That's not the most common usage listed; the most common, which also happens to match the fixed phrase you used , is "offensive to good taste", the second most common is "disgusting, sickening, repulsive", the third most common is "insince

'fulsome' means the opposite of what you think it means.

Good to see my favorite distro moving forward! I only wish they could have managed to ship Perl 5.12 rather than 5.10.

I would suspect that "door #2" is most useful in the (more common at large companies than small?) case where a technical lead of some sort has a position on their team they want to fill, and HR is a barrier between them and the engineer(s)

Something I've wondered for a while: how does the strategy pattern differ from just passing a function pointer?

Should probably note it's from 2005. Interesting regardless.

It still is, so long as it's sequestered such that the fibers don't become airborne. Asbestos removal projects done in eg. municipal buildings are often misguided.

Some of the crown jewels of CPAN that have been ported to other dynamic languages leave quite a bit to be desired. For instance, last time I was helping a friend with a scraper I was really disappointed in brokenness of the Python port of

I am curious about several things in your second line, mostly the refactorability claim, though. Perl has great testing tools, and its community has embraced them wholeheartedly for a decade* . I find the ubiquity of TDD-like practices am

I'm more curious about the cause of the steep walled canyon of P/E lousiness from mid-October of '08 that lasted almost exactly a year.

That there hasn't ever been a better time to use PHP doesn't make it a good time to use PHP, cf. http://vimeo.com/17675268

Most cases for whom? There are plenty of fields in which being cpu-bound is the norm rather than the exception. There are a whole load of assumptions that go into any general advice like this, consider making fewer of them today!

It was clear quite a long time before 1971 that Castro's regime 'had humanitarian costs', as you euphemize'; note that Che did all his torturing and murdering before he died in 1967.

I was really disappointed to see that sort of thing mentioned; I had been hoping for better, more wild-goose-chase-y examples where the wrong hypothesis was compelling and consistent with equations that accurately modeled reality - things l

YAML isn't a strict superset of JSON, although since YAML 1.2 it is very nearly so; with just a little bit of care you can avoid the edge cases (eg. you can have hash keys longer than 1024 characters in JSON but not in YAML), provided yo

>>Perl doesn't have it. It has an imitation. Since perl can't do lists of lists (you have to use what it calls "refs") if I do something like: my $l = map { ($_ . '', $_ += 0) } @list; I wont get a nice list of pairs but jus

How did you miss map when Perl has it? Also, when you say Perl's builtin data structures are poorly implemented, are you referring to the necessity of refs to do lists of lists and other nested structures or something else?

I agree that the Go example code looks ugly, although much of that for me is simply from their ideas on capitalization. Of special note from my perspective is that their biggest attempt to clean up syntax, by adopting a JS-esque automatic

You'd think NASA would know well enough to start the y-axis at 0. Lousy graphs of this sort create the appearance of deceit, even in it absence, and wind up giving ammunition to skeptics.

I'm told in Canada it's not allowed to have 'Engineer' in your title if you lack a P.Eng.; I think I prefer this situation to the common practice here in the States.
