Well, the email client for one. Not only is it built in, it also functions better than any other i've seen. You know how many email clients have a spam folder that learns by what you drop in it and pull out of it? Opera mail allows you

It wasn't a transition. There is no other way to describe as this: They threw away a perfectly functional software package with thousands of features, and replaced it with a fork of third-party software that didn't offer even a te

5000 steps back and 3 forward as a token to convert the headlines from "Opera ASA throws away browser" to "Opera ASA releases new browser" is not an upside, it's still a dirty lie. And Opera 12 is fine, has even rec

The best learning option is to head to http://perl-tutorial.org and check out what the most recent things are. Reason for that is that due to Perl's sheer age and rate of evolution, many of the older learning resources are

It is not just a sentiment, but a fact that Perl 6 being called Perl 6 has hurt Perl 5. The only reason you don't have a lot of people telling Larry to stop being stubborn about this issue is that the milk is already spilled.

Without saying what your level of expertise is, and showing a sample of your Perl, drawing any conclusions from your statements is like reading tea leaves. Readability, of ANY code, is more often than not determined by how good the author i

I still use Opera 12 as my main browser in TYOOL 2016, with menu entries and buttons to load horrible JS abominations in Chrome.

What power users? Any power users that used Opera for that aspect are still using v12, which is unaffected by this, entirely; and no power user would use the chromium fork they put out with v15 and upwards, because all it offers is a dearth

It's a good question, and deserves a good answer: The new Opera, i.e. every Opera after Version 15, is a Chromium fork. That means it carries with it all the small and large behaviors like: Auto-updating. It also has literally no ups

By the point someone is homeless it is abundantly clear that they are faced with a burden of responsibility they are incapable of handling.

by Mithaldu 10y ago
You're failing to see the point: It is anti-social to force everyone to fully take on the responsibility of all their actions, singularly and personally, forever and with no limits. You hurt only yourself by creating traps that not eve

Seeing homeless people can be worse than punishment?

You complain against punishment, but you seem to be accepting of people already being punished for having been failed by their society in the first place.

You're confusing the legal with the moral.

It's wrong because it means to give up, to close your ears and eyes against the real problem. Anti-social behavior like "homeless sleeping in cavernous shop entries" does not come from nothing. People aren't normally lik

You'd need to normalize against the age, since some books have over 20 years of recommendations despite having been outdated 18 years ago.
