free speech is never going to work, tptacek is right. When it comes down to it, Twitter as a private company is completely allowed to do this, and in fact it is in their interest to do so; these services harm Twitter as a whole, despite being (in my opinion) a net good for society. Of course Twitter would act in it's own interests here.
Why the Business of Being a Digital Consultant Can Be a Drag
Gcc with default options does. I was curious about this and tested it, expecting to get a segmentation fault, but to my surprise string constants are executable. A mutable string, however (char data[] instead of char *data), is not executable. I don't think this is a totally insane vulnerability or anything, since no memory is both writeable and executable at once.
Well, not sure if this is what you had in mind, but for example the U.S. has laws prohibiting the export of various encryption products, classing them in the same category as weapons etc.

I'm sure they will also have laws on the discussion (online or otherwise) of building or using explosives or other dangerous substances regardless of the intent or ability of those present to actually do anything. These pieces of information could arguably be deemed 'illegal'
"NeXT had services, in which applications could publish menu items that became available in other applications where the two were using the same data." -- am I mistaken, or doesn't Android have a similar concept in "intents," which allow different apps to send data to each other?

Android smartphones and tablets can most definitely serve as general purpose computers (for developers on the go at least). My daily-driver is loaded up with the latest bash, python2, python3, gcc, openssl, ssh, busybox, etc. I'd never carry around a laptop, but with a phone it is always on me so I can get right to work anytime I have a few spare minutes. Just pull up a terminal and ssh into a development box or work locally. Its as easy as can be... You can even run a full Debian image or distro like XFCE in the background if need be. I usually just ssh in, but you can also connect over VNC for desktop use (this is generally best on a tablet). It works really well for me anyways.
