http://moose.iinteractive.com/en/ TL;DR: Moose is an awesome OO framework for Perl.

Tangential question, is there anything similar to Moose (Perl) in the Python world?

Kudos to Ilya, I love it when it ends successfully. It is kind of ironic though that eventually he got the Green Card via the DV lottery. Had he been fired without that, it would have been a very difficult stretch to get a job within 30 day

Sony Xperia devices have a Stamina mode that turns off data and wifi right after the screen is turned off. Big difference in battery life if one is not really interested in push notifications, etc.

The most important thing is that it teaches you what is and isn't important in life, or at least it did for me. I used to panic when a server or website died at work. For me, now, it's nothing. Of course, it's still urgent a

This is great news. Pkgng is very easy to use and achieves a very good combination of binary packages and the FreeBSD ports tree when you want to compile stuff yourself. Which happens more often than expected admittedly.

Beg your pardon, I wasn't trying to suggest that you should sit further from the screen, not at all. I was just stressing the fact that depending on the size and distance, even sub-100ppi screen densities might be good enough. Admitted

by aduitsis 12y ago
Are you gonna sit very close to the screen? You probably will sit half a meter (1.64ft) from a 26.5" monitor, maybe more, right? According to isthisretina.com the density of a 26.5" 1920x1920 becomes equivalent to retina (326ppi)

If they have any similarity with Perl 5, I can only imagine good things.

Exactly as you indicate, even in "classic" terminals we have features like unicode support, color, geometry reporting, mouse reporting, window title manipulation, arbitrary cursor movement, etc. All these are in widespread use tod

Similarly, I created a new coreos droplet just to play around, neglected to add the cloud_config yaml configuration. I couldn't find a setting to add it to the droplet afterwards.

Back in the day the original iTerm had support for alternate encodings, e.g. iso8859-7. This must have been like, 2006.

Yes, 3^0=1, but the wording "0, 1 and powers of 3, 5" does not imply 3^0
229.
by aduitsis 13y ago
If I'm not mistaken, the first number (1) is not considered a power of three, hence the initial (seemingly strange) three=1. See http://www.nongnu.org/ext2-doc/ext2.pdf#page15 for a slightly more detailed explanat

You can use perlbrew to install any version of Perl your heart desires in a local directory of your choosing. You can also install multiple versions and easily swap them.

Unfortunately history-search-(forward|backward) is not mapped to a combination in most common configurations. I prefer to map it to esc-p which coincides with the setting in tcsh. Like that: "\M-p": history-search-backward So you basically

Can you confirm that Firefox sync handles the tags correctly? I've had great luck with xmarks, which correctly syncs the tags. But I'd like to know that there is always an alternative for a feature that I've come to depend so much on.
