      @@satan69 APIs allow programs to directly access other programs. When you log into Facebook on your phone, the app stored locally on your phone needs to connect to the database software on Facebook's servers in order to authenticate you and eventually display the database's contents in the app's window.
      This is done through an API, or Application Programming Interface. Essentially a collection of things one program is allowed access to have another program do for it. That would look like his LuaMacro code asking AutoHotKey to translate the input they just received into plain text, then taking that translation back and finally inputting it into the textbox.
      Tom's solution was to not bother trying to get the two programs to talk directly to each other (which would be a lot of work for almost no benefit) and to simply have them work independently by doing the equivalent of sticking an anonymous note under a park bench to let your handler know the nuclear codes will be exchanged at 11pm at the docks and hoping the guy knows what to do with that information.

    Best bodging story I ever heard of was when Supermarine were prototyping the Spitfire.
    They used smooth headed rivets but when the prototyping stage was nearly complete and they had achieved their targets for speed and maneuverability, flight ceiling, climb rate etc etc etc they realised that for time and cost restraints when it went into full production the production line would be using dome headed rivets. The limited knowledge of aerodynamics at the time they had combined with no computer modeling etc meant they realised it would have an effect but they didnt know what that effect would be.
    War was looming and they didnt have time to take the prototype to pieces and put it back together again (possibly multiple times) to investigate what the effect would be and how to overcome it what they did was...glued split chick peas to the rivets for testing and after a little trial and error found out that as long as the peas/rivets were aligned correctly with each other and mostly symmetrically the performance of the aircraft wasnt noticeably affected detrimentally and the precious top speed remained the same.

      It is not more logical, especially not in natural science. The reason why it starts on 0 is because that's where everything begin. Our numbers starts on 0, count up to 9, then roll over the next number over from 0 to 1, and the 9 back to 0. - Temperature has a zero point. Coldest isn't 1 K, it is 0 K. Length has a zero point; you can have no length. Well you can argue about the plank length, but it's still calculated from 0. - As Tom Scott showed; using 0-indexing makes maths so much easier: if each container has 15 items, and you have 25 containers, then 0-14 is the 15 items in container 0, 15-29 is the 15 items in container 1, and you can reference this number by using the formula item+(container×15). - A lot of stuff would be so much harder to work with if stuff was 1-indexed; converting inches to mm would be: (inch-1)×25.4+1 instead of just inch×25.4 - Academics, science, programming, all that benefits from 0-indexing. It's we common people who use 1-indexing.

      And R.
      All of them use the excuse that it's easier for non-programmers, which I kind of understand, but starting at 1 makes things more difficult later, you're not solving the problem, you're putting it back 6 months until they want to use nested arrays and work out a way to linearize it and convert it back or something similar, at which point the constant ±1 adjustments cause way more problems than just learning that stuff is indexed from 0.

    • @realEchoz

    • @weakspirit_

      in vimscript, its 0-indexed. BUT, every operation that involves specifying a range becomes end-inclusive.
      example: say you have a string "hello vim!". you want a substring "hell", so you do this:
      "hello vim"[0 : 3]
      notice how the end is the fourth character. the idea behind this (i think) is to be able to do this without error:
      "hey there"[0 : 0]
      as a bonus, Neovim has a builtin lua support :D

    Transcript of 16:12 to 16:59, Tom’s final summary of how it works:
    > Here’s how this keyboard works. You press a key. LuaMacros intercepts it on the way in, stop Windows actually typing the letter or whatever’s underneath it, it works out which number emoji you want, and it saves that number to a file on disk. Then it presses the F24 key - that’s right, there’s an F24 key. It’s not on my keyboard, it’s almost certainly not on your keyboard, but it’s still a key that Windows can deal with, because backwards compatibility. And AutoHotkey is listening for that F24 key, and when it hears it, it reads that same file, the file that LuaMacros just put the number in, it reads that number, it looks down the list of emoji, and it types that emoji.
    >
    > That is how the emoji keyboard works, that’s why I use Windows, and that is the art of the bodge.

They measured it back when they didn't have very good equipment, and never bothered to check it. But this measurement was in all the textbooks. So instead of recalling all the textbooks, they dumped 60 feet of gravel on top of the mountain. They will be updating the textbooks so that once the gravel falls off the textbooks will be correct.

    The greatest bodge ever was a video game cartridge. Unfortunately I don't know what game it was, but after they'd manufactured the ROM chips, they discovered they'd used the wrong byte order. Basically every pair of bytes was swapped, so the chips were no good.
    So they installed the chips onto the cartridge circuit board anyway, but lifted the lowest two address pins, and physically soldered little wires between them and the opposite holes. Thus swapping the bytes back to the correct order by bodging the circuit so they didn't have to throw out a bunch of the chips or circuit boards they'd already made.
    (I only saw a picture of the actual circuit board with the bodged chip; it wasn't labelled with the name of the game.)

    • @8bitwiz_
      @8bitwiz_ 4 года назад +16

      I wonder what system it would have been for. For byte order to be a thing, it almost certainly would have to be a 16-bit game, but on a single 8-bit ROM. (A split ROM would just need the chips swapped.) Genesis/Mega Drive uses a 16-bit data bus, so not that one, but... yep, SNES only has an 8-bit data bus. But you may have the details wrong, because that particular wiring change would actually turn 0 1 2 3 into 0 2 1 3. The correct bodge would be a 7404 chip dead-bugged to the board and patched into the low address line.
      I once dealt with a 68000-based system (big-endian) running a Unix clone that for some crazy reason used an LSI-11 bus (little-endian), so when it wrote to disk, every other byte was swapped. (This is known as the "NUXI problem".) If using a LSI-11 bus wasn't enough of a bodge, it was also built into a VT-100 style terminal, which has space for a card cage. When a floppy drive was added to allow porting files over to a PC, and I was making a conversion program for it, I had to bodge in byte swapping in addition to reading from a generic Unix filesystem. Often an old bodge forces a new bodge.

    Another space related "bodge" (or, as we say in the former United States, a kludge) happened on Apollo 11. Apparently, after the historic moonwalk, one of the astronauts broke a crucial circuit breaker with his backpack, which would have prevented them from igniting the ascent engine and departing the moon. They noticed that it was only the plastic button they had broken, but the actual mechanism was still intact inside the instrument panel. They couldn't reach it with a finger, so Neil turns to Buzz and says "do you have a pen or something?" Buzz produced a felt tip pen with which they pressed the breaker, and the mission ended normally. From what I understand, Buzz still has that pen in a glass case.

And most self-proclaimed coders seem to guffaw at C's perceived "unsafeness" anyway.
