@@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.

this is an amazing monologue and the problem-solving process is so relatable to anyone who's ever tried to make anything! also the style and pacing make me highly suspect that you watch penn & teller XD

This video was so informative/entertaining/riveting that we spontaneously applauded at the end! We love you, Tom.

I would assume you have watched every episode of "Scrapheap Challenge," in which each episode was a challenge to see which team could bodge the best device/machine out of a scrapheap to accomplish the specific goal for that episode. It was how I learned the art of the bodge.

9:10 is nobody going to comment on how that is the SINGLE best Ricky Gervais impression I've ever seen anyone do?! Is Ricky Gervais really just Tom Scott in a skin suit? I've never heard anybody have two identical ways of doing a funny voice

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.)

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.

@@georgedoty-williams2085 Software developers overwhelmingly use Linux or Mac OS to develop projects. He’s 100% right. Even Microsoft had to yield and implement a Linux subsystem for Windows because quite literally every single developer will say how awful the experience is when trying to dev on their platform. It’s not about being stuck up as much as acknowledging that Linux has a better kernel than Windows, which historically has been bogged down with legacy support with its own kernel.

@@nathandam6415 that’s fair, but I would agree with Tom that a quick bodge that takes advantage of already existing stuff works best in Windows and actual software development works better in Linux. And I don’t think Windows can ever escape its legacy support. If a customers working software stops working on a new version of Windows, Microsoft saying “you need to get the software developer to update it” isn’t a satisfactory response to most end users 😂

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.

I forgot which country, but one of them realised that they had the measurements for their tallest mountain, or it night just be a random mountain, something like 60 feet lower then they though. 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.
