54: goto fail;

54: goto fail;

By Marco Arment, Casey Liss, John Siracusa

Wolfram Language. The "goto fail" SSL bug and the chances that it was nefariously introduced by an NSA effort, possibly as part of their $250 million annual budget for such operations. Apple's warrant canary. Casey's and Marco's hard-to-find bugs and language misfeatures. (Perl protects John from writing bugs.) Whether language-interpreter warnings should be treated as errors in production. The Scriptnotes episode with the Final Draft CEO, the follow-up in the next episode, and Kent Tessman's response. After-show: Google lobbying against Glass bans while driving, and Objective-C exception conventions. Next week will be the Software Methodologies show. For real this time!
