I honestly believe the current government is, in many ways, the best this country has had for the past 30 years (at least), even taking into account its many and very real shortcomings (the mangling of official statistics and the outrageous restrictions on foreign currency ranking very high among them).
I am obviously partial in the matter, but I also believe Argentina still has much going for it. The upper education system in particular remains very good in most places and is completely free. I attend the University of Buenos Aires and can attest to this, even though I'm by no means a top student. The resources aren't abundant, but the quality of the education itself is excellent.
Lastly, the government is forcefully buying the oil company that used to be state-owned until the early 90s neoliberal selling spree happened. It's not like it's arbitrarily taking companies by force. I think there's some kind of consensus in economics about oil being a strategic resource, so I'm not sure it's fair to extrapolate from this one data point.
I'm not the original poster, but MoinMoin is widely considered mature and featureful. I'm guessing they had a good reason not to use it; it may be worth asking them.
I hope criticizing the link itself isn't considered trolling here (I'm still new), but what I see here is an article that is 90% a quote from a different article and 10% pretty uninspiring commentary. Why link to this particular site instead of the place where the actual content is in?
Pro tip: after you paste code, it might not be indented correctly in the new context. You can select just pasted lines and autoindent them with V`]=. This should fix the indentation in most cases.
A better alternative: issue the ":set paste" command just before pasting text. That way you keep the original indentation.
With the risk of sounding naive or out of place - am I the only one surprised at this idea raising $2.5m? Not that the site isn't cool and well done, but I can't figure out how developing and hosting a site like this, say for the next five years, may cost something in that range.
What would they possibly need that kind of money for?
Thanks for the feedback! I fixed the handling of quotes. I'm not currently adding 'allintext:' to the search but I do add &nfpr=1 to the query string, which as far as I can tell from testing should be equivalent or actually cover more cases.
I did just that, thanks for the input. I actually went ahead and discarded the actual query strings being used; so I'm now logging access times, referrers and user agents only.
I agree that an extension may be better, although this may come handy when you're not using your computer or main browser.
I'm glad someone finds it helpful! I used web.py, by the way.
I'm not sure how to go about the log configuration. If the users prefer it I can just disable logging altogether, although I'd prefer keeping some information (not IPs) at least for a single day so I can get basic usage statistics. I promise not to do anything evil with the little information I may get in any case.
I put together this very simple app using web.py to automatically quote the terms in Google web searches. I was fed up with Google silently discarding terms in error messages and other multi-term searches that contained rare terms along with other more common ones and having to quote individual words by hand.
I'm not logging any IP addresses, by the way.
I hope you find it useful! Any suggestions are welcome.
Disclaimer: I originally posted this as http://finderr.com.ar, but I noticed some interest so I went ahead and got finderr.org for convenience.
I made this in an hour or so when learning the web.py basics. It's running on mod_wsgi.
Very simple but it's something I find relatively useful (it forces Google not to ever discard any of the search terms, which comes in handy when searching for error messages, log fragments, etc.), so I thought I'd share it here in case someone else does too.
